50 Best American Restaurants near Mission

“Fabulous fresh smash burger“

“Ordered buffalo tenders and got regular
on my way to work. Didn't realize it until I started eating in the car. I called to get a replacement. I was told to keep the regular tenders until after my shift and replace with the correct. I was hungry and of course ate before my shift. Partially my fault because I did not check my order before I left. Anthony at the window had great customer service food was good just not what I ordered. The male I spoke to on the phone was close minded to a mistake even being made. I wish this review had the option for me to upload a photo.“

“Village Inn Team Member Susan does an OUTSTANDING Job. We need more folks in the world lije Susan.“

“This place is awesome!!!! Fast service .....super good food. From Wisconsin and this beats any place in Wisconsin so far!“

“oh. my. God. best BLT. best chicken sandwich 🥪! Best sweet potato fries... I could go on all day! Get over here and see for yourself!“

“Awesome employees and great prices“

“Outstanding service! Excellent Food! Never a bad experience. Great place for sports! Go Chiefs and Hawks! Clean, Friendly…neighborhood bar!“

“Came in on a Sunday after a brutal fight with the missus. I was having a really rough day, but boy, do those mozzarella sticks cheer you up! And don’t even get me started on the service (in a good way, ofc).

My server, Eliza, was the absolute sweetest. She has the vibe (as the kids would say) of my previous wife, Lindsay. That being said, Lindsay had severe anger issues that she’d take out on the dog—not to say that I peg Eliza as a dog beater. She was great: really blue eyes, a nice feminine figure, the works!

She came back several times to check on me and asked how the food was, but I was too busy stuffing my gullet with that delicious pie. Anyhow, I recommend that you make The Other Place your new place! Boy, do I crack myself up sometimes!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Food was amazing! 1000/10! Definitely worth the 7hr drive“

“Had a great time at Guy Fieri’s Dive & Taco Joint while enjoying the soccer atmosphere at Kansas City’s Power & Light District. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the carne asada fries, and both were delicious. The carne asada was flavorful, and the fries were loaded and perfect for sharing.

The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively with lots of fans around. Great food, great energy, and a fun place to hang out while watching soccer. We would definitely come back next time we’re in Kansas City! ⚽🌮😊🔥“

“We have had Earl’s Premier on our radar for a while. Decided it would be the perfect place to go explore for our 19th wedding anniversary. It felt like we were on vacation the moment we walked in the door. John and Nico showed us great hospitality.“

“It had been a while since we ventured into downtown KCMO, and we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall, the food was good, though not quite at the level we expected for the price. One clear takeaway: avoid the fried items. We wish we had read the negative reviews beforehand, because the wings were unfortunately the worst we’ve ever had overly oily and lacking flavor. As a big wings fan, the execution was especially frustrating: the batter wasn’t right, the texture was greasy, and the seasoning simply missed the mark. The shrimp toasts were also disappointing—very soggy bread to the point that I felt it wasn't cooked in the middle.

That said, the “Japanese‑style” dishes featuring raw fish were much better. The sushi taco was a standout, and my friends really enjoyed the bone marrow beef tartare. For the main course, the scallop pasta had great potential, but the salt was heavy—particularly on the scallops and toward the bottom of the bowl, even after mixing.

On a positive note, the drinks, desserts and service were excellent, easily deserving five stars.“

“Stunning space & fantastic food & staff. Must have a great local beef connection because it’s priced perfectly & very reasonably for the area“

“Cameron our waiter was amazing. Everything exceeded our expectations.“

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

“what's not to love??? great atmosphere, amazing food and central location! you MUST check it out:)“

“The food experience. If you have not been to an authentic BBQ in Kansas before, this needs to be on your list“

“The big biscuit is wonderful. Food was excellent. very clean. staff was exceptional. our waiter was Chandler. he was the most polite, friendly and efficient person we could ever ask for. thank you for the good food and great service. cant wait for our next visit.“

“Very good food, excellent service.“

“My entire party agreed the food was fresh and delicious! Many options from which to choose.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and we loved our waitress. I had the crab cakes, mushroom gnocchi, and carrot cake which were all fantastic! The only downside was that the portions were pretty small so even after my husband and I both got an appetizer, entree, and dessert we were still a bit hungry.“

“Excellent fried Brie & service.“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“Fish and chips were amazing!“

“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!“

“Went to a show at The Garage. Not a bad seat in the house, clean bathrooms, easy access to the bar, and CHEAP DRINKS! Got a shot of Jack and a Hamms for $7...AT A SHOW! Love love love this venue! Thanks again Chris for the hospitality. Beau Nasty's In The Pit Radio Show 💪🫠🤘“

“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.“

“I work at a bakery in Lees Summit and our customer constantly rave about this place. This is our 3rd time and every single time the steak is consistent and perfect. I'm usually an eat steak at home girl but nick and jakes puts my steak to shame. I'm happy to let them cook me a steak anytime!“

“Food is really good, I've ordered many times from them but my last order included an $8.25 fee for carry out supplies. They charge a percent of the entire bill. No where in the check out process do they tell you this. This seems excessive for 6 utensil packs and 5 takeout containers. Many other BBQ places with similar price points do not charge this fee. If you are going to charge extra fees be up front about it.“

“unbelievably just out of this world“

“Hands down one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. I stumbled upon Lonnie’s during my stay at the Ambassador and it was exactly the kind of authentic Kansas City experience I was looking to have while visiting. Lonnie is so full of energy you can’t help but feel electrified sitting in the room, and the music will have you swinging along with him.“

“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“Amazing food and staff. Will definitely be going back.“

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

“The food was amazing and the staff was great! We had such a good time.“

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞“

“Feels like your at a resort in Napa! Love it!“

“I'm not so sure about the Westport location after witnessing an employee kind of heavy set with dreads died at the tips snorting cocaine in the back by the dumpsters and selling drugs he had to be the cook and I just do not want any fairy dust on my waffles or my chicken I rather go braid water or bite the curb that is not what I expected to see when pulling up and I definitely don't want to spend my money with an establishment that knowingly hires drug addicts“

“The Sunday brunch was so satisfying, it is also at a reasonable price. Even though I don't drink the bottomless mimosas are great they have different flavors. My wife ordered a raspberry one and she let me taste it. The fresh baked cookies were delicious.“

“If i could give more than 5 stars I would! Our server, Stephen, was perfectly attentive and very personable. The prime rib was butter tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Highly recommend J. Alexander's Restaurant for a great meal! Ask for Stephen!“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“I probably eat here once a week. The experience and customer service is very consistently good. The food is very above average for a fast food chain, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are excellent. Very friendly, professional, and attentive. The service is also very quick, which is appreciated.“

“Just discovered and it’s great for a diner style meal.“
