In the area Saturday for breakfast and it was the highest rated non-chain restaurant on Yelp. Great choice. When we got there it was busy but we got seated right away. Coffee and complimentary cinnamon rolls right after we were seated. Service was very good and very friendly. Only small issue was wait time after we ordered but by the time we left, the line to get in was out the door and around the corner. So a little wait was worth the breakfast burrito I got with a side biscuits and gravy. Very good breakfast. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

I really like this place. Very home town feel, great welcome, and Jackie was fantastic as my server today. Always a smile, good conversation and very attentive to the coffee refills and checking on the meal. I did not realize that everyone gets a free cinnamon roll when you sit down and it was a damn good cinnamon roll to boot. Warm, soft, squishy dough with a nice slight crusty top of icing went perfect with my first cup of coffee. Coffee was good, no bitter and very hot each time served. I ordered the Spinach, Bacon, Tomato omelette and country diced potatoes. The omelette was great. It was almost like a crepe of egg (thin) wrapped around all the ingredients, topped with a generous portion of diced bacon. Bacon lovers rejoice with this omelette! The potatoes were great, seasoned ever slightly as to not be bland and were cooked perfect with a nice crust and soft inner. I chose a fruit cup which had a nice select of pineapple, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and grapes, all fresh and not mushy. The decor is great with a lot on every wall to keep yourself busy while waiting for your food (which doesn't take long). Good 'ol Americana is right here and I'd gladly come back on my next trip for a good simple breakfast. They have a lot of options however and have a great looking lunch menu I will have to try next time. Thanks for a great morning Jackie! 5 stars read more

Everything about the lil gem of a restaurant is awesome! It's been around forever! I grew up in LSMO and moved away- whenever I come back to town, we always make an attempt to stop by. read more

Covid-Times review! Went here on a Wednesday morning when the restaurant wasn't quite busy yet. They did a great job spacing tables to feel comfortable inside. Sit down and expect some cinnamon roles. Did I know this was a thing, no. Did I enjoy it, yes! I split the eggs Benedict with my companion for the day. The entree came with a side and we ordered extra crispy hash browns (at the suggestion of a great server). The eggs Benedict was one of the best I've had in a while. The egg was a bit over but still was a bit runny. Now the crunchy hasbrowns were amazing. Great breakfast place for sure in a great part of Lee's Summit downtown. read more

This has been our diner for year. My father before he passed open it with the bakers and coffee. It was the first place that I took ALL of my children and the last place I called when my father passe. This has been a second, third and even fourth generation experience for all of us. Thank you for the memories. Could not do this without your support and love throughout Papa's life, Sue's life, Don's love and so many others that were at the round table blessing the food and making our an amazing place to live and eat. Blessing during fires and so much more love. read more

It's local home style food that is always amazing, the servers, cooks and owners are awesome. The diner has pictures of local heroes that are not with us anymore and old newspapers on the walls that have famous points in American history. It's just a great place to be. read more

Excellent breakfast and service! Busy time but they were able to seat out large group quick.

Fantastic experience. Was served perhaps the best omelette of my life. I've been desperate to find "the" breakfast spot in this area and the search is over. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Excellent food with a small town, home cooked feel. They have an amazing selection of pies for dessert. Prices are great!

The breakfast tacos are DELICIOUS!!! Great service! Glad we have this diner close to us!

Outstanding service and food! Just what you would expect from a neighborhood cafe! Prices are very affordable! We highly recommend this place! read more

Great portions. Great service. Free cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Will go back 100

I really wanted to love this place. The servers were friendly and fast. Unfortunately my food was cold I had the French toast special scrambled eggs. I can eat tepid French toast but I cannot eat cold scrambled eggs and they were cold. My husband had and omelet and the thickness kept it a little lukewarm. The restaurant had a nice crowd but not full. Seems like a lot of regulars and clean plates. I'm going to pass. read more

Loved this place. Looks so small outside and in front entrance. Inside was a large gathering in back. Loved the wait staff has awesome shirts with state map and one even said "Let it roll". You get a cinnamon roll before you order any food. It was delicious and filling. Staff was kind you can order food and a pie to go. If I return to KC would definitely go back. Family atmosphere. read more

Although this place was more packed than usual, because of Fathers' Day, it was totally worth the wait! Not only was the food great as always, but I want to compliment the staff, in particular our server, April. My daughter has severe food allergies, which makes trying new places a challenge. Not only did April promise to speak directly with the cooks to convey the seriousness of our issue, but since my daughter couldn't enjoy a cinnamon roll, our server brought her some fruit so she wouldn't feel left out. Thanks Neighbor Cafe, you continue to impress and April went completely above and beyond for our family!!! read more

This is a decent spot for all types of breakfast items. Today I had the pulled pork eggs Benedict. It is different. It has coleslaw and pulled pork under the eggs. The entrance is hidden. Upon arrival we accidentally walked into the restaurant next door thinking we were coming to this place. If you like traditional American breakfast places, give this a try. read more

Today was the first time we have been here as we live quite a distance away. Everything was great, including the all you can eat chicken special, chicken fried chicken with the wonderful homemade corned beef soup, and the eggs Benedict. The free cinnamon rolls you get when you sit down are even more tough to discipline yourself on than chips and salsa at Mexican places. Our server was attentive, efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back again. read more

If you want a great breakfast without all the fuss and frills, this is your place. I have never been disappointed when eating here and the free hot and gooey cinnamon rolls that come out before your food comes sweeten things up too. read more

Definitely going back! Home cooking at its finest. Staff is super friendly. They provided warm cinnamon rolls on the table shortly after seated- ooey gooey goodness. We had the Garbage Can and breakfast tacos. We'll be returning to try some dinner menu items. read more

We love the pies here!!! Excellent quality and our faves are the whole blackberry pie ($12) and the Gooseberry- perfect to bring to dinner with friends. Yum yum. We've often come in for afternoon coffee and pie. Delicious!!! read more

We had heard such great things about this place, and being new to the area, we decided to try it out. My wife's food was cold and my waffle tasted like dirty oil. The service, however, was great and we did like the homey feel of the place. read more

Best spot in downtown lees Summit. I recommend the chicken and waffles because my wife Tammy hates them. She's an awful woman and she ruined my life but neighborhood cafe makes me feel a little better. read more

Not a place you think of when you need to get in-and-out in an hour at noon on the weekday, but, next time you do, think of this place, because they did just that. My friend and I came here at about 12:10, and he needed to be back at work at 1. The service was friendly, PROMPT, and our food was very good (except for the sweet potato tots, which tasted a bit artificial, but you can't win 'em all). I got the chicken and waffles, and the fried chicken was so large that I need a steak knife to cut through, but it was still tender and not heavily breaded. I didn't think adding bacon and cheese to a chicken waffle sandwich (in presentation) would work, but after I took off one of the waffle pieces, it was very good and filling. Bonus? We were out of there by 12:50. So if you need quick service and a good lunch, stop by this neighborhood cafe! read more

Neighborhood Cafe - Chicken and waffles (...and bacon and cheese sandwich). Worth every bite. - American Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Ok, let's take it from the top. Cinnamon rolls are free. They're super dry, little chalky, but hey. They're free. Orange juice tasted like it was fresh squeezed from oranges that had been left out back for 2 weeks. No kids menu, so 2 $7 waffles it was. Turns out they were so tough it took a knife to get through them. Biscuits were also very dry and chalky, omelette was bland. Service was fine and friendly, so at least there's that. This may be the most disappointing stop I've had. What happened between the good reviews and today?! read more

Yes! This place is a gem. Love the feel of neighborhood cafe and the food never disappoints!

This place is a standard of Lees Summit. Seems everyone has been here at one time or another. It is as stated a neighborhood cafe and they know what they are and how to do it. Certainly not fancy but a warm welcome young yet attentive servers. If you have to wait to get seated they offer you coffee while waiting. When you sit down you are given warm tasty cinnamon roll. Whatever breakfast item you choose will be hot and taste good. Great value, good food and great people. read more

This cafe is a fun dive in Lee's Summit. I have been going to this restaurant for 30 years and watched settle changes happen as new owners took over again and again. If you want a massive omelet, homemade rolls and a dive atmosphere this is your place. Service is fun and friendly. Free cinnamon rolls come to your table while you wait for your food. My only critics are the *cinnamon rolls come out hot sometimes and cold others. Normally good but sometimes dry (day old feel). *The rolls are GREAT when homemade but sometimes they are different and appear store bought. *The walk to the bathroom takes you right through the window where food is placed before serving. I'm surprised this is allowed food safety wise- it's been that way forever but is awkward and can be a health hazard. *And in the winter the windows seats can be very cold and drafty. Overall it is what it is and a place I pick to grab brunch with my family. read more

This wonderful cafe serves the same great food time after time at such a reasonable prices! The service received on every visit completes the reasons why we back time and time again! read more

This restaurant is a staple in LS. We went for the first time ages a month ago. They still have the classic, delicious cinnamon rolls that they bring out (you could easily order more to take home). The breakfast menu is classic and I love their gravy! I did see that they now offer lox bagels. I am definitely ordering that on my next breakfast trip! read more

We love having breakfast here and everything we have ever ordered has been delicious. But yesterday we actually ordered take-out. We ordered a few burgers and fries and they were perfect. We'd definitely order to-go again. read more

This place has been a local staple for years and has the best breakfast in the area. We drove over to enjoy their amazing biscuits. First though, they seat you with free delicious cinnamon rolls. My wife had the chicken fried steak breakfast platter with scrambled eggs and hash browns, a biscuit and side of gravy. I had the prime rib breakfast burrito with sausage gravy and a biscuit Food and service were great. So much we each brought food home. Their gravy is homemade and a treat. Their biscuits are like a drug. We come here often I can't believe I've not reviewed it before. Make the trip to downtown Lees Summit read more

Great food great service great atmosphere for a neighborhood restaurant! Being downtown, Lee's Summit makes it seem more homey!

One of her favorite places for breakfast! Nice home cooking and wonderful cinnamon rolls

Did takeout for the first time at this location have been to the one off of Wornall and love that one but this Neighborhood cafe is not the same at all!! Got the bbq pork grill cheese was barely any cheese on it they used shredded cheese on the chili cheese fries and the other uses liquid cheese. Just very disappointed that they aren't the same at all. They both should be held to same standard! I drove 30 minutes too so highly disappointed. Also bought a second meal so I'd have one for later... do not recommend this location go to the one on Wornall! read more

This is a frequent breakfast delivery option for our household. The breakfast burrito always hits the spot - as do the various scrambles and omelettes they offer. The icing on the cake is the free cinnamon buns with each order. Can't wait to dine-in one of these days! read more

Extremely disappointed!!! After seeing and hearing good things I expected much better. To start out with if you have kids don't bother going they don't have a kids menu. The cinnamon rolls they give you were crazy dry I couldn't eat more than two bites. The kids ordered waffles that were also crazy dry and made it difficult to cut them into pieces and eat. We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

I've been coming to this place for years and haven't ever reviewed it. But, might as well! I have a hug sweet tooth, so starting off with free cinnamon rolls when you sit down is probably what keeps me coming back. I haven't eaten anything else but breakfast food here so can't speak to all of their food. They always have great coffee and great service. Sometimes the wait can be longer than expected on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but they usually move people through pretty quickly. Food is pretty tasty, normal breakfast food, nothing that really knocks my socks off, but feels like home cooked food. read more
