King's Southern Delight: Reviews & Ratings
Was in the area so I decided to check out this spot before ending back to the Friendly staff! The turkey wings are very good. I really enjoyed it. The ribs are tendar, and seasoned well. I have eaten ribs from many spots before, but I must say the ribs here are better than most. I was even given one extra rib for good luck. The sides of collard greens, and macoroni, and cheese were good as well. You get a piece of corn bread with every meal. The corn bread is nice, and moist. The sweet potatoe pie was okay; the crust was a little hard though. I was told they have different meats, different days of the week, so check on what they are serving that day before you go.
I just recently found out about this gem of a place. If you’re looking for very good southern style food you found the right place. I’ve had the fried chicken, the smothered pork chops, the yams, and the mac & cheese. I also tried all the available desserts. Delicious. The workers were courteous and helpful. Unfortunately, they are closed Sunday and Monday.
Best southern food in Westchester. We came all the way from NYC and my partner was here from Chicago and we both loved it. Nice staff and the most sweetest owner you can meet. Funny they ran out of cornbread (it is soooo good) and they turned around and made more and made sure we got it fresh and gave us more since it was not done when we made this order. It was like eating with your favorite grandmother.
Nice soul food spot! Nice portions friendly and nice employees. If you like potato salad tell them to put it another container. Hot and cold doesn’t mix.
Avid meets this establishment for years Some of the Selections have Change in there are a few things that have been omitted. What they still carry the characteristics of war , southern soul food mea How much one of my favorites which are the turkey Wings in the smothered pork chops.\nIf fried fish and their host of vegetables that accompanies these plates. Quite often, after pleasure of sucking the graveyard off my fingers.If you know what I mean. Food is always firstly prepared.\n In service, I like going back there. In addition, they have fish and shrimp combos.Sometimes they have smothered liver outstanding dish. You are small group and doing the summer months.Some of their beverages they sell are pretty good as well.
I finally came here after years of hearing about this place and trying many different options from places in New Rochelle all the way to Nyack. Although the atmosphere is minimal the food is delicious and plentiful. I felt as if I was picking up plates of soul food from my church ladies with the gospel music playing which I did not mind. I ordered three dinners we tried the fried chicken, collards, yams and one order of mac and cheese that was a mistake we should have gotten more and order of peach cobbler. As my daughter described it she felt like eating this food was like getting a hug from a grandma! None of the food is overly seasoned which my husband and I prefer but seems to be the common mistake a lot of soul food locations are making. There is a detour near the location which makes parking a little bit of a challenge however, that will not stop me from returning.
Stopped here after visiting a friend, great food, we got the fish dinner and the fried chicken dinner. Redina & her mom are so sweet. I left with my leftovers and a plant I'll definitely be back when I visit again.
The food here is scrumptious, well seasoned and ample portions. We got the turkey wings, collard greens, mac and cheese, peach cobbler and extra sides of collards and potato salad.You receive cornbread with your meal. Everything was packed up nicely for us and the restaurant itself is very clean. I realize some complained about the personality of one of the women. However, stay focused on why you’re there. A little crankiness is not a big deal… to me. Also, we never know what someone is dealing with. Honestly, my (customer care) experience was neutral for the most part. Shrugs.
