King’s Kitchen Breakfast Bar & Scratch Kitchen

First off... this is a HIDDEN GEM on the downtown strip of Camden, South Carolina... The breakfast selections AND servings range from the best plates from Grandma's house to gut busting deliciousness from other big name eateries... I must admit.. I have been here before, and the food was good - but not to the point where I'd drive TWELVE city miles for it... on a regular basis... WelpYelp... let's just say - that will be changing - today I had the SHRIMP & GRITS and it was EVERYTHING... The grits perfectly cooked, seasoned with just the right amount of cheese and I DID NOT NEED TO ADD ANY SALT!! WHAT??? I feel like there was more than the typical 5 Shrimp you get at most places.. I lost count! I'm personally not a fan of the spicy Tasso gravy most places serve - so I was happy to see the meaty buttery sautéed goodness over my grits and It comes with the best piece of buttered toast I've had in a VERY long time!The owner Ms K, was so inviting and though the indoor seating is VERY limited & a few seats outside, Many of the regulars ordered to-go. The business is REgrowing fast & Ms K may be in a bigger spot soon - so call ahead to see about seats... Another impressive view.. customers came in looking for a seat, and asked for a recommendation to go elsewhere & Ms K - NAMED ANOTHER SMALL BUSINESS (with great classic breakfast), and gave directions!! I absolutely loved that!! i will definitely make this drive more often & if you read this far - YOU SHOULD TOO!

I took my family from out of town here because of the reviews, and boy, did we have a horrible experience. The cashier/hostess was so rude right from the beginning. She stood and watched as an elderly man with a cane struggled to get in the door to inform them that he still had not received his OJ. I had to help him in and out of the restaurant while she did nothing. I suspect that he had not received his drink because the waitress was so inattentive. It took her 30 minutes to take our order and an hour to get our food. In total we sat in the hot sun batting flies away waiting for an hour and a half. However, there were tables and patrons inside the restaurant that came after us that were served first. At one point I went to the restroom and saw our food sitting on the line in front of the waitress while she was texting away. Once it got to the point that my baby was crying from hunger I had to go in and ask for my food then it magically appeared. It was so cold my older child didn't even want to eat it and later cried in the car. A table across from the kitchen told me that our food had been sitting on the line for more than 30 mins. And our order was VERY simple. SHAME on all the staff here. Attitudes adjustments and customer service training is needed all around.

Visiting our daughter and family and decided to have this as our celebratory lunch spot after our granddaughters pre-k graduation! Family operated and I did appreciate everyone was friendly, helpful and the owner/chef personally thanked us for the support! It's a rustic building under renovations with nearly no indoor dining but they have an expansive picnic table area and a couple tables right in front! The food was good! I ordered the corn beef hash with eggs n grits - the hash is straight out of a can but you can tell he did try to spruce it up a bit! The grits were creamy and rich and slightly salt forward! Hubby had the fish n grits and seem to enjoy!

So I've been waiting for them to be added to Yelp so I could review! I am so excited for this town to have such a great "Togo" food option. My kids are CONSTANTLY asking to go back and the food was amazing! Pictures do NOT do it justice! I had the shrimp n grits, the girls had smothered French toast (I don't think that's what they call it, but they should ), and the boy had pancakes. Everything was great! Super hot, large portions, wonderful portions. Just know this place is to go. They have 2 tables inside but it is crowded inside. We were aware of this and expected it so no disappointment there. The food, service, and portion sizes were all top notch! We will most definitely return!!

Really good and very friendly staff. Stopped in for brunch then a short walk through the farmers market next door. Food was very good and I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu next time.

They have fantastic customer service, and our food was delicious. We had the shrimp and grits, whiting and grits, and the pancake combo.

Great food. Very friendly and respectful service. Clean environment. Bernetha Thompson Andrews, SC

Everything is amazing! The owners are very nice people. Food is always fresh. My personal favorite is the French toast and shrimp and grits.

Delicious food served with love and pride Everything tasted fresh and never tasted a better biscuit than from here! A classic in Camden & worth a stop every time

Hands down the BEST breakfast I've had in Camden,SC!! Delicious! Everything was hot and fresh. This is my new Saturday breakfast spot! Get up early and support this small business.
