The King's Kitchen

"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!"

"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!"

"The atmosphere is nice but the service and food leaves little to be desired. We had reservations and upon arrival I shared that with the hostess. She seemed bothered and when we requested to sit outside without consideration she was like, “there’s no seating” but there was! I later shared this with the manager. The food was seasoned and the waiter was not engaged. Probably would not visit this establishment again. I’ve eaten at several great restaurants Uptown and thought this restaurant would be great, but it wasn’t."

"My best friend took me here for my birthday, while I was visiting her in Charlotte. We got there right at five when they opened. The atmosphere was great, we sat by the window and I had a happy birthday sign at my table. I ordered the crab and spinach dip. It came out pretty quick. It was super greasy, you could see the grease sitting in it. Stirring it did not help. It had more artichoke and spinach. I tasted no crab. My daughter and her cousin ordered the chicken pot pie. That also came out with grease sitting in it. The roux mixture or whatever they used, oil to flour ratio was off. My best friend and my daughters Mac and cheese was cold. Now granted, we got there at five when they opened. It should have not been cold. My meal was the catfish and collards. That tasted great. Overall, from viewing pictures online, they can be inconsistent with some of the food items. I saw a picture where someone’s crab and spinach dip was on the plate nicely plated (showed no signs of grease) and the bread surrounding. Mine was in a bowl on the plate with the bread surrounding. When I visit Charlotte again, I would give it another try, hopefully I will have a better experience."

"Our server, Ashley, was nice and so was JB! The food came out pretty quickly & was really tasty! The pimento cheese was flavorful & the fried oysters were absolutely delicious! They were fried to perfection. We will be back to try other menu items as the prices were pretty fair. We came here for a family members birthday & there was even a birthday sign waiting for her at the table! We all thought that was super sweet!"
