Soul Food Restaurants near Burien, WA

“Great friendly staff and the food is delicious! 👍😋 Could use more seasoning on catfish but other items like chicken and waffles or wings are seasoned to perfection! 💯🔥 Hours are unusual but make's it a spot you have to catch during the hours/days they are open ⏰🗓️“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“The catfish, fried pork chops, greens, Mac and cheese, and the sauce for the catfish were terrific! 10/10 recommend. I didn’t like the cabbage, sweet potatoes, red beans and rice since it wasn’t seasoned to MY LIKING. Oh, and the staff had anamzing customer service.“

“Nothing but love for a local chicken joint with nothing but love for me and mine. ❤️ fantastic atmosphere, good music, good food! Try the honey butter biscuit fried chicken sandwich, with some hot sauce, your soul will thank you. Much love to all of the staff there, y'all have saved my behind and fed my soul, more than I care to admit.“

“Food was great! Service just as good. We got most of the sides and they were yummy, best greens we have ever had!“

“Oh my goodness this food is so well seasoned. I could just eat the red beans and rice alone. This is the first time I’ve eaten here since the start of COVID. They have changed the inside from what I remember, it’s smaller. But, the food was great.“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“TOP SECRET SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM: You would never know that this little deli/convenience store tucked away in the Central District sells delicious soft serve ice cream in the summertime. These are your standard, no-fuss soft serve, and I love them. Creamy and light texture, not overly sweet, and no hefty outrageous prices. I think they cost $4/cone. The size in the photo is a small which is plenty big enough for me.

I'm a bit of a soft serve junkie, and some of the places I've been to recently include Indigo Cow, The Pastry Project, MOTO Pizza, and Temple Pastries' new ice cream and sandwich shop (that opened on July 5, 2024) and had some of their strawberry sumac vegan soft serve. Out of all of them, I think King's Deli has the best b/c it's simple and unfussy. And the price can't be beat. The atmosphere is nothing special but that's OK by me.

One caveat, be sure to call them before you go just to make sure the soft serve machine is ON. Sometimes when I've stopped by they haven't turned the machine on yet, and I have to come back though in the summertime, it's usually on all the time.

It's a hot tip secret and I aim to change that ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids (& adults!) love soft serve ice cream!“
