D&K's

The local rumour mill has churned up some more info on D&K's tonight. Supposedly, today was the old D&K's last day as you know it. They are supposedly closed for renovation and will open as a fancy smancy place which we do not need. I guess we will find out for certain tomorrow, whether this is true.

I asked Mr Carr about it and he said it was true, although I don't about the exact closing date. I hope not until tomorrow. Another Boo Hiss!

I love D & K's, the gumbo, shrimp salad and awesome view-and another ones bites the dust (possibly?) - too bad.

And everything made in two crockpots! <Hopefully they'll be donated to the 30-A Museum of Daze Gone By.>

I guess its not as bad as "goin' Condo," but morphing into "Upscale Dining" is tied neck n' neck with converting into a Prada/Louie Vaton Handbag Salon.

It's getting to the point that it just doesn't matter anymore--I've got my own kick-arse recipe for gumbo anyway.

I guess it is only fitting we had lunch there on Friday and were sitting next to SJ and Daddy-O. I will have fond memories of my last lunch there. Who are these people that are clamoring for more upscale dinig? Is it tied to the bottom line for these businesses? It seems like an oxymoron to me....Grayton and upscale dining. Sad sad day for us all.

...and they are enclosing the open air deck.

that is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know who is making all these decisions? More upscale dining and more condos--just what we need: NOT!

Was the property sold to some out of town developer?

Not sold. I guess they figure they can make more money if they sell $25 entrees at dinner rather than $11 sandwiches at lunch. Pehaps they should instead, close for lunch and open with a simular casual atmosphere and menu for late afternoon 4pm - 10pm so they can get the sunset crowd and some others. It would be packed. I guess they have only enough staff to do lunch or dinner, and that is the only reason I suggest closing at lunch, even though I don't like that option.

In order to serve real dinner food, they may actually have to put in a kitchen and ditch the crockpots.

...I do not get it. I have never eaten inside there....why would you?

I totally don't get this one.

I'm so glad at least some you got a "last supper" at D&K's! I guess this change means one less meal out for my family (but maybe we will just have picnic dinner on the beach:clap_1: ).

Well POOT! I think fancy smancy places should be !!!!!!

Reggae, $4 Red Stripes & Corona, $6 tequila shooters (the good stuff), and $6 fish tacos - would make enough money to keep me happy as an owner and a lot of other people.

I had lunch there on Saturday, peel-and-eat shrimp and a gorgeous view. I hope this longstanding rumor is not true. This is one of my favorite places.

My husband had lunch there on Friday and he said that there is a blackboard where they are counting down the days until they are closed. I think they were at 9 on Friday, so maybe they are open this coming week and that's it. I have to qualify this by saying that my husband isn't known for being super observant, so he could have had the days wrong! We are very bummed that D & K's is closing too. That was our favorite place to meet for a great casual lunch and enjoy the view. We always took all our visitors there for lunch and they would then understand why we love it here. We NEVER ate inside!

Donna- are you having a wonderful visit??

:clap_1: ..welcome home!!!! See you soon!!!! Did you think you had brought the rain with you Saturday? Everyone is glad you did! You were one of the first things I thought of!!!

I asked her to bring the rain and Donna provided. :clap_1::clap_1::clap_1: I wonder if she could hook me up with a huge winning lottery ticket?

She is a winner!!!! :clap_1: I can almost see her smiling from here!!!

I didn't walk upstairs, but D&K's deck had people on it early this afternoon -- looks like they are still serving.

I saw that - I bet Donna can get the scoop.

The good news is that they'll probably get a vent-hood. No one eats inside because it is fried-oil-smokey in there.

Who among you will open a casual spot to fill the void?

Mr. K and I were discussing this very issue yesterday. We really need a casual fish place that does the basics a la Nick's. I was thinking about the horrors of parking at the upscale D & K's!!!

Has anyone heard anymore about Great Southern? It is still NOT open!!!

I still buy an occasional lottery ticket, which I will need to open the casual spot everyone seems to want, plus buy my very casual SoWal house.....I like to dream too....

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!

I understand the closing will be next Sunday.
