Reviews - Dkdc
Reviews summary
DKDC offers an eclectic atmosphere that's both charming and vibrant, ideal for casual hangouts or date nights. While the bar setup features friendly bartenders and a cozy vibe, it grapples with inconsistent service, especially during busy evenings with live music events. Though many meals receive high praise—such as the jerk chicken and gourmet burgers—dining experiences can falter due to understaffing and slow service, leading to frustrating waits. Overall, DKDC promises a fun night out, but guests should prepare for potential hiccups amidst its lively environment.
Was DonaldB at Dkdc a mag?
Waitress was awesome! Food was good but WAY expensive would be nice to have some under 15$ options even just a burger by itself would be okay. Otherwise was great, Thelma and the Sleaze was awesome. Server was very nice, patient, and hard working. View all feedback.
What Niki dislikes about Dkdc:
This is much more of a bar these days then a restaurant. There were people loudly watching tv and it smelled of stale cigarettes. The food was good, but I would rethink going there for dinner due to the vibe it has now. View all feedback.

Great atmosphere. Don't pass up the brussel sprouts! And Tyler was an exceptional server!
We meet some friends there for New Year’s eve. It’s was just the right mix of food, music and fun. Happy New Year!
I was really excited when we walked into DKDC, as the atmosphere was amazing and they had our table claimed with a calligraphy card. The service started out great, but soon took a decline because they were wildly understaffed. It was new years eve and they only had one waitress on staff and one bartender for the 10 tables. Drinks and our appetizers came out relatively fast as well as our meal. Food was decent, but not mind blowing. The waitress recommended that I get a chicken dish, so I did. After waiting 30 minutes after everyone else's food was delivered, my dinner had still not come out. We asked for the check, as we were eager to get out of the restaurant so I could get some dinner. When it came, my missing meal was still on the ticket! I asked for it to be comped and the waitress came over and asked if I would like to wait longer, as they were just beginning to make my meal (now an hour after I had ordered it). Huge disappointment. Would definitely recommend choosing another restaurant.
We went here for a late dinner and the food was good, but not outstanding. The drinks were okay; the wine list was limited but very good. Seems like it would be a better place to have a drink and listen to music than for dinner. The place's atmosphere and service were great!
It was super crowded due to a live band and service was very slow. Took forever to be seen, to order, for the food to come, asked for silverware, and they never brought any. After some time I fought my way to the bar to get some bc the waitress was busy with other tables. Food was cold by the time we could eat it. Probably won’t be back.

It's obvious the warm jungle room atmosphere had me at the door. Then the way every thing was squashed in such a small eceletic style made it brighter. AND the may I Amy and Ben are the best in Memphis. Your setting is the best for them. To top things off your food!!!! Was perfect in size, flavor, and delicious. I don't drink but it was my. Birthday and had 2 martini's that was the best present I ever had. Don't worry I just have high blood pressure. Not off the wagon.
Great food, drinks, and staff as well as a killer spot to catch live music!
Bar DKDC has been a huge part of the city's music scene and character for years. You can rest assured any show you see here is quality- and so is the food and drink game. This place makes for the perfect escape from more generic scenes and allows you to feel like you are in a more divey setting, but it's divey without the dirtiness associated with dives. On top of that, behind the bar you will find some of the best bartenders in the city. Thanks DKDC!
Hippest spot in Memphis most diverse patrons, fabulous owner, attentive staff and the live music scene is the most eclectic.
We've attended several of your Sat. night events and have always had an awesome time. The people are friendly and we love the cozy atmosphere of DKDC's quaint establishment! We enjoy hanging out on the patio with our friends. The staff is wonderful. The DJ's know how to rock it down especially Aundrea Lowery!!! They know how to keep a crowd dancing!!! We'll be back for sure!

It was gem of a place that I hadn’t heard of before. I would definitely come here again.
The drinks were good, but the menu was limited. We arrived early and think it could be a good spot for live music.
The burger was delicious! The shrimp dish not so much.
Celebrated husbands birthday with The Mighty Souls Brass Band!! We had a blast
