We went in for lunch after ours sons graduation from Central College. We have eaten at LSK before and have had several experiences. The food was not up to par, but being graduation weekend, not that big of a deal. It was good, just not what we were used to. However, our server, Amber, was one of the rudest servers I have experienced in some time. She was very short with us in an almost scolding tone of voice when we tried to tell her that we had two different copies of the menu, one being lunch and one being dinner. After she took our order, we only saw again to drop of the last plate of our six-top and to drop off the check. We finally had to ask an already slammed host for drink refills. We will definitely be requesting a different server if we are placed in Amber's section if we return.

My family drove all the way from St. Louis to celebrate a college graduation, and I chose Liberty Street Kitchen based on the strong Yelp reviews and menu options. Unfortunately, our experience was a huge disappointment from start to finish.
We arrived as walk-ins and were told there would be a 30-minute wait. That was no issue—we waited patiently and were eventually seated. However, once we ordered, the wait for our food was incredibly long, and when it finally came out, nothing was hot or fresh.
The worst part? My brother ordered a filet mignon cooked medium, and it came out completely well-done. The server acknowledged the issue, removed it from the bill, and brought a replacement. But the second attempt wasn’t any better—it was cooked medium-well and it wasn’t even a filet. It was a roast. Completely different cut, flavor, and texture.
After such a long wait and with such poor food quality, it felt like our special occasion was brushed off. I expected a much better experience based on the reviews, but sadly, I won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

We were there for two nights in a roll. The food and staff were amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Mike the restaurant manager even took the time to greet us at both our visits.

Mikey and staff are always great and the food is always spot on. Great establishment.
The food was amazing. The country fried steak was not even on the same level of any one I’ve ever had!! My husband had the featured special of Cedar Plank Arctic Char. We We sat at the bar and had a fantastic experience with the Bartender Jordan!! We will absolutely rave about our experience to all. Thanks Jordan for a fantastic time!
Our child goes to Central and we try different restaurants every time we come for a visit. I love the location of this place and the pictures looked really good. But the food was sub-par, especially for the cost. We probably won't go again. But I heard others say they like it. It's got indoor and outdoor seating.

Good management and very good food that is not out of a box, unlike much of the other fare found in restaurants in Pella. Note to bartenders: a Bloody Mary should be about 10 parts tomato juice to 1 part pickle juice, not the other way around. Nothing ruins the experience like drinking vodka spiked pickle juice blessed bay a tomato. I know if the management reads this they will get the bartenders back on track. Otherwise this is the only place to eat in Pella where you can count on great food.

We had a fabulous time and meal! We had the shrimp cocktail and the portobello fries for an appetizer. Both were sooooo good. I had the short rib grilled cheese and my hubby had the lobster pasta! Jake, our server, was on point and super nice! Next time we're in Pella we will definitely be back!!
