Fair warning though...when…read moreyou walk in, it's a little confusing whether you order at the counter first or just seat yourself. We figured it out, but a sign wouldn't hurt. That said, once the food came? No complaints. We shared the shawarmas: the succulent chicken and the banging beef. The chicken was definitely my favorite. Finished it off with a creamy dessert -- can't remember the name but it was the perfect ending. The vibe was chill, not too crowded, and our server was great. If you're in the Liberty area and craving Mediterranean, this is the spot.

I recently visited The Russell and it easily became one of my favorite lunch spots in Kansas City…read more The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and full of character, with rustic details and antique decor that make it feel inviting the moment you walk in. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating the space. What really sets this place apart is the wood-fired cooking. Everything is prepared over Missouri hickory and oak, and you can truly taste the difference. The food has this incredible smoky depth that makes every bite feel elevated and intentional. I also love that they source ingredients from local farmers, which really comes through in how fresh and vibrant everything tastes. The menu feels seasonal, thoughtful, and well-executed. The food itself is not only beautifully presented, but packed with flavor. Every dish I tried was cooked perfectly and left a lasting impression. They're open for lunch, and they also offer catering from casual office lunches to full events. I've heard amazing things about their charcuterie boards as well. If you're looking for a unique, high-quality lunch experience in Kansas City, I highly recommend checking out The Russell. It's truly a hidden gem.

Russell may just be an "on-her-day" gal; no shame in that. Gerard Deulofeu still's rated in my…read moreeyes. I've come to this naturally lit lunch spot twice in my Kansas City visit. Normally a second stop on such short timeline is a non-option, but that Steak Chimi had me asking questions... Is she really like that? Knocking my socks off with ease and leaving my cuticles filled with buttery remember-me's. I had to see her again. Had to! On the second time of asking, I wanted to see if she danced a different tune just as well. Putting on a Chicken Cobb for size proved ill-fitting, at least stood beside THAT sandwich. Nothing to make me crawl back with a humbling desperation. Inflation makes your lunch $10-15 already, so may as well make it twenty, order the right thing, and the Russell becomes worth frequenting. Just make sure she's wearing her shooting boots - we don't have room to thirst for Cobbs y'all.

Since then they've expanded with several locations and I end up going to closer locations. But recently the monthly special was out at my normal Longboards but this location had it, so I ended up back in the old stomping grounds. I ordered online with no issues. They have a lot of parking. The building is pretty good sized, they basically have two rooms, one is just seating. Hawaiian vibes. Service is always friendly. I had a brief wait but my food was super fresh so I didn't mind. On my most recent visit I tried the monthly special, which was the Shaka surf and turf wrap. It was large and I had enough for two meals. I liked the tempura shrimp and the noodles. The steak had good flavor. I really like the originality of the monthly specials and tend to gravitate towards those over the regular menu but everything I've tried has been good. Check out their social media to find out more about their specials. I love that they offer hummus as a side and I always get it. They also have chips and some soft drinks. They do special collab kombuchas that I occasionally get and have liked too. Definitely check them out if you're in the area.

I called to check if the s'mores wrap were available since they were out on Doordash and they were quick to confirm it was, so good staff. I can't speak for the in-store vibes since I got takeout, but from the website I did enjoy their fun marketing. I got the cabin chicken wrap, cabo steak wrap, and s'mores wrap. To start, the savory longboard wraps were fantastic and creamy without taking away from the salty and juiciness of the meat. The s'mores was a disappointment - I could barely see the marshmallows. Either add more or use dandies marshmallows instead please. Overall good experience and I would order their savory dishes again.

The pick-up is so quick and easy - just order online, pop-in, and grab your order off the shelves to the left of the entry door. You can't go wrong with the food here from girl breakfast, to the plain + simple breakfast sandwich, to the pepperjack burrito, to the market bowl, lunch menu and their many many mouthwatering pastries. And don't forget about the coffee! They have both real mugs and to-go cups. I love their regular drip coffee, cold brew, cappuccinos and lattes. The cafe's interior design is modern, chic and comfortable with a mix of booth and table seating. I can usually find a seat for 2-4 people, groups larger than that may have a hard time finding a seat during peak times like weekend mornings. Seasonally, McLain's offers outdoor seating, too. Best of all, the staff makes you feel right at home - welcoming, friendly, helpful, hardworking and clean. Parking is angled street parking out front. Sometimes I have to walk a bit but never more than a block. Just writing this has me craving McLain's already.
