One of my wife’s and my most favorite restaurants in Seattle. Amazing menu of Southern Creole/Cajun food. All the dishes combine rich flavors and textures that compliment each other perfectly. Staff is warm and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and lively all at once. Truly one of Seattle’s hidden treasures.
Tip: Get there a little early to be seated with the first rush, otherwise you’ll have to wait (it’s worth it).
Lunch menu is different and also great!
Catfish pattie with spicy sauce, collared greens and cornbread. To die for.
Most delicious, spicy, Mac and Cheese casserole and green salad, period. Very filling!
One bite and you’ll be hooked. Everything is handmade. The shortcake and whipped cream are amazing. This thing is huge, so be sure to eat with friends or family!

I went to the Kingfish Cafe recently and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I ate frequently at this cozy little restaurant on 19th when it first opened, and the food or presentation isn’t as good as it used to be. Maybe it was a fluke, but 10 years ago, the food and presentation was always great.
A definite plus is that they have some half-priced bottles of wine on Tuesday nights. The wine we had, an Italian wine, was delicious, and complimented the meal well and only cost $15!
I had the Simply Griddled Catfish. Even though the catfish was great, the spicyness of the collard greens really overpowered the rest of the food on the plate. The grits were also overcooked.
The one thing that has not degraded in quality was the strawberry shortcake! Even though it costs $10.00, there was no skimping and the flavor was undeniably amazing! I will just say that the strawberry shortcake itself could easily replace the definition for the word motherload.
The collard greens were too spicy, the grits were a bit too soggy, but the catfish was pretty good.
The portions were a lot smaller, but they were pretty good. The sauce for these guys were really good.
Like I said… the motherload. I’ve never eaten anything more decadent, fresh, or delicious! Instead of sweetening the whip cream with sugar, I think they use maple syrup or honey drizzled over the whole thing to sweeten the whip. Incredible… Easily the best dessert in all of Seattle.

One of my favorites in Seattle, especially the fried chicken salad at lunch (boneless fried chicken breast over greens with ranch dressing, with a surprise scoop of mashed sweet potatoes hidden at the bottom); amazing strawberry shortcake when it’s in season. Mmmmm.
The atmosphere is casual dining, service is prompt and courteous and occasionally truly friendly.
