    Cute little burger joint. Lake house deco and plants. Gift shop selling tshirts. . Dine inside bottom floor or upstairs. They also have a couple of picnic tables for outside dining for those nice sunny days. Juke box playing in the background. Order at counter. Take a seat and they'll call your order #. Food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Jacoma burger with crinkle cut fries and onion rings. They were fresh and tasty.

    Jacomos is the perfect place to stop in for some good food on the way to the lake. We usually split a double jacomo burger and tots- it's plenty for two people. The food is great, family friendly (and cute) atmosphere. Service is always pretty quick

    Well done fries , perfection

    Walking thru the parking lot great 70's music playing , loved the vibe instantly . Inside a very relaxing atmosphere I felt like I was in a different place in time . Service was very friendly and helped me decide what to get . Ordered a Philly steak n fries , sooooo yummy , meat melts in your mouth , bread very soft , . Will go back n try other items for sure . I'm now a regular , you got me forever as a customer .

    Jacomo's Hunger Shack Great environment. Love the decor and lake feel. What we ordered: Mourlea & Emerie Pontoon Chicken strip basket Fries for Mo and Tots for Em Sophie Jacomo Burger with Tots Masch Jacomo Burger Double with Tots Anna Colbern Burger Onion ring, bacon, BBQ sauce Burgers are smash burgers and the patties are quality. The decor is great and can make a normal Saturday lunch feel like a vacation. We also got a Chocolate Monster cookie which was the size of a small pie in thickness and diameter Rankings: The scale is just like grades at school: F fails and A's are "I'd go out of my way to eat this again" Mo , environment A; food C - Em, food C, environment A Soph, food B+ Anna, food B- Masch, food C-, patties were the best thing about it. Everything else needs seasoning or to be made in house.

    Patty Melt. Great sandwich.

    I really like this place. The food is great, the price is right, and the seating area upstairs is nice. Service is at the counter and you pick up your food at the kitchen window. I stop here every time I'm in the area.

    Jacomo's is an absolute must-stop! We decided to try it after passing by, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the double smash burger and the pork tenderloin--both were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The prices are reasonable, with very friendly service. They even have a cute little gift shop section to browse through, which was such a fun touch. We will definitely be back!

    All of their food has been excellent. The Butterfinger pie seemed to change. Not quite as good, didn't help that it went up to $10 a slice. Other than that, the rest of the food is really good. A little pricey, but worth it.

    If you like heavily breaded chicken with absolutely no flavor, this place is for you. Chicken sandwich taste like plain flour.

    We visited Johnny Ray's twice because we wanted to give it a fair chance…read more The first time, we stopped in for ice cream. The restaurant itself is super cute, fun, and has a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the ice cream wasn't for me. It was overloaded with toppings to the point that I could barely taste the ice cream itself. I love a good balance between the ice cream and the mix-ins, and this just felt like there was way too much going on. The toppings completely overpowered the flavor of the ice cream. We decided to give Johnny Ray's another shot and came back to try the food. Sadly, I wasn't impressed. For the price, I honestly felt like I could have made a better meal at home. Nothing stood out, and it just wasn't worth the money in my opinion. I really wanted to like this place because it's such a fun, inviting spot, but after giving it two separate chances, we've decided we won't be returning for either the food or the desserts. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I also believe in giving an honest account of my experience.

    Stopped in here during lunch time, the place was busy. I was able to get the last seat at the bar…read moreat the time. The one waitress working was on top of it. Top notch service!! Even with the place packed she was getting drinks, delivering food, getting tickets out and checking up on people with very little wait. The food came out relatively quickly, and was a good size order of burger and fries. The burger reminds me of when I was able to get a good roadside burger, I believe the only thing that was missing was a pie display. The front window says they have a car show on the 3rd Saturday of the Month. A car show with the burger shack would make a great way stop spend a Saturday!!

    Very good restaurant! We were a little confused walking into the place seeing Diametric Brewing…read moreeverywhere instead of Burn Theory but quickly figured out how it worked. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Bartenders were friendly. The chefs/food runners were cool as well. The patio was nice to sit out on and over look the pond out back. The food was really good too! I'd recommend the shrimp po boy and brussel sprouts. We'll definitely be back

    I'm not sure what to say after reading all the reviews on here... I'm left wondering... were we in…read morea parallel universe or something‽‽‽ We stopped in after an appointment I'd had on a Monday in Lees Summit. We decided to have a quick early dinner here in town, and did a Yelp search for "great places to eat near me". This place was high in the list. We read the reviews and found ourselves driving around a building that had ZERO markings for the Burn Theory Fire Kitchen on it, but our Maps app said we were here. Turned out, the food for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen was cooked in a food truck in a parking lot and served inside the Diametric Brewing Company which is located at the address listed for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen. I will say, my husband ordered a special beer called "Cherry Street Wheat" and it was very unusual, and seriously tasty!!! I'm not a beer fan, but would drink one of these any day! So, getting back to the food... we'd both ordered a trio of street tacos that we did a mix and match of with their various proteins. We ordered this way to share with each other. We also love to discover new and unusual bites. After reading the reviews and their menu, we were excited for the promise of something uniquely delicious... and were completely disappointed!!! All but one (excluding the shrimp) of the six different tacos we'd ordered, bordered on the inedible side. The proteins were seemingly overcooked, folded into little leathery tortilla shells, and served to our table cold, dry and tough. They tasted as if they had been reheated from the weekends leftovers. Maybe we came on the wrong day. Perhaps if we'd visited on a weekend, or on the same day they were actually cooking the meats initially, we'd had a better experience. I don't know, and frankly do not plan to find out. Additionally, to be fair, their condiments (ie: the Ketchup and BBQ sauce) seemed to be made fresh and made from scratch. They were sadly the best part of our meal. Honorable mention to the Diametric Brewing Company which served us one of the most delicious and unique beers we've ever tasted!

The food is…read moreconsistently delicious, service is always friendly and accommodating, and everything comes out incredibly fast. Most of my orders have been curbside pickup since it's right around the corner from my house, and the process has always been quick and seamless. Let me tell you about the Great Salmon Caper Sandwich. A soft, pillowy brioche bun, flaky grilled salmon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, topped with a creamy, tangy aioli. It is quite literally one of the best salmon sandwiches I've ever had. When I say I'll never get sick of this sandwich, I mean it. It's a genuine 10/10 and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The Cluckers are also excellent and come with an absurd amount of food. My only complaint is that the chicken pieces can sometimes be so large that the chicken-to-breading ratio feels a little off. Other than that, they're fantastic. The breading is seasoned perfectly, the chicken is juicy, and the price is extremely affordable for the portion size. The homemade honey mustard is also some of the best I've ever had and is easily my favorite dipping sauce on the menu. Wally's is one of those places that never disappoints. Fast service, affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently great food make it an easy recommendation.
