I've eaten here multiple times, and I have to push back on the "cafeteria burger" claim. These patties are clearly fresh, hand-formed, and cooked to order nothing like the frozen, pre formed disks from a school lunch line. If yours tasted bland, maybe you missed that this place leans into fresh ingredients over drowning everything in sauces. Not every burger needs mayo or mustard; some let the beef and toppings speak for themselves. As for the soggy bottom bun yes, fresh veggies release moisture. That happens in seconds anywhere if you don't eat quickly. But calling the whole experience "meh" while admitting you're going back for breakfast? That tells me the place clearly has redeeming qualities. You even said burger preferences are subjective, yet your review reads like an objective takedown. Bottom line: If you want a greasy, sauce slathered chain burger, go to Five Guys. If you want a solid, no-frills non chain burger with good service and plenty of seating (as you noted), this place delivers. And clearly, you agree it's worth a second visit. read more

We were on the hunt for a really good, non-chain burger. After looking at reviews, we decided to give this place a try. Service was good. It is not a big place, but plenty of seating. When it came to the food, it was meh at best. We got the jalapeno burger and the avocado burger. The patties are reminiscent of cafeteria burgers in school. There was no mayo or mustard or any type of sauce on them. The bottom bun was soggy shortly after being served, likely due to the veggies. Needless to say, we did not get our burger fix. So we won't come here again for that. Burger preferences are subjective, so just because it wasn't for us doesn't mean you can't try for yourself. We do plan to go back to try the breakfast items though. read more

If you're ever in the area and craving breakfast, stop whatever you're doing and give Ginger's a try! I came in for the first time today and wow am I impressed! The chorizo omelet is FIRE and the staff is wonderful. They always made sure my coffee was full and I was taken care of. I was amazed that they weren't busier! Please come in and experience this place for yourself... I promise you won't regret it! read more

Everything was perfect! the food, the staffs friendliness, how fast our food came out. It's Valentine's day, and as soon as we sat down they came around for our drink orders and delivered a rose with our drinks! By far the best experience I've had at a restaurant!! read more

My intention was to take more photos than that, but it's fine. It's been a long time since I've made any sort of review here on Yelp, so yesterday's outing felt more than worthy. ^_^ During my partner's and my outing we decided to have breakfast somewhere neither of us have ever been and opted with Ginger's Restaurant. A cute, little family owned breakfast/lunch place we enjoyed Very much! We went with simple choices for our breakfast, but simple Often Is exactly what I need! He got himself a meatlover's burrito if I'm not mistaken and I ordered one of their classic plate builds. I was expecting the popular and typical fruit bowl of melon, strawberries and grapes but instead got a berryful-berry bowl ! As silly as this sounds, Because I got a bunch of berries I felt Super lucky! Raspberries and black berries aren't common in American-style breakfast diners, so I enjoyed those flavors I haven't experienced in a long time! That was a very pleasant surprise for both of us! ^_^ Other than the food hitting the spot and being prepared perfectly, their customer service was wonderful and comfortable for us both and honestly, we quickly decided it might be our new breakfast spot when eating out early in the day. The booth we chose was tighty and clean and the music playing above wasn't too loud or disruptive. Simple, delicious, respectful, and peaceful. I look forward to our 2nd visit in the future. read more

Ginger's Restaurant - Brunch - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raytown, Missouri

At this cute little diner the food portions are more than generous. The menu is large and the staff is friendly enough. I just want to mention I'm from Austin, so everyone's food taste is different throughout the states. The gravy isn't home style or hot, but the bacon is plenty crispy and tasty. I can see why this is a great local choice. They serve Coke products here, and I never got my sweet tea so I couldn't tell you if it was good or not. My wife enjoyed the coffee and the experience wasn't unpleasant. read more

Eggs ordered over easy were raw and runny. Bacon under cooked. Waitress did not know what sourdough bread was. Will not eat here again. Said they are under new ownership. read more

Celebrating a friends birthday was made extra fun at Ginger's. The delicious cinnamon roll made a fun "cake" for the birthday girl to decorate, Thanks to the management for allowing lit candles, and standing by with a pitcher of water, lol Our breakfast was outstanding, service outstanding, helpful, and friendly. Ginger's was a great choice to celebrate a special occasion. read more

The food was better than average but good God this place was slow. Not slow like "Gee, what is my server doing"? No, this was the kind of slow that seeps out of this places pores. read more

Friendly, quick service. The food is consistently delicious, breakfast or lunch. Comfortable laid back atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great food, great service. Truly the best breakfast we've had in a while. Recommend trying the hot and avocado house made salsa - incredible. read more

The service was excellent, very efficient and friendly. The food was good and reasonable in price. I would have been very happy to recommend the restaurant, until I needed to go to the restroom, which was atrocious! It was small, not really a public restroom but looked like it was there for the kitchen employees. It was hidden back in the kitchen, was dirty and smelled. That experience has given me pause as to whether or not I would ever go back. read more

The best of the best for breakfast in Raytown. Outstand food and service as always. Home style cooking. Love it

In search of chicken fried steak, they have country fried steak. And the coffee is $1.89 not $4.89 like the place down the street, breakfast and lunch lovers. The country fried steak was ok. There was a lot of chunks of gristle in it (the non chewable part of meat) the portion is huge. Always willing to try a place once. read more

Love this place! So good! One of our favorite spots in KC super good breakfast and great service.

Not as good as before, but still tasty Portions are smaller which is probably good for most. Amazed that all burgers are pressed pretty much the same regardless of toppings. 1/3 lb maybe more read more

Ginger's Restaurant - Avocado burger plate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raytown, Missouri

A diners delight! Went on a whim one Saturday afternoon for a late brunch since I caught word of their breakfast. While waiting to order I saw this massive burger come out and instantly had to try it. If you're a fan of diners, drive-ins and dives, then you gotta try Gingers in Raytown. This place has perfected casual comfort food, and offers a variety of breakfast eats to burger feasts. *** #WhileUAreHere, I recommend you take a bite out of the classic cheeseburger. There's so much juicy, cheesy goodness you probably won't finish it all. Beware though, if you're a ranch lover like me you might want to pass. Some places have the secret sauce and some don't so go for the barbecue sauce or ketchup. read more

OK so wow. This place is around the corner from my family's home in Kansas City. Noone had ever been so I said let's go! This may be some of thee best breakfast food I've had while back in KC. (I can't wait to get back to brunch in LA tho) these omelets they served us were incredible! The biscuits were soft and moist! The plate size pancake was crispy on the edges and everything! The service was most excellent. Don't expecting a newer place, it's literally an old time dinner where the locals love to eat! I'll be back! read more

I was randomly in Raytown to take care of some business and wanted to stop at a new little Mom and Pop spot for breakfast. Ginger's made me forget where I was, like it felt like a mix of Cheers set is Mayberry. They waitresses were really nice and the food was fresh. What more could you ask for on Saturday? Definitely a nice little spot that I'd visit again. read more

Service used to be fast and friendly. Now it's slow and you may get yelled at for asking for something. They can't keep help so when it's busy, watch out. The food is good and the prices are fair, but I think I'll look for another place to go with a better attitude. read more

I saw the wonderful reviews online for this place and thought I would try it out. What a horrible surprise. When I walked in the door the tables were so dirty and gross. Flys everywhere. Workers were not wearing masks properly and there was food in the seats. So I decided not to eat here. GROSS!!! Fly Info: https://youtu.be/magUVxKOz4A read more

Solid breakfast!! We were looking for a new place for breakfast, specifically a good breakfast burrito, so to Ginger's we went. Upon entering, it was quiet with not many patrons, but we received a warm welcome and were promptly seated. Throughout our visit, our server was incredibly attentive and helpful and made us feel like regulars. And it got busier as the morning went on. He told us the menu was an "all-day" menu, which made my brain explode trying to decide between wanting tacos and sopas and pancakes and omelettes all at the same time. Everything sounded so good and another couple there told us on their way out that we couldn't go wrong with anything! I decided on a bacon & avocado burrito with home fries and a side of pancake and my husband had the steak burrito with hash browns and a side biscuit with gravy. The burritos both had a chipotle sauce and both were delicious!! And huge! The sauces on the side were also yummy, especially the avocado sauce. Get that!! The home fries weren't as crispy as I like, but were ok. And the biscuit was a little tough on the bottom but the rest was nice and fluffy with good flavor. The gravy wasn't the best - not as thick as I like and the sausage in it wasn't great. But that pancake was one of the best I've had!! Fluffy with nice crispy edges. SOO good!!! Overall, solid breakfast joint with fast and friendly service!! read more

This is a neighborhood gem of a breakfast place. Located in a rather large strip mall with a Red Apple Market anchoring the opposite side, there's an overabundance of parking spaces. Most of the seating is in booths. One of the seats we tried was very lumpy, unfortunately. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure that the coffee and water were continually topped off. The real story here is the delicious food. When you order the scrambles, you can forget about the number of eggs described in the menu. My 2 egg farmer's scramble looked more like 4 eggs. It was so masterfully fluffy! The 2 strips of bacon became 3, too. I usually eat way more than I should in one sitting, but I could not finish today. One of my kids ordered the meat lover's scramble and also had the same issue. Just too much good stuff! The Ginger's burger was a half pounder, but again, it looked so much bigger than that. There may have been a bit too much steak sauce and salt on the burger, but not enough to deter the kid from devouring it. Would highly recommend for breakfast! read more

First time I went I waited way too long for mediocre biscuits and gravy. Second time my work got a order together for five people. Quoted 15 mins. I got there on time. Waited an additional 38 minutes. No one said anything. Got back to work, missing two items. I went BACK to get what I paid for. No one said anything, offered an explanation or apology. Waited another 15 minutes!!!!! For MASHED POTATOES AND COFFEE!!!!! I won't be back and my work will NOT be ordering from here anymore. read more
