“We ordered some French fries so deli
And some steaks everything that you order on steak really good
The cheescake I really not recommended but the strawberry cake is really good 10/10”
“Phenomenal service. This place is very popular and has stellar service. Patrons wait for an hour very easy with no problem. The food and service is worth the cost and wait.”

“I always have a wonderful time here! The food is amazing and the servers are really polite!”
“Today I ordered 1/2 lb of catfish strips, small fish and shrimp combo, potato salad and two peach cobbler’s. It was very good! The wait time is a bit long but next time I will call my order in. I’ve been disappointed several times ordering peach from other restaurants when out of town… but this cobbler is pretty good. Staff was friendly and my order was correct and on point!”

“This was an important dinner, my son who is 26, had surgery(had his tonsils removed) a couple days ago, and The recovery is described as one of the worst, and it feels like shards of glass in your throat.he has to eat soft food and he had Choices all over the Kansas City metro area. He chose Joe’s, Joe’s mac & cheese to be exact! We live on the Missouri side (Gladstone). So I decided to stop by this evening, and not only get a quart of mac & cheese for him, I grabbed dinner for myself (z-man w/ fries, ribs w/ red beans and rice, Mac and cheese) which I was reluctant to do, due to me having to drive 35 minutes home and I was worried that it was going to be Soggy and cold, Well, much to my surprise, the food was packed perfectly, my food was still hot, and my fries were still crispy! Thank you Joe’s in Leawood you did amazing! I will probably be back in the next couple of days to purchase more Joes mac & cheese! BTW this son of mine recommends Joes to everyone!! He loves all locations! Thank you again!! Sarah Jones (One happy Momma)”

“Usually great food, and we est here often. However, last week we were 100% dissatisfied! First, the entire meal was late, they had to substitute knots for garlic bread, waited forever and the calzone had literally one piece of meat about 1"x1.5" and what looked like a mozzarella stick for cheese. The meal was gross, late, over cooked and not what we ordered or paid for. So disappointed. Since it is a long drive we regularly make I doubt we will be returning. $34 meal wasted.”
“Loved this place. This restaurant randomly popped up on my Google recommendations, and I do not regret giving it a try. The hamburger tasted homemade. The waffle fries and fried pickles were fresh and crisp. I had a great time driving around and seeing the lake. Stopping to eat and watching the geese. Maybe not everyone needs to know about this place, because the charm might be ruined.”
“We drove from south KC and it was great! Can’t wait for the truck to come down so we can have it again soon!”
“The food was good and our server was responsive for the most part although my husband had to seek out the server for a drink refill. This was a delayed holiday meal with our adult children so we felt the server respected our celebration and allowed us to take our time ordering. The one thing that was a bit off putting was the smell inside the restaurant. The first table we were taken too had a really bad odor-think dirty socks. We asked to be moved and were taken to another area closer to the entrance about 25 feet away from the first table. The smell was still somewhat present but tolerable.”

“Good food, they give you a TON of rice but not enough shrimp
Fast forward to today (1/1/2026): I ordered my usual, Shrimp fried rice. I got home, and counted EIGHT DAMN SHRIMP in my order!! But enough rice to feed a small family. And to top it off, the shrimp were not cooked enough and I had to cook them some more. If this is not resolved by giving me a free meal, or at least at a discount off another meal I’ll never eat there again.
*in response to your response: me and my mother have eaten at your restaurant numerous times and there have been way more than 8 shrimp in previous orders. Maybe all the chefs should stick to the same amounts of shrimp & time they cook them so no one has to complain when they notice the difference. No worries, I just will not return as a customer.”
“Our food was served promptly, hot and delicious. My husband had Steak Gargonzola Alfredo and I had Shrimp Alfredo, which I was very pleased they were able to substitute peppers for asparagus at my request. Raylee, our waitress tonight, was absolutely amazing, always smiling, very pleasant, open and friendly, and extremely attentive. She checked on us multiple times throughout our dinner. Raylee has superb customer service skills and this girl deserves a bonus! We left her with a hefty tip...worth every cent for someone who brightens your evening! 😊”
“This place had great staff, service, food and fresh tasting margaritas and salsa. The tamales are the highlight—the masa is light and fluffy, not heavy or dry like most places, and they’re stuffed with meat that actually has flavor. The salsas are the real kicker; mild was great and the hot has a kick but so fresh you’ll keep dipping even when your mouth is watering. To top it off, the margaritas actually taste like tequila and fresh lime, not that sugary bottled mix. They’re strong, simple, and hit the spot perfectly.”
“WOW*!*!* This place is awesome. I'm not a fan of the cheese on the baleada, but that's just by pallet. You get your money's worth for sure. Every time my wife, una catracha, and I are anywhere close to KC we have to eat here. Would love to have spaghetti Honduran style!!”

“I went there this past weekend and the food was excellent. Of course I think it had a lot to do with how amazing our server Logan was! She was one of a kind and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced service as well as hers. Definitely consider changing it to Famous Logan’s!”
“Estuvo buena la comida como siempre! Y nuestra mesera Mayori nos brinda un servicio excelente como siempre!”

“The quality and price of the food are GREAT, but the best part is the people working here. Kindness goes a long way, and these folks are genuinely concerned. If you're not an employee, then you are probably not here for the best reasons. Everyone tries to make your day better. We've been here for 10 days, and not once have we had a bad experience in the Cafe. Thank you for making this difficult time just a little easier.”
“It is a little store but you can expect the same service and smile from the people there. Very friendly and everyone was greeting customer's making them feel at home. There was no rush to hurry up and order. So take your time with the menu, enjoy the atmosphere of a friendly McDonalds and spend time with the family oriented just by yourself.”
“I just want to say the ladies that work in the afternoons made getting the Grinchmas meal so fun and exciting. Their demeanors made the whole experience so great! They were excited and smiling. I was greeted with such enthusiasm made me want to give a shot out🎄❣️ MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!”
“Omnivorium food truck was at the Smithville Farmers and Makers Market on Wednesday. I ordered 2 salads and they were amazing. I will definitely buy from them again. Also, very friendly.”

“This place was phenomenal! The food first of all was excellent fresh and made from fresh ingredients! The service was beyond great. They have taught these young people how to respond properly to the public. It's a great place to catch a bite to eat have a cup of coffee and meet up with friends ! You are also promoting the skills of culinary arts for foster kids who age out of the system ! I give this place five stars”
“Took a lady on a first date and chose this because we were walking the area. The food was great and we drew our server as Javad was super attentive, even while training. The only downside was the level of music while trying to talk across the table. I’m sure if I’d have though to bring it up to our server, he would have handled that for us as well.”
“If you’re in Kansas City, Kansas and haven’t tried Gary Wilson’s Pizzeria, you’re missing out 🔥🍕 From the moment you walk in, you can tell this spot is built on passion and pride. The atmosphere is welcoming, laid-back, and full of that authentic neighborhood pizza shop vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The pizza? Top tier. 🍕✨ Perfectly baked crust with that golden crisp on the outside and soft, chewy center. The sauce is rich and flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and everything tastes fresh. You can tell quality matters here. Every bite hits. Customer service is just as solid as the food. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of your support — which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a go-to pizza spot in KCK that delivers on flavor, consistency, and hometown energy, Gary Wilson’s Pizzeria is it. 10/10 recommend. 🙌🏽🔥”
“We adore our neighbors at Sway! We grab a coffee here nearly every day and brew our own with their beans when they are closed. They are a brilliant addition to the neighborhood, the smell of beans roasting in an inviting place to grab a beverage and a McLain’s bakery treat.”
“Towing the owners car turned out to be the biggest blessing in disguise. The food is incredible, and Saul was a tremendous guy working the counter. I don’t have enough good things to say about this place and the people who operate it. If you’re a fan of good elote, this is the place to hit. 5 stars everytime.”
“Found Avenues through a Groupon. We bought the Shrimp Boil, Filet and Shrimp Scampi, Antipasto platter, and two cannolis. The meal portions were huge, our order could have easily fed 4 people. The shrimp boil was spicy, with a lot of shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and a whole ear of corn. The filet was flavorful, and the shrimp scampi was served similar to Alfredo, it tasted so good! The antipasto platter has lots of yummy bites, I really enjoyed the salami and artichoke hearts. The cannolis were great too! They also included a little bag of decorated mini cookies, with a ribbon and Go Royals! tag. I'm sure it was part of one of the entrees we ordered, but an unexpected but delightful little bread pudding was in our ca bag as well. Food was great, portions were large, and the staff at curbside was very nice. I do wish GPS hadn't left us about halfa block away though.”
“Wonderful experience for Veterans Day even though we had to wait since arrived at peak time of 7pm and they had run out the steak & cheesecake offered on the special menu. The coconut shrimp was amazing & best ever had anywhere including Hawaii! Food is always delicious with reasonable prices at this Outback that provides extra friendly speedy service!”
“Came for dinner recently and had to come lunch as it was so delicious. Excellent service and great decor! Lunch was more than what I expected to receive in the Midwest. Big fried oysters and fried shrimp. Cooked to perfection. And the fries are the best. I hope to bring family here ! As good as I hVe had on the coast!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Great place to go hang out with a variety of friendly people. Good drinks, good service, owners always does amazing events from bike night, food trucks, bands, parties, benefit runs, toy drives, holiday dinners, sip and paint nights, chiefs watch parties, taco Tuesdays, Karaoke nights, pool nights, thirsty Thursday, always celebrates holidays, and so so much more. These are just a few to name off. The owners goes above and beyond to keep customers entertained and welcomes everyone in to join all the fun. People are friendly and welcoming. For some this is like a second home. The owners and bartenders definitely care about their customers. Great place to check out if you have never been.”
“Very friendly service, I felt appreciated. My first impression walking in was “Wow, low lighting!” Hate overhead lighting and sterile decor. The decor choices are very entertaining. This place is surprising and compelling. Food was good, had a pork tenderloin and fries (that’s how I judge a diner). They had my NA beer! I’ll be back with my girlfriends.”
“The lady taking orders was standoffish, I only knew a few words of Spanish. That seemed to annoy her. The cook corrected her attitude and knew exactly what I wanted.. she eased up a little bit.. (with that being said) customers spending money at any establishments that don't speak English or Spanish.. should always be made to feel comfortable and welcome to support any business.. simple math. Welcoming business + happy customer = $$$ thriving business. P.S. remind your staff to be friendly. The chicken was flavorful,fresh, and hot .would recommend.”
“Stopped in today after the retirement announcement. It never gets old showing someone thats never had y'alls tenderloin and their eyes go wide. Ive never had a bad experience in line, restaurant go-ers are always nice... Congrats again on retirement ❤️ - Carrieann, Shawnee”
“drinks as well as food very yummy ,My favorite is the double burger Sliders.”

“Great burgers, large portions of fries. Staff is usually kind, with the exception of one of the managers. Large woman, tall, brown hair, brown eyes. Don't remember her name. She was rude and just shoved my bag of food at me, said "here". Haven't seen her in there last few times I went. Hope they got rid of her. Really wanting some of those fries now!”
“Excellent food, friendly service (and fast), generous portions (always need a to-go box), nice homey atmosphere, always clean. My neighbor and I go there often as it's only about a mile from where we live. One of our favorite places in all of KC, and handier than any other.”
“We were not impressed. My partner had a steak which he liked. It was good, not great. I had the seabass… it was just ok. I loved the decor and atmosphere which is why I'm giving this a 4 stars instead of 3 stars. We also enjoyed the bread and crackers… quite tasty.
We tried it …. There are better places to go for the price point. If I'm spending over $100 pp I want to be WOW'd”
“Fun environment. Great service, wonderful BBQ. Party of six all different orders - everything very tasty! Near interstate 70 so convenient for locals and travelers.”
“Our party of 7 went tonight to celebrate the youngest kiddo turning 19. We were promptly greeted upon walking in and the hostess was very polite. Our server greeted us and handed us menus as we sat down. He was full of smiles and very polite. He had his hands full as we kept asking questions and ordering drinks and appetizers. He did it all with courtesy and again, lots of smiles. Our cook was incredible. He didn't like talking much but he always had a smile on his face and told our daughter Happy Birthday. They came out with a drum and sang to her and everyone clapped and wished her a Happy Birthday. What an incredible experience!! We will def be back! OH!!! Several sushi rolls were ordered as well and ALL of the food was delicious. 0 complaints!! Thank you all for making our daughter's birthday dinner a hit!!!!”
“We have been coming to this location every couple of years for the past 15 years or so. After reading the recent reviews I was a little apprehensive, but I really don't know what everyone is complaining about. We found the grounds and indoor areas to be clean, the check in was flawless, the life guards were on point, the water park was operational and the bathrooms were clean. My daughter had her glasses fall out of her bag and we checked back at closing time and they had them. (thanks to those who turned them in). The rooms were clean, we enjoyed mini golf and the activities in the lobby. The food and drinks may be over priced but so is any ball park or concert you go to. We avoided the buffet and got donuts from the coffee shop. The beds could be a bit firmer, but it was only for 2 nights and the kids had a ball. We adults relaxed and enjoyed it also.”

“We ate at the Barry Road location on Jan 16, 2025. Everything was fantastic! We were immediately greeted by our waiter with chips and salsa. He took our drink order and the exceptional service just kept getting better. Drinks and chips were always full. My husband ordered the burrito and taco special and I had the Quesaburrias. Oh my word were they good! I typically order the quesaburrias if they are offered at other restaurants and these were by far the best I've had. The consomme' was exceptionally seasoned which of course made the beef very tasty. My husband was pleased with his meal as well. This is the 2nd time I've eaten here and each time has been exceptional. I'll be back.”

“Ate their for my first time about 4 months ago. Amazing tacos with quick service at a great price. I have been back about 10 times since my first experience. I am american so I expected the tacos to have cheese and lettuce but the cilantro and onions are more then enough. The sauce is hot and I wish I could make it myself. If the al pastor tacos weren't so good I would try something else but haven't tried anything else since my first experience!!”

“Exceptional restaurant, very authentic - beautiful, fresh, delicious food. Blew away our expectations. The patio was great, inside was clean just did not seem as comfortable. Great selection on the menu - and a very large menu at that. Horchata was awesome, so were the octopus tacos.”
