   Just ok nothing spectacular, should have been leery with reservations available the day before Easter. Eggs were not cooked as specified. Potatoes were decent. One and done…

   We enjoyed our meal. The food was farm to table. I would recommend it for breakfast.

   The waiter spoke little English and didn’t understand most of what we asked and ordered. One meal came with toast and he never brought out any butter or jam or offered. He also never offered dessert or came to check on how the food was that we did order. One order was a basic plate of eggs, crispy potatoes, bacon and toast. The potatoes were overdone, the bacon was a full slab of bacon half cooked and the toast was overdone and cold. Very disappointing.

   My party had a wonderful experience dining at King & Rye tonight. The vibe was clean and casual, decor modern. Our server was extremely congenial and attentive without being obtrusive. Our food was admittedly simple- three of the four members of our party ordered smash burgers. They were very happy with the size (they were not overly hungry and these were normal-people sized smash burgers, not disgustingly huge ones), made with good quality products and tasted great. They were very impressed with the homemade tater tots (I tried one, they were great!), essentially creamy mashed potatoes inside a very crispy outside. I had sautéed seasonal veggies with chimicurri sauce. The sauce was exceptionally bland but the veggies were grilled nicely - a touch of salt and pepper cured all woes. Our bill was exceptionally reasonable and we left extremely satisfied. I’d recommend dining there without any reservations.

   The restaurant was too hot. The server was no where to be found. No iced coffee.

   Food was amazing. We had reservations and arrived in time. We asked to sit outside and it seemed like a bother but were were seated rather quickly after they cleaned the table. Waiter came over begrudgingly and took out order. Was disengaged and barely spoke.

   I really wanted to love King and Rye. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was nice—definitely a great spot for a night out. However, my experience was soured when I stepped away to use the restroom and returned to find my belongings had been moved and another group seated at my table. I hadn’t even been there an hour, and I certainly wasn’t finished dining. It was frustrating and disappointing to be treated that way, especially without any communication or courtesy from the staff. Good food doesn’t make up for poor hospitality.

   Thanks for the review, Sherri. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food! However, we're truly sorry to hear about the issue regarding your seating arrangement and the lack of communication from our team. It's certainly not the level of service we strive to provide. We appreciate your feedback and will address this matter promptly. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a more pleasant experience.

   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.
