What if D&K's .....

Have they? Did they ? Would they?

Nope, still trying to ease the idea to Doug. I think I want it worse then he does right now. The economy is a big issue for our area. I just want to get back to making Pies, Mini-Muffins and finish the revision on the cookbook! With delivery available.

Thanks everyone for your PMs and suggestions...keep them coming.

just a "great" thought.....

make the hole big enough to push out a grouper po boy and shrimp salad!!!

We ate at D&K's last summer. Missed outdoor upstairs area. When you are so far away from the beach, to be able to sit out and dine and see the water is wonderful.
The food was wonderful at D&Ks. Just missed the outside.

I would love to see it happen!!!!!

I have been thinking all week that what this area needs is more small places that are highly specialized. What I wouldn't give to be able to stop by and pick up a key lime pie this week! PLEASE, PLEASE Doug! Let Kat do this!!

Oh please, Oh please!

A little late to the post but I know we (NESowaller) would be there in an instant. Also, the cookbook great idea. For those times we can't have the real stuff this could do the trick.

what about cocoon's?? you could make it into anything you want. your and doug's creations to go!

We hope you do it Kat! You and Doug have always been super, honest folks who provide excellent food/service to the community.

We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Do it...had to scroll through this thread for half a mile- theres your answer right there!

Please don't open again what you closed with, the food and service the last 2 times we were there was not good. If you try anything bring back the old D&K's. I assume people that are contributing to this email are living in the past not what you closed with.

Ohhh elliedog I am so very sorry you had bad food and service twice! I wish you had told us about this immediately. Is there anything I can do to make up for it now. I can deliver you a Key Lime Pie or two. Is there something else that you really love?

Please PM me where you live and I will deliver when you are in town!!! Again, we really really apologize for the bad experiences. I feel so bad about this.

can't imagine what elliedog is talking about - we kept going and going during those last days when you were almost but not quite closed and ALWAYS had wonderful food. it somehow made it sadder - "this is the last time i will have doug's gumbo", "this is the last time i will have my awesome fish sandwich", "this is the last time i will have shrimp salad" . . . . we had nothing but good experiences. so there.

Anyone who goes to a restaurant and has bad service and does not bring it to the attention of the manager/owner has no one to blame but themselves. Any establishment worth a hoot will make any wrongs right. If they don't, they will eventually fail. SoWal has to many places to eat to have one with bad service. You would have to blame yourself for being quiet, TWICE.

My experience with D&K's was nothing but outstanding! Hopefully by my next trip, the little hole in the wall will be up and running.

I never had the chance to go to D&K's when it was open so it would be quite a treat to see how some of the food is if you opened back up or still deliver certain things.

Katz,
I may have just become too jaded by the message board trolls and people with "agendas" but I certainly wouldn't give much credence to elliedog's post. If it is a legitimate complaint, then he/she needs to rethink the way to go about expressing it.

Thought you were going to be in the catering business?

It was fine before

what an awesome idea! an eat-in hole in the wall, or a carry-out hole in the wall? either would be wonderful . . . please keep us all posted on your plans!! maybe another little house like your former place (now cafe tango)? or a place like cocoon's?? NEITHER of which are holes in the wall, by the way! we need another family-friendly place, especially if it includes doug's cooking and your pies!!

The way it was BEFORE it was remodeled.

Didn't there used to be a deli or something right there in Grayton Corners by the Grayton General store? It may be open and I just haven't noticed...

Kat, I always had very good service and food when we came to D&K's. Now, I think if you opend something small with Po-Boys, Gumbo, Key Lime Pie, maybe some bread pudding, and stuff for kids, open air type, it would be a hit!!!

I will always follow you and Doug, at any location you guys open.

don't even think twice about that particular kind of post Kat. I sincerely doubt that anyone with good taste in food or otherwise would ever have made such a comment on a public forum.

I would love some of that delicious shrimp salad with dill for supper tonight...and a cranberry muffin for dessert...and a taste or two of my husband's slice of keylime pie!!!

Its the one thing that I would love to see on 30A is a place that you could walk to from the beach, order some boiled shrimp, cold beer, in your swim suit, then head back down to the beach. In Gulf Shores they have sea and suds, its a hole in the wall, but its just what you want if your coming to the beach.
