Stayed in Kinston for one month for work and loved kings. Love the sweet tea and the beef tips and gravy. Also enjoyed fresh Fridays though not my fave fish. But this beef tips were amazing. And the greens and yams were good too. I will say I feel like this location was a bit slow but I guess it just depends what time you went. I didn't like the banana pudding. Idk it just wasn't doing it for me. But overall liked kings wish I had tried the other locations.

The BBQ was tender, but seasoned with too much vinegar for my taste. The cole slaw was fresh, comparable in taste with other eastern NC BBQ restaurants. Yea was VERY sweet, well made, and improved when I added unsweet to it. BBQ chicken was so-so in flavor, made with a bottled sauce. Bathroom: B -- Heavy wear, some disrepair, smelled clean.

I am speaking for drive thru only. We got there about 15 mins before closing, didn't realize they closed at 8:30pm. However, that did not cause for them to treat us any differently, the lady that took our order was very kind and patience as we figured out what we wanted. We ordered: 4 piece dark fried chickenTwo sides: potato salad and green beansComes with hushpuppies Everything was hot and fresh (yes, even 15 mins before closing). Everyone had on a mask that came to the window.

I figured this would be a hole in the wall that had delicious food.... I saw the food network had mentioned it. I was excited to try. This is the smaller location with a drive thru but we went in to eat. Never in my life have a seen a filthier place. The rating was 95.5 but I can't see how. The bathrooms were disgusting, tables greasy and booths had ripped vinyl. Super rude people taking our order. The inside seems to be a hangout for regulars who were laying in the booths and talking. The food came. The person who brought our food was much friendlier. The bbq chicken was amazing, great potato salad..... but then it happened. A cockroach crawled across the table. And. I. Was. Done. Don't. Stop. Here. And I love bbq. Like love it. It this isn't worth it. I need a shower now.

No frills bbq place. Place order at counter, cash only, they bring it to your table. Generous portions. A bowl of Brunswick stew is a pint container. Bbq is very tasty, not too vinegary. Hush puppies are great.

Terrible place. Hours posted don't reflect actual hours. I've been there 3 times and twice it's been closed with no explanation posted. This past week we attempted to have a 12-16 person party, but after waiting for 30 minutes with no one ever opening. We left! Won't come back.

During the Pandemic time, something tried and true is what we crave. An old school eastern NC barbecue house with most of the dishes you expect. I had fried oysters and barbecued pork. Both were very good and the cole slaw although finely chopped was not so full of mustard. Kinston has quite alot to choose from and King's is still a good value.

Great food! Visited NC and stopped in Kinston and found King's. Had the small bbq plate special with collards and yams. Food was outstanding. The two veggies added to the great taste of the bbq. Highly recommend it.
