Darn 2020. .
Really sad that that another good homecooking cafe is done. My hubby and I loved going to Kenny's and getting the pork chops. Best thing ever!! Both of us are in mourning and hope that that they are going to change their mind and find it in their hearts to re-open in 2021. Our thoughts are with the staff during this sad time.

PermalinkI am a member of a group of men and women that began about 25 years ago. We are Goodfellow retirees, both military and civilian numbering around 25. It began when 2 men retired and started getting together for coffee every Wednesday am. I believe it was at the Cactus Hotel. It has grown and moved to various venues around San Angelo. For the last 6 or 7 years we have been meeting at Blaneks and what a great time we had. They were professional and very efficient. The staff always had our tables arranged and we felt they were like family. Kenny, we will miss all of you. Best of luck to you and family in your future endeavors.
