We were staying across the parking lot at the Courtyard, and the smell of grilled meat from Hereford House made the decision easy. I met my niece there for dinner, and it did not disappoint. We both ordered steak dinners, and they came out perfectly cooked with great flavor. The fresh vegetables and well-seasoned fries rounded out the meal nicely. Simple, solid steakhouse experience if you're nearby, it's definitely worth a stop. read more

This was our first time dining at this location since the one closer to us closed a while ago. My fiancé was craving a steak so he ordered a prime rib. He was very happy with it. I was very happy that it came with raw horseradish since that isn't readily available most places. I enjoyed their seasonal blackened shrimp pasta. I had their house beer, because I am a sucker for anything that is unique to a location. It was a little hoppy for my taste, but there wasn't much of a description on what kind of beer it was when I ordered it. The American wheat I had the second round was much more my taste. My fiancé ordered a smoked old fashioned that they lit on fire right at the table. It was nice to see and the smoke lingered for a while. We were much more impressed with the size and decor of this location compared to the one we had tried once before in Leawood. read more

Great steak place with various seasonal additions. Incredible servers with good recommendations and lots of smiles. They split our entre in the kitchen without a request, always a plus. Decor is looking a little dated but doesn't detract from the quality of food and service. read more

It was late so Chris and I decided to eat before checking in to our hotel. This building is neat and looked like it had a lot of history. We sat at the bar to avoid the 30-minute wait as they were very busy. We decided on the Duo Dinner which was actually a bargain for a four-course meal for two! We enjoyed and devoured everything! The calamari was tender and well-seasoned. The stew was hot and flavorful. Not pictured was Chris's prime rib. It was super tender! My salmon was grilled to perfection and the carrot cake was a sweet ending to a very satisfying meal! read more

A friend and I went for dinner. The prime rib was okay, not as good as Texas Roadhouse and twice as expensive. The mushrooms were thin, tasteless and cold. The chocolate cake was delicious. Overrated and overpriced. read more

Came for a private event -a weekday lunch and learn. Found the experience a pleasant one. The private room was set up well and the timing was flawless. Our speaker said we'd expect salad at a certain time and our entrees at another certain time and they were both delivered exactly on time to a room full of people. My steak medallion was hot and cooked the perfect medium rare, though the bacon wrap was soggy and I didn't eat it. Mashed potatoes and side carrots were also hot and tasty. Enjoyed the experience and felt the service was amazing to somehow always keep our drinks full but not be disruptive. read more

Got my 75th birthday dinner from them an it was excellent! The filet was so tender that you could cut it with a fork! The lobster tail was also good! I'd highly recommend them for a perfect birthday meal! read more

What can improve? For starters everything! If you're going to charge over $50 for a steak you better make sure you know how to cook it. I ordered medium rare but it was undercooked. The asparagus and potato were nothing less than boring. I will not be back. The decor is old and dingy. This place needs a lot of work. read more

Good experience going here. I got the 2 person meal for $99 -- includes an appetizer, two soup/salads, 2 entrees, and a dessert. The steak was good, but I don't know if it was worth the price! Still liked it though. It was mostly quiet, which was nice for conversation. I'd come back in the future. read more

We went to the Hereford House on Midland for my birthday dinner last night and once again, they knocked it out of the park! Hereford always has the feel of a great steakhouse, and they live up to that. I love the "cowboy chic" theme of the restaurant. Our waitress was great and even brought an unexpected dessert for my birthday. She was awesome. The food is always the star here. No one in Kansas City beats the 1957 Salad. The in-house cheese and garlic dressings (pink and yellow dressings) are the best. I always recommend getting both. Then I got the perfectly prepared Prime Rib. Again, maybe the best in town. I can't wait until the next time! read more

Very disappointed with our meal a week ago. Wife and I booth ordered the small filet. It was super small and grossly over seasoned. The ceaser salad dressing tasted like it came out of a bottle. Only good thing was the sea hogs. Paid 130.00 for this crap meal. Will not eat there again. read more

Update: I was messaged by the Hereford House, asked if I wanted to talk about what happened, and I responded yes. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Can you say "MOOO?" The Hereford House does not live up to its reputation. I ordered a med. rare steak and it came to me so raw that it was mooing. A person at my table also ordered a med. rare steak and it was perfect. Inconsistent at best. The server saw my steak, agreed and apologized, then took it back to the kitchen to be re-fired. It came back to me rare, not medium rare. By this time, everyone else at my table was nearly done with their meal. Frustrated, I sent everything back on my plate and told them to keep it. The manager stopped by and asked if everything was okay. I told her that she needed to do better. It's hard to believe they stay in business. BTW, nothing got comped for my "nothing burger" meal. Will I ever go back? No. Would I suggest this place to my friends and family? No. P.S. I went to Rye in Leawood later that night and the food and service were superb. If you want a great meal, run to Rye! read more

This is a really nice steakhouse! Food was great! Appetizers to desert, everything was designed exquisitely and prepared perfectly! If the opportunity ever arises to eat here again, I will immediately! Thanks! read more

1000 ticket and food took over 1.5 hours after the order to arrive for birthday for 85 year old grandmother- despite having few tables to wait-made absolutely no sense. Grandma wasn't able to walk out of restaurant 3 hours later without 2 people under each arm... and of course no concern from anyone and the manager standing right there. The $4 charge for the birthday grandma was the extra bonus and no apologies from the manager on duty whatsoever. I actually walked up and he was complaining about the issues I raised... to the 18 year old hostess. Needless to say- we will NOT recommend this place, and will be contacting the GM. Unfortunate because the restaurant chain has been VERY challenged in KC and we were expecting something more! read more

went there for Happy Hour. Sat in the bar area. we all had mixed drinks that were good - had a cosmo that was one of the special drinks. yummy! shared a huge plate of onion rings that were so good. the guys had the steak burger with fries. girls had the beef short rib tacos. OMG. they were so good. had with sweet potato fries. Comes with three regular sized tacos! Oh and started everything with their yummy rolls and sweet butter. We left so full with food enough for the next day. had a delightful waitress whose name I've forgotten. Was a wonderful HH and will be back! Prices very reasonable for a nicer restaurant with good food! read more

Stop serving fish under cooked, wife sick all night. Don't serve yesterday's baked potato or filets cut from the tail and full of gristle. Get cooks in kitchen trained to prepare. $50 meal worth the price charged. read more

Went here for a date night and honestly, was pleasantly surprised. The service was was a little slow at the beginning but the food came out pretty quickly. You're given a soft honey white bread to start and this was absolutely delicious. I wish my meal consisted of this bread only, it was really good! (I usually don't rave about the complimentary bread but this was definitely good.) When trying a new restaurant, I always opt to order two appetizers.. guess it's just a tradition. Order the calamari, for sure! Usually, calamari is hit or miss and a lot places can't perfect the texture. The texture of this calamari was amazing. Tasted really good, the spicy marinara definitely added to the taste. I would order this every time. The crab cakes... go ahead and skip out on ordering this. The taste wasn't too bad but came out cold and the aioli that came with the crab cakes was personally too pungent and tart; would've preferred a milder taste on the garlic (usually i am a HUGE fan of garlic) but the aioli really doesn't pair well with the taste of these crab cakes specifically. Salmon - VERY good, mashed potatoes.. strange texture almost "gooey", i skipped out on eating this. Can't go wrong with broccoli, this was just okay. I would come back for the salmon, bread, and calamari. :~) read more

Went there with my Grandson and spent $127.00 on two meals. Place was almost empty and food overall was overpriced and not worth $127.00. The next week we went to Texas Roadhouse and spent $47.00 and the meals were delicious. No alcohol at either location. read more

Bad day at work walked to Hereford House for a meal service was spot on, meal was great have no complaints. Thanks

I always leave the Hereford house in Shawnee feeling so happy with the service and food. Bobbie was AMAZING in answering my questions and helping me find a meal that was Whole30 approved. Max was very attentive as well and made the experience very enjoyable! Can't wait to come back!! Thank you!! read more

We had dinner at the Shawnee location and the food, service were very good. Our server was an old pro and very good with her recommendations. read more

Update. Decided to use the gift card HH gave us due to our last experience being less than expected. No reservation, got there and they were busy due to Homecoming. Was told initially that the wait would be most likely an hour. We were not in a hurry so told them we would wait. Also I know most places exaggerate wait times. The hostess was very attentive to us keeping us updated and the wait time turned out to be 10 mins! Great start. Ironically we were seated at the same exact table with the same server as last time. BTW, although there were some short comings in our server last time, she was still a very pleasant and nice person. I ordered the Grilled Meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and string beans. My wife ordered the Short Rib Tacos with string beans on the side. Our server brought us hot bread and butter, delicious, while we waited for our dinners. I like the honey butter. Our dinners came and they were both absolutely delicious!! I really like the smoked flavor that results from grilling the meatloaf. it was a generous serving topped with a brown beef sauce. The short rib tacos were stuffed with meat, pickled onions and cilantro, then deep fried. The shells were a little greasy as a result of frying but crisp and delicious non the less. We both had leftovers. (It was fun seeing the Homecoming kids and their dates, dressed up and funny at the same time. The girls all were wearing tight dresses with high hems and due to being self-conscious constantly pulling up the fronts to ensure they were covered and at the same time pulling down their hems to ensure their rear was covered, lol. The guys had suits, some wearing sneakers with them. I don't think they were even 16 yrs old.) Now, back to the dinner. Hostess 5 stars for her attentiveness and effort to seat us sooner rather than later. Server 5 stars for being so pleasant and attentive. Food 5 star for flavor and portion size. On our way out a different server was bringing someone their food, crossed our paths and still took the time to thank us for coming in. NICE! Price very reasonable, 38.00 total before tip. REDEMPTION HH!!!! We will be back! read more

My husband and I dined here Thanksgiving 2024 - had just moved to the area and it didn't seem reasonable to make a feast for two in our short-term rental. We had a reservation and the Hereford House was fully prepared for the upcoming busy day. Prefixed menu options helped, but the service was impeccable. Looking forward to trying town again on a "regular" day. read more

They changed the menu since the last time I was here, but still good quality food. Service is friendly and helpful. This restaurant has a country feel to it so don't be surprised to see some horns on the wall. The grilled salmon hit the spot. read more

$75 before tip. Both of our steaks were raw when we ordered them medium. Sent them back and they came back the same. Potatoes were horrible. And our mushroom appotizer had a lot left to be desired. We didn't even take the time to complain as we wouldn't want to go back with any type of offer they may have given. It was that bad! read more

Yikes - I'm sure Hereford House could get some great reviews, but that was not our experience today. First - for the good stuff - I'm not one for meatloaf, but it was pretty enjoyable! And the cowboy/rancher theme of the restaurant was fun. We were seated very quickly (at lunch time). For a few cons... I haven't had that poor of service for a very long time. Which is pretty unfortunate since it pretty much broke our experience. With two adults and one toddler, I didn't think it was much to ask for some kind of non-ceramic container for him to eat from. I had to convince our server of the idea for a to-go container instead of a plate, for which I got a few strange looks. And again, the same look of confusion or disbelief when I inquired about the sauces they add to the meatloaf (to see if I wanted them placed on the side). Our server wasn't familiar enough with the menu descriptions to answer my questions and just kept repeating the same answer over again. It kind of got awkward... Then when we wanted to use a $10 off $20 discount card, two rules popped up as to why we couldn't use the card with what we had purchased. After having a manager visit our table, and another round of excuses were made, the issue was finally resolved. I doubt we'd ever chance our time and money at Hereford House again. :( read more

2nd restaurant week dining. Hereford House off Midland & 435 is conveniently located with plenty of private parking. Promptly seated and drinks promptly served. Great 'restaurant week' menu with the steakburger being my favorite. This isn't your fast food dining, so had to wait awhile for the burger, but the result was a juicy(not too juicy) very delicious and per the pic(s) a hearty burger. $15 for burger, fries & fudge brownie (+2.50 for iced tea), this was a very positive experience. Shout-out to Israel for his attentive service. read more

This is the best location, so much better than the others it's like a different restaurant. Happy hour is one of the best in town and is a must do. If you need a group room for a meal for your organization, they are really one of the best. Food is excellent, staff are friendly and very accommodating. Rooms provide real privacy and plenty of space. Just as impressive for lunch and dinner for two or a family. Highly recommended! read more

Let's start with the good the service was excellent. The server that my family had was attentive, quick and knew what he was doing. The food was tasty and cooked to perfection. The steaks that we had were cooked perfectly medium rare to medium and my wife's pork chops were awesome. The only reason that I didn't give them five stars is that the portions were small for the price we paid. My filet was almost $40 for a 7 oz filet and my sons kids meal was $18 for a kids steak. I don't mind paying a lot for food if the portions justify it. Otherwise it was excellent. read more

Lunch prime rib. One of my favorites in KC. The prices are getting high enough now that you could visit a higher end steak place for almost the same price. It's good but at $40+ I start to consider nicer options. This should still be a $25 - $30 restaurant. read more

It's a shame to say that the quality of Hereford House's food has gone way down. It used to be a nice place to eat about 5-10 years ago. I've been there twice in the last several months, so I can safely say that it wasn't just an 'off night.' Their steaks are still good, but don't bother with their wine, shrimp cocktail, salad, fish entrees, or side dishes besides the mashed potatoes. I ordered their new sesame-honey marinated cod with rice and veggies. The fish was inedible (overcooked, poor quality, poorly seasoned...), and the sauce was gross. The veggies and rice were also really bad as well. All of it was so terrible, I ended up eating some of my husband's filet and mashed potatoes. My dad ordered the same thing, and also agreed that it was bad and barely ate it. I think our server noticed, but didn't say anything. We didn't want to cause a problem since it was a relative's birthday, so we basically just waited to leave. The servers here are good, it's not their fault- but whoever is back there cooking...I think I could do a better job, and I have no culinary training whatsoever. Won't be back. read more

My wife and I recently tried Hereford House. We had a great time. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. We will definitely be back. If you eat at Hereford House be prepared to spend a little extra than the norm. You wont be disappointed! read more

Disclaimer: Happy hour review ONLY Looking for a late afternoon shareable or a handcrafted cocktail? Just want to unwind with friends or colleagues, either on a patio or in a spacious dining area? Then the Shawnee Hereford House location, run by Mark and his friendly team, may be just what you need! Yes, Hereford House has been around KC for a long time and now with multiple locations, you can get that goodness all over the metro. But this is all about a short drive for me (yay! neighborhood!) and the afternoon enjoyment for you. Happy hour runs from 3:00-6:00 with a fair array of appetizers, a small but rather robust menu, and a great selection of specialty drinks. My wife is a sucker for the 50s Cosmopolitan, starring raspberry instead of cranberry, and gin over vodka. Matters not, because this is a beauty of a drink and goes down nicely. I have vacillated between the Smoked Old-Fashioned, featuring Four Roses bourbon (not high-end but still fabulous) and the Barrel-Aged Roman Roads, which is rye with a ginger syrup - so delish! The old-fashioned hits your nose with the smoke but settles the sweetness on your palate in a nice mix. The rye and whiskey together with the ginger adds just the right spice for any pairing. I highly suggest the spinach/artichoke dip, which is accompanied by a bounty of crostini, and *may* have you scooping the last remnants from the bowl. Also noteworthy is the crispy pork belly app, replete with a bacon jam and housemade cornbread. Your conversation is likely to come to a halt as you shove either of these delicious choices into your mouth, repeatedly. Want to go for more than an appetizer? Check the happy hour meal choices and as silly as it sounds ( it IS a steakhouse, after all), you may not find a better burger patty anywhere at this time of the day. A blend of ground sirloin and ribeye comes armed with cheese and more for under $10. And that right there is a hidden benefit: you can get in and out of happy hour here for under $50 easily, with noshables, artisan drinks, and beer/wine. Sure, dropping $50 for an afternoon isn't the most fiscally conservative plan, but it is all about the *value*, and Hereford House Shawnee delivers that and more in their quiet and inviting atmosphere. read more

Solid home cooked-like meal. Chicken fried chicken was good covered in gravy and served with a side of mashed potatoes and I chose house salad for 2nd side. It was a good house salad with a good ranch dressing. Service was good-only knock is not once were our waters refilled or even asked. That seems like a pretty basic task that needs to be part of every dining table. read more

The Hereford House Shawnee KS location has gone backwards on ambience, service and food quality consistently over the last several years. Doubt I will ever revisit this location again. I will try Independence and Zona Rosa to see if they are better than this location before I totally write them off as one of the greats that has fallen. read more

Went there for years , knew the manager and bartenders, was a great place.Went there last week and found out they got rid of the manager and most of the staff to make room for the staff and management from town center location. Whom was in charge where the guy tainted the food. Not happy and the food was not even close to the prior quality! Not ever going back! Can't even rate them low enough! read more

Very accommodating for a special request related to a surprise. The service was a little slow, but that gave us a chance to socialize and visit more. It would have been annoying if it wasn't a party. The food was excellent! Everything was correct and at temp. We will definitely go back! read more
