“I used to work for stables. And I am proud to say that. Manager, Linda Clark, and manager Morgan Ward are one of the best managers you’ll find. Unfortunately I quit due to me going to college. If I wasn’t going to college, you bet I would stay there. I believe that there’s not many restaurants like stables anymore. Everybody is just kind of jerks. However, a lot of the time working there put a smile on my face. I was a dishwasher. However, there were times where I could help out everybody. There were times where the servers were so packed up that they couldn’t bust their own tables. Not their fault at all. Each and every one of those servers are amazing. And it’s not a big deal to help them anyway. I won hundred percent. I’m going to continue to eat there. And you guys should too. Thank you Linda and thank you Morgan hope to see and hear from you guys soon. Love you all.“

“It's a dive bar in a small town. The bartender makes the bar, and Sam is the best. We come in twice a month and she remembers what I order, and it's always perfect. Highlights from the menu are the BLT, fries, and the Philly. Wednesday is the Wing special. If you're looking for small town atmosphere and decent bar food, this is the place for you.“

“We were passing thru and staying at Best Western Premier. The desk clerk recommended Conrad’s! We went there and so glad we did! Claire was our waitress and she was amazing! Hubby has allergies and she went back twice to make sure he was ok!! We shared the Blue Chips appetizer…with a couple cold ones. OMG….they were soooo good! We had regular BBQ sauce instead of Buffalo. Amazing! And you get so much!! Definitely enough to share! Then we both ordered the grilled chicken wrap with ranch dressing. That also was so very good! I brought 1/2 of mine back to motel for breakfast in the morning. For a side I had steamed broccoli which was excellent. Hubby had the mixed vegetables. It is a casual but nice place!! Claire was awesome and so was the food!“

“I’ve been here twice now and the food both times has been truly phenomenal! I’m so impressed! The steak was unbelievable! Every item I’ve had here was just perfect! I’m gluten free and they have many options that are clearly marked on their menu which is so considerate and helpful. I just left and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Unassuming little diner, not a huge menu but man was the food good, and I have it on good authority that the pie is next level! Service was great and they have stuff set up to support the local community, so if you are passing by stop in and get a tasty meal and support Betty!“

“Andrew was our waiter! He was exceptional. Ask for his table. He does not disappoint.“

“Shout out to the Culver’s employee who made my beautiful strawberry fields salad this evening! It was PERFECTION!! Not only was the salad beautiful, but everything was Super Fresh! The lettuce was so very fresh & crisp; the strawberries were perfectly ripe, juicy, & freshly sliced; the grilled chicken was a generous portion & still warm, but not so hot as to wilt the lettuce. The pecans & blue cheese chunks weren’t soggy. Perfection! 😁Thanks so much!“

“Great Food and service. Would come here again.“

“My wife and I enjoy eating there every time we travel to Liberty. Food is unique and very tasty and filling. A great value. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is comfy. Thangs everyone. 👍“

“The new onion petals are delish. They cook the nice and crispy. We had the pot roast bowl and it never disappoints. Service was great. Prices are getting a little much but for the most part it was worth it.“

“Delicious sandwiches and know how to make clients happy.“

“I love this hotel & the gorgeous spa. Lap pool is memorable. I've been coming here since I was a child for weeks long vacations. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food, Excellent service @ Liberty, Mo. The Big Biscuit is my favorite place! Thank You!“

“great food. great service“

“I live in Lees Summit, but was staying with a friend at an Airbnb when she came to visit. When I googled breakfast places near the Airbnb, this was the first one that popped up so we went with it.
It’s a cute little hole in the wall diner, which is always a good sign. You order at the counter and the menu was pretty extensive, especially for a small place. We both got the traditional platters and my wife ordered the biscuits and gravy because there was a Google review that they were a must order! I didn’t get a picture of any of it because we were too hungry but still wanted to review.
My eggs (over medium) were perfect.
My friend’s eggs (sunny side up) were also perfect.
She ordered hashbrowns which looked super crispy.
I ordered the breakfast potatoes which were seasoned perfectly!
Bacon was great. Toast was great.
My wife’s biscuits and gravy were perfect. The gravy is brown-ish, not white, so that’s how you know it’s going to be good. It was also seasoned perfectly and there was the perfect amount of meat mixed in.
All in all, I would definitely make the trip back here to try other things on the menu and would recommend checking it out!“

“I love the Liberty Longhorn location! Although my burger was overcooked my last 2 visits, I will continue to patronize them. The Manager, Alicia, is always kind, friendly, and about business! What isn't right, she makes right... with a smile while doing so! Shout out to this great team!!“

“Still the best burger and tenderloin in KC much less Liberty! Gloria and I had lunch with our Madi today. Best hamburger I’ve ever had. We say that every time.“

“Top notch food and service!!!! Definitely recommend it.“

“Waitstaff was friendly and eager to serve. Attentive to our drinking needs. Popcorn provided while you wait for your food. The food was quick to come out and hot on arrival. Would definitely recommend the lava cake for the chocolate lovers.“

“Delicious. Delivered fast, hot and was so good.“

“It was Easter Sunday just before noon. Our group was 13 adults and 2 children. Our server Lane was AMAZING. So pleasant, friendly, was always checking on us making sure we had everything we needed. Not one glass ran empty and was on top of the refills. All our food was delicious. With our large group on an Easter Sunday we could not ask for someone as professional as Lane. Great job Lane!!!!“

“Had a great experience!!!“

“Great food and fantastic service. Ben is very attentive, pleasant and considerate. Great experience with all servers and cooks, but would request Ben as a server every time! Has become my weekend breakfast place at least one day, if not both!“

“Most of the Hibachi/Chinese buffets I the KC metro are very good. Both KC Joy Woks are exceptional“

“My husband and I visited Saltgrass tonight, anticipating the normal fantastic food and service. As always, our food was excellent, and our server was phenomenal, however an unpleasant scene we witnessed really left a sour taste in our mouth for the evening. As we were dining we witnessed the General Manager, Vernon Blazek begin yelling at a young lady right in the main dining area. He concluded the scene when he yelled “Go home. Bye!” As a Human Resources professional, I can say that had one of my managers treated a subordinate in that manner, especially in front of our customers, that would have been the first and last time that occurred. When my husband addressed the issue with the manager, he was incredibly rude and dismissive of our concerns, ending our conversation by rolling his eyes, stating “Sorry I ruined your dining experience” and walking off. To say we are incredibly disappointed in tonight’s experience would be an understatement.“

“Rudy the first Friday of the month is awesome. I love his singing show.“

“Our first time eating there tonight! The waitress was great, and the food was phenomenal! The only thing I have to say that wasn’t great, was the bartender opened the “garage” door to the patio, which no one was outside, because it was 96 degrees! It started getting hot, and the flies were coming in at a fast rate! After about 45 minutes, they closed it, thankfully! The rest of the evening was great, with the exception of some fly friends! 🤣😂I would definitely go back and I would recommend it for sure!“

“Food was great! Got to try the honey chipotle chicken strips with fries AND Mac n cheese!!“
