“ACRE is amazing! The atmosphere is perfect, and the food is exceptional—easily the best in Kansas City. Highly recommend it, 10/10!“

“Awesome food and service. Al, Tim and the staff will take care of you. Highly recommend.“

“Food was delicious. Price was more than reasonable. Thank you letting us celebrate our Vikings cheerleaders after their showcase. It was my first time at Johnny’s and our family will be back!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Tacos we're very good, they were street size. Service from Ashlyn was top notch. We also other the trash can nachos. If you're have ever seen them on Guys show, they are HUGE.. Here they are small and really made for just one person. They are not made to share.“

“It had been a while since we ventured into downtown KCMO, and we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall, the food was good, though not quite at the level we expected for the price. One clear takeaway: avoid the fried items. We wish we had read the negative reviews beforehand, because the wings were unfortunately the worst we’ve ever had overly oily and lacking flavor. As a big wings fan, the execution was especially frustrating: the batter wasn’t right, the texture was greasy, and the seasoning simply missed the mark. The shrimp toasts were also disappointing—very soggy bread to the point that I felt it wasn't cooked in the middle.

That said, the “Japanese‑style” dishes featuring raw fish were much better. The sushi taco was a standout, and my friends really enjoyed the bone marrow beef tartare. For the main course, the scallop pasta had great potential, but the salt was heavy—particularly on the scallops and toward the bottom of the bowl, even after mixing.

On a positive note, the drinks, desserts and service were excellent, easily deserving five stars.“

“The food experience. If you have not been to an authentic BBQ in Kansas before, this needs to be on your list“

“The food was absolutely amazing and we loved our waitress. I had the crab cakes, mushroom gnocchi, and carrot cake which were all fantastic! The only downside was that the portions were pretty small so even after my husband and I both got an appetizer, entree, and dessert we were still a bit hungry.“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Went to a show at The Garage. Not a bad seat in the house, clean bathrooms, easy access to the bar, and CHEAP DRINKS! Got a shot of Jack and a Hamms for $7...AT A SHOW! Love love love this venue! Thanks again Chris for the hospitality. Beau Nasty's In The Pit Radio Show 💪🫠🤘“

“Fish and chips were amazing!“

“Loved this place. This restaurant randomly popped up on my Google recommendations, and I do not regret giving it a try. The hamburger tasted homemade. The waffle fries and fried pickles were fresh and crisp. I had a great time driving around and seeing the lake. Stopping to eat and watching the geese. Maybe not everyone needs to know about this place, because the charm might be ruined.“

“I wish I could say that I had been able to go here. I bought my tickets and then realized that we could not make it on that night. Yes...I get it. You don't generally get a refund or exchange for a show. But. I tried for an entire week just to get a reply to my emails and voicemails that I left. I even called the front desk of the hotel who said that they would pass along g my request to reschedule. Don't get me wrong...I get that they may not be able to do that.. but a simpme reply of maybe.. sorry. Or..thank you for your interest. But absolute silence. I hope the show was good. I hear nice things about it“

“Great food and service! You definitely need to try the stuffed French toast.“

“I'm not so sure about the Westport location after witnessing an employee kind of heavy set with dreads died at the tips snorting cocaine in the back by the dumpsters and selling drugs he had to be the cook and I just do not want any fairy dust on my waffles or my chicken I rather go braid water or bite the curb that is not what I expected to see when pulling up and I definitely don't want to spend my money with an establishment that knowingly hires drug addicts“

“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻“

Thank You, Granite City!!! 😁😁“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“Great food, had a great experience.“

“Jim and the team there care, a rare commodity in this day and age. A friend of mine accidentally left behind his son’s teddy bear, 6 waitresses and Jim studied the picture and took down our numbers. Jim was in the back, one of the waitresses (wish I knew her name) said to hold on that Jim would want to be involved. Think about that, a waitress willingly involving a manager, and the manager CARED. 10/10 would recommend, good food, better people. I wish this business nothing but the best. 🙏“

“I love kitties hamburgers, and have highly reviewed them in the past. I was really looking forward to today to one this Friday afternoon and I have memorized their hours.
Behold, they’re closed until the end of February. Was a very small faded cardboard sign on the door.
If they really cared about their customers, they’d have a big one that you could see from the street without having to park and walk um readable one .
And they would at least update their website.
Guess I’ll have to go to Shake shack this afternoon.“

“super awesome place. great food and super nice people. we will definitely return and will always recommend it to anyone.“

“Fun place for a family to enjoy all the activities they offer“

“We were at the ferris wheel and needed to have dinner after we went miniature golfing and riding the wheel. So I typed in restaurants with good reviews and this one came up. Super cute vibe and I loved the atmosphere And decorations! Loved their drinks and enjoyed the food. Portions are a bit small but that's something I think is probably normal- we're just used a large portion sizes in America. Not that that's a good or a bad thing. The only negative thing I would say is that the tables were a bit small. And despite saying anything negative, I really did enjoy our experience. I'm also a big fan of old buildings and this one is pretty cool. I would go again and I would recommend!“

“Local Kansas Citian....stayed this weekend with my husband and had an AMAZING time! The room was spacious and clean! Bed was super comfy, and it was actually very quiet! We could see the city life below from our corner room, but most of the noise was completely blocked out! The hotel bar and the terrace bar were both amazing! And breakfast at the hotel was to die for! We will definitely be staying again!“

“I loved all the art and cool decor. I ordered a turkey and ham sandwich ( the wide or something) with fries and a drink. I will be coming back again to try out the breakfast.“

“Great little bar tucked away in Platte Woods. One of the last to allow smoking! The food is amazing, and very large portions. The drinks are great and they have a wide variety to choose from! Open 7 days a week with specials every day! The atmosphere is like a "Cheers" bar, go check them out!“

“Our 4 night stay at Indigo was simplified and greatly enhanced by the amazing food and great service at Dott Boss. Excellent bar as well. The Cinderblock cherry cider is best in the nation.“

“Hannah was our server and she was wonderful, full of energy and very menu friendly ( helpful), food was fast and fresh. Hannah made our day with her service ( very rare these days) !!!!!! Good job hannah & the rest of the staff keep up the great work !“

“Great atmosphere and great service. You will not be disappointed in the food or their fantastic drinks. We moved to KC over 2 years ago and our neighbors brought us to Tom's Town for a drink, and this now is one of our favorite places to go.“

“We said goodbye to Dewy 15-Year-old lab mix. They made him a wonderful Pup Cup. He enjoyed every bite. @Culver's (Kansas City, KS ) Thank you for making his last night special.“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“
