The Dalton is an outstanding addition to downtown King! I stopped in for a lunch meeting and our server was the best. The place was really busy and at no point did I feel like she forgot about us. The best part? The food was great! My chicken wrap was sooooo yummy and my coworker ordered the Lasagna special. The space is also super cool - highly recommend! read more

This was my second visit to The Dalton Restaurant, and regrettably, it will likely be my last. My previous experience was underwhelming, but I decided to give the restaurant another opportunity in hopes that it had improved. Unfortunately, this visit fell even shorter of expectations. The food quality was particularly disappointing. The Cajun shrimp Alfredo was excessively heavy and resulted in immediate discomfort, lacking the balance and flavor one would expect from such a dish. The addition of bacon to the dish was a clear misstep, overwhelming the other flavors and contributing to an already overly rich and unbalanced meal. The croissants were equally unsatisfactory--dense, chewy, and overbaked, with a texture and taste suggesting they had not risen properly. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal was the side salad, which, while fresh, should not have been the most enjoyable component of the dining experience. Overall, I left feeling quite disappointed. Given that both of my visits have resulted in similarly negative experiences, I find it difficult to justify returning. read more

I came in with a friend for dinner. This place has a classy vibe right off the bat. It was packed but bustling and well organized. The service (Natalia) was awesome, as were the host staff. I ordered the poke tuna appetizer, and my friend declined to eat it, which is fine by me because it was delicious. Stacked layers of poke tuna and quaxamole with sriracha on the plate with somecrispy fried tortilla chips to scoop with. It was the best food I ate there. I also ordered a main street burger (douvle amash) and onion rings. Decent Burger, but just didn't have the thing that would have made it amazing. The onion rings were hard and bland. Meh My friend had some komd of fish, mashed potato and carrot which he said was pretty good. Overall, I'd come back and try something else. I'm told the chicken sandwich is good. read more

Order was ready when I arrived. Meatloaf could have been cooked a little longer but was good anyway. Potatoes were tasty but didn't taste the garlic and carrots was very good. Will try again some other items. read more

Service was great, they are patient, friendly, respectful. Cute, quaint little atmosphere. The food was outstanding. Great flavors all around! Poke tuna, blackened chicken and chowder were perfect. Croissants are a nice touch, simple and sweet. Roasted beet salad needs more beets ironically enough. Fried chicken is a solid choice! I'm picky about my chicken sammiches read more

This was a quant cool spot for a bite with friends. Located in downtown King. It was busy on Saturday night so keep that in mind. Good menu serving up different options from gourmet salads to steak dishes and burgers. I ordered a porter on draft and was pleased to see they offer good local beers like FIDDLE AND FISH. I'm a huge beet fan so I ordered their roasted beet salad and added grilled chicken. I loved it! My husband said they make a good burger too. I tasted my friends old fashion so I can say they know how to make a cocktail well. They even added a strip of bacon to her drink which she said was a nice touch. Yes, it's a good place and I would come back for sure. read more

We got invited out to dinner by some friends who suggested this restaurant. They had been here several times, but this was our first experience. I like converted buildings and can't say what this was, but the inside was very charming. We were promptly seated at a table and were taken care of that evening by our server, Addison. Addison always checked in with us and was extremely friendly. I ordered The Bird, a pretty good chicken sandwich, and then a side salad, again, a pretty good salad. My wife got the beet salad with some chicken and said she loved it. I would like to try something else the next time, but overall I think this rates five stars in my opinon. read more

I normally don't comment on local eating establishments but for the price I paid for two ribeyes at The Dalton it was very underwhelming. My foreign exchange student from Japan left ¼ of his for the same reason I'm commenting. So paid almost $100 for a bland medium 12oz tuff ribeye. Wasn't a good cut at all with it being tuff and gristle throughout it. The mashed potatoes were half mashed and the asparagus was well undercooked. My exchange student's medium 12oz was the same and he left ¼ for being too tuff as well, he said the best part were the French fries and that the Wendy's hamburger from lunch had more taste to it. This was my first time eating there and probably my last. read more

Looking for a unique place in the Winston-Salem area. Had heard King, NC had a nice steak house. When we got there, tried unsuccessfully to get seats at the bar. So, went across the street to The Dalton Bar And Grill! It was a home run. Sat at bar, which was attended by two well experienced bartenders. Started with the Poke Tuna appetizer with fried wontons. It was large enough to be a small entrée and the fried wontons were perfect. For dinner we split a skirt steak with asparagus. A little concerned it would be tender but melted in the mouth. The asparagus was HUGE but cooked perfect. I'm almost leery of posting this because I don't want a million people going to King. read more

Love the small dining area and atmosphere. The service was good and the food was also good, but not outstanding. I ordered the salmon and it was cooked perfectly, but presentation lacked, being served upside down with the brown underbelly showing. Details matter! My husband had the chicken Parmesan and the chicken was a little overcooked and the pasta could have used more marinara. But he did love the garlic breadsticks! We will go back and try another dish. read more

My last visit was sadly disappointing. I previously loved how they prepared their salmon. This last visit, they asked how I would prefer it to be cooked. Never had that asked before. The food was very salty. My niece had the burger, and it too was very salty. I was sad to experience this, as it was so good when they first opened. read more

The first time we visited the Dalton, the food was okay but my husband's salad had a stink bug in it. The second time we visited, the food was not good. read more

We've been watching and waiting for this gem to open. Located in downtown King! Love the restoration of this old building; such a comfortable atmosphere. Just a really cool, chill vibe. The place is clean and friendly staffed. The owner is super nice and down to earth, too. He made it a point to be seen and speak to his customers. I like that. Tonight, my husband and I made it a point to have a date night and try them out! I had the Buffalo Chicken Soup (chef's choice- soups change daily) SO good!! It was hot (temp hot, I hate warm soup) the chicken was tender with great flavor and the perfect amount of cheese. I also tried the Roasted Beet Salad with balsamic glaze. Very filling and very delicious. That Lavender Lemon Martini was on point, too! My husband had The Bird, a fried chicken sandwich with slaw and pickles. Very tasty and a great sized sandwich. Mashed potatoes on the side, he only wishes he had more! The potatoes were that good! He loved that they had Red Oak on tap. So, so happy to have finally tried The Dalton and we will definitely be stopping in again soon. read more

Food 5 stars Service 4 stars Ambiance 5 stars Ambience Very nice to see this old building showcasing its glory. I would guess the restaurant owner is not new to running a business.

Great food & excellent service! Only complaint was we ordered things that they were sold out of.

Music was loud and probably not the taste of majority of the clients. Service was really great. Food was ok. Very bland and no seasoning as other customers have noted. Clean. Simple menu. Croissants were a nice touch. I'll come back and try something else. I'll add photos shortly. Also why do the Elite always say everything is amazing? That is not helpful to the owners or the diners. Just saying. I'm giving 4 stars out of grace, allowing for growth. If they don't improve, they will be a solid 3. read more

The Dalton has a perfect atmosphere for a downtown dining experience! Chef Ethan is putting great food that we've all been looking for in the King, NC area. This allows to spend our money in King, NC and Stokes County, NC and not have to drive to other cities and spend our money! The Dalton is hometown people investing in our community to make it what we know it can be and it's working!!! I HIGHLY ADVISE ANYONE TO GO EAT AT The Dalton!!! Excellent food experience!!! read more

The food was great! Service wonderful! We will return! Just happened to see when getting up from our table, a man in the kitchen with shoulder length hair flowing freely under his ball cap. I'm sorry...just because you put a ball cap on doesn't mean you don't have any fly aways! Please either pull it back in a pony or use that dreaded hairnet!! All the other guys in the prepping, cooking area had nice cuts with ball caps, good job! Please address this issue. Thanks read more

The service was great! They were friendly and helpful. The food was terrible. The tuna had a stored and preformed texture with mushy avocado. The salmon had no flavor and was hard and tasted like it was cooked one day and served the next. The rice definitely came out of the microwave with a rubbery texture, like a rice pack. The steak didn't seem to hit a pan and also had a cooked one day served the next texture and flavor. The food came out too quickly for anything to have been fresh. There was zero seasoning on anything we ordered. The restaurant was clean. The price was outrageous for the quality. read more

Great food, wonderful atmosphere. Love the bar area. The location is small town King, NC.

Your dishwasher Brody Hill is a very bad worker and he said a bad word. I know him very well and while he was working, he called me a very offensive term and I took it to heart. Other than that, the food was pretty good and your cook Jaxson Harkness is a very good worker and I'd say he deserves a raise. read more

Very excited to have a nice, new restaurant come to King! Perfect for a lunch with friends or a nice date night. All of the staff were very friendly & we had great service. Our favorite tastes so far were the espresso martini and the crunchy salty French fries. Hubs ordered filet, and I got shrimp Alfredo. Can't wait to try them out for lunch! My only recommendation at this point would be maybe candles / dimmers to enhance the ambiance as the overheads were a little harsh and bright and didn't really fit the vibe (as another reviewer mentioned). But overall 5 stars for King & we will continue to support this new business! read more

Great addition to King. Good food and friendly service and decent prices. Great atmosphere and good location

Best place to eat in king- something different every day on their specials menu. Highly recommend!!

Wife and I went in for cocktails and an appetizer. We had the poke bowl and crab cakes as appetizers along with a martini and a Stokes Mule for cocktails. The guacamole in the poke bowl was brown. The crab cakes were ok. The cocktails were pretty weak on the alcohol. We cashed out at that point and decided not to stay for dinner. Perhaps we just caught them on an off day. All of my friends who have been really enjoyed their experiences read more

We were delighted with our experience at The Dalton today. The welcoming ambience of well aged wood floors with blue leather seating set up for relative privacy created anticipation. All three of our party ordered filet mignon which was cooked to perfection for each of us. We also shared honey coated carrots (just the right touch of honey) and sautéed squash.(tasty; sliced thin but not mushy) One of our party, a self declared soup snob, gave the seafood chowder an "A". The side salad was fresh and full of a variety of veggies. All of this accompanied great service. We will definitely make the trip back! read more

First visit. Very clean and bright, looked inviting right from the start. Our server, Addison, was very kind and helpful. We both ordered Bloody Marys while we looked over the menu. They looked pretty plain, none of the usual garnishes you usually see but they tasted great. For lunch, my wife had the fried seafood platter and I had chicken Parmesan. The food was good all around, but a few issues. Neither meal was especially hot, more between luke and medium warm. The chicken Parmesan was set on a very large bed of cavatelli with sauce. Very tasty but that was a LOT of pasta. I was thinking if they substituted maybe 1/4-1/3 of the plate to some sautéed broccoli or other vegetable it wouldn't be quite so heavy. Not a knock on the dish at all, just an observation. The seafood platter was very nice, shrimp and pieces of cod were delicious (my wife kindly let me sample it). Lastly, my wife decided to have a second Bloody Mary. Oddly, this came in a larger glass, with the garnishes we would have thought came with it-olives, lime wedge, etc. Also tasted great but the difference was puzzling, as even our server remarked that it was prettier than the prior one. All in all, a very pleasant experience and we'll be back again. Without the few issues I mentioned, this could easily have been a five star review. read more

When someone orders 2 plates to-go bring them out at the same time in to-go plates. My husband had to wait 15 min while they made the other to-go plate they forgot. In the mean time the breaded chicken Marsala sat there and was not worth eating. My dog was happy. Next time offer to make them both at same time so they are both hot or offer a discount. He also said the bartender assured him she had plenty of experience so I guess it was his fault she forgot the order. The pork chops we had to share tasted ok but I would avoid the wild rice . read more
