Potpie's owned a spot on my list for date nights for years. My wife and I have celebrated special…read moreoccasions there many times. We went to celebrate for our anniversary this week. This was the first time going as a party of three as we brought our toddler. The food was as good as ever. It's so hard to choose an entree other than the potpie, but I always want to because the entrees other than the potpie sound and look so delicious. We ordered good appetizers: a white bean hummus and salmon cakes. I'd recommend both of those if you have those options on the rotating menu. While they have high chairs and the staff was so patient with our toddler who was mostly well behaved but got a little restless, my wife and I struggled to keep him entertained in the quaint and cozy space. I think next time we're going to look at the takeaway, cook at home potpie dinner option. I didn't know they offered that until this visit.

I loved the quaint atmosphere of this little spot. The staff was very friendly, and everything we had was delicious. Of course, at a place called Pot Pie, I had to try the Chicken Pot Pie -- and it was incredibly filling and packed with flavor. I definitely recommend everyone check this place out and experience it for themselves!

I was completely in love with the Caesar…read moresalad--and learning that both the dressing and the croutons are made fresh in-house (not packaged!) made it even better. You can truly taste the difference in the freshness and quality. I also loved finding out that the menu rotates weekly, which means there's always something new to try. I'd definitely recommend stopping in regularly to check out what's being served. So far, my favorites are the Caesar salad and the tuna melt--both were outstanding. And honestly, there's no way you can find food this tasty at this price anywhere else. Amazing food, amazing value, and an even better mission behind it! Highly recommend!

The chefs cook tasty food with love, experience, and care and every purchase supports much needed mental health care, food assistance, and other neighborhood needs. You have to try their signature fried chicken sandwich. It is amazing! Items are seasonal and rotate frequently. I also tried the seasonal gumbo and it was wonderful. The employees are friendly, supportive of community, and promote a sense of inclusion and dignity. A wonderful Kansas City cafe!

Updating review to include new location…read more The new location is amazing! Current menu is incredible (as always) We had the crab dip and potato beignet's to start. Both were incredible and devoured rapidly (we had two 17 year olds with us ) I had the steak and potatoes and the wife had the rigatoni dish. Again, amazing. The atmosphere is lively and the decor is very well done. Scratch is in our rotation of go-to restaurants in the metro for a reason. The staff, as usual, were prefect in every way. Special shout out to our server, Thomas! Enjoy

At the end, we got the most decadent desert I've ever had HANDS DOWN! It was this soccer ball sized giant chocolate shell where hiding under it was a brownie and ice cream. Then the server drizzled this warm chocolate sauce onto the chocolate shell. Then my wife started munching. Then... We scraped the plate.

The standard, chipotle wrap and sausage breakfast sammie all have been mastered. The lunch sandwiches are epic too. Personal favorite being the turkey Swiss with cranberry dijionaise. And the kicker is my sweet grandma's name was Mildred, and she was always so happy and insisted on feeding everyone. Its downtown spot is a staple for us, my son and partner all love it. Getting it again today! (Had it yesterday as well). PS they have Irish coffee, great branding, all around the winner.

Everything was made to perfection and wrapped with care. It was just what we wanted and tasted so good. We will be back!!

First let me say I have loved Lu Lu's for approximately 20 years. They are honestly one of my…read morefavorite restaurants in Kansas City, not Thai places, just of all the fantastic ethnic food and bbq we dazzle with, that being said I'm really disappointed that the last 3-5 times I've ordered my spice level requests has been egregiously ignored. Not sure why this change has taken place as this is a common pattern with much lesser Thai restaurants, and that's something I always respected and boasted about to visitors when I took them to Lu Lu's, they did NOT play when it came to the spice level, the servers told you upfront exactly what was coming your way and you got it as promised! I depended on them during allergy season when I was out of Flonase or it didn't work, to help me breathe, fire, if nothing else. Case in point, tonight I ordered three different spice levels from the hottest to medium, none of them had ANY spice to them. Delicious yes, but seriously where did the heat go? Disappointed again. Can't breathe still. Lu Lu why you gotta do me like that!?!?!

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.

I ordered the salmon salad from Russell through DoorDash while staying in a hotel, and the food…read moreitself was really good. The highlight was the salmon. It was a full, nicely cooked piece with great flavor, not a small portion tossed in as an afterthought. The salad had fresh greens, avocado, egg, and plenty of nuts and toppings that made it feel filling and well put together. My only issue was the packaging. The salad container was left fully open inside the bag, and the bag was stapled shut. I did not realize there were staples and cut my hand opening it. Because I was in a hotel and had put a few small items in the bag, they ended up falling right onto the exposed salad when I opened it. For delivery orders, a closed container and a safer seal would make a big difference. Food quality was excellent though, and I would order again, just hoping for better delivery packaging next time.

Potbelly's is actually surprisingly one of my go-to sandwich shops in my area. I remember…read moretravelling to Chicago and there were Potbelly's everywhere, even in the airport, then boom-bam-thank-you-ma'am one popped up on the Country Club Plaza and has been slapping together sandwiches ever since. Now maybe it's the nostalgia of family vacations to the wild world of Chicago or maybe it's my affliction to anything in sandwich form but, I can't get enough of Potbelly's and it definitely doesn't have to do with the name but, may or may not have to do with the Zapps chips as an option for combos (the superior tier of chips of course.) Now here's the one gripe with this location it can get crowded around lunchtime, it also sometimes closes early (still not sure why on this) however, if you use the app to mobile order you get points and your sandwich is usually ready by the time you find parking and walk there, so that's a win/win. I also kind of love their loyalty/rewards program it is pretty easy to get perks from the app. On my last visit it was November 3rd, which if you didn't know is National Sandwich Day, and I decided to meet two family members who work on the Plaza. I ordered our offerings before we met around 12:30 through the app and got BOGO sandwiches. After placing two orders we ended up with 4 full sized sandwiches for around $20 which, for the size and the sandwiches we each ended up with, we thought was a steal. My brother went for the pizza melt, my mom got the chicken club and I got the turkey avocado to eat there at lunch and then the new pastrami to go. All of us were extremely satisfied and when we arrived at 12:30 we only had to wait about 5 minutes for our order but, it is to be noted it was very busy due to the holiday that day. I have also enjoyed their salads from here, my mother has had soup and Mac n Cheese before as well. And, I have tried many other sandwiches on the menu such as the classic Wreck, which is their most famous sandwich piled high with multiple meats and The Mediterranean sandwich which has hummus, chicken and feta, all have been very fresh and delicious . They also have lighter options, with smaller portion sizes, and a way to order your sandwich where they will hollow out the bread for less carbs.
