| - I thought this location might be cursed, with the quick demise of its previous inhabitants, a tapas bar and then a Harper's. So, I'm very happy to see that the King's Kitchen has been going strong for over a year.
The food and service here are very good. I typically opt for the veggie plate (delicious mac and cheese and greens), but I'm also a fan of the white-meat fried chicken, and I have a friend who swears by the pot roast. The deserts are definitely a weak spot--the banana pudding tastes instant and the chess pie wasn't very good either. But you go here for the entrees, not the deserts, so that's forgivable.
As many have noted, the restaurant has a positive social message, which makes it easier to tolerate the high prices for what is, in essence, extremely cheap Southern soul food (I grew up on these delicious artery-clogging recipes, so I feel that I can say this with some authority). This type of food is neither difficult nor expensive to make. But, since I'm not making it at home and this place does a good job of it, I'll have to put myself down as a fan. I would recommend going here for lunch rather than dinner because the lunch prices are cheaper and the portion-sizes for both meals seem to be about the same.
