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!“

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

“Sierra M. was very nice and professional. The food was delicious. The other staff were friendly as well. Nice environment.“

“I have really looked forward to going to this restaurant and have followed them on social media for quite some time. It's a little out of the ways for us so we don't normally go to this area for anything but decided to give it a shot today. The place was not busy and we were informed that it's best to have a reservation even though there was no wait. We were seated by the bar area and waited while watching other guys get served and made eye contact with the bartenders several times who were assisting other guests that arrived after us only to be ignored. The experience was extremely disappointing and we didn't stay to order as no one came to offer coffee or water let alone order breakfast. Hopefully you have a better experience but we will not be back.“

“Was there for my brother's birthday celebration in one of their party room.It was wonderful.Food was excellent,service was great. Recommended highly.“

“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!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“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.“

“Amazing, from the minute you site down you get the beast tasting, fresh baked bread. I had the Cauliflower appetizer to start . And then the crab cake. Finished with best creme brulie.

The menu changes everyday so. I had what you may not get to have.

Highly recommend.“

“Our experience was fabulous! Our waitress, Mars, went out of her way to accommodate every silly request I made- including making me a special non alcoholic drink!

The food was amazing- the service was top notch, and every single person who works there is a friggin delight- our first time in- we will absolutely be back.

PS the Manchego Brussel Sprouts- chefs kiss!“

“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!“

“Phil was an amazing bartender and great to chat to. Definitely ask for him when you go! He'll definitely hook you up drink wise. Walter also gave me a great drink recommendation, so if you feel like trying something different ask for the Walter Special too, haha.
I also highly recommend the burnt end mac & cheese 🤌“

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

“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!“

“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.“

“Stopped in around 7pm on a Saturday after a Royals game. It was busy but a few tables open. First impression was not good as the gentlemen who seated us seemed mad at the world and barely spoke but things went uphill from there. Our server was great, very helpful and friendly.

I had the pork tenderloin sandwich that had a tenderloin that was twice the size of the bun and tasted awesome. One of the best I've ever had. My wife also enjoyed her French dip and our drinks were also good. Definitely a place we'd return.“

“First time visiting this establishment. I've been to plenty of restaurants, and those that know me know I'm BIG on service. So, I sit at the bar this afternoon for lunch. Courtney who was the bartender, was the best I've seen the way she handled her regular customers, along with new patrons like myself. She was phenomenal!

Now back to the food. I had the tacos, along with a side of fries. The tacos were amazing! The atmosphere was great!“

“Brunch for wife and teen daughter was spot on. Quality of ingredients comes through. For example, breakfast sausage in the breakfast sandwich was light and herby. Wife's French toast was outstanding.

Would recommend and we look forward to returning.“

“Awesome employees and great prices“

“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!!!“

“Decent chopped salad with salmon and burger“

“Love the variety of salad options“

“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!“

“We're out of towners looking for a bite to eat near our hotel and stumbled upon Barley's. Our waiter was great and attentive. Food and brews were delicious. We also loved the live music. Perfect date night.“
