“Recent visit 2/1/2024Walked in around 3:40pm. Ordered a double cheese burger and onion ring. The prices are affordable, and the burger is filling. The onion rings could've been cooked longer. I recommend asking for extra crispy. Local joint worth visiting.2019Food is always freshly made and tastes so good.“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant spelled out authentic Mexican food without overdoing it. Service was quick to sit us down to offer a menu and drinks. What was unique is that they do not give chips and salsa as all other Mexican joints do. They offer chicharon pinwheels with hot sauce which I think made it better and brought my Hispanic childhood back with memory of the heladero (ice cream man). I ordered empanadas that I had never tried with chicken meat, my daughter chose sopes with Al Pastor meat. My wife got tacos with Al Pastor meat too. They both liked their dishes and mine was yummy with both the green sauce and red sauce. I will go back to try other dishes.“

“Just wanted to hop on here and recommend Palacana. My husband really wanted carne asada fries for dinner, I showed them the picture and asked if they could make it. They whipped it up and I was on my way. They were absolutely delicious!!! We used to get these frequently in Colorado and haven’t seen them in Kansas; they were amazing and I hope they will be added to the menu in the future.Also the smoothies here are AMAZING; the food is great and the service is fast!“

“Everything was great delivery, the taquitos, juice and ice cream. I didn't even get the exact juice I ordered but I didn't care because it was so good. The ice cream was amazing and the tamarindo I requested on it added a tangy taste so it's not too sweet. Price is not bad either.“

“The ice cream is amazing and we weren't expecting much quality from the food as it's an ice cream place but the tacos were better than even some taco places nearby. Only thing is the meat was in bigger pieces than I would like but overall they were amazing! The salsas are also spicy and very flavorful. The staff is also very friendly!“

Russell Stover Chocolates Ice Cream • $$
1300 Village West Pkwy, Kansas City

“We had visited Nebraska Furniture Mart, then ate dinner at Famous Dave's. Which is right next to Russell Stove. Myself I was looking for their jelly beans. That must be a product of my past. My eyes spotted the Jelly Belly bulk, and right next to that, clearance.! I got a beautiful bag of jelly bellies and filled my arms with clearance candy. Then I saw it!!! Ice cream. I grabbed a l Carmel apple, and a bowl of Krazy Kookie ice cream. I mean what am ZI supposed to do, not get ice cream? The store had a weird set of packed chair and tables. I grabbed a random chair and made my mom wait for me to eat ice cream.4 stars! The chairs and tables were all stacked up in a part of the store. No lids for ice cream cups.“

Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream Shop • $$
1865 Village West Pkwy, Kansas City

“I walked into Cold Stone this day in hopes of a delectable and indulgent cold treat however I was given that and a twilight zone like out of body experience. It was as if M Night Shyamalan had written and produced a movie where a couple walk into a shop and are the only ones there with 3 people behind the counter yet felt like they were invisible. We had stood at the order giving place a mere 3 feet from a worker who had obviously been instructed to not acknowledge our existence in some sort of practical joke. They were scooping around the ice cream and putting the scoop down aimlessly for maybe 2 minutes as we thought she must’ve been making a Uber eats order but nope just scoop, drop scoop, repeat. I at first was curious to see how long this would last but then I had to ask “so uhhh watch a doing?” Girlfriend holding back giggles at this point as shockingly I was ignored. I keep going “so are yah playing with it? I would too if I worked here I guess” then we were told “nope just getting out some of the bad stuff” we were relieved that we were in fact not invisible then our minds went back to the ice cream. So after the awkward silence after that back and forth we then go for it “so uhhh can we order now” then the normal process of ordering food at a food place began then silence fell over the shop. Two of the workers began conversation “which seemed like normal human behavior” so we were more relieved then payed for our treats and left.An older woman was going for the door as we were leaving so I held the door for her then she looked at it decided not to go in and also didn’t acknowledge us.Well done Cold Stine hiring a director, writer, and actors for this hilarious prank.P.S. Ice cream was fire.“

“I think we visit here a minimum of once a day. They do have quite a few times that their app goes down. But that's not their fault at the store. The only issue I ever have is when I order extra real fruit, I RARELY get it, and sometimes I don't get any. The service is always fast, friendly & and accurate. EXCEPT the extra fruit in the drink. But considering that we order enough for 5 people, I think a mistake is fine. It just seems to happen quite often and be the same mistake. I'm sure they're understand“

“Advertised as homemade ice cream I love this place, I’ve been going here for years on occasion and I can’t seem to taste anything other than my first choice I ever tasted on my first visit. I would describe as pricey for what it is but I also would say it’s definitely worth it. The options of combinations of toppings and flavors of creams is limitless. If you can try it I would say you should. Great place with great options to indulge on occasion. They also will accommodate special requests and let you try the creams before you commit to a certain flavor. Just ask to “To Taste” a flavor“
