I was impressed with their meal offering, selection and quality throughout - Skyline's service was attentive and warm - despite my wife bringing an issue to her that lacked clear communication. Later Neets spoke with the Head Server who assisted the situation and they "went good" on things. "It's nice to know that Kings stands-behind their food and their staff!

Kings is a very comfortable establishment. Everyone seemed like they had been doing the same things…read morethe same ways for a long time. The restaurant itself felt comfortable as well: the table tops were worn, the small booths felt worn, the decorative metal siding was oxidized, and even the plates and silverware seemed worn. This comfortable atmosphere also persisted with our meals. I tried the beef tips and they were OK after I added a pinch of salt. The portion was adequate but not especially generous. Likewise, my yams were not very sweet and served in an unusually dark sauce. The brunswick stew, which I paid an extra $1 for, had a strong smoky BBQ flavor but oddly had peas in it. While my sides were not very good, it just felt like they were the prepared the same way they had been prepared for many years. My dining companion enjoyed her grilled pork chop, noting that it was clearly cooked to order, but thought her string bean side was really mushy, seasoned poorly, and just not good. The basket of hush puppies was a complete and utter failure: cold, undercooked, greasy and flavorless. blah. Our server clearly enjoyed being comfortable too. Unfortunately, we needed refills on our beverages and the extra effort impacted her comfortableness. So sorry, not sorry. Kings seems like the sort of restaurant that meanders along until one day they realize they lost the qualities that made them successful in the first place years ago and they drift away into oblivion. There's a cost to being comfortable. Not recommended.

The restaurant was clean with beautiful decor inside, nice clean bathroom (a definite plus), and friendly staff that were happy to help! Bestie and I both ordered a Bird Dawg Club with pasta salad. Every layer of the Bird Dawg Club was fresh, crisp, and flavorful, making me want to go buy some Boar's Head deli meat the next time I'm at the store! The pasta salad was fresh as well with a nice Italian Vinaigrette. I got a Southern pecan bar for dessert which was ok but you know not everyone makes pecan pie bars to my likings. The Guinness Cream Cheese brownie really stole the show as it was warmed and I'm so glad my bestie shared a bite with me! We will be back the next time we are rolling through town!

I was visiting Kinston, NC for work and thought I'd try the local, regional flavor. So I visited a…read morelocal fast food chain, Cook Out, my first time ever at this chain. But I should have kept with the reliable Chick-fil-A's of the world. I had the grilled chkn sandwich--cheddar style. It was edible. The cheese, however, was liquid yellow cheese, not sliced cheddar. In fact, I didn't taste any cheddar at all. The chicken was a little tough. The bacon and grilled onions were the best part of the sandwich. My onion rings needed ketchup because they tasted like how restaurant kitchen dishwater smells, you know, that sort of musty, metallic/soapy smell. I had one by itself (yuk), then two with ketchup, then threw the last five rings away (btw: this was my double-order - 8 onion rings w/ heavy breading). As it turned out, 8 was 8 too many since they weren't very good. My vanilla milkshake was nothing more than soft serve "icy milk." There was no creamy consistency to it. It had that ice milk crystalline texture, even after it partially melted...like 60 minutes later. I know it's fast food, (and it was very fast), so my expectations were low to begin with. But I figured it would be better than this. On the upside, it was inexpensive, only $10.30. The service staff were nice enough and it was a very clean restaurant, hence the 2 star rating, but the food was definitely lacking. Just skip it, unless you need cheap food in a hurry and don't care what it tastes like. Or maybe, the other items are decent--I don't know? But I don't think I'll be giving this chain another chance.

The Smoked Sausage was good surprise, nice flavors and fulfilling. The onions didnt add much to the experience but they gave a nice crunch for added texture. The Nachos were the weakest part of the meal while definitely looking the part the cheese lacked a depth of flavor and consistency you would want out of this guilty pleasure. Overall the price is what makes this a four star establishment. The focus on takeout may leave a lot desired in ambience and atmosphere but the food is good and offers a ton of value if you just want a hot dog or are looking for another fast food spot for lunch.
