Kitchen + Kocktails, the fast-growing Southern comfort-food concept, will make its New York City debut on Oct. 3 with a flagship location at 7 Times Square. The company says the Times Square restaurant will be its largest location to date and already has more than 4,000 reservations ahead of opening day.
Founded in Dallas in 2020 by attorney Kevin Kelley, Kitchen + Kocktails pairs elevated Southern classics with an inventive bar program that has driven rapid expansion. The brand currently operates locations in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Miami, and has announced upcoming sites in Boston and New Orleans.
What To Expect
The Times Square outpost will follow the concept's upscale-casual approach, combining comfort-food favorites with cocktails designed to complement the menu. The company describes the new restaurant as an experience-driven destination intended to attract both locals and tourists.
“The response from New York has been incredible,” said Kevin Kelley in a statement. “To see thousands of guests making plans to experience Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley before we've even opened our doors means a lot to us. We're ready to welcome New York and give this city an experience worth coming back for.”
With strong pre-opening interest and plans for further expansion, Kitchen + Kocktails is positioning its Times Square opening as a major milestone in the brand's national growth strategy.
