1st disappointing meal in years. My fried flounder had obviously sat under a warming light for…read morequite some time before it was served. It was dried out and tough. My fried shrimp was only warming, not hot. Best part of my meal were the hush puppies and cole slaw. I hate to post a negative review but the quality was definitely off on my visit. Unfortunately I'm only in the area once year; I hope next years visit will be more like my previous ones.

Really good food! We met friends half way between our house and Raleigh at this place.... My…read morehusband had the fried shrimp and french fries. He said it was very good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. My girlfriend and I shared the Rangoon, eggrolls, onion rings, and grilled shrimp and everything was awesome.. her husband had the catfish and french fries and it was a very good serving size and he said it was very good!!!! The owners were very accommodating, letting us sit and chat for over an hour!!! if it was closer we would definitely go back because I would really want to try their Boils!!!!

I visited the Vernon Ave location on May 8th at which time I ordered a fish (trout) and barbecue…read morecombo for $19.20. When I received my order the plate was so light I thought they handed me the wrong order. I looked at the plate and there was this thin hard cooked half fish and a little bit of barbecue in a very small styrofoam container. There was also 4 overcooked hush puppies and a dab of potato salad and green beans. I'll admit it's been a long while since I've been there but I am familiar with their fish and barbecue plates because I use to get them for my mother atleast 2x a month on Fridays. The lady at the drive through was very nice when I commented about the plate and she took it and told me to drive up. As I sat in the car I thought if this is the quality of food they are serving nowadays it's not going to get better so I went in the resturant and requested a refund. The man who prepared my plate wanted to know what was wrong with it. I told him the amount of food and quality of the food was not pleasing. When I said it looked like a toddler plate with a dab of barbecue and fish on it he said that's the size of a combo plate. I told him that I beg the difference because I use to order this plate for my mother and he then said, I've been here for 13 years and it's been this way. I told him to give me my money back because we are not going to agree on this one. My point is the same plate use to cost $12.99 atleast 7 years ago, however; I expected a price increase because that's the world we live in now. What I didn't expect was such a poor quantity and quality of food. Had the plate been of the same quantity and quality it use to be nothing would have been said. I was given a refund without any issues. Resturants really need to rethink their approach to the pressures of rising prices because if you think it is okay to jack up prices and pass on garbage to customers you're in trouble. I did what I should have done in the first place I went home and cooked my salmon. Bye Kings!

Loved that we didn't need a reservation and there wasn't a long wait (the things we are accustomed to in the DMV). Our server greeted us and took our drink and appetizer orders. It was an unseasonably hot day so we ordered a strawberry margarita and white sangria. For appetizers, we got tempura brussels sprouts and bulgogi fries. The drinks and food were fresh and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by the serving sizes. My daughter (who is extremely picky) said the margarita was one of the best she'd had. It was her first time trying bulgogi so I was a little nervous, but she absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts. Appreciated the great service and attention. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town.
