I was looking for something that was somewhat healthy or good for you so I stopped in here to grab dinner before my flight. You can either seat yourself here at a table or the bar, and you can also pay using a QR code that the waitress or bartender gives you which allows for a speedy departure if you need to catch a flight. The salmon with the broccoli and coconut rice was fire! It was cooked perfectly. I hate when my salmon is overdone so I'm so so happy it was done right! I also ordered the hummus because I wanted some raw veggies, pita, and hummus. The hummus was really good! I love that it had chopped olives on it. I do think the hummus plate was a little expensive, but the hummus in the airport market (it comes with baby carrots and like two tablespoons of hummus) is like $11 so when you compare it to what else is in the airport... it's pretty decently priced. read more

Another great little airport bar. Pretty roomy and a good size bar. SERVICE: I had a great server that was friendly and attentive. FOOD: I had their hummus plate and an old fashioned - both were spectacular! If you need a quick stop - this one is a great choice!! read more

Service was very slow. Food is slow to come out. 40 minutes!! Food was great and they have beautiful wine. But there's no prices listed. I figured maybe it would be maybe it would be 23 but it was $38! Of course not printed on the menu read more

I'm literally writing this review because the tomato beet soup is absolute fire!! I've never done a review just to review soup but there it is. The wanderlust cocktail is also delicious. They have loco moco on the menu for Hawaiians who are home sick and the menu looks fabulous. I just wasn't very hungry. The atmosphere is chill and upscale and staff is super friendly. read more

If you want a sit down place - this is it. Good food a little on the pricey airport side but good. I got the arugula salad with chicken. The chicken was a bit dry but overall salad was still good. I also got the tomato beet soup. It was very acidic and more tomatoes than beet taste. read more

With the nice exterior, we felt we were going to get a nice meal. The service was great but the food quality is definitely in need of improvement. Salmon was meh and the Charcuterie board was similar to that of lunchables meat. Bummer. read more

Got the hummus and the Italian salad with chicken. The hummus wasn't fully blended and there were whole chickpeas, which was weird. The Italian salad was really gross. I'm not sure what the dressing was on top but it was mixed with powdered Parmesan cheese that tasted like vomit. read more

This restaurant is in the B concourse at the MCI airport and I was attracted to the bright, clean look as it seemed to provide a nice place to work while waiting for my connecting flight. It is seat yourself and I was a little worried that I would have to wait given the servers would not notice me. Well, I was wrong as Michelle promptly came to my service, bringing me ice cold water and a smile. I chose to try the Loco moco $16 and sparking rose $16. The wine was served within minutes and my lunch soon followed making this a great experience. Thanks Michelle for brightening up my day! Only thing to note is that for a more upscale restaurant, being given plastic cutlery was not great. It's like drinking nice wine out of a plastic Dixie cup, not the best! Other than that, great experience! read more

Hopped in for a quick lunch and OMG the salmon dish was so good! The sauce topping was similar to a yum-yum sauce and the rice was set on a soy sauce- true perfection in my book. Set at the bar and was served quickly, this staff shared the salmon dish takes the longest on the grill, so it did take a solid 20-25 minutes to arrive plated, something to keep in mind on layovers, but worth the time if you have it. Very clean, modern place to have lunch- highly recommend! read more

Great ambiance, service and food for an airport restaurant. The music and aesthetic makes it feel like you're not in an airport at all. I appreciated the variety of their food and drink menus. I got the "Turkey Tea" sandwich and it was very good! I recommend asking for light lettuce, getting a side of the French onion mayo to add to the sandwich, and getting for the fennel aioli for the fries. Next time I will try this in sourdough. Overall, a great airport restaurant experience. read more

Brown & Loe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We ran into brown & loe on a layover at Kansas City airport. It was just a pit stop on our way to Chicago. So clearly we didn't try everything on the menu, but what we did try wasn't super impressive. I'll start off with the best thing we had here and work my way down the list to our least favorites. 1: grilled salmon. By far was the best thing we had. The red chili aoli was light but it added a mildly creamy compliment to the stronger flavors like the ponzu sauce, coconut rice, and garlic that the menu didn't say it had but it definitely had. I will say this, the first time we ordered it the salmon was undercooked but they were happy to remake it and the second time the texture was amazing and it was perfectly cooked. The roasted broccoli had a crunch but not too much, it was outstanding, and the floretes soaked in all the juices of the flavors around it. I would actually order this dish again. I give this dish a 4 star. 2: the cesar salad was great, the chicken was on the boarder of being too salty but it wasn't bad, it was juicy and peppery, and I ate it. The salad itself was what I would expect in a cedar salad, not too much to say about it. I would give this Cesar a 3.5 star 3: the calamari is tied for worst items we had here with the smoked Gouda Mac. So the calamari had entirely too much breading on it, and the meat was chewy, I suspect it was a frozen item that also wasn't cooked well. It came with a spicy tomato oil that wasn't spicy at all and had no flavor whatsoever, we had to ask for hot sauce and lemon and pepper and we tweaked it so it was something worthy of dipping in the spirit of what the sauce was supposed to be. The horseradish honey sauce was fantastic but then again I'm a sucker for horseradish, this was above average not the best I've had but better than your average horseradish. It was relatively mild too so if you're not a horseradish snob like me you will probably still enjoy it. I give it a 2.5 star 4: the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. This dish had all the makings of a good dish, the cheese textures were phenomenal, the bacon was a cool touch, but the bread crumbs were nonexistent; usually when mac and cheese has bread crumbs it's supposed to be coated on the top layer. The thing that sucked about this was, it was the saltiest Mac and cheese I've ever had, no matter where I've gone, it was hard to eat and if you have high blood pressure get ready to head to the ER on this one. 5: the wanderlust cocktail sounded good on the menu and tasted quite alright. It was good ish but not great, and if I were them I would put it in a bowl with a sugar rim and throw a decorative piece in there to really make the name come true. The ambiance felt like it was going to be fancy but then we got these plastic utensils too that made the experience feel cheap. The service is another reason we didn't give this place 2 stars, they were friendly and accommodating and they tried to fix problems as best they could. read more

An modern upscale airport experience with great service, a full bar, and an interesting menu. I really like Brown and Loe so seeing it's arrival in our new Kansas City airport was awesome. The menu is definitely scaled down for this location, which is understandable. The staff seems well trained, and the restaurant itself is clean and inviting. Because of the limited menu at the airport location, as a vegetarian, I had limited options. I opted for the Vegan Beat and Tomato soup, and a salad. The soup is pretty tart, and came with no bread, which it needed. I was able to pay for a side of toasted bread thankfully, which helped to break up the overwhelming flavor. The salad tasted great but with the spring mix, I felt like I was munching on weeds. A good experience overall but I probably would not order either of those items again. read more

Brown & Loe - Tasted great. Felt like eating weeds. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Hard-working but understaffed servers trying their best to deliver a restaurant-quality experience in an airport. As you might expect, the price is higher than normal, and there are some odd choices, such as the plastic silverware. Calamari - 3/5 The calamari itself was solid but the accompanying sauces were both a bit disappointing and lacking in flavor. Skip. Salmon - 4/5 The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the sauce it was served with very pleasant. Steamed broccoli side was a bit plain, but overall would recommend. Worth a stop if you're on layover and have the time. read more

Friendly service. Nice refreshing lunch at the airport. We had two large bowls of the tomato beet soup and shared a large arugula salad. Large salad was a little small but the soup was excellent and just tight for a cool windy day at the KC airport. read more

The new and improved MCI, Kansas City International Airport opened 3 days ago. So exciting! With it comes a lot more food options! Even more exciting!! There are lots of great options now. All price points. This gem is in the B terminal near B 51 and directly across from the City Market. Elegantly done. Cozy, quaint seating options. Or, you can sit at the bar. Lots of window views of the gates. You can watch the daily operations of pushing and pulling away and up to the gate. The real heroes are on the ground. (BTW. They can endure anything. Weather, poor staffing (at times), long hours). Anyway. Got here at 1300. It was open seating. The staff is friendly and attentive. The business has one other facility. Family owned and operated! Score for the airport. I get tired of seeing chains. Be patient with the staff. This is new to everyone here. It takes a while to build consistency. I'm hoping they do really well. It is so nice to have options other than fried and battered. The low key relaxful ambiance is nice too. We had the Mac and cheese add chicken. Husband always does a complicated order. He changed from the regular grilled chicken offered and went with the National chicken. Very good option. Well done. Moist on the inside. Crispy on the outside. Had the Nashville hot sauce on the side. Very good. I had the salmon and coconut rice and broccoli. Broccoli was seared perfectly. Big problem for me. I hate boiled broccoli and I hate prior frozen broccoli. It's of course more expensive to do it this way, but thank you. Really enjoyed the coconut rice. More than I should. The salmon was good. We are in the center of the country. Cooked completely on point and I loved the lightly drizzled sauce that carried a little heat. These are really large portions. You can share. I had an old fashion and hubs had the close your eyes and Cabo. Both very good. His was a good bit sweeter than mine. Which is how it suits us. Small cubes. But they really didn't melt very fast. Not sure how that was. Great experience. We hope they do well! Oh, and they offer an airline discount and military discount. Support those that support the troops. read more

We enjoyed our recent visit to this place! It was our first time. We were with an 8 person group. The service here is excellent! The menu is fair priced even thought the food is quite creative and good portions. The place was fairly full of people living near. They were busy but our service was excellent because the servers acted as a team. Our drinks were served by three people. Dinner by four people. We were left alone to talk with each other. The lady kept aware of our needs and right there! Very pleased! The only minus was an elevated noise level. It's a masonry two story beautiful original bank building. Really nice! You will enjoy this place! read more

Nice little bistro tucked into the corner of B terminal. Service was fast and friendly. Waitress checked on garlic content of mayo for me and brought out plain mayo when she found out did have it. I got a Club sandwich and fries. The sandwich was huge and I was only about to eat half of it. Waitress convinced me to take the rest to go, so I carried a half a sandwich around the terminal and onto the airplane only to not eat it Good experience though. read more

Brown & Loe is my favorite place to have a wine and an appetizer as I wait for my flight to board. Anna is an awesome waitress, outgoing and super attentive. Stop to meet her and she will take care of you. When you travel away from home, it is nice to meet people who make you feel like family....and Anna is one of them. Thank you always Anna! read more

The service was good. It's the location at the airport so their menu may be limited from the actual brick and mortar location. I wanted a good onion soup but, since they did have a tomato beet soup. It was really good and I would definitely get it again. The bartender made me a custom Bloody Mary and it was fantastic! Very nice look and location. read more

So I like to keep up with my airport reviews, and as this is my home base I don't eat at my airport much but today I needed to. It was VERY apparent that the choices in the airport were primarily barbecue for a great sandwich I walked over to Brown and loe, and they had one sandwich that appealed to me his name was Betty and I was initially going to have them hold the ham because I'm not a big fan of ham. Wow I'm so glad I did not have them change anything guess that's why we should rely on chefs for their experience and combining case it was an amazing sandwich the sauce was fantastic I will absolutely get this sandwich again hopefully when I'm at the brown and low in the river market. The staff was super friendly and I got my sandwich quite promptly.. Is it bright Cherry place in the corner so if you're headed down past the first two terminals just give a look to the right and it's in the corner. read more

The menu looked decent with all of their options. The service started out great as the drink came out right away. But went downhill from there. I had to wait 30+minutes for a simple order of a hummus plate and side of fries. I don't know if they were short staffed this day but I watched the waitress for 15 minutes run around grabbing drinks and clearing tables, barely any food. The fries were like warm as I could see they were grabbed from a big basket warmer sitting on the top of the counter. Overall the food was decent but the wait was terrible. If you don't have a lot of time, I would bypass this restaurant. read more

Worst hummus plate ever. If you want to look like there is no effort, this is the plate that says it all about the vibe and quality here. Wait staff was horrible and talking in back when it was not that busy. I was checked once after I had to waive someone down. Watched other tables and no care. You not waiving them down, they are not checking. Table next to me full of guys actually left to go have more drinks somewhere else since they were so neglected. Just people acting like table busers... This airport has awesome food options. Definitely recommend Meat Mitch (as good as the restaurant version in town!). Disappointed and won't go back to Brown and Loe cause the experience was low.... read more

We needed some food and B&L had decent options for salads, so we figured it couldn't be too bad. The only great part was that the server gave us a credit on our bill for the undercooked salmon. The burger & fries were definitely frozen, reheated/fried Sysco food and the salads were average. So if cheap ingredients don't bother you, the price will. read more

Love menu, service and atmosphere. My hubby and I decided to order two different sandwiches and give each other one half - mentioned that to the server. Our lunch arrived and she had asked the chef to split the sandwiches and put half of each on the plate - that is great service!!! This is a quiet oasis from the chaos of TSA clearance line which was awful only because we were in front of parents of two small children who yelled at them the entire time through the security (way to make Reagan a serial killer, you horrible parents). read more

I ate here for lunch while waiting for my flight home to SLC. The food was flavorful. The fries were nice and crispy. The peppered bacon was just the right amount of flavor. The salmon was a lot higher than I expected. This is the small salad. It was enough to fill someone up. The service was quick. Only one waiter was present but he was quick to fulfill my order. It's about as ambient as you can get for an airport. read more

Arugula salad is good for people who want small portions. I ordered without any protein and it has good flavor and is fresh. But as you can see the Turkish apricot is missing. Tomato beet soup is ok, not terrible but not great, it's on the sweeter side and can't really taste beets at all. It feels a little more like a bowl of tomato sauce poured into a bowl. read more

I had a great meal, the food was fabulous. Morgan Kaminska was extremely kind and helpful. Outstanding customer service.

Best airport dining experience that I can remember having. Brown and Loe is tucked away in concourse B. The setting was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle that is the airport. I chose a seat by the window and was able to just breathe and let go of some of the chaos of the day. It is 1000 degrees outside and I had not eaten or had any water all day. My server Anna was fabulous. She brought plenty of water and made the recommendation of the Buffalo BLT, sub fries for the arugula salad. What a fabulous recommendation it was. Everything I never knew I wanted. The dressing was light and the flavor of the salad was a perfect way to start The BLT had a wonderful peppery flavor and I finished feeling light and very satisfied. Thank you Anna for making my chaotic day a bit more pleasant. I would definitely recommend Brown and Loe. read more

How this place rates 4 stars is beyond me. The hot chicken sandwich was dripping with grease onto an empty plate with ice cold fries. Despite the description the sandwich was uninspired and essentially tasteless. Price point normal for airport food but hardly worth the value. Go elsewhere. read more

Excellent place to sit and relax with great food! I had the Gouda Mac n cheese which was delish and is a huge portion! Highly recommend this place for long layovers! read more

Service was fine. They weren't busy at all. Came on a Sunday. They were out of the champagne I wanted. The caesar salad was not good. Water in the bottom of the bowl. I asked for more dressing because I'm pretty sure they forgot to put any on. It was just parmesan, lettuce, crouton, and eggs. The chicken I added was okay at least. Definitely wouldn't order that here. read more

My new go-to restaurant at the Kansas City Airport. The service is great the food is fantastic and the views are the best in the airport. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxing. My server was Amber D and she took time to answer my questions. I had the Buffalo BLT with Blue Cheese Buffalo Mayo. Since another reviewer mentioned the sauce was too hot I asked to have it on the side. It definitely is NOT too hot, indeed very mild but with exceptional flavor. The sauce for their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is very hot so perhaps it just got mixed up. Hope the other reviewer will try again. The fries are exceptional. I understand they will soon begin offering Breakfast. Can't wait to have a morning flight. read more

You forget you are even in an airport at Brown and Loe in MCI. The service was warm, personable and fast. Chandler (bartender/bar manager) was upbeat and kind to the customers as well as her fellow staff members. It was a lovely, light and airy place to spend a little time to have a glass of wine and a snack before my flight. Prices are airport prices, but the value was totally there with the lovely atmosphere and service. read more
