We went to Kim's for lunch. Food was good but service was a bit clunky. I had the fish sandwich. We had a couple orders of the shrimp cocktails and a burger and fries. The vinegar fries were pretty good. The pricing was excellent and very fair for the amount of food served. Service was slow even though the restaurant was about 20%full. The atmosphere was that of a diner. Would probably try the restaurant again.

Have eaten here twice within a weeks time while in the Morganton area on storm restoration duty. This restaurant has a terrific family owned and operated atmosphere, food is cooked perfectly, and the wait staff are professional and courteous. I’ve had the combo plate and also the haddock and fried oysters. This is a good place to have a good fresh cooked meal any night of the week. Good job Kim’s!

Ordered the grouper fingers appetizer, and it was more like a meal. The oyster po'boy was great with plenty of oysters . The Louisiana potatoes were hot and flavourful. Look forward to our next visit.

Great seafood in the area and generally had some good delicious options. Fried chicken tenders were very stiff and “rubbery” and the BBQ sauce was nasty in mine and my sister opinion and the fries were pretty basic but Popcorn shrimp was yummy and hushpuppies were very good! Slaw was white slaw so it was good imo. The staff was very friendly and even though my ordered got delayed due to a mix up they handled it very kindly. Service was great! Will come again :)
