King's Kitchen

Can't believe I've passed by this place no fewer than 50x in almost a half decade for work and never knew it was there. I got the dressing with okra and mac and cheese with a slice of red velvet. Everything, from the cornbread to the gravy on the dressing, was delicious. I really can't remember the last time I had such a good meat and three. For everything with tax, I paid about $18. It was a little pricy, but the portions were good and the employees were all nice even though it was lunch hour and they were jam-packed. Definitely can't come here all the time, but I know where I'll get lunch when heading back to the office in Bham from now on!

We discovered this awesome restaurant a couple of weeks ago- we own a window tint shop on Skyland and it's so easy to order lunch online and go pick it up. They are always busy but I haven't had to wait to get my food. The food is AMAZING- it's well seasoned, the meat is always tender, and the portions are huge. I can eat twice from each meal I get there. PLEASE for the love of all things good, give this place a try. In a world plagued by a severe shortage of excellent meat 'n threes, this place is a gem!!!

This is some of the best southern food I’ve eaten in my entire life and the owners and staff are exceptionally friendly. I’ve been to this restaurant a few times in the past two months and I will tell you I am never disappointed I leave feeling full and happy if you want real authentic, southern cooked food made from scratch, you’ve made it to the right place kings kitchen!

The best kept secret soul food spot in Tuscaloosa! Hands down, some of the best food I've eaten out. Good down-home southern food fixed with love and without pork seasoning. My husband and I have dined here twice within a two week period, and we do not live in Tuscaloosa lol! Hamburger steak, gravy, fried okra, and authentic mac n cheese!! Delicious!! Fried catfish with no oil remnants, collard greens( delicious), yams.. I can't sing their praises enough! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Simple dining and very clean. You need to come see for yourself! We love this place!! And the desserts....goes without saying... To the King establishment, thank you for preparing such delicious food. Side note, they do have pork chop, prepared separately from the rest of their food. I don't eat pork, but my husband does, and he said they are beyond amazing.

Haven't personally eaten here yet. Picked up food quite often. When I hit my target weight, I will be cheating to test everything on the menu. And some restaurants seem "annoyed" by some to-go orders. This place is always hospitable and friendly. The food smells wonderful, and being Southern was what I grew up on. Maybe the reason I'm on my diet. The customers always seem to enjoy their meals, with some eating there daily or several times a week.

I was craving some fried chicken wings and decided to try King’s Kitchen for the very first time. These had to be some of the best chicken wings I have ever had. They were cooked perfectly and were fresh. I wish I had a menu so I could have called in, but these wings were worth the wait. I now have the menu, and I will be back to try the spaghetti!

Stopped in here on our way to Atlanta from Dallas. Lunch was A++. The chicken was in my Top 2 all-time. The greens were legit, and the green beans were good, too. There was an older woman running the show and she was as hospitable as you will find anywhere. 100% chance that we'll be back if we find ourselves in Tuscaloosa again. If you're in the area, skip the chain restaurants, go here instead.

Also, Go Dawgs!

Wow! We found this place on a road trip through Tuscaloosa and it was all so good! We recommend the baked chicken, catfish, chicken tenders, mac and cheese, fried okra, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans! Staff was very friendly and restaurant was clean.

I wanted to give this place a shout out for a really good first experience.

First time there, we ordered online about 20 minutes before close which is always risky. I had ordered a main that they had run out of. They went out of their way to make substitutions based on what they had left that was above and beyond what was expected.

The food was good. Everything tasted fresh and it had the home cooked, down home southern flavor you hope for when you go to a meat and three. My grandma wasn’t there in the kitchen, but someone’s grandma was.

Thanks. I will be back now that I have finally tried you guys.

Some of the best southern cooked food I have ever had, reminded me of my momma's cooking. Definitely will be coming back.

My wife and I LOVED this place! The food felt like home cooking, and the staff was friendly. My only regret was not coming to try this place sooner. We will absolutely be returning to enjoy again!

I've been hoping for a new meat and three to open in Tuscaloosa, and I was excited to try King's. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food was just as expected. Great Southern comfort food! I'll be back!

Great Food.... Excellent Customer Service....Pleasant Atmosphere! Very friendly owners!

Was glad to see they were open for Christmas.. Food was great. Staff was so nice.. Thank you guys.. Merry Christmas

I enjoyed the food,atmosphere and my friends. We ate after church this past Sunday and half of the proceeds went to breast cancer awareness research/studies etc. I had the fried chicken, mac- n-cheese,sweet potatoes, dressing and collard greens which meals are fixed hot time you order which I love! This was my first visit but I will definitely be back! 😄

Great experience, nice staff, food was great... truly a gem to find

Love this place!!! Friendliest staff ever! Collard greens.. amazing!! A MUST HAVE

Mr King is a true king of Tuscaloosa. Just from his brief communication while checking on us showed this man had a heart of gold! And to top everything off: EVERYTHING I have had has been delicious except the grilled pork chops. And he offered to bring me something else even after I had already eaten one of the 2. Please don't let that discourage you.... the menu has so many other great options.. Love the salads and how they are presented! My children love the baked spaghetti and corn! And those are just a few things we enjoy! Try it you won't regret it!

This place is delightful. When I walked in I was welcomed by smiling facing asking my how my day was. The owner and his wife greeting me and told me about how they opened this new “Mom and Pop” country restaurant.

When I stepped up to the counter I ordered the Southern Fried chicken tenders with fries and collard greens. When I say down they served me sweet tea, which in all honesty was the perfect amount of sweetness.

I was very happy with the size portions my chicken tenders came out crispy, thick, and juicy, with a light seasoning...a 5/5 My fries, I would have liked a little but crispy but where a nice potato bite for a 4/5. My greens where hot and very hearty, a easy 5/5. Seasoned up something proper.

Overall I was very pleased with my meal and will definitely be coming back now that I’m living the the Tuscaloosa area.

It's been about 2 years since we visited Kings kitchen, today I remembered why. 2 of us both ordered baked chicken with sides, we were asked if we wanted cornbread, rolls or hushpuppies. I was charged 50 cents for hush puppies. 55 cents with tax, I was told included with meals. The cashier refused to remove the overcharges and stated they charge for bread, I know that isn't true, only one of our orders was charged extra. My cornbread had to be leftovers, dry and hard, even the collard juice wouldn't soak into it. One plate of baked chicken was good the other plate chicken was overcooked and dry.
Won't be back.
