16 Best American Restaurants near De Soto

“Our son's name is KJ, so clearly we made a little drive to find out who KJ is and experience this pizzaria, and it was such a wonderful experience, small town local restaraunt which was clean, shared personal aspects of the owners life/family on the walls, and to top it all off yummy pizza down to some homemade ingrediants, bravo you all are doing a good job and we hope you continue to be prosporous!“

“We happened to be driving from Colorado to Maryland on Christmas day when we came across this little gem. The people at Beer 30 were super welcoming and invited us to play in their reindeer games. Definitely recommend stopping in to say hi. They even sent us on our way with a hoverball to remember them. Thanks for an amazing break in our drive.“

“Got the daily special it was the Chicken Fried Chicken, it wasn't the best chicken fried chicken I have ever had, but it was decent, it could be better if the gravy wasn't between cold and warm - I like my gravy to be hotter, not burning my tongue but definitely not feeling like my plate sat and my gravy lost it warmness. I also thought that I would get a bigger portion of chicken fried chicken at that cost and I asked if it was a lunch portion and they said no. Fries and green beans were great. The nachos with beef was good my wife said, I tasted one and the nachos were a bit soggy, I like my nacho chips to be a little more crispy.The service was mediocre, I had to wait a little longer to get a refill and some extra napkins, but they were busy during lunch. Although they are busy here's a hint if you are a waiter or watress if you pass by a table even if it isn't yours and you see a person's drink near the edge of table and not full maybe ask if you need a refill. I tipped the girl 20% but probably should have tipped 10% for the service. I tipped her 20% because she was really nice, but if I were management I would definitely look into this issue. You have a lot of staff and someone could have noticed my drink not even half way full.Lastly I want to say the atmosphere is great, lots to look at in the bar and you have friendly staff but service and food should be your top priority as a restaurant owner. When either of those are lacking it could keep people from returning.I don't live close by this restaurant and live in Western Shawnee so venturing out to your restaurant is a little out of my way so hopefully my next visit (Yes I will return with my family) will be better. I only dinged one star each for food and service, hopefully next time I can give 5 stars across the board.“

“One of the best burgers we have ever had and amazing service to boot!“

“We try to eat at 1866 at least once a week. Last night the food was excellent! I'd never ordered the Chef Salad before, so last night I tried it! It was AMAZING! The salad includes many things I usually don't have ready or on-hand at home. I had enough dressing and my husband even said it looked good! He had the fried fish and said it was excellent too! The wait staff was great! Thank you!“

“One of the best most consistent breakfast in the country and lunch is great also. The club was awesome today.“

“Not so long ago, there was a time when presidents came from Missouri and Kansas. A time when a man’s word was all you needed to know the job would be done right the first time. A time, in short, when pride still mattered. The standards and values of this era were not lost on the two lads known as Nick and Jake.“

“We attended a private event for approximately 50 guests at Austin's on Lone Elm this weekend. The taco bar was quite tasty, and stocked repeatedly for our group as needed. While the party was fun, it was ever more memorable due to our two servers, Mikaela and Jeremy. These two were so fun, exuberant and hard working professionals. Their constant smiles while keeping up with the drink orders with precision was fantastic! They were go getters from the start and made an already fun day even better. Great employees, good food, thank you Austin's Lone Elm for a great experience!“

“The fried pickles are delicious! Friendly efficient staff. We definitely will be back!!“

“Food, service and ambience at First Watch are consistently the best! I've been to First Watch at many locations in KS and MO, and all are great. I'm picky about what I like in my coffee, and the servers always cheerfully accommodate my requests. One of my favorite places to eat! I only wish they were open for dinner. (I like to have breakfast for dinner.)“

“Had a great breakfast this morning. I highly recommend Flapjacks 'n more.....This was the new Shawnee, Ks location“

“Loved Pegahs. Food was great and served hot and fresh. Staff was super friendly and treated us like regulars. We had dinner. Erica was our server. She was great. The next morning we came back. Michele was our server. She is Erica's sister. We loved the friendly sibling rivalry! We are about 45 mins from this location and only stopped because we were in town. We will happily make the drive just to come back to this warm, welcoming place!“

“The BEST Rueben on the planet! An extremely generous helping of thinly sliced corned beef- never had a piece of fat! Had most things on the menu- all delicious!“

“Flower is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! Even by herself, she runs a tight ship. The food is (as always) amazing, but Flower is superb!!“

“I enjoy the atmosphere and the food and staff have always been great.“

“We picked up food here. Got a tenderloin and fish sandwich. The tenderloin was huge! Big enough for 2 sandwiches. The fish sanwhich was really good except parts of it were over fried. Portions where amazing! The twister dip was good too! Season your chips though! They were bland. Overall 4 out of 5 stars!“
