“The sushi rolls are too notch and the crab Rangoon and edamame apps are tasty! Great service and atmosphere! Dulce’ is a great and attentive server!!”
“Heaven on a spoon good ❤️”
“It's fresh and a wide variety of all type of ethnic foods.
Parking: Cheaper than Wing stop
Kid-friendliness: Yes
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Solid experience, mainly got appetizers. Those were indeed phenomenal. Great cocktail service. Nice atmosphere but a little crowded and noisy at the time I went.”
“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻”
“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us”

“My husband and I decided to drop by for some lunch and we were quite content :) The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute and colorful, while the service friendly and prompt. I ordered the Sumac Chicken Kabob after asking the waitress for a recommendation and my husband ordered the Arayes and fries. They were both flavorful and a good portion size. We would definitely come back when we get another chance!”
“Not only was the food exceptional, our waitress Lauren was absolutely amazing! She recommended the wood grilled corn and bacon flatbread, which was amazing, heard us talking about desserts and a bakery we wanted to try and gave her review. Attentive and nice. Will definitely be back for all the other seasons to come!”
“We have had Earl’s Premier on our radar for a while. Decided it would be the perfect place to go explore for our 19th wedding anniversary. It felt like we were on vacation the moment we walked in the door. John and Nico showed us great hospitality.”

“We accidentally stumbled across the Black Garlic while looking for someplace to eat near the Uptown Theater. What a WONDERFUL discovery we made. Starting with the atmosphere, which had such a cool, sleek vibe. We had the pleasure of having Monica and Terry serve our table. They gave wonderful drink recommendations, and the drinks were outstanding and beautiful. The food… I had the Crab Cakes which were some of the best I have had. My husband enjoyed a dish called Giya which was a pork shoulder with a black mushroom rice. And our friend had the shrimp tibs. All of us were floored at how delicious our food was. We have already recommended to several friends and this is definitely a place we will keep coming back to! This experience was 10/10!”

“Went there with a couple of friends last night to check the place out, and it is so awesome! Wonderful, friendly, cozy environment great, live music super tasty tacos . Highly recommend this place! Just head out with some friends and enjoy a stellar craft beer. Also check out the art on the walls!”
“Wow! This is one of the best wineries I have been to in the area! Beautiful vineyard in the hills! The tour is well worth it! We lucked out, our tour was led by Austin, a sommelier with a pure love of grapes and wine, who happened to be here for the harvest. 70 variety of grapes! So much history! We will return!”
“Ragazza is my favorite restaurant. We’ve been several times. Tonight we had Liz as a server and Channing helped out as well. Both of them were awesome. The food.. as always was awesome. Drinks superb. If you haven’t tried Ragazza you should. The Eggplant parm is my favorite but everything is honestly delicious.”
“We just ate there for lunch and both of us are excited to recommend it to friends and family! The food was really amazing. We both had jerk chicken, cabbage, and plantains. All three were terrific. The service was so very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is quite creative and welcoming. Please give them your business!”

“I've been coming to this place for years and one thing that never gets old the women they're just so darn beautiful and the down to earth you want a good laugh a good conversation or hell trust to have someone ask you are you doing all right that's the place to go highly recommended”
“I was in KC for the weekend and if I'm in a city with a Whataburger, I'm going! I was traveling back home so I just got my food to go. I didn't get a cinnamon roll or shake this time but normally I do because they are so delicious.
The portions are typically large with the burger being big as hell. What I love is the burger and bun match in size.
I didn't get any pictures because I got it to eat later, which I did. Because nothing beats eating Whataburger at home, especially when you live in a state that does not have one.
If you have yet to try this fast food joint, I highly recommend it!”
“I love Whataburger, I don't get to go very often since they don't have any where I am from. The wife and I were excited to get their Dr. Pepper shakes and they were not serving them anymore. It is hard to believe that this delicious shake can't be kept on full time. At any rate, I tried the peaches and cream and the wife got chocolate. Both were delicious!”
“I went to this drive thru at 1pm today. The lady on the drive thru speaker was just the sweetest. The gentleman at the pickup window was so kind and when I looked in the bag of food I have never seen a McDonald's order wrapped and bagged so nicely. I didn't even have Ketchup on the outside of my McDouble sandwich. That has never happened before. I was just super impressed with the employees on this shift.”
“Wish this page would allow me to send a PM. But it doesn't so . . . I'll copy and paste what I posted to another page. Today I went to McDonald's across from Chouteau Crossings. My card was declined. Which puzzled me. I don't keep much money in my account, but there should have been much more than enough to cover $6 and change. (Figured out later that it was because they put a hold my last deposit - even though it was drawn on their bank - AND - there was a big funds freeze from a recent small gasoline purchase.) I was surprised and embarrassed and apologized. I was about to pull away when the young man looked at me and said: "Don't sweat it. I got you." Pulled out his wallet and swiped his card for my meal. People are good. I'm going to do something to make that young man glad for his act of kindness soon if I can. If you happen upon him (his mask was a modified neck gator (had ear straps, but also covered the back of his neck) with a sort of blue tribal print on a black background and came to a point on his chest, somewhat like a bandanna would - tell him thanks for me.”
“I tried the Arc Burger at McDonald’s today and was honestly really impressed. The burger was juicy and packed with flavor. I even took a video of it because it felt like something the CEO of McDonald’s should see, as I interpreted him in the video like everyone else in the world, and this is how a burger should be done.
The sauce was delicious and really tied everything together. The crispy onions were super crispy, adding great texture and flavor. Even the bun stood out. It had poppy seeds and was actually really tasty, which surprised me because buns are usually forgettable.
To be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of McDonald’s burgers in the past, but this one completely changed my mind. This was a really solid burger from top to bottom.
If this is the direction McDonald’s is going with their burgers, they’re definitely on the right track.
Service lacked due to no personal touch even after opening the door for engagement.”
“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!”
“Pasta was amazing. staff was very attentive. Definitely be back. Best dinner ever. ❤️”
“Ragazza is my favorite restaurant. We’ve been several times. Tonight we had Liz as a server and Channing helped out as well. Both of them were awesome. The food.. as always was awesome. Drinks superb. If you haven’t tried Ragazza you should. The Eggplant parm is my favorite but everything is honestly delicious.”

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.”
“This little local gem is such a gift to Kansas City! The coffee is phenomenal, food delicious, but NOTHING beats the warmth and inclusion the staff offers freely to each guest! I always leave this beautiful establishment with a full heart, and the sustenance I need to make it through another day of caring for the KCMO community. Thank you, Anchor Island, for loving us so well! We love you! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖”
“Oh, black hole to walk in is to enter a forest made of wheat and fire something in there rises the way morning rises slow and golden and certain thank you for feeding us like the earth feeds the trees without asking why best bakery in kc hands down the wild yeast knows -Johnson Browne”
“I'm not so sure about the Westport location after witnessing an employee kind of heavy set with dreads died at the tips snorting cocaine in the back by the dumpsters and selling drugs he had to be the cook and I just do not want any fairy dust on my waffles or my chicken I rather go braid water or bite the curb that is not what I expected to see when pulling up and I definitely don't want to spend my money with an establishment that knowingly hires drug addicts”
“Gigi provides the healthiest most organic and tastiest food in Kansas City at this moment in time. If you use your free will to purchase from other similar well-meaning vendors, you may be missing out on a lot of organic ingredients that could cost you a lot more than mere money down the line... Support Gigi’s Vegan + Wellness Café as much as you can make it up there.”
“Food was amazing, everything we tried from appetizer to main course and sides plus dessert was delicious! The drinks were also great. Our server, Marie, was excellent!!”
“Jack Stack - Martin City is now my favorite of their locations around Kansas City. They still have the original vibe which drove this brand's popularity. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Our service was great with just the right amount of attention from everyone. The food was delicious, hot and fresh! The wings were outstanding and the onion rings were hot and the best I've ever had...yes my new favorite location for Barbecue in Kansas City!”
“Absolutely Amazing! This is the best bbq I have ever had from a restaurant hands down. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of beans and I can not wait to try everything else on the menu. Even the pickles are Amazing. You have to try this place for yourself. You won't regret it.”

“I try to explore local eateries and coffee shops whenever I’m on work trips, and I have to hand it to Fitti’s. The atmosphere is so homey and cozy, the coffee was amazing and I also tried one of their brownies - everything was fantastic. The day I visited was kind of rainy, so the vintage lights glowing and the soft music playing was reminiscent of when I watch those “coffee shop jazz” videos on YouTube. I’m excited to return!”
“We just ate there for lunch and both of us are excited to recommend it to friends and family! The food was really amazing. We both had jerk chicken, cabbage, and plantains. All three were terrific. The service was so very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is quite creative and welcoming. Please give them your business!”
“This is my favorite coffee shop in all of the KC metro. The vibes ALWAYS vibe and the community that always gathers in there is such a breath of fresh air. I drive 20 minutes to get there and I'd drive an hour, daily, to keep going if I had to. Thank you Renegade Team! Incredible space! 💙”
“The food was great, and our waitress, Nicole, was great at giving service with a smile and good attitude. The only issue was that one of us ordered breakfast potatoes but got hashbrowns instead, though that seems to have been a kitchen mistake since the ticket still had potatoes when we paid. My family member didn’t mind the mistake though. My family and I had never been here before today, but we’ll definitely want to come back again.”
“Awruff! Bay Boy Sandwiches at the Commons! Where even to start! Tail-Wagging fun from the moment I walked it! Sports games, arcade games, lawn games, and skeeball! This place has it all! 🏈 🎯 🕹️I got a mouth-watering sandwich, The Bandit! Roast beef, smokey cheddar, red onion, raspberry jam and horseradish all on a delicious Dutch crunch roll! 🐶💚🥪 The atmosphere was high-energy and just felt less like strangers, and more like your own pack. It took a minute for our food to be ready, but it was so hot and fresh, and the staff were so nice I didn't mind! 10/10 🦴 will definitely be back!”

Fine Dining
“My husband and I drive from Omaha at least twice a year for date weekend and we always dine at Stock Hill. We love love love the ambience, service, food, all of it. It hits the mark for that dreamy, darkish, amber glow ambience, especially in the later months. This past weekend we went to KC on a whim and knew they were booked and decided we would be fine with a seat at the bar. When we inquired about a table for 2, the hostess explained that they were booked and could sit at the bar. We were totally great with that! But the “head honcho” came out of nowhere and told us he actually had a table for 2. The cherry on top? He proceeded to seat us at the table we first sat at when we went there for date weekend years ago. Thank you! 🥰”
“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“We were having dinner celebrating my daughter and Patrice was our server. She was absolutely fabulous. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make our evening so special. My family has severe allergies and she made sure we felt comfortable with all our choices so we could relax and enjoy our night. I hope to have her take care of us again! It was a wonderful evening in every regard!”
“I think it's worth trying at least once. I think the food was really good. Everything was very nice. The server was absolutely fantastic. Service was fantastic. I think it was a little weird but not as you talk to the chef it becomes less so. But yeah, I would recommend this place food's pretty good. I really like the rice. It's a good time. More of a show but like a really yummy show.”
“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!”
“it's a perfect place to eat not because the food is better, but know how to entertain a 3 course meal over 2 1/2 hours. the contemporary series is a wonderful way to learn how to cook, ask questions and feel delighted in the best restaurant in the Greater Kansas City region! BAM! eat here at least once in your lifetime =)”
“what's not to love??? great atmosphere, amazing food and central location! you MUST check it out:)”

“Tonight we came to Thai Orchid for my birthday and sat in Dylan’s section and he was outstanding! So friendly and attentive. He gave us just enough time without being pushy. Our food was wonderful and fresh. I cannot recommend this location enough. We ordered the soft spring rolls, steamed dumplings, shrimp yellow curry and the shrimp pad Thai. Delicious!”

“I have been dying to try this place but it is way across town for me. It was well worth the trip. I got “The Mind Latte” a mushroom concoction with mushroom cold foam. This is unique, creative and tasty. The whole vibe is awesome. I am so happy I made the trip. I will be back.”
“I stumbled upon this little shop after begging the GPS to find the closest coffee shop on my way to work. Being greeted by a calm, sweet, warm eyed pup and great coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be making this a regular stop. The coffee is great (I had an iced mud pit) and the biscuits and gravy were the perfect comfy breakfast! Highly recommend checking this place out!”
“Burgers are good, onion rings were excellent. Last time we went, they were out of onion rings. This time, we called before we went and was told they had onion rings. Twenty minutes later as we were placing our order, we were told they just ran out of onion rings. We left. How do you run out of onion rings? It’s really simple. If you consistently run out, order more. We will not be going back.”
“I was pleasantly surprised at this place! I've been traveling back and forth to KC and always looking for new food spots to eat while on the road. The food was delicious, fresh, properly cooked, veggies with my Szechaun Shrimp and Chicken, and the Pho was delicious! A1...WILL BE BACK!”
“Jim and the team there care, a rare commodity in this day and age. A friend of mine accidentally left behind his son’s teddy bear, 6 waitresses and Jim studied the picture and took down our numbers. Jim was in the back, one of the waitresses (wish I knew her name) said to hold on that Jim would want to be involved. Think about that, a waitress willingly involving a manager, and the manager CARED. 10/10 would recommend, good food, better people. I wish this business nothing but the best. 🙏”
“The Town Topic Hamburgers early morning 5am crowd is truly one of the last great American dining experiences. The three egg cheese omelet with shatteringly crispy perfectly cooked hash browns was a transcendent experience, and I wasn’t even hungover. The atmosphere and professional staff lend further into the experience as one that is both memorable and delicious all around.”
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Taco Rico. Food is fresh and oh so good. Reminds me of being in my grandmas' kitchen. When I say everything is good, I mean EVERYTHING is good. Don't even get me started on the staff!!! They will always have my vote. Yes, sometimes they are closed during their normal business hours, they (family & staff) run business and life happens. Always 5 stars in my book.”
“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.”

“There's a reason why we come back about every 2-3 weeks. The food is consistently delicious. The ambiance is always perfect for our date night. The host always recognizes us and seats as promptly with our reservation and our server Betsy always takes the utmost care of us. Honestly, she's one of the primary reasons why we keep coming back. Thank you for helping us with our date night. It's obvious you take the time to take care of the customers.”
“I stopped by Sidos Mediterranean Cuisine for dinner around 7:00 PM and ordered a chicken shawarma plate with hummus, rice, warm pita, and a Greek salad. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with a nice grilled flavor, while the hummus was creamy and had a good balance of garlic and lemon. The rice was fluffy and the pita came out warm, making it easy to scoop up the hummus and sauces. The salad was fresh and added a nice lighter side to the meal. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a casual, comfortable atmosphere and the portions were generous enough to leave me feeling full. Overall, it was a really satisfying Mediterranean meal and I'd definitely come back to try the falafel and other dishes.”
“They had a nice variety of beers from different breweries. The service was good and the food was good. We spent a little over $50 on food and beer for 2 people, they’d not bad at all. There was no parking available in their side and back parking lot. We ended up parking on the street. However they do validate your parking spot if you find a spot to park in their parking lot. They have a ramp which is handicap accessible.”
“My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at The Melting Pot, and the staff was amazing and the service was great! They made our anniversary so special!! I can not thank them enough. The manager surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries, our table decorated with roses, and gave me a rose! Our hostess made us a special two year plate with a delicious raspberry sauce. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.”
“Delicious food. Great drink. Great service! Definitely coming back!”
“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!”
“Love Love LOOVVEEE their ice cream. I ordered the 6 mini scoop option(scoops were still pretty big). My daughter and I had a difficult time deciding which was our favorite because they were all so delicious! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies which were also amazing. I look forward to going back with the rest of my children. Thank you for your amazing service and the best ice cream I've had in a long time.”
“Perfectly and freshly prepared menu items that just called on Spain! Absolutely delicious, charming surroundings and immaculate service. Luke and Megan made La Bodega totally memorable with their charm and polite kindness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last”
“We had a large group and they accomodated us at the last minute. We had some of their signature dishes served family style and all were great!”
“We did the 4:30 distillery tour and it was really fun! There is not much walking and an elevator available for those that need it. Our tour guide was very interesting and he did a great job of teaching us about Tom Pendergast and also about the liquors that they distill. You can start with a drink in their bar and carry it with you throughout the tour if you like!”
“I’ll be honest—I was a little nervous going into Akoya Omakase. I had never done any kind of Omakase experience before, and just looking at the menu was honestly a little intimidating. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if it would be something I would enjoy.
After experiencing it, I can confidently say: **if you like sushi, you will LOVE this place.**
But what really stood out to me was that this isn’t just a meal—it’s a dining experience. In my opinion, **Akoya Omakase is one of the best dining experiences in Kansas City**, especially if you do the **Chef’s Table**. Being able to watch everything come together and experience the food the way the chef intended made it something I won’t forget.
And if you go, **ask for Jay**. He was incredible. He made the entire experience feel comfortable and welcoming, especially for someone like me who had never done Omakase before. He explained things, answered questions, and made the experience feel approachable rather than intimidating.
I went in not really knowing what to expect and left already thinking about when I could come back.
**If you love sushi, go. If you love unique dining experiences, definitely go. And if you do, make sure you sit at the Chef’s Table and ask for Jay. You won’t regret it.**”
“My husband and I had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was good as always. During our meal my husband had to use the rest room. He has some dementia and can’t walk very well. Unfortunately we were sitting at a table which was on the complete opposite side of the restaurant from the rest room. The server noticed our dilemma and said she would guide him over to the restroom. She was back immediately. I said, “Oh, he won’t be able to find his way back to this table.” The server told me not to worry about it. The restaurant manager had taken him over and would wait and bring him back. That is undoubtedly the kindest thing that has ever happened to us in a restaurant. Thank you to the wonderful people at the RoanRidge Texas Roadhouse.”
“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!”
“Tonight we went to celebrate an accomplishment by my teenage daughter. I am a member of a Northland restaurant group and I was told to ask for Jamie because she is highly recommended. She was our server and my gosh, she went above and beyond. She mad our night wonderful and my daughter could NOT have been happier. Absolutely beaming. Thank you Stroud’s and Jamie for giving us a wonderful night that we won’t soon forget.”
“Tong was literally the best server I had here! She was super helpful when it came to helping me order on the tablet because it was my first time eating here!”
“My husband and I came in from out of state and he made a reservation for us at Piropos, everything from our contact with the hostess to our departure from the restaurant was personable and the atmosphere was perfect for our date night the food was delicious and our waitress, Catherine, was extremely attentive and kind, as I’m in a wheelchair, making our visit one of the best nights we had on our 5 day stay in Kansas City! I would recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a classy atmosphere with the best waitstaff and food we’ve ever experienced!”
“Every time I buy from Kobi-Q, whether it is there Grand street location or this new Westport location, I’m greeted well and an treated like I am an acclaimed guest. This is a definite pro when coming to their new sushi bar. If you have any questions on what things are, what is appropriate to share, what is a good item for newcomers, and what is off the beaten path, they help you in anyway they can to make the best possible dining experience. I love Kobi-Q on Grand st. And they haven’t let me down the 3-4 times I’ve been privileged enough to enjoy their sushi bar in Westport. Please come, have an open mind on sushi, and enjoy it. It’s an experience that I’ve had with plenty of good friends. <3”
“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.”
“Darion was excellent. Simply excellent. This was our first visit here and we were not disappointed. Huge shareable portions, everything was hot and fresh. We will definitely be coming back. What an experience; so much fun and laughter over an excellent meal.”
“Food was quite tasty and the wine was poured generously.
The sauces and oils that came on the various dishes we ordered were very flavorful, but I had a hard time actually getting most of it in my mouth since the sauces didn’t really adhere well to the food, and all the dishes came in flat bowls so trying to scoop it up was a challenge.
We arrived when the restaurant first opened, so the dining room was empty, yet we were seated right next to another couple, which seemed like an odd thing to do. I feel like we could have been seated a little more sparsely and had a touch of privacy given the empty state of the dining room. There were 2 tables open on either side for the next half hour we were there. Our cutlery was also just put in a pile on the table when we were seated as well, not placed.
Overall, the food was good but aspects of the service and presentation could be better.”
“Pierpont Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, making it a great choice for a special night out.
Our server, Anna, was outstanding. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations throughout the evening. Her service elevated an already fantastic meal.
The cocktails were expertly crafted and a perfect way to start the evening. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered—tender, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. It’s clear that quality and attention to detail are priorities in the kitchen.
Just when we thought the meal couldn’t get any better, dessert exceeded expectations. Every bite was stellar and provided the perfect ending to an incredible dining experience.
Pierpont combines outstanding food, excellent drinks, and top-tier service into a memorable experience. Thanks to Anna and the entire staff for a wonderful evening. We will absolutely be back.”
“Mark Robinson and his team are conclusive and their ability to direct you into which area you can develop is key. They have a keen intuition for where the market is headed and when to makes profits. they are worth listening to. Try the consultation! And never go low in your portfolio even when the Market is in dip or pump.”
“Met some new friends for drinks on a Friday night. The vibe of this place is amazing. The cocktails and appetizers were exceptional and the staff was friendly & accommodating! We will definitely be back!!”
“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜”
“Chef J's BBQ was incredible! I was lucky enough to be able to order The Boss, therefore I got to try the Brisket and Jalapeno BBQ Sausage and both tasted fresh with the perfect amount of smoke. The ratio of fat and tender meat on the Brisket was perfect. My girlfriend and I showed up hungry and left with a full belly. The staff that work at Chef J's BBQ make you feel like your eating at home. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.”
“This is my favorite Indian restaurant! We always get the veggie pakora, butter chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi! The staff is very attentive and service is timely and kind. Highly recommend that you try this out!”
“We were having dinner celebrating my daughter and Patrice was our server. She was absolutely fabulous. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make our evening so special. My family has severe allergies and she made sure we felt comfortable with all our choices so we could relax and enjoy our night. I hope to have her take care of us again! It was a wonderful evening in every regard!”
“In August 2021, Hamburger Mary's Kansas City reported that the establishment would require proof of COVID-19 vaccination. I assumed the requirement had been lifted; however, I wanted to be sure I was prepared (I am vaccinated; my friend is not). Not to mention, I work in an academic/healthcare setting where masks & vaccination status are a daily consideration, so it's something still on my mind. Therefore, I sent Hamburger Mary's a very quick question via Facebook. Attached is a photo of the response I received. My question was in no way impolite, so I'm not sure why the business felt the need to say anything other than no. I'm not easily offended, but I also don't appreciate being spoken to in such a snarky manner for what I considered a perfectly reasonable & respectful question. I was really looking forward to visiting (and donating to a worthy cause!), but I have decided to celebrate my birthday elsewhere.”
“Lovely spot. Cozy and charming atmosphere, creative, delicious dishes and brilliant cocktail selection. I look forward to coming back on my next adventure to KCMO”
“We ate at Osteria Il Centro on a Saturday night at 5pm. Our server was Jay and he was wonderful. He suggested a red wine for my husband and N/A drinks for my daughter and I. We had the mushroom appetizers which were great. For our entres, we had the Lasagnia, Parmesan Chicken and the Orichette Gorgonzolla. The Lasagnia was the best I've ever had and the other two entre's were outstanding! Jay was so attentive and had a really fun sense of humor. All in all, we really can't wait to go back!”
“The vibes with curated music on the turntable, great happy hour prices and creative, delicious cocktails. The service was excellent, specifically Bradly who chose every record while making the drinks. Excellent experience.”

“My Daughter and I had a day trip to KC today, we came down to The City Market, we wanted to try something different. This place was Delicious! My taste buds danced in my mouth!! We will be going back!! Bert, Thanks so much for the experience!!!”
“Incredible place in KC River market. Make it a go to every time you are downtown”
“The best birthday dinner experience I've had! They made I feel so special. I'll be a forever patron. ❤️”
“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞”
“Service was good, but what I wanted they had ran out. I ordered prime rib and complementary bread I was told they ran out of prime rib and complementary bread. Therefore I ordered KC Steak Bone in, it was a little too salty. The steak was redone but I had to wait another 20 to 25 minutes. I'm not upset the steak was salty, because things happens. I will be dinning again because I loved the atmosphere, good customer service and the friendliness.”
“Kris was amazing! Great service, vibe and recommendations. We had a girls happy hour and it was the perfect spot for aesthetic photos, great cocktails, extensive wine list and great nibbles.”
“Love the Chicken ala Mer here! Best in town and would always recommend coming to this location over the KCK one. Food and service exceeded our expectations! Nick was a wonderful server - very prompt and “on it” for all our needs!! We will be back!!”
“Food was excellent and I would highly recommend the happy hour, the service was very engaging and helpful. It was a very family atmosphere seating could’ve been a little bit more comfortable. What are you gonna do?”
“Amazing staff and a great experience. Had a group of 4 and every drink was delicious. The surprise drink experience was really fun and they offer side cars for small portions. 10/10”
“Drinks were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Perfect, fresh, simple and trendy. The vibe was extremely refreshing for a Friday happy hour stop in.”
“My only beef with this place is that I have a list of places in Kansas City that I want to check out but can’t because I keep finding my way back here!
Anyone who leaves less than five stars has personal issues they need to work through.”
“I think it's worth trying at least once. I think the food was really good. Everything was very nice. The server was absolutely fantastic. Service was fantastic. I think it was a little weird but not as you talk to the chef it becomes less so. But yeah, I would recommend this place food's pretty good. I really like the rice. It's a good time. More of a show but like a really yummy show.”
“This restaurant has now become one of our favorite Italian restaurants! We celebrated my husband birthday there and had an absolutely wonderful night, from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service! Our server Sam made our evening! He was attentive and enjoyable! We can’t wait to go back! Try it you won’t be disappointed!!”

“This store is always prepped and ready to deliver on timely food and service. Food comes out quickly for a buffet and they keep the whole serving area neat and attractive. Bonus is that they keep tea servers full and silverware in stock during rushes. Best Pizza Ranch of all I have been to.”
“I'm impressed with the flavor of the food. They do have a problem substituting neck bones for oxtail. I hope they know that they not only look different but taste different. I do recommend the food. I like getting what I pay for. Ask me if I am willing to accept a substitute. Don't treat me like I'm stupid. My taste buds are very delicate and have discerned various taste across this country.”
“I went recently for some food and drinks and had some of the best service I've had anywhere! Halie was our server and she was extremely kind, informative and energetic. Very helpful with the food options and overall just made the experience great and unforgetable! Can't wait to come back and hopefully get her as my waitress again”
“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!”
“My wife and I had our first visit to La Fuente on New Years Eve. I am a hard person to make happy when it come to food. I must say it was the best. The restaurant was very clean, employees great and professional. Help my wife the menu and provide the very best service. We have found a new place for great times. Thankyou”

“Came back a second time! Absolutely loved my experience at Bristols in Creve Coeur! The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for any occasion. A huge shoutout to Brad, who truly made our visit memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and expert bartending skills impressed us all. The cocktails he crafted were not only beautifully presented but also delicious. Brad's knowledge of the menu and personalized recommendations elevated our evening. I can't wait to return and well-deservedly give him and the entire team a five-star rating for an outstanding dining experience! Awesome local restaurant, great atmosphere and service. Upscale all around. Rebecca was a nice attentive waitress. Great seafood.”
“Erica is a great bartender to say the least but she is extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu and literally led us to have the most amazing dinner/dinner date on our first night at KC. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Sit at the restaurant bar and you will see.
The food is amazing. Get the grilled
Octopus/ the Waygu/ and the pulled pork.
Out of this world!!”

“My family has had the pleasure of eating here twice. Our most recent visit was yesterday! The owner and staff make you feel right at home from the moment we walked in the door. My papdi chaat was perfection, mango lassi was refreshing, chicken shawarma wrap with fries & garlic sauce was delicious! My 13 yr. old son thoroughly enjoyed his butter chicken with naan! The atmosphere and food is a WINNING combination! KTM offers Mediterranean, Indian and Nepali food. Such a welcomed variety of foods to choose from. Support local! Outstanding food!! 👏 👏”
“Tonight we came to Thai Orchid for my birthday and sat in Dylan’s section and he was outstanding! So friendly and attentive. He gave us just enough time without being pushy. Our food was wonderful and fresh. I cannot recommend this location enough. We ordered the soft spring rolls, steamed dumplings, shrimp yellow curry and the shrimp pad Thai. Delicious!”
“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)”
