"Come early if you've got a hankering for the sweet Southern soul food this family-owned establishment dishes up. Whatever the crowded pair of dining rooms lacks in space and elegance is made up for in the quality (and quantity) of down-home cooking...."

"Eat there during dinner hours on just about any night and you've likely stood at the bar to pass the time waiting for a table. But the towering wooden bar and its Southern-inspired cocktails are worth checking out as a destination in themselves. On this d..."

"Good Southern cooking is such a novelty in Seattle that the three sisters who own and operate Kingfish are local celebrities. Here you can get a good po'boy with green tomatoes, fried chicken, pulled pork, scrumptious crab cakes, and, of course, sweet pot..."

"Patrons have been lining up outside this sleek café for fried chicken, catfish, gumbo and grits ever since the Coaston sisters opened the door in 1997. The sisters raided the family scrapbooks and lined the rough, cream-colored walls with blown-up sepia..."

"Kansas City ribs, griddled catfish, crab cakes and the very popular buttermilk fried chicken with collard greens can warm up the soggiest Seattle evening, and don't be put off by the precious names: dig into Miss Choo Choo's Company's Comin' Rib Eye or Ki..."

"A couple months ago, Meredith, a reader of this blog, sent me the following email: "I love reading your blog, but I'm surprised that you've never mentioned the excellent King Fish Cafe on 19th Ave E.   It has some of the best Southern food I've..."

"There’s comfort food, and then there’s Kingfish—no other café in town quite understands how much buttermilk coating a piece of fried chicken needs to be sufficiently garbed. Boasting an elegant Southern down-hominess, Kingfish buzzes with Capitol Hill dev..."

"The Kingfish Cafe has a sweet Southern accent, serving huge portions of satisfying fare for more than 10 years. Sisters Laurie and Leslie Coaston's reputation is far-reaching, drawing diners willing to wait for a table in the comfortably funky venue...."

"Since opening in 1996, this funky-chic cafe has been a hit, complete with a line out the door, even during full-on rainstorms. That's because the Kingfishers recognize that Southern food should be soul food, not a gourmet experience...."

"From the day it opened its doors to do business, the lines into Kingfish have never diminished. People still wait, often for an hour during the weekends, to eat its fancy soul foods, and absorb its atmosphere of jazz and black American prosperity...."

"The Kingfish Cafe, located on 19th Ave E in Capitol Hill, is included in Seattle guidebooks for good reason. Not too expensive, yet the food is delicious, the portions generous, and the atmosphere cozy...."

"The sweet chatter and long lines streaming out of this quiet storefront on the eastern slope of Capitol Hill are a bit jarring. But, the Coaston sisters' urban soul food lets locals experience a real down-home time...."
