KANVAS Sports + Social

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 themFor $25 with a cute frame. I hate being solicited to.

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.

‼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.

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.

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. We got wings, a stuffed baked potato and a side of brussel sprouts and all of the food was delicious. Our servers were wonderful and attentive, and the food came out hot and quick. Besides the smell, it was a good experience.

Upon entering KANVAS Sports + Social, the ambiance was aesthetically pleasing. However, despite sitting at the bar, it took a while for anyone to help us, which was disappointing. I ordered a Casamigos margarita specifically expecting it to come in the branded container, but instead, it was served in a plastic cup--not what I was looking forward to.My wife ordered the Oysters Rockefeller, but unfortunately, the seasoning and topping completely overpowered the oysters, which made the dish less enjoyable. The seating at the bar was the worst part of the experience. The stools were so uncomfortable that I ended up with Ischial Bursitis the next day. It's a real issue they should address for anyone who plans to stay longer than a few minutes.On the plus side, the lemon pepper wings were crispy and well-seasoned, and we got to enjoy watching the Longhorns win. However, there was a bartender shift change, and we were left waiting for 15-20 minutes just to get our check. Had we been dishonest, we could have easily walked out without paying. Management needs to keep better tabs on the staff to ensure that customers aren't left unattended for that long.Overall, the food had some highlights, but the service and comfort really detracted from the experience.

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.

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!

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... ‍

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 .
