“We had Garozzo’s cater our rehearsal dinner at Boulevard Brewing. From the very beginning they were extremely helpful getting the entire dinner together. They held a tasting at their restaurant downtown, where we were able to sample a lot of their different courses on their catering menu. This was a great way to find exactly what we wanted for our rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic and they were constantly in touch with us through the entire process. They kept us up to date through the event. We highly recommend Garozzo’s to anyone needing any event catered.”

“Cascone's catered a recent wedding here at The Hilltop and we were so thoroughly impressed with their service. Dinner ran about 30 minutes early and within seconds they were ready. Communication was wonderful. They did a great job at cleaning up after themselves and the food was WONDERFUL. We hope to make it out their way for dinner soon!”

“Our continued favorite for a nice date night, or just a desire to get a great fresh cooked meal in an upscale environment. For years, Season's 52 in Altamonte has been consistently great in both quality of food and service. Good wine list. And, we love the fall menu with all the mushrooms, particularly the mushroom flatbread!”

“Many years ago, my wife and I had a membership to this place, and it was always good times. We stopped because we became parents and live a little ways away. We came in today, with our 2.5 y/o tot, and it's still so good. They hooked my daughter up with a Capri Sun and popcorn, so super kid friendly!
My wife loves sours, and when on tap, the Trampled Rose was her fave, Today she really enjoyed the Unsolicited Dill Pics. I generally enjoy IPA's, but today I broke away from Tesselation, and tried Liquid Grit (which tasted like Fall in a glass) and the Drewid Rituals (Red Ale).
Do yourself a solid and just come here if you like brewskies. A staple in the Crossroads for sure!”

“My paycheck will be in jeopardy with this place! I finally was able to stop in this morning right when they opened and it was SO WORTH IT. They have a lot of different things (I got a bag of granola before I even made it to the pastry cases), and everything looked amazing. It was a hard choice of what to get for breakfast as I am pretty sure I would have bought half the entire case to try. I got a Turkey Sausage Gravy croissant because 1, gravy and 2, what genius thought to make it into a -croissant-! I had to try it, and also got a fresh fruit croissant after the lovely person who helped me out asked the bakers to make sure there wasn’t any cherry in it (allergic!). It was what I would expect to pay for amazing bakery treats and it was so so so good. All of it! I’ll probably be on their doorstep again in the morning for round two!!”

“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”

“Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Whataburger. If you know me, you know I LOVE WHATABURGER, WYNONNA & BABY JESUS! Being someone from the great state of Texas who appreciates good food and great service, I can confidently say that Whataburger's locations across Texas are consistently impressive. However, there is one specific Whataburger, #813 on 15329 Wallisville Rd, that holds a special place in my heart: the one on Wallisville Road. Now, it's not just because of the food that I love this particular Whataburger. It's the three amazing ladies who work there in the morning: Ms. Vera, Ms. Jean, and Ms. Judy. These ladies are an absolute powerhouse, and they make my experience at Whataburger truly exceptional. Every morning, I visit this Whataburger for breakfast, and I must admit that I look forward to seeing these three wonderful individuals more than I do for my biscuits and gravy. From the moment I walk in, they greet me with warm smiles and make me feel like I am the most important person in the world. They treat me not just as a customer but as a friend. One thing that sets these ladies apart is their genuine friendliness and courtesy. They go above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels welcomed and valued. Miss Vera, in particular, gives the best hugs that instantly brighten up my day. Their level of service is truly top-notch, and they deserve to be treated like queens. While the food at Whataburger #813 on Wallisville Road is consistently delicious, it is the presence of these three remarkable ladies that truly makes this location stand out. Their dedication to providing exceptional service and creating a welcoming atmosphere is truly commendable. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend paying a visit to this Whataburger. Not only will you enjoy a tasty meal, but you will also be greeted by the three queens of Whataburger: Ms. Vera, Ms. Jean, and Ms. Judy. They are the heart and soul of this location, and they are the reason why I keep coming back.”

I love the amount of different sides that are available- everything from egg rolls to french fries to mozzarella sticks. Everyone can find something they like here!”

“We were here for a Saturday Brunch meeting. It was a good choice because it was not noisy and we could all hear. It was also a good choice because the service and food were both very good. This is a barbeque place but they had a large brunch menu with all the traditional and several unique items. They went above and beyond as well, handling special requests and our server was happy to check with the kitchen for specific items, such as allergens. I am looking forward to going back at lunch or dinner to try the barbeque. It looks really good.
Dietary restrictions: They have a separate gluten free menu and they are happy to handle special requests. They also have true gluten free beer!”

More than that. We have an allergy and when we go (which has been several times) the staff doesn’t come to tell you what you can’t have but instead the chef will take the challenge or modifying the dish just to accommodate said allergy! You want to know who else does that? Nobody!! And man oh man is he a tremendous chef!

I had lamb chops for main course…8 served in 4 pairs! Excellent rub that was charred exterior but medium rare inside. Their sides were all amazing…Brussels, creamed spinach, asparagus, lobster Mac & mashed potatoes. Oh yes and dessert - I had crème brûlée. Nobody around me complained about anything.
Can’t remember a very busy restaurant serving a group of 30 with perfection while the rest of the place was full too. Awesome! Only sad to forget the names of the waitstaff!”

We all have that favorite uncle who just makes us smile each time we see him That’s Pat at M&M Deli. Along side the ladies who work beside him, this is a visit that you want to make. I know this is a food review but the food just taste even better when there’s great service. Great service is exactly what you will get here. The sandwich, well, we got the Hook ‘em …..four of ‘em! They are really good good and very much worth the $9 price tag. There are a variety of other sandwiches available including build your own options at just really good prices….. There’s not any seating (tables) available but there’s plenty of room to talk and get to know Pat, the ladies behind the counter and other customers There’s also several fresh baked cookies and donuts with apple fritters that are REALLY GOOD! Sorry, didn’t get a fritter pic…..I ate it! A visit to M&M is really as much about meeting just some really good people as much as it’s about the sandwiches Highly recommended”

“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.”

“I got the pepper wings, suya beef meal and the okro seafood soup. I've never tried any of that before so it was an interesting experience. The wings were really good. Not super spicy, but they did have a little kick. The suya beef was also good . It came with Jollof and plantains. I also enjoyed that, but it was a little too spicy for me. Still really good though. Lastly, I had the okro soup with fufu. The soup was good, I was just really unfamiliar with how to it. It’s very viscous and kind of gooey. It had fish, a crab claw and shrimp. The fish had a lot of bones in it so be careful when eating that. And you also have to break apart the crab claw by hand. The soup is very time-consuming to eat so I probably won’t get it again. Still delicious, but it was just not my cup of tea. The woman who served me was extremely nice and welcoming. The couch I sat on was very comfortable and the music was so good! The vibes are a 10. I'd definer go back again, but in the future, I’d probably ask any of the dishes can be made slightly milder.
Parking: There's a small parking lot in the back. Very limited spaces”

I wouldn't recommend it.
The hibiscus cocktail was tasty and the added floral garnish was a plus. Customer service was friendly and personable.”

“Cheval Bar in Kansas City is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy exceptional cocktails in a uniquely charming atmosphere. Katie, the talented mixologist, crafts the most delicious and delightful drinks. Her skinny margaritas and French 75s are the best I've ever had—perfectly balanced and full of flavor.
The atmosphere at Cheval is quirky and entertaining, making every visit a new adventure. The décor is eclectic and full of personality, adding to the overall experience.
One of the standout features is the bathroom, which is a destination in itself. With its stunning chandelier, it's a surprisingly elegant touch that perfectly complements the bar’s distinctive vibe.
Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a fun place to unwind, Cheval Bar is sure to impress. The combination of expertly crafted drinks and a captivating atmosphere makes it a standout.”
Barbecue • $$
“Not your typical KC bbq. Chef J's brings a little variety to the KC scene and offers some outstanding, unique flavors you just can't miss. The sauces are on the thinner side than what you might be used to around here, but they add crazy dimension to the bbq. If you can get the burnt ends, I highly recommend them.”

“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.”

“Enjoyed a dinner for 30 people here in a private room. Everything was set up perfectly when we arrived and the serving staff were all professionals. We shared various appetizers - shrimp, crab cakes & more. Salads were great with fresh ingredients.
I had lamb chops for main course…8 served in 4 pairs! Excellent rub that was charred exterior but medium rare inside. Their sides were all amazing…Brussels, creamed spinach, asparagus, lobster Mac & mashed potatoes. Oh yes and dessert - I had crème brûlée. Nobody around me complained about anything.
Can’t remember a very busy restaurant serving a group of 30 with perfection while the rest of the place was full too. Awesome! Only sad to forget the names of the waitstaff!”

“NYE Dinner here was fantastic! First time here and we'll definitely return.
The staff was friendly and attentive. A nice atmosphere with some background music to enjoy with your meal. Not too loud so you can still have a conversation.
The food was top notch. We opted for the elote tater tots, deviled eggs, and pickles for our appetizers. All were fantastic, especially the elote tots.
For the main course two of us had the nightly steak special, which included a lobster butter topping (which could've been melted a bit more over the steak) that was flavorful and accompanied the steak well. The asparagus, spinach, and mashed potatoes were a great pairing. The third person had the veggie burger which was great and came with some perfectly crisp fries.
For dessert we had the chocolate tort with fresh fruit. Great way to round out the meal.”

“This was my first time El Centro from the moment I walked in. I really loved the vibe. It’s a small place and every seat is probably always filled. They’ve got an amazing bar, which looks like at sometimes you may even need a reservation to sit at the bar, but I would recommend this place for a fancy evening with your significant other or a date night with friends. The food is phenomenal and if you’re lucky you’ll get Jay Ensor he is phenomenal and always there to serve. You have any special request. He’s got your back. I will definitely be back just to see Jay again.”

“Went in for a birthday dinner on a Wednesday night with a reservation for 2. Arrived at 730pm and was seated immediately. Staff were very friendly. Asked for recommendations on a small menu and was happy with their suggestions. We ordered the broccoli, gyoza, ravioli, swordfish, & lamb. Wanted the focaccia but they had run out.
The wine list was good and reasonably priced for a small plates / finer dining restaurant.
The plates were well paced, allowing us to enjoy each plate on its own. The tables are also very small so anymore than one plate at a time would be a struggle. Portion sizes were actually quite good, and with 5 plates for 2 people it was perfect.
The swordfish was the best dish, honestly the most flavorful thick steak cut, with a delicious sauce and gnocchi accompanying. Could have just had a plate of that each with some sides it was that good!
Was $250 for 2 people with a bottle of wine. Well worth it. Would recommend.”

Hamburger • $$
“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.”

I recommend the mozzarella and bone marrow! The steak wasn’t very good and definitely wasn’t worth $80, so stay away from that.

“I like to think that I frequent Jasper's 3 to 4 times a year, The last two times I have been there have simply been two of the best dining events in recent memory. You see not only am I a professional Chef, I am also a Culinary Instructor. I brought my Godson who just returned after a 2 year navel tour in Naples Italy, not only was he impressed with the food, but also with Lenard and Jasper actually working the diningroom, I was quite impressed as well. Both times I ordered the same thing, The Capelli Dangelo alla Nannie, (I apoligize if I misspelled the entree). Needless to say the dish and the story that goes with it are amazing. However the story does not end there, I was in today to order lunch from Marco Polos, as I pulled up I saw Jasper outside sanitizing the door handles to the restaurant, and then inside working the dinning room, Kudos to you sir for excellant food, service and being a prime example of how to flourish in this post pandemic world. As a good friend of mine once said: Good Food, Good Love, Good Life, Quality provides them all. I wish you nothing but success.”

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 cocktails are top-notch, offering a delightful twist on classics and new creations that are perfectly balanced. The ambiance is vibrant and fun, making you feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Our server, Cheyenne, made the experience even better with her warm and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot-on. The small bites are fresh and flavorful, from the tasty tacos to the delicious guacamole. Senorita Margarita is a must-visit for anyone looking for great drinks, bites, and a unique vibe. Don't miss it!”

“Interesting concept. I really enjoyed the smaller portions per plate so we could try various rolls. Seeing them scroll along made it interesting. Service was friendly. I expected it to be a little more “fancy” inside but I was glad it wasn’t. Laid back environment. Only negative was the lack of alcohol options. A couple beer choices and 1 wine shot (not a glass of wine). Fun place for a date or outing.”

“Great experience for family and friends! The staff was extremely welcoming to our group (6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 1-10) . We were nervous the kids may get bored but they LOVED shuffleboard and the fact that there were other options - connect 4, corn hole, and the arcade - the kids were in heaven.
The food takes bar food to the next level - our favorites were the hot pepperoni pizza, the Thai chili shrimp, and the buffalo Quesadilla.
We finally got to taste the Kelce's Garage Beer! It was very light and refreshing- sort of similar to a Coors light but better quality. The mocktails were also delicious - highly recommend the blueberry lemonade. It was so refreshing.
Lastly the staff made our visit! Kennedy was amazing behind the bar and Spencer was outstanding helping to get us set up with the shuffleboard, games, and always making sure we had yummy food and drinks.
I can't wait to see what else they bring to the bar as you can tell everyone is invested and they are adding new features all the time - fire pit, outside lanes, more TVs and I was told darts are coming soon! Love this spot.”
