“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.”
“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us”
“This little local gem is such a gift to Kansas City! The coffee is phenomenal, food delicious, but NOTHING beats the warmth and inclusion the staff offers freely to each guest! I always leave this beautiful establishment with a full heart, and the sustenance I need to make it through another day of caring for the KCMO community. Thank you, Anchor Island, for loving us so well! We love you! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖”
“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻”
“Not only was the food exceptional, our waitress Lauren was absolutely amazing! She recommended the wood grilled corn and bacon flatbread, which was amazing, heard us talking about desserts and a bakery we wanted to try and gave her review. Attentive and nice. Will definitely be back for all the other seasons to come!”

“We accidentally stumbled across the Black Garlic while looking for someplace to eat near the Uptown Theater. What a WONDERFUL discovery we made. Starting with the atmosphere, which had such a cool, sleek vibe. We had the pleasure of having Monica and Terry serve our table. They gave wonderful drink recommendations, and the drinks were outstanding and beautiful. The food… I had the Crab Cakes which were some of the best I have had. My husband enjoyed a dish called Giya which was a pork shoulder with a black mushroom rice. And our friend had the shrimp tibs. All of us were floored at how delicious our food was. We have already recommended to several friends and this is definitely a place we will keep coming back to! This experience was 10/10!”
“My husband and I decided to drop by for some lunch and we were quite content :) The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute and colorful, while the service friendly and prompt. I ordered the Sumac Chicken Kabob after asking the waitress for a recommendation and my husband ordered the Arayes and fries. They were both flavorful and a good portion size. We would definitely come back when we get another chance!”

“Wow! This is one of the best wineries I have been to in the area! Beautiful vineyard in the hills! The tour is well worth it! We lucked out, our tour was led by Austin, a sommelier with a pure love of grapes and wine, who happened to be here for the harvest. 70 variety of grapes! So much history! We will return!”
“Noka was beyond wonderful! I’ve never had a dining experience that was so unique, surprising, and delicious.
Our server, Lauren, was top-notch: attentive to every need, full of great recommendations, and wonderfully warm and engaging.
Head chef Megan was just as lovely—so friendly and welcoming, and incredibly talented. Every dish we tried was fantastic. The manager checked in with us to ensure that we were having a good experience.
The chicken wings were a delicious surprise—an unexpectedly refined take on a familiar favorite. The mushrooms in the fried rice were to die for, and the sushi rolls were amazing. We can’t say enough good things about the food.
The atmosphere made the evening even more special, with pottery, exposed wood, great music, and even a bathroom that felt like an experience of its own. I wanted to move in. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you.”
“My husband and I drive from Omaha at least twice a year for date weekend and we always dine at Stock Hill. We love love love the ambience, service, food, all of it. It hits the mark for that dreamy, darkish, amber glow ambience, especially in the later months. This past weekend we went to KC on a whim and knew they were booked and decided we would be fine with a seat at the bar. When we inquired about a table for 2, the hostess explained that they were booked and could sit at the bar. We were totally great with that! But the “head honcho” came out of nowhere and told us he actually had a table for 2. The cherry on top? He proceeded to seat us at the table we first sat at when we went there for date weekend years ago. Thank you! 🥰”
“Loved how they incorporated members of the audience who had no clue what was going on.”
“We just ate there for lunch and both of us are excited to recommend it to friends and family! The food was really amazing. We both had jerk chicken, cabbage, and plantains. All three were terrific. The service was so very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is quite creative and welcoming. Please give them your business!”

“I've been coming to this place for years and one thing that never gets old the women they're just so darn beautiful and the down to earth you want a good laugh a good conversation or hell trust to have someone ask you are you doing all right that's the place to go highly recommended”
“I love Whataburger, I don't get to go very often since they don't have any where I am from. The wife and I were excited to get their Dr. Pepper shakes and they were not serving them anymore. It is hard to believe that this delicious shake can't be kept on full time. At any rate, I tried the peaches and cream and the wife got chocolate. Both were delicious!”
“Wish this page would allow me to send a PM. But it doesn't so . . . I'll copy and paste what I posted to another page. Today I went to McDonald's across from Chouteau Crossings. My card was declined. Which puzzled me. I don't keep much money in my account, but there should have been much more than enough to cover $6 and change. (Figured out later that it was because they put a hold my last deposit - even though it was drawn on their bank - AND - there was a big funds freeze from a recent small gasoline purchase.) I was surprised and embarrassed and apologized. I was about to pull away when the young man looked at me and said: "Don't sweat it. I got you." Pulled out his wallet and swiped his card for my meal. People are good. I'm going to do something to make that young man glad for his act of kindness soon if I can. If you happen upon him (his mask was a modified neck gator (had ear straps, but also covered the back of his neck) with a sort of blue tribal print on a black background and came to a point on his chest, somewhat like a bandanna would - tell him thanks for me.”
“I tried the Arc Burger at McDonald’s today and was honestly really impressed. The burger was juicy and packed with flavor. I even took a video of it because it felt like something the CEO of McDonald’s should see, as I interpreted him in the video like everyone else in the world, and this is how a burger should be done.
The sauce was delicious and really tied everything together. The crispy onions were super crispy, adding great texture and flavor. Even the bun stood out. It had poppy seeds and was actually really tasty, which surprised me because buns are usually forgettable.
To be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of McDonald’s burgers in the past, but this one completely changed my mind. This was a really solid burger from top to bottom.
If this is the direction McDonald’s is going with their burgers, they’re definitely on the right track.
Service lacked due to no personal touch even after opening the door for engagement.”
“We stopped here Friday night of Labor Day weekend. It was dinner time and man, was it packed!!! Many people were waiting and they were slammed. However, the staff was super cheerful and they didn't seemed stressed in the slightest. I had three people check on me while I was waiting for pick up and they all helped people get in and out as quick as possible.”
“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!!”
“Wow! This is one of the best wineries I have been to in the area! Beautiful vineyard in the hills! The tour is well worth it!

“Baba's pantry is a wonderful restaurant. The staff is so kind, the two ladies helping me at the front were welcoming. They offered me cute stickers to put on my water bottle, and I tried their sesame cookie. I ordered the falafel sandwich (highly recommend). All in a all, a lovely place, and I will definitely be back sometime!”
“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.”
“Oh, black hole to walk in is to enter a forest made of wheat and fire something in there rises the way morning rises slow and golden and certain thank you for feeding us like the earth feeds the trees without asking why best bakery in kc hands down the wild yeast knows -Johnson Browne”
“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”

“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.”
“Gigi provides the healthiest most organic and tastiest food in Kansas City at this moment in time. If you use your free will to purchase from other similar well-meaning vendors, you may be missing out on a lot of organic ingredients that could cost you a lot more than mere money down the line... Support Gigi’s Vegan + Wellness Café as much as you can make it up there.”
“I try to explore local eateries and coffee shops whenever I’m on work trips, and I have to hand it to Fitti’s. The atmosphere is so homey and cozy, the coffee was amazing and I also tried one of their brownies - everything was fantastic. The day I visited was kind of rainy, so the vintage lights glowing and the soft music playing was reminiscent of when I watch those “coffee shop jazz” videos on YouTube. I’m excited to return!”
“This is my favorite coffee shop in all of the KC metro. The vibes ALWAYS vibe and the community that always gathers in there is such a breath of fresh air. I drive 20 minutes to get there and I'd drive an hour, daily, to keep going if I had to. Thank you Renegade Team! Incredible space! 💙”

“Been coming to this coffee shop for over 10 years :) amazing coffee with the best espresso! Their food/sweets are also very yummy. My fav coffee place yet. The people working are always so kind and never have to wait too long for my order. They have some good prices too”
“Burgers are good, onion rings were excellent. Last time we went, they were out of onion rings. This time, we called before we went and was told they had onion rings. Twenty minutes later as we were placing our order, we were told they just ran out of onion rings. We left. How do you run out of onion rings? It’s really simple. If you consistently run out, order more. We will not be going back.”
“The food was great, and our waitress, Nicole, was great at giving service with a smile and good attitude. The only issue was that one of us ordered breakfast potatoes but got hashbrowns instead, though that seems to have been a kitchen mistake since the ticket still had potatoes when we paid. My family member didn’t mind the mistake though. My family and I had never been here before today, but we’ll definitely want to come back again.”
“Absolutely Amazing! This is the best bbq I have ever had from a restaurant hands down. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of beans and I can not wait to try everything else on the menu. Even the pickles are Amazing. You have to try this place for yourself. You won't regret it.”
“Ragazza is my favorite restaurant. We’ve been several times. Tonight we had Liz as a server and Channing helped out as well. Both of them were awesome. The food.. as always was awesome. Drinks superb. If you haven’t tried Ragazza you should. The Eggplant parm is my favorite but everything is honestly delicious.”
“Mark Robinson and his team are conclusive and their ability to direct you into which area you can develop is key. They have a keen intuition for where the market is headed and when to makes profits. they are worth listening to. Try the consultation! And never go low in your portfolio even when the Market is in dip or pump.”
Fine Dining
“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“I’ll be honest—I was a little nervous going into Akoya Omakase. I had never done any kind of Omakase experience before, and just looking at the menu was honestly a little intimidating. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if it would be something I would enjoy.
After experiencing it, I can confidently say: **if you like sushi, you will LOVE this place.**
But what really stood out to me was that this isn’t just a meal—it’s a dining experience. In my opinion, **Akoya Omakase is one of the best dining experiences in Kansas City**, especially if you do the **Chef’s Table**. Being able to watch everything come together and experience the food the way the chef intended made it something I won’t forget.
And if you go, **ask for Jay**. He was incredible. He made the entire experience feel comfortable and welcoming, especially for someone like me who had never done Omakase before. He explained things, answered questions, and made the experience feel approachable rather than intimidating.
I went in not really knowing what to expect and left already thinking about when I could come back.
**If you love sushi, go. If you love unique dining experiences, definitely go. And if you do, make sure you sit at the Chef’s Table and ask for Jay. You won’t regret it.**”
“We were having dinner celebrating my daughter and Patrice was our server. She was absolutely fabulous. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make our evening so special. My family has severe allergies and she made sure we felt comfortable with all our choices so we could relax and enjoy our night. I hope to have her take care of us again! It was a wonderful evening in every regard!”
“I think it's worth trying at least once. I think the food was really good. Everything was very nice. The server was absolutely fantastic. Service was fantastic. I think it was a little weird but not as you talk to the chef it becomes less so. But yeah, I would recommend this place food's pretty good. I really like the rice. It's a good time. More of a show but like a really yummy show.”
“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!”
“it's a perfect place to eat not because the food is better, but know how to entertain a 3 course meal over 2 1/2 hours. the contemporary series is a wonderful way to learn how to cook, ask questions and feel delighted in the best restaurant in the Greater Kansas City region! BAM! eat here at least once in your lifetime =)”
“Went there with a couple of friends last night to check the place out, and it is so awesome! Wonderful, friendly, cozy environment great, live music super tasty tacos . Highly recommend this place! Just head out with some friends and enjoy a stellar craft beer. Also check out the art on the walls!”
“Stunning space & fantastic food & staff. Must have a great local beef connection because it’s priced perfectly & very reasonably for the area”

“I have been dying to try this place but it is way across town for me. It was well worth the trip. I got “The Mind Latte” a mushroom concoction with mushroom cold foam. This is unique, creative and tasty. The whole vibe is awesome. I am so happy I made the trip. I will be back.”
“This is the coolest place in Kansas City! I was blown away by this gem. It is by far the coziest warehouse space I have ever been in. There are several conversation areas set up and so much soft seating to choose from. There is a small but excellent board game collection which was a great surprise. The book selection is so well curated! I had a delightful time hanging here for a drink and a browse. I will absolutely be back next time I come thru town. I loved this place so much!!!”
“I never expected to find such a gem scrolling for breakfast on google. Their breakfast menu brings a beautiful blend of culinary fine dining with home style comfort food. The owners are so kind and genuine quick to strike up a conversation. And their house made chai tea is absolutely to die for, I will definitely be back time and time again for that alone. I can’t wait to come back and try their specials!”

“Awruff! Bay Boy Sandwiches at the Commons! Where even to start! Tail-Wagging fun from the moment I walked it! Sports games, arcade games, lawn games, and skeeball! This place has it all! 🏈 🎯 🕹️I got a mouth-watering sandwich, The Bandit! Roast beef, smokey cheddar, red onion, raspberry jam and horseradish all on a delicious Dutch crunch roll! 🐶💚🥪 The atmosphere was high-energy and just felt less like strangers, and more like your own pack. It took a minute for our food to be ready, but it was so hot and fresh, and the staff were so nice I didn't mind! 10/10 🦴 will definitely be back!”
“I stumbled upon this little shop after begging the GPS to find the closest coffee shop on my way to work. Being greeted by a calm, sweet, warm eyed pup and great coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be making this a regular stop. The coffee is great (I had an iced mud pit) and the biscuits and gravy were the perfect comfy breakfast! Highly recommend checking this place out!”
“I have lived in the KC area all of my life, not sure how I never knew of this place. Really cool little farm to table restaurant. I went with 2 of my nephews today and we loved it. I had the Steak and Eggs Benedict and it was perfect. My nephews had the Salmon Scramble and the Huevos Burrito, and they both said they were great. We will be back.
Today was my second trip here and it was as good as it was the first time, but I had to get the steak and eggs benedict again. I went with my sister and her husband and three kids and all of them loved it. And I will say Adam was one of the best servers I've ever had.”
“Love Love LOOVVEEE their ice cream. I ordered the 6 mini scoop option(scoops were still pretty big). My daughter and I had a difficult time deciding which was our favorite because they were all so delicious! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies which were also amazing. I look forward to going back with the rest of my children. Thank you for your amazing service and the best ice cream I've had in a long time.”
“I mean it's Pierponts! You can never go wrong! The steak is melt in your mouth! So much better than other more expensive steakhouses in KC. Service was impeccable. Drinks were delicious! There's is something for anyone here. Atmosphere was beautiful!! Another wonderful night at Pierponts!”

“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.”
“My wife and I had our anniversary dinner there for the first time and we were so happy we did! Great shareable sizes, friendly waitress and priced right. Our favorite was the trout dish!”
“Great food, as always. We had guests from KY that wanted BBQ, and Jack's Stack took great care of us. Our server was attentive, despite handling several tables. KY guests really enjoyed their food - sandwiches, fries and salads.”
“Perfectly and freshly prepared menu items that just called on Spain! Absolutely delicious, charming surroundings and immaculate service. Luke and Megan made La Bodega totally memorable with their charm and polite kindness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Tonight we came to Thai Orchid for my birthday and sat in Dylan’s section and he was outstanding! So friendly and attentive. He gave us just enough time without being pushy. Our food was wonderful and fresh. I cannot recommend this location enough. We ordered the soft spring rolls, steamed dumplings, shrimp yellow curry and the shrimp pad Thai. Delicious!”
“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!”
“My husband and I had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was good as always. During our meal my husband had to use the rest room. He has some dementia and can’t walk very well. Unfortunately we were sitting at a table which was on the complete opposite side of the restaurant from the rest room. The server noticed our dilemma and said she would guide him over to the restroom. She was back immediately. I said, “Oh, he won’t be able to find his way back to this table.” The server told me not to worry about it. The restaurant manager had taken him over and would wait and bring him back. That is undoubtedly the kindest thing that has ever happened to us in a restaurant. Thank you to the wonderful people at the RoanRidge Texas Roadhouse.”
“There's a reason why we come back about every 2-3 weeks. The food is consistently delicious. The ambiance is always perfect for our date night. The host always recognizes us and seats as promptly with our reservation and our server Betsy always takes the utmost care of us. Honestly, she's one of the primary reasons why we keep coming back. Thank you for helping us with our date night. It's obvious you take the time to take care of the customers.”
“We accidentally stumbled across the Black Garlic while looking for someplace to eat near the Uptown Theater. What a WONDERFUL discovery we made. Starting with the atmosphere, which had such a cool, sleek vibe. We had the pleasure of having Monica and Terry serve our table. They gave wonderful drink recommendations, and the drinks were outstanding and beautiful. The food… I had the Crab Cakes which were some of the best I have had. My husband enjoyed a dish called Giya which was a pork shoulder with a black mushroom rice. And our friend had the shrimp tibs. All of us were floored at how delicious our food was. We have already recommended to several friends and this is definitely a place we will keep coming back to! This experience was 10/10!”
“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞”
“I stopped by Sidos Mediterranean Cuisine for dinner around 7:00 PM and ordered a chicken shawarma plate with hummus, rice, warm pita, and a Greek salad. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with a nice grilled flavor, while the hummus was creamy and had a good balance of garlic and lemon. The rice was fluffy and the pita came out warm, making it easy to scoop up the hummus and sauces. The salad was fresh and added a nice lighter side to the meal. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a casual, comfortable atmosphere and the portions were generous enough to leave me feeling full. Overall, it was a really satisfying Mediterranean meal and I'd definitely come back to try the falafel and other dishes.”
“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.”
“They had a nice variety of beers from different breweries. The service was good and the food was good. We spent a little over $50 on food and beer for 2 people, they’d not bad at all. There was no parking available in their side and back parking lot. We ended up parking on the street. However they do validate your parking spot if you find a spot to park in their parking lot. They have a ramp which is handicap accessible.”
“Delicious food. Great drink. Great service! Definitely coming back!”
“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!”
“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“We did the 4:30 distillery tour and it was really fun! There is not much walking and an elevator available for those that need it. Our tour guide was very interesting and he did a great job of teaching us about Tom Pendergast and also about the liquors that they distill. You can start with a drink in their bar and carry it with you throughout the tour if you like!”
“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last”
“We had a large group and they accomodated us at the last minute. We had some of their signature dishes served family style and all were great!”
“I’ll be honest—I was a little nervous going into Akoya Omakase. I had never done any kind of Omakase experience before, and just looking at the menu was honestly a little intimidating. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if it would be something I would enjoy.
After experiencing it, I can confidently say: **if you like sushi, you will LOVE this place.**
But what really stood out to me was that this isn’t just a meal—it’s a dining experience. In my opinion, **Akoya Omakase is one of the best dining experiences in Kansas City**, especially if you do the **Chef’s Table**. Being able to watch everything come together and experience the food the way the chef intended made it something I won’t forget.
And if you go, **ask for Jay**. He was incredible. He made the entire experience feel comfortable and welcoming, especially for someone like me who had never done Omakase before. He explained things, answered questions, and made the experience feel approachable rather than intimidating.
I went in not really knowing what to expect and left already thinking about when I could come back.
**If you love sushi, go. If you love unique dining experiences, definitely go. And if you do, make sure you sit at the Chef’s Table and ask for Jay. You won’t regret it.**”
“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.”
“Great atmosphere. Beef Tartar was wonderful. Excellent selection of wines. 100% will impress a girl. Go forth men. Show them a good night.”
“My husband and I came in from out of state and he made a reservation for us at Piropos, everything from our contact with the hostess to our departure from the restaurant was personable and the atmosphere was perfect for our date night the food was delicious and our waitress, Catherine, was extremely attentive and kind, as I’m in a wheelchair, making our visit one of the best nights we had on our 5 day stay in Kansas City! I would recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a classy atmosphere with the best waitstaff and food we’ve ever experienced!”
“Tong was literally the best server I had here! She was super helpful when it came to helping me order on the tablet because it was my first time eating here!”
“Every time I buy from Kobi-Q, whether it is there Grand street location or this new Westport location, I’m greeted well and an treated like I am an acclaimed guest. This is a definite pro when coming to their new sushi bar. If you have any questions on what things are, what is appropriate to share, what is a good item for newcomers, and what is off the beaten path, they help you in anyway they can to make the best possible dining experience. I love Kobi-Q on Grand st. And they haven’t let me down the 3-4 times I’ve been privileged enough to enjoy their sushi bar in Westport. Please come, have an open mind on sushi, and enjoy it. It’s an experience that I’ve had with plenty of good friends. <3”
“Darion was excellent. Simply excellent. This was our first visit here and we were not disappointed. Huge shareable portions, everything was hot and fresh. We will definitely be coming back. What an experience; so much fun and laughter over an excellent meal.”
“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.”
“My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at The Melting Pot, and the staff was amazing and the service was great! They made our anniversary so special!! I can not thank them enough. The manager surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries, our table decorated with roses, and gave me a rose! Our hostess made us a special two year plate with a delicious raspberry sauce. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“Awesome staff, phenomenal brews (especially if you like NE IPAs), creative cocktails, and delicious food. All within a fun and upbeat, yet classy atmosphere.”
“If you are looking for a quaint little spot for a romantic dinner, or out for a bachelorette party, or a simple girl's night out this is the place to get dressed up and enjoy good food, drinks and the company you are celebrating with. I do suggest you make reservations as the place is small and seats fill up quick.”
“FABULOUS ALL THE TIME. Food drinks people are ALL AMAZING. If you know you KNOW if you don’t know you just have to EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.”
“Really nice little restaurant on the ground floor of a condo building. I ordered takeout an hour ahead and it was ready to go when I arrived. I only stopped in but the place felt very cozy and calm. I got one of the meal combos and the rolls, nigiri, salad, and miso were all fresh and tasty. You can tell they take care in their work, even with the presentation in the takeout box. Surface lot parking was full in the evening when I arrived, it seemed to be shared with the condos. The community center close by had plenty of space though. It looks like they have two entrances, the main one and then a back one by the parking lot.”
“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜”
“Chef J's BBQ was incredible! I was lucky enough to be able to order The Boss, therefore I got to try the Brisket and Jalapeno BBQ Sausage and both tasted fresh with the perfect amount of smoke. The ratio of fat and tender meat on the Brisket was perfect. My girlfriend and I showed up hungry and left with a full belly. The staff that work at Chef J's BBQ make you feel like your eating at home. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“We were having dinner celebrating my daughter and Patrice was our server. She was absolutely fabulous. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make our evening so special. My family has severe allergies and she made sure we felt comfortable with all our choices so we could relax and enjoy our night. I hope to have her take care of us again! It was a wonderful evening in every regard!”
“Met some new friends for drinks on a Friday night. The vibe of this place is amazing. The cocktails and appetizers were exceptional and the staff was friendly & accommodating! We will definitely be back!!”
“This is my favorite Indian restaurant! We always get the veggie pakora, butter chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi! The staff is very attentive and service is timely and kind. Highly recommend that you try this out!”
“In August 2021, Hamburger Mary's Kansas City reported that the establishment would require proof of COVID-19 vaccination. I assumed the requirement had been lifted; however, I wanted to be sure I was prepared (I am vaccinated; my friend is not). Not to mention, I work in an academic/healthcare setting where masks & vaccination status are a daily consideration, so it's something still on my mind. Therefore, I sent Hamburger Mary's a very quick question via Facebook. Attached is a photo of the response I received. My question was in no way impolite, so I'm not sure why the business felt the need to say anything other than no. I'm not easily offended, but I also don't appreciate being spoken to in such a snarky manner for what I considered a perfectly reasonable & respectful question. I was really looking forward to visiting (and donating to a worthy cause!), but I have decided to celebrate my birthday elsewhere.”
“Lovely spot. Cozy and charming atmosphere, creative, delicious dishes and brilliant cocktail selection. I look forward to coming back on my next adventure to KCMO”
“Cosy bar and pizzeria. Pizza bases are deep pan (not thin crust) so don't be greedy and go a size smaller than you might normally. Really friendly staff. Ple ty of sport on TV. I'd recommend either the carne pizza (meat feast) or an Aloha (ham and pineapple).”
“My Daughter and I had a day trip to KC today, we came down to The City Market, we wanted to try something different. This place was Delicious! My taste buds danced in my mouth!! We will be going back!! Bert, Thanks so much for the experience!!!”

We celebrated my husband birthday there and had an absolutely wonderful night, from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service! Our server Sam made our evening! He was attentive and enjoyable! We can’t wait to go back! Try it you won’t be disappointed!!”

“This store is always prepped and ready to deliver on timely food and service. Food comes out quickly for a buffet and they keep the whole serving area neat and attractive. Bonus is that they keep tea servers full and silverware in stock during rushes. Best Pizza Ranch of all I have been to.”
“I'm impressed with the flavor of the food. They do have a problem substituting neck bones for oxtail. I hope they know that they not only look different but taste different. I do recommend the food. I like getting what I pay for. Ask me if I am willing to accept a substitute. Don't treat me like I'm stupid. My taste buds are very delicate and have discerned various taste across this country.”
“I went recently for some food and drinks and had some of the best service I've had anywhere! Halie was our server and she was extremely kind, informative and energetic. Very helpful with the food options and overall just made the experience great and unforgetable! Can't wait to come back and hopefully get her as my waitress again”
“Baba's pantry is a wonderful restaurant. The staff is so kind, the two ladies helping me at the front were welcoming. They offered me cute stickers to put on my water bottle, and I tried their sesame cookie. I ordered the falafel sandwich (highly recommend). All in a all, a lovely place, and I will definitely be back sometime!”
“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!”

A huge shoutout to Brad, who truly made our visit memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and expert bartending skills impressed us all.

Upscale all around. Rebecca was a nice attentive waitress. Great seafood.”

My papdi chaat was perfection, mango lassi was refreshing, chicken shawarma wrap with fries & garlic sauce was delicious! My 13 yr. old son thoroughly enjoyed his butter chicken with naan!

“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)”
