King's Barbecue

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 ********* Too late! 😪 Already closed!

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

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.
