50 Best American Restaurants near Prairie Village

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

“BEST DINING IN KC AREA!!!! I have eaten in great restaurants around the world, and Story continues to be one of the best I have ever experienced. If you have never been there, GO! If you have been, but not gone back, GO! Two of us went last night and shared 5 different items, all were incredible. Their green salad is so fresh and flavorful, I dream about this salad; I love the hint of mint and pistachios too! The gazpacho was lovely, and the tiny fresh corn kernels garnish had a little mouth-bursting experience that was subtle yet fantastic! And I cannot say enough great things about the heirloom tomato salad; the goat cheese schmeer was lovely, as was the dressing. And I'm not sure what the garnish was, but it added a little bit of a delicate crisp. The main event though in this dish were the incredible tomatoes, and can I shout from the rooftops - they were peeled! How often does a restaurant, or anyone for that matter, peel tomatoes? Well, we all should! They are so much sweeter this way, and it helped enhance the delicate flavors in this dish! Also, we had the lobster tagliatelle, and it was awesome, as always. The sauce was flavorful but also delicate enough to allow the sweet flavor of the lobster to come through, and the homemade pasta was perfect! Dessert was a special butter cake with a blueberry compote, which was an excellent close for this lite dinner. I must also note their wine selection by the glass is carefully curated and wonderful, and their cocktails are fantastic as well, and customizable. OH - and I cannot get enough of their housemade bread and butter- I'm just saying! Although we didn't have the halibut last night, I've had it many times before and it is always fantastic! Service is incredible here, too, and the ambiance aligns with the rest of the fantastic dining experience! Hats off to owners Chef Carl and Susan Thorne-Thomsen! Carl has taken his earlier career Michael Smith experience to a whole new level! DO NOT MISS this hidden gem!!!“

“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 skipped the food as we stopped in during the taco festival, but holy awesome service Batman! Victoria (maybe Veronica?) and Brie were awesome bartenders. Very fun and personable. Kept us in margaritas 🍹 and were an absolute joy! Looking forward to going back.

What food we did see looked amazing. Everything was beautiful and really made us want to try it.

Go say hi to the ladies at the bar and have a jello shot!“

“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!!“

“Great food and drinks. Excellent service and a fun atmosphere.“

“Maybe KC's first Michelin star? Probably too soon to say, but this is a dining experience like nothing else local. Every single item was perfection, and purposeful, and delicious. Beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service too. The owner makes a point to visit every table and he seems like a really great guy (and certainly a stellar chef and restauranteur). My favorite thing was probably the chicken wings. Nothing pedestrian about them. I also loved the yuzu sake.“

“Took my wife here for her birthday. The service was great and so was the atmosphere. 5 Stars across the board, will be coming back“

“We traveled from South Carolina to visit family and they took us to Brewer's Kitchen. The food was exceptional. Each burger option is unique, fresh cut fries seasoned just right. The fact that everything is locally sourced is a plus in my book. The staff was friendly and caring. Give Brewer's Kitchen a try and you'll go back.“

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

“The food was fresh and flavorful. What had the most flavor was the personality and presentation by our food server Brooklyn. Brooklyn knew the menu inside and out. She made our dining experience the most enjoyable evening in a very long time. With a server like Brooklyn, It is no wonder Nick & Jake enjoys the reputation it has.“

“Room 39 was the perfect spot for my only night in Kansas City. I made the mistake of deciding to go vegetarian, right before I visited a city famous for its bbq meat! So glad I found this gem of a restaurant. I had a perfect table by the window, with the radiator under the table making it cozy and toasty. The cocktails and dishes were fantastic - two Boulevardiers, a Brussels sprout soup, gnocchi with goat cheese, and the flourless chocolate cake with Earl Grey tea. My server Tory was terrific. I can’t recommend it highly enough.“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!! Can’t wait to go back and dine on the patio!!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Everything about Culver's is outstanding except their gluten-free hamburger buns. Since the gluten-free hamburger is the only main dish food item they have, I'm kind of stuck with it when my family wants to eat at Culver's for family dinner night. Everything about the burger is great except the bun. It's reminiscent of the gluten-free buns of 20 years ago. It's grainy, doesn't hold together, and doesn't taste that good. Just the act of picking up my burger tonight had it cracking in 4 places, with a big chunk falling off the burger and crumbling onto my tray. There are a lot of great gluten-free buns out there now. Culver's needs to find one of them and switch.

“Nice little fast food joint.
Last night, while I was at Culver’s, a woman fell in the parking lot and her spouse was struggling to help her up. One of the staff members quickly rushed over to assist them, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful and kind. I also went over to make sure she was okay, but it really stood out to me that the staff didn’t hesitate to step in and help. Moments like that speak volumes about the people who work here. Great food and even better character from the team—I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“So it is Monday July 14 and we just left Joe’s BBQ and my wife told me that my BBQ is better the Joe’s any-day. Sunday night we went to Q39 and wow what a difference. My wife and I both had the 3 meat and sides of beans,and vegetables. Every single thing we had was great. Chicken(white meat) had good flavor but chicken is chicken. Sausage was full of flavor with the peppers. Ribs were fall off the bone and didn’t need sauce. The pulled pork was really soft and melted in the mouth good. So at this point I have to say if you are in Kansas City for BBQ go to Q39 last because nothing compares the it at least in Kansas City anyway.“

“The oxtails with grits, banana pudding, peach cobbler and basa fish was excellent. I will be returning“

“I had breakfast. Very good biscuits and gravy. I also had a Mimosa.“

“Top notch food and service!!!! Definitely recommend it.“

“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“

“Ordered Pizza and a Salad for the crew at work and it was amazing as always.“
