King's Court Restaurant

We’ve had many problems with them before. Our first experience with them was in October last year. We reserved the room upstairs for an hour and a half lunch when we were all granted an extra hour of admin leave that day. About twenty people came that day and some sat downstairs for lunch. We thought sitting down for that length of time and ordering there would be plenty of time for lunch. Well, we were wrong and we were actually rushed near the end.

This wasn’t a problem for everyone… just for the people who had meals still cooking while other people were eating. However, one of us was let inside the kitchen afterwards to personally thank the chef and found out it was just two people who cooked for all of us. Sam, the owner/chef, and one other cook made a meal for like 20 people in the reserved room in addition to the other people in the small dining room downstairs. Most of the people did like the food too.

On another occasion, though during night, there was a gratuity problem with a gift certificate, but that's a whole other story. Their website is also terrible. The pictures on there get the red x so we couldn’t display the menu in picture format. It’s been like that for a while now. Anything designed by buffalobarfly usually is though with the same template and boring format. They are open early from 8 and close at 11 and have off on Sundays.

Today, we were smart and pre-ordered ahead of time. We called today and this was our first trip back in over a half year. We got a quesidilla with no onions and sour cream on the side, a double order of hot chicken wings with extra bleu cheese, and an order of fresh cut French fries. We got the order to go just in case if they were late or slow.

To our surprise, we came in and said we ordered ahead and that order was sitting and waiting for us at the bar all ready to go. It also had napkins and forks in bags inside along with packets of salt, pepper, and ketchup. When we got back with our order after deciding not to eat outside on the patio, everything was still very warm. The walking distance is similar to the hot dog guy on Huron and Delaware, so it's quick. The fries were very hot, a little soggy though, but still impressed by how everything was hot still.

These were probably the biggest wings we've had for lunch time here. They had so much meat on them and it was easy to bite off. The blue cheese request was honored so there were two. They were mostly liquid, but still very tasty. The combined flavors between the wings and blue cheese gave it a unique taste similar to between a Chicken Finger order and just wings. The Quesidilla didn't have chicken, though they offered it for extra, a chicken wing came through and helped out there.

They actually had some great timing today unlike in the past. Maybe it had something to do with us pre-ordering ahead or less orders the better for less confusion. Still, this showed us we would come back again and it raised the rating from what would have been even lower.

Final Rating: 3.0 out of 5
