Feast Your Eyes on King City Kitchen!

King City Kitchen is a chef-driven restaurant and craft cocktail bar located in the heart of St. Simons Island. We offer a refined yet approachable take on brunch and dinner, blending elevated coastal cuisine with the charm and warmth of true Southern hospitality. Whether you're joining us after a beach stroll or celebrating a special occasion, our inviting space—with ocean views and a relaxed, coastal atmosphere—is designed to make every guest feel at home.

King City Kitchen is proudly built on the legacy of the Sandcastle restaurant, a beloved institution on the island for over three decades. While we honor the past, our vision is forward-looking: fresh ideas, bold flavors, and a dining experience that reflects both culinary excellence and community connection. Our menu features seasonal, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, hand-crafted dishes like our signature crab cakes, bright Mediterranean-inspired flavors, and modern interpretations of classic Southern fare.

Behind the bar, you’ll find a rotating selection of inventive, house-made cocktails that pair perfectly with our food—and reflect our playful, creative spirit.

More than just a restaurant, King City Kitchen is a place where locals gather, travelers return, and every meal feels like a celebration. Whether you're here for a slow brunch, a romantic dinner, or a private event, we look forward to sharing our table with you.

We’re open weekly for brunch and dinner. Follow us on social media for menus, special events, and updates and join our newsletter club to stay up to date on all our happenings!
