The Best Darn Turkey Wings I ever had besides my own. I love love the collard greens, Mac N Cheese, black eyed peas, cabbage, yams and string beans! My family mostly order the fried chicken, beef liver, and the veggie platter. The prices are pretty reasonable and if you catch the lunch special, even better. We go at least once a week. This is real authentic southern food... North Carolina Style! The staff are always pleasant! I just enjoy interacting with good people that displays excellent customer service!!! read more

Turkey was excellent,chicken wings excellent Rice excellent!! Can't tell you about the the greens because the young man goofed up on that and I got no greens. Mac n cheese not my style. It's the dry oven baked style with no creaminess at all. That's normally how I get it at Jamaican spots and I'm it into it but you may like it Prices are fair You aren't eating inside so be prepared for an order to go. Staff were definitely friendly as were the other customers. Go here!! read more

King's Southern Delight - Chicken Wing dinner with 2 sides - Southern Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

First time here the line was to the door. The service was slow but steady with most people buying multiple meals like myself. When I got to the counter to order the service was friendly and the portions are generous with fair prices to match. As a born and bred southerner from NC who makes collard greens as a regular week night as a side, the food here is legit. A splash of vinegar and some hot sauce and I was good to go. I tasted a bit of everything but surprised at how good the potato salad was. The cornbread tasted like zhuzhed up boxed Jiffy mix but that didn't stop me from enjoying my the rest of my food. The yams aren't syrupy sweet, nothing was overly salted but everything was pretty will seasoned. read more

I was on line for 20 minutes and the time being 4pm they dont close until 6pm. Why do they only have 1 turkey wing left out for display when I ask the young lady if there is anymore she says the cook has been making them all day and he is tired and lazy. Smh. If your store does not close for the next 2hours you should have spare meat not fish and smothered chicken only. It's bad enough they are slow as hell and there food is not as gd as before smh. Beware that!! Your store close on Sunday I get it but you will be closed for the next 2 days. Stop being lazy and do better. Ever since convid the prices went up and the service declined. I very disappointed with this restaurant. read more

Good food, good portions, great service, good atmosphere and affordable, that's a combination that can't lose! read more

King's Southern Delight - Turkey wings white rice with Mac & cheese - Southern Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

First time at Kings's Southern Delight! My husband and I came in from a long day in NYC and were very hungry. I recommended this restuarant to others and decided to try before heading home to CT. Cute place with a few tables to eat in. The place smelled delicious, many choices to choose from... ribs, meatloaf, smothered pork chops, baked chicken, baked turkey wings with all the sides. Redina the owner was there with her mother. Very friendly and accommodating. Looking for comfort food, check them out! read more

Another great spot near my neighborhood. The staff is great, the food is delicious. I just wish I could get it delivered but I live to far (not even sure if they deliver). There is meter parking which I mention because sometimes the lines can be long. They have an app card where after 10 visits you get a free dinner. *NOTE that's 10 visits not 10 dinners. If you purchase 3 dinners at the same time that's 1 visit. I would recommend King's Southern Delight in Mt. Vernon, NY (because there appear to be another one in Ga.). About the picture of pork chop dinner. Half the meal was already eaten by the time I remembered to take a pic. There were 2 prom chops. LOL read more

King's Southern Delight - Sunday dinner on a rainy Sunday Fried fish chicken wings fried chicken - Southern Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

Was in the area so I decided to check out this spot before ending back to the Friendly staff! The turkey wings are very good. I really enjoyed it. The ribs are tendar, and seasoned well. I have eaten ribs from many spots before, but I must say the ribs here are better than most. I was even given one extra rib for good luck. The sides of collard greens, and macoroni, and cheese were good as well. You get a piece of corn bread with every meal. The corn bread is nice, and moist. The sweet potatoe pie was okay; the crust was a little hard though. I was told they have different meats, different days of the week, so check on what they are serving that day before you go. read more

Food is always delicious. Must be patient, they want you to be satisfied with your meal. Low country cooking infused with family love

Old favorite always on point and consistent. Friendly service. Ample parking. Catering never misses.

This place is amazing , the people, the food is great . The atmosphere is calm and crowded. I would defiently reccomend this restaurant , i go all the time. I'm suprised it took so long for everyone else to know about King's Southern Delight ! Amazing read more

First time in a longtime, I was not disappointed. The service was nice and friendly and the place was nice and clean. I ordered the smothered pork chops , mac and cheese with greens. Everything was tasty, but the greens was a bit dry and cut way too wide for my liking. The chops was tender and the gravy had me licking my fingers! Lol For desert I had the peach cobbler, man, was that good!!! So overall , I liked the order very much. read more

Delicious food and friendly service. You get a good amount of food. Southern home style cooking.

Do not get the mac and cheese it was sooo bland. I had to shred cheese from my fridge to be able to eat it. The chicken was fried hard but the meat itself lacked flavor, the skin had flavor. The greens were under seasoned which was fine for me but might not be great for others. I wouldn't come back. read more

I love this place and try to go whenever possible. They accept cash or credit and it is extremely casual dining if you stay. Most people take their food to go although the staff is very friendly. I usually get the fried chicken but the catfish is slammin' too. One of my friends absolutely LOVES the meatloaf, but I have something against meat that has been pressed into shapes... Other friends like the turkey wings. Anyway, the yams, Mac and collards are delish and my usual sides. Can't complain except that I wish that they were open later! Also, one of my friends that frequents the restaurant says that Sunday is the day to go but to go early! Apparently they have this stuffing that is to die for. But I would t know. read more

We are both an elderly couple and some times we are too tired to cook and feel for home cooking. This the place. Excellent appearance , distance sharing, excellent preparation. Cleanliness good portions, tasty satisfying delicious and affordableReal family style environment. Food for the soul. 3 dinners served my husband and me 6 times. Thank read more

I come here every few weeks but never reviewed...such a shame! Hands down best smothered pork chops. It doesn't seem like slopping gravy over a pork chop needs skill but plenty of places try to throw a (salty) gravy over horrible cuts of too fatty pork. Southern Delight has nice cuts with good balance and a savory gravy. The Mac n cheese is really good but could use more crust. Personal preference I guess. The potato salad, greens, yams and fried chicken are all really good. Get the fried chicken and ask for them to pour over smothered gravy or BBQ sauce. You get crispy chicken but with saucy goodness. The ribs themselves are not that great which makes me sad. It's very saucy with no char and despite all the sauce the meat is a bit dry. I only tried them once so maybe it was off night? The other downside is the dessert. It's not bad just not great. Pineapple coconut cake could have been more moist. This is a great family owned business though and the people are sooo friendly and good people. They saw me return money to someone who dropped it unknowingly and I got a free meal for being a Good Samaritan! read more

My husband decided to be adventurous and look up the top 5 soul food restaurants in Mount Vernon. Needless to say this restaurant popped up as number 1. I was very disappointed when I tasted the food despite many good reviews and a long line at the restaurant. He ordered 2 chicken meals and a rib meal. I ate the fried chicken meal. The wing was the size of my 2 hands and the thigh was the size of my foot. To some this would be a good thing, but that smells like a whole bunch of hormones to me. The greens had no flavor, and the Mac and cheese should be called "Mac"because there was absolutely no cheese. The chicken had no flavor but I must say the ribs was OK! It was a nice portion with the meal averaging 12$, which is typical with soul food spots, they threw in cornbread for free which many other soul foods don't. I will say the customer service was good. read more

I hate to give this place one star. The food here has zero taste. Not even a pinch of salt. I've ate several times but today will be my last. I've given them enough chances to redeem themselves. The one star is for the lovely staff. I ordered fried whiting, white rice w/gravy and string beans (which were probably from the can). Too bad. read more

Good food, clean location. Good organized service. Customer smart service. I remember when the location was Brennans a German grocery store in the 60s. Brennan would be happy. read more

So yesterday, Saturday, August 5, 2017, I came to this restaurant and bought some food for my father and I. We both got the fried whiting fish dinner. Dad got collard greens and rice with peas. I got collard greens and yams. Can I tell you how much this place blessed me!!! From the moment I walked in the door everyone was so incredibly hospitable! Customer service is everything to me especially if I'm giving you my money!! So, I'm literally back again today, Sunday, August 6, right now writing this review as I'm standing on line. This in gonna try the turkey wings, which I heard were tantalizing to ones taste buds. I'll be back with another review one today's meal. read more

I've been eating here for years! I love this spot, but depending on the time of day you go the line may be a bit long. I think I've tried everything on their menu but the ribs (I'm not a big bbq sauce person) but I definitely love their pig feet with yams and rice with black eyed peas. Can't forget about their 50/50 lemonade/iced tea drink in the warmer seasons... read more

I'm happy I was referred to King's! Now, I can enjoy tasty down home southern cooking that's not too heavy on the salt. The love and care put into each dish is evident.

The food is GREAT!!! I love the Good ole fashioned soul food restaurant. The place is clean and the servers are friendly. When I enter this establishment I feel like I'm down south....just a humble and quaint place to be!! read more

This seems to be the only Southern cuisine restaurant left in Mt. Vernon. The Owner and the Son are friendly, jokester, Christian folks. When they are around you are sure to leave with a smile on your face. I love love love their turkey wings. They are a nice size and you get 2 of them. The mac n cheese and potato salad are ok ( I have taste better). Their yams, collard greens and cabbage are great. Their cakes are good..I never get their fried chicken because they pre cook it and sit it under a light. That's not my cup of tea Southern Fried chicken should be cooked fresh. Their fried fish is ok and fried to order. Seating sit approximately 1o people. I never seen a bathroom tho'. Dinner prices can run from 9.00-13.00 and of course comes w/ 2 sides. Overall a nice experience. They also give you free cornbread and a mint with every meal...lol read more

Good neighborhood soul food spot for take out. The fried fish is always crispy and the corn bread is moist and tasty. The other side dishes are good but the collard greens and needs more flavor. The service is good but can be busy on Sundays. There are always good desserts to choose from. read more

The customer service is great, the price point is OK but the mac & cheese fell off. There's barely any cheese on a Mac is more like buttered noodles, I think that for the price soup for the price you pay the quality could be upgraded.Set a turkey wings could use more gravy read more

Their food is always on point. I don't think there is even one food item that is not delicious. However my complaint is to the customer service by management. Word of advice, just because you serve good food doesn't mean you can treat your customers anyway you like. Try taking some courses in customer service 101 and attitude adjustment. read more

THIS IS HOW FOOD IS MADE! REAL SOUL BEHIND THAT FOOD!! Love this place and of course I keep coming back for more. Friend put me on and I've been on them since. Food is always made right, seasoned right, correct temperature.... I could really go on. The hospitality, service, quickness is amazing and truly appreciated. I'm one of those that likes to get home and/or destination to eat. Swear the only place that be having me anxious to get in that car and chow down. Wait for what!? In all my visits I have yet to have complained about a plate! This is THAT spot. I thank them all for introducing me onto New and Real! read more

My cousin discovered King's Southern Delight four weeks ago. I was finally able to visit the restaurant this past Sunday. The restaurant is small yet it reminds me of my late Great-Grandmother, Rachel's kitchen. The place is spotless and filled with joy and laughter. The workers are pleasant and there are plenty of dishes to choose from. I ordered the fried chicken dinner with cabbage and baked macaroni and cheese. I enjoyed all three items but the chicken was my favorite. The cabbage was delicious. I prefer more cheese in my mac & cheese but it was still enjoyable. Lastly, the pineapple coconut cake was baked to perfection. I was totally satisfied with my meal. I look forward to trying the turkey wings, collard greens and yams next. My only regret, chitterlings weren't on the menu. read more

Really delicious food is to be had at King's. These folks know how to fry food to perfection. I've heard of fried chicken that "shatters" when you bite into it; never had it before King's. The fried fish and seafood are just as amazing. The sides are all delicious. The cornbread (which you get in addition to the two sides that come with every meal) is just a little bit sweet, and it's lighter than what I've eaten before - just fantastic. We had the peach cobbler and the coconut pineapple cake for dessert. Both are just wonderful, and the cake is very pretty. You have to try this place! read more
