Miami is the newest K+K market, located in the vibrant Wynwood Arts District, and it deserved a restaurant that honors the tradition of soul food while elevating it to an entirely new level. Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley does exactly that. Founded by Kevin Kelley — a former Dallas litigation attorney who lived in Paris and craved the soul food he grew up on — K+K was born from a simple question: "Why don't we have a restaurant in a prime location where we can feel good about ourselves with great cocktails and soul food?" That question became a movement. With over 100,000 five-star reviews and 7 locations across the country, K+K's "Welcome Home" philosophy has turned first-time visitors into lifelong guests. From the moment you walk through the doors of K+K Miami, you feel it — the warm hospitality, the curated ambiance, the unmistakable aroma of dishes made with love and precision. This is soul food reimagined for a new generation, rooted in tradition but fearless in its creativity. Visit Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley and discover why Miami can't stop talking about it.
Start with the legendary Appetizer Trio — 3 Caribbean Jerk Lamb Chops, 2 Dream Eggs with blackened shrimp, and 1 Cajun Crab Cake. It's the perfect introduction to Kevin Kelley's culinary vision. For your entrée, the Lobster & Waffles (butter-poached lobster atop sweet golden waffles) is a social media sensation and a must-order. The Shrimp & Grits — Cajun blackened shrimp over creamy stone-ground grits — delivers comfort in every spoonful. The Surf + Turf pairs a perfectly seared steak with a lobster tail, rivaling the finest steakhouses in Miami. Don't leave without trying the Award-Winning Fried Chicken — Kevin Kelley's personal recipe, crispy outside and impossibly juicy inside. Pair your meal with the 24K Gold Fashioned (aged whiskey with real edible gold flakes), the Magical Mimosa Tower (a tableside spectacular), or the Peach D'Ussé Frosé.
