I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was nice, they did a quick pay down then you sit where you want. Our server was great, she got us plenty of water and things we needed. The jerk steak was actually spicy, good and tender ribeeye but I enjoy the Hawaiian one much more. Mashed potatoes were nice and flavorful, and chunky. The auto tip was set to 20% and the pictures of the tacos to what we got were not accurate. The tacos were taqueria greasy and somewhat tasty but I wish it came with a sauce and more meat like their social media. read more

Kanvas is a great restaurant bar located in Deep Elum. It's two stories with a DJ upstairs. I went on a Thursday night and it was pretty chill with r&b playing. The food was subpar. My friend said the burger was good and my crab sandwich was okay. The service was okay as well. I would come again to hang out but probably not eat again. read more

Went here for the day party and sports bar to watch the game it's really nice and like a day party. The food is better inside the restaurant though. The pizza and guacamole could have been cooked better. The fries and Dorito nachos were the best from the menu. The bottle service is what we had at the day party and it is well worth it!! Good table for a big party. Located in Deep Ellum with a good vibe and scenic view outside! It gets really crowded towards the night. They have a good dj that plays really good music! -Marshay D. read more

I decided to catch a Sunday Funday vibe at Kanvas, and it did not disappoint. Since I'm not from Dallas but already familiar with the K+K brand, I was excited to check this spot out. The restaurant offers both downstairs and rooftop seating, and we chose the rooftop to enjoy the live DJ. The atmosphere was exceptional, and the service matched it. Our waitress was helpful with recommendations, and after she hyped up the crab cake burger, I had to try it--definitely worth it. We started with the lemon pepper wings and let me tell you... fire. The food came out quickly, and the servers and bar backs stayed on top of everything, keeping the table clear and drinks refreshed. I will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Dallas. read more

Stopped by to enjoy music on the rooftop. They had a wing special going on this particular Wednesday. $1 wings, but the minimum is 15 wings. That's kinda of crazy to me because there's no way I could finish that many, but luckily I was with friends, so we were able to share. We ordered buffalo wings and fries. The first batch of fries were super good and crispy. Very fresh and seasoned with sea salt I believe. It tasted similar to a batch of McDonald's fries! The second order we had were still hot and fresh, just not as seasoned. The wings were solid. They weren't anything to write home about but they were cool. Not gonna lie, at restaurants that have that club like atmosphere, I expect poor service, but we sat at the bar and all of the bartenders were super attentive, helpful and kind. I enjoyed my time here. I'd possibly return to try other menu items. There were some other things on there I saw that sparked my interest. read more

I've been twice and everytime the food is amazing! Although you may wait a while for food to come out, I've never had any problems with the servers. The atmosphere is kind of loud but that's a given so I didn't really mind. It can be pricey depending on what you order! read more

Your girl gonna find a spot to kick it at every time this has easily become one of our go to spots when somebody is in town and they wanna go out on a Saturday night typically it is free to get out last time I went they did charges $20 but somebody else paid I haven't had their food cause I typically go just to enjoy the nightclub the DJ is pretty cool yeah I know I'm picky about my DJ but I will say it is pretty good music to dance to and just have a good time with your crew read more

When we first got there there was a slight line out the door. We were asked if we wanted to go to the rooftop or outside. We picked inside just cuz it was hot. However if you are trying to have a good time go to the rooftop because they have the DJ upstairs. The waiter was nice and brought our drinks. The margarita i had was okay but it wasn't strong just a lot of juice. The food was good for the appetizer but the pricing could have been better it was a little high for a little amount of food as an appetizer. Then it was only three of us and they automatically added a 20% gratuity so we didn't tip extra. The wings were really good but the egg rolls takes it like hamburger helper. Overall I would come back and eat more wings and the truffle fries were good. read more

Super chill, super vibes place... there's music playing upstairs and downstairs and both have different vibes! The uniforms are cute, it makes me wonder what they will wear in the winter though.. The service was cool, nobody was mean or made me feel uncomfortable. The food was okay, not bad or not good.. just okay. I'm guessing because it's a sports bar, they do have a nice sized menu.. so you should find something to eat. read more

I met my girls here for our monthly girls night out. It's the same location that Harlowe used to be in Deep Ellum. We took a Lyft there and I'm grateful because the parking is crazy in Deep Ellum plus the Tyson & Jake Paul fight was also on. Michael was our server and he was personable and gave us solid recommendations. We ordered the Rockefeller oysters and wings for our appetizer. I've never tried oysters and will only try them cooked so this was the perfect place to try them. They were seasoned well & thankfully weren't the slimy texture I envisioned. The wings were decent but rather small. I ordered the Remy Refresher and the crab cake sandwich. I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich as well the drink. The vibes were nice. The restaurant and restroom were clean. It's a cool spot to stop by and watch a game or grab a bite to eat or drink! The only thing that I really disliked was that there was a lady going around taking pics and selling them For $25 with a cute frame. I hate being solicited to. read more

For the place to be slow, service was extremely slow. Wings taste like they were tossed in old oil before adding a bit of seasoning to them. We also ordered crawfish and I had to ask if they forgot to put seasoning in the water? I have never tasted such bland crawfish in my life. Service was slow and typical excuses were made about the bar being backed up except I'm facing the bar and can clearly see my items sitting at the counter smh. People were polite just slow, food was mediocre. Eat before you come and just enjoy the drinks read more

Place is nice and staff / servers are friendly. But the food is horrible. Considering how good Kevin Kelley's Kitchen & Kocktails restaurant is, I expected nothing less for this restaurant. However, food was nasty or too salty / over seasoned. I ordered multiple things to try. Thank goodness I did because I only ate 1 of 4 things ordered. I will NOT be back. And prices are way too high for a menu that's full of burgers, hot dogs and pizzas. Ridiculous. I'll stick to the amazing food that's ALWAYS good at kitchen & Kocktails. Maybe have that chef divide his time between the two restaurants. 2 stars for location and service. 1 star for food. read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would... I went to Kanvas on a Sunday afternoon for a friend's bday brunch. Upon arrival, the table was ready and I was sat immediately. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I ordered a frozen mango Casamigos Margarita with a Tajin rim. It was really good! To eat, I order the crab cake sandwich entree. It came with fries but I wanted to substitute them for Brussel sprouts. I was told there were no subs and I would have to pay for the extra side, which was fine. SN: How are you offering brunch but there's only 5 "brunch items" on the menu? And all the items are like a la carte. It's weird. Anywho... Another friend arrived and ordered about 30 minutes after I did, his food was the first to come out. Next, about 45 minutes later, my other 2 friends' entrees came out. An hour goes by, and I am the only one sitting at the table without food. There was no apology or recognition of what the hold up was. So I asked the waitress what was going on, she said the kitchen was backed up. But I ordered AN HOUR AGO and it wasn't even busy then. The food finally came out almost 1.5 hours later and I sent it back because at that point the entire party had eaten and I really was just over it. Waiting 30, 45 and over an hour for food is insane. They comp'd the frozen marg and I didn't have to pay for the food. But it's the principle... the staff had NO regard for my dissatisfaction at all. They didn't ask any questions or even attempt to "make it right". 2/10 do not recommend... ‍ read more

KANVAS By Kevin Kelley - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Let me start off by saying the food is amazing' hands down . Well seasoned and nice portion size. I'm giving 4 stars due to they charge a 20% gratuity and that's if you get seated at a table and that's not told to you when placing your order. If you sit at the bar it's not gratuity added not sure what's the difference. The server we had wasn't the best being that he automatically gets his tip. We had to flag him down couple of times for refills . I feel like it takes the service away knowing that they are going to get it anyways. I'm a tipper however, I feel you have to earn your tip. Other than that it's a gem you won't be disappointed food is Excellent. We also had the crab eggs rolls I forgot to take a picture but they were amazing also! Pricey absolutely limited side items with substitutions not good maybe they will work that out in the future. It's a new business so some tweaking could do . read more

I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone in over a week so I'm leaving my comments here. I had a horrible experience. Our waitress was nice and the food was good, but the manager was horrible. Jarius or whoever is rude, unprofessional, and has poor customer service skills. He made us pull up our banking apps to show we paid. Even when we verified the transactions and their system started working correctly to reflect that we had paid, he was too prideful to take accountability. He never once acknowledged or apologized for the inconvenience, his mistake, or approach. He refused to tell us his name. Instead, he had security walk us out. I come to Kanvas often and spend my hard earned money. I tip well and I treat the employees with respect. It is a shame they can't do the same. read more

I wanted to rate this place so much higher. I really did. So disappointing. I met the owner from Kitchen + Kocktails and he was so kind and left a good impression on me and my husband. For the food to really be great and the ambiance to be such a vibe, it literally took 55 minutes to get our food. I know today only marks week 2 since they've opened, but they definitely should've hired more staff. More cooks or something because I have no idea what took so long. Yes it was busy, but this was so out of line. To be honest I'm not sure if I would return, but it would have to be when they have their ish together cuz this ain't it. Anyways, we had the meatballs and the Philly cheese steak rolls, and shared a chicken sandwich. Appetizers 9/10, the sandwich 5/10. It had entirely too much sauce on it to the point I couldn't taste the chicken at all. I sent it back. I asked for ranch on the side for my fries and the ranch had no herbs in it. It only tasted like straight buttermilk. A true disappointment. Edit: I had to edit my review now that I received my check!!!! To top it off we were only a party of 2 and they added a 20% "service charge" fuccccccc this! Never coming back! read more

I sat for 50 mins waiting on a waiter to take my food order. I had to go to the bar to order my drinks. I also went to the bar twice to see if someone was working that area I was sitting in...they said yes, but no one ever came. Finally I ordered my food at the bar after 50 mins of waiting. read more

5 stars for the drinks. We got the peach and watermelon frozen margaritas. SOOO GOOOD. They were super fruity, sweet, and frozen like a perfectly blended slushy. (My ideal margarita!) The watermelon reminded me of candy (think watermelon jolly rancher)! 3 stars for the food. Nothing to rave about it, but It'll get the job done. One grievance: my mom ordered a hot dog and it looked nothing like the picture. We sent it back and the chef came out to try to make it right (which we appreciated!) In conclusion, I 10/10 would recommend coming here for the drinks and vibe. I absolutely do not recommend coming here specifically for a meal. And honestly, that makes sense! It's a sports and social bar. read more

I really wasn't gonna write this review because I love to support "my people" but this spot is "very mid". I guess I had my hopes up because of the marketing. They have one hell of a marketing team because I didn't see anything I see on Instagram. The dining area is small as hell. Had a reservation for 5 and didn't even want to sit in the dining area. It's only like 10 tables and looked cramped. So then I was thinking where is all the TVs I heard they have. We were there to watch the game. They took us to an another small bar not connected to the dining area and it was only a round bar. Cramped in there too. Then onward to the patio. Another let down. They tried to sell me a table for $300 and said all tables are "sections". So we went to the bar upstairs and bartender (thanks to him) told us the tall tables were open seating. Ordered food. Wings were good but small as hell. Like tiny wings. Egg rolls were mid. It just wasn't a good experience. I add this to my list of places I've been too that were "okay" but I won't go back. If you're still wondering I guess it's worth a try but you probably won't go back either. ‍ read more

Absolutely was not impressed. I felt policed coming in as they confiscated my gift to a friend, which was a bottle of wine. Clearly, it's a gift and how is it going to be opened with a corkscrew? They were trying to make me walk back to my car to put it in the car but I asked them to hold it instead because if I went back to my car, I wasn't returning. The food and drinks, as I expected, were overpriced and my to go order was completely wrong. There was no way to get in touch with the business for them to address, so I ended up disputing the charge with my bank. I tried, truly I did, but they delivered as I expected. I don't recommend. read more

I was excited to visit Canvas since I heard a ton of good things about the food at the other restaurant that has the same owner. As soon as I walked in I was completely turned off the the extremely offensive smell which reminded me of a sewage issue.

I celebrated my birthday with my cousin at KANVAS. This review would have received 5 stars if the tables were not cheap and wobbly, and the chairs not had food in them. The drinks and food were delicious. I enjoyed every that we ordered. I was celebrating my birthday. See review below: PROS: *Drinks were delicious! I had a popsicle champagne drink and the strawberry lemon drop both were perfectly delicious! *Parmesan oysters were perfection and seasoned just right. *Cheesesteak egg rolls were fire! I could have eaten every last one. *The doughnut brunch sandwich was EVERYTHING you thought it should be - The doughnut is fresh and hot, egg,bacon and sausage so good!! CONS: *There isn't enough street parking so you have to park in the paid parking lot at $17.33!!!! What a ripoff for 2 hours!!! *Wobbly tables!!! *Dirty chairs *Half naked waitresses *Entrance is not clearly marked read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. This is the same location Harlowe used to be at. I was pleasantly surprised at the way they changed it. It definitely feels more upscale and a good vibe. They have a large menu with a variety of drinks and foods. They offer 4 different types of old fashioneds and the bartenders are cool and make the drinks well ask for Peyton and eurely. Apparently you need reservations though to go here, but they allow people in at the bar throughout the day. If it wasn't for the random reservations and lack of choosing where to sit at the bar, they walk you to your area with no reservation, i would have given more stars. read more

Went in on a Saturday night to catch some pre-season football. I've seen the ads on instagram and I was an early fan of Kitchen and Kocktails so I wanted to check this place out. I'm not extremely familiar with Deep Ellum but it seemed like a party/bar community and this fit right in. The place is huge, 2 bars and a rooftop area. Parking can be a hassle on the weekends. There is a paid lot on the corner but it's relatively small and metered parking on the street. I didn't have a reservation and I got seated fairly quickly. There are TV's everywhere and if you are seated in the bar closest to the parking lot you can hear the music being played next door in the main bar area. The staff was friendly, and my waiter did a good job for the most part considering it was a full house. The food didn't take extremely long to come out. I did ask if the lemon pepper was dry or wet on the shrimp and was informed it was dry. That was NOT the case. The shrimp was HEAVILY doused in the lemon pepper seasoning, extremely salty... even a cocktail sauce bath couldn't make it edible. The shrimp would've been much better plain in my opinion. The waiter did drop the ball initially (very minor) but I had no steak knife, salt or pepper, or condiments. I asked and he brought them out promptly so kudos. The fries desperately needed salt and pepper and in regards to the steak, I asked for it medium and it was perfectly cooked. I just was not a fan of the flavor. It missed the mark to me. The glaze was bland and not a hint of sweetness. It's a preference thing and it was high on mine. The waiter took both items off my bill as I didn't eat much of it. There is automatic 20% gratuity included on your ticket even for a party of one. I tip 20% so it's not an issue for me however it wasn't made clear in the beginning. I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to that but the atmosphere was very energetic and my god there were beautiful women laughing and smiling everywhere you turned. (Both staff and patrons) It could be a fun outing for a group, singles, and those who drink for sure. My meal left a lot to be desired. Factor in the $19 parking fee, relatively avg tasting food, and the fact that it's 30 mins from my house, I probably won't be returning. If you are just looking for a very well decorated establishment and dope vibes, you'll throughly enjoy yourself! read more

Do not recommend eating here. First, it took awhile to find seating (with reservation) due to wobbly table. Everything on menu is EXTREMELY over priced. Received the oysters that were so over cooked... couldn't even scrape off with a fork. Ordered a steak loaded potato and that was also so overcooked you could barely get any potato out of it. Our waiters were SOOOOO NICE Though!!! Super sweet girls. Them and the music was the only good part. read more

I didn't look at reviews before coming here; I joined a group for a watch party. We were a small group of friends (5) in the main dining room. I arrived after my friends had eaten. There was a tap water bottle on the table, but the waitress never brought me a glass. I ordered a beer (only canned available). About 10 minutes later, I ordered a cheeseburger, which comes with a side of fries. I don't mind paying for quality, but getting a half-ounce patty on a bun for $19 is ridiculous. When the waitress came over and asked if everything was okay, I mentioned that the burger was missing lettuce and condiments. She said it should have come with lettuce and tomatoes and promised to bring ketchup and mayo. The runner made two rounds around the restaurant looking for our table to drop off the lettuce and tomatoes. Five minutes later, he dropped off the ketchup. Twenty minutes passed, and I still had no mayo. Thirty minutes later, I still hadn't received my beer. Another waitress came over, and I explained the issues. She offered to bring the mayo, but by then the burger was cold, so I politely declined. She offered to remake it, but again, I declined. She also said she would send a manager to the table, after waiting 10mins I left to the watch party in a different room. The bartenders there weren't the best but at least I was served in a timely manner. I understand that it's a new place, but not getting a glass to pour myself water is unacceptable. I left thirsty and hungry and went down the street to a better spot. read more

Came to watch MNF. Plenty of TVs and the atmosphere was nice. We didn't know that there was a rooftop and would've preferred to eat up there. We ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls, jerk chicken quesadilla and regular burger cause they were out of crab. The jerk chicken quesadilla was on their happy hour. I would give it a 7/10 - pretty good but didn't have any cheese to it, lots of peppers. The egg rolls were good - 8/10 , they had a sauce with them that was interesting. The sauce was good but didn't quite complement the eggrolls. The burger and fries were at 6.9/10. The truffle fries had a good taste but the fries themselves could've been better. Burger was good but nothing special. The tequila soda was not good and tasted like tequila water. read more

Because of the fact that they are so new, I want to give some grace. The bartender we had was very sweet, she was very prompt and her drinks were truly delicious. Now, let's get real. This location used to be a staple in Deep Ellum as it was previously Harlowe. Harlowe's rooftop was open, seating and bar wise, dances were had and food was delicious and reasonably priced. Kanvas, on the complete other side of the spectrum, is not using its location for the best. The food is insanely expensive and it took over an hour to come out. You can only move around the restaurant if you're seated outside or upstairs which takes away the benefit of being outside in Deep Ellum's prime location. Music was horrible, and it was way too busy behind the bar. I hope that this location can make some changes to allow for visitors and Dallasites to enjoy. read more

‼THIS ESTABLISHMENT LITERALLY POISONED ME! PLEASE READ‼ Ok let's get into it. I saw the viral tik tok going around about this place and I found out it was a black owned business so I wanted to support. I went to go watch the Tyson v Paul fight and get a drink and some food. When I got there, it was a mess communication wise with the servers. They sent me to one table and then said they weren't gonna be playing the fight outside so I had to go inside upstairs and then they told me it was $300 for a table. So finally, I just got a seat at the bar downstairs. I ordered some nachos to start and the crabcake sandwich from the viral video. My entrée ended up coming before my appetizer and that's a big pet peeve of mine so I was already irritated. I had to wait for my nachos to come and They were not good at all. The queso did not have enough bite and the spiced chicken was weird. I ate a couple of bites of those and I was like no these are terrible so I stopped. My waiter came back and asked if I wanted to go box because that's how little I ate and I said no. The guacamole it came with was also brown by the way. Next was my crabcake sandwich. I was eating it and trying to finish it but honestly, it was just grossing me out so I stopped. The fries were also terrible and soggy. I had one drink and then I started to drink my second drink when all of a sudden I started to feel very sick. I asked the waiter for my check, paid, and immediately called an Uber to go home. (I didn't even get to watch the fight!) As soon as I got home, I started throwing up. Then throughout the night (TMI sorry) but it was coming out of both ends. I spent $100 to feel like shit. It's the day after and I still haven't even been able to eat anything because I'm so sick and nauseous. I had to type this using voice to text cause I'm so weak. I don't like to completely drag a business without saying something positive so I will say the drinks were good. But if Kanvas has no haters I'm dead. Edit: it's been days and my stomach is still not right. I have never had food poisoning this bad. I just threw up all over my bathroom and have to call out tomorrow to go to the doctor bc I'm genuinely concerned. Do not eat here if it's the last restaurant on earth. I have not received a reach out nor an apology. read more

A 3pm visit for football Sunday proved to be terrible. Reservations for 4, so there was no wait to be seated. However, it went downhill fast from there. Two appetizers were ordered and they came out split by about 20 minutes. Drink service on the first round was horribly delayed and we only received a single follow-up for a refill in a two and a half hour visit. The wait to order food wasn't too bad but they were out of many meats for pizza and we didn't receive all our food together. The first plate came out after a long wait, and the other three meals trailed until all food was finally on the table after an hour or more. With the extremely high pricing of food and drinks and the horrible service, it's an expensive disaster. $250 for 4 to have wings, burgers, cheese steak sandwiches, and a couple of drinks each. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Ima keep short and sweet. Our service was horrible. It was so bad I shoulda been paid to even walk through the door. Our server the light skin with the neck tat was so stank she shoulda been sent home. She was late bringing our drinks brought a random beer that was perfume infused. Sat on her phone or was talking to her friends while we're waiting on drinks. She has no customer service skills and needs retraining ASAP. We asked for the manager and he didn't wanna hear anything we had to say. Just rushing us along. At least we got them nasty fries taken off. Speaking of the fries they came out cold and soggy and whosever idea it was to put chicken on it, never step foot in a kitchen again. Edit: 20% gratuity was not deserved. And y'all really need to take that away cause it's causing you workers to be lazy af. read more
