   Celebrated our 4 year anniversary at this restaurant! Very busy, had to wait a bit for a reserved table, but the food was definitely worth the wait!!! Cannot express how delicious and well balanced eat dish was and seasoned absolutely perfectly! Would 10/10 recommend👏 we ordered the fried catfish and grits with a side of greens and a grilled lobster tail with a side of Mac n cheese. 😋

   We were traveling to Chicago for my fiancé‘s birthday weekend, so I made reservations two weeks before hand. We arrived 20 minutes earlier before our scheduled time so I figured that we would probably be seated closer to the reservation time since it was crowded. An hour later, after witnessing several individuals who came in after us being seated before hand, one of the hostess looked up and said that we had been standing there for a while so she would go to find us a table. When she came back, she took us to the back of the facility, and had us on a couch in the middle of the dining area, telling us to wait 5 minutes while she got a table cleaned up. While sitting there a man came and sat near us at another couch and started to look at us funny while he took a personal call. Turns out he was the owner. While waiting, One of the other hostesses had said to me when I asked if the restaurant did anything for peoples birthdays, that I just needed to ask the waiter, and he would do something. Once we sat down at our table, I mentioned to the waiter that it was my fiancé‘s birthday and asked if they did anything for birthdays, and he said no, they do not, They are still trying to figure out what exactly to do. This would’ve been fine except for the fact that every so often the music would change, and the waiters would start joining around other tables and wishing people happy birthdays, and singing to them with treats. The food was great, but the hour long wait, even with the reservation and our waiters obvious lie Will not make this a restaurant for us to try again

   A friend and I celebrated his birthday at K&K, for it was his first K&K experience. We were pleased with the atmosphere, the music selections, the decor, the personalities of the employees, the food was delicious flavorful and not salty. The service was outstanding! Thank you for being a positive asset to our celebration!

   Unfortunate to have my first time here during Restaurant Week, be ruined by them running out of waffles (and eggs) for their chicken & waffle entree that was one of 3 main entrees for the prefix lunch. The waitress we had was fantastic, but to have another server just come out with 3 plates of chicken with no waffles like that was ok....didn't sit well. The proper response would have been to offer another entree. Our waitress and one of the Managers eventually got our meal together and offer a discount on our meal, but I know that I will probably not revisit.

    Arrive early to avoid the wait. Reservations is recommended. I went during brunch. Ordered the omelet, deviled eggs, chicken and waffles, grits and potatoes. Everything was good excepts for the grits. Would definitely come back. They do not sell coffee. I would like to see that as an option on the menu.

    Off the bat, I noticed that the dress code was not equally enforced. When we walked in, there were a lot of people hanging around and there were several hosts talking amongst each other. No one greeted us except for the security guard who patted us down. Initially, our server was friendly and attentive. The gumbo took awhile to get to our table, but we were understanding because it did seem like a busy night for them. However, as the night went on our serve took longer to check in on us and bring us our food. The jerk chicken noodle soup was very salty, so much to the point that I couldn't enjoy it. Once our entrees finally arrived, we had been there for at least an hour. I ordered the Southern Style Fried Chicken, at best it tasted like KFC. The chicken was juicy and tender, but there was nothing unique about the flavor and it definitely wasn't worth $59, It took at least another hour to get our dessert and by that point I started looking for another waiter to flag down. We had to remind our waiter twice to refill our water and since the place was abnormally hot, we were sweating and very thirsty. We were at the restaurant for three hours, not by choice. When we finally got the bill, the waiter had the audacity to hover over me as I signed even though 20% tip was already included and the service was poor. We spent close to $300 and the food was from worth it. The place seems like a great bar to get a drink with some friends to celebrate a birthday, but I definitely wouldn't go there for dinner.

    I want to thank the entire staff for a great date night and dining experience. Our waiter was Nicolas and he was working hard and we understood. Did a good job with explaining the menu and suggestions. We came for restaurant week. A shout out to Laloni who brought food to the table when Nicolas was busy. She has an awesome personality. Definitely leadership/trainer material. Also to Candance(sp) manger for checking on us to make sure everything is was living up to expectations. We had a small issue with the bill but she took care of it in a polite and professional way. We will definitely be back. Great time.

    The server was horrible, she took our order and never returned we ordered appetizers but didn’t get them until we got our meal. Everything came out together 45-50mins later. When everyone near us that came after us had gotten their food. We had to notify the manager.

    My friend and I tried their Restaurant Week menu. We both had catfish with a side of Mac & Cheese. The catfish was okay but the Mac and Cheese was absolutely delicious!!! It’s a must try. The appetizer Dream Eggs, deviled eggs topped with blackened shrimp was also very good. They have great cocktails that are a bit pricey but worth the money. Our server Tiffany was GREAT!! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, our dining experience on a early Thursday evening was very pleasant.

    Based on the music and the pungent smell in the early afternoon they cater to a certain clientele which makes for an uncomfortable dining experience. I will not be back. We couldn't enjoy our food took everything to go.

    Ordered from the restaurant week menu. Fried Cauliflower, Fried Catfish and banana pudding. Fried Cauliflower was delicious and well seasoned. Fried Catfish was salty but cooked well. They didn't have any banana pudding. Nor did they have any white wine. Service was okay. This place is trendy, decor is fun.They missed the mark on the food and drink offerings. Extremely over rated. Will not return.

    Upon entering we informed that we had a reservation. The hostess checked us in and informed that we were a bit early and there would be about a 15 minute wait. Then security came over to us and informed that he would need to search us. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that you needed to be searched to eat at a restaurant. After we were searched:-( we proceeded to go to the bar where all the seats were filled. There was very loud music playing. I couldn’t believe how loud the music was. I couldn’t hear my partner speak over the music. It was more conducive of a club environment than a restaurant with a bar, or any one I have gone too. After waiting for nearly 30 minutes I went to the hostess again and asked when we would be seated. She stated that once a seater comes back that they would seat us. 10 minutes later we were seated at a dirty table that I wiped with my hand once we got seated. We then waited again for 10 minutes while seated and no one came to say anything to us. No waitress, no drinks, or anything. I asked my partner if they wanted to stay and they stated that we should probably go. We got up and put on our coats and left. The seater that seated us minutes earlier informed us to have a good night. I guess she hasn’t recognized us from minutes earlier… what a shame! However the food looked good that was on the plates of other people. We really wanted to try this spot but I guess it wasn’t in the cards.

    This place will dazzle those who do it for the gram and the top. But not for an intimate quiet meal. The drinks were expensive but it was also a heavy pour. The catfish was excellent as well as the candied yams.

    I was expecting a more upscale environment and ambiance than we experienced. This would be an ideal date night establishment if there was an enforced dress code after 6 or 7pm. The music selection was good but the volume made it difficult to even have a conversation at your table. I wish more attention to flavor and detail would be put into the menu items. The food was okay but some items were definitely over cooked.
