Check out her interviews on social media. My initial visit didn't disappoint. After placing my order waiting for my takeout out order, I enjoyed the old 70's soul music I grew up on from the loud speaker and reminiscing old times. The service and food are awesome with amazing prices. Some places are charging premium for soul food now. My pork chops were perfect and gave me an extra one for no charge. The side were really good too. High five to this old school vibe place. Plenty of street parking on this quiet road and will definitely come again. They are only open four days per week.

The food is absolutely delicious. My favorite Sunday special is the chicken and dressing. Yummy.read more

Someone brought their wings to a pitch in. Never being a fan of wings, I thought I would try them…read moreanyway. Much to my surprise I really liked them. Crunchy breading, juicy and tender inside. They were not spicey or dripping in any sauce, just regular breaded and I thought "I am going to have to go to this place soon" After doing some research I found that they have drive thru only for dinner hours. So I made my trip down Broadway to Chicken King and could not miss the big yellow sign nor the already 7 cars in the drive thru. Since this chicken has a otremendous fan base, I considered myself lucky to be #8 in line as others pulled behind me. The menu is packed full of items, so my first tip is to look up the menu online before you go...less pressure once you arrive...lol I ordered the 8 PC box (regular) for my husband, 3 PC tenders (that comes with 3 potato wedges) for myself and a medium peach cobbler to share. I was very disappointed that the tenders were not fresh nor freshly breaded. They were pressed and glued white meat formed into a tender. I actually only ate one, shared one with my dog and threw the last one away. The potato wedges were the star. I should have ordered more of those. My husband, who LOVES fried chicken was not impressed. He said KFC and Golden Corral has better. The peach cobbler was average. So, I am sorry to summarize our experience as not having a reason to return.

Restaurant is pizza/calzone-focused, plus some salads, soups, and quality apps. The by-the-slice option for lunch is great, but I struggle not to get a whole pie anyway...the bee sting is probably my favorite "hot" pizza choice in recent memory (honestly think it's the use of fresh peppers more than anything, you can just tell the difference). Strong selection of rotating local brews. Order at the counter, no table service, but the staff is helpful and welcoming. Don't leave without stopping in the grocery. Lots of good stuff (cannot recall the cold brew brand they have there, but it's incredible), local meats and produce, teas, seasonings and sauces...lots of great and varying selections.

I'm new to the area. A coworker of mine who is great at suggesting restaurants brought me over to…read morethis place. The customer service was horrible! Shannon had an attitude from the beginning, but we brushed it off. Then we waited 55 minutes for his pizza and it never came out. He was the first to order before it got busy. Everyone else was served before him. Shannon, who took our order gave an attitude because we waited patiently while on lunch break. The fact that Shannon gave an attitude when he kindly asked for a refund was undefiled. I didn't even get the chance to eat my food because I was waiting for him to get his meal. The fact there was no communication even though I went up to ask for his pizza and was told it was coming and it never came! Better customer service on Shannon can definitely be better!

Royals is good, spicy food, served kindly and quickly. (It's a simple counter order and basic table…read moreservice kind of place. Not quite fast food, but nearly as fast and casual.) If you've not had Nashville-style Hot Chicken, Royals offers a great introduction and if you know what to expect, Royals delivers at a competitive level, in a city that has seen a fun history of competition in fried chicken. I recommend the X-Hot these days, but that's not where I started. Somewhat regular trips over many years have made that my goto favorite. (I have done the next and final heat level, Gonzo, once. I recall it was great. I plan to do it again. I save it as a cardio workout for the right sort of low other commitments weekend.) I recommend always checking out what the Sliders of the Month are. The monthly specials generally are quite special and have combined so many fun flavors over the years. Though my heart maybe belongs most of all to the Hot Fish, now no longer just a March special. It's hard for me to write about Royals without some form of nostalgia. This building is my neighborhood fast-ish food shop. It hasn't been Royals the whole time I've lived in the neighborhood, but it has made up for it with longevity in a block I've watched shift a lot around it. I miss some of the businesses that used to be on this block. i appreciate some of the new ones. It's been interesting watching Royals grow up into feeling like an anchor here. (I also still sometimes miss some of Royals original options like the hot tofu and some of their early sides, especially as someone who still ranks fried chicken places by their sides even this side of Yum Brands' Commonwealth-named chicken place also giving up on fresh veggies despite once advertising it never would. But Royals did recently graduate Hot Fish to the year-round menu to make it up to me, almost personally, so there are plenty of good changes as well over the years.) I look forward to how they grow and change in the future, and I hope they'll keep this block cool and with an easy spot for a neighbor like me to count on to catch a fast, spicy lunch or dinner.

Jeremy makes great $8 fashioneds and has a lot of knowledge about the area. Frankly, we preferred coming here for drinks versus the two speakeasies, which we found disappointing. We also ordered some bites, which were delicious bar food.

I only say that based on what I witnessed with a small group of young men.

There was a sink in my stall, and beautiful shadowbox artwork above the toilet. The hosts were very helpful navigating the place. They gave us an option to drink at the main floor bar, which seemed classy and had a stage for live music, or to go downstairs, which they said had more of a sport bar vibe. We chose the main floor bar because there were less people and we were helped right away. We got a couple drinks each and all were pretty good- no watered down drinks here! My favorite was the espresso martini. We also opted for the Doritos nachos which were pretty filling for an appetizer! The menu states it's for 3-4 people, but it was a good serving for just the two of us. It had Doritos, cheese, pickled onions, lime, jalapeños, and a mixture of beans and it was delicious. We overall spent about $70.

Was not a fan of the fries. They taste like there's sugar in the seasoning. They weren't bad, but I think they try to do too much with them. But the wings!!!!

Why wasn't this brought up before we paid! Also my fries were cold and when I mentioned it to the server, the cook walked back out and tried to insinuate that I was lying and ate most of them when it was impossible because they were put into an empty container! This was my first time coming here and it was a horrible experience. I will not return because even after speaking with the manager all he did was apologize but he didn't really take any action...yes maybe a free drink? But who cares about a free drink after they've spent $35 and got mediocre food! I cook better than this with my eyes closed. We really have to do better....sad :(

It's a cool little place, today decorated with a balloon arch, probably left from a special event. We were greeted by a young lady who escorted us to the bar to pay. 14.99 ea is a bargain! I'll try to remember everything they had. Spinach salad, cornbread, potato salad, slaw, pickles, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked beans, kielbasa and kraut, cooked cabbage, green beans, Mac n cheese. I'm probably forgetting something? Then the meats. Baked chicken, fried chicken, fried catfish and fried pork chops, beef vegetable soup. Whew!! All delicious!!! Loved every minute. They did have some cookies on the buffet. They didn't look homemade so my only disappointment is that I didn't order banana pudding or peach cobbler to go!! They don't always have the buffet so call ahead or just go and order off the menu!! Yummm!

My favorite is the parmesan and the lemon pepper. They also have some amazing, creative burgers that would convert vegan lol. Nothing can make a good meal bad or a mediocre meal great like service. I really think the waiters here understand that. They are always first class making the already delicious time even better! I wanted to keep this gem to myself because I love it so much. They don't have the biggest dining area. So i didn't want the word to get out and it becomes impossible to get a seat lol, I'm a nice guy though. Everyone in the area should definitely treat yourself to their good food, good service, decent bourbon and craft beer selection. Not to mention their all you can eat days!

The atmosphere is casual but super comfortable with a lot of natural light inside. We ordered a blackberry lemonade which was pretty good, not super strong blackberry flavor. The grilled cheese is amazing--such a great combination of sweet and savory and super cheesy. The dipping jam is the best part! The Mac and cheese is one of the best I've ever had. It's crunchy and has a good deep flavor. The chicken was pretty good--nothing crazy, but I expected it to be crispier. Collard greens were a good side to balance it a very carb-heavy meal. Prices are pretty reasonable. Overall had a great experience--will definitely be back for the Mac and grilled cheese!

I first came here because they had ballast point sculpin on tap. After they pulled back (ballast point) out of the east/mid west I was happy they replaced it with cigar city Jai Lai. Not sculpin but delicious as well. About 18 months ago maybe more they dropped Jai Lai and now they have 1 IPA on draft. The food was ok. Got the chicken sandwich. Lots of breading not lots of chicken. Didn't want the spicy mayo and asked for mustard, they don't have mustard. Who ever heard of a restaurant that doesn't have French's in a squeeze bottle. Bartender was nice and it's a great sized and pleasant environment just very disappointed in the ipa selection and the quality of the chicken vs the price. Friday evening and pretty sparse crowd. Good luck folks.
