King of the Sea Seafood Restaurant

Best place all around Statesville for great seafood and steaks. I particularly love the chopped steak. Although their popcorn shrimp, salmon and other dishes are really good. Service here is always good and people are very friendly. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and clean and a great atmosphere for dinner. The house salads are a little lacking to me. It comes with tomato and onion on it but not cheese. I would like to see cheese as a regular topping (although they are happy to put cheese on it for you if you ask for it). Their hush puppies are amazing. Those old school small round hush puppies like we all grew up with at nice seafood restaurants.

I would say if you're looking for flavorful seafood, maybe give a different place a try. I ordered a large fry and the jumbo cocktail shrimp. This order was for pickup, so I wasn't expecting much from the fries, but I also wasn't expecting them to be bland and lukewarm. They had no salt, and tasted as though they had been sitting out for a while. For 6$, the value for product just wasn't there. The cocktail shrimp had zero seasoning and to be honest, you could get the cocktail shrimp out of a grocery store for cheaper with better taste. The shrimp also did not come packaged with the crackers as mentioned on the website, but the lemon helped a lot with the flavor. As far as the service, I didn't pick this order up, so I don't know what that experience was like. Over the phone when ordering, I asked for a side of vinegar since they told me that I could not order the KOTS fries (which have vinegar on them) for pickup. They said they did not have vinegar. Didn't make much sense, but I ordered the fries anyway. I could've done without them. Ultimately, I can't judge this restaurant off the two items that I purchased, as I'm sure they may have some good items on the menu; but due to the phone experience and the lack of seasoning of what I did order, I probably won't be back.

Good seafood nice staff and fair prices. Would highly recommend .Convenient located in Statesville north carolina

Huge servings and great prices Service is outstanding will go back soon . Looking forward to seeing them reopen soon

Greasy, tasteless options... I felt sick after. The service was ok, but they are expensive - for 6 adults, the bill was almost $200! Why pay that for a greasy fish camp. Yuck. Also, they add extra fees on your bill. Not very honest. Its all about the $$$

Food was not very good, breading fell off the scallops which were undercooked. The cake was good. Would not go back again

Good food, good service, informal atmosphere. Be careful of prices. Does not match website

They hosted my dad's 94th birthday party. Service, food and atmosphere were outstanding. Have eaten here many times and the service and food is amazing.

If it was open I might like it .....you don't find out until you pull into their parking lot that they are Closed for renovations.....someone should post that..
