    Food is amazing! Didn't know what to order and picked…read morerandom chicken and flavors. 10/10 Carbonara rice is 10/10

    So like Joe K said, it's great to see more Korean chicken places in the Kansas City area. (S)KFC is…read moreamazing - the crispness of the chicken, the fantastic sauces. It's special. I'm excited just thinking about it. But oh man was I hoping for better. And I think this place could get there, if they can change some things. Joyce and Brandy laid it out well, so I'll just echo some main points: - The food could be better. Apparently it has been before. What I saw felt pretty low effort, the crispiness wasn't there. (South) Korean Fried Chicken is amazing because even with those delicious sauces, the chicken stays crispy. Best of both worlds! These wings were soggy. I didn't feel great after eating the meal. It wasn't ideal. - The service was nonexistent. I came up to the human at the counter, who directed me not to talk to her but to put in my order on the screen to the side. I hate these. I hate them so much. The UX on the terminal was clunky, the navigation in particular was so bad that there were whole sections of the menu that seemed to be missing. I now know to swipe left on the headers to scroll right to a second page of root-level categories, but be honest, just reading that in a sentence is confusing and annoying. Some people may like kiosks. That's fine! But mandating them is awkward and obnoxious. - I'm still on the service. There's a big menu. There are paper menus. There are little signs advertising fun looking items. I already know what I want. It is so much easier and more enjoyable to order with a real human and get their help. Why put the added friction of learning a clunky interface? An employee would be fluent in the system even if it's bad. And if my case is any indication, it's not helping their sales. I would totally have ordered more dishes if I'd known that was an option. It just looked like they were out so it wasn't available. - After putting in the order, I was prompted for a tip for the service. Which just felt like a coup de grace to my psyche. - It felt like there was no heart here. That's probably an ownership issue. I'm sympathetic to a point, it's not easy in general and there's a lot of pressure to cut costs (especially with the tariff arsonist disrupting supply chains). But the vibe here was dismal, you could feel it in the food and the staff. The space itself seems set up well to have large groups and good times. Could be a fun spot. But right now, the impression I get is that aside from the wings the kitchen does a lot of prepackaged instant food. So I'm not sure what they're trying to be - a decent wing place, or more of a fast-food/gas station type of spot. A vending machine with a deep fryer. Like I said before, this place has potential to be great if they can change some things. They're just going to have to want to. I'm rooting for them.

    Food is incredible! The pizza is up there with the best pizza I've ever ate in my life! They use…read morefresh made daily ingredients, as the pizza dough is made daily as well! The service is incredible as well, as our server was constantly asking us how everything was and tasted. You could really tell that they care about putting out great quality food. The restaurant/bar is a nice cozy place, remind you we went on a Monday afternoon and there was hardly anyone there but we were digging all the paintings about the restaurant and food they had. I really digged the Dinosaur eating pizza painting, I kinda wish you could buy it, my kiddo would love it in his room. And when you order YOU HAVE TO TRY THE BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!! Another guest there recommended we try them and that they're "life changing" and he wasn't wrong so glad we did! They're perfectly cooked, balanced sweet and salty, and has top notch chocolate in them! It's crazy because this pizza place makes better cookies than MOST OF the bakeries I've ever been too. MOST DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK p.s. my 6 month old daughter had some of the pizza sauce, and cheese off the pizza and from the salad and she APPROVES

    Honestly I wanted to like this place, and I'm bummed it didn't really measure up…read more I will go back and try another couple of pies before I dismiss it all together. The service was fantastic. I didn't catch her name but our waitress was kind, and knowledgeable. She explained that everything is made in house, and I love that. There wasn't anything wrong with my pizza, it just was unbalanced. Hence why I'd like to come back and try a couple different options. It was loud as all get out in there, which is to be expected on a Saturday night. Not bothersome, but if you want conversation this is not the place! I'll be back, to give it another go. :)

    Gus's is just good fried chicken with simple tasty sides…read more I came in with my step dad and brother on a weekday night and parking was ample outside + we were seated immediately. It wasn't particularly packed and the lighting was fairly soft, which was nice. The waitress got our orders and drinks our fairly quickly and with a friendly demeanor. I opted for the white meat, so I had a couple of juicy chicken breasts with some Mac & cheese + mashed potatoes. Yeah, it was a bit carb heavy, but it all worked well together. While the breading definitely has some spice to it, it was fairly weak by my standards and wasn't an issue. Nor did it cause any issues later. My poor step dad got a concentrated seasoning bit and he was about beside himself, but even he recovered shortly thereafter. Overall it was a good meal at a good price with good service. It's hard to beat that combination. So if you like a little spice with your fried chicken, Gus's is a good option.

    5 stars for Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken - WOW…read more One of the best meals that I've had in the area. I didn't try any of the chicken on my first visit, but did get to try the Catfish plate which was absolutely amazing. It was seasoned extremely well - and had a very nice spice and heat level to it. The fries were good and mac & cheese was excellent - super filling meal. Our server was very friendly and attentive and there's a ton of seating inside for dine in. I'd highly recommend a visit alone on the Catfish plate, but I will for sure be back next time I'm in town to try the fried chicken.
