    I came here for my birthday and the service was great and the waitress was really nice and attentive but that was the only redeeming quality. I was really excited to try this restaurant after hearing such great things about it only to rather crave a Hot and Spicy McChicken from McDonald’s and would’ve been more fulfilled than the shrimp and grits I got from this restaurant. None of my family liked what we ordered and even though we only got 4 entrees, we had to wait a total of 30 mins for our food with only 2 other seated parties. I left here dissatisfied and I’m honestly still upset that we paid $145 before tip for 4 entrees that we straight up thought was some of worst food we’ve tried in all of New Orleans. My father got the seafood gratin for $30 and honestly it was one of the smallest portions I’ve ever seen in my life. It was literally cooked on a cookie skillet. On top of that, none of the food had any flavors that stood out. Unfortunately this is going to be a one and done kind of restaurant for me.

    We were very disappointed in our kingfish experience overall. We ate at Mr. B’s the previous night and it was incredible. We were expecting something similar and it was not all all similar. Food, service, ambience everything was marginal. Very disappointing

    We were seated immediately, and ordered drinks which came quickly. We were next to an open window which allowed us to enjoy a second line passing by! The red beans and rice with fried chicken was a winner, and the pasta with scallops was divine. Pro tip: don't sleep on the Floral75.

    I ordered the steak and eggs, which on the menu says filet and eggs and ordered rare plus. To my disappointment, it came out as pieces of fillet, which were all cooked harder than rare. I try to get the attention of the waiter, but he walked away every time I tried to say something. He never came back to ask me how the food was. The flavor of the steak was good, but I was very disappointed with how it was cooked. If you’re going to give pieces of steak instead of an actual whole steak, the menu should stay that.
    Kingfish - New OrleansResponded on May 16, 2025
    I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your meal. The Steak & Eggs is very popular with our guests and we never try to mislead with our menu descriptions. It sounds like our server did not explain this dish properly or check back and for that I apologize. We will use this review as an opportunity to coach our team. We hope that you will visit again.

    My wife and I started with the fried green tomato's and shrimp and roasted beet salad.Both excellent. I had the Kingfish and grits and she had the Jambalaya Risotto both off the brunch menu. Finished with the pecan pie.We would return if ever back in NOLA.
