    The front of the house service was a bit disappointing. Despite having a reservation, we still had to wait and no one was able to give us a time on how long the wait would be. They also offered us a seat at the bar to expedite our seating, which was hard no. We got seated within 20-25 minutes of our reservation. Despite all of that, the food and drinks were excellent. It definitely made up for the start of the night. I will go again!

    The server was awesome. The food was amazing but a little pricey. They have a DJ. It is like going to a club not a restaurant the level that they have the music at is annoying. You can’t even have a conversation with the person you are sitting with for dinner because the music is so loud, you literally have to scream over top of the music. I don’t know if I’m in a club or a restaurant.

    My first experience was totally the best. Brandon, the manager, was phenomenal. One of our guests was late for our reservations, and Btandon was extremely patient. Our waitress Amy was "top notch." Very interactive with us, answered all of all questions with such great details. The food was 100. This will definitely be my once a month spot. I live an hour away, but the drive is over worth it. The vibe at K&K is sexy.

    The food was over priced and the quality of the food was not all that great. Servers were great, but the food could be better for the price it is. Overall 5/10

    Over priced and over rated. Decor was tacky and 20% gratuity for each person in which it was myself and my Sister on seperate tickets. Shrimp and grits which contained a bowl of grits + five grilled shrimp and sweet tea was robbery. Fourty-seven dollars if we are being exact. I would NOT recommend.

    Spent my 30th birthday here, love that we were sat down right away. Ambience was great, and food/drinks were great too! I did feel a little rushed to leave, I guess due to other reservations after me, other than that I would recommend for birthdays, date night, and just a night with friends! Music was bomb too!

    The website can us an update. The dress policy didn't meet the level of what we saw SADLY. The Ambiance was nice for picture taking. Pricing of the food was a bit high for quality, though not bad but again a bit $$$$. K&k missed the mark. Its a one and done for me.

    Overall K&K was a good experience . The food was good i had fried green tomatoes and my husband had jerk noodle or rice (can’t remember the exact name ) . dinner i had fish and grits and he had catfish and black eyed peas the food was really good . I will say a 20% tip is included however the service we received from the waitress was most definitely not worth 20% . She was spending too much time at one table (im thinking she may have known them ) We both had it to where our drinks was wrong , our water was not adequately refilled. We had to stop her in passing and I had to ask the manager about our drink being incorrect. We have no problem paying or tipping however the service most definitely should be superb. The managers was really nice though. There was no wait , we actually was seated as soon as we came in. Most definitely try it out for yourself. I will go back again if the opportunity ever presents itself
