“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”
“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.”

“The big biscuit is wonderful. Food was excellent. very clean. staff was exceptional. our waiter was Chandler. he was the most polite, friendly and efficient person we could ever ask for. thank you for the good food and great service. cant wait for our next visit.”
“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.”
“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻”
“My husband and I wanted a date night but couldn't decide on seafood or steak. We were both happy with the menu and drink selection here. He had the steak and lobster and I tried the blak lentil bolognese with strawberry spinach salad. So good with Chianti and he had Cliquot champagne. Elijah, our server, was very attentive and took very good care of us! Great night!”

“Loved the amazing atmosphere at Nour’s! It sits at that perfect intersection of high-end fancy and accessible - without even a whisper of pretentiousness. The space is inviting and feels very luxurious but isn’t off putting at all. It’s worth a look around to see the art and decor.
Loved the food! We tried the muhammara and the samke harra (baked branzino). Everything was delicious and well seasoned.
Service was somewhat slow, but we didn’t mind. Will happily return for more delicious Lebanese food!”

“Really fun atmosphere, great service and great food. The Al Pastor tacos were my favorite blending unique flavors of sweet fruits with small pieces spicy jalapeno peppers. A real treat for the taste buds. We went on a Tuesday night which was Taco Tuesday. They had $3 tacos (you can pick from four options) and discounts in drinks. I tried the Al Pastor, Cheeseburger Taco, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Chicken Tinga. All four were very good.”

“Lauren was such a fantastic server! She was very attentive, kind, and asked the kitchen on several occasions about modifications for dietary restrictions. The Lychee cocktail was delicious! Really enjoyed the entrees and sashimi dishes we ordered. Would recommend the banana/marshmallow desert. Amazing!”
“Loved how they incorporated members of the audience who had no clue what was going on.”

“We dined in. First off, there were friends of the employees in the restaurant, not eating, but preventing the employees from assisting customers. After standing there for several minutes we were finally asked if we had been helped. Our order was taken and these visitors were staring at us because apparently we interrupted there visiting. The food was good, but the customer service needs work.”
“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.”
“what's not to love??? great atmosphere, amazing food and central location! you MUST check it out:)”
“Terravox is one of a kind! Our tasting and tour was personal, educational and fun! Highly recommended winery if you are in the KCMO area and even if you aren’t!”

“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! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖”
“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”
“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”
“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.”
“A friend lives here, he recommended this place to me. Being from Texas, and reading reviews of this restaurant, I had to try it for myself and see how it compares back home. Rodrigo served us and was super sweet.
So far, the homemade sweet tea reminds me of Texas, so we're off to a great start!
Our appetizer came by, which we ordered the jumbo mushrooms with horseradish sauce. Very presentable with micro greens on the top, crispy and flavorful. Even the horseradish sauce added an extra layer of kick and flavor, and not too overpowering.
I ordered the Kansas City Combo with Beef Brisket, Smoked Sausage, fries and potato salad. My friend ordered the BlackBerry Salmon with fries.
The salmon was very flavorful, had a nice char on the bottom, and the sauce was smokey. The Kansas City Combo looked very presentable, slices of sausage and brisket arrayed like a charcuterie board. The sausage was smokey and had a lot of different flavors going on, however the brisket is a different story. The BBQ sauce adds flavor to the brisket, but without it, it can be tough to chew. This is my first time having sausage sliced this way, whereas I'm used to sausage LINKS. The potato salad was very good, along with the fries. Had a lot of flavor and didn't need ketchup
Overall, this was a very good experience, and if it ever in the area again, and am missing my hometown, I will come back.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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!”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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.”

Fine Dining
“Thank you for making my birthday special. On June 1st, 2026 I sat at the bar with my son for my birthday dinner. I had surgery 2 weeks prior and had a strict diet…ugh! The two bartenders worked with us to ensure I had the best meal and birthday dessert! Thank you Eddie V’s for a wonderful dinner. Your employees are jewels 💎 ❤️ SAV”
“Unbelievable experience from start to finish! We came for Valentine’s Day and it was immaculate. I’ve never had an experience like this where I felt like I was at a private event with the chef and crew.
That said…it’s pricey! This isn’t a show up on a whim place, but if you love exploring all types of sushi (including stuff you can’t find anywhere else in the city) then you have to put this on your list!”
“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! 🥰”
“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!”
“Beautiful music and perfect ambiance! Will definitely come again.”
“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!”
Cheap Eats
“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.”
“This was my go-to spot every single week when I lived in Kansas City five years ago. Since then, I’ve lived in Georgia, California, and Washington, and I currently reside in Seattle—yet this place remains the #1 Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to. I am so jealous of the people who live nearby. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing, from the minute you site down you get the beast tasting, fresh baked bread. I had the Cauliflower appetizer to start . And then the crab cake. Finished with best creme brulie.
The menu changes everyday so. I had what you may not get to have.
Highly recommend.”
“Eating here has made my life complete. I left as a different person. The sun shined brighter and although I was so full, I felt light at the same time. The food was so. SO. SO! amazing. Words can not describe how good the food is. The lighting was perfect, the atmosphere was cozy, and the workers were incredibly kind. The food was so fresh, so hot, and so amazing. I have confidence in my heart that the food's recipe is someone great grandmother's, because it was crafted so perfectly and with so much love that it healed my soul. The crab lagoon was crunchy and cheesy in all the right ways. 10/10. The rice was perfectly shaped and perfectly tasting even before I added more flavor to it. 100/10. The orange chicken was so crunchy, so flavorful, so hit, and so fresh, I genuinely don't think I've ever had anything like it and nothing can replicate it. 1000/10. If you ever. EVER. In Kansas City, YOU HAVE TO GO! Doesn't matter how far, the drive will be worth it. Hell, even if you're not in Missouri, you've got to taste this. Even if you're across the world and have to take a boat or plane, you must taste this food. ♾️/10”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lots to like about this place. It’s a beautiful space with great service and drinks, and easy parking. Highly recommend — especially when they have live music, which is often. Adrian Bartholomew is our favorite!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.”
“Went to Cliff’s last night while in KC for a volleyball tournament for our granddaughter. She has celiac disease.
They were accommodating with a broad GF menu and ALL of the food was fantastic!
Best wings I’ve had in years, the corn chowder soup was amazing, the pasta and sandwiches were all wonderful!
We can’t wait to come back!
Thank you!!😊”
“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.”
“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”
“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!”
“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We did the distillery tour followed by the Mad Hatter speakeasy pop up. The tour was quite enjoyable and our guide Tony was awesome! There was a great selection of cocktails at the Mad Hatter and we enjoyed them all. Would recommend both the tour and the speakeasy.”
“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.”
“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞”
“We came here for a nightcap after dinner and loved it. It's super cozy, with comfy chairs, a beautiful chandelier hangs above the bar, excellent service and really good drinks. The interior is French-inspired and beautiful. Definitely recommend.”
“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.”
“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!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at akoya Omakase, and it was one of those rare restaurant experiences that reminds you how special thoughtful hospitality and craftsmanship can be.
From the moment the meal began, it was clear that every dish was created with intention. The level of detail and care that goes into each course is remarkable—every bite felt deliberate, balanced, and beautifully composed. You can truly see and taste the thoughtfulness behind the menu, from the way ingredients are paired to the precision in preparation and presentation.
What stood out most to me was how much pride the team takes in their work. The experience feels personal rather than transactional, and that level of care is something you don’t encounter everywhere.
Akoya Omakase isn’t just serving sushi; they’re creating an experience built on respect for ingredients, technique, and guests. It’s the kind of place where passion is obvious in every course.
I’m incredibly excited to see what the future holds for them. If the dedication and creativity I experienced are any indication, I have no doubt they’ll continue to grow and thrive. Restaurants like this deserve success, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“An amazing place! Delicious food and fun drinks. Think tapas- you order a bunch and share each. They course them out to you. A bit cramped if youre sitting in the tables for two, youre pretty close to the tables next to you. But its so yummy its worth it!”
“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last”
“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.”
“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!”
“Truly incredible meal. We went for a special occasion and had two amazing filets. Cannot recommend the Filet Pierpont enough. The Zinfandel soaked figs….chefs kiss. The cocktails as well- any of the old fashioned drinks, can’t go wrong. Don’t miss out on the corn and crab bisque either. An experience! We also had a very accommodating waiter, Zach, who made the the whole night memorable. We hope to visit again when we’re back in town. Thank you!!!”
“Full bar, cheap prices, solid pizza, two stories of classic games, good music, rooftop bar immaculate vibe and, no tummy issues.
I want my ashes scattered across the ninja turtles pinball machine when I die.”
“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.”
“Our service was fantastic. Kaylen, the manager, and our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a special evening. We had friends visiting from out of town and wanted to show them a great time, and they absolutely delivered.
Kaylen took the time to make sure everything was right. We had a dish that just wasn't to our taste, and he immediately took care of us without hesitation. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and it was refreshing to experience a team that genuinely cares about their guests.
We will definitely be back. Thank you, Jack Stack, for reminding us that exceptional hospitality still exists!”
“I'm unsure why this place doesn't come up more frequently in conversations about Italian food in KC, but it certainly should. When I tell you that the steak spiedini (chef special, not always on the menu) *changed my life*..... WOW - I've thought about it several times a week since my visit. We had fabulous service and they were very accommodating to a couple of dietary needs of our table. Tiramisu was divine. A perfect spot for a date night or just great food anytime.”
“This is one of my favorites in KC. Food is impeccable, the staff is sociable and friendly. I sat at the bar or was my birthday. The people sitting close to me were awesome we had a blast!”
“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 ordered this to go while visiting Kansas City, and my husband—who went in to order and pick it up—raved about how kind the owner was. When he brought the food back to the car, the kids and I couldn’t help opening it right away. The smell was absolutely heavenly!
She warned him that the egusi might be spicy and asked if that was okay. He said yes, because we can usually handle some heat… but we were not prepared for that level of spice 😂. That said, the flavor was incredible.
We also ordered the peanut butter soup, and my children and I still talk about it to this day. I genuinely recommend this restaurant to anyone who will listen—we’ve already planned a trip back to Kansas City specifically to order it again (and visit a few museums, too).
I can’t wait to try more items, in addition to reordering everything we’ve already had. To say this food was life-changing would honestly be an understatement. It may sound dramatic… but it’s the truth.”
“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”
“Everyone at this establishment is amazing and so incredibly helpful.”
“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Incredible place in KC River market. Make it a go to every time you are downtown”
“FABULOUS ALL THE TIME. Food drinks people are ALL AMAZING. If you know you KNOW if you don’t know you just have to EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.”
“Really appreciate the weekend floating hours. It's a treat to have somewhere to grab a nice cup of tea, listen to good music, and not be surrounded by laptops!”
“By far my favorite little lounge in KC. It’s just a short 5 minute walk from my apartment so the convenience is there. I love the retro aesthetic mixed with modern design, and when there’s a DJ it adds even more to the experience. My drinks are always great and the customer service is attentive and friendly. The little burger truck outside, Disco Burger, is sic a fun and amazing addition on those tipsy nights you’re craving a good burger. My friends and I LOVE Varisty Club, and our favorite bartender is Caleb. He’s always so nice and efficient with us. Such a vibe. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Great food, better staff, good prices and AWESOME food!! Drinks are really unique too!!”
“Unbelievable experience from start to finish! We came for Valentine’s Day and it was immaculate. I’ve never had an experience like this where I felt like I was at a private event with the chef and crew.
That said…it’s pricey! This isn’t a show up on a whim place, but if you love exploring all types of sushi (including stuff you can’t find anywhere else in the city) then you have to put this on your list!”
“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!!”
“First time trying African food and it was amazing!!! Definitely a must try! We ordered 3 different types of egusi soup and fufu (beef, vegan, okra) fried red snapper fish, wings, and jollof rice. The food was well seasoned, flavorful, the customer service was attentive, nice, and quick. Would come back here again to try more items on menu.”
“The Sunday brunch was so satisfying, it is also at a reasonable price. Even though I don't drink the bottomless mimosas are great they have different flavors. My wife ordered a raspberry one and she let me taste it. The fresh baked cookies were delicious.”
“Came here for my birthday, friendliest service. We were able to get seated before our reservation time. We ordered a little bit of everything and the dessert they brought me for my birthday was amazing.”
“Been awhile since been back to BB'S. Used to be a monthly must stop back in tge day for the Blues a Q. Lindsay Shannon was the best!!New ownership and patio renovations wanted to go back to check it out. 3 headed out for lunch on a Thursday.

“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”

“We went for Valentines Day, my husband and I have been before and we loved the experience! Everything tasted amazing and our waitress and other staff were very helpful and friendly! A man came and answered my questions about wine recommendations and that was insightful! Thank you for the great experience!”
“Really fun atmosphere, great service and great food. The Al Pastor tacos were my favorite blending unique flavors of sweet fruits with small pieces spicy jalapeno peppers. A real treat for the taste buds. We went on a Tuesday night which was Taco Tuesday. They had $3 tacos (you can pick from four options) and discounts in drinks. I tried the Al Pastor, Cheeseburger Taco, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Chicken Tinga. All four were very good.”
“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.”
“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 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 stopped into Waterbird Coffee in downtown KC and ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte, and it was absolutely delicious, especially on a cold day. The balance of sweetness and warm spice was spot on, and the espresso flavor still came through nicely in every sip. The cafe itself has a warm, inviting vibe that makes it an ideal spot to thaw out and relax for a bit. 5/5 and highly recommend making a stop here for a comforting cup of coffee—get the brown sugar cinnamon latte if you need something cozy and satisfying.”
“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 ;-)”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at akoya Omakase, and it was one of those rare restaurant experiences that reminds you how special thoughtful hospitality and craftsmanship can be.
From the moment the meal began, it was clear that every dish was created with intention. The level of detail and care that goes into each course is remarkable—every bite felt deliberate, balanced, and beautifully composed. You can truly see and taste the thoughtfulness behind the menu, from the way ingredients are paired to the precision in preparation and presentation.
What stood out most to me was how much pride the team takes in their work. The experience feels personal rather than transactional, and that level of care is something you don’t encounter everywhere.
Akoya Omakase isn’t just serving sushi; they’re creating an experience built on respect for ingredients, technique, and guests. It’s the kind of place where passion is obvious in every course.
I’m incredibly excited to see what the future holds for them. If the dedication and creativity I experienced are any indication, I have no doubt they’ll continue to grow and thrive. Restaurants like this deserve success, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.”
“Love the chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and garlic naan”
