After meandering around the vast Tempe Market Place at noon I was ready to settle for Red Robin until I noticed a large free standing King's Fish House. I parked and looked up to notice it had been established in 1945 and thought the name had a familiar ring. After being seated in a large booth I discovered why the name had a familiar ring. The waitress told me the original was in Long Beach and then remembered I had celebrated one of my birthdays in Long Beach with the CA crew. As I recall I had some very good wild king salmon on that birthday. It was a little warm so asked for a center booth to look around the inside. Picking a draft beer was made especially easy with Kiltlifter on tap. On the far upper right of the large menu of the day I spotted about a dozen types of "fresh" fish on the lunch menu varying from $13 to $20. I asked how fresh the fish was and was told it was shipped in daily from CA. One that stood out was Australian "Tasmanian Trout" for $16 and asked what it was. The waitress said it was like a salmon and recommended the plank version highlighted in the center of the menu. I made a quick decision and asked for the farm raised "Tasmanian Trout" with sides of spinach and steamed vegetables plus a cup of clam chowder. The clam chowder was very tasty with some actual clams but a fairly small portion. When the plank arrived it was equally divided with hot wilted spinach with olive oil, hot steamed carrots, zucchini, broccoli, green beans and a nice hot lunch portion of what looked like red salmon with a similar texture. The combination was excellent and can see King's will augment and/or replace Red Robin for cod fish and chips and Red Lobster for fire grilled Atlantic salmon.

I hope that "Kim" is okay - after a car wreck/accident as I have known her for MANY years! We go a long way back, & her husband & I are retired from our U.S. Army. She is without a doubt - the BEST seamstress I have encountered around our planet earth! Best wishes to Kim for her post recovery, & being back in the saddle again - to perform her seamstress wonders for all of us! Happy New Year ******* Kim!

These guys are assholes, pieces of shit must of thought it'd be funny to give us insanely spicy sauce when we asked for mild. I love spicy food, but this is just crap. Neither of us can eat this. Karma is a bitch.

How weird. It's a food court with Bojangle's, Dairy Queen, and Donato's. The Morrison Farms Cafeteria is another food option (that's where the cafeteria comes from). I went because I was craving a chicken strip basket from DQ and the employees told me to go somewhere else since they didn't serve it (they should have just told me no DQs serve the chicken baskets and saved me another trip). Anyway, the location is prime in South Park, but the concept is so strange. When does anyone go to a food court that is not in a mall or in a large business office?! Or if this is a cafeteria restaurant, why share the space with other fast food chains?
