Tried this place while on a long trip, and glad I did. I’m more used to Eastern North Carolina style, and was eager to give this a try. The sauce was very different, more tangy than sweet, with the aid of what I can only surmise was a lil bit of mustard. The chopped pork sandwich was good, slaw more of a coarsely chopped style than a finely diced. The price on the “deluxe pork sandwich,” which included two sides, was very nice. I gotta say though, saw a table nearby with two plates of the fried chicken dinner and I nearly threw my plate against a wall to distract them while I stole a few bites. Next time I come here the chicken better be looking over its shoulder.

King’s has been serving up some of VA’s finest BBQ since 1946! In addition to the wonderful pork , they also serve pit Beef . Next time you’re in Petersburg, check ✔️ them out. You can’t go without getting the hand-breaded, fried Onion Rings!! Or their home made pies!
Closed for Renovations, Re-Opening in October.
I hear they are open for takeout Wednesday and Saturday, 11 to 2, but close when the BBQ runs out! Get there early!!!
******CLOSING JUNE 17TH *********

Food is excellent, service is very good and friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful as well. Plenty of seating and every time that we’ve been there they always have a lot of customers. You can watch them chopping the meat at the far end of the counter, just outside of the kitchen. They have pork and beef. It’s so nice that they aren’t far from where we live. Not overly expensive, & you feel welcome when you walk in. Highly recommend.

5NOV21 Back for another DELICIOUS BBQ meal. I came to see my Sister this morning and before heading back to Richmond I had to treat myself to lunch at KINGS. AUG21 FINALLY!!! KINGS is back with “dine in” service!!! I have really missed eating here since the Covid epidemic intruded in everyone’s life. They have redecorated and the place really looks NICE!!! I had my usual: the large sliced pork dinner with baked beans and french fries and a sweet tea. DELICIOUS!!! As always. KINGS BARBEQUE is the VERY BEST BBQ!!! I have been going to this restaurant since I was a child. My Family ( Mom, Dad, 2 Sisters, Grandma, Aunt and Uncle and numerous cousins) used to go there every Sunday after Church. Their sauce is the secret that makes Kings “The King of Barbeque”. Sure will be glad when this Covid mess is over so I can enjoy “dine in” meals again. The place hasn’t really changed all that much in all these years. A lot of my Family members aren’t here anymore but my Children, and their Children, are loyal fans of this AWESOME restaurant and are carrying on a Family tradition of enjoying DELICIOUS barbeque in a place we all love and appreciate.

By far the worst BBQ joint, and possibly restaurant I have ever been. I was astonished by the previous amount of positive reviews for the establishment. The BBQ chicken was all burnt and came at a just above room temperature all rubbery. 100% without a doubt it wasn’t freshly cooked and arguably a day or 2 old. Baked beans were cold and definitely premade out a can. Potato salad was degrading. The the waitress stood a short distance from the table and basically watched us eating the whole time. Across the board this was a pretty bad experience. Wouldn’t recommend.

First, the good: delicious especially the pork. Also enjoyed the collard greens and hush puppies. Now for the not so good: I dined there at about 4 on a Thursday afternoon. there were very few people in the restaurant eating. With that said, I was never offered a refill of a drink. Also, I finally had to go to the register to get a check to pay.

First time here… had a GREAT experience! Loved the 1/2 inside and 1/2 outside meat on the sandwich… and the potato salad is VERY good, had to order some to go for home later!! Will definitely be back…
And don’t forget to try “THE SAUCE.”

Very popular local and family run restaurant. Food is well prepared, value priced and served with a smile. Good place for travelers to stop, not far from the highway.

Fully appreciate the nostalgia of a established family owned and run business. The food and service is Very Good but not exceptional or memorable IMHO. The bbq beef is not brisket, it’s sirloin roast beef. You have to use a lot of imagination to use the word barbecue or smoked in the same thought with the beef. The pecan pie is exceptional. And the hot sauce bottle says ‘Texas’ on the label.

Good food. Larger portions I’m guessing leads to larger prices. Nice throw back place. Clean. Good service.
