New American Restaurants near Lenexa, KS

“Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Recommend 💯.“

“Ate here last night and this restaurant is a "must try!" I had the 12 oz. KC Strip, mashed potatoes, garlic green beans, and... for dessert, apple caramel bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream was to die for! The atmosphere was a bit loud for my taste, but aside from that, it was delightful!“

“Food was overall solid.
Got the smoky mountain flat iron steak, mac and cheese, goat cheese grits. I also added on a side of rosemary parmesan crispy potatoes.

The steak had good flavor.
The mac and cheese was delicious, just a little cold when served.
The goat cheese grits was on the weaker side of flavor.
The potatoes were tasty.

The service was friendly and well paced.
The atmosphere looks fantastic, and the tables were clean.

For those with bigger appetites, you may not get full from your meal.“

“The food is delicious and it has a great vibe. Will definitely go back! 😋“

“We set a reservation with The Blue Moose two days in advance for a party of 30 composed of my daughter's soccer team and parental entourage. Marla and the staff took great care of us with prompt service and delicious food. The Blue Moose is a great choice for any group coming over from the Garmin Soccer Complex. Five stars all the way, and thanks again for the great meal.“

“Everything about our experience was amazing. Just wanted to come shout out the waitress that took care of a large company party today from 4-6. I didn’t catch her name, but she was so professional, quick, talented, friendly, and all around one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Hope her bosses see this and she gets some type of spiff bonus cause she deserves it!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Today was my husband's 75th birthday. He chose to have his celebration meal at Season's 52 and we were pleased as usual with the service (thanks to Michael) and the delicious food in true Season's 52 beautiful ambiance! It was truly memorable experience.“

“Very cool vibe, excellent drinks and food“

“Are you looking for a breakfast burrito that isn't overloaded with one particular ingredient, packs flavor, and is held together by a Yoli tortilla? THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. Seriously. I'm a snob when it comes to breakfast burritos, I want fluffy eggs, I want seasoned potatoes, I want thick bacon that is well distributed and not greasy. This burrito has it all + a aioli dipping sauce that is spicy and creamy and delicious. 10/10 would recommend. Added a cinnamon roll on the side because, duh.“

“Very good food, excellent service.“

“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“Phenomenal use of herbs and spices to enhance quality meats, fishes, and vegan dishes. Have eaten here twice with zero complaints. The lamb is out of this world! Burnt ends, Filet, Shrimp, Smash Burger, and Scallops were a big hit.“

“Valentin‘s date dinner! We sat by the window and had such a lovely time. We have eaten here many times over the years and the food quality doesn't disappoint. Service was excellent. The only drawback was my blackened cod entrée was quite small (4 oz maybe, but uncertain),in a lovely pool of broth with some shaved fennel on the side. Quite a tiny portion for the price! Taste was light and flavorful, but it definitely needed something more. I ended up ordering a side dish just so I could feel like I had a “meal“ the server was excellent and the food timely. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and all. Perfect for date night!“

“Omg, this place was awesome. Paul our server was to die for! from the kindness to the laughs he was great. The food was beautifully served and it was seasoned. I had the waffles and chicken oh my God that was so good.
Thanks so much for making our group feel special for my birthday.“

“First time going here and could not have been happier. To start, our server Ashley was simply amazing. Very attentive and answered every question we had, and made some amazing recommendations. The bread appetizer is a must! Had the wedge salad and it was amazing as well. My wife got the pork chop and I had the flank steak. Both dishes were incredible. The ambiance is perfect for a date night. Will definitely be back!“

“I worked here. The owner moved me to a new apartment and gave me 100 dollars just because. I still wear my PPT shirt around town and have some pressed pennies. Great food. Great family owners. The most cozy hidden gem in Kansas City!“

“I want there for dinner during restaurant week and was blown away by the food. I had a pear salad, grilled mahi and some type of Bailey's cheesecake type dessert. Every course was very flavorful and i couldn't help telling my husband throughout our meal how delicious it was. I also had a pomegranate martini, which was also incredible. It went beyond my expectations!!“

“One of the best steak salads I’ve ever had. And the Maytag blue cheese crumbles put it over the top! The service was five-star and the place was hopping!!!“

“Always have a good time , and the salted bun. Must get“

“I had the red snapper which had the perfect amount of spice and was correctly cooked. Too often smaller fish are overcooked, but this was perfect. My husband had the sea bass which was also perfect. Corn, which tasted fresh off the cob but I'm sure was frozen, was just super delicious and crisp. Our server, Layla was one of the most pleasant and efficient servers we've had. She knew exactly how much time to spend at each table sono table was neglected. We made another reservation later this week and asked for Layla.“

“I just celebrated my birthday last Sunday with all my friends. It was good food excellent service and good atmosphere! I highly recommend Yaya’s.“

“The ribeye is PERFECT, the atmosphere is wonderful and I had the honor of meeting the owner and thanking him personally for his hospitality, he’s a very very nice person and very welcoming! I don’t get up that way much (I’m from Wichita, KS) but when I’m back, you can bet Veritas is on the list of stops, I guarantee it 💯 Veritas is a 10 out of 5 stars“

“Everything is good here - especially the staff! I always change up what I order and Jonny’s never disappoints! Shout out to all of their hardworking and always wonderful staff!“

“I have been eating here for years and food and service is usually very good. I am never sure of their new hours since Covid. However, I was told by the front-line lady that because it was 15 minutes before closing I had to place my order to go. There were people there, still eating. Were they going to be asked to leave at closing? In the past I was never denied dine-in service.“

“Awesome employees and great prices“

“After spending fourteen years in KC, we developed a handful of staple restaurants, and BRGR was definitely one of our weekly go-tos. The quality and consistency of the food, paired with exceptional customer service, kept us coming back every week. Bread & Butter Concepts has set a high standard across all their restaurants, and BRGR is no exception. My latest takeout experience was another shining example of their commitment to excellence—Matzumi and Saye provided such genuine and authentic customer service, truly showcasing emotional intelligence. I can’t wait for my next visit to KC and will definitely be back to BRGR. Thank you for bringing bliss to National Hamburger Day!“

“I really only come here for the sports bar atmosphere. Food is not anything spectacular but tolerable much like any other sports bar in the area. Service this day was sub par. I think our bartender/ server may have been high, as they really messed up our order. But all in all, kinda what I expect from Johnny's.“

“This place is an absolute gem! The low lighting and ambiance make for such a cozy and inviting dining experience. I've been here a few times for dinner now, and every time, the atmosphere is just perfect. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Whether it's a date night or a nice evening out with friends, this restaurant never disappoints.“

“They are the best at Customer Service. They were kind enough to let me add onto a reservation when I was planning a birthday party. Great food and great service.“

“Friends took me out for my 91st birthday and I requested Paulo's. Been there many times for 45 years. Always order chicken Piccata. Had garlic bread which was excellent. My order came and There was about a full cup of mashed potatoes with a small chicken breast on it. About 2". Chicken was not very tender and I ate the lunch in about 5 bites. Cost $16. no veggies or salad. Gentleman came over and asked how everything was and I told him . Portion was so small. He was very nice and took my lunch price off the bill. I will be back one more time because I really always liked it there. Also had lunch at 2:30 and no one else there but 3 people at the bar. I hope there is some improvement in the portions of some memu items in the future.“

“Love EVERYTHING about LWD!!!“

“Definitely a very nice staff. Feels really crammed inside though. I had ordered a catering order and I understand it was last minute but they told me they were able to do it. I called about 45 mins to an hour before scheduled pick up to make sure it would still be ready on time and the lady said you’re scheduled for this time so yes it will ready in a sarcastic tone. Okay I was just asking because if it was going to be later then I would come later instead of standing there waiting no big deal. So I get there at my scheduled time and it took them a good 10 minutes just to get my bill together. Then I had to wait another 20 minutes for the food. Granted I ordered the bare minimum for a catering order. Again I get I ordered it same day but don’t say you can do it by a certain time if you cannot. I’m a very understanding person but I ended up being late to where I needed to go because of waiting so long. They also have you wait at the bar which I don’t feel comfortable with because 1. I’m not trying to sit down to pick up food and 2. I’m taking up a spot that someone could be sitting in. Other than that the food wasn’t horrible just very mediocre.“
