And it always smells so good in there!it's very sad that they don't have as much help as they need, because there are wonderful wonderful restaurant and crew!

“At 6:30 in the morning on a weekday Linda F. cashier provides the customer service that anyone would want to receive in the morning on their way to work! I always look for the red hair to make sure she’s there. Kudos to Linda!“

“My husband and I dined here on Jan 17, 2026. Exceptional Tacos! We both got the fish and cheeseburger tacos. Both were yummy and fresh. Our favorite was the cheeseburger.
Our waiter went above and beyond! I wish I could remember his name to shout out some major kudos! 👏 👏 👏
Very clean dining room and restrooms.
Great atmosphere.
We plan to go back the next time we are in Kansaa City.“

“Great seafood!! We had oysters, hush puppies and gumbo. All of it was delicious. Of course, our wine was also delicious!🍷“

“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!!“

“Great customer service by the staff. Amazing food. I mean really really good. I had raw oysters, small Caesar, buttermilk fried chicken and a burger to go.“

“Amazing! We put off visiting this local spot down the street for too long. Finally made it over for my birthday and it was incredible. The rustic decor and intimate atmosphere were just an awesome compliment to the simple, grounded but deep meal. We talked about all the flavors we were still experiencing long after we cleared a plate. The coctails were top notch but were outshined by the curated sake flight. No notes, simply perfect, we will be back.
Edit: got home and checked our recipt and realized that we never got one of our appetizers. Unfortunate, but I can't bring myself to lower my rating from 5 stars it was that good!“

“Valentin‘s date dinner! We sat by the window and had such a lovely time. We have eaten here many times over the years and the food quality doesn't disappoint. Service was excellent. The only drawback was my blackened cod entrée was quite small (4 oz maybe, but uncertain),in a lovely pool of broth with some shaved fennel on the side. Quite a tiny portion for the price! Taste was light and flavorful, but it definitely needed something more. I ended up ordering a side dish just so I could feel like I had a “meal“ the server was excellent and the food timely. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and all. Perfect for date night!“

“Stunning space & fantastic food & staff. Must have a great local beef connection because it’s priced perfectly & very reasonably for the area“

“Incredible place in KC River market. Make it a go to every time you are downtown“

“All I can say is WOW! My husband & I went here for the first time last Friday and from the moment we stepped it we had the best dining experience we’ve ever had in the Kansas City area. Our server was Kortney and she was nothing short of AMAZING. She was attentive and made sure we were happy with our experience. Our drinks were always refilled at the halfway point, she checked on us at all of the perfect times and it was clear she was on top of it! She was friendly, attentive, & provided some seriously top-notch service. We ordered the crap dip to start and oh my goodness it was so delicious we were tempted to order another or. The dip was overflowing the bowl and everything was so FRESH. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon and he said it was literally melting in his mouth. I ordered the roots burger and was impressed that someone could take a cheeseburger & make it THAT GOOD. We will absolutely be back! From the atmosphere to the service to the food - EVERY single aspect exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend this place enough!“

“They have house made keto buns! The blue room burger was delicious as were the zucchini fries. My husband got the regular burger and said it was great as well. Everyone was friendly and the service was great!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Thanksgiving at Grand Street this year was an absolute home run.\n\nI booked a 3:30 Thanksgiving Day seating and went in expecting “good for a holiday buffet.” What I got was way closer to a full-on, white-tablecloth feast that just happened to be all-you-can-eat.\n\nThe buffet spread alone was insane: silky mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, roasted root veggies, rich gravy, Brussels sprouts, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, multiple salads, rolls, ham, roast turkey and a prime rib carving station. Nothing tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp—everything was hot, well-seasoned, and felt like someone actually cared when they made it.\n\nThe turkey was moist (which never happens on buffets), the prime rib was tender and juicy, and the classic sides were exactly what you want on Thanksgiving: comforting, not over-complicated, and executed really well. The roasted veggies and Brussels sprouts had great texture, not that sad mushy buffet vibe.\n\nDesserts were downright dangerous: pecan pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, assorted cookies, and these ridiculous chocolate ganache brownies. The pumpkin cheesecake and the brownies were worth the trip by themselves.\n\nService was just as strong as the food. Plates were cleared quickly, waters and sodas were constantly topped off, and the bartender was *on it*—adult beverages came out fast and made it to the table without us ever feeling like we were waiting around. For a busy holiday service, everything ran impressively smooth. No cold food, no undercooked anything, no “sorry, we’re out of that.” Just steady, generous refills and a staff that clearly had their act together.\n\nBottom line: Grand Street turned what could’ve been a chaotic holiday buffet into a legit, stress-free Thanksgiving experience. Plentiful food, killer execution, and sharp service. I’d happily take my family here as a Thanksgiving tradition—absolutely worth it.“

“Went here after my younger daughters cheer competition. They are a classic American style restaurant. Good variety on the menu, had something for everyone in our group. Great service and great food at a good price. I think this will be our go to after every competition from now on.“

“Great atmosphere. Beef Tartar was wonderful. Excellent selection of wines. 100% will impress a girl. Go forth men. Show them a good night.“

“Always have a good time , and the salted bun. Must get“

“Food and service is always great. If they do mess up, they always make it right with an abundance of free food, which totally makes up for it in my opinion. It's fast food, but they serve you at your table. It's a great place to go out to eat and have ice cream with the family without breaking the bank! Love it.“

“Date night and our table for 2 was barely big enough due to being so close to the next table that seated 6/7 and we were against a wall divider. No elbow room for one of us. Great food, drinks and service, would go back but request a different table.“

“unbelievably just out of this world“

“I had breakfast. Very good biscuits and gravy. I also had a Mimosa.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ordered Pizza and a Salad for the crew at work and it was amazing as always.“

“My favorite go to neighborhood bar. I’ve been going there since 1992.“

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

“Great food & great atmosphere! Definitely will be going back!“

“Great food, price and service! ❤“

“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“

“best food ever five stars or maybe 100“

“good food and service and nice atmosphere“

“Me and my granddaughter had a very nice time! Great food and cozy atmosphere !“

“Almost missed it but smelled something delicious as I was headed into the market next door. Stepped in and glad I did. Love is a throwback owner, taking care of guests and mixing it up in the kitchen.

Excited to try more of what is on the menu.“

“We were visiting KC and went to dinner here on a Saturday night without a reservation at about 5:30-6. We sat at the bar (by choice) and the bartenders were really friendly. They made an excellent old fashioned and a great whiskey sour. We ate bread, deviled eggs, and pork rinds for appetizers. The bread was fresh. The eggs were so flavorful and the pork rinds were perfectly seasoned and piping hot. We shared the half chicken and some Brussels sprouts and fries as sides. The chicken was juicy and with the house made hot sauce and gravy on top it was so good. I know I’ve said tons of good things already but hands down the best thing we ate was the mokan pie. Best pie ever!!!! We bought a trillion cookies and a cookbook to take home. We eat out ALOT and I fancy myself a bit of a home chef. This place was perfect if you are looking for a laid back spot with fresh chef made unpretentious food, bartenders that know their drinks, and amazing dessert! DO NOT SKIP DESSERT!!“

“Always worth the stop. Stop.“

“We dined here on Christmas Day. Amazing food and Crawford Auction Service“

“Every other fast food place is a dump compared to Culver's. Every food item I've ordered has been carefully prepared with quality ingredients. There are efficient, friendly people waiting to take your order, not kiosks. The restaurant is spotless and well organized, and your food is brought to your table. The big plus are the great desserts waiting for you when you're done with your food!“

“Highly recommend! I’ve watched the menu here for a while and planned a parent’s date night based on their fall menu offerings. The food, drinks and atmosphere were all great. Food takes a while to come out as it is prepared fresh. Very thoughtful cuisine and an eclectic blend of flavors married together seamlessly. Again, highly recommend, don’t let the concise menu dissuade you as it may be tiny but mighty.“
