History
Kings began in North Versailles, Pennsylvania in 1967 as Kings Country Shoppes. This name was later changed to Kings Family Restaurants to indicate the establishment was a restaurant rather than a store. By the 1970s the number of restaurants had grown to 7, and 21 by the 1980s. As of 2006, there were 34 locations throughout Pennsylvania and one in Wintersville, Ohio.
Kings donates to many charity organizations, including the Veterans Leadership Program and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western Pennsylvania.
In July 2009, Kings Restaurants a new restaurant called Kings Hometown Grille. It features a different design and layout, as well as a different menu from most King's locations. Unlike any other locations in the chain, Kings Hometown Grille also offers alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine and cocktails.
In 2015, Kelly Capital purchased the Kings Family Restaurants.
Menu
Kings serves American cuisine, including sandwiches, salads, and burgers. The restaurant also serves ice cream and milkshakes. Kings is also famous for their Frownie Brownies, although the Frownie Brownie was discontinued with the franchise's purchase by Kelly Capital.
Smoking
Kings maintained smoking sections in most of its restaurants until a statewide smoking ban was enacted in Pennsylvania in September 2008.
