Kenny's Ribs & Chicken - Merrillville, Merrillville

Kenneth Lewis Sr. founded Kenny’s Ribs & Chicken in 1984 in a storefront on Chicago’s Stony Island Avenue. Lewis and company have spent the last three decades well, perfecting their flavorful baby back ribs, turkey tips, hot links, fried chicken, catfish, and more. Lewis has since expanded to three Illinois joints, one of which includes sister company Dusties Southern Style Buffet where diners can enjoy soul food such as fried chicken, cornbread dressing, and catfish. Kenny’s Ribs & Chicken serves up meals that range from feeding one hungry mouth to a party full of meat lovers, even offering bags of ice that can help keep drinks cool and the floor on which they rest even cooler.
