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.

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!!

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.

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.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Kitchen + Kocktails Chicago, and Aja made it unforgettable! From the moment we were seated, she brought such positive energy, professionalism, and warmth to our table. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave fantastic recommendations.

Aja checked on us consistently, made sure everything was perfect, and her personality truly elevated our entire dining experience. It’s rare to find service that feels both genuine and top-tier — but Aja delivered exactly that.

If you visit Kitchen + Kocktails Chicago, ask for Aja. She is a true gem and represents the restaurant with excellence! ✨

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.

Walked into this establishment and was greeted with a friendly smile. Was given a tour of the menu and recommendations. I ended up getting the charbroiled Oysters and the Appetizer Trio recommended by Jayda the Manager. 10/10 recommendations. I paired this with what was supposed to be one Old Fashioned, but it turned to two because the bar magician Tee knocked the first one out the park, i had to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. The second almost led to a third ….never mind it just led to a third as i’m writing this review. The music was perfect level. The ambience was great. Will travel back to Chicago to experience this all over again.

Our server, Sean(sp?), was wonderful. Attentive, friendly and had good recommendations. Food was excellent – wonderful flavors. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for southern food. Menu options were very unique. Happy to see chicken and waffles on the menu, but I went with the chicken fried chicken which was wonderful. Lobster bites are delicious as is the lobster Mac n cheese.

Food is really good
The osyers is the star
The fried lobster tail is a pinch over salted but very good flavor
Lambchops was good and spicy. A little fatty for a few of them. Mac and cheese is good. Service is good. Definitely a better change from the previous location in managment, service and food. Enjoyed the music at a present volume. Thank you Mya at the bar, and a gentlemen w9rh long locs that kept checking on us
