King + Duke

Very flavorful but limited in options. Enjoyed the burger and various drinks on the cocktail menu

This place never disappoints!
I invited some friends for dinner and this place hit home run!
I had the new Mahi Mahi and it was so fresh and light! My guest had the burger , duck and they were in shocked as to how good everything tasted.
The service has always been great and they sure go above and beyond.
We had the chance to eat outside and the ambiance is great and breezy.
If you are looking for a place to take your special someone or a friend? Look no further than King + Duke.
ASK FOR POPPERS!

King + Duke is a long time favorite of ours. We love the ambiance, the seasonal menu and service. The menu feels both eclectic and traditional. Who doesn't like dinner by lamplight? It felt romantic to us!

We started with baked burrata with toast. I followed our appetizer with a burger (aka The Duke) and fries. My husband chose the Lamb Tbone. He left no crumbs, so I happily gave him half my burger. It was so good (carmelized onions melt in your mouth), but I was reaching my fill.

Our waiter was a young man trying to break into acting. I offered my coaching (lol!) and we all had a hearty laugh over that! It was such a delightful evening from start to finish. I highly recommend King + Duke for your next date night or guys'/ladies' night out. Cheers!

Frankly I had forgotten how great King + Duke is until my visit this week. First, dining during the week will always be superior to weekends, imo, and I enjoyed a great experience on a Thursday evening seated at the bar.

Quick considerations: the space is lovely, and simultaneously upscale and grand but still quite cozy feeling. The menu is arguably fairly brief but highly interesting and not missing much, if anything. The service has, on this trip and others, always been impeccable and knowledgeable.

There's an artful dance to serving dinner at the bar and the staff here gets that (thanks Tiffany!) - never too much time passed between needing anything and it arriving, but either by design or busyness there was never any intrusion, and lots of perfect recommendations.

The mushroom side dish: this might sincerely be one of the most interesting things I've eaten recently. Apparently they're smoked for an absurd amount of time and then grilled and served on a dreamy layer of what is likely butter and magic. They're a dream. Order. The. Mushrooms.

The steak tartare was perfect - served with a few thinly sliced chips on top, with a side of crusty bread that looked great but just isn't really my thing...

Because I prefer fries - and the fries here are every bit worth every indulgence. I'm a huge fan of a fries/champagne situation (it's an immaculate pairing, you're welcome.) and enjoy both is exactly what I did. These are super crunchy, soft in the inside, fat fried fries. If you like commercial frozen fries these aren't for you. These are legit. Having forgotten how substantially interesting they are.... I will be back soon for them. For science, of course.

The Duck confit - called a shank but felt like confit to me - was excellent, fat fully rendered and flavorful.

Sticky toffee pudding... was perhaps not sticky enough? It was delish but very cake like - but I'm also not an expert STP taster, so that might be a me thing. 9/10 would eat a bite of any dessert so it really was not a miss at all.

Decent bourbon selection (a few interesting things in addition to the basics) and a succinct but great wine by the glass list.

Wrapping up, I regret neglecting this spot so much. Yum.

I just realized that I had not finished my review of King and Duke; when I returned to do so, I discovered that it has since closed. I am very saddened by this news as it was a fantastic open hearth kitchen with great ambiance and even better food!

Outstanding dinner spot in Buckhead. Went with a work party so everything was served family style. The kitchen is open and you can easily see the grills and steaks cooking in cast iron pans. Really cool feature to the restaurant. Solid bourbon list with great prices. As for the food, I really enjoyed the Amberjack and the Sirloin. The Georgia Shrimp is a fantastic appetizer. Definitely recommend for a date night.

This may not be the popular review but it's honest

I brought a party of eight to King + Duke for a business dinner. Having been there before, and not being overly impressed. It was requested that we go there this evening. Looking through the menu, I will say that most restaurants have something for everyone, not this place. I ordered appetizers for the table, most of which were seafood and I was unable to eat them, but that was primarily because they weren't very many choices. Their main courses consisted of a few potentially interesting choices. Not feeling like having any of the items offered I settled for a $26 hamburger. To be brutally honest, they tried to upsell myself and most of my guests with their orders. The burger was very salty And the fries were not very good. My guests enjoyed their meals and I made no complaints about my meal. One of my guests ordered a drink that I was charged for and never came to the table. Dinner for eight was over $900 (with tip) and not worth it by any means. The wait staff was friendly drinks were brought out in a reasonably good period of time.

Limited menu and simply not worth the price and the place is LOUD!

5 Stars all the way!

I've been wanting to come here for a few years now and so glad I finally did. I made reservations through open table with ease and upon arrival, there were no issues. The host was very friendly and sat us right away. We had a good view of the kitchen in nice corner booth.

We ordered the bone in ribeye and branzino. The ribeye was ordered as medium and came more medium well and took a very long time to grill. We did have the popovers which were delicious and just enough to tie us over. The steak was absolutely delicious and juicy. The russet potatoes it came with were addicting!

The branzino was good, very tender and falling apart on your fork. It was a little difficult eating with my fork in the left hand so I had to switch. The tomatoes were piping roasted hot and very delicious.

The service was the best in town so far. Cavin was beyond great, really genuine and he made sure to really understand how to pace our night of dining.

I cannot wait to go back again. Thank you for such a wonderful evening!

Talked a big game -- nice atmosphere, wood fire grill, cool decor -- but delivered McDonalds.


Pork chop was pretty boring. Medium rare waygu steak was more like rare+ and tasteless. Medium burger was barely medium rare.

For the price -- and it IS pricey for what you get -- I expect way more. Cooks and Solders is leaps and bounds better is every regard

Ordered the King Steak, it was a solid piece of steak but nothing out of this world. I did however really like the presentation. Also ordered the summer squash which was tasty and different but little too much cheese for my taste. Service was top notch. And the restaurant was gorgeous. I would return but probably will not order the King Steak, i just don't think it was worth the money.
