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.“

“This place hands down. has the best of the best and the freshest food. #1 in kcmo kata nori for me is a number 1 pick..“

“Best Seafood boils in KC!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Great food with great atmosphere“

“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“

“Pierpont Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, making it a great choice for a special night out.

Our server, Anna, was outstanding. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations throughout the evening. Her service elevated an already fantastic meal.

The cocktails were expertly crafted and a perfect way to start the evening. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered—tender, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. It’s clear that quality and attention to detail are priorities in the kitchen.

Just when we thought the meal couldn’t get any better, dessert exceeded expectations. Every bite was stellar and provided the perfect ending to an incredible dining experience.

Pierpont combines outstanding food, excellent drinks, and top-tier service into a memorable experience. Thanks to Anna and the entire staff for a wonderful evening. We will absolutely be back.“

“Very cool dining and cocktails are superb!“

“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!“

“Fire with great customer service“

“Great service. Very knowledgeable. Good bagels too.

All the cream cheeses are fresh and I can vouch for the garlic herb, Oreo cheesecake, and cinnamon sugar. For bagels, the chocolate chip, the cinnamon raisin, and the bialy, of course!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Great food and service. A“

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

“I was honestly going to take a picture of the food, but from the first bite, I couldn't put it down. My daughter and I had quesadilla, hers with shrimp and mine with carne asada.

So good! 10 out of 10 would recommend, and will be back again soon!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Food was great. I had the ribeye. I have had better but not by much. The meat was cooked perfect, very little seasoning if any, and very juicy. Stuffed mushrooms were fantastic. I also will say if you like coffee grab a cup because it was coffee shop quality and a pleasant surprise! I would easily come back to the golden ox.“

“This is by far the best Mexican food restaurant in south KC. Not a run of the mill TexMex location. Much more of a true Mexican food dining experience. They have a great menu with many options. Very nicely decorated. If you want an upscale Mexican food experience try it. Great margaritas too. Happy hour 2pm to 6pm. Free chips and salsa.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The wild Boar and limoncello cake were amazing!“

“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.“

“Went there for my daughter’s 30th birthday brought the fam including our 5 year old grandson so it was a total of 6 of us. Hadn’t been there before and didn’t know what to expect you have to seat yourself and get up to“

“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.“

“OMG my First Time here & it was 🔥🔥!“

“The food is usually very good and also the service I asked for light lemon pepper I don't know what was put on my fish but it was hot with pepper are some kind of hot spicy the guy that took my order appear to have a very bad attitude. The atmosphere was very clean I ordered a piece of cake and you could see through it prior to this I ordered a piece of cake and it was very nice piece for the price so I was not satisfied with the service at all“
