The consistency of their brisket is what most impresses me, amazing how they get it so perfectly tender every time. Our friends love their wings and veggie burgers.

Everyone has a bad day. This was theirs…read more My wife wants me to point out that her meal of pulled pork was fine and that we've eaten there for years. Yesterday (Saturday) I ordered pulled chicken, pit beans, and cornbread with the coleslaw on the side. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and was famished. The pulled chicken was tough, dried out, and chewy, I tried saturating it in barbecue sauce but that didn't help. I ate it one piece at a time with lots of chewing to soften it up. I made it three quarters of the way through before surrendering. The coleslaw was fine. Then I tried the pit beans. The use of pit here is a misnomer, unless they're named after the pits of Hell. The old recipe was a spicy version of classic New England baked beans. Now I love beans. Beans and eggs for breakfast. Beans and franks for supper on a Saturday night or at a church supper. The side of baked beans that was an integral part of a Full English or Full Irish Breakfast was a welcome part of many business trips. Pit beans are not those beans. No, these are a different species of beans. Whereas normal beans are soaked in water to soften them up as a normal part of preparation, pit beans seem to be soaked in vinegar. I certainly don't mind vinegar (a mild solution of acetic acid), especially in a good vinaigrette salad dressing, but this level of acidity was sufficient to remove rust. Trying to eat these beans was like trying to ingest sulfuric acid. I had one taste. Nope. The cornbread was fine. This is northern-style corn bread, made with sugar. If you mix the sweet barbecue sauce and spicy barbecue sauce in a fifty-fifty ratio you get a decent I informed the truck manager of my results and suggested execution for whoever came up with the recipe. He was not amused.

Despite what I have read in other reviews recently, I have to disagree about both the service and…read morethe quality of the burgers. My partner and I made a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday night, needing to attend a concert nearby at 8:00PM. Our server, Joey M., came right to the table and was apprised of our need to leave by 7:45. A&B Burgers was packed that night, so this was a good test of service. Joey brought our drinks within 10 minutes of taking the order and then took our burger order. It took about 25 minutes to arrive, and with a leisurely meal, we were able to depart at exactly 7:45 as requested. The burgers are definitely as good as I remembered when they first opened. My partner had the Nick's BBQ burger and I had the Black and Blue burger. Both were excellent: the Carolina BBQ sauce was tart rather than sweet, and the black and blue with onion crisps and bacon had just the right amount of blue cheese flavoring. The "hand-held" burger was just right for eating, neither overstuffed nor just too thin. I had the sea salt fries (good but not distinguished) and my partner had the side salad with a vinaigrette that sadly for her was balsamic and thick, although I loved it. We passed on dessert (not enough time). We each had the 9oz Black Stallion Cabernet ($21/glass) and it was good but overpriced for the quality. We walked out feeling that we had enjoyed a good pre-theatre meal for $100 including a tip. We were not able to stay for the music, but the one song we heard was promising had we stayed. We would return with reasonable expectations.

Our Restaurant Week experience at A&B Burgers was extremely disappointing. The el fresco seating…read morewas pleasant and I had a delicious glass of wine but that was about it. The homemade chips came with a French onion dip that was inedible, and the potatoes were initially undercooked. We sent them back, only to have them returned overcooked and hard, although at least crispy. The burger had a very gamey taste and the pasta was bland and tasteless, with the pasta itself overcooked. The only thing that was remotely enjoyable was the crème brûlée--but even that was an incredibly tiny portion, barely 1/4 inch thick, and it didn't even have the crispy caramelized top you'd expect. For a Restaurant Week menu, this was a huge disappointment. Terrible food, poor execution, and absolutely not an experience I would recommend. This is unfortunate because we used to love this restaurant.

It's not the largest but does prevent you from having to park on the main road. They have a massive menu, with everything from subs, wraps, calzones, and pizzas, to salads, seafood, pastas, and of course the roast beef sandwiches. Being relatively new to the North Shore, I knew I had to try their version of the regional favorite roast beef. I will spare you the history of the "North Shore Beef" but I ordered their regular roast beef on a grilled sesame bun. I felt like it had a good amount of beef on it, considering the price, and good flavor. There was a cup of the classic James River BBQ sauce on the side. It was fine, I don't know enough about the North Shore beefs to say where it stands in the pantheon of best in the area. That being said, it got the job done. A side order of onions rings were similarly okay, not the best I've had but not the worst either. With such a vast menu, there's something for everyone at King's.

The slice looked good and was huge, but with no undercarriage and flop it tasted generic. The beef looked promising, with a "hole" in the middle of the beef to allow James River to pool for super flavor. The disappointing part? The beef was lukewarm warm in the middle. Unfortunate. The servers were very friendly and the ambiance was that of a classic pizza parlor place in New England.
