    We always have a great experience when we eat at Kings. Last night was special bc our waitress, Brooke took super good care of us on an extremely busy night! The day after Valentines and on a Saturday night. We are from OK, have a home in Carlsbad and we ALWAYS make a point to eat at King’s while we’re in town! Sometimes more than once!

    This was an amazing experience, valet greeted us and they were kind enough to guide us. Our waitress was professional, friendly and customer service oriented. She knew the best times to approach us and didn’t make us feel rushed. All the staff was cognizant of our needs and made us feel welcomed. We didn’t have to worry about an empty cup of water. We were asked several times how our experience was and they made sure we enjoyed our meals. Only thing I wasn’t too fond of was dessert but that’s my own personal preference.
