King & Rye is the reflection of the bounty of the mid-Atlantic and Southern regions. We feature seasonal, intentional ingredients sourced through real relationships with farmers, makers and butchers. With humble, refined menus rooted in tradition and authentic flavors that go beyond the expected to offer a deeper exploration of Southern cuisine, we're a place where you can expect slow food, proper whiskeys and genuine hospitality.

    The server was curt and rushed us to entire meal even though the restaurant was not full. I think he was more concerned with getting off. We won’t be back.

    A friend and I had brunch here today and it was less than stellar. never ate here before and since I live locally, I wanted to try it. I ordered scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes/sausage. Specifically asked for "soft" eggs and to make sure they were not "hard". they came out hard! potatoes were over salted and not very crispy. Biscuit was too hard on the outside as it if were day old. my friend had eggs benedict and could not figure out what was on the muffin. turns out it was mushy pork belly bacon, hardly edible. We left most of the meal on the plate but the server never questioned if there was a problem when she came to clear. will not go back as there are many other choices.

    Person who seated us had attitude and made comments because we were 3 minutes early. Said 3 minutes means a lot in the restaurant business. First attempted to seat us at a window, then changed his mind , telling us that table was for a "regular" customer. Rather than choosing another window seat in the nearly empty restaurant, he seated us by a wall between windows. Eggs were perfect, bacon did not remotely resemble bacon. Potatoes were tasteless. Waitress was excellent. It was no problem, I simply won't return or recommend this establishment to anyone.

    Food tasted fresh. Service was prompt. It was great the restaurant called to confirm my reservation especially noting about my note on needing a high chair. We were accommodated nicely.

    Music was too loud and took away from the experience. The food was decent but quite salty. They tried too hard to sell their whiskey.
