Kingfish

Maybe it was just this day, but for it not being too crowded the service was pretty slow. And when our food did get to us, mine was cold… Love the location though…

What a absolute disappointing experience! If you like fried food bad service and an incredibly long wait this is your place.
My wife daughter son and I went and ordered food 5 other tables around it came in way after us and already we’re done with their meal before ours was even told it was being worked on. We walked out going to the next restaurant keep you posted

We ordered the captains platter and I’ll pick your own meat which with fried shrimp and grilled shrimp are five for mac & cheese loaded baked potato and a side salad. Our appetizer with fried mushrooms. The mushrooms came out they look very good but they were extremely salty. The grilled shrimp was rubbery with no seasoning fried shrimp was ok. Cat fish was good but honestly the best part of the meal was a loaded baked tater.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. We had a nice experience. It was a beautiful afternoon and the view was amazing.
We had lobster and an appetizer. The food was great. The new clams are really big and I loved their hush puppies.
We ordered the lobster fried and didn’t realize it would be breaded, so that was a little disappointing. All in all it was a nice afternoon.

Awful. All food ordered was cold, fries and two different types of fish. Coke slaw was never delivered to the table. Service was non existent. Ketchup was empty on the table. The breading is heavy on the fish. Avoid this restaurant as it was a huge disappointment. As a visitor, I was hoping it was at least good. It was awful. We will never return and never recommend. They were also out of gumbo! A Louisiana style restaurant out of gumbo? Ridiculous. Worst meal in 2016, congrats, you took first place in one category. Servers question, «are you ready yet?» No (NO) local beer. Limited draft beer. Go next door.
If I could give this restaurant a ⁰⁄₅ I would.

If I could give it a 0 I would. My waitress Melissa had a table of 15 and a table of 2 we were the table of 2. Melissa took our order and never spoke to us again. Some of our food showed up but the sides never made it. The sour cream and tarter sauce never made it either. I had to go find the manager to get our sides taken off the bill or to go. I got up again to get the manager to get my check. The manager took off the sides that didn’t show up and pretended she did us a favor. She apologized. I had to go find her again to get a check. I had to get up again to go get a pen to sign the bill. My waitress was put in a no win situation. I am a great tipper but for the first time in my life I left nothing for a tip. Get your act together. I drove across the bridge 20 miles for 0 service average food and I still don’t have my sour cream or tarter sauce. You suck.

They’ve improved! New menu. The place was buzzing tonight. Excited to see positive changes at a mid priced seafood restaurant. Portion size is good. Food hot. Glad to see the 1970s and the cottage cheese on the menu are gone!!! Keep up the good work!

2 ½ wasn’t expecting greatness based on reviews. A single I went to the bar. Bartender was attentive to me as well as a couple of tables off the bar while I was there on a Monday night at 5:30ish. Asked for his suggestions– blackened cod and I love a good fried oyster. Salad was nice blue cheese dressing tasty but 2 tubs are overkill– 1 is plenty. Cod was lightly blackened (bronzed) but not over cooked or dry (so easy to do) served with a tiny piece of lemon (need to increase the seasoning, higher heat to sear the outside and larger lemon so it’s not hidden by the parsley sprig) but flavors good! Not necessary to put a dish of melted butter on the plate. Oysters have too much breading for me but taste is ok. Onion rings are interesting, not greasy at all with some cornmeal but the coating seemed a bit heavy. Cocktail sauce works. And hush puppy, outer was great! Inside was dull and heavy. Hope the kitchen sees this. Menu is good, just needs to lighten breading a bit. The view at sundown is just beautiful.

Wow, reasonable prices, good down home style fish and not just fried stuff either. Fish portions were lightly breaded and lightly fried. Hush puppies while not the small ones I was expecting, but were light and fluffy with a nice crispy outside. Should have split one of the platters, so much food especially with 2 sides. Onion rings were thick cut lightly battered and great. Cobbett of corn was a whole ear! Green beans were fresh cooked Flat Italian type. Plenty of choices here. Saturday Piña Colada special was tasty and far more than we expected for the $ 2.99 price.

Nice view of Louisville. Recommend to go in a cooler evening, so you can sit outside to enjoy the view! W went there on a Sat night and there was some wait, but not too bad. There was some band performing, great free live music! Their seafood was great (that’s what brought us there!) Love their scallops, but wish it’s slightly larger portion. Their crab legs were great. Love the sampler that we get to try and little of everything!

Our food was just Ok. Nothing to write home about or want to go back soon. The worst part was our waitress. She must have been a cook part-​timing as a waitress. She was in the kitchen almost the entire time we were there. We aren’t usually disappointed when we go out but this time we were.

Eh…‘s ok. Portions were good sized if you’re hungry. I had the Fried Whitefish and the portion was huge. As for something I would have to have again… I have to say it was decent average food and sometimes that is enough. Can I say this is a great restaurant… no…can I say you will have a bad meal… no…can I say I have to run back here every time I am close by… no. I think you can have a nice average meal here and leave feeling you actually had something to eat. Views were great… atmosphere was so so… kinda loud. Staff was polite and helpful. Lets just say I went in with certain realistic expectations and they were met.

I’m gonna try to condense this as much as possible. Brooke was our waitress.5 stars for her! She was perfectly friendly and treated us very well. Okay now the food.
Hush puppies– do yourself a favor and fill up on these fluff balls.
Clams– I can eat myself to death with these little flat f*ckers.
Crab cakes– No. Just no. Don’t.
Coconut Shrimp– These are decent, but the sauce is not.
Mac and cheese– A safe side. don’t be afraid.
Cole Slaw– With black pepper it is aight. will help to get that other crab cake down that you wish you didn’t feel obligated to eat.
Boom Boom Shrimp– If you want to be disappointed in thinking this will be like bang bang shrimp, then by all means, disappoint yourself.
Onion Rings– I’m a batter snob, so my review of these breaded bstards won’t be fair… but for the love of gawd, order these over the fries.

The boyfriend and I were looking for a place to eat at after ice-​skating outside in Jeffersonville (which, by the way, was so much fun!), and we came across this restaurant. Upon entering, the décor was average and the atmosphere reminded me more of a community center, but the view was amazing! We asked for a table by the window, and we could see the whole skyline of Louisville and the river. It was one of the best views we’ve ever seen. Also, the staff who seated and served us was quick, friendly, and funny, so it made the meal more enjoyable. Lastly, I was surprised by the number of families and senior citizens who came to this restaurant. I was impressed by how the staff and restaurant could cater to this crowd, so props to them!
For appetizers, we had the Boom Boom Shrimp, and it was pretty good. It had a slight spicy ting, not much, and it was flavorful. I enjoyed it! For our main course, we chose the «create your own combination» and decided on Fried Catfish, Fried Frog Legs, Cajun Grilled Tilapia, and Grilled Scallops with the sides of corn on the cob, fries, and hush puppies. The hush puppies were pretty big, and I liked them! They were steaming hot, crunchy yet soft, and they started to fill me up before the entrée came out. The catfish was crunchy and not too dry with tartar sauce to enhance its flavor, and apparently, the frog legs tasted like nutty chicken wings! The scallops were well seasoned and came with cocktail sauce while the tilapia was also nicely seasoned and served over a pilaf of rice. The rice was a bit plain and took away the flavor from the fish. These dishes were good, but did not jump out at me like at some other restaurants. With the sides, the corn was very hot and juicy, but the fries tasted a bit generic with nothing very special to point out. We ended our meal with the Raspberry Ice Cream Tini, and it is a lot bigger than it appears in the picture. This was delicious and definitely topped off our meal.
Overall, the food was decent, but I probably would not come back. I would just rather spend my money on food that made me say «WOW» =)

The Mrs. and I went to Kingfish on Friday night. We were sitted at a table with a river and city skyline view. We arrived at sunset, the views were five star. Friday night is half price wine night, so the wife had a glass of pinot gritio. The pinot was dry with a floral nose, only $ 2.75 at the special price, what a deal. I got the craft beer special of the day $ 1.75 for a 12 ounce mug, another good deal. The problem with the porter beer was they served it in an iced mug, so the beer was so cold it had little flavor. The mug stayed icy during the entire meal, so I don’t know if the beer was good or not. My wife ordered the fantail shrimp (8) anf boiled shrimp (3) with 2 sides, she chose onion rings and cole slaw. The Mrs. enjoyed her meal, nicely prepared shirmp and tasty cole slaw and onion rings. I ordered the wharf boat 2 pieces of whitefish, I chose fried, cajun and broiled are available. I got two sides onion rings and cole slaw. The onion rings are sweet and flavorful, with the right amount of batter. The cole slaw is nice and tangy, many times cole slaw is sweet in this area, but Kingfish avoids the sugar, I like tangy better. I got two pieces of whitefish, properly battered, not strong, very nice. Another side offering is french fries, they are the crinklely, frozen kind with little to no taste. I don’t think any restaurant should serve frozen french fries. The bill came to $ 32 with the drink specials, the wife bought a $ 10 coupon for $ 2 online. The dinner with a $ 6 tip was $ 28. We bought enough food home for a meal or two. If you haven’t been to Kingfish for awhile, give them a try.

Have Frequented about twice a year and have been disappointed and «not satisfied» each time. Food not satisfying quality. The dining room, food and servers remind me of a cafeteria feel. These Servers are not sharp and crisp like the servers at Red Lobster.
The view is GREAT!
I’ve tried the scrod fish, which apparently is a Poor quality fish. Why have a poor quality fish on the menu. Doesn’t make sense.
The fish and hush puppies are greasy.
The Food is okay. Red Lobster way better.
Gumbo is served in small shallow bowl.
I like the big dining room atmosphere and the view.
You would think they would up their game and quality of food since located on the river where locals as well as tourist go.
I’m spending my money at Red Lobster.

Well, the view is great. If you can get a table near the window, that is. For some reason, the staff seems a bit stingy with the only thing worth experiencing at King Fish.
My fish sandwich was somehow dry and oily at the same time. And the service was surly.

I stopped in for a quick lunch and was impressed with the fast service and hot food. I ordered the Fish Sandwich special with Fries & Hush Puppies. My server Eddie was friendly, attentive and efficient. The spicy tartar was well made but I didn’t care for it — instead — I asked for their Cocktail Sauce and it was DEE– LISH!

Took the kids here yesterday for the second time. Despite their low stars, we had a great meal. The server was very nice, had some great beer and the seafood platter my daughter and I split was so huge that we didn’t finish it and we were both so full even two hours later.
The view alone makes it worth the visit, but the food was really good as well.

I don’t understand all the negative reviews of this place. It isn’t 4 star, but it does what it sets itself out to do, fine.
The food is tasty enough, and plentiful. Reasonably priced for the variety, the «platter» we ate «communal style» easily served 4 very hungry adults.
Is it chilian sea bass? No. A lot of it is friend, a lot of it is «comfort fish» and other foods. But it was good, Service was pleasant and the place was clean.
