My wife might add a little lettuce and I might add some mustard instead of the burger sauce, but those are personal preferences. It is a perfect cheeseburger as it is served. If there is a better cheeseburger in Kansas City, I would like to know it. Because this is the best one I've had. Way to go, Cosmo Burger!!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now because I'm always looking for the best burger…read more This is inside Lenexa Public Market. You put in your order on a screen at the counter. Then they send you a text when it's ready. It was ready very fast. This is seriously a great burger! I got extra sauce which I'm so happy I did. I'm not sure what's in it but it's mustardy and I love that. Juicy and saucy that got all over the place when I ate it. What more could you ask for. I also got the tater tots, which were excellent. Crispy on the outside and came with dipping sauce. Probably some of the best tater tots I've ever had. Cosmo Burger is definitely one of the top five I have ever had. I'll be back for sure.

We were eating late lunch so it was 3pm on a Monday & pretty quiet. We tried burnt ends, the sauce…read moreoptions are good & definitely KC style. The burnt ends were very much the burnt ends of the beef - my husband really liked them but I had some dry bits that were not fun to eat around. Mac & cheese was good, not off the charts. Cheesy corn very good & nice flavor! Onion rings were panko-crust & pretty crunchy (tearing up roof of mouth) but fresh & tasty. Slaw was good enough. Overall good food, will eat here again is 3-4 out of 5 on each item. Service was great, friendly & prompt

1/2 Burnt Ends BBQ - Kansas…read more When you're in Kansas/ Kansas City area, BBQ is non-negotiable. Since we were staying near our Airbnb, we searched for a local place and landed on Burnt Ends BBQ, a restaurant that's well known for its barbecue sauces. We walked in with no expectations and were quickly seated. Our server, Lily, greeted us right away, took our drink order, and brought out complimentary cornbread bites. Those little bites were a fantastic start to the meal. If I lived nearby, I'd probably order those every visit. I had already decided what I wanted, but my wife was doing her usual "let me study every item on the menu" routine. Lily recommended the All the Ends Platter, so I changed my order and we decided to share it. The platter included beef, pork, and corned beef burnt ends. I chose the creamy coleslaw while my wife selected the baked potato salad. Presentation was excellent. Everything looked like it was going to be outstanding. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't quite match the appearance. The corned beef burnt ends were decent, the pork was just okay, but the beef was easily the best of the three. Since Burnt Ends is known for its sauces, I sampled all four. None of them were what I'd call unforgettable, but my favorites were the Thick & Bold followed by the Honey Glaze. The sides were a mixed bag. The baked potato salad was served warm, which makes sense considering it's modeled after a baked potato, but both my wife and I prefer potato salad cold. It just wasn't for us. The creamy coleslaw also seemed to be missing something. It wasn't bad--it simply lacked the flavor I was hoping for. Since neither of us cared much for the sides, my wife ordered a basket of fries. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. After finishing the burnt ends, we decided to order a half rack of ribs. I'm glad we did. They turned out to be one of the highlights of the meal--tender, flavorful, and worth the extra five dollars. The biggest disappointment had nothing to do with the food. The dining room was uncomfortably warm. It wasn't very busy, yet it felt like the air conditioning either wasn't working or simply couldn't keep up. It definitely affected the overall experience. In the end, the service from Lily was very good, the complimentary cornbread bites were excellent, the fries were spot on, and the ribs were the best thing we ate. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal--it just wasn't the memorable Kansas City BBQ experience I was hoping for. If I were only in town for a few days, I'd probably continue exploring some of the other local BBQ spots before returning. Chef T's Scorecard: * Food: 7/10 * ‍ Service: 9/10 * Sides: 6/10 * Atmosphere: 5/10 (Too warm to be comfortable.) * Value: 7.5/10 Overall: 1/2 (3.5/5)

JT's Grill is smack in the middle of the legacy part of DeSoto and you can't miss it along the main road north of K-10. Regional, local, and other sports memorabilia lines the walls of the bar & dining room. There's is seating both inside & out (in good weather) and it's fairly spacious. The menu is essentially bar & grille fare with daily specials mixed in, and you can always get a solid meal & a drink for a reasonable price. Plus there is generally sportsball of some variety on the TVs, so stop in if for nothing more than to cheer on the home team. If you don't do one of their daily specials, then I would suggest the pork tenderloin, which is hand-breaded and pounded flat. The sandwich is huge and delicious, and it's one of the anchors of their menu. Burgers & more are all over the list of choices and all are a great option. Service is always friendly and generally hoppin' and when you mix good food with good people, then great things happen. Maybe it's not four stars on the Michelin scale, but for where you are and for what you might be after, JT's Grill gets it done with all the stars.

The ladies working were so friendly and worked quickly through the long line to get orders placed. We didn't have any issues finding a table to sit. They have plenty of high chairs and booster seats for kids too.

If you're heading to Danny's Burger Shack, just know one thing up front, there might be a wait. But…read moreafter trying both the PB & J Burger and the Sweet Heat Burger... yeah, it's worth it. The PB & J Burger sounds wild on paper, but it absolutely works. The peanut butter brings that rich, savory creaminess, and paired with the jalapeño jelly, it hits this perfect sweet-with-a-kick balance that keeps every bite interesting. It's one of those burgers that makes you stop after the first bite like, "okay... this is legit." The Sweet Heat Burger leans even more into that flavor combo. The sweetness comes through first, then the heat builds, and that jalapeño jelly really ties it all together, adding both sweetness and a subtle spice that doesn't overpower the burger itself. It's bold, messy in the best way, and just really well executed. Neither of these quite cracked my personal #1 burger of all time, but they're not far off. Both were seriously delicious, packed with flavor, and easily worth trying if you're in the area.

For food, my buddy got the tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't one of those cartoonishly dinosaur-sized portions you see at some places, but he said it was really tasty and well worth it. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with garlic aioli, and it hit the spot. The burger was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were perfectly seasoned, and the bun was toasted (always a nice bonus). Even the fries were perfectly crispy. All in all, I was very pleased with the meal. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu!
