We were there for a Sunday brunch. Besides having not much alternatives for gluten free items the taste of food we ordered wasn't great. As I write this Philly steak my boyfriend ordered is sitting in his stomach. I ordered liver with onions with beets and collards as sides. Both sides seemed to come directly from can. Nothing special about them. The liver had a lot of vein in it, which made it difficult to cut. The onions were burnt but delicious. However, there wasn't enough onions to eat the bland liver. The place looked ran down. I understand some people prefer that, however I am not one of them. Luckily, this is the last time we will ever visit this establishment. The empty parking lot should have given us the clue but my boyfriend wanted to try this place as his son recommended this diner. Note to self, do not follow the culinary suggestions of the son. read more

King Street Diner - Liver with onions with beets and collards - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I give 3 stars because the decor was retro and it reminds me of diners I went to growing up. The service was fantastic. Unfortunately, the food tasted like chemicals and both my boyfriend and me ended up getting sick later that day. I would try them again in hopes that was just a bad day. read more

I have been coming here for years. They have the BEST pancakes in the 757. And their fried sway fish with cheese grits and home fries is my go to meal. I've brought several people here and they've all enjoyed it. I've only had a bad meal once in all the times I've gone there and I assumed the original cook was on vacation. The place could use some updates but that would eliminate its "hole in the wall" feel which I personally enjoy. Only downside is make sure you use the bathroom before you get there. read more

King Street Diner - Fish and grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Just had breakfast the only thing good was the eggs. No toast waitress did not inform me prior to odering they were out of bread. Hash browns were full of grease. Even the smoke sausage was greasy. IHOP or Dennys. read more

Hostess was friendly and breakfast was awesome. This will be my go to spot on my next visit to Hampton.

Good food and service. The wait staff is fun and helpful. It has the feel of an only diner (which it is). My family goes to breakfast when I'm in town. read more

Overall decent place. I ordered the shrimped and grits and really enjoyed it. The French toast was ok, we've had better but it wasn't bad at all. It's a small location that wasn't busy but the service was pretty good. The restaurant itself has a retro mom and pop ambiance. I'd go again read more

The food was great and the service was fast. I would definitely get the pork chop breakfast again.

Was in the area on a vacation and stumbled upon this tiny diner. Service was amazing. Food was amazing. Highly recommend!

Great staff. Regulars are welcoming. Very, very good food at reasonable prices. Huge portions. Highly recommend the liver and onions. Our go to diner for all occasions. read more

Great breakfast and value for your money. Friendly service. Try the omelets fr sure

Bad service today and all the food came out burnt. Food we ordered they no longer have available. The server had no idea what was available. No daily soup. No soup. Burnt pancakes, burnt shrimp, etc. I'm sad to say I will not be coming back after being a patron for 12 years. The service was awful. read more

Nah. Just don't do it. Go find someplace better. Thank me later. Oh, and when we were going to pay the bill, there was a roach near our table. Never again. read more

If you want fast/good breakfast it's a great place to eat. Always friendly and kind of a local joint. Main thing is the food is good portioned and very reasonably priced. I can get in there with my wife eat and leave within 30minutes. Cooks are fast. Pancakes are great as well. read more

We thought they were overly priced for the amount of food we got. We can get the same amount of food for lesser price at other diners like IHOP, WAFFLE HOUSE. We were trying to check out a new spot. It was our only and last visit. The building does not have enough parking spot and the inside was very small. It felts too cramped. The crowd that this location attracted, wasn't our cup of tea. So we will pass. Not going back. read more

I agree with it doesn't look like much but i was always taught don't judge a book by it's cover & in the case that's exactly right because King St is good & they are always so nice & willing to give you exactly what you want or try to get it as close as they can for you and that makes me happy and puts a smile on my face! I usually have dealings with Lance and he is by far one of the nicest people I've come across always polite and just over all pleasant & you don't come across that a lot anymore in these days & time. So, my hats off to the little diner on the side of the road you pass and just catch it out the corner of your eye my opinion definitely make the U turn and go try it, you will be happy !!! read more

Nice clean place with good food and large portions all at a nice price. We received a friendly greeting as we walked through the door. Our food came out fast and hot, and cooked to order. In fact, the staff gladly accommodated a special order request. The parking lot for this place is always packed (so is the inside). My only regret is not trying this place sooner. We will be back. read more

King Street Diner - Corned beef hash, egg whites, home fries, and toast. Nice size portions and good service. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I would give this place 10 stars if I could...hands down the best BBQ sandwich I have had in a long time. The ice cream is one of the thickest, creamiest I've had. Great chocolate flavor. Our family of 4 had sandwiches, fries, sodas, and ice cream...my belly is full! read more

This is a small family business and small restaurant don't bring a lot of people lol. The prices here is reasonable here. The first time I was there I got the French toast, eggs, and fried potatoes. Let me tell you the fried potatoes was smacking!!!! Lol. It now my favorite spot to go to when I'm in town read more

So glade we stopped. Food was great! Low priced with great service. Try the crabcakes! Will be coming back! read more

King Street Diner - a plate of breakfast food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Breakfast here is very good highly recommended it for a nice home style breakfast. Staff is friendly and clean environment

Great food and service. This is like a classic breakfast/lunch spot. This is not a chain restaurant like every other place in Hampton roads. So don't expect it to be... Had the gravy over biscuits with eggs and home fries. Delicious and tastes like home cooked meal from my grandma. I was surprised at the amazing taste. Waitresses are very nice. Prices were more than reasonable. Will be coming back again. 5/5 stars read more

This place is sooooo good great service great food!! Always a go to!! When im in Hampton VA!!

Not bad, not great. I stopped in during breakfast hours, but luckily they will serve simple lunch items "like sandwiches" during that time as well. I had the chicken cheesesteak which was just ok. The chicken was a little thin and the cheese was very salty. I agree with the other commenters about the ambiance - don't go in with high expectations. It's very small and low-key and the clientele is locals/regulars. I may return to give them another chance and to explore more of their menu. read more

So this place reminds me of my hometown diner that has all the household breakfast and lunch plates that we all love so much and can relate to. The diner used to be an old gas station back in the day, so it's a neat environment. The owner is down to earth and has a great sense of service and is passionate about it to the fullest. He really has a great staff that has been with him for along time and you can tell that by when you sit there and watch the interaction between the customers and the staff. Very homey place and friendly, I recommend it !! read more

Have been here maybe 30 times or so- they serve breakfast and lunch. they have specials for both breakfast and lunch. its kind of small seating perhaps 40 or so, and the will accommodate larger parties if they are not packed. This is a down home diner- good food, good portions, and very good service,. The have the best home fries on the planet- no kidding, I would go there just for the home fries. For lunch, they make great cheeseburgers and club sandwiches. It's a family favorite for breakfast read more

King Street Diner - Interesting coffee mugs, different one each day - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

This place is awesome I had the crab cake sandwich with a sweet tea and it was the best crab cake sandwich I have ever eaten it had absolutely no filler I will definitely be back and I'm going to bring friends this is a great family-owned restaurant super friendly people and super proud of their place read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. They're super disorganized and the servers have no clue what's going on.

Wanted to find a traditional diner for breakfast and I am glad I found this restaurant. For the most part the food was good, price reasonable, but: I must've hit them on an off day. The service was not that great. Don't give me wrong they were friendly but certainly didn't even go out of their way to refill my coffee cup or check and make sure everything was alright. I'll be going back and would recommend this restaurant but I would just like to see the service stepped up a notch. read more

This is a great little diner. Went on a Sunday 1000 and not very busy and very friendly hostess and others that worked there. Reasonable time to get food. I will try to add a picture of my 2 eggs over easy, home fries, corned beef hash and English muffin. It was delicious! We asked that the English muffins were grilled on the grill (great idea and great taste) and if I got again i would add the onions to the home fries for an extra .50. My wife got an omelet and the grits instead of home fries and they were also great. The omelet was stuffed. We will be back. read more

King Street Diner - This is the yummy breakfast i described in my review on 9 Jun 17. If I get it again I will add the onions to the home fries (extra .50). - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Tasty food. No frills. Price is right and portions good. Service is friendly, but not super attentive. Sometimes it takes a while to get things. Place looks it used to be a former auto mechanics building, which adds it's own charm. I've had the all you can meet and spagetti and it was tasty and filling. Breakfast is served all day and the breakfast special is usually always good. read more

Read the reviews and took my sis in law and brother in law here last week. They aren't chain restaurant fans & I love finding places to eat with them. They both had the basic 2 egg, potato breakfasts. They couldn't stop talking about how good the potatoes were! I had the half order or french toast which was dandy. My little niece helped her daddy finish off the grits and pancake. All in all it was a great little dive breakfast with AWESOME service. One complain was that the coffee could have been better. read more

Came in on a Sunday after church for the first time. Of course Sunday's are always busy everywhere but we sat at a table for 10 min without anyone talking to us or taking a drink order. We decided to walk out and as we did we hear a waitress say "I wasn't going to wait on them anyway". Totally unprofessional. I was open to going back another time before she said that but I won't be back. I wouldn't want employees with that type of mindset handling what I'm going to eat. read more

this place is amazing. I would say the next time you're thinking of go to IHOP come here instead, it will be worth it.

They get an extra star for friendliness. A man sitting down greeted me as soon as I walked in and told me someone would be right with me. I'm guessing he was an owner. He was sitting down enjoying coffee with 2 other people. This place is definitely a local hang out with an older crowd. It is very, very small inside. Maybe seats 30-40 if that. A man came out of the back while I was waiting and all I thought was, I pray he isn't the cook. He had on a sweatshirt and jeans that didn't look like it should be around food. He did speak when he came out. Like I said everyone was very friendly. The lady who rang me out was kind as well. The food however was not up to par with the $8.10 that I paid. All I got were 2 eggs, bacon, home fries with onions and toast. The toast was stale, the eggs tasted like normal eggs, the bacon was fried good, the potatoes were fresh cut potatoes with grilled onions. I like that they were fresh potatoes but they had no flavor or seasoning. The price is just way too high for the quality of food. But I won't be back. Not sure why some rated them so high... read more

King Street Diner - Just a basic breakfast. Stale toast. Not worth the $8 that I paid. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I liked this cute little diner. I went yesterday with a friend for my birthday breakfast. Been wanting to check it out for awhile now, I live 2 mins from it. Friendly staff, good food. The home fries were awesome. Coffee was good too. Our server was nice as well. I thought it was a little more expensive than it should be. But I'll definitely be back. read more

I love this type of restaurant. Nice mom and pop place with good food and lots of locals. This is the type of place where friends might hang out after breakfast, chat, or read the newspaper. Very nice staff too. I wish there were more places like this in Hampton. read more

Whenever I move somewhere new, I always look for the hole-in-the-wall diner that makes the best breakfasts. If fancy is what you're looking for, you've come to the wrong place. Staff is friendly. Food prices are awesome and the portions are huge. You will not leave hungry. It's my go-to place with my family when we are craving that tiny diner atmosphere. read more
