Kitchen + Kocktails By Kevin Kelley - Chicago

"We had the best time. It was our first time here and everything was wonderful. Tee at the bar made outstanding cocktails. The manager Jada was super sweet and took care of us right away with a really nice table and Shaun our server was amazing. All the food was wonderful. We had the collard green dip and hot chicken. Shrimp and grits and the banana pudding was wonderful. Love the vibe and would go back."

"Dinner was fire! Gumbo was delicious. Lobster Mac n cheese was perfect. Margarita flight was good. Lime was the best. A bit pricey for two pieces of southern fried chicken, but it was seasoned and delicious. Greens were off the chain. Peach cobbler was delicious. I do have to say the photographer trying to sell pictures was rude and obnoxious (3rd party) Shaun M. was helpful and such a pleasure."

"The food was amazing! The environment was very friendly & welcoming. Great customer service, our waiter Danny was an amazing help! He was very guiding and even had us exploring new things on the menu, he also made sure everything was ok with us. The manager, her name was Jayda I believe, she was great!! She was very social with everybody dining making sure everybody was having a good time & we sure did!!"

"Valentine’s Day dinner for two. We had reservations so when we arrived we were seated immediately which was refreshing because we did see people waiting when we walked in. Service was good, drinks were pricey and very sweet. Wait time for food was between 45-60 mins but again it was Valentine’s Day so we weren’t upset by it, but you see and smell the waiters passing with food, you can’t help but want it to be your food. Lol. The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I loved everything.Pork chops were crispy and favorable, Mac n cheese was perfect, collard greens amazing, the southern egg rolls had me in a chokehold ( I need them again). I had the banana pudding for dessert. It was okay, but I think banana pudding is one of those desserts that people have a preference of cookie, texture and sweetness so I’d still recommend it if you’re open to trying different styles banana pudding. Another plus, I think they have valet, with did spot hero but something to consider in the future. Only not so perfect thing was the drinks if I’m completely honest."

"Got there around 4:45 PM, Fatima was nice ! I decided to sit at the bar. Cam took my food and drink order. It was happy hour until 7 pm. I tried the trio sampler which included three lamb chops, 2 shrimp topped deviled eggs, and a crab cake. The crab cake was not full of filler and breadcrumbs, it was mostly crab meat. I ordered my lamb chops medium, but they came out more well. It was absolutely fine though bc they were nice & tender still. Base of the chop near the bone was fatty. Shrimp deviled egg was cool. I also tried the greens and sweet potatoes. I enjoyed the sides as well. There were some Noticeable temp differences for me though - like my yams were super super hot , but my lamb was just luke warm. My bill was $120 including gratuity. There’s much more affordable menu options available though. Nice ambiance & good service. They also play great music. I would def visit again & try some other menu options."
