    I’ve been to K+K twice. The first time was because of all the hype. The second time was to bring friends for the experience…. the atmosphere is fun in terms of the music and feeling like you’re in a day club; the wait staff was very accommodating and friendly!! Both times, the food was just OK, but not fantastic or great. Both times the food was much too salty. The best way to describe K+K is this is a club that serves food vs a restaurant with good music. 1. I’m not sure how far the chefs kitchen is from the tables, but by the time all our food (and there were 5 in my party) made it to our table, the temperature of the food was never hot. It was lukewarm at best. 2. Two of us purchased the lamb chop breakfast on the brunch menu… Flavorful, but way too salty and severely overcooked from what we requested. One of us ordered them medium rare, and I ordered mine medium….both were well done. We casually mentioned this to our waitress, who took it upon herself to say, let me take this back to the kitchen and fix it for you. She was outstanding! I’ve  given this place two chances and I won’t be back. When a restaurant charges the prices that they do for their food, then the taste/temperature/quality should all be on point. Granted their drink prices are WAY over the top too expensive, but people having a good time jammin to great beats will tend to pay more for their drinks (average drink price is $20-25) and K+K is capitalizing on this. For the prices they charge, where is someone from management walking around making sure the customer is enjoying their food?!! Another complete miss. 🤦🏾‍♀️👎🏾

    We had a blast being my moms first time here! It’s a birthday celebration for her she turned 82. I was a bit disappointed because NO ONE acknowledged her for her birthday there. No dessert, nothing, not a happy birthday NOTHING! The table next to us, we happen to be black and my husband and i frequent your place…the white people next to us got complimentary shots of frozen margs and it was never offered to us! I thought it was a fluke when it didn’t happen for my birthday, or anniversary in August, at least we got sample shots back then but no acknowledgment for my birthday. I was sadden to see it didn’t happen for my mom when other restaurants treated her like a VIP! I’d like to see your spot do something or at least acknowledge celebrations. Otherwise my mom did enjoy the food and lamb chops! 🥹

    It was my first time ever dining with this restaurant since I know they are in a couple states. When I arrived I was greeted immediately and sat. I did not have to wait and I was about 15 minutes early to my reservation. My friend experienced trouble parking but the waitress was very patient with me and allowed me to sample liqour while I waited. Once my friend arrived, she also offered her samples. She gave us recommendations on what to eat so we ordered everything she suggested. The music was perfect. Even other servers helped us out when they saw they could. 10/10 experience. I will be returning and/ or trying the restaurant in a different state.

    My table was abandoned for more than 20 minutes at a time and the ticket was incorrect. I was told the menu was wrong all for the waitresses to later admit she made the mistake. The seats need to be shampooed they are very dirty..not going back

    If you are looking for Southern comfort food - look no further! Food was delicious. We had Southern fried chicken and waffles. Just the right amount of spice, waffles were light and fluffy. Blackened Salmon filet with sweet potato fries. Delicious! Drinks were unique and amazing.

    Nice friendly staff, everyone smiles or speaks. Were we were seating it’s was freezing 🥶 cold. No other seats to accommodate us (5). Music 🎼 is way overly LOUD Food was good Lamb chops to much spice not cooked as I requested didn’t wanna complain read previous review about that. Didn’t end well. CRAB CAKE THEE BEST I EVER HAD🥰🥰🥰 Fried Cauliflower, greens, yams excellent. It’s something to certainly try. Drinks were also really good.

    Manager Ryan was rude put my group of 4 out during my bday celebration due to the fact one of the guest complained about the food being too salty which it was. So to compensate he gave her a crab cake she didn’t ask for. Then sent security to have us escorted out. Food was way too salty. Overrated…

    I ordered a peach Dusse. I was never told that you no longer have the small bottle. I told the waitress it was too large and I would not be able to finish it. The security/ bouncer told me they could not seal it for me. I gave me drink to the table next to me. A different security person ran down the block and across the street to accuse me of taking open liquor. He requested to look in my bags. It was insulting and humiliating. We went back to the restaurant and I was given a togo drink. I was in the process of making reservations for my family and I but I have changed my mind.

    I’ve been coming to K+K since the opening. Overall experience has gone downhill. Was seated overall an hour after my reservation time. Multiple tables came long after my group and was seated before us. It almost happened again until one hostess reminded the other that we were waiting before she gave our table away again. Took 30 min to get waters at the table. My alcohol drink never came. My fried lobster tail was over breaded and soggy. Some items were good some were bad but overall the experience and food has gone downhill. Disappointed.

    Food was great, service was great! The vibe in the building was awesome and energetic. Only complaint was the music was too loud and me and my guest couldn’t hold a conversation for not being able to hear one another. The DJ was good. But i guess we should just shut up and eat the amazing food! Who needs conversation when the food good. Lol.

    This was our 2nd time at Kitchen & Kocktails Dallas! This time we decided to do brunch. We were immediately sat for our reservation and greeted with a very warm welcoming smile by Deja!! She was EVERYTHING!!! Attentive! Thoughtful! And very knowledgeable! She brought us sample drinks of the dusse peach frośe! DELICIOUS!! I had questions about the menu she made amazing recommendations and even brought other sauces that she knew paired well with my meal!! She was RIGHT!!! If y’all ever at kitchen & Kocktails ask for DEJA!!! Also if you get the jerk chicken make sure you get the Asian Hennessy glaze sauce on the side!… if you get Deja like I’m telling y’all too she gone bring it!!

    Went for our first time & it was amazing! The drinks were strong but delicious. I had the pasta and it was soooo good. They played old r&b songs that I had completely forgot about & also played todays hits. We left and I immediately called my mom and told her k&k is a place she would definitely have to try out. Overall great experience and our waitress was so helpful giving us recommendations on dishes she’s tried.

    Went here for my mothers birthday and it was fabulous! Just the best service and recommendations it was so much fun! $450 after the trip for 6 people who all got drinks and entrees, sides and shared one app. I would go here again for the drinks and apps along although the shrimp and grits, jerk chicken, fried chicken and lobster Mac and cheese were to die for! The black magic drink was amazing as well!

    🙄👎🏽Everyone seems to rant and rave about this restaurant but I was not impressed. It felt more like a club with food than a restaurant with music. Our waiter was nice but he seemed overwhelmed with his responsibilities and the service was very slow in the beginning. We were there about 90 to 100 minutes and it took at least 45-50 minutes for one drink to be ready from the bar. The food was nothing I would write home about, especially for the price I paid; in fact, I have no desire to go there again and I’m a person to frequent the same restaurant often/multiple times when the food is good. We had a table for two and were charged 20% gratuity; I don’t recall any notice or warning of this type of charge for tables of two (I’m used to a sign being posted or something being stated on the website or at the very least the wait staff telling us) so we essentially gave a mediocre waiter a $25 tip on top of $40 gratuity. Needless to say I won’t be going there again.

    I was excited to finally make to it K + K! The vibe was on point. The service and food, not so much. If you ordered signature disk (catfish + grits) you were happy. If you ordered a basic meal (eggs + bacon, grits)...you were NOT happy!! The team 1) could not understand how to make scrambled eggs with cheese; 2) did not get it that I did not want a glob of cheddar put on top of already hard "baked" eggs was the answer. The young waitress was too obsessed with the crowd coming in/out to really give a sh*t about what I wanted or ordered. Brunch for 2 - $120..... pass for next time!
