D Mike’s Bar & Grill is more than just a place to eat—it’s a story decades in the making. For Mike and Kellie Daniels, their journey began years ago in a restaurant they’re proud to bring back to life.

Kellie practically grew up at D Michael B’s, tagging along with her mom, who worked at the Alexandria location when Kellie was just a little girl. Later, as high schoolers and college students, mike and Kellie both found themselves working for Dave & Deb (owners of D Michael B’s). Between serving tables and flipping burgers, they didn’t just build work experience—they built a connection that grew into something much more.

Fast forward to life as a nurse (Kellie) and a businessman (mike), and fate stepped in just as the Alexandria location of D Michael B’s was about to close. With Mike Daniels fitting naturally into “D Mike’s,” it felt like the stars aligned. They couldn’t resist the pull to return to where it all started—to save a place that held so many memories, not just for them but for the community.

Today, D Mike’s Bar & Grill is legacy inspired and community infused—a celebration where the past inspires the present and where every visit feels like home.
