Best WLM Reviews

Food was good. First time there and was treated as if I was a regular. Collards and the fried fish were perfected. The sweet tea was good, I felt the pink lemonade was a tad too sweet but you're expected to become a diabetic with high cholesterol when you eat in the south. Will return when in the area.
Staying in the area and wanted some real bbq for a birthday dinner. So after a good bit of research, we landed in this place based on the reviews. Didn’t look fancy & the food reviews sounded great. We’ve ate a lot of bbq and we’re looking forward to it. Unfortunately…we arrived around 5:30pm and didn’t realize they might run out of meats so soon into the dinner time. So they had a full rack of ribs left, which we took. Also tried out the fried okra, baked beans, and collards. We missed out on the mac n cheese which I definitely wanted to try & will get next time. We also got a pork chop dinner in case the ribs weren’t enough for both of us (but we ended up taking them home - they looked delicious). The waitress and the owner were super helpful and friendly as it was our first time there. Our food came out quickly and was hot. Have to say - we LOVED the ribs. I usually prefer baby back ribs - but these were amazing. Meaty, tender and their bbq sauce is SPOT ON. Not too sweet, not too spicy. Probably some of the best ribs and sauce we’ve tried -even after traveling thru Texas. We didn’t try the other sauce option - mustard based. The sides were all super yummy - but the collards - oh my - the BEST we’ve had we both agreed. We ordered some extra to take home. Dining area was tidy & comfy chairs. We will definitely be back - a bit earlier next time so we can try some other options before they sell out. GET THERE EARLY! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
We just moved to the area and we’re hankering for some good BBQ. Wow! We were not disappointed. Ribs were so flavorful we didn’t need sauce and the collards and cornbread were spot on. Will be back
Fantastic BBQ! On the way home from a sisters and mom vacation we wanted BBQ so we stopped at BBQ King for a quick lunch. The food was down home excellent food and very affordable! The pulled pork, baked beans, collards, and Mac and cheese were ON POINT! We will definitely be back on our way to and from PCB!
This place by far has the best bbq pulled pork sandwich ive had hands down in Dothan and ive tried them all . 5 stars!!! #uber_grace .
Food was quite good my problem was that my order was wrong. I take responsibility for not checking before I left. I ordered rib and chicken only had chicken????. Collard greens, Mac was delicious and the Catfish sandwich o yeah
The absolute best barbecue in the area. Arguably the best ribs I’ve had anywhere. I normally don’t like to order ribs when I’m out because it’s such a hit or miss with places, but Kings Knocks it out of the park. The pork is really good as well. The collard greens are probably the only collard greens other than my own that I like to eat. If you haven’t been here, definitely stop by.
This is a long one but I want to explain the ratings clearly.
I'd heard good things and decided to try EXACTLY what I heard was delish. So, I called in an order for Beef Rib Tips with Collards and Potato Salad..
I took a note that the person taking the order didn't give a total, a time expectation or read back the order... They just said Okay after getting my name, and hung up.
Any other person may've took that as a Red flag but I understand when it's busy decorum can be short AND sometimes when the food is great, they no longer need decorum at all (and we accept it happily).
This place needs it. They need it bad.
I'm going to preface this review with a quick "read my bio" because, for me, if the customer service sucks, the food better be amazing, and it ain't.
I arrive to pickup and note that there's a few tables eating in but overall not crazy busy. My order with my name on it is sitting at the pick-up station and there's a worker (with her back to me) on the phn taking a order.
I stood there for 10mins while 3 other workers walked right by me repeatedly and or stood and looked at me and NO ONE said a word. Not a "She'll be right with you". Not a "have you been helped". Not a "give us one moment, ma'am".
Nothing. And it wasn't that they were busy working. They were mostly mulling around and, at one point, sitting.
10 mins and I'm literally looking at my order and waiting.
Then, when the phn worker gets done with the call, she does not say a word to the person standing right behind her. Instead, she walks over and begins to put another carry out order together. She takes it over to a gentleman who was sitting at a table and takes his payment because why hadn't he paid? Once he's out the door, THEN I suppose I was no longer invisible and she asks if I need to place an order.
All that said, when I got home I realized I had Macaroni & Cheese instead of Collards...
Had to call and go back to get them.
The review:
Not impressed. The Rib tips seemed a bit overcooked for me but not bad tasting. I'm never one to say my palate is pristine but this tasted like regular pork ribs to me and beef just doesn't taste like pork in my world. The cuts were messy....but yall can see the picture.
The Collards were not may fave. There was a smokiness in there that I wasn't a huge fan of. The potato Salad was solid tho(which is hard to do). I tried the Mac & cheese just to review it. It should be called Cheese and Mac because never in my life would I think I could believe there was too much cheese in a Mac & Cheese.... This one has literally more cheese than Macaroni noodles. Too much for me.
Overall, I'm good on BBQ King. But maybe the name should change to BBQ Squire or BBQ Prince...? He maaaaay be playing higher than his rank????
