38 Best American Restaurants in Kansas City

“Will most diffenly be back for more. People are so polite and friendly. Pricing is“

“We were greeted by Lara. It was a pleasant experience. Order came quickly. It is child-friendly.“

“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.“

“Best wings in KC. Everything is made fresh to order. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing comfort food“

“We said goodbye to Dewy 15-Year-old lab mix. They made him a wonderful Pup Cup. He enjoyed every bite. @Culver's (Kansas City, KS ) Thank you for making his last night special.“

“The new onion petals are delish. They cook the nice and crispy. We had the pot roast bowl and it never disappoints. Service was great. Prices are getting a little much but for the most part it was worth it.“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“My sister and I had lunch here yesterday and loved it!!! Pretzels were really good for an appetizer and then the Chicken Pot Pie was SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I love a down home meal like that and it didn’t disappoint!!! I’ll be back just for that!!! Our waiter Miles was a really nice guy and was very attentive to the customers. Thank You, Granite City!!! 😁😁“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“Please learn to secure your fountain drink lids . I eat here 2 times per week and have spilled 2 out of 12.
Thank you. Your food is good for the price
Your tenderloin sandwich and Philly cheese steak are not
listed . Both are good“

“The Korean Cheesesteak Sandwich was awesome, a combination of two of my favs in one sandwich full of flavor. Salad was good, but needed more dressing. The beer selection was great, many seasonal beers you won't find elsewhere on tap. Restaurant outside seating was empty, but indoors was full. Bartenders were attentive, restaurant was clean.“

“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.“

“Ransford (our server) was the best! The parmesan crusted chicken is definitely worth the hype. I also ordered a dragon fruit margarita. Our server asked me if I wanted a single or double (I wasn't sure but double is more) and that's exactly what I was seeing 🤣🤣🤣“

“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.“

“Dotte Spot is our "go to" for consistent, amazing food and wonderful, personable service. Best chicken cobb salad and patty melts we have ever had. 😋“

“Great place for us. we have been going to John's since they opened and they only had one little room it's wonderful to see how it's grown love it I don't go out all the time however when I do that's the place to be. the music suits my soul.“

“Fantastic food, Fantastic service. Will definitely be back.“

“Had a great experience!!!“

“Stopped while driving thru KC and do not regret our decision. Food was delicious!“

“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!“

“it was not the great experience I thought it would be, but for anyone on. a budget this palace serves enough per plate to feed an army. I am at KUMed, so taste buds are way off but everything seemed so salty. they also had no recall of my soda which I ordered online because it red soda. when my son came back with diet whatever I almost flipped him over. Maybe that's the swelling of the brain???🤔🤔🤔 regardless, my favorite husband has had a black and blue burger several times and he loves them. I get the feeling it's a dine- in kind of place.“

“Love the beef deluxe!! Such good smoke flavor. Fries are great also!!“

“Food was delicious & drink’s amazing“

“Love this place. I can ALWAYS trust that my order is all in the bag!! State Avenue. Hard working people. They ALL deserve a raise!!!“

“Normally I wouldn't be so quick to give an IHOP 5 stars, but the last time we were in the service was excellent. The people seemed happy to work there and we noticed the servers talking to each other about hoping more customers came in.“

“Great Music...good food...great staff...highly recommend“

“good chow friendly staff putting g up with crazy Nebraska people“

“New ownership has done it right!!! Quaint, delightful dinner. Food done right! Eggs & hash browns cooked perfectly… that’s hard to do! Excellent service!“

“drinks as well as food very yummy ,My favorite is the double burger Sliders.“

“Great food which was delicious and plenty.“

“We came back for the first time since trying it a year ago, and it was 100x better! Our server was amazing and the food was excellent. The hype is definitely there! We agreed this will be one of our new go-to spots. Highly recommend the surf and turf!“

“Wouldn't think a casino restaurant would have a good smashburger, but it was really good. The only thing I would change is grilling the bun. Haven't tried anything else, but I am definitely willing to try other items considering the quality of the burger. Staff was friendly. Especially MJ. What a delight she is!“

“Restaurant sits in the upstairs portion of the casino overlooking the Kansas Speedway. Nice open space with plenty of TV's above the bar, as well as individual TV's in the booths. Ordered the Texas Nachos, Philly Cheesesteak with a side of onion rings, and a side salad. The salad was pretty standard. The nachos were very good. Chili had good flavor. Philly cheesesteak was also good. Overall, pretty good food items. Especially for casino food. There are also sports betting kiosks sitting at the entry of the restaurant if you want to gamble on the games they have televised haha.“

“Very good food and friendly service.“

“Food was great! Got to try the honey chipotle chicken strips with fries AND Mac n cheese!!“

“I was in village west Hooters when I was confronted by what apeered to be a manger never said the waitress's had told him I was taking picture's of them I did not know it was there policy of no picture's but the manger called me out in front of other customer's I thought that was disrespectful to me and that was wrong I will never step foot in there ever again“

“Went there today after a long day at KU Med. Staff were absolutely amazing! Beyond friendly and helpful especially being from our if town and not know much about KC. Food came quick and was just as awesome as their customer service. If you want a good meal and a bunch of friendly smiling faces this is the place to go! Managers were awesome as well! Nicest ihop I have ever been to hands down! We will be at KU for a while and we will forsure have to make another visit!“

“very kind and accommodating. had a great birthday party experience here today.“
