“Haven't tried everything on their menu but everything I've tried has been good. Staff are friendly and courteous. Place is clean, well maintained and is more spacious than I expected. Other than specials, drink prices aren't cheap but they aren't unreasonable, either. The beers I've tried so far have all been fresh and flavorful. Best Reuben sandwich I've had anywhere with thick, generous serving of corned beef and served on really good, marbled bread.”

“Really like Geneos but the last 2 times we have went the pizza was lacking!! Both times we ordered and paid for extra sauce and cheese to try and get it the way it used to be and it still came out the same way, very dry and hardly any cheese.”

“We went to Country Cookie based on a recommendation of a customer at the nail place we were at. We are from Iowa, never heard of the place before today. The cookies were great. They were having an event that had face painting, tattoos, spin the wheel for a prize and pick a sucker for a prize, plus deals on cookies. We were burning time while the boys went to the Chiefs Training camp. The girls had fun and the staff was so kind and fun. One of them won a deco kit and she had a blast decorating when she got home. It is not allowing us to post pics of the fun we had. Thanks for the experience, we will visit when we come back that way. Everyone should go get ya some cookies from these wonderful people! Sincerely, the Iowa girls :)”

“Great location, amazing brunch and a perfect location for a surprise 65th birthday party”

“So, stopped by this little joint on a recommendation from a friend. And was not disappointed. An order of 24 wings for $28. Some might say that's too expensive. Ogre says "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YA GET WHAT YA PAY FOR" and man did I. So they start with a dry rub, then smoked, then brushed on sauce of choice. I chose zombie and garlic pom. Came with a side of homemade chips (which didn't make it 4 blocks). Oh, and might I add, ya get more meat on these "wings" than ya get on some of the fast food legs. DEFINITELY OGRE APPROVED! And theu had some whiskey selection, but couldn't sample since I was still in the work buggy.”

“Great atmosphere, great customer service & great drinks! We love this little bar! We are from Nebraska and love stopping here on our trips to KC!”

“Some of my friends from work and I decided to get together and do something so we all decided to go to Simple Simon’s because it was Close to my work , We chose to sit outside because it was nice out We ordered pizza and hot wings the lady was so patient and nice while we decided what to order ! The food came surprisingly fast and everything was hot and delicious!! We ordered 2 pitchers of beer that was cold and frothy ! The atmosphere was nice . I highly recommend Simple Simon’s on Lake Ave in St. Joseph , Mo. for everyone !!!”

“Best pizza in town hands down! Fresh ingredients are used. Owners and staff take pride in their food! Don’t hesitate to try !”

“I hadn't got pizza from here and years but I ordered online and picked it up and it was wonderful.

Dietary restrictions: I was glad they had a keto option.”

“v nice🥰 burgers are crumbly!”

“We came here for the first time and the service was good as well as the food. We’d probably stop by here again in the future. Didn’t get to explore the outside deck, looked cool!”

“I love tomos. The service is great and even with a long wait time(as they are the best and of course people are always coming), their food is worth every second spent waiting.”

“That’s my bar of choice good people”

“good music and nice people”

“I was excited to check out the new location. The exterior and interior remodels were very impressive and reminded me of Bourbon Street. Service was a little bit slow, but it was a bit busy Saturday night. The food was perfection. The lighting was very harsh and felt like a classroom so that could be improved upon the previous location had better lighting and more ambience.”

“I love love love their frozen yogurt! The choices are amazing and so many toppings! It's so good I love it so much! Prices are a bit over the top, for just me and my husband it was like $35 so just be mindful of that when you go! Otherwise was very good!”

“Food was fresh and great. Service was very slow but I honestly think its due to a shortage to people not wanting to work, thats why i still gave them a good rating. The workers they had were worming their butts off providing greating customer service and good food.”

“Food was great, and in front of of me before I was done fixin my coffee”

“My first time eating here today. I had the prime rib sandwich and it was delicious, also had onion rings. And tried the cheese curds from my daughter's basket. Everything was so very good”

“large variety of flavors and Ingredients. also dry stock snack with a shelf life available such as milk chocolate covered almonds, yogurt covered pretzels, trail mixes , protein bars, and grass fed beef snacks along with so.e made with or from turkey ect. the place has always been very clean so far also. Using the app is very convent and a way to build reward points and can help save on future orders if you frequent smoothie king. The staff has also been very helpful and kind so far.”

“Louis was an amazing server we came in with 14 people did not call ahead and we still got out with an hour. He rocked keeping a positive attitude and had us out within an hour, even with single checks for everyone.”

“great bar to be at great owners and the best bartenders”

“Had a very pleasant experience today. Just me and my two littles, the gentleman was sweet enough to bring our food to the table so I didn’t have to step away from my littles. The manager also gave my oldest some cookies. Very thoughtful and sweet. Made me feel good about being out alone with the kiddos! Will be returning!”

“They always have my order ready quick and it's always good. The Detroit style is my fav for the crispy edges and great chew of the crust! Atmosphere is carry out only and really busy, but that's what I expect.”

“Solomon's Porch has such a peaceful and soothing atmosphere and the coffee is sublime. Very friendly staff!”

“The ONLY reason I would recommend them is because the cake was phenomenal. However, their customer service sucks. Got a wedding cake from them that showed up 2 hours early, then they proceeded to argue with my wife about the agreed upon delivery time. They take forever to respond to messages. My wife delivered the cake decorations and they didn't even remember that the decorations were delivered. I won't use them again, despite the cake being great.”

“I was given the run around by 2 separate CVS’s today when trying to get pink eye drops for my son. Finally had to have them send the script to Hy-Vee who had the medication in stock. After 2 hours, Hy-Vee still hadn’t received the script. Shane in the pharmacy took my info and called the cvs’s to find the script so I could get the eye drops in my kiddo before the pharmacy closed!! Great customer service.”

“It had been months since I had been to this Subway. The last time I was here was back in April. What really annoyed me is that Subway wouldn't accept $100.00 to use. It is money. What would they do as long a person came in with an order for 40 to 45 people from one person than what.!?

The day that I came in that I didn't have nothing pulled out. I was in the mood for Subway. The subs that I had that day was good.”

“always lots of fun. more people need to check this place out”

“Super nice staff, very helpful! I had to place a large order for my co-workers. I called at 11:45, they told me it would be ready at 12:30. I arrived and everything was ready, everyone was kind and didn’t make me feel like I was an inconvenience at all. A young man even helped me carry it to my car 😊”

“We had a great time tonight at the Fireside bar and grill inside the Saint Joseph Frontier Casino. I believe I counted 34 flat screen TVs showing every sport possible. MK the bartender was super polite and friendly. The Saturday tenderloin special for $4.99 was really good! Will definitely be back!”

“The nachos deluxe is amazing 🤩”

“The weekend brunch is delicious! Especially the chilaquiles.”

“They did a great job meeting our unique wide spectrum needs...did custom pizza's, gluten free crusts, fast delivery, tastes great, AND they were VERY happy to help! Call, or order online...you will be happy with what you get! -b”

“Matt working in the deli had amazing customer service and was very punctual and helped us find the best deals on our meals! Will return for his service alone! Glad to see someone taking pride in their work especially in the South End of Saint Joseph! Good job, Matt!”

“Great place to get together with friends”

“great food choices I like the point system because you can earn free things or free items”

“The staff is simply the best. Definitely, quality is mvp!”

“Louis was an amazing server we came in with 14 people did not call ahead and we still got out with an hour. He rocked keeping a positive attitude and had us out within an hour, even with single checks for everyone.”

“Great food, great value…and the portion size is very nice!”

“Good food and friendly service. We dined in so I noticed the floor had a greasy feel to it. Maybe a bit more detergent when cleaning.”

“I personally don't have any Caribou locations near me ,but when travel I'm certain to seek one out ! Reason being is they've always been fast, efficient , very pleasant people and great quality coffee! This time I had the Turtle Mocha. Yum!”

“awesome pizza. friendly staff”

“We stopped by for lunch, my dad and I. The blonde girl there at first wasn’t very talkative or friendly.. She was talking to someone negatively about her coworker that had just left so we were kinda iffy on the atmosphere. But we got our food and it was delicious! My dad was surprised by how good the wraps were and said he would definitely come back for them, and the PB crunch always is the best!! What really made our trip was the Second Lady we ordered from when grabbing my momma some food. She was sweet, personable, and very friendly. She brought the food out to us whereas the other lady had us come up to separate times to grab everything. We’ll be back for sure, and whatever the blonde girl lacked, the next girl really compensated for! 🙂”

“I'm looking for a petite brunette that was sitting at the back table on the left of the store with a laptop. she was in a white blue skirt or dress. I'd like to thank her for the letter she gave me. it was about 6pm 07/06/2019.”

“Delicious!!! My wife and I didn't feel like cooking tonight so we went there for a light dinner.. they have salads now! Any sandwich you want they can make into a salad.. so I got the Italian salad.. with all the fixins. It was so good. The staff was nice and friendly and the place was very clean.”

“they always have good food and service with a smile”

“Super Friendly Employees. Pizza was Hot, Fresh, and the new one we tried was Really Good! We live a block away, and are regulars. Always a great experience!”

“I tried the bourbon, black pepper steakhouse chicken. it was great”

“It is getting harder and harder to find a restaurant that serves beef burgers and Fords has a good one. I don’t know of any other restaurants serving beef burgers on every day of the week! I like beef burgers on a hot dog style bun with either fries or onion rings. Ford’ has it. Great food reasonable priced. Highly recommended!”

“Wheelchair accessibility: Tylessa was server and she was wonderful, young energetic nice girl! I'd hope she'll get some type of recognition as customer service now days, is lacking. Not her!”

“Madi did an excellent job! Our order was prepared quickly and she took extra care to make sure my gluten free order didn’t come in contact with any contaminated surfaces.”

“The harvest chicken walnut salad is the best salad I’ve ever had at a fast food restaurant. Ranked from 1-10, it gets a 10”

“this place handled a weekend lunch rush, hordes of pickup orders, and a catering order from a university volleyball team all while obviously being short people amazingly well. special kudos to the teen boy delivering food in the dining room. he did a great job and maintained his cool despite the verbal abuse from an older woman sitting next to us.”

“We’ve had 3 parties at San Jose’ and we had the best experiences. Wait staff was very accommodating and professional and the service was great.”

“they always have good food and service with a smile”

“I always look forward to going to Pizza Ranch, I went today, and my experience was less than favorable. my fork was sticky, there were hardly any potatoes, I was scrapping trying to get gravy. There was hardly any pizza out. Normally when I go in the girl up front, Sophie, goes out of her way to help me. she asks of there's anything I need. The only helpful employee today was the boy picking up my dishes. I hope my next experience is better.”

“I have been to Chili's Grill & Bar (St. Joseph, MO) several times. The food was excellent and the server was awesome. My server and former student, Ember Simerly is kind, helpful and my favorite server. She treats you well.”
