What a place, down in the old part of town, old old building, in great condition, Menu was complicated, lots of choices and if I had time I would have tried them all. Patty Melt, french fries, onion rings. Wife had a mushroom swiss burger. Concierge was so helpful with the "deals " and seated us with all the info we needed. Looking forward to next year's volleyball camp.

Unfortunately, over the past 18 mos or so, my family has noted that the food quality has gone downhill from the days when Katie Scully ran the place. Overcooked meat-especially the burgers. I have always recommended Heroes for the burgers, but bot my son and I have each experienced this on our last 3 visits. Loaded cheese fries and plain fries were excellent yesterday, but the Unknown Heroes tasted weird, as if the recipe was changed, and not in a good way. My husband and I have regularly used Heroes several times per year, and we almost always get 1 or 2 liters of the concoction to share with friends or, like yesterday, our grown-up kids. My kids are home from school and requested Heroes for the food and great family memories. Unfortunately they, too were disappointed with the food.My husband and I will be back in the next couple of weeks for a work function. We are really hoping for a better experience.

All I could get was a greasy breading taste. You can also see the excessive grease in the basket too. Worst meal I've ever eaten. Plus it was expensive and this was the appetizer. The ambience was nice very festive and the waitress was kind. But the food was terrible I'm surprised they would even charge people for this.

I stirred the ice around a bit and realized there was scum floating in the bottom. I grabbed a server and sent it back. Asked to just have water. She happily brought me a water. Maybe 5 minutes later, some guy brought me a new peach tea and I said I had asked to just switch to water. He said the tea is fine "it's just sediment" I explained again, I don't want the tea, I'm fine with water. It wasn't sediment, it was like strips of goop, but I wasn't going to argue. The waitress then came back and said "they must not have cleaned the nozzle last night" which is more likely the culprit, although I'd guess they might not have cleaned it for more than one night for it to have goop caked on it that would come off in long strands. Then, the weird guy came back with a glass of water. It was weird. I'd shown him I had water when he brought the replacement tea. Even the table across from us mentioned how awkward it was.

I've been eyeing this place ever since arriving in Warrensburg, Missouri. Walking past it every day during the cold weather weeks, which caused this lovely place to close temporarily, due to the lack of traffic. Now, it is back open, and tending to the locals who come by and set up shop with books and laptops to read and do some work. Upon arriving I was greeted with a smile by Maggie, their barista for the day. She was very patient and attentive as I made small talk with her, stalling as I decided what to order. I asked what the specials were, as their is a chalkboard on the counter that reads "Barista Favorites", a list of specialty custom drinks made by each individual barista. Hers was the "cinnamon toast crunch latte" consisting of their espresso beans from Colombia, brown sugar syrup, and another secret ingredient I'll have to inquire for the next time I come. It was perfectly foamed and delicious to the last drop. She even popped over to ask how I liked it, hence the 'charm of a hole-in-the-wall'. I see why this place is so loved, and definitely plan to come back again. The food is popular here as well, but I haven't tried it. They have a selection of breakfast sandwiches that are made with a panini machine. Be sure to come before 1pm, because they shut it down for closing around then. If you're a local, or just visiting, this is definitely a shop to visit.

The only reason my husband and I discovered this place opened tonight, Wednesday, was because we had gone to Heroes to eat, and went for an evening stroll. Upon approaching this store, we noticed the bright flashing "Open" sign, and he and I looked at each other, and we are like getting our laptops and heading in. I'm glad we came here on a Wednesday night, and all stars were aligned. The barista was a sweet girl, very accommodating and she made the best hot, dirty chai latte I've had. It wasn't too strong but just right. I already had my fill of coffee for the day, so maybe next time I will try a coffee here.

There were a handful of older men seated alone (likely travelers off I-70). We stood at the front waiting and waiting to be seated. The people in the kitchen looked at us but never came to greet us. A lady busing tables and wiping tables also looked at us but also never greeted us. Finally the lady who was busing tables came and sat us. Getting waters we asked for took forever. Taking our order then took forever. One of the men seated at the booth behind us had to take his cup up and ask for more coffee. We almost had to do the same with water. My photos show a 90% empty cafe but after she cleared tables, she rolled the cart right next to our booth and throughout cleaned plates off in it while we were eating. There were a million other places she could've parked that mobile cart and how she couldn't see people wouldn't want to hear her clean plates or clanging dishes...
