King's Seafood Company is a mid-sized restaurant group based in Costa Mesa, California, with roots dating back to 1945 when the founders began building restaurants. The company owns and operates six concepts across five states, totaling 23 locations, including King's Fish House, Water Grill, Pier Burger, and the steakhouses 555 East, Lou & Mickey’s, and Meat on Ocean. The menus across these brands are refreshed daily, and the group emphasizes elevated seafood and steakhouse dining. It sources from local fishermen and lobstermen, handpicking and supplying the highest-quality products to its own restaurants. In May 2026, Kelly Ellerman was appointed President and COO, marking a leadership transition. The company targets guests seeking premium dining experiences and relies on long-standing supplier relationships to support its supply chain.
