Both were incredible and devoured rapidly (we had two 17 year olds with us ) I had the steak and potatoes and the wife had the rigatoni dish. Again, amazing. The atmosphere is lively and the decor is very well done. Scratch is in our rotation of go-to restaurants in the metro for a reason. The staff, as usual, were prefect in every way. Special shout out to our server, Thomas! Enjoy

I have had Governor Stumpy's bookmarked on my to-do list for years but just got around to visiting…read morethem this Saturday afternoon. I thought of my parents after getting settled in at the bar. This is the type of old school neighborhood bar and restaurant that my parents would take me as a child. The booths along the wall, the outside deck, muted TV's with golf and the NFL draft above the bar, christmas lights strung along the ceiling... all triggered magical memories of visiting places such as Bob Ford's Canteen, Joe's Bar and Grill, The Liberty Bell... as a child. The menu has all the standards from steak, chops, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, salads...something for everyone in the family. I ordered the Posnanski's Chicken Spiedini - named for Joe, the former KC resident and sportswriter that I assume was a regular when he worked for the KC Star. The dish was a plate of spaghetti in a tomato pesto sauce topped with a long skewer of chicken spiedini then topped with a fresh tomato heavy marinara and two slices of garlic toast. A fantastic and perfectly sized entree. To go along with the good food and vibe was the service. My waitress / bartender was friendly and engaging and the jovial owner came over twice to chat about sports and follow up on my meal. Another mature lady (owner's wife? / manager?) not only asked me about my dish but asked if I'd order it again and what modifications I would make. If you've read my past reviews, you know how much customer service means to me, and Governor Stumpy's is nailing it. I also had a nice chat with a gentleman sitting at the bar discussing food and Kansas geography. A perfect little afternoon in Waldo. An easy five stars and wishing that I lived in the neighborhood. A new favorite.

What a great place! Came here for a World Cup watch party on…read morea Monday night. It was mostly empty as it turned out but that meant we were able to get prime seats at the bar in front of the tv. The array of German bier offerings is exceptional. I appreciated the lower alcohol choices as well. The interior is, as the name implies, like a small beer hall, with long tables for gathering with new friends. Also ideal for putsches. The outdoor seating is a strong point. Serene, softly lit and spacious. The bartenders were business like friendly, they really don't want to hear your sad stories. The only downside was that they quit serving beer at halftime of the game we were watching. The game that went into extra time and on to penalty kicks. So we sat there for an hour and a half, thirsty, pockets full of unspent cash, watching the game while the neglected taps mercilessly mocked us. It honestly seemed baffling and inane beyond belief. Still, looking forward to a return trip when they're more willing to part with their delicious brews.

I've visited KC Bier Co for many gatherings over the years. A classic bier garden like this is…read moresupposed to bring people together with its spacious patio which is never short of seats and shade. It's a great place to enjoy German-style beer. While they offer pale lagers they also go deep into other German styles like bock, Dunkel, schwarzbier, and the whole spectrum of German-beer. They offer German food that historically pairs with beer. I've always enjoyed the appetizers. They have a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. In the winter they usually run a special where you get a discount for sitting outside in the cold. I've done that a few times. Their calendar is always chock-full of events, so I recommend checking out their social media accounts to look for something fun.

I want to send a HUGE thank-you to Chastity for taking such good care of me and a colleague last…read moreweek! We were meeting to take care of some college business over lunch, and Chastity was our server (as well as the daytime bartender, which was handy!). She was friendly and so helpful with the menu (it was my colleague's first visit), and gave us recommendations for food as well as drink pairings. She stopped by as we were enjoying our meals, to ensure that everything was going well, and when we asked if we could continue to occupy the table (to finish our meeting, which ended up lasting 90 minutes), she was more than happy to accommodate us. I had the Impossible Burger (my first time trying one) and it was DELICIOUS! I have friends who are vegetarians and often have difficulty with plant-based hamburgers because of the texture, but this was perfect and honestly tasted just like beef. The toppings were fabulous and I was able to upgrade to sweet potato fries (from regular fries) for no extra charge. What a deal! I paired my lunch with a can of non-alcoholic Sam Adams IPA (another first try), and it was super-tasty! My colleague ordered Big Gary's meatloaf and said it was wonderful. Pro tip for conducting a meeting at The Red Door: The high-top tables in the bar area near the front door are quieter than the main dining room, due to the location of the music system's speakers. We had the table in the corner, and there was minimal traffic and it was easy to speak to each other. Again, MANY thanks to Chastity--and to the cooks in the kitchen--for such a great experience and helping to make our lunch meeting a success! We really appreciate you!

Upon arrival, I got…read morethe vibe this place was trying to be a casually upscale (I know a little contradictory), yet modern eatery. No reservation made ahead of time, but we were told there was a 15 min wait for outside, so we agreed. Ambience is alright outside, but not particularly cute either. Service was fine. It's not like the guy ignored us or anything, but no water off the bat was a little weird. He did eventually bring it out with our drinks, which took a minute since the bar was busy. The menu seems like it has enough variety to appease any picky eaters. I got the meatloaf and appreciated the assortment of veggies and portion size. Otherwise, I don't know that I'd come back unless someone else invited me.

I have not tried anything I haven't liked so far. I've had their roasted chicken, Parmesan crusted chicken, shrimp scampi, chicken tenders, and key lime pie. For happy hour, they offer $8 cocktails & martinis, $6 glasses of wine, and $2 off appetizers. I will say the entree prices range from about $20-$40, so it is on the pricier side for a casual dinner out. It is a family friendly place as well; we brought our baby the last couple of times, and I often see children there. All in all, this is a nice spot for dinner and we will be back!
