Reviews
I ordered the Kings platter and my wife ordered pecan chicken and waffles. The kings platter gave me a chance to try a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed the chicken wings and hot sauce. What I didn’t enjoy was the mac and cheese. I can’t pin point what it is but my guess is maybe American cheese? I could be wrong , but it definitely didn’t taste that good.
I was told the pecan chicken and waffles were really good though! Overall we’d come back to try what else is on the menu and to hear some good music .
Alright so I was unsure about coming to this place because of the mixed reviews, but decided to give it a shot. I lived in Houston for 7 years and just moved here from Detroit, so I’m very familiar with southern and soul food.
The good: The service was very good, there weren’t many people in there but it was 3pm so I’m not surprised. The music was nice and relaxing, the overall decor was pretty cool. They have a roll of paper towels on a dispenser at every table, that’s pretty nice.
The bad: The table we sat at was sticky, like it had been washed with a very dirty rag.
I ordered the Kings Platter (sausage, drumstick, breast, pulled pork, baby back ribs, catfish, and cornbread) with fried okra and collard greens, sweet tea to drink. It came so fast I knew there was no way it was cooked to order. Very nice portions, got some leftovers.
The tea was great, the collard greens were clearly premade and microwaved, though they still weren’t terrible, the fried okra was very good, could have used a little seasoning though.
The platter itself was also clearly prepared beforehand and reheated, though most of it wasn’t too bad. The catfish was pretty good. Freshly cooked would have been better. The sausage was pretty good, but tasted like kielbasa. I like kielbasa, but that isn’t what I was expecting. The chicken was alright, honestly nothing to rave about, but I’d order it again. The baby back ribs were extremely dry and tough. The flavors were great, just unappealing texture. The pulled pork was barely room temperature, but I tried it and it tasted good. The cornbread was ice cold, like it had just been pulled out of the fridge (probably was). That was the only issue I mentioned to the waitress, who quickly got me another cornbread muffin, which was microwaved, but still tasted quite good. The hot sauce they brought was basically franks red hot, or some similar brand. It was basic vinegar based hot sauce. Not bad.
My mother ordered fried chicken, baby back ribs ribs, gumbo, and mashed potatoes and gravy. She quite liked everything, except the gumbo had soggy odd textured rice at the bottom, probably because it had been refrigerated for a day or two and the rice absorbed much more liquid than if it had been stored separately from the gumbo base. (Suggestion)
All in all, not terrible, but not great. I’ll definitely come back, and order something different. I’d recommend giving it a try if you like southern/soul food.
What I really appreciate is the restaurant’s vibrant paint job and the lively colors inside. It adds a fantastic atmosphere to the dining experience. I can’t resist coming back here every time I’m in Appleton; it’s just that good.
