Soul Food Restaurants near Burien, WA

“This place is a great deal, and is generous with the portions. It's also a really comfortable nice space, but the recipes could use some work.

Highlights:
- Generous portions, great prices.
- Hollandaise sauce on the Benedict was perfect.
- The omelette was great (a little heavy on the jalapeño)
- The booths are comfy, and there are a ton of decorations.

Avoid:
- biscuits and waffles were meh. Very bready, not the right texture
- gravy needs some love
- hash browns tasted like shrimp, so they might be cooking those on the same griddle. Be careful if you have a shellfish allergy 🦐⚠️

We'll definitely be back, and I'll update if it gets better.

“Drove an hour just to grab a pound of catfish and I'm never disappointed! Being from the South my expectations are set high and Jackson's delivers!! Thanks for great food and excellent service 😊“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Yum! I picked up a rib plate with mac and cheese and beans and rice on the side. Generous portions of everything and very, very tasty. Will definitely be back to check out the rest of the menu! They have different specials throughout the week.“

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

“Great atmosphere with urban setting“

“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!“

“The food was delicious and the servings were ample. They have a Mom and Pop feel with a really great menu.“
