At King and Duke, we showcase locally sourced ingredients through simple, yet focused hearth cooking. Our goal is not to manipulate food, but to accentuate the natural flavors of our products through slower methods of cooking and the smoke of the wood fire. Through this primitive technique, constantly moving and manipulating the live fire, we invest exacting attention to the preparation of each and every dish.

Our managing partner, Ford Fry, named the restaurant after two characters in Huckleberry Finn, “The King” and “The Duke," a pair of grifters who ‘put on airs’ and pretended to be royalty, when in fact they were a couple of hillbillies who lived in the woods. With our slightly mischievous ways ☺, a huge focus on quality, yet a primitive cooking style and down-to earth atmosphere, Chef Fry felt like it was the perfect name for our newest restaurant.

Overall it was a good meal and the service was even better. I was disappointed in the seating. I made the reservation several days in advance and made a note in Open Table that I was having a business dinner and wanted an out of the way table where we could be out of the bustle of the dining room as best as possible. I even called to talk to them to make sure they understood. They did not return my first call, so I called again before getting a return call. They said they could accommodate us. I even got there early the scout out the place and restated my need and asked if we could be seated on the mezzanine that would be quieter. I was told it was reserved already for larger groups (we had a table of 4). We were seated in the middle of the dining room right in front of the kitchen. Thanks for nothing! They totally ignored my request. I went up on the mezzanine while we were eating and there were no large groups only 1 table of 6 and the rest tables of 2 and 4.

My friend and I had lunch to celebrate both of our birthdays. It was both of our first times to eat here. Our waiter started us out with a surprise glass of Prosecco. Our lunch (pimento cheese hushpuppies / Duke burger & a huge portion of fries) was delicious and it ended with another surprise of a "to die for" cake with caramel sauce and home made ice-cream. We gave it a 10! And will recommend and go back again!

The service was much better than my previous experience here. The only issues this time around were that the NY strip was a bit fatty, especially for the price, and out of the three side we got, the only one that seemed to be truly "family style" was the potatoes puree. The swuahs and greens, although delicious, were very small for four people. Also, I'm not sure why they inquire if this is for a special occasion when making a reservation if they aren't going do something or at lest acknowledge it.

We had a wonderful dinner. We were late to our reservation and they were kind enough to still seat us. Our waiter and the other wait staff were awesome and very helpful. I would visit again and sit in another spot in the restaurant as we were close to the front by the door/off of the bar.

My wife and I loved our dinner tonight. We started with the endive salad and the bbq shrimp. Both were excellent. Then we had the lasagna and the chicken. Both were absolutely delicious!

The waiter was fantastic. And the manager came by to check and see if we were enjoying our dinner. She was incredibly attentive and engaging.

We topped it off with two of the homemade ice creams - vanilla and brownie. What a perfect ending to a perfect dinner. We will definitely be back!

We’ve dined at King + Duke on multiple ocassions so my son selected it for my birthday. However, the food this time was a BUST. Burned grill shrimp appetizer - tough pork loin - burger orders ALL wrong. Chocolate tarte dessert wasn’t good either. Popovers weren’t great as typical either. Ugh. Maybe there was a new chef. Either way, I’ll think twice before returning. Disappointing.

Good food and Corbin provided superb service! Unfortunately, the place is just so loud it is impossible to have a conversation across the table. It doesn’t help that the music is blaring so loudly. It is a restaurant, not a night club - and most people like to talk during dinner.

Beef Brisket Hash was tender large cubes with deep fried new
potatoes and excellent seasoning.

Our server, Corbin was fantastic. He was the highlight of the meal. The food was extremely salty....and a few dishes we only took a few bites (scallops and chicken). The vegetables arrived at the table looking tired...it seemed as if the green beans had been sitting on a warmer for too long. And again.....all salty. We won't be back.

My wife and I shared a salad of endive leaves filled with apple, cheese and pecans, which was seasonal and very good. My halibut filet was served with a napa cabbage slaw. My wife's trout filet was quite large. The pureed potatoes with cheese were to die for.

The menu rotates, but the current menu made for the best meal of 2018
Our meal was:
1. Georgia grilled shrimp
2. Steak tartare
3. Oysters, which were so good we ordered a second batch
4. The duck was the best duck I’ve ever had
5. Toffee pudding

Rashan, our waiter was so attentive and personable. The food was all delicious and so fresh, and the bread.... can’t even describe to you how amazing it was. It was the best bread anywhere. It was our anniversary and they brought out complementary champagne for my husband and me. Wonderful experience.
