“Our group of 14 had lunch today and it was excellent. Our server Donna is fantastic! Amazingly she is the only server working there but still managed to keep our water and tea glasses topped off. This woman is a dynamo! We knew that with a group as large as ours it would be a bit of a wait but the food was worth waiting for!“

“Everyone is so friendly and the food comes out super fresh and delicious everytime I am in!“

“6 college friends from the 60s had a nice lunch at this tea room. Our waitress Keara (sp), was excellent, and so were the desserts she offered us. Keara looked lovely in her strawberry dress!“

“It's at the top of my list. As a Dasher there's never been a more efficient burger joint. And if you have to wait, they offer you total courtesy. Plus their mushroom and Swiss is to die for. I can't say anything negative about the place.“

“We had such a great experience at the LS Pegah’s tonight. Our kids were tired from homecoming festivities and whiny, making them harder to maintain. Our waitress and the entire staff were nothing but amazing to us coming over talking to the kids and making sure we had everything we needed. There was a slight mishap with our one of our dishes and our server (Emma I think) felt so bad and went above and beyond to make it right. We will definitely be back- our food was amazing!!“

“Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving today...It worked out perfect for our family today of (4) The food was amazing and our sever Ashley was fantastic“

“Walked into Cooper’s Hawk for the first time not really knowing what to expect, and I’m glad I did. I love sweet wines, so finding something that actually matches my taste can be hit or miss, but the Spritzy Sangria Strawberry Rhubarb was incredible. Sweet, refreshing, lightly sparkling, and just easy to enjoy from the first sip.

Big shoutout to Alec B. for being awesome. He took the time to let me do a wine tasting, listened to what I liked, and pointed me toward the perfect bottle. Super cool guy, very knowledgeable, and made the whole experience welcoming and fun instead of overwhelming.

If you’re into sweeter wines and aren’t sure what to try, this is definitely worth checking out. Thanks again, Alec—I found a new favorite! 🍷“

“What a perfect Valentine's Day meal❣️ Our waitress was wonderful, the bar made the perfect drinks, and the manager Victoria Karr stopped by our table to check on how we were. There is no other place I'd rather eat, on any day, than at Houlian's, more specifically in Lee's Summit! Thank you for making the perfect night happen.🙂“

“Guy working the register was very kind and helpful. Took the order to go and the chicken was extremely delicious and portions were good. Great little halal spot in Lee's Summit! The nature of a hot chicken sandwich means it will be more delicious if eaten there or quickly but it was good even though we weren't able to eat it right away“

“Always worth the stop. Stop.“

“100 percent recommend Wally’s. Peyton usually takes care of us when we sit at the bar. This time we got a table and Cooper took care of us. They are both very personable and provide fantastic service. Thank you both!!“

“Independent Living - wonderful place to live“

“It was a very busy morning and we put our name in and got lost in the que. Emma noticed we were waiting and got us right in. Emma made our experience a positive one by noticing us and getting us right in and provided us with excellent service.“

“Went through the drive thru to grab the cement mixer flavor of the day. Oreo cheesecake!! The double line was long so I thought I was in for a wait. I was up to the speaker in no time to place my order. The young man was super friendly and efficient. I was off with my favorite treat in no time. Super great experience.“

“I ordered decorated cookies for a birthday celebration. The birthday girl loves quilting and flowers. They made half with each. The finished product was beautiful! And they were fresh and very tasty!“

“Always spot on! Best fresh, crispy hash-browns and country fried steak. Consistent great food and service! Been going for 25+ years. The complimentary cinnamon roll is old school cafeteria style that you can order to go by the dozen. There’s a reason this place remains the staple in downtown LS! Enjoy!“

“I've eaten there repeatedly in the past few months and I've had nothing but excellent service and top notch food. It's one of the best deals in Les Summit“

“awesome food and drinks!“

“We struggled with the menu at first but we got there and found something delicious! Highly recommend asking the waitress what they like to eat. WE LOVED KATE H!!! My fellow gin girly 🫶🏼 you were such a peach! Thank you for your service and accommodations - it was our first time here.“

“I've only been a few times, but the food is great. It's a friendly place too.“

“Everything tasted pretty good. Onion rings were nice and crispy and hot, the bones were good. The Rueben I ordered with sweet potatoe fries but got regular fries. Did not make a stink about it. Both tasted good. The Reuben was a little light on meat and sauerkraut for $16.“

“Bricks is one of the best eating and drinking establishments in downtown Lee’s Summit! The food is high quality, always fresh and they have an amazing infused cocktail menu. No bad days at Bricks!“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Service was fast and friendly. Fried mushrooms were so good, as was the marinara sauce that came with the mozzerella sticks. I would buy a jar of that in a heartbeat! We will definitely be back.“

“Everything is wonderful! Food was good. The atmosphere was good and my waitress was pleasurable to be around! She was kind efficient and seemed to care. The only downside of my visit was the Hostess later, menus down upside down And was not either trained or maybe she didn’t care about her job but menus and silverware Should be placed on the table facing the Customer. OK I will stop being a Karen, but I do love this place and look forward to coming back.“

“Amazing food!!! Like the best I’ve had this weekend food!!! We will be back in a heartbeat.“

“Favorite local Grill and Bar!!!“

“Great place took our son in for birthday drinks and dinner great server , very friendly guy“

Our food came out within a timly manner and was absolutely delicious! We could not have asked for better service. Thank you for a great experience Lee's Summit Red Lobster!!“

She made the atmosphere, pleasant and for all her attributes; I say thanks so much. Please if you go to Chili’s in Lee’s Summit ask for Jasmine (you will not be disappointed👍🏼. Thanks Jasmine again for my outstanding customer experience on today.

“The serve was great even though they where extremely busy for Christmas morning!!!“

“This location was going downhill in recent years months and service at best was slow and mediocre. However recently there is a new ,what I believe to be as a manager and service is amazing WHEN SHE IS THERE, and food is fresh and fast,again when she is there
There is a different attitude and atmosphere in this store since Amber was added as well as the store looking and smelling cleaner
Great choice Captain D’s in bringing her on board. Myself and my family have been repeat customers since she has arrived and we even ask when she will be there. Previously when there was an issue the other managers were rude as if we bothered them. She smiles ALL THE TIME! wish more were like her“
