Came in for an early dinner on a Monday. Not too busy, no wait. Our server Brandon was prompt and friendly. I had fish tacos that were very fresh and tasty. Their garlic aioli sauce is some of the best I've ever had. My friend had the calypso chicken sandwich. Came out hot tendar and juicy. Their fries were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. We also shared the banana pudding, it was so good, the cinnamon is a great addition to it! We would definitely visit again when in the area.

We go 3 to 5 times a week for lunch. There's very many regulars in there the food is always outstanding the customer service is the best anywhere.

We only found this place a few weeks ago, after living on Amelia Island for 4 years. First we had lunch..it was great. Now we have eaten there several times for dinner. Sea food is all local.. the best. the specials are very good. The Shrimp and Grits gets 5 stars as does the Lasagna. The Chicken Salad is amazing. A real loyal, local clientele.

We have lived on the South end of Amelia Island for 12 years. Never knew about KP'S. What a great surprise... Lunch was great, our guest really enjoyed it, and Dillion, our Server added to the experience.

Why drive to the north of the island for ice cream, just order Brownie a la Mode at KP's

Put simply, I would have rather gone to chili's....Service was fair, only two waitstaff working the bar and the entire floor so I'll cut them some slack. Our server was talking about his other job at an auto parts store so kudos to him for being a hard worker.Spinach/artichoke dip had a weird consistency (maybe canned artichokes?) and was served with Tostitos Scoops. Yes. You read that right. It also came with some of the house bread that was toasted to hell and back with an entire shaker of garlic seasoning. I love garlic, and it was too much and I about broke a tooth biting into the crust.My wife's turkey club was nothing to write home about, although the fries were awesome.I observed a single steak meal on the menu, with the option of Filet Medallions or ribeye. I mean there's like a dozen steak houses on the island so I understand not trying to compete there, but 2 options? Plus they didn't even have the medallions. Ribeye for me then! It was less than a half inch thick and cooked unevenly (I ordered med. rare). Starch of the day was cheesy potatoes with brown gravy. So salty I couldn't take more than a bite.I did thoroughly enjoy my cucumber salad, which was well marinated and served over spinach.The banana pudding was brownish which although not an issue is still unappealing, and there was copious amounts of cinnamon added. Who adds cinnamon to a simple banana pudding?So.... Get the cucumber salad and french fries? ?

The high rating may be because the choices are not that many around here. Not bad but it is just a normal local place. The sandwiches are the best part so choose one of those and stay away from the stir fry.

Great food, good atmosphere, quick service, pleasant staff. Absolutely the best place to eat on the island!

What a fantastic little find. Obviously appreciated by locals as the restaurant was full of them.My husband and I dropped in for lunch. Don't pass by the shrimp and grits when it is on the menu, Best I Have Ever Had!! My husband had house salad with the addition of fish which was a large portion of fresh ,delicious flounder.Will definitely be back, all the food coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic, and the staff was extremely hard working and attentive.A Find!

I had the ribeye sandwich and my wife had the crab cake flounder. Both were absolutely amazing. Service was fantastic as well. If we were locals this would be our go-to.
