    We dine at King Street every couple of months and are always pleased with the food, service, and prices. It is good value for the money.

    Happy hour is great. Oysters for a buck? Yes please. Cocktails are average. Food is decent not great. The blue cheese chips are awesome though. Jambalaya was pretty good. Other than happy hour a tad overpriced. I’d give it 3,5 if I could. Won’t crave it but would be fine going again if friends wanted to.

    Normally love their food. The Avo mash comes with Salmon. We had two orders and they were both missing this item. We would have conveyed with our Server, but she was no where to be found. Our guest ordered a side of toast. Server didn’t bother mentioning food comes with toast. All in all service was so beyond lackluster that I do not think we have the desire to return

    We love the idea of the happy hour and there are great deals with good food and drinks. But it was so loud we could barely talk and the poor waiter had to keep apologizing for the delay in getting the food and drinks.

    Went for Mother's Day, were seated promptly, and our server was with us in a flash. The meal was delicious and service, even on a busy day, was very good. We had oysters and fully-loaded Bloody Mary's to start. We are picky about our seafood, but the oysters were amazing (both the raw and the fried one in our Bloody Mary). Rest of the meal was equally memorable, lobster club salad and fried oyster plates were all great follow-ups to our oysters. Lobster salad had big chunks of flavorful lobster and the fried oysters were delicious! Definitely recommend, and we will be going back.
