“Nothing better than the ORIGINAL !! #OG #B&G“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Our family eats at Nick and Jake's often and we love it!! Great food, great prices.“

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

“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“

“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 Sunday brunch was so satisfying, it is also at a reasonable price. Even though I don't drink the bottomless mimosas are great they have different flavors. My wife ordered a raspberry one and she let me taste it. The fresh baked cookies were delicious.“

“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. 🙏“

“My husband and I drive from Omaha at least twice a year for date weekend and we always dine at Stock Hill. We love love love the ambience, service, food, all of it. It hits the mark for that dreamy, darkish, amber glow ambience, especially in the later months. This past weekend we went to KC on a whim and knew they were booked and decided we would be fine with a seat at the bar. When we inquired about a table for 2, the hostess explained that they were booked and could sit at the bar. We were totally great with that! But the “head honcho” came out of nowhere and told us he actually had a table for 2. The cherry on top? He proceeded to seat us at the table we first sat at when we went there for date weekend years ago. Thank you! 🥰“

“Best KC 5 Star Dive Bar👏👏👏👏👏🥂🌹♥️“

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

“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“

“I love Beer Kitchen!! They have fun and easy going servers, the food is terrific and diverse enough to please a large group of diners, and it’s all in a really nice environment that balances decor and vibe with practicality and ease of business. Take advantage of their happy hour when you can those deals are great, you won’t generally eat a meal here for under $30, but the price is well worth the taste and quality of your meal.“

“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!“

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