Letting the bartender know I’ve made it home safely from my pressed penny tour. While it was a dead Sunday evening, all working and the customers were friendly. Had a smash burger and was enjoyable.
While I had high hopes, the experience left me a bit disappointed.
The food was just okay. I ordered the patty melt, which was decent but nothing remarkable. The cheese fries were another letdown. They were basically just regular fries with a slice of melted cheese on top. No real effort or creativity here. The brussel sprouts were, unfortunately, burnt to a crisp—so much so that they were inedible. I couldn't even get through one bite.

I worked here. The owner moved me to a new apartment and gave me 100 dollars just because. I still wear my PPT shirt around town and have some pressed pennies. Great food. Great family owners. The most cozy hidden gem in Kansas City!
