on top of everything, it serves great food. it specializes in familiar southern specialties and local food. for our appetizer, my husband and i shared a local cheese plate and the deviled eggs.

wow, this is some of the best southern comfort food we've ever had at a restaurant. the atmosphere was really cool too.

good southern grub. biscuits are heavenly - light, fluffy, not like b*jangles and you can tell somebody with good hands are making them back in the kitchen. corn bread is on the sweet and pudding-y side, and is ok.

the porterhouse pork chops are phenomenal! pricey, but is a good dish. highly recommended.

shrimp and grits is a big hit. somehow they describe it as "tomato based gravy" which was a turn off for me, but i tried it and it was perfectly done. (they should instruct the staff to describe it differently, as it turned off several of my dining companions from this fabulous dish) shrimp was grilled to perfection (charred at the tail and extremely moist), grits nice and creamy but not too cheesy, and the brown "gravy" had a little bit of kick. no chunks of andouille or red peppers, which is a bonus for me.

flounder po' boy - disappointed. the fish is good, but come on, a plain old hot dog bun for a po' boy?? even though it had grill marks on it, i consider it a total rip-off for $13. i should have gone for the "meat and three" for an additional $1 and got their gooey mac n' cheese or the crispy sweet potato fries.

on the topic of sides, they are quite good. creamy corn is what it should be - creamy, sweet and filling. fries can be a bit uneven. they are thin and skin-on crisp. a little too much salt.

the pan fried chicken is fair. the serving is plenty. a little salty.

overall, extremely quick and attentive service. casual and relaxing atmosphere.

and you gotta love the cause.

good food for price. the price is good given the uptown location, but found the service too slow during lunch hour and the mac & cheese was cold.

i've been to king's kitchen several times for lunch, and am really pleased with the food, service, and prices. while the fried chicken with gravy is good, i'm a huge fan of the meatloaf. they prepare it so uniquely - after baking it, they slice it into large pieces and grill it to add crisp. it's really delicious with the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese (double order of that, of course)! lately, they have gotten busier for lunch, and i suggest you go early. it's definitely worth a wait, however!

love the food - love the service!. the checked out the website - it said some inetersting things about the concept of this restaurant. the "best pan fried chicken" banner outside totally drew me in!
i went in for lunch and totally loved the chicken and the sides. the corn bread is nothing like i've ever had before! the pan fried chicken is perfect - so juicy inside. i had the meat loaf next time. it was awsome! am looking forward to fried flounder next :)
the service is so gracious. i felt very at home very welcomed here. this is fast becoming my every friday ritual!
