I love the mission.
The food was good.
Cocktails could be better.
I'm fine with the service since people are learning how to wait tables; just temper your expectations. The crab and spinach dip, fried green tomatoes and veggie plates were delicious.
I personally didn't enjoy the underlying flavor of the fried shrimp or fried oysters. Absolutely support the 501c3 and am glad they exist in our town, and I'll be back.
But I won't order mixed drinks again and I'll be more mindful for the food I order.


We had an amazing dinner at The King’s Kitchen and love their mission to help people in need and provide jobs. The fried chicken was delicious; the breading was so flavorful and perfectly crispy.
The sides were nice and hot and well-seasoned.
We enjoyed everything we tried.
The honey butter and topping for the roasted sweet potatoes were tasty. The sweet tea was a little too sweet for my taste but letting the ice melt helped water it down a little. Our servers were extremely attentive and they along with the manager checked on us often.
Such a delicious meal!


Had a wonderful meal here, with fantastic service from Ingrid! The foundation of what this restaurant stands for and is committed to made it an obvious choice for supper.
We wanted southern food and the cost of our meal helps others … no brainer! Super cool minimalist vibe meets great food.
We ordered fried green tomatoes, chicken pot pie, squash casserole and fried catfish dinner.
Everything was scrumptious… particularly the end note of coconut cake. I absolutely LOVE this restaurant concept of giving back!
