D&K's

Dos anyone have their email address....:scratch:

In light of this news, I feel very fortunate that we were at D&K's and the Seagrove Market and Cafe, actually...we were on the search for the absolutely best po boy grouper sandwich...I think we found it/them...so sorry to hear this...it really won't be the same, will it?

I understand the closing will be next Sunday.

IMO SoWal needs more laid back, good food places like D&K's and less fancy schmancy stuff.

I agree, kimbug. And this only goes to show that if a restaurant looks appealing, don't say "We'll eat there on the next trip" because it might not be there.

How sad to hear this. I have heard so much about this place and was looking so forward to going on my next trip. Then hearing ya'll talk about it, just made me want to go even more. It's so sad that I'll never have the D&K's experience.

I just called them and Sunday (April 30) will be their last day. After that, they will close for remodeling and don't know exactly when they'll re-open. The weather today is beautiful, dolphins in the gulf, light wind and sunny. Perfect for outdoor dining. Anyone up for lunch today?

That is exactly what Kelly told me last night. Can't do lunch today.

I definitely second that motion. Our casual, reasonable options are dwindling by the day.

Some are going to D&K for lunch tomorrow. I will be there. Must meet my peel-and-eat shrimp quota and must get me a piece of that key lime pie before flying back to the deep water fish place on Sunday.

How utterly perfect this week has been. I don't want to leave this time. Have never seen the water look more beautiful. Has anyone seen Conch Out's new French doors color? They are exactly the color of that water today!

Breakfast this morning with porpoises, a cardinal, two mourning doves, and a stray dog. Doesn't get much better. :rofl:

Donna - that sounds magical - I do not know where your house is but shutters the color of the water sounds hugely appealing.
I plan on going to D & K for lunch tomorrow too - I will be there around 12:30 and will have 2 girls with me (ages 6 and 2). Hope to see you there!

Donna's house looks great.
Hope to see many of you at D & K's tomorrow.

I hope someone will post pics of the Conch Out when she is finished. Can't wait to see. Glad you are having a wonderful week Donna!

So sad about D&K's. Everyone enjoy your last visit. Shoulda gone while I was there for Easter weekend.

Took josebby and hubby to D&K's for the first time yesterday to celebrate mrjosebby's birthday. Hate to admit that that was their FIRST AND LAST time to enjoy! What a shame that places like that are closing! What are we locals to do????

Why do you keep harping that you're a local? How long have you lived in SoWal?

Amp. Really? Does it matter how long they've lived there? :roll:

I think it may be Jack Daniels. But you tell me. I never claimed to be much of a history buff.

Mickey Rourke?

Jehovah's Witness? :funn: It does look like they are near a doorway afterall

We were coming from a true place of worship.
Come to think of it... a certain Sowaller was worshiping the porcealin god the next day. But it doesn't look like he's lurking tonight, so I guess he must go unnamed. :funn:

ya!!!!!!!!:clap_1: You have got to be kidding!!! So psyched....we get one more fabulous time at D & K's!!! Have been so bummed thinking we didn't have "one more time" there!! THANKS FOR THE INFO!!

It was chilly day on the deck - but lunch was delicious:

Perspective on the evolution of D&K Cafe: Yes, we hate to see them change and especially hate to lose the outdoor deck. I swear that Doug and Kathy ordered that nippy breeze on Saturday to help us adjust to the soon-to-be reopened restaurant and its enclosed upstairs. But anyone who has ever talked with Doug for more than 30 seconds (he's a man of few words and many wonderful recipes) knows that the new "fine dining" experience will include some of our favorites and could never be stuffy. Heck, we could all live with Chinette napkins, couldn't we? At least we will still have this place and under the same owners, which has to be good. They need to make a living, after all.

Idea: When the new restaurant opens, they should have a grand opening party where they auction off the big black skillet and the two most culinarily adept Crock Pots ever. We can all bid and donate the proceeds to the new venture, which will allow us to think of ourselves as D&K investors! :clap_1:

I can't believe what I'm reading...D & K's was one of the highlights of our trip last week. It's the kind of place that made us all relax. We had the best pulled pork and the grouper po boy was one of my mom's favorites all week. My son tried gumbo for the first time there and was hooked. No other restaurant came close all week for him. THIS NEWS SUCKS!

Kim, how was your trip? Did you get to do the things we talked about and go to the places we mentioned? Waiting for your reply.

We had a fantastic time. I can't wait to return over the Fourth of July week with my husband, kids, brother-in-law & his crew. The beach was in good shape and the water was more beautiful than ever. We enjoyed some funn restaurants. D&K's was one of our favorites. I'll definitely try the new remodeled D&K's if it's open when we're there. Any ideas when they will reopen?
