50 Best American Restaurants near Gladstone

“Great service and great people. Good was good also.“

“We were staying overnight at The Fairfield Inn, and The Summit Grill was recommended to us for a dinner location. We were pleasantly surprised at the deliciously amazing food, quick service, and also our attentive waiter, Travis. I highly recommend the Traditional Pot Roast, and my husband recommends the Chicken-Fried Chicken. If we are in Gladstone again, we will defintely return.“

“The service was on point and that double burger basket was just what I have been used to as a kid. Great place in a small space! If you are around here, I recommend it! : )“

“I cannot express enough how amazed I am with the customer service. Yesterday (Super Bowl Sunday—-GO CHIEFS!) I placed an online order. My pick up time was at 5 (earliest I could get because I waited too long to place the order) I arrive early hoping it would be done earlier because I had people arriving at my house and I didn’t want to miss the game. When I arrived it was packed on people waiting. I assumed I was going to be there for awhile so asked if I could order a beer. They got me a beer and a chair. As I sat there for over an hour (it went past my pick up time) I saw all of the employees working very hard trying their best to fill the orders quickly. Some of the customers were being quite rude to the girls up front as the customers were upset their food wasn’t ready. The girls did an amazing job keeping everyone calm they would simply just smile and tell them they are working on it. I was so impressed how these girls handled themselves not one time did I hear them get snippy with a customer even tho I’m sure they wanted to. It was always a smile with a polite response. I was there almost til the end and a guy started yelling at the girls and still it was a smile and polite response. I got my food and made it for the game and the food was delicious as always!“

“OMG my First Time here & it was 🔥🔥!“

“I ordered garlic parm boneless wings. The description on the menu says they are tossed in sauce. These were dry as dust and overcooked to an incredibly hard crunch. They did sprinkle some shredded parm over them, but it didn't even stick to these dry chicken rocks. Won't order that ever again!

Our server was great, but she was overworked. Be generous with those trying to do their best.“

“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!!“

“ACRE is amazing! The atmosphere is perfect, and the food is exceptional—easily the best in Kansas City. Highly recommend it, 10/10!“

“Great customer service by the staff. Amazing food. I mean really really good. I had raw oysters, small Caesar, buttermilk fried chicken and a burger to go.“

“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.“

“Great experience for lunch and a romantic dinner.“

“Our family eats at Nick and Jake's often and we love it!! Great food, great prices.“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

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

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

“Had a great lunch today at the bar with Kylie. She was very personable & fun to talk with. We had the French Dip & the KC Cuban. Both were amazing. They have a very expansive drink menu. Last and not least is the history of the building and the vault!“

“We were passing thru and staying at Best Western Premier. The desk clerk recommended Conrad’s! We went there and so glad we did! Claire was our waitress and she was amazing! Hubby has allergies and she went back twice to make sure he was ok!! We shared the Blue Chips appetizer…with a couple cold ones. OMG….they were soooo good! We had regular BBQ sauce instead of Buffalo. Amazing! And you get so much!! Definitely enough to share! Then we both ordered the grilled chicken wrap with ranch dressing. That also was so very good! I brought 1/2 of mine back to motel for breakfast in the morning. For a side I had steamed broccoli which was excellent. Hubby had the mixed vegetables. It is a casual but nice place!! Claire was awesome and so was the food!“

“Great atmosphere. Beef Tartar was wonderful. Excellent selection of wines. 100% will impress a girl. Go forth men. Show them a good night.“

“Tonight we went to celebrate an accomplishment by my teenage daughter. I am a member of a Northland restaurant group and I was told to ask for Jamie because she is highly recommended. She was our server and my gosh, she went above and beyond. She mad our night wonderful and my daughter could NOT have been happier. Absolutely beaming. Thank you Stroud’s and Jamie for giving us a wonderful night that we won’t soon forget.“

“We have had an incredibly busy and full couple of weeks, and came to Cooper’s Hawk for a wine tasting and a meal. The wine tasting hostess was wonderful, the food was good,, but the best part was our server, Valencia. She was knowledgeable, entertaining, and on the mark every single time.“

“service was great, waiter's were nice, the food was excellent, I would recommend Farmhouse to everyone,You Will love it“

“Fish and chips were amazing!“

“Excellent evening of historical information, music, entertainment, great food and drinks! Lonnie is exceptional and he is so personable! He is a master and connected with the audience expertly working the room and talking to everyone individually! Blew my mind and I will be back!“

“Shout out to the Culver’s employee who made my beautiful strawberry fields salad this evening! It was PERFECTION!! Not only was the salad beautiful, but everything was Super Fresh! The lettuce was so very fresh & crisp; the strawberries were perfectly ripe, juicy, & freshly sliced; the grilled chicken was a generous portion & still warm, but not so hot as to wilt the lettuce. The pecans & blue cheese chunks weren’t soggy. Perfection! 😁Thanks so much!“

“We were greeted by Lara. It was a pleasant experience. Order came quickly. It is child-friendly.“

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

“Brooke was our waitress and she fantastic“

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

“I like this location better than riverside the staff is always friendly and the food has been good“

“Awful!!! The chicken was grease soaked & pink, the noodles were overcooked, the Alfredo sauce had so much grease and oil sitting on top. I took a few bites & hours later threw up! The "manager" was supposed to call me for a refund and that never happened. I will never be back or ever recommend. Horrible customer service - thanks for the hour wait for the meal delivery as well as food that was not edible. Also the no call back "to make it right"“

“Sauced offers a delightfully unique dining experience! This stationary spot, cute like a food truck and nestled perfectly between buildings, has a charm all its own. Their menu is refreshingly short and simple, which works perfectly to highlight their delicious offerings. While drink options are limited to water and Sprite, it's better than nothing and gets the job done. I highly recommend the Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and 'The Fry'—loaded with pulled pork and BBQ sauce—is an absolute must-try!

A quick note on the practicalities: Parking was quite challenging to find, especially with the ongoing construction out front. Also, due to recent rain, the outdoor seating area was soaked. However, these are clearly not the fault of the restaurant itself and don't detract from the fantastic food and concept.“

“Great Food and service. Would come here again.“

“My wife and I stopped in for the first time in a few years. We were seated after a bit of a wait. It is after all a Friday night in a shopping district. Our server was bright and cheery. She had a warming smile and happy persona. we placed our drink order. Shortly thereafter our food order was taken. I ordered a flat iron steak and a baker. My wife ordered soup and salad. Our dinner was served fairly quickly. Unfortunately my steak was quite a bit overcooked, so I requested one that wasn't over done. When the replacement steak was delivered, it was a bit overdone as well. I was hungry so I kept it. The manager came by to talk to us. I've spent time in a kitchen or two and I understand a dinner rush. The manager stopped at our table and wanted to assure us that this was not acceptable. She made things right, but wasn't needed or expected. I felt bad for our server because she probably feared she wasn't going to get tipped for a fairly big check. She was pretty wrong. I tipped correctly and arguably better than normal. Our return visit ended up being a great experience. We met a couple of wonderful human beings. Had some pretty good food. And, of course, my wife and I got to connect.“

“My wife and I enjoy eating there every time we travel to Liberty. Food is unique and very tasty and filling. A great value. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is comfy. Thangs everyone. 👍“

“A total of 12 hungry guys showed up after a long day of golf. We had traveled 5+ hours to the area for a nice long weekend of brotherhood. At the time this place was chosen to eat we didn't know how bad we actually needed it ! Food was amazing. Service amazing. Scott himself came out of the back to talk to all the patrons. Ended up giving us a mini tour of the smoke sanctuary. Beyond awesome. Bought some spicy sausage to bring home for the family. Worth your time, money and effort to go to this place. I will be back somehow some way. ... - Tony (Springfield, IL)“

“Our 4 night stay at Indigo was simplified and greatly enhanced by the amazing food and great service at Dott Boss. Excellent bar as well. The Cinderblock cherry cider is best in the nation.“

“Great little bar tucked away in Platte Woods. One of the last to allow smoking! The food is amazing, and very large portions. The drinks are great and they have a wide variety to choose from! Open 7 days a week with specials every day! The atmosphere is like a "Cheers" bar, go check them out!“

“I chose Fox and Pearl to have my daughter’s Baby Shower and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service were wonderful. They made us feel as special as the occasion we were celebrating. What I had envisioned is what I got and more. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My grandson loves Culver’s!“

“Vivilore has the most amazing patio garden. great for a leisurely lunch or cocktails. Bring a few girlfriends and enjoy the delightful setting and good food.“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“My husband and I just stayed here to attend the Kansas City Symphony concert featuring Cody Fry. This is a gorgeous hotel in a perfect location to experience everything downtown KC has to offer. We were blown away by the amenities and friendly staff! The Stillwater breakfast buffet was delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“SMAXX is the place to be! Especially on Wednesday’s for $1 whole wings. My husband has tried many other food items and likes it! 🔥phillies and burgers too! I don’t go at night so I can’t speak to that, but during the day, the music is always jammin’ with R&B hits. If you haven’t tried it, you should.“

“The new onion petals are delish. They cook the nice and crispy. We had the pot roast bowl and it never disappoints. Service was great. Prices are getting a little much but for the most part it was worth it.“

“Our first visit. Chicken sandwich and fries (predicatable store bought fries, Krinkle cut). Service was outstanding! Scale of 1-10, would be a 6. Good enough to try again!“

“Love your show....Great food...Great people...Support your locals... Always“

“Had great Easter Brunch here was super awesome food service atmosphere loved it!!“
