Former King-N-I Space at 847 Upshur St, NW to Become a Sit Down Restaurant and Lounge in Petworth
847 Upshur St, NW
I’m not gonna pretend to understand what happened to the King-n-I that was located at 847 Upshur St, NW. But the closure might be a blessing in disguise. I spoke with one of the new owners who shares great news. The space is being completely gutted and while it will still feature a large bar there will also be a proper sit down area including a lounge area with tvs showing sports. At the moment the plans are to name the restaurant simply – “Good Food”. It will feature “good soul food.” They still have to apply for permits, as well as a liquor license, so it will likely be a few months before they open. Stay tuned.

Early this week they dumped a ton of restaurant stuff on the sidewalk – not a good start for the new owners.
Has the place switched owners again? Loved King & I when it first opened and featured falafel but didn’t go back after the ownership changed & they took the Greek food off the menu.
I welcome another sit-down restaurant in this area, and hope the food really is as good as the name implies (and moderately priced). And I especially hope ther service is better than Domku’s!
another sit down place would be a great addition to the neighborhood. its exciting to see things slowly but surely improving on Petworth and GA avenue!
Yay! Looking forward to a new place on Upshur Row!
Menu to feature seafood ‘n’ things, maybe?
Sounds promising!! Who doesn’t like good food? I hope it has a nice atmosphere and vegetarian options.
Now this is definitely excellent news—much better than an Olive Garden, IMHO, but I should save that for a different post.
Sounds like a great plan that will appeal to the whole neighborhood…I welcome a place that can be both a family friendly restaurant and a late night bar spot, as an alternative to Domku & Island Cafe. DC Reynolds almost nails it but skews towards the grown ups. Something like Highlands Cafe would be awesome.
