Poor Boys - (Near Kingston upon Thames, South East)

4 /5 Dev: One of our favourite spots in Kingston for the best mac & cheese. The staff are always friendly and the food is incredible. The restaurant itself is a little on the small side and can feel slightly crammed, but it’s definitely worth it for the quality.

4 /5 Iva B.: We had the fried chicken Poor Boy, the Beef Brisket Poor boy and the jalapeno poppers. Can confidently say the Jalapeno poppers were smashing and one of the best I’ve had! The Fried Chicken Poor Boy was definitely good and lived up to the hype so I would recommend that too. What I unfortunately cannot recommend was the brisket poor boy, as the meat was cold and lacked flavour, and due to the huge chunks of it, quite hard to eat due to the texture. The place is certainly very popular so expect at the very least 10 mins wait time around a standard meal time, and they only take walk-ins, no reservations. We got a table fairly quick despite the lines as we opted for the empty outside tables, which really wasn’t the arctic as they do have outdoor heaters so if you don’t mind braving a little cold, and would fancy a shorter wait time then an outside table is the way to go. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was also done fairly quickly. I would be happy to be back :)

5 /5 Rachael Murray: The food choice here was exceptional!! Love a good southern USA comfort meal. Everyone tried different food and it was all delicious. The hot honey sauce over fried chicken was scrumptious. The frozen Fanta is a bit overpriced for what it is. Staff was lovely, just know there is a 12.5% optional service charge they add on to the bill (you can ask to remove it but it’s like tipping).

5 /5 Eleasha OConnor: We had an amazing experience at Poor Boys Kingston! The food was incredible and the service was exceptional! Renz not only made us feel welcome but made us feel like we were old friends. His service was very attentive and full of genuine care, making sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying the food. Despite the restaurant being busy, this didnt impact the quality of service or the speed that our food was delivered. We highly recommend Poor Boys. Thank you Renz!
