Kingfish Restaurant

I've been to this Kingfish many times over the years. It was always a favorite of my grandparents. We often took relatives that visited from out of town and I remember the food being better than it is today. It's not bad just not the best. I will say that I love the hush puppies. Sadly that's not quite enough to make me want to come more than once a year. The fried fish was a bit tough and the green beans were bland. I liked the onion rings but I think they slice the rings a bit too thick. We also got the boom boom shrimp appetizer which was actually decent but overall I felt like for the price everything should have been better. Our server was friendly and our meals came out quickly which is always a plus with two little kids! Overall two and a half stars. I will return for my yearly visit in 2014.

Always wanted to try this restaurant.  The food was mediocre and overpriced considering.  The service was great though!

Prepare yourself for lots of fried food!  This is a fun old Louisville establishment right on the river where the hush puppies are fantastic and the atmosphere has unique character.  I tried the basket of fried mini shrimp which comes with french fries and to which I added a side of (quite tasty) coleslaw.  Had a half sweet, half unsweet iced tea which I thoroughly enjoyed, too. Go with friends!  They're opening a new bar in February 2013.
