The Scene – The wood spindles that seperate table stations give this country kitchen interior a feeling of largeness. The sign hailing motorists from parking lot displays the nature of King's: a faux brick hearth outlined in neon. Booths circumscribe the perimeter. The interior is half early Bob Evans, half Medieval Times. – – The Food – This 'cue is the real deal. Tender Carolina-style pork screams with taste and isn't nearly as acidic as most Virginia barbecue. Tangy and redolent of vinegar sauce, it leaves the palate refreshed instead of burned out. The…
Editor's Tips
- One of Richmond's Best:
- Nominated for Best Barbecue for its ultimate minced pork sandwich in the area, definitely worth the drive for real 'cue lovers.

Not E Carolina Type

Read reviews on this site and rode from Hampton Va. to give it a try. While good, this is not the vinegar based pulled pork BBQ that I grew up eating in the Red Springs area of NC. I'm still searching for that taste.
The Apple pie that others raved about I found to be a bit too spicey.
Tea was too sweet.
Had a good meal but it's not what I was looking for.
- Pros: Clean, Fast Service
- Cons: Small Portions

Simple - BUT THE BEST!
by CharlesRoy at Citysearch
King's BBQ - - simple - good - NC style - vinegar sauce the best. Had BBQ "everywhere" - but nothing beats the "toasted" buns and taste of the BBQ. I've NEVER had any gristle or fat - just pure minced BBQ. My only disappointment...when I've driven there and it's closed@! But I'll always go back for more!
- Pros: Nothing tastes better
- Cons: Not always open

Good down home barbecue and wonderful service
by janeoak at Citysearch
We drive from Short Pump to Petersburg often to get some of the best barbecue on earth. Good service, cheap prices, good food. I have lived all over the south and west and I think King's is one of the best places for barbecue. Not a fancy place just a good place for good barbecue.
- Pros: good food good service
- Cons: not fancy
