“I would just like to say that the people that work at the Denny's in Raytown are some of the nicest, people I have met in a while! 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! And thank you for letting me and at closing for an emergency! LOL your devoted doordasher, Larissa!“

“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!“

“Honestly we were waiting in line to eat somewhere else and we got tired of waiting and walked down the street to this place. Didn't have very high expectations if I'm being honest. The decore is a little 12 years ago, but it's to be expected. What I didnt expect was how good the food was going to be. First of all they have a pretty good beer selection and a lot of interesting cocktails. We got the chips and queso as a starter (which came out with our food, oh well). Unbelievably delicious. Restaurant made chips, perfectly salty and crisp. Very tasty queso. My wife and I then had the mix and match tacos. I had 2 chicken and 2 mahi mahi and my wife had the cheeseburger and the cane asada. They were all delicious, except the chicken was a little bland.

Our server, I can't remember his name now sorry, was excellent. Very attentive, professional, amiable. Top tier service.

The drinks were a little spendy but that is to be expected I guess. Actually turned out to be the most expensive meal we had on our trip. Big bonus was that there was no wait and the food came out quick. All in all it was a great experience.“

“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!!“

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

“Had a wonderful brunch there. The menu doesn't have anything outlandish on it, mostly brunch staples. But everything was prepared perfectly. Bacon super crip, breakfast potatoes golden brown and the poached eggs had that perfect jammy-not-too-runny yolk. Spritz 39 was a great cocktail.“

“My entire party agreed the food was fresh and delicious! Many options from which to choose.“

“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!“

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

“Cooper's Hawk never disappoints! Always have to start with their yummy brussel sprouts. My wife and I both had the Butternut Squash Ravioli with shrimp, lobster and scallops - light and delicious, especially with the recommended wine pairing. Service was great! We ended up being seated in the bar which started out a little noisy, but cleared out and was fine. Highly recommend!“

“I actually did not go to Culvers that much until my son Emmanuel started working there. It was then that I truly realized how much I liked their food. I ordered the deluxe basket with cheese curds more than once, and I have loved it every time. The food is great here at this store. The service is exceptional, and if you get to know the people behind the counter, they are all really nice people. Do not pass up the chance to stop by and get the Culvers experience. You will not regret it.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to get into the front door. It's flat the whole way.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“When you are celiac (very strictly gluten free due to medical necessity), it is very hard to find a place you can go out and eat safely with your family. Here, they are very clear and strict with the management and prep of gf foods so I can still enjoy fast food occasionally with my kids. Thank you for your careful prep and kind considerations.“

“SMAXX is the place to be! Especially on Wednesday’s for $1 whole wings. My husband has tried many other food items and likes it! 🔥phillies and burgers too! I don’t go at night so I can’t speak to that, but during the day, the music is always jammin’ with R&B hits. If you haven’t tried it, you should.“
