Dagwood's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Kansas

Awesome breakfast! Came here two days in a row because it was that good! One time we ordered the biscuits and gravy, and Dagwood sandwich, the other time we ordered the country fried steak with a breakfast burrito. All the food was delicious! Biscuits and gravy were flavorful and plentiful. The Dagwood sandwich was loaded and probably was the favorite. The country fired steak was good and plenty of food. The breakfast burrito with chorizo was ok, not great and honestly left more to be desired. Overall still a great place to get your breakfast fix! read more

For almost 90 years Dagwood's has served KCK's Rosedale neighborhood. A lot of neighborhood style greasy spoons have come and went - Nichols' Sanderson's, Sydney's, Waid's, Marcy's,Chubby's... but Dagwood's and a small handful of others continue the tradition of booth and counter seating while creating all the basic breakfast and lunch staples that we all need and crave. Burgers, omelets. B&G... I stopped this past Sunday to do a bit of Tenderloin therapy. I've been on a bit of a rampage / fact finding mission with this Midwestern staple and Dagwood's offering was above average. Tender, breaded well, tons of fresh toppings (lettuce, onion, pickles, tomato) and horseradish for the asking. Large and reasonably priced. Don't forget the fries AND rings basket - you can have both! My water was kept filled and waitresses were pleasant and efficient. A solid 4 on all fronts. read more

This place is great. It's an old fashioned diner. A place for any walk of life. Atmosphere was simple. Service was very attentive. Solid menu - went for breakfast but lunch looked good. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. Sausage was spicy in a great kick way, not overpowering. Pancakes were huge - very soft and fluffy. Overall great place. I won't complain about parking but be patient though. read more

Stepping back in time with nostalgic vibes, Dagwood Café offers a delightful experience reminiscent of the past. I appreciate the old-school diner atmosphere and the variety of breakfast and dinner options available. I ordered the half portion of chicken fried steak, and my husband particularly enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. Both dishes reminded us of the home-cooked meals from our grandparents. read more

A cozy, delicious diner! Felt like I was on Route 66 in the Cars movie. Lisa was so friendly, and it was a homely feeling. No wonder they have so many loyal regulars! Food was incredible, special shoutout to the biscuits and gravy, chicken Philly omelette, and the chocolate chip pancake! read more

Excellent local diner - as I expected. You can't be in business for nearly 100 years and not be excellent. What was also excellent was the price! Inflation hasn't hit hard here. I had a biscuit and gravy (excellent slightly spicy gravy), bacon, hash browns (fried crispy) and an egg over medium. They kept my cup of coffee full, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable brunch. read more

Great diner for breakfast. Pancakes are especially good - with plenty of real butter - not margarine. read more

My husband grew up on the "hill" down aways from this restaurant and we finally made it here. I came for the open faced hot beef sandwich and husband had the chicken fried steak. Lots of workers from local businesses use this as their lunch spot. Service was quick and efficient. Staff were friendly. It was a throw back to the kind of restaurants we used to go to when I was growing up. Food was solid. Husband liked the green beans because they had bacon in them like his mother made. read more

2 time around and it was verrry good. Staff was super efficient considering how busy it was. The ingredients were some of the best , bacon was fantastic. Great breakfast. read more

Been looking for a good hot beef sandwich. I just found it. Traveled 45 minutes to get here. The sweet waiter took my order while I talked on the phone (yeah - I know - rude of me but she read my sign language like a champ!) when she brought the plate she said they didn't seem to have to much gravy so she had them add more. Just the ticket! Definitely a "greasy spoon" - my favorite! read more

Perfect breakfast food. The burgers are kinda lacking but litteraly some of the best no frill breakfast I've had.

Great breakfast. Great experience. Great service. Great vibes. Great prices. Great quantities.

We came from Arkansas to explore Worlds of Fun, my family and I decided to stop to Dagwood's Cafe before heading home and they did not disappoint! We were greeted right away, our drinks and food came out right away. Felt like I was eating a home cooked meal! Definitely stop here if you can, our waiter was amazing! read more

Solid diner breakfast. For the Rosedale area I really miss Ginger Sue's. I think Dagwood's easily filled that void. Good pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy - service was quick and I can see myself making another visit soon. read more

Want to take a trip back in time? A journey to counter stools, greasy spoons, and waitresses that actually *wrote* your orders down? Look no further, breakfast adventurers, and set phasers to 'enjoy'. Slingin' it since before your grandad was born (1938!), Dagwood's is still delivering sturdy breakfast and lunch fare and keeping the anachronistics front and center. You are not going to find avocado toast here, nor pressed juices with kale and other antioxidants, no, quite the opposite. In fact, you're probably going to find all the oxidants here! And guess what, health crowd: an egg ain't gonna hurt you, fried or otherwise, and the Greeks said 'everything in moderation'. It's a DINER, not a bistro or gastropub. Sidle up to the counter and get yourself a hot cup of fresh coffee, fillable every time you drain the mug. The menu is not vast, but what they do, they do WELL. Dive into the Dagwood, an egg sandwich with your choice of meat nestled in between two slices of toast, served either with a side of gravy or smothered over the top. Or try the Double Dagwood, which is not for the faint of heart nor light of stomach, as it is all three of the breakfast meats smashed together with an egg and in between toast. True breakfast diner aficionados should opt for the Irish Dagwood, which features corn beef hash and marble rye! My wife's omelet (Swiss & shrooms) was 1) enormous and 2) pleasantly fluffy! Also, pro tip: get yourself a house-made biscuit on the side. Maybe the fluffiest biscuit in town, and there is some stout biscuit competition in these parts! Easy to park of SW Blvd., friendly staff, quick service (like Jetsons-fast), and a great experience! read more

I pass by Dagwood's every day on my way to work and have been wanting to try it for weeks. I was out and about and heard someone raving about it so I made the impromptu decision to visit and I'm very glad I did. I was craving a good breakfast sandwich and Dagwood's delivered. It was your classic bacon, egg, and cheese and really hit the spot. I can see myself returning here often. read more

Nice little diner. Great breakfasts. Friendly service. Would definitely go there again. read more

Brunchin n' Lunchin - Dagwood's Cafe It took me long enough! Those 5 words have never been more true regarding this adorable, quaint diner almost hidden on one end of southwest boulevard. I had passed Dagwood's Cafe time and time again but had never, until a recent Sunday, ventured inside the restaurant. Inside the tiny space...and I do mean TINY, one step down and you come face to face with a classic diner style counter and on the opposite wall there are a few booths. My breakfast partner and I slid into an empty booth early Sunday morning and man were we HUNGRY, it could or could not be because of extracurricular activities from the evening before, but after reading the menu we knew we had come to the right place. My eyes flickered over corned beef hash, a bevy of breakfast sandwiches, homemade biscuits and gravy and all the classic diner options including 2 eggs anyway you like. Instantly I had decided upon a decadent sounding, and definitely high in the carb department, Irish Dagwood sandwich, which who would have thought, my breakfast date also set his sights on. We also just had to split a half order of the biscuits and gravy, which did not disappoint us at all, and added to our carb dense meal (just what the doctor ordered for nursing a hangover). When the sandwiches arrived the marble rye bread was glistening with butter from the flat top and the fatty melt in your mouth corned beef hash was piled high and a blanket of succulent swiss cheese was peeking out the side needless to say this was the prescription the doctor order. The hash browns were also crisped nicely, no small feat. By the time I have dove into my sandwich I almost forgot the mound of biscuits and gravy placed in between us but, no man was left behind and the slightly doughy biscuits and savory salty white sausage gravy was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The food was fast and exactly what you expect from a tiny neighborhood diner, Dagwood's doesn't disappoint! read more

Food and service was great! Nice local place for these visiting Texans to have breakfast!!

Since I had a 12 hour train ride from Kansas City to Chicago ahead of me, my friends who were hosting me took me to get breakfast at this quaint little diner off the main drag. When I first came into the place, the girl behind the counter looked the spitting image of one of the receptionists at my work. It was a bit unsettling, especially since she's also from the Midwest. Anyway, I ordered a two egg breakfast with a waffle and hash browns. Most everything was very good. The waffle was light and fluffy, though I didn't particularly care for the butter on top. My friend's wife ordered a half ham steak, and they weren't kidding about the notable size of that piece of meat. Who could even finish a full size ham steak like that in one sitting? It did look good though. read more

My husband frequently makes an early morning stop here and brings home breakfast. He gets the sandwich that is covered in sausage gravy which so delicious. I get the more basic breakfast option and everything is consistently great. The service is friendly and your pretty traditional diner experience. I would highly recommend stopping in if you have not tried it! read more
