50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Kansas City

“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.“

“Seasons 52 in Altamonte is a wonderful place to dine. I celebrate all my special occasions there. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. My friend and I celebrated our birthday and the waiter Jerome sang Happy Birthday to us. His voice was amazing. If you are celebrating a birthday always ask for him. I highly recommend Seasons 52 Altamonte, FL.“

“The best of the best in Kansas City totally recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Came back a second time! Absolutely loved my experience at Bristols in Creve Coeur! The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for any occasion. A huge shoutout to Brad, who truly made our visit memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and expert bartending skills impressed us all. The cocktails he crafted were not only beautifully presented but also delicious. Brad's knowledge of the menu and personalized recommendations elevated our evening. I can't wait to return and well-deservedly give him and the entire team a five-star rating for an outstanding dining experience! Awesome local restaurant, great atmosphere and service. Upscale all around. Rebecca was a nice attentive waitress. Great seafood.“

“What a perfect place for a weekend brunch! The food and drinks were great, and the service was exceptional, specifically Star and Tony. Five-star service!“

“My friend and I came in for happy hour and dinner, and we really enjoyed every single dish we had. I would even venture to say the food was outstanding. I thought service was a little timid and could have been more welcoming, especially as a first time guest. The restaurant is beautifully designed, and the decor is super cute, but some of the acoustics are a little strange: I noticed conversations happening across the room were carrying very loudly towards where we were sitting in the bar area. I also thought the music seemed way too loud at certain times. I would definitely go back for the food alone, and I’d like to come on a day when the patio is open where it might be a little quieter.“

“They have real good fish and other items. larg portions.“

“this place has some great seafood I'm never disappointed“

“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!“

“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!“

“Food was super fresh and delicious. We are on our way back again today. If they had coke products instead of Pepsi I'd be there more lol“

“Great food with great atmosphere“

“Amazing food, quick service, and friendly staff.“

“Customer service was excellent. Food was outstanding. Our waiter was Brennen, I can't say enough of how accommodating he was. If I ever can choose my waiter or waitress, Brennan is the man! Please get your meal here and enjoy, it is the best...👍👍“

“Very cool dining and cocktails are superb!“

“Fire with great customer service“

“Service was ok. We ordered 3 appetizers, the first one came out then it took about 20 minutes for the other 2. When we were done, we had to ask for our table to be cleared in between courses. When I asked for lemons, a busser told me “where is your server?” I was disappointed by that statement considering I'm a paying customer and didn't know where the server was and that's why I asked him.“

“Great food and service. A“

“My teen son and myself came into KC early for the Netherlands party/parade at KC Live. We needed a bite to eat we found this place. We were greeted with smiles and good morning from staff. Invited to find a seat. Service was prompt despite pre-orders going out the door and fresh bagels being restocked.
Staff was always smiling and so gracious. We had amazing bagles for breakfast while relaxing from out trip to Power and Light.
They provide a relaxing, clean, and friendly environment with great food. Restrooms were clean, stocked, and safe.
We will certainly recommend Meshuggah bagels to our friends.“

“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜“

“We had lunch on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at Lunas, the food was good, our server, Lily, was very helpful, friendly, very personal, made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Enjoyed our lunch! Thank you Lilly! Gary and Brenda“

“I went to Swifts this past Sunday , May 25 around 3 in the afternoon... I met with one of my dear friends and when I tell you, the atmosphere, the cocktails, the food and the service from Ms. Gina was all EXCEPTIONAL!!! Richard and Sheila Swift (The Owners ) were so nice and approachable, I will definetly be going back...very soon!!!“

“They came to my job today and I Had the chicken poboy and lemon pepper wings and fries. 10/10 best food truck I’ve eaten at in the Kansas City area so far i definitely recommend them and I can’t wait for them to come back!“

“Love the Chicken ala Mer here! Best in town and would always recommend coming to this location over the KCK one. Food and service exceeded our expectations! Nick was a wonderful server - very prompt and “on it” for all our needs!! We will be back!!“

“The food was delicious, but I really wanted to make a point to leave a review about our server. From the very beginning, Tayla was attentive and kind. She made sure to give great descriptions of the food, but the real icing on the cake was how much she went above and beyond. We brought in a cake from the bakery, and the host offered to keep it in the fridge for us. Tayla brought out the cake for us to take pictures and sing happy birthday, and then took it to the back to cut it. The cake was butterfly themed, and she cut out my mom's piece to look like a butterfly. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough, but highly recommend asking for Tayla.“

“I love this restaurant! However I’m not a huge fan of the people I came here with. I planned a fun lunch out with my friends and when I walked in (fashionably late, only about 45 minutes which is reasonable) and they had already finished eating and seemed like they were ready to go. Now I’m just feeling kinda awkward for no reason because I thought my friends would be more excited to hang out and stay for a long time here! Maybe the restaurant can implement a service where they match you with better friends haha! Anyway the food is so freaking good I would literally do anything for the surf n turf burrito I have that shit on replay almost every week. 100/10 stars I love you tiki taco“

“Lindsay and her famous pickle shots will keep us coming back every time. Best in Kansas City, if not the whole world.“

“The staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are delicious!“

“I want to El Maguey with my family for dinner, and overall we had a pleasant evening. The atmosphere is really great, It’s a modern yet traditional style. We got two taco kids meals and they were definitely over priced for what they were. The restaurant was really clean and we had great service. This restaurant is slightly pricey, but other than that I have no complaints.I think it’s worth checking out!“

“Excellent food and service … the only downside is how cold the air conditioning is which makes the food go very cold very quickly !!“

“My first time ever at Golden Ox. Steak was great and cooked as ordered. Sausage stuffed mushrooms were fantastic. Got a side of mashed potatoes, but received a hint to order as loaded because it’s not a menu item. Holy cow. The creamed spinach was alright, but I’d probably choose something else the next time I’m there. Overall, a great experience and birthday dinner.“

“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.“

“Ordered two separate meals. Food fresh cooked and omg.. I will be returning! 5*****“

“👌👌👌👌🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻good food recommendation“

“We stopped by here before seeing a show at The Music Hall. It was great because it was within walking distance and we could make a reservation. I have been to the Drum Room countless times and had no idea about the restaurant in the hotel! We decided to split the grilled peach salad, the fried goat cheese salad and a side of fries. These salads were so good! I feel like you don't often hear people rave about salads after visiting a restaurant but these were both great. I would totally order them again. Our waitress was super nice and even let us know right when we sat down that they were short staffed and that she was also helping with room service. I always appreciate when staff is up front about situations like that because it helps customers understand and manage expectations. Our drinks were rather strong and we both had a hard time finishing them, but overall we had a good experience!“

“We had lunch on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at Lunas, the food was good, our server, Lily, was very helpful, friendly, very personal, made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Enjoyed our lunch! Thank you Lilly! Gary and Brenda“

“One of the nicest self serve car washes I’ve been to. There’s places to hang your mats to spray them and all of the water soap brushes and everything are always in excellent condition. They keep it very clean. One time I accidentally left my mats hanging and came back a couple hours later and they were laying out in the front waiting for me. Very well run.“

“They are the best at Customer Service. They were kind enough to let me add onto a reservation when I was planning a birthday party. Great food and great service.“

“It might not catch your eye as you drive down Broadway, but what a gem this place is. The staff were incredibly friendly, restaurant was clean, and the food was piping hot when served to our large group. The seafood boil, catfish, and hush puppies were a huge hit. Recommend to anyone wanting to stretch and try something new.“

“The wild Boar and limoncello cake were amazing!“

“OMG my First Time here & it was 🔥🔥!“

“excellent food! Some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve had in this area. They have a different take on the pork fried rice. It’s not roast pork. They cook the pork differently, giving the rice a altogether improved flavor. I went basic with the chicken wings and they are to die for. This place is a hidden gem.“

“I love Charlie D’s Seafood & Chicken East. We loved the Soulfood Sunday Brunch Buffet, the food was fresh and hot. And the server brought you out fresh hot fish. Everything was good and the service was excellent. I give it 5 stars and we will be back. I told other family members and friends about it.“

“Had a great experience at Desi Dhaba! The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentically made. You can really tell they put effort into quality and consistency.

Overall, definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving good Indian food. Looking forward to coming back!“
