“Our service was a bit slow this time and when the restaurant is full it is painfully loud. However both circumstances can be explained by normal business operations. The food was delicious as always. Will be back again I am sure!”
“Went here for dinner with family and celebrated a birthday. We are all Italian and know good Italian food. It was really a great meal. I thought the sauce was excellent, which is why I think they give you so much of it. Will be visiting again soon.”
“My first time in, and I found it to be charming. A bright and tidy place in a more historic part of town. The baristas were sweet and fun. If you get a drip coffee and choose to enjoy on premises, you pick out your own mug and get a free refill. It was a perfect Sunday morning stop.”
“Tim was the best waiter. He was accommodating to our very large group and so much fun. He dealt with all of our loud chaos well. The drinks and food were good too and came out quickly. I got clam chowder and a lobster roll, which was great! Crab cakes were good too! We will definitely be coming back.”
“Edit: My clear view for best brewery in the city these days. World-class pilsners with exacting precision to specific regional styles. Extremely good modern IPA and pale ales. The barrel aged Madera beers are somehow both immensely rich and flavorful with technical excellence keeping them balanced and wanting more. The new cider was almost impossible dry, coming across more like a dry white wine then most videos I've had, a really impressive but also delicious pour.Exceptional coffee Porter, surprisingly good pilsner and Whit and just great beer across the board. Nothing particularly bold but they've only been around a few months. Maybe not as exciting as BKS but more consistently good.”

Restaurants with Delivery
“Fantastic barbecue! Easy to get to. Fast, friendly service. If you are picking friends up from the airport that want some great KC BBQ this is the place! If you aren't, it is definitely worth the drive. This isn't a chain, it's Scott (with a great crew). He is a competition BBQ enthusiast gone pro! We had Burnt End Tacos that were huge, two would have been plenty but I couldn't resist finishing the third. My son had a Buffalo Chicken Burrito, also tasty and filling. They were busy with lunch but the service was super fast and friendly. If you like great BBQ, this is the place! They also had some pastrami that we picked up to go for supper, fantastic as well, maybe some red pepper in there, nice twist on pastrami.”

“Went in for gelato and left with chocolate mousse cake, cannoli cheesecake, a lobster claw and a piece of coconut cake. Everything was absolutely delicious and can’t wait to go back!”
“10 million stars. 5 not even close to enough! Creme brulee and butter pecan are insanity inside the freshest of waffle cones! And on top of that they have insane customer service! IF YOU VISIT KC AREA AND Don't COME HERE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!!! I will be back everyday I'm in town!”
“Overall, great experience. Wait staff was courteous and navigated the menu with ease. Had Bruschetta, Made to Order Omelet with brunch potatoes and a chocolate, flourless torte.”
“The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and very filling, the place is clean and BEAUTIFULLY decorated, the staff are kind and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I love this restaurant! Thank you Baba’s Pantry. Best food in KC!”
“We stopped in because we saw so many other good reviews. You have two options for ordering. Order at the counter, or scan the QR code and order directly from your table (love that option).We tried two different burgers, the Blueberry Stout burger and the Prohibition Burger. We loved them both but the Prohibition burger edged out the Blueberry stout in our opinion. This burger is messy, but delicious. Covered in swiss cheese, thick cut bacon, arugula, avocado and bourbon carnalized onions.We also loved the fries. You have your choice of dipping sauces. We got honey mustard and drunken ketchup. Both were good. You also have a good choice of local beers and spirits to choose from.I might just vote these as the best burgers in KC. Not a cheap option, but the quality makes it worth it.”
Online Reservation Available
“Great dining experience! We sat at the chef’s counter and it was so cool to sit in front of the fire and watch all the food being made. The waitress was friendly and professional and made some great recommendations. She recommended 5-6 plates for the two of us. I highly recommend starting with the Clara Bow rolls. They are as good as everyone says they are. The croquettes and the bone marrow were also two of our favorites, but every dish was amazing and well presented. Overall, we may have found a new favorite restaurant in KC. Can’t wait to go back. Be sure to makes reservations as the place was quite busy. Also, check out the hotel bar if you have some time before or after.Update: We’ve been back several times now. You can’t go wrong here. Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!”

“We were in town for the NCAA wrestling tournament. We had a reservation and were seated within a half hour (which was amazing considering the sheer volume of people in this town). Our server was knowledgeable and recommended a ton of great dishes. We really enjoyed the itchy sea bass, spicy charred edemame, and the thriller roll. The sea bass and roll were so good, we actually ordered a second! Also try the China Doll cocktail!! Yum ?”
“A surprised diamond in the urban core of the city!!!! The atmosphere was clean, crisp, and upscale. The service was pleasant, attentive, and informative. The food specials were intriguing and danced on the palette like a ballerina! The halibut was perfect!!! I was expecting more of a showstopper from the lobster rolls although it had great flavors the garlic bread did not do it justice! The drinks and appetizers took the show! This is definitely a come again spot!!! And YES!!!! I didn’t mind saying Bloody Mary once, twice, and even three times!!!!!!”
“In the words of my husband “great drinks, great service, great food.” But actually, this is probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Kansas City. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The service is incredible and they really do go above and beyond. My husband and I both had different specials but the food was ”
“This place has the best steak tartare and filet mignon that I’ve ever had. The filet was so tender and juicy… simply the best. My family and I go every Christmas and it’s one of my favorite traditions because this place is so good!Kid-friendliness: My family and I go with everyone above 11 years old. That means that occasionally there may be a temper tantrum with the little ones but the staff always does their best to manage possible pickiness and short tempers.”
“Really enjoyed our evening out. The staff as well informed on the menu and assisted us in making our selections. Great food and perfect setting. We highly recommend this restaurant.”
“The other BK as we call it. Love it. We had brunch this morning and it was wonderful. Our server Paul was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Been here for dinner several times and it's always great. Will definitely be back for brunch! Sorry I forgot to take photos of our food at restaurant. I'm posting what's left of my delicious breakfast sandwich. Husband had an omelette.Btw be careful what ketchup you choose. They have 3 different flavors.”
“We had an issue at the beginning of the meal but the manager handled it very well. We were thankful for the help and our waiter was one of the best I’ve had! I was unsure about eating here at first because of the issue but now I’m going to be coming back very soon!”
“Every time my husband and I have dined here, it has been a treat. The food is excellent, and the wait staff are all top-notch. We have come for happy hour and their drink specials are all tasty as well. We will definitely be back.”
“I have attended a variety of poetic/open mic events here and the atmosphere is top tier. I love how this space is welcoming and it's always set up a different way each time.A perfect spot to meet some awesome people. Nestled in the heart of the city.Menu is light yet fulfilling and delicious decafe options are always available.3 words one awesome feeling:Honey Lavender LatteBlissCheck them out!! :)”
“This was our fourth visit to Eddie V‘s. I've traveled all over this country, as well as Europe and the UK. Eddie V's consistently provides some of the best food, service and ambience ever experienced. It was our 42nd anniversary dinner  and they made it a wonderful evening. Mindy was our waitress and did an exceptional job.”
“We had lunch in the café, and it was incredible. I ordered the quiche Lorraine and my sister the vol au vent, and we loved them both. The quiche has real Gruyère and Emmentaler cheeses. We had spinach salad, carrot salad, and potato and leek soup as well. It was all delicious. For dessert we had the chocolate raspberry pastry and a frozen almond torte I think? The desserts were light and airy and heavenly.I wanted to come here after being in Switzerland, and my expectations were high. I would say everything I had was five stars. The service was outstanding.The only criticism I have is- much of the food I had in Switzerland wasn’t on the menu here, such as fondue, raclette, alpermagronen, rosti, bratwurst, etc. And there may be valid reasons they don’t serve those dishes, but I would love to be able to find them here in the U.S. My suggestion would be to offer more authentic Swiss dishes, but either way, I’ll definitely be back here when I’m lonesome for Switzerland!”
“This was my first time trying Kata Nori and I loved it! It's very limited seating so definitely make a reservation. The staff was very helpful in explaining how everything works and making recommendations. The hand rolls were definitely my favorite - we tried most of them and really enjoyed. Will definitely be back!”
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars. They deserve it. Me and the wife tried the one down in Dallas and loved it so when we found out there was one closer. We wanted to try it too, and today was the day. They was extremely flexible with our reservation (originally made for 730, they us change it to 6.)The server was great, friendly and professional and made awesome suggestions.The manager came out to let us know that one of the meals was over done, so it was going to be a few more minutes, and offered us free salads or soups.My wife had the lamb, which we both would recommend 100% I had the filet this time which was equally good. I had the Asparagus soup, which reminded me of a richer broccoli and cheese soup. We also had the Ahi Tartare, normally not my thing, but wanted to try something different, it didn't disappoint, if you like Ahi, I'd recommend.”
“This place is AMAZING. We found it by accident as we were driving through on our way north. Hands down the best vegan soul food I have ever tasted. Collard greens were complex and flavorful, the corn bread was absolutely luscious, and the sauce on the vegan brisket was out of this wold. If they were in Minneapolis I'd eat there every single day. The space was bright and cheerful and the staff was incredibly welcoming. What a treat!”

24 Hour Restaurants
“The prices are a little much for a single cheeseburger, fries, and a shake, but the quality is very good and 24 hours is an amazing luxury. Lots of homeless around at night so be careful, but I enjoyed my meal.Parking: Parking lot with 10 spots next to the location, but other than that it’s all street parking.”
“I don’t know why the ratings isn’t 5.0! This place is amazing best service I’ve ever had. I love the old fashion theme. I most definitely plan on coming back again! The food is amazing!!!!”
“Best Waffle House around. The waiter and cook were friendly and good at what they do. The place was clean and orderly. The food was by far the best breakfast I have had in many years. Far better than any restaurant I have been to including much more expensive places. It was the level of care and attention to detail that made the meal. You could just tell they strive to provide the best possible service and product for their customers. They obviously see there job as more than just a paycheck. Will be returning every week.”
“We went in and ordered on the kiosks. They got our order correct and we had no issues. I love the bacon cheeseburgers here and the fries are so good! The manager even came out and checked on us after we had ate a little bit. I highly recommend!”
“Had the waffler to my wedding reception as an after party treat for guests leaving the venue. Let me start by saying, Keenan (spelling?) was top notch with everything. He made sure we had the best options and set expectations for what to expect. The food, and service, was fantastic! Everyone was extremely pleased with the food truck and I am glad the business could be apart of my big day. Trust me, use the waffler for your next event....you will not be disappointed.”
“Staff was a little eccentric but very friendly. Not crowded like waffle house can sometimes get. There was a mysterious stain on the napkins when I pulled one out.Food was good.”
“Arrived at 0833 for a 0900 appt, Empty and on the road 0859. I can see how some of the docks can be a little tight to get into. No overnight parking anywhere around here.”
“It was great experience came as a group we all tried it for the first time I got the triple burger it was good but maybe a little overhyped still going to try more of the menu and add more onto this employees really nice and respectful my cup had a hole at the bottom and didn't notice it thought it was part of the condensation but it turned out it wasn't and employee was the one who noticed and Gave me a new cup and apologized for the inconvenience, highly recommended for atmosphere and chilling having a great time with people who care about their service and quality of experience. Great job will be back soon to try new things!Parking: They have their own parking lot”
“They ask about Atmosphere.... REALLY. It's a Whataburger, not a 5 star, restaurant. The closest thing I have came to a BRAUMS burger. To me, it's better than 5 guys.”
“Place looked little messy, floors were sticky. Took longer to get our food than the other fast food establishments. Place wasn't packed persei. My husband liked what he had. Me? I wasn't very thrilled.”
“Tres leches pancakesLove love love love everything from customer service to the food and they give you to go drinks. Go to this location surrounding shopping center highway entrance. IKEA, Michaels, Petco.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten freeKid-friendliness: Family oriented establishment”
“Great crews here! & the food is extremely good. Very fresh food -equipment must be well maintained & cleaned often. -no grease smell & looks great! Would definitely recommend ?”
“This particular BK was wonderbar, in the German vernacular. The wheel chair accessible restrooms, the Whopper, the atmosphere...All very tidy....you get a crown.... thanks.Wheelchair accessibility: Marvelous. Not an afterthought. Purposely created. Thanks.”
“My French fries were not hot after I asked for hot ones. The young lady looked at me like I had said something wrong, so I asked a gentleman standing there to try my fries, and he also said they were room temp, and she replaced them with hot ones.”
“Went through the drive-thru at approximately 1:45 a.m. the man at the window was very polite read my order back completely triple check to make sure I left with the correct order even going as far as making me piping hot friesParking: Plenty of Open spaces at the time that I went through”

Takeout Restaurants
“A typical, quick, breakfast place with the usual selection of breakfast fare except no hashbrowns offered.Service was excellent - staff asked if I was new to the area as "it's usually a local spot".Wheelchair accessibility: Normal sized doorways, however not sure if automatic doors openers were present.”
“I come here frequently after getting groceries, one lady remembers me now and knows exactly what I order. I tried something new and it was delicious, I went to reorder it today and I accidentally ordered a tea instead of a latte. I did not like the tea and they made me a new drink even though it was my fault. I love this little shop! The Brown Sugar Boba Latte is my favorite. It is a small shop in downtown, so there arent a lot of places to park, which is to be expected. Good thing I walk everywhere. :)”
“The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and very filling, the place is clean and BEAUTIFULLY decorated, the staff are kind and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I love this restaurant! Thank you Baba’s Pantry. Best food in KC!”

“It is a lovely place to spend time and grab some delicious breakfast items and fantastic coffee. I love the three story building, and it is so nice to be able to take your food and beverage to a window seat upstairs and just start your day off on the best foot, overlooking your amazing city. My bestie and I had your wonderfully delicious ham and cheese croissant (my favorite) with an amazing and beautiful latte. What a treat, and what a great place to catch up with friends!! Thank you for your great food and service. Your staff were the best, and your lovely thermos is my daily treat souvenir! I can't wait to stop back in the next time I am in town. Highly recommend!!”
“This is the best food in kc hands down. Like jaw droppingly delicious. Like I don’t know how I survived before discovering this place. Everything is authentic and perfect and ”
“Hey Kansas City! If you were looking for breakfast, brunch, and hot coffee in Kansas City....Happy Gillis is the place to check out! This popular local breakfast gem is cute, quaint, and covered with beautiful plants. There are a few tables to sit at inside of the cafe to enjoy your meal. A lot of people will order their food to go and will take it to the nearby park to have a picnic when it is warm or they will take their meal back home to enjoy! If you order in person, there is a refillable coffee stand when you can keep your coffee cup warm and full. My favorite item to order is the class biscuits & gravy with a side of bacon. Unbelievable! There are a lot of fresh and tasty options on the Happy Gillis Cafe & Hangout menu. Stop by this little spot today!”
“VERY LARGE SERVINGS. I got the Tres Marias and needed my friend’s help to finish it. Ice cream was delicious. Employee was very sweet and helpful. Clean establishment. Speaks both Spanish and English. You will definitely get your money’s worth!”
“My husband and I had our date night at Cascone's and everything was delicious! We started with the bread and Sicilian dip. Always a great way to start.My husband had the The Italian Flag which gives you three different dishes - baked lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine alfredo. He said each was absolutely amazing. The sauces were well seasoned and so tasty. The noodles were nicely coated and the chicken was cooked perfectly. He added on two meatballs because he couldn't resist and the were spot on as well. There was a lot of food, so his remainders came home with us in a to-go box.I had the Crazy Alfredo. I love how you get to have chicken, Italian sausage and shrimp in the creamy, yummy Alfredo sauce. It has banana peppers which add the perfect tang to your bites. I can't forget to mention the sun dried tomato as well. It all comes together so well and again was just delicious.We shared a piece of chocolate cake for dessert and wow! It was just the right amount of sweet and was the perfect end to a lovely meal. We can't wait to come back.”
“The brisket is some of the best I've ever had. So tender you don't need a knife to cut it. Smoke ring was spot on and the flavor was perfect. Just the perfect blend of smokiness! I'll definitely be back when I visit KC again!”

“My friend and I were starving and were going to settle for some mediocre fast food. Chickn n Waffle was right next to us, so we decided to give it a shot. The expectations were low because the building looked outdated and was right next to a weak dispensary. Upon looking it up on google, I was surprised to see it had 4.7 stars! Could it be a stoners paradise? Or could the food really that good? We ordered boneless chicken wings with the Asian chili sauce. The young lady taking our order was as sweet as a belle and had us pull aside for our wings to be freshly fried. A nice gentleman brought out our order with a smile and we unveiled the contents of the takeout container in the parking lot, only to be pleasantly surprised with the portion size and shiny glaze on the inside wings with sesame seeds and thick crispy fries. We tried a fry first and it was crunchy on the outside and a pillow on the inside. Immediately taken back with how perfect the fries were. One dunk into the ranch with a boneless wing, it headed straight for me mouth. Jesus must’ve been in that kitchen, because that was the juiciest, freshest, perfectly seasoned, most amazing chicken wing I’ve ever had. I will come here again. Enjoy. Yes, I forgot a photo because I was enticed by the food and forgot.”
“The yummiest coffee in the Northland! Always quick (even with the huge lines that form) and baristas are ALWAYS in a positive mood. Never had an order wrong once, I go almost daily, and if I try something new and don’t like it they are more than happy to replace it for me.”
“Incredible coffee and great people! Came from out of state for a few days and tried this place out a few times. I’m sad to leave such amazing coffee behind. I found something called the Ethiopian Macchiato and it was perfection. Super chill atmosphere and amazing people.”
“We had a work group reserve 3 lanes on a Wednesday night. Staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful. All had a good time. I did not eat while I was there, but others seem to enjoy the food. I would go back and recommend.”
“I grew up on "Tub". It's the best for tacos, burritos w/cheese and sauce. The cheese burgers are loose meat and fabulous.! Hamburgers are known as pocket burgers! Just the best place!”
“What's good yall! Just want to give a shout out to KC BURGERS! Originally from Chicago and me and the family came out to eat! It was amazing and the good part it was 45 minutes into closing and the food was still fresh! It was lit!!”
“Great tacos, nachos and burritos. As good today as they were 38 years ago when I got my first taste of the mystery meat and powdered cheese. Can't wait to go back.”
“Coffee is on point, food is hearty and healthy. vibe is calm with great music. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond. So happy to have this in our neighborhood!”
“Visited Linwood Chinese Express for lunch today and ordered Pepper Beef. I'd hoped to order schezwan beef but they don't make that here. I ordered pepper beef instead. The total came to 13.26, for the entree, fried rice, and 1 crab rangoon. The place is drive-thru only and cash only; I waited approximately 10 min in the drive-thru from order to pick-up. Service was super friendly and the portion was huge-- as a light eater, I can easily get 3 meals out of this. Someone who eats more could get 2 meals. Compared with other local Chinese spots in Kansas City, I'd say you can expect a pretty decent experience here.”
“I bought the Citrus 3 and Root 3 both were excellent, I will definitely be coming back. She recommended a book about eating a plant based diet and I've forgotten the name, if you remember please respond.”
“Family run. Authentic. Quick from so much practice and lifestyle. Don't let the small size fool you, it will fill up with a whole line of cars outside. Fresh deli counter with imported goods inside as well. Come for the smells!Parking: Tight fit. There's a drive through? How do you get to that? It's an experience all it's ownWheelchair accessibility: Hard for wheelchair. Very little space. Hard to get in front door because of the land it's built on; it's not their fault”
“I truly recommend anyone who loves yummy food go to this Culver's. The food is always freshly made and the custard is so freaking delicious. Also the server's are really cool and respectful. The atmosphere is also very peaceful.Parking: Nice spots to park your car.”
“Finally found good Chinese food in the Kansas City area.This is the best kept Chinese food secret in Kansas City. Their food isn't greasy and is deliciously tasty. I always order the vegetarian fried rice or vegetarian lo mein. Their egg fried rice is delicious too.”
“I have been going to this Caribou location for quite a while and each time the service is fast and friendly. They use high quality beans and cut a perfect latte every time. Not once have I gotten a bitter coffee like other places.”
“Love this drive thru spot for coffee. The staff are always exceptionally kind. If you need a happy smile pick-me-up with your coffee, then this is the place to go.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of being a guest at Mercury Room. I absolutely loved everything about it, including how it smelled. Would you kindly let me know what incense or what type of fragrance is used? I remember going up the elevator and walking through the hallway leading to the room and absolutely loved the scent, and everything thereafter. It was a great experience, the atmosphere, the champagne, the decoration, the service, and not to mention again the scent the room had.”
“Best experience I've had! Valet parking was amazing. Upon arrival staff all greeted us with a small. Our waiter was amazing and very professional. Food was amazing. The table set up was simple but meant so much to us for my husband special day. I will be back and look forward spreading the word.”
“I Decided to try this place out for the first time on my Birthday! Hands down an amazing experience all around. Jeff and his team made my Birthday so wonderful and the food was mind blowing! If you haven't tried it you definitely should!”
“Love this place, food is delicious and bar area for a more casual outing is fun and fancy vibes! They usually have music by the bar area, we have fancy dinners and quick date nights there. It is a mini getaway!”
“We came here for a business dinner but the entry to the restaurant was quite interesting. We got seated and place was filling in slowly. We got our drinks n bread and ordered some lovely apps. Baked Escargot and Tuna Tartare for appetizers was a perfect choice. Escargot was buttery and tuna with some Avocado was absolute delicious. Escargot was definitely the highlight of the night. Then we got some salad and French onion soup. My soup was good, nothing extraordinary. For main course, I ordered boneless ribeye with bone marrow butter w/ some spinach n scalloped potatoes. Everything was absolutely perfect, steak was top notch, probably the butter enhanced the flavor. For dessert, ordered the crème brûlée and it was good with perfect amount of sweetness, the berries with cream.What a great meal, don’t forget to try their signature old fashioned with house bourbon.If I am in Des Moines again, will definitely eat here.Parking: Park across the street at 901 and walk across the skywalk.”
“Note: the American still hosts private events that people can buy tickets to go to. You just have to wait until they announce a new event on their social media page (like on Facebook).”

Cascone's
“My husband and I had our date night at Cascone's and everything was delicious! We started with the bread and Sicilian dip. Always a great way to start.My husband had the The Italian Flag which gives you three different dishes - baked lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine alfredo. He said each was absolutely amazing. The sauces were well seasoned and so tasty. The noodles were nicely coated and the chicken was cooked perfectly. He added on two meatballs because he couldn't resist and the were spot on as well. There was a lot of food, so his remainders came home with us in a to-go box.I had the Crazy Alfredo. I love how you get to have chicken, Italian sausage and shrimp in the creamy, yummy Alfredo sauce. It has banana peppers which add the perfect tang to your bites. I can't forget to mention the sun dried tomato as well. It all comes together so well and again was just delicious.We shared a piece of chocolate cake for dessert and wow! It was just the right amount of sweet and was the perfect end to a lovely meal. We can't wait to come back.”
Cheap Eats
“If you've ever thought to yourself "I could go for something sweet" TWO SUGARS is a must. First thing I noticed walking in was good music. Paired with Great coffee, and what may be the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. It was worth the visit.”
“My favorite brewery in KC, hands down. They always brew a variety of beer and every kind they brew is so yummy! Sours, Blondes, Souts, IPA’s. Chill vibe too, and you can order food and have it delivered!”
“I’m plant based and recently came across this place. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their Falafel! Great customer service, very friendly spirits! Will return, and definitely RECOMMEND!”
“Great little authentic Italian spot for amazing pizzas and other items. John keeps the highest quality standards and you won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget getting a box of cookies!”
“If you've never been to Kitty's you need to stop reading these reviews and go right now.This is an amazing spot with a ton of history and has the best fast sandwich in KC. They don't skimp on the portion either, these are big sandwiches and they're 110% worth the money and wait.I love this spot and if you've never had it you're in for an absolute treat.”
“"I recently enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Sunrise on 39th! The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. From the warm hospitality to the mouthwatering dishes, it was a truly memorable experience. Can't wait to visit again!"”
“Been coming here for years but finally getting around to telling you how great the pho is! I have since found better places for my taste buds, but this place was the OG they have plenty of space now that they opened up the other side and that's been there for awhile now. Fast payment when ready and the staff can be hit or miss. They don't exactly come by and refill my drink as often probably to save money on not refilling everyone's drink all the time. Overall I still like this place even if there are better options now.”
“Maddie provided great service. She was checking on us regularly to see if we needed anything. Excellent service and environment. We love coming to Jerusalem Cafe!”
“I came here for the first time today with a couple of friends of mine and we all agree that the vibes of this shop was so fitting with what we needed. Chill and vibrant at the same time. Great drinks. My partner got the coffee flight and I got the Horchata latte. Incredible drinks to say the least. We’ll be back for sure.”
“Nathan was the young man that served us tonight. He was cheerful, competent and quick! It was our first visit and the reviews were absolutely correct! It is definitely the best ice cream place around! Everything was flavorful and creamy and perfect! May God bless this business and everyone who goes!”
“A Kansas City institution! All the product you could want. Tours. And beer. So much beer. Stuff you may never see anywhere else. Just be careful about falling in love with those limited run taps though. Once they are gone, they're gone. Great communal seating. Awesome porch when the weather permits. Don't miss out on the food.”
“After the parade my friends and I decided to try this place and it was amazing! The food was delicious, the servers were so quick, kind and caring and even brought us out some very awesome cookies after we finished eating. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for some new Mexican restaurants to ”
“Anita's box lunches and cinnamon rolls were served at a conference I attended and they were amazing!!! Whether you need to cater a large event or just want a tasty treat, Anita's Favorite Rolls is the place to go!!”
“I received a key lime pie for my birthday and I must say that was the most delicious key lime pie. Every bite was wonderful. I will definitely try other pies from Ashleigh’s Bakeshop.”
“In town on a Sunday night stopped in with no expectations. Pleasantly surprised. Classy, smooth, old school vibes. Friendly staff and the live jazz band on both floors was a nice touch. 9/10, just wish they had a bit more food but I understand it's a bar and not a restaurant. I loved they had a non alcohol shroom drink option.”
“This was our fourth visit to Eddie V‘s. I've traveled all over this country, as well as Europe and the UK. Eddie V's consistently provides some of the best food, service and ambience ever experienced. It was our 42nd anniversary dinner  and they made it a wonderful evening. Mindy was our waitress and did an exceptional job.”
“Man that was good! We were going to go to Manny's, glad we went to Lilly's to try something new. The best hole in the wall around. Food is amazing, staff was personable, watching out the window is real KC. Love this place!”

The Fix!
“My wife ordered food from this place by accident. Not sure how she did this but she did. All I know is that two veggie burritos were ordered. I ate on for dinner and the second one for lunch the next day. They were both excellent! So tasty and can't wait to try other menu items here. Keep up the good work!”
“This was my first time trying Kata Nori and I loved it! It's very limited seating so definitely make a reservation. The staff was very helpful in explaining how everything works and making recommendations. The hand rolls were definitely my favorite - we tried most of them and really enjoyed. Will definitely be back!”

Jim's
“We absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere. The Reuben sandwich is the best Reuben we've ever had. The patty melt was extremely delicious as well. I loved the potato hash as a side it was unique and flavorful. The service was great. Our waiter was friendly, informative, and very attentive. We are definitely making this a regular stop.”

Seasons 52
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars. They deserve it. Me and the wife tried the one down in Dallas and loved it so when we found out there was one closer. We wanted to try it too, and today was the day. They was extremely flexible with our reservation (originally made for 730, they us change it to 6.)The server was great, friendly and professional and made awesome suggestions.The manager came out to let us know that one of the meals was over done, so it was going to be a few more minutes, and offered us free salads or soups.My wife had the lamb, which we both would recommend 100% I had the filet this time which was equally good. I had the Asparagus soup, which reminded me of a richer broccoli and cheese soup. We also had the Ahi Tartare, normally not my thing, but wanted to try something different, it didn't disappoint, if you like Ahi, I'd recommend.”
“We order from here for the first time and the owner (I think owner) was amazing! While we were waiting for our food to finish, he let us try a slice before our meal. Probably one of the best pizza places I have had. And the wingsss, oh my goodness, cooked perfectly as well as sauced. I would definitely recommend!”
“The people at J. Rieger never disappoint and have time and time again put out the best product available.The Hey! Hey! is one they nailed with every element.Our second time visiting, this time during the Sippin Santa take over. The elite service and swanky yet comfortable atmosphere we experienced before was replicated once again, just with a tropical Santa twist.If you haven't been, you should.”

Room 39
“A local favorite, always fresh, always delicious, small friendly vibes, incredible cocktails, what more can I say? Breakfast and lunch are bubbly and full of incredible options for all dietary restrictions. Vegan turmeric tofu scramble is both vegan and gluten free. Dinner vibes are moody with lots of candlelight. House made pasta and gnocchi, to die for, crab cakes and chicken livers are always raved about. Local beers and spirits, including NA options, served by knowledgable and friendly bartenders. For nearly twenty years Room 39 has served delightful experiences.”
“I started coming here about a year ago, and I can say hands down that this is one of my favorite places to get breakfast or brunch in KC. You are surrounded by KINDNESS and positive people, GREAT food and the lovely buzz of neighborhood families sharing food and conversation. They change the month to reflect the seasons and use many local ingredients. It’s always such a lovely surprise when the new menu comes out because you are certain to find something that you love to eat❤️.Today, Steve and I ordered the turkey avocado sandwich, and a new item on the menu, carrot cake, pancakes with eggs and sausage… and our waitress, Julianne (one month into her job here but worked efficiently and joyfully as if she had been here forever) delivered two exceptional meals. She wrapped the extra pancake to go.We left full and happy. You will, too! If you’ve never been to HomeGrown in the KC community of Brookside, step out of your routine and go! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This is my absolute favorite place to get Indian food. The food is delicious, the staff is always friendly, and the prices are affordable. I always do a take out order in person and they are so quick! I recommend this place everyone I meet!”
“I served in the Navy and I’ll salute this West Point grad for what he does. The name is for the red sash some leaders wear at West Point (GO NAVY!). This is good beer with a good selection. Veterans get 20% off and are asked to sign the wall. The staff is super friendly and the location is right in the middle of a stretch of breweries. Definitely a spot to go to and I recommend the Tropic Lightning (named for the 25th Infantry Division). Get on down there and drink a beer!”

La Bodega
“Our experience at La Bodega was overall really good. The food and drinks were delicious, and the service and atmosphere were nice.We ordered one pulled pork tapa and the paella verduras and 2 Spanish coffees!Flavors were unique and tasty.We were under the impression that our coffees would be prepared tableside and were a little disappointed that they were prepared at the bar. We saw that another table ordered the same thing, and it was prepared at their table. So be sure to ask if you are expecting it to be a table side experience.The other note I would make is that while the tapas are delicious, they are not a good value. The portions are very small. The paella, in my opinion, was a better value.We would come back again, but would probably stick with just the paella and drinks.”
“Wonderful dinner with family. The best burrata in KC. Superior lasagna bolognese and house made cheesecake. Our party loved the eggplant fries. Addie, our server, was welcoming, knowledgeable and very friendly. We will definitely return.”
“This my favorite spot in Kansas City. Every bartender is incredible and creative. My favorite bartender from here, Bronson, sells his milk punch at liquor stores all over KC. Their brunch is unbeatable. Their hamburgers are magic. Their steak and frites on Tuesday have extended my life.Incredible date spot.”
“Food was so delicious, as was my beverage. Service was fantastic. We were so hungry that we neglected to take photos. Would highly recommend this place. A bit pricey, but also not terrible. One negative was it was cold and I was freezing.”
“Great dining experience! We sat at the chef’s counter and it was so cool to sit in front of the fire and watch all the food being made. The waitress was friendly and professional and made some great recommendations. She recommended 5-6 plates for the two of us. I highly recommend starting with the Clara Bow rolls. They are as good as everyone says they are. The croquettes and the bone marrow were also two of our favorites, but every dish was amazing and well presented. Overall, we may have found a new favorite restaurant in KC. Can’t wait to go back. Be sure to makes reservations as the place was quite busy. Also, check out the hotel bar if you have some time before or after.Update: We’ve been back several times now. You can’t go wrong here. Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!”
“I have always wanted to try crepes, so we decided to check out Seven Swans Creperie. I got the Paris crepe while my boyfriend got the French toast crepe. Both were absolutely delicious!They offered Savory, Sweet, and Seasonal,and I believe there was a vegan option too. So something for everyone and plenty of reasons to check back every so often.The staff was all very friendly and gave great recommendations on what to try. The restaurant is located in a nice little corner spot, making the interior cozy. The place is decorated in a way that feels like you are stepping into a fairytale cottage. Mix match wooden chairs, plenty of green plants, cute little pops of charm and color.We walked there but it looks like there is some street parking along the side street.”

PotPie
“A small bit wonderful spot that's been in KC for years. Pot Pie provides one with that feeling of home and the salads are leagues above your standard ice burg lettuce you get at other places. This is a warm homie atmosphere devoid of the echoed sounds of a cafeteria to get in larger restaurants. This also means seating can be limited so make your reservation early and enjoy!Vegetarian options: Not necessarily vegan but yes there are vegetarian options.Parking: If you cannot find parking on the street there is a parking lot nestled in the back. However this parking also serves the restaurant next door. So you'll want to arrive a bit early to insure a parking spot.”

Extra Virgin
“One of the best dining experiences I have had in Kansas City. The food was AMAZING. My only regrets are that I did not have more room to try more dishes and when I come back I'll have to decide if I want to try new dishes or get the amazing ones of already tried. They make one the best old fashioneds I've ever had. My wife got the Keylime Me Softly, which was an amazing drink made with pisco and tasted just like key lime pie.”
“A nostalgic environment. The menu is limited, but the food is excellent. Note that the menu slightly changes from week to week, or month to month or seasonly. So check their website. The artwork at the 21c was beautiful. And the TV was showing silent movies from the past. An excellent restaurant for dinner. We'll definitely be back.”
“Sat at the bar. Friendly and attentive staff. Monday night special Burger 5.00 very good fries 2.00. Menu looked reasonably priced. Great selection of tap beer and variety of others.”

Wah Gwan
“Love, love, love everything about this wonderful place. Also, super happy you switched from Styrofoam containers!! The Jerk Chicken is absolutely delicious. It falls right off the bone. The cabbage and rice is amazing. The plantains are excellent. The owner is super nice and their staff is just as nice. This is a 5+ star place. I can't get enough! It's always a treat.”
“We stopped by to try it out. I got the breakfast sandwich on Brioche, egg, cheese and sausage. Husband go the Biscuits and Gravy. My sandwich was very tasty. The biscuits and gravy were OK, a little dry and heavily seasoned with herbs. Would like to come back and try some other items on their menu. The service and atmosphere were great!”
“Jackstack is an institution in KC and a must try BBQ place. It's definitely my favorite place for ribs. And do not waste time trying other things, just order the giant beef back ribs. It's THE BEST! It's big, it's tender, it's cooked to perfection with the BBQ flavor soaked in through and through. This is what BBQ is all about, a tender piece of meat on the bones that you can sink your teeth in. And trust me you are getting an amazing value here, 35 dollars for 8 giant ribs that can feed family of 4, it's a deal you cannot beat.”
“Came here for 2023/2024 Super Bowl parade and this place was awesome. It was my first time here, the people were amazing, the staff was hustling, the bathrooms were clean! Bring your friends, it’s a party!”

Farina
“Had an overall good experience. The food was excellent, and was portioned very nicely. recommend the veal chop and duck meatballs as they were excellent. Aside from the food, our service was disappointing. Our sever seemed to not care and did nothing to add to our experience which displeased us. We had high expectations after being to other restaurants in the area of similar caliber but Farina disappointed in this category.”

“Top five favorite places to eat in Kansas City.Every detail from the front counter to the bathrooms was thought out and fits their vibe.Food is cooked on an open fire which is very unique. All breads are baked in house.The staff is beyond nice and the table markers are old license plates.How cute!”

OurHouseKC
“First timer here! The food here was great and freshly prepared! We ordered the brussel sprouts first, then the Smoked Cuterie Platter with burnt ends. All the meats were tender and well smoked. Also enjoyed the bbq sauce. You should try them out! Note that you go to the counter to order and pay, then they bring the food to your table. No waitstaff. Also, be sure to park in the garage off State Line. They do validate your parking for up to 3 hours.”
“Char Bar is a go to BBQ place in Westport. Portion sizes are great, tender, juicy and flavorful meats. Even the few vegetarian options they have taste great.Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but usually good. Staff members are friendly (servers and bartenders) but hosts can be a tad bit curt, not in a rude way though.Their side options are all very good, can't go wrong with Jo Jo potatoes! Cornbread muffins are great too!”
“I started asking for my cinnamon rolls before the chicken and I'm not going back. I love the large amount of cheese on the side salads. The gravy could be listed as a beverage.”
“I'm an old timer who dropped in to see if the Golden Ox bar had changed. Thankfully it was the same as it always has been. Wise decision by the Stockyards Brewing Co. Truly an iconic spot.”

Chef J BBQ
“Not only is this the best barbecue in Kansas City by far. This is the best food in Kansas City by far. I am born and raised in Kansas City and I have never had anything like this. I had heard that this is the best in the city, but I didn't believe it. Wonderful customer service, the perfect place to eat, and the best food I have had in Kansas City. Get there early so you can get what you want, but I guarantee anything you get here is going to be astounding. Thank you Chef J, you really have a special place.”
“So good! The pick 3 sampler was more than adequate to feed us both, and our server was super nice and helpful. We're glad we stopped in for some real KC BBQ!”

Bacaro Primo
“BP is a very nice, cozy, well thought out local Italian restaurant. I love the ambiance, lighting, and overall layout. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Overall, I don't view BP as a destination restaurant. I wasn't overly wowed by the food overall, but it was solid at every turn. The fococcia was the one standout. If I lived nearby I'd probably visit a couple times a year. Nice date night spot.”
“The staff was polite, the dining room was immaculate and the food was amazing.Vegetarian options: Large selection of both vegetarian and vegan dishes. Most vegetarian items can be prepared vegan upon request. I’ve noticed that most restaurants in the area have little to no vegan options, whereas Seva offers a wonderful array of plant based dishes, all of which are customizable including the level of spice.Kid-friendliness: Seva may have the cleanest dining room and buffet area I have ever seen. Dishes are customizable for picky eaters. My 6 year noticed that the lunch buffet is at a height where he could actually see the dishes and he wants to go back and eat there next time instead of ordering carry out. They also replaced the drink he dropped.”
“This place and it's staff need to be given an award for their service to the community the food is on point and even basic interaction with the staff will pull you out of a sad place! Keep this place alive KC!”
“This place is a hidden gem! They have won many awards since they opened and you will see why. The food is absolutely AMAZING! I usually order online, but we went to the restaurant a few days ago and it’s even better than expected. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a very fun and elegant atmosphere. The food is exceptional! Try the Chicken Tikka Marsala! It is amazing especially with some garlic naan! The service was exceptional. We were seated quickly and received our food very quickly. This is the best Indian restaurant in the area and I would argue in all of Kansas City. You will not be disappointed!”
“We just recently went after a long time of having on the to go list. This place is great, everything we ate was very good and the service was exceptional. My favorite thing about the food is they really let the ingredients speak for themselves and there's real depth of flavor with how the spice as well. The drinks put us at about $75 a person but that also included a taste of soup, an appetizer, 2 pastas and a dessert. Not outrageous for the quality at all.We had a taste of butternut squash soup and it was outstanding. Shrimp and grits was also outstanding but if you aren't a texture person you probably will not enjoy the sorghum. My duck agnolotti was fantastic, the duck shines but the layers of flavor put it over the top. I didn't enjoy my wife's crab dish but I avoided it for that reason.The topper was the chocolate mousse dessert. Absolutely one of the best desserts I can remember eating.”

Barbacoa
“The food was amazing so really no complaints there at all. I think we tried everything they had on the menu and it was all so good. The ambiance would be my only critique and didn’t feel it matched the quality of the good but it wouldn’t keep me from going back.”
“River Bluff brewery is an amazing brewery to grab a pint at. They are constantly rotating their offerings to keep their beers fresh. My personal favorite are the Arrowhead Red (Irish red) and the Jess beer”
“First time here but it instantly became a favorite. Mike and Julian were great on piano and drums, I talked to the owner about how they have open mic and karaoke nights planned, but then on top of that the bartenders all don rockstar mics and sing beautifully while still tending bar? The vibe from the staff is incredible.”
“Very neat dive bar and a very good Bloody Mary. Stopped in on a Sunday and the crowd was a mix. Felt like the place had a kind of people they prefer and we didn't necessarily fit in. I'd try again just to see if it was an off day but...”

Dos de Oros
“Came here with a group of ladies. We were greeted right away and didn't wait long at all for a table. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The food came out fairly fast. I got enchiladas rancheros which was the special. It was very good. Two cheese enchiladas with Carne Asada on top. The chips and salsa were good too and they were always kept full. I'll also ordered a sangria which was pretty tasty, with some fruit in it. I'll visit again if I'm in the area.”
“I had the smoked gouda turkey burger with a side salad and both were delicious. The burger had a wonderful mustard sauce. We got there about 11:30 on a Thursday and had no trouble getting a table. By noon the restaurant was filling up. Our server was very attentive and helpful with the menu. All items had their calorie count.”

“I received a order through DoorDash a few days ago that wasn't correct. I spoke with Kevin the manager and he went above and beyond to helped me. He was so nice and corrected my order. Thank you Kevin!”
“Everything is super richThe rolls are at affordable pricesThe ramen tastes goodKid-friendliness: My children loved the rollsThe rice dish with vegetables is a very good option”
“This is our go-to place for sushi in KC. Take out or dine in, the bento boxes are delicious, filling, and affordable, ramen is excellent, and sushi is unparalleled in our very-landlocked metropolis. Staff are always friendly and professional.”
“Amazing food and impeccable service! Atmosphere is nice, but the restaurant runs cold, which takes away from the experience. The seats by the windows are the worst.”
“I had a blast listening to everyone and collaborating. The food was good, service was wonderful, and actors seemed to really enjoy their parts. Loads of entertainment!”
“Hands down, one of the best breweries I have been to, and their Hazy IPAs are some of the best I have ever tasted! Soft, pillowy, juicy....just amazing. Also don't sleep on their Pivo series, some amazing pils and lagers. The taproom is very unassuming at first, but is cozy and comfortable and has a nice outdoor space attached. Staff was so friendly! This will be a must stop anytime I am in KC!”

Affäre
“Absolutely one of my new favorite restaurants! The staff were so courteous, pleasant and attentive I felt like a superstar patron or family! The charcuterie appetizer we ordered was amazing. The wild boar chop was a little tough because it was so lean but we were cautioned about that possibility before we ordered. The mushroom cream sauce on the chop was fabulous as was the Bavarian cabbage and hazelnut spätzle sides. The KÄSESAHNETORTE a quark cheese mousse with lemon and berries is to die for and worth a return trip just for it! Best birthday present I've ever gotten for my partner especially since I got to enjoy every bit(e) as much! I HIGHLY recommend a visit sooner rather than later to this amazing restaurant?”
“This is one of the top 3 best places to get tacos in Kansas City. They have a wide variety of options but I always get the lengua. Their chips and queso is perfect and I love that they’re open late. They have a condiment bar where you can dress up your tacos exactly how you like them. Highly recommend.”
“Stopped by casually on a brisk Saturday afternoon, i wasn’t starving but I could eat, I had a cold Turkey sandwich and French fries, it was yummy, the food came out fast and the employees were very friendly. They also play nice music. A hidden ? the ribs are good as well.”
“Solid spot in KC for sure. Bar staff very chill and inviting and extremely knowledgable on the entire menu. Keith, the owner took great care to share his passion and drive in the craft brewing industry and love for life though the brew process. I could feel his energy and bravo all around for having full body, flavorful and inquisitivly unique brew selections. Will for sure keep coming back and enjoying these beautiful humans and their mark in this world through fun cuisine and delicious drafts. Keep rocking cool vibes!”
“Food was actually amazing, I went in to use the restroom and got the ol "customer's only" snub. And was undecided about dinner anyway, so I responded that "I'll buy something".. I really hope just to wash my hands at least. Anyways I came out and went full on payback Time while l approached the Young lady at the register and I started asking questions about everything and how much of I add this or that and can I get it this way and how much extra ? Is the soda in the cans the same Price as the other drinks etc etc. I waited until they were done putting up with me and good and frustrated and then I ordered One of just about everything on the menu just to be a D__k, and prove a point that you shouldn't act like that to anyone especially a potential customer. Then I assured them I was in no hurry and please do your thing and take your time please, and I will stand right here and watch, you work for me now... ?... Then I insisted to buy One of the beautiful Flowers (Orange roses) The had out on display. Maria, I believe...the owner, hesitated and shrugged and I offered to name the price for me how much for more than one...etc, I was just having the time of My life I think I even asked her if she wanted to go out sometime if she wasn't married of course ?? I grabbed a couple of her business cards for her other side business on my way out and winked that it was okay I think I got your number here anyway, even another customer standing by was laughing hysterically at this point as I waved goodbye to everyone and exceedingly expressed My thanks and gratefulness for the wonderful experience, the food, the clean restroom and the beautiful flowers that my girlfriend's are going to Love ? hahaha ????I'm pretty sure they never gonna forget about me ?.. adios ????? mi casa su casa Gracias amigos....asta manyana. ?Pretty much Jaws on The floor as I walked out the door and rang their happy bell ?DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!?I'M A RIOT... ENJOY READING THIS...TRUE STORY.”

KC Cajun
“I enjoyed some cajun chicken and shrimp pasta at the championship parade!! It was delicious, I felt it was a good portion of both meats, flavourful and saucey. It was worth my money and the customer service was wonderful. I would definitely, have this again!! Thank you for the exceptional meal and customer service.”

Clay & Fire
“Owner mills around chitchatting with guest like family while you're served incredible fire baked bread and fresh delicious sides. As a former baker, their bread and pizza is some of the best I've had in the KC area. Lovely, unique experience and will be a monthly outing from now on.”
“You Say Tomato has some fire breakfast casserole let me just say that... Get it with the mushroom and sausage gravy and you won't be disappointed. I need to go back and get their gazpacho. Its a cold tomato soup with veggies in it... its one of my favorites. Its a unique place to go have breakfast or lunch at and the menu is unique just like the place. I'll be back to grab some Gazpacho...”

Anthony's
“Had the pasta marinara. Best I've had anywhere. Not sweet, but slightly spicy--just the right amount. The broccoli as an appetizer was equally amazing. Spumoni with rum sauce was quite good, as well. Price is a bit steep, but the food quality was exceptional.Vegetarian options: The pasta marinara is amazing. Fresh and bright with a bit of kick.”

Mac N' Co.
“it was sooo good! I ordered the "buff baby Mac n cheese" I believe it was called. It had buffalo sauce on it and two huge chicken tenders. the Mac n cheese itself has a great texture and the sauce was amazing and Oh my goodness the chicken tenders ? they were so crunchy. I really recommend this place if you like Mac n cheese and they're menu is small so there's not much contemplating, it's all quick and easy!”
“I love the unique variety of tacos here and you can mix a two different tacos to your order! They have GF options too. The vibes were awesome I’d for sure go back for it all.”

“Really cool joint at the Martini corner. Had a burger and sweet potato fries and was really impressed. Very generous serving and the burger was amazing. Staff was friendly, always kept our drinks filled. Will be back soon!”
“I was really fortunate to get a small table for 1 on a Saturday morning (larger parties had a long wait). Highly recommend making a reservation. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the carrot cake pancakes, which were excellent - lots of flavor without being too sweet.”
“My husband and I had the pleasure of being a guest at Mercury Room. I absolutely loved everything about it, including how it smelled. Would you kindly let me know what incense or what type of fragrance is used? I remember going up the elevator and walking through the hallway leading to the room and absolutely loved the scent, and everything thereafter. It was a great experience, the atmosphere, the champagne, the decoration, the service, and not to mention again the scent the room had.”

“The food, beer, and atmosphere never disappoint! Anais did an excellent job serving us today. I went with the lobster rolls for lunch, a new menu item. They were fantastic! Will be back soon for sure.”
“Hands down one of the best African restaurants I’ve been to in the U.S!!! Do not hesitate to get food from here as it will be well worth the trip and price.I am normally very picky with food especially West African due to the authenticity but decided to try this restaurant because of the reviews while I was in Kansas City. Ordered the palava sauce and okra stew and had to drive back 2 hours the next week just to get food from here, which just shows you how delicious the food was.The owner is very friendly and accommodating as I even had to ask for a special order (inorder to eat it throughout the week) and the price was very reasonable!”
“Nice place - good experience. Had a billing concern. Used the chat function to inquire and the general manager reached out to me in less than 5 minutes and resolved my concern. Very impressed with Steven and his customer service. I will be back for sure! Thank you!”

“This place may look like a whole in the wall but don't be fooled, the food is amazing and is hot and fresh every-time. The employees are friendly and work hard! The inside does have dine-in and is always clean and welcoming.”
“Super friendly and even offered to cut my 4yo son's pizza into small squares so he could eat it easier. Great price and great food. Would definitely recommend.”
“I have been going here since I was a kid. This is my favorite restaurant. My grandparents knew the original owners and the new owners kept it the same and the quality has not changed. And also I love that they are closed on Sunday, the way it should be on the Lord's day. Keep up the good work! And last Wednesday I came through the drive thru around 7:00 pm, and I'm not sure if he was a manager or not, but he went above on customer service!”
“To me the best pizza in Kansas City for years! Great staff ! That Tuesday sandwich special is wonderful and great fries , Philly cheese on a great bun! But the best is the Prime Cut Pizza , Original Crust Bacon on top!!! Wow it's the best Pizza in KC ! That's for real!”
“Wow. What an experience. Went to Saturday drag brunch and these queens were incredible. The food was good, the unlimited drinks were even better. The cup it came in was so cute. Had a blast and will be back.”

The chicken sandwich I ordered was good - moist and flavorful. The fries were a delight, with a perfect balance of crispiness and seasoning that added an extra layer of satisfaction to the meal. I opted to dine on the patio which was really nice. It provided a relaxed setting, making the meal even more enjoyable. The staff went the extra mile in providing menu suggestions, showcasing a genuine interest in ensuring a positive dining experience for us. This personal touch added a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to the visit. One practical aspect that often goes unnoticed but greatly contributes to a positive experience is parking, and Green Room excels in that department. With plenty of parking available, it eliminates the stress of finding a spot and allows patrons to focus on enjoying their meal. If you're in the mood for burgers or chicken sandwiches, this place is a solid choice. The good food, comfortable patio seating, friendly staff, and easy parking make it a worthwhile spot for a satisfying, reasonably cheap, and hassle-free dining experience.”
“Just needed a quick lunch so got the burger and fries. Good lord the burger was massive, and juicy, and hot, and very tasty. Very, very good! Will be back to try other foods there.”
“I’ve been wanting to try this donut shop for close to 10 years and now I’m kicking myself for not doing so much earlier! I got the German chocolate, strawberry crunch, and a regular glazed the other day and everything was soooo yummy. Will definitely be coming back.”
“I absolutely love this restaurant!! I have one more Barrio to go, in KCMO, then I will have been to them all. Out of the three I have been to? I can’t say I have one favorite. I now have three favorites out of three if that’s possible. I chose the deep fried avocado tacos? I was in heaven!! The waitress was amazing, kept our lemonade glasses full, food was delivered hot and delicious. Their very own home made tortilla chips, are the very best. I enjoyed every bite! If you want a laid back atmosphere, great food and the best of the best, servers, chefs and wait staff, you will find it all here!!”
“We stopped in because we saw so many other good reviews. You have two options for ordering. Order at the counter, or scan the QR code and order directly from your table (love that option).We tried two different burgers, the Blueberry Stout burger and the Prohibition Burger. We loved them both but the Prohibition burger edged out the Blueberry stout in our opinion. This burger is messy, but delicious. Covered in swiss cheese, thick cut bacon, arugula, avocado and bourbon carnalized onions.We also loved the fries. You have your choice of dipping sauces. We got honey mustard and drunken ketchup. Both were good. You also have a good choice of local beers and spirits to choose from.I might just vote these as the best burgers in KC. Not a cheap option, but the quality makes it worth it.”
“Your morning team blows my mind, they are always friendly, service is always 10 out of 10, and the food is always hot. I drive from Antioch Rd in Gladstone and skip that location to come to this one. They are a great team and I hope they know how much I appreciate them!”
“The manager was very friendly and accommodating and my Buffalo chicken sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. My wife’s salad was also really good. Definitely a great place to eat and watch a game”
“The brisket is some of the best I've ever had. So tender you don't need a knife to cut it. Smoke ring was spot on and the flavor was perfect. Just the perfect blend of smokiness! I'll definitely be back when I visit KC again!”
“The food, beer, and atmosphere never disappoint! Anais did an excellent job serving us today. I went with the lobster rolls for lunch, a new menu item. They were fantastic! Will be back soon for sure.”

Great placeKid-friendliness: They brought a high chair and had smaller menu opens for my 16 month old son.”

“Everything was great as usual! Our app came shortly before our meal but both were still tasty. Our waiter was very attentive and never left us with an empty glass. I would recommend to make a reservation online. I did feel as if they were closing on us but it was probably only 8:30 when we got our check and they didn't close till 11.”
“Service is perfectly short and to the point -as most places this popular are. This place hasn’t updated a thing in years- and it’s perfect! Everything you get will be messy, sloppy and fantastic. A great homage to a time where all that mattered were the folks at your table, the laughs you had and great homemade bbq!”
“Excellent old school Steakhouse, where the basement with live music is a time capsul, in a good way. My 3 trips to the Majestic have all been delightful, but this last visit was highlighted by a very talented trio ( piano, drums and bass. The bass player would make Bootsy and Stanley proud!) that made for a very memorable dinner. Food and service is great but the music is lagniappe. Cheers.”
“Buca is my family go to restaurant! The food is great.Kid-friendliness: Sean was great, friendly and our experience was amazing because of his great personality.Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator access and plenty room.”
“Best service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Our waiter not only explained everything and answered questions extremely well but kept us from spending money we didn’t need to spend by checking before delivering something we had pre-ordered earlier in the evening. They graciously kept the restaurant open late so we could finish our meal at our pace - never felt rushed but did feel bad. Our waiter assured us he was happy to stay late. Fantastic all-around experience.”
“Best experience I've had! Valet parking was amazing. Upon arrival staff all greeted us with a small. Our waiter was amazing and very professional. Food was amazing. The table set up was simple but meant so much to us for my husband special day. I will be back and look forward spreading the word.”
“Super cute place. My only complaint is the small portion of food for a high price. 2 pieces of sharing was $6... Yeah... That is a bit excessive. But that is to be expected in places like this.But, th drinks and atmosphere are fabulous. Will definitely return for a great date night. ❤️”

The staff has always been friendly and polite.Parking: The side street is under construction but plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Standard ADA compliance for McDonald’s”
“Fantastic barbecue! Easy to get to. Fast, friendly service. If you are picking friends up from the airport that want some great KC BBQ this is the place! If you aren't, it is definitely worth the drive. This isn't a chain, it's Scott (with a great crew). He is a competition BBQ enthusiast gone pro! We had Burnt End Tacos that were huge, two would have been plenty but I couldn't resist finishing the third. My son had a Buffalo Chicken Burrito, also tasty and filling. They were busy with lunch but the service was super fast and friendly. If you like great BBQ, this is the place! They also had some pastrami that we picked up to go for supper, fantastic as well, maybe some red pepper in there, nice twist on pastrami.”
