Best place to eat in Kennewick
I’m looking for a place to eat lunch in Kennewick that would be a fun experience (good food and atmosphere). Also , no Mexican food (don’t judge- I’m taking my senior citizen father who hates Mexican food! Lol!)

"SWAMPEYS BBQ is a great place to fulfill your craving for BBQ. The half rack of ribs was So delicious and the sauce is amazing
Brisket is 2nd to none. Smoked bacon potatoes are the best in Tri-Cities. Support local business not the chains, you'll be glad you did."

"I ALWAYS eat at Swampy's when I go here! They are the BEST BBQ food you'll ever taste! Everything they make is mouth-wateringly delicious! If that's not a word, then it is now :) My personal favorite is the Baby-back rib sandwich (Sammy). So good! They also have absolutely delicious smoked cobbler most of the time! Bring your own ice cream(BYOIC) and you're set!!! Follow them on Facebook to find out when they are open, and do yourself a favor and get down there and try it! You won't regret it."
