Karen's is an interactive diner and an absurdly fun experience. At Karen's you will be greeted and waited upon by rude waiters who in return are expecting you to give it full Karen. A place where you can complain until the cows come home because we literally don't care. You can expect good food, good fun and a dining experience like you've never had before. Let us know if it's your birthday, if your name is Karen and for the love of Karen don't ask to speak to the manager....

Sat at our table very quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was amazing but on the more expensive end for pizzas. Would definitely visit again. Atmosphere & music was a vibe.
