Every time I work in Kinston, I swing by for the special. First of all, I noticed they changed their hours again and reopened on Monday’s. I always go thru drive thru. On the first day I had beef tips over rice which is listed as a special 3x in a week. I do wish they had more variety in the special of the day. I tried the bone-out fried chicken breast and it was just ok. I couldn’t understand why such a term was used on a menu. Either it’s cooked on the bone or you buy a boneless filet. Not sure why the felt the need to give you the same breast and just pull the bone off for you as if I’m not capable of doing that. Must be a local term. They serve the best homemade creamed potatoes and the cabbage always seasoned well. The side portions should be larger. I didn’t give 5 stars for service because the cashier forgot to give me my drink and I had to return to the restaurant.
Went through the drive-thru when passing through the city. The food tastes great, real soul food, but be courteous and a little patient (not everyone is local and we might have questions about the menu). We had chicken (dark) & gizzards, greens, dirty rice, snap beans, tater tots. The chicken was great just baby size and I can't tell you how good the gizzards were (you have to try them). Food wasn't greasy, tots crispy and hot, veggies were seasoned nicely too. Will definitely stop by again and try some BBQ (hope grilled chicken is on the menu, I don't remember seeing it).
No frills bbq place. Place order at counter, cash only, they bring it to your table. Generous portions. A bowl of Brunswick stew is a pint container. Bbq is very tasty, not too vinegary. Hush puppies are great.
The BBQ chicken and pork is really good well worth the trip from Jacksonville. Had the collard greens which is wonderful and i highly recommend it. Friendly staff and got our food really fast. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is the banana pudding. It is really creamy. But if you like it that way you will love this place. Will be back again.
I had the beef tip special it came with beef tips over rice and two sides and hush puppies and a drink for a great price it was delicious I'll be back

A Terrific Meal!
I drove through today, about 1:30pm, I think. I've never been to a King's BBQ before, and rarely eat pork (I eat Texas beef bbq... confused this pork had great flavor, but no red sauce! Ha!)
My receipt says Kristin B, but not sure if that's who so kindly helped me with my Pig in a Pup combo order... which we decided to have slaw on the side, and was a great end result. I had potato salad on the side with hush puppies. And went with the default sweet tea... I normally drink regular iced tea... the kind without sugar. She could have been exasperated, but instead was really helpful.
Amused that the slaw was diced, the h.puppies were white corn, and the pork wasn't sauced... all part of the experience, and not in a bad way, at all. I enjoy trying different local specialties.
The sandwich was terrific! It was a really great stop on my trip. The sweat (with tea) lasted 5hours... a little dab 'll do ya!
I'm really glad I stopped... and even shared this photo with multiple family members, states away.
One the first places I go to eat while I am on vacation. Look forward to it every year. Always the best!
Loved the bbq sandwich with sides order of yams and hush puppies. A lot of different side dishes to choose from.
The man that was taking my order was very rushy and snappy in the drive thru. Then when I got to the window I could see him peeping at me around the lady that was servicing me.
It was very busy. We got our order in a timely manner. The staff is very friendly.
Yall let me tell you!!! Best place ever! Service is amazing the lady was so helpful with making sure we got the best deal for our group of 7! Which we we feed for under $50 and the food was amazing! It's not often you find such a good deal and good quality so if your in Kinston this is the place to stop by!
