    From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the hostess. I knew it was going to be a good experience. Our server was incredibly kind and professional. The food was both beautiful to look at and delicious. We are doing dry January and I greatly appreciated the options. I will come back again and again!

    We typically go to dinner at Rooster’s prior to a Bluementhal show. The experience is mostly always good, with the exception of a couple of hiccups. Hiccups are usually addressed by management, so we continue to support. I would recommend Rooster’s for the good food, convenience and ambience.

    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

    The atmosphere here is very luxurious. My wife and I went here for a date night. It feels like an old school speak easy and the cocktails are top notch. I ordered their old fashion and it was made perfectly with the largest clearest ice brick I’ve ever seen!!! My wife and I shared the wagyu sliders and the truffle fries, absolutely amazing and I’m a huge burger and fries guy in my house!! It’s a must go.

    We were a little stressed about the parking situation so when we inquired with the staff at the lobby they offered complimentary valet for up to 3 hrs which was a relief with a toddler. Our food was very tasty and better than I anticipated from the Google reviews - you deserve much higher. We will definitely return the next time we're in the area.
