King's Barbecue is a sit-down barbecue restaurant in Petersburg, Virginia.[1][2]

History

[edit]

In 1946, brothers John and Clinton King took over the business of their former employer, Alford's Barbeque, and christened it King's. They adopted the sauce of Alford's, which had also been purchased by C. F. Sauer Company.[3]
