“Great place to eat“

“Great service.“

“Thank you to the staff at Kings! They made an accommodation for my son who has food sensory. As door dash limits your options I asked if he could have hushpuppies in place of another side as he steals all of mine and his siblings ☺️ he devoured it and only left a few fries!“

“WE DEFINITELY ENJOY HAVING THEM HERE AT ARCHIE'S AND THE BEST FOOD AROUND TOWN“

“When traveling to the NC coast recently I stopped for my first visit at Kings Restaurant in Kinston. I was first impressed with the atmosphere and history of this restaurant as soon as I walked into the front door. It was lunchtime on a weekday so it was pretty crowded as I had expected. However, I was seated very quickly by a friendly hostess and as soon as I was seated a waitress appeared with a glass of water and a menu. I was especially interested in sampling their barbecue so I ordered a small barbecue plate with sides of collards and friend okra. I also received hushpuppies. It was all very delicious. The barbecue was coarsely chopped, and the collards were seasoned (and contained small pieces) with country ham. Very impressed with my first visit and will definitely visit this restaurant the next time I travel in this area.“
