“5 stars with a caveat. Food incredible. Wait staff very good. Almost every employee smiled as they walked by. Reservations at 4. Promptly ordered drinks and a seafood tower. In 30 mins more drinks and another dozen oysters. 20 mins another round of drinks and crab cakes. Now it's 5:15. Hostess trys to take our menu. We were about ready to decide on dinner. She said she needed the menu as table was reserved for others at 6 and we'd better hurry. It totally threw us off. Not like we were just chit chatting. Sort of a strange way to say thanks for spending $300 with us. I guess the 2 hour rule is a midtown thing as I saw it at next place we tried to eat dinner at in Brookside. Besides the rude hostess, it is a midtown KC gem. Guess us farm folks with stay out South next time.“
“Grunauer isn’t a place I’d go all the time, but I love going when I’m craving something “that feels like a home cooked meal”. The food is different than most places around KC. It’s all very filling, but so good. The staff do a great job of explaining and recommending dishes on the menu. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Be sure to check the daily specials before choosing what day to go!Parking: There’s a parking lot in the back shared with Lydia’s that is free if you save your receipt from the meal.“
“How isn’t this place 5 stars?! WOW. My date and I had an amazing experience from the atmosphere, the food, and our incredible waitress Danielle. She was such a treat and very knowledgeable of all the products. I will definitely be coming back!“
“My husband and I have been to Swordfish Tom’s at least half a dozen times in the past couple of years and it’s always been a top-notch experience. Sure, sometimes you have to wait outside for availability, but it’s worth the wait and I personally think it adds to the “speak-easy” vibes. Drinks are phenomenal and they always seem to have a wide variety of cocktail options. Even if you don’t see something on the list that sparks your interest, the bartenders has always been so friendly and willing to spin up pretty much anything your heart desires! We love it for a date night!“
“Very cool room hidden off the alley. Had an Italian Beef (Jim's Beef) and had low expectations. Being from Chicago I was a bit snobby about anyone else outside of the Windy City doing an IB right. My apologies. Great sandwich. The bread was perfect. Tender, juicy meat. Giardiniera nice and spicy. My only gripe would be the lack of fries as a side. I had the jalepeno slaw and it was good, but fries are the natural side to a lovely beef. Will be back.“
“I stumbled across this place on Facebook and had no idea what it was. They were hosting a nickelodeon themed party with trivia, coloring, and themed drinks!I was nervous at first because we were sharing tables but I got to meet some of the coolest people there and had a blast!! They even hyped me up for winning 4th place in the coloring contest haha.If you love board games, meeting new people, and looking for adult fun without all the craziness of downtown this is a great place to go! I think they host dungeons and dragons here as well and I would love to learn how to start.The food is tasty, but it could be better. But it's not a restaurant, it's a gamers paradise!“
“Up-Down quickly became a KC classic. Everyone will find a game they enjoy and every game is only 25 cents (via tokens bought at the bar). The bar is expansive and the rooftop patio is a great place to enjoy the city views. If you're hungry you can grab a slice of pizza inside.“
“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.“
“I had the duck and a sake flight. It was delicious and the flight was super interesting. My husband had the salmon. The menu is more set up for sharing, but the 2 dishes we had were full servings. It's also farm table seating. Meaning long tables they sit multiple parties at.Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was stunning.Highly recommend reservations.We got the brownie dessert, this wasn't my favorite and really expensive for $15. The video is of the creme Brule (not the brownie)“
“Not sure what the theme for this restaurant was, but I had the impossible burger, and I was deeply impressed. I have been a beef eater, all my life. This burger was amazing. Would recommend trying it if you were curious. The staff was amazing, I can't remember the waitress name now, it was one of those 'like this city name but without the last letter's people. She did amazing.“
“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.“
“This place is pretty cool. It’s tucked away but easy to find. We came for some drinks and appetizers and got the wings, which were just okay… last time I visited I got a pizza and it was delicious!! There was live music and the service was good.“
“It was AMAZING. It was my first time and i loved how Kevin took a few minutes to explain everything to us and show us how to properly mix the dishes and use chopsticks and everything . Peter was FANTASTIC he told us he was the cook in the back but came up to help out and 10/10 service. I will definitely be back in a forever customer now. Best experience of my life and it was just so much fun.“
“Tried this place for the first time on a Friday at 7:30 and we were seated immediately with no reservation. The space was small, but very cool and good vibes. Drinks were good and the servers/bartenders know what they are talking about. I'll have to try food next time I'm there“
“The atmosphere is great, the food was amazing, and cocktails were delicious! We ordered four dishes to share between two of us which was filling (they recommend 4 to 5). The food did take longer than expected to come out, but their customer service is unmatched!Dietary restrictions: They ask when you sit down if you have any dietary restrictions. They then mark the menu with which dishes to avoid.“
“We LOVE Milwaukee Deli to the point where we knew we had to have it as a late night snack at our wedding! We worked out a catering order with Jon who was so great at assisting us and making sure what we ordered showed up at our venue at the requested time! We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and just got the glorious news from our venue coordinator that the pizza had arrived! Our guests DEVOURED this pizza. Thanks again to Jon and Milwaukee Deli for helping to make our special day even better!“
“Anytime I have people visiting from out of town, and they want to have a nice meal that isn't BBQ I take them here. The food, service and ambiance are always fantastic. Their menu is so different than anything around here and sitting in the dining room feels like sitting in a French restaurant.They have a rotating chef's special, a great deal on their steak frites on Tuesdays, delicious French desserts (home made profiteroles, say WHAT?! yum. And don't even get me started on their mille feuille when that is around... absolutely fabulous).The wine selection is great, they have a non alc option that seemed interesting but I decided to go with their non alc cocktail which was delicious. Cocktail menu is solid, and they even carry my favorite beer, Duvel which is such a European staple and not always easy to find in the city.“
“Ludo's Shuffleboard bar is such a great addition to Martini Corner. After a friend date night at Noka, we went here to check it out for the first time. I love the fun, colorful branding that continues to the menu itself. The cocktails are as creative as they are delicious. They offer great wines and beers too - something for everyone. I've also been to Ludo's for a work happy hour where they rented out the whole bar. It's such a great size for happy hour "takeovers" and the staff was super friendly, helpful, flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend a night out at Ludo's or even renting it out for your next event!“
“Pic is of the lobster tacos and skillet queso. They were both amazing. We also had the Korean tacos and street which were delicious as well. Skillet queso was too spicy for the kiddos but perfect for me. Finishing touch was the amazing KC Taco margaritas. Definitely coming back.“
“Really fun and laid back spot. Apparently the owner is my second cousin once removed (I think) so my dad was excited to go here when visiting from AR. It was a beautiful day and I love that on such days they’re open to the outdoors. That plus some great early 2000s pop punk classics really made for a great atmosphere. I asked for their most popular drink which was their blueberry specialty cocktail. It was delicious!“
“This is our third visit to this restaurant I thought they deserved some props. Food was tasty, portions were large and prices were very good. There was four of us and each person ordered a full plate lunch and drinks. Our check was around $90.00. Now some might freak at that but we all took home boxes with enough food for a second lunch. Our server was very helpful and attentive to everyone at our table. All of highly recommend Southside Bar & Grill for lunch. I'm sure it would be great for dinner too!“
“We visited Blade & Timber for the first time (None of us had ever thrown an ax before) to celebrate our daughter's 17th birthday. The service was excellent. Food was great. But our coach Winston went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having the best experience possible! We can't wait for our next visit!!“
“I hadn't been to a Stroud's since the one in South KC on 85th St slid into the creek. The food was still amazing the cinnamon rolls still rock and the chicken fried steak is still amazing. The service was pretty standard, good not above and beyond. Which is fine. The view out the window to the pond is amazing but they shove in too many tables. Overall, excellent. Exactly as I remembered.“
“Overall a great place; this has become mine and my wife's local spot.Twice monthly pool tournaments; an assortment of areas to play checks, chess, or dice; local beers; and fantastic cocktails.One of the best old fashioned I've had in a while (if you're a fan of Rye, if not, make sure to mention it).Have spent several long nights here shooting pool and enjoying good company.Parking: Street parking directly next to the bar, but its a gamble if there will be any available. You may have to drive further down and take a short walk.“
“Elise at Toms Town was amazing. She gave a great tour and the tasting with her was so fun. She has us addicted to the double oak Bourbon!If you do not drink bourbon, you can still enjoy the tour. Loved looking around and enjoyed the video of all the history that this distillery has. The food was an added bonus!“
“Kyle owns this great KC gem. It’s a clean and friendly atmosphere in the heart of KC. Beer, whiskey, wine, no cocktails. Kyle is a beer lover but won’t steer you wrong with you spirit selections! I had a great time Chatting with him and trying Penelope and Barrel Craft bourbons!“
“Best small(er) venue in Kansas city in years - in content and atmosphere. It's only improving upon itself as well. I love the location as well - utilizing a part of this city that is underserved. Definitely one of the gems of kansas city at the moment.Vegetarian options: there is no food that i am aware of... maybe snacks / dessert / coffeeDietary restrictions: Coffee and booze - I didn't see any food - maybe some food trucks will catch on and park by it.Parking: street parking is easily found as there isn't much going on besides Farewell and Howdy in the neighborhood.Kid-friendliness: You can bring under 21 people as long as they have a parent or "guardian" with them who is of age. The sister venue / art space a few doors down "Howdy" is all-ages all the time. They have water available to all.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs of any sort and easily accessible for handicapped individuals.“
“Food was great, really good cheeseburger and half fries and half onion rings. Next time may get fries and then order a full order of onion rings. Food came hot from the grill, service was quick and friendly. First timer there. Will definitely be back again!!! Great little Irish bar with personality!!!“
“Our waitress, Leah was phenomenal. Best service I have had here in KC in several years.Parking: Garage on State line, just behind Jazz. Scan the QR cide at your spot. Sign up on the sight. After your meal at Jazz, scan the QR code at the restaurant, and poof! Your parking is free and paid for (3 hours max).“
“First time here, good cold beer and laid back atmosphere. Bartender was quick and polite. Seems like a great place to stop and knock the dust outta your throat. Western style throughout the place . Definitely worth a visit, will be back !!!“
“The service is absolutely outstanding. if you can, order some tots! the staff was super friendly and great with recommendations from the moment we went in the door. coming in was an impulsive decision and now we will be there every time we visit the barber across the street“
“First off the bartenders here are amazing. They are always attentive and great to chat with. For a casual bar they have some exceptional pizza. Also I am personally very happy with a bar that has Coors Banquet Beer as I am not that hard to please on the beer selection side of life.“
“Vegetarian options: Veggie Burger & SaladsKid-friendliness: Kids menu available (10 & under) with plenty of options, dessert included (bring your own pen/crayon/marker to play the games)Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no steps to enter. Some seating is not wheelchair friendly (booths that have a step up) buy there are plenty of regular tables. Seating is very close together, so keep that in mind.“
“The Flying Horse Taproom is a neighborhood treasure. I came in regularly before they remodeled and revamped, and I liked it then. Now, I love it! First off, the service and the staff are excellent. Friendly, welcoming and efficient. . The flatbreads are my go to (the classic!) and they are the best. But, with the new menu, I've tried the chicken sandwich and the butter burger, both delicious. The Blue Grotto salad is very good as well. And, during happy hour you cannot beat the prices. I'm not a big beer drinker but I see people coming here all the time to taste the many beers on tap. When the weather is fair, the outside area is a wonderful place to enjoy with friends, and your pup. 5 stars all around for this gem!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Lots of families here during the day time“
“The sushi was very fresh tasted amazing I ordered a total of 3 rolls. The mango cha cha roll, the royals dragon roll and the baked salmon roll! It was amazing!! I also ordered the crab Rangoon and the chicken gyoza.i initially ordered the miso soup it was not for me but everything else was exceptional. I was seated with chopsticks but no utensils for my daughters as well as no straw. I also did have to search for a different server because mine was so busy. But other than the service the food was definitely up to par.“
“You come here after you have had dinner to get some GREAT choices for all kinds of draft. They pour the new Boulevard strawberry wheat that was smooth and so good. Lots of gathering space and cool industrial atmosphere. You can’t get food here, but any type of craft beer is here. Sea Dog on draft is here as well—awesome! This is where you want to meet up with all your friends to laugh and tell stories as you enjoy a drink or two or three.“
“Ate here for the first time last night, And it did not disappoint!!! Awesome idea for a date night- good vibes, friendly service and delicious drinks! If I had caught our bartenders’ name last night, I would certainly recommend getting a drink from him!! Hit the spot!“
“I had a blast going to Hamburger Mary’s for the first time last night! The energy was electric and they hosted Ru Paul Season 16’s Q and Xuanmi Muse, which were outstanding performances. Can’t wait to come back for another show soon! :)“
“Incredible place to dine or drink at. Ambience is next-level. They have different themes at different points throughout the year, it's worth going to each one. The food is incredible, the drinks are where the character of the place shines as they are catered to the theme. My wife and I try to make it as often as we can and have always had amazing service and an awesome experience every time. I hesitate to write such a good recommendation because reservations are sometimes hard to get but we really love the Conductor Club and it's a great excuse to visit Union Station and see a unique part of it as well.“
“This place is, like the late great Rick Patterson said, KC's Cheers bar! All the staff is friendly & helpful & attentive. The variety of food my party of 7 ordered was tasty. Cozy atmosphere, yet still room to dance in front of a sizable stage. I've seen musicians in groups of 8 down to solo. Plenty of on street parking. Nice place to be for visiting and enjoying the music scene.“
“Really fun, staff was very nice and helpful towards my kids. Also made a mistake on my purchase on their website and they refunded me the difference without me even asking. Bar service was fast and professional.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, we were there at happy hour and our kids were the only young folks there but the staff gave them plenty of attention, they had kiddie cocktails on the menu, etc“
“Concur, this is a friendly, even historic, watering hole in one of the original grand downtown hotels of KCMO. And thank goodness they didn't mess with the original woodwork and theme of the place. The neon sign outside is precious and should never be allowed to be messed with! Whether you're here to watch (or catch) a game or just hanging out with some pals for a nightcap, hard to beat this small venue away from the huge crowds some places downtown are seeking. I can keep coming back here just fine.“
“First time attending a show here. Came to see Dead on a Sunday. It is a very small venue. Intimate is the correct term. The place is great for small up and coming acts. With two bars to keep attendees happy. Will definitely come here again.“
“My husband and I, and some dear friends, thoroughly enjoyed the 10 course meal with wine pairings, in the Tasting Room. It was the most amazing experience!! The food and cocktail/wine pairings were glorious and the experience was perfect! We will be back! Thank you for such an wonderful evening!“
“I had the fried chicken sandwich. I have Celiac Disease and haven't had a fried chicken sandwich in about 10 years. It was amazing! I love that the whole menu can be made gluten free. Service was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!“
“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.“
“Slick little spot. Has a great vibe. The onion rings were pretty bad, tasted like a slightly cooked onion inside a mini cake donut, but I doubt people come here for the food. The Band was INCREDIBLE. They have pretty attentive staff as there was vomit on the stairs but it was cleaned up pretty quick.“
“Lew's staff is awesome! Sheady always has her head on a swivel, no such thing as an empty glass. Katie is another example of attention to detail... The list goes on. I have never had a bad experience with my time spent at Lew's. Fish and Chris have done an exceptional job hiring quality!“
“Tonight was my son’s first time and he enjoyed the delicious food, friendly service and good music. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to eat seafood and hire the awesome band to entertain any of your family functions. I’ll be back soon“
“THE BEST BARBECUE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!! Knuckle Heads brought in a guy (Brent) who runs Diamond W Barbecue and served hands down the best food I’ve ever tasted! Top notch barbecue at a great price and amazing friendly service!!! ??????“
