Knightdale Seafood and BBQ

We are dinner last night at knightdale seafood and BBQ. I had the hamburger steak with stewed apples and yams and my husband had meatloaf with yams and baked beans. All of our food was great. We also really liked the hushpuppies. Our server was great and kept us in tea :) more

We have the seafood bisque whenever we go here. It is the BEST ever !!!! more

We really enjoy eating here the waitresses are so nice and it is a friendly atmosphere more

Your food is so great and I hope I can come here again soon thank you more

Great service but the food was not great. more

Everything was great. really enjoyed the baby back ribs and flounder more

I especially like the way that all people are treated nice and respectful. No-one is overlooked, first come , first served and I like that attitude more

Great place, love the shrimp scallops and tilapia, but they also have great ribeyes and pork chops. Our server also recommended the fried chicken sandwich for our son one time saying it was a nice size and it definetely was, filled him right up. The servers also never let our drinks get empty which is awesome. Never really had a bad server here they are always are quick to get you everything and always have a smile on their faces. Good food, great portions, nice price. more

Good Service Good Food - Good People Keep Up the good work more

Nothing is fresh or made to order. Vegetables are all canned. Seafood is all frozen (sad, considering how close we are to the coast!). Ribs are disgusting slabs of gristle and fat. Suspect they are not made on site, but came in a bag. Greasy. Overpriced. \r \r If you like your vegetables overcooked and swimming in grease, and your meat bland and fatty, and swimming in grease, and your seafood frozen, and watery, and your food just plain disgusting, I recommend this place. Just be sure to BYOBB (Bring Your Own Barf Bag). more

My son had bought food from the takeout several times and said it was pretty good. So, we took eight family members there yesterday (9/5/2010) for my son's birthday. We were seated immediately. Ordered our drinks; five of us ordered the buffet and three ordered from the menu. The five went through the buffet line, reseated, started eating and finally our iced tea arrived about halfway through eating. The waiter said were were held up by others being in front of us in the ""drink"" cue. When we received the tea, two weren't unsweet as ordered, were taken back and then FINALLY we all had our beverages. The container of sweetners had about 6 packages of assorted sweetners. We had to ask for more sugar and then more artificial sweetner, twice. The three that had ordered from the menu had not received their food 40 minutes after arriving. The rest of us were through eating. My son spoke with the manager and she said it takes 20 minutes to grill a boneless chicken breast. That was 40 minutes into the wait. The lunches were finally brought (then about 45 minutes). The size of the chicken breasts would never ever require 20 minutes to cook. Also, there was no vinegar or hot sauce on any table, as you would find in any BBQ restaurant. They had ONE bottle of hot sauce at the end of the buffet line and that's the only one we saw in the entire restaurant. If you needed to add some, you had to walk back to the buffet line. Very inconvenient. When asked if we needed a tea refill, the waiter leaned ACROSS the table to do this, rather than go behind each person (as should be done) and poured the team. There was room for him to go around the table.\r \r Then, on checkout, my husband paid for all, asked if there was a senior discount (four of us were seniors) and the lady at checkout was abrupt and said they did not. The only senior situation they have going on is a senior plate that contains smaller portions. Great deal, huh?\r \r We will definitely not be returning. This service was really really bad, the food just OK, the prices competitive. As a side note ... my daughter-in-law was given two containers of free banana pudding for the inconvenience. more

Don't eat at Knightdale Seafood and Barbeque. It used to be awesome, but now it's horrible. Steaks that taste bland and like they were frozen, overcooked seafood, and WORST of all the owner has an attitude problem. It's sad because I used to love this place. It has a great atmosphere. Pros: Great fried Okra and kind staff, great atmosphere Cons: Anything meat-related tastes awful, Owner is rude more

The waitress was terrific. I loved the hushpuppies. I had the whole catfish platter with BBQ Beans and stewed cinnamon apples. My wife had the steak salad. I thought the catfish was a little plain. I like a more seasoned breading. My wife liked the steak salad. She would have perferred a creamy garlic dressing, not available here. The cost was probably a tad over average $32.00 with soft drinks and tip. They had the Carolina BBQ which I don't care to acquire a taste for. I was currious how there ribs were prepared. It would be up in the air if I would return again. Other than the hushpuppies there wasn't anything that would draw me back.\r Pros: The Hushpuppies were really tasty. Waitress was very attentive Cons: Nothing that really made it memorable more

I liked K-dale Seafood and BBQ until I learned of the tyranical and unfare way they treat their loyal staff. I will never set foot in there again. Not too mention, the quality of the food has gone way down and the prices has skyrocketed. The owners, Phylis and Larry have gotten lazy and greedy! more

KKnightdale Seafood and Barbecue is not as good as it used to be! My friend and used to go regularly, sometimes at the oyster bar and sometimes seated in the dining room. It was good until about Feb 19. My vegetables tasted like they had been dumped out of a can, nothing else done to them, and they weren't hot. Today (July 24) my friend and I were seated again in the dining area. Our hushpuppies were reheated from lunch, and we sent them back. My chicken pastry was ok, but not nearly as good as the last few times I have had it. Very little chicken. My vegetables were once again that out-of-the can taste, and the waitress verified it saying that's where all of the vegetables came from. Come on! It'summer, use fresh produce or at least frozen. My friend's food was overcooked. I understand there is new management and they are trying to cut costs. Well, they have lost my friend and I as customers from too much lousy food. If I am paying a lot for my food I at least expect it to taste good. New management=lousy food. I will not eat here again. Pros: Most waitresses are consistently prompt and eager to please Cons: food is no lousy more

I read someone's review about the tuna and paying $40. Obviously, a fried greasy spoon type of restaurant won't have the best tuna nor the best preparation for tuna. Go to an upscale seafood restaurant if you want a good tuna steak. Actually, have you tried Winston's? I love their tuna steak! As far as the $40....wow, this person must've had a lot of wine! \r \r Knightdale Seafood and BBQ is a family restaurant. It almost reminds me of a greasy spoon. The fried seafood is really good (and greasy)! The hush puppies are outstanding. The pork BBQ was very good. The fried chicken is good ole home-cookin'. So are the green beans, coleslaw, Brunswick Stew, etc. If you go, get the Family Style. For about $11.00, you can have pork BBQ, fried chicken, green beans, coleslaw, Brunswick Stew, boiled potatoes, and one fried seafood or fish item of your choice....all you can eat. If you have a big hungry family, that's the best way to go. It's very decently priced and the food is pretty good. Be prepared to eat greasy food, bring a couple wet-naps with you, and know what you are getting into before you come. This is southern down-home cookin'. Enjoy! Pros: Great fried southern home cookin' at a great price! Cons: Greasy, but that's what's so good about it. lol more

The menu is varied, from BBQ, seafood, steaks to the BEST Homemade Southern Cooking in East Wake County. They now offer lunch daily specials, several new salads, and catering is a speciality. Service is excellent and staff is friendly and personal. You feel at home here and Phyllis and Larry always give you their best, whether in the restaurant or the oyster bar. This is a local favorite and a pillar in the Knightdale community. Pros: Varied Menu Cons: On Hwy 64, but somewhat hidden by trees more

I went to this restaurant because the good reviews here and also I am living at knightdale. It turns out that this was the first and will be the last time I went there. The food is so poorly prepared. The so call ""oyster soup"" is nothing but some oysters boiled in milk. The tuna is over cooked and tastes like well-done beef. The vegetable is so poorly prepared. I would rather eat at McDonald than go there again! I spent around $40 and with this money I should have bought some seafood and cooked by myself. By the way, this is a family-owned restaurant. Pros: seated promptly Cons: food is terrible more

I recently tried the Oyster Bar at Knightdale Seafood and WOW - this is good stuff. The oysters were delicious and the steamed shrimp beyond words. Not to mention the great staff that shucked our oysters and provided us with excellent service! It was also the first time that I have had a mixed drink there and it to was very good. I would give them a 9.9 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it for those that love steamed oysters and shrimp. Prices were very reasonable too. Pros: Great people working the oyster bar - friendly and courteous, Lots of parking Cons: Can't think of one! more

The best home coooking in the area. The dishes are all made to order. The vegetables are fresh and cooked the way they should be. I have not tried one thing that I did not enjoy at this restaurant. Try family-sized meals as well. Beats Bojangles and/or Hardees. more
