Vintage family photos adorn the walls at Kingfish Cafe, a family-owned, upscale soul food eatery in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Long lines and soft jazz streaming from the unassuming storefront are the norm, while inside, the pair of stylish but homey dining rooms are frequently busy as well. Service is distinguished by its Southern charm and hospitality. Buttermilk fried chicken served with buttery mashed potatoes and gravy top the menu, but the classically prepared entrées and sides – tender catfish, fall-off-the-bone barbecue, sweet-and-sour collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and spicy Creole gumbo with cornbread – are all mouthwatering. Desserts are seasonal and should not be missed, nor eaten alone since portions are huge. Try the red velvet cake with buttercream frosting, multi-layered chocolate cake served with two mounds of whipped cream, or the sweet potato pie. Sunday brunch serves fried chicken, grits, succotash, egg tortes and buttermilk griddlecakes. Reservations not accepted. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly. Sat-Sun brunch 10 am-2 pm.
