| - King's Kitchen has restored a little of my faith in humanity. If there were more places like King's Kitchen, the world would be a better place!
You've heard the rumors, and they're all true. The King's Kitchen is a non-profit restaurant that has good food, good business model, and it benefits the local community. Job training program combines with feeding the hungy. Excellent customer service, and well executed food don't hurt either. All for a reasonable price. And the ambiance is clean and casually upscale. Jeans would fit in and so would suits. Plasma TVs on mute keep is a little casual, as do the servers in jeans.
First, our waiter (who had a very unique name that is escaping me but he was awesome) was informative, friendly, and funny. He explained the mission of the restaurant and made some recommendations that were all excellent.
APPS
Deviled eggs were pretty standard but an excellent way to start the meal. Cornbread was phenomenal! I hauled this cornbread back to Washington DC to eat it, it was that good. The biscuits are also stellar, but I'm a cornbread girl.
MAIN COURSE
Pan fried chicken. Although I do like the crispiness of deep fried chicken, this pan fried one was well seasoned, moist and tasty. Mac n cheese was a little too creamy, but was devoured before anything else on the plate. Greens were good. My companions heartily enjoyed their oxtail and potroast.
Beer and wine selection was excellent (I got a pint of Fat Tire, and there were some tempting wines on the list too)
DESSERT
I don't really like bananas. And I don't really like pudding. But their banana pudding was pretty tasty!
Overall, I had good food and a wonderful time at King's Kitchen without breaking the bank. Now just open a branch in DC!
