50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Kansas City

“Great birthday celebration at Eddie Vs. The table was decorated when we arrived which was not expected. The high point was our server Tiffany. Can’t say enough about her service and attitude. She addressed everyone as “sir” or “madam” and even the kid as “young man” which he loved. Made suggestions to enhance the kids’ enjoyment of a special night out. Tiffany is a pro at what she does and incorporates a perfect combo of formality and fun. Thank you Tiffany for making our evening so nice“

“Best Seafood boils in KC!!!“

“we had Reservations, the table was running a little late. The manager was extremely accommodating. He insisted to compensate us in someway for the delay we said no, but he was persistent and offered us a free appetizer. That’s great service and will always be a loyal customer.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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..“

“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.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I messed up my cocktail order and my waiter fixed it for me quickly. Their ribeyes are divine. My husband also enjoyed their oysters. We skipped dessert, but the options looked tasty! It’s a little cool so I’d recommend a sweater if you’re a woman or a blazer/sweater if you’re a male to stay warm. It’s very cozy. We’ll be back!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Fire with great customer service“

“Absolutely great lunch today at The Capital Grille. The bread service is delicious, and the crab cakes and fried calamari (A++) were outstanding. I had the steak sandwich. This was not a typical sliced steak sandwich, there was literally a perfectly cut and cooked steak in the center. Amazing.“

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

“Very cool dining and cocktails are superb!“

“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 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!!!“

“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!!“

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

“Great food and service. A“

“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!“

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

“Veganized KC burrito is yum! Love their chips and guac. 🌯🫰🥑 Has 'beyond beef' crumbles, but no longer seeing the 'vegan bowl' or 'jackfruit tacos'.😢 has 'mushroom tacos' that appear vegan. Wish vegan choices were labeled clearly on online menu and wish they had a few more vegan options, but has always been good. Have received very friendly service. Updated from previous review on 2026-10-05“

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

“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.“

“I got the sweet octopus, and the fajitas amazing, I genuinely love this place so much not only does it taste amazing but it leaves you full after the waiters are really nice too, the food had lots of flavor, atmosphere was amazing just like any other family restrant. 😋“

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

“The wild Boar and limoncello cake were amazing!“

“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.“

“We've been coming here for over 60 years, even with the interruptions and changes. The ribeye was cooked to medium rare perfection, the asparagus was delicious as was the loaded baked potato. The bread was also very well made. All that was missing were the stockyards and the cattle lowing across the lot out back.“

“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“

“👌👌👌👌🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“OMG my First Time here & it was 🔥🔥!“

“Tried the Dum Biryani, Chilli Chicken, and Vijayawada Noodles, and everything was really good! 😋 The flavors were delicious, portions were satisfying, and each dish had its own unique taste. Definitely enjoyed the food and would recommend giving this place a try!“

“OML!!!The food! The ambiance! The service!Ask for Sara! She paces the meal according to our needs instead of turning the table. She is a wonderful delight.After we were seated, Chris came over and gave us a very detailed tour of the place.Btw...Please! Please! Get a better recipe for your asparagus!“
