King Of The Sea Seafood - Statesville

The service was quick and courteous. The restaurant was clean. The food was basic. I felt like my fish was cooked in the microwave and some old bay seasoning thrown on top. The hush puppies were delicious. This is a great, inexpensive, close to home seafood choice for dinner but if you are a seafood lover/foodie, this is not the place for you.

Visiting from out of town, reviews and pictures suggested an experience like our favorite seafood restaurant back home. Did not disappoint. Hush puppies were perfection, all the seafood cooked and seasoned just right, even the baked potato was perfect. Definitely worth the visit.

King of the Sea was one of the best seafood restaurants I have eaten at recently. I ordered popcorn shrimp with onion rings and slaw. Normally, at other seafood restaurants, the food is cold and dripping in grease, but here, the meal was hot, fresh, and not greasy at all. Our server was Rebecca. She was excellent. I told her that this was my first time dining at King of the Sea, and she informed me that she would see that we had a good dining experience and that she would even add an extra helping of love. She was fantastic. She checked on us several times to see if we needed anything, and she was very fast and efficient. One could tell that she is definitely a people person. Normally, I do not order dessert, but I had to have a piece of the chocolate cake with the chocolate icing. When Rebecca brought it to our table, there was a piece of cake large enough to feed 4 people. It was well worth the $5.99 it cost. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also good. The only negative item I have to mention is that the music was a little loud, but I could live with that. This was a fabulous dining experience, and I will return. Thank all of you for this wonderful experience.

I 've been eating here ever since they opened the place, and my food from here has always been excellent. I was recently told while attempting a call-in order that their 4-item fried combo is no longer available, but the guy on the phone sounded questionable, so I 'm going to check on that a little further. Also, I didn 't like management 's response to Bottom Feeder TV 's comment on frog legs tasted like dirt . It was a cheap shot to lay the blame of muddy-tasting frog legs on kitchen employees ... when fish tastes like dirt, fish in a different pond (or better yet, get 'em from a river) ... don 't blame the cook . But like I said, my food from King Of The Sea has always been super-good.

Very good, always hot and the service staff are very friendly and helpful. Do not confuse KotS with fast food, no you don’t wait a long time, but it’s DEFINITELY NOT FAST FOOD. Relax, enjoy some hush puppies, yes they are delicious, have a coffee, tea or your favorite soft drink, and soak up the ambiance. This is old school fish camp, like your grandfather took you to. Bring the family, friends, coworkers, church group or just come with your son or daughter. It’s a great place to make a memory. Your child will ask you to bring them back again and again. Now I didn’t write this long review just because I like tapping on my phone, it’s REAL! Try it, you’ll like it. Tell ‘em Kevin Jr told you it’s real good, they may treat you with a slice of key lime pie, or maybe not. You should buy a slice to take home for later. AND, ask for the take home box when you order because the servings are huge.
