Love the concept of this space. Similar to strang hall over in OP, but a much younger/vibrant crowd. Definitely more of a late night bar than strang. Decent food if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. We got the vegetarian sliders and truffle fries. They're small but lots of flavor. They had a few vintage clothing vendors one night which I loved. Not a place I would seek out necessarily for food, but always a good option when you've been drinking downtown and get hungry but don't want to go dine in somewhere. read more

Parlor - Veggie burger sliders and truffle fries - Food Court Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Says open til midnight, but at 10 pm all the food options were closed. Only the bar is open. :( Response to owner's response - I think the solution is to change your listing to make it clear that your bar hours are different from the food hours. Otherwise there will continue to be people like me who wasted their time to come to your location. If you solve the problem with your listing I'll remove my review, no problem. Also I did phone Yelp and talked with a rep as this is a problem we had with another place the same night. Kitchen closes early? Okay so then it should show up as a Bar at those hours but not as a Restaurant that is Open Now. Unfortunately it was a frustrating first experience of Kansas City. read more

I purchased food from the below places in Parlor - Ravenous - Hungry Hatch I've always been a fan of the environment in Parlor KC! Super cute and spacious. Different areas to sit depending on your vibe. Food has never hit the spot for me here. The only thing I have found to be delicious each time is tater tots from Ravenous! My friend ordered from Hungry Hatch and her meal was a shrimp taco and curry chicken taco. Her words " Shrimp was good, but nothing special. The chicken had a decent kick to it. Overall I wouldn't try the meal out again though. I can make this at home" I'm giving it 4 stars for the day parties, events, and bar environment. read more

We so enjoy this concept! Love that you can try different offerings from great local eats. A variety of offerings to choose from! Love all the various setting options but our favorite is the upstairs screened in patio!! They text you when your food is ready for pick up and the upstairs & downstairs bars are fabulous. It's great food, great vibe and a fun experience all in one read more

I'm visiting KC for the weekend and Parlor was the perfect place to go for my first night in town! It's a huge place and they have something for everyone. They have a great system where you can spread out and go wherever and then you just get a text when your food is ready and you can go grab it. There are both indoor and outdoor options for seating and you seat yourself. The service was awesome and the drinks were super yummy. Definitely a great place for a quality drink and bite to eat. I would definitely want to come back next time I'm in town! read more

I love food halls and highly recommend for groups because everyone can likely find something they enjoy! Their prices are pretty reasonable and I have never had trouble finding seating between the two floors and outdoor seating.

Parlor is one of my favorite places to hangout in small or large groups. They have a full service bar and so many food options to choose from. They have a variety of seating choices from tables, to high tops, to couches. They even have outdoor seating as well. The staff is all very friendly and they truly want you to have the best experience while you're there. Next time you're in KC or need a good, classy, relaxing, but fun filled environment give Parlor a try! read more

Think sophisticated food court. A taste for everyone in an ambiance that surpasses the mall food court. Large bar on the bottom floor snd multiple food kiosks on second floor. read more

Awesome place! The bars are amazing and the food all looked great! We had Greek and the guys that worked there were so friendly! The food was absolutely amazing!! Looking at the food of other people around us... we will definitely have to go back because it ALL looked good! Awesome place to hang out on the weekend or after work one evening! read more

Ambiance: Came here for dinner with a group of friends and had a decent time. It's a galley/food court style place with numerous restaurants you can order from and eat communally. There are different restaurants on each floor so make sure to scope all your options, and seating is first-come first serve so maybe have someone reserve a table if you have a big group. When we came, there was a DJ playing good music however it was pretty loud and echo-y which made talking across a table very difficult. They do have a patio however it is reserved for private parties. Food: I got the slideshow sliders option and really enjoyed it. There was a snafu where someone grabbed my order because they were very similar so I had to wait for them to make a new order of Korean fries. The sliders however were all excellent with juicy smash patties. The truffle mushroom was my favorite with an amazing savory flavor while the Hawaiian pulled pork could've done with a stronger pineapple flavor. The Korean fries were fun but I was hoping for more heat like a spicy gochujang sauce or hot kimchi but it's mostly savory ground beef with a sriracha-like mayo. The fries are larger cut and get soggy somewhat quickly with the topping so don't wait too long to eat them. Be warned the fries are pretty hefty and can easily be shared among 2-3 people or eaten alone as a meal. Overall this is pretty fun and trendy place to visit that lets people pick their own food adventure. It may be difficult to hold deep conversations if you're in a big party given how echo-y the place is but otherwise definitely worth a try. read more

Bottom Line: A great local experience and maximizes options for those that have difficulty choosing one thing to eat or for those that want to provide something for multiple people's palates. Whether it's chicken, taco, Asian, or just need a semi-casual/sophisticated bar scene, "Parlor," is your place to start. Venue: two floors with multiple options of food. Ranging from tacos to modern take on chicken wings to small-plated Asian food, this place has it all. It also has two fully-staffed bars with TV screens for those looking to just hang out. There are plenty of seats and tables to accommodate multiple parties. It may get a little noisy but it's manageable. Bathrooms are clean and it's really clean-your-own-mess as you go. read more

Loved the vibe of this place! It was like a hip and trendy food court.

Parlor is a great hangout - and they have a real cute upstairs outdoor patio with plenty of socially distanced seating. Atmosphere: super chill, many different types of food in different stalls - Korean, pizza, fried chicken, sushi, etc. you order food online Food/drinks: I had the Korean japchae (glass noodles) with beef from Sura eats - the beef was soo delicious and well-seasoned! Slightly oily at the finish, but I didn't mind too much. Cocktails were fun! Try the barista specials - just tell him what type of drink you like and they'll make it custom for you! Service: here's where we drop a notch - ordering is online, and we were texted that someone would bring our food to us. We waited 30 mins and no news, so we went to check on our food. The people at Sura said it was ready for a long time, and that they weren't bringing food out (which is fine for COVID, but we would've really appreciated if someone even texted that it was ready). I don't mind picking up my food, just give me a text letting me know it's ready! Overall, great place with lots of choices. Great place to bring a group. read more

The Parlor is one of my favorite place to go for happy hour, brunch, dinner, or even to just grab some drinks at the bar. With 6 different restaurants/stands to order your food from, nobody in your party can say they didn't find something they liked. Tacos, Mother Clucker chicken, sliders, bibimbap, noodles, rice, and more! I'm a huge fan of the Mac & Cheese stand. I like to order the Mac & Cheese with Honey Serrano Glazed Chicken Strips. Highly recommend coming for brunch to sip on their bottomless mimosa and Bloody Mary special! read more

What a great spot in KC! This is one of my favorite place to go with groups because there is so many good options available to make everyone happy! It is food court style and I have found the food at most places to be ready fairly quickly. They have a great outside patio deck upstairs that has a lot of seating and is available to rent out for larger group events. read more

This is the most posh indoor food market I've been to. Plenty of different seating and ambience options. We chose the patio out back and it has a great view. The food is more expensive than the rest of the city, but pretty good. We got there early and not every restaurant was ready to serve but found gluten free options. The one recommendation I would give is that the restaurants who are near the 1st floor bathrooms never rush out and slam the door open. I almost caught that door with someone rushing out but I dodged out of the way. Dangerous hallway read more

Super cool place to hang with all your friends! They have manyyyy food vendors to choose from so there's something for everybody. There's a bar upstairs and downstairs. During spring/ summer time you can sit upstairs outside the patio. Mother Clucker is my go to in there. Their chicken tenders are sooo juicy and not dry at all, also love their fries! Service takes a little bit of time, but they'll ask for a number and you can grab a drink while you wait. Def a hit for the when you want to get together with a bunch of ppl! read more

Nice food hall near other breweries, with it's own selection of cocktails and beer. We ate at Sidos and Sura Eats, but there were 5 other options from burgers to fried chicken to pizza. There's a patio outside on the upstairs level, but it was too hot for us to enjoy so we stayed inside. We went for lunch and it was not busy, but have come in the evening and it's been too busy to get a drink, let alone food. read more

Parlor - Sura Eats and Sidos - Food Court Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Came here with a group and this place had all the makings of a cool spot, unfortunately, some of the food vendors were so understaffed we ended up waiting almost an hour for our food at what is advertised to be a quick service type of spot. Waiting an hour for your food anywhere is a no for me, especially gas station style tacos. At one point we asked if we could just get a refund on our order (food wasn't cheap) and be done with it, the people working at the booth told us no- they seemed pretty indifferent about the length of time customers were waiting and I watched them continue to take new orders without advising on the wait. Wanted to have a better feeling about this place but probably wouldn't come back because of the service. read more

Parlor is THE indoor place to see and be seen in the Kansas City Crossroads Arts District. It's the perfect spot for any group - from a workweek lunch with coworkers to weekend hangs with friends, and friends of friends. The vibe at Parlor is lively and on trend. I can't be in a bad mood at Parlor, it's just too bright, energetic, and poppin'. Kansas City's hottest food hall, Parlor has 7 restaurants and 2 bars including: Buns Up, Mother Clucker, Farm to Market Sandwich Co, Karbon, Mudbug 2.0, Providence Pizzeria, and Sura Eats. While Mother Clucker's chicken is truly melt-in-your-mouth good, there are days I find myself craving Sura Eats' spicy pork BIBIMBAP bowl. My mouth waters just thinking about Providence Pizzeria's cheesy masterpieces. And the Farm to Market sandwiches look divinely fresh. I haven't had the pleasure of trying or seeing food from the other spot yet, but I have no doubt they are worthy competitors. Parlor can get pretty busy at peak times, but I have yet to not be able to find a place to put myself. From lounge spaces, bar seating, booths, tables, drink rails, and tiered seating for watching "the game," there's as much seating for every group as there is types of food. My favorite place to sit is the upstairs outdoor patio - even in the cold it's busy and warm with heaters. Staff is friendly and attentive. There is a front receptionist to help you out if it's your first time or you have questions. Once you've made the very difficult decision of where to eat, order at the respective counter, they will take your phone number and text you when your food is ready. In the meantime, head to the bar and order a drink. By the time you grab a drink at the bar and find a seat for your group you should get the text that your food is ready to be picked up from the counter your ordered at. Food and drinks aren't too cheap or too expensive - my point is, your tab can get up there if you're not careful. Parlor hosts Karaoke Night Monday's from 7-10pm, KC Crew Cornhole League Sunday's at 5pm and Tuesday's at 7pm, Geeks Who Drink Thursday's at 8pm, and live music every Friday and Saturday nights. They also have an event space for rent below! Check it out for yourself! read more

This is a great spot to go with friends or on a date because there is multiple cuisines here and multiple bars.

This place is cute but the food/drinks are ok. Its giving school cafeteria for adults

We were in the Crossroads neighborhood checking out First Fridays and picked Parlor for dinner because of the variety of choices. "Modern food hall on 3 levels offering a variety of casual & creative dining options, plus 2 bars." While all the food choices were delicious, there was nowhere to sit. I mentioned to the hostess, trying not to be "Karen", that there were several larger tables with only one person seated, drinking a beer and reading a book, oblivious to the fact that there were many people walking around with full plates of food looking for a seat. By the time my party of 4 stood at a small bar, staring at a wall while eating, I'm pretty sure the place was over capacity. Food was good, but we won't return. read more

Love the concept! We generally do the progressive dinner thing here (or any food hall) because we can't order from just one kitchen. Definitely a better spot for a date night, gathering with friends, or a girls night out spot. Of the current tenants, one of our go-tos is always mother Clucker. The fried chicken is delicious, with a heat that still has flavor. We generally get a lower heat because my husband doesn't do spice, but this is a spice he can do! Recently tried taco tank and really liked it! We had heard mixed reviews, and finally tried it for ourself. Of the three tacos we tried, we both really liked the flavor of the chicken the best. The garlic sauce on the carnitas taco was a solid paring though! read more

I like this space! Lots of couches, tables, chairs and space to spread out. The vibe is very relaxed - you can be sitting at the bar and never feel like you are in a food parlor (food court). We ordered from Providence Pizza - had the Little Rhody and would say it was excellent! Great flavor combinations. We ordered an old fashioned from the bar downstairs and even though it was on tap, it was a decent drink. It felt a little weird not to have the bartender involved, but I guess it also takes the guesswork out of your drink. We will return! read more

This place is insanely cool!!! We went with a group of 8 on a Friday night at about 7 pm - they had live music and many tables open. I loved the moment when I walked in and it was just a "wow....." Factor. There are many couches and a very homely feel right when you walk in. From there it goes into a long bar on the side with tables at the back with 3 different restaurants at the back. Then a huge staircase up the center to go into 5 more options for dinner and a bar down at the very end of the upstairs area. Choices are excellent. I ended up getting the sandwich and fries from mother clucker (to absolutely die for....) super impressed. And hubs got a noodle bowl and a skewer from a place downstairs. This will for suuuuure be a go to place If we have friends in town or want a super spiffy date night!! read more

Parlor - Koren BBQ fries - Food Court Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I love this concept! There's several restaurants inside the 2-story building. Seating is all around, and it's seat yourself. We went around 6pm on a Saturday, and while it was busy, none of the lines were more than 5 people deep. Some places didn't have lines at all. We wandered around to look at all the menus. There's a good variety: pizza (that looked incredible), hot fried chicken, Korean, Japanese, Mexican fusion, sliders, sandwiches, etc. I decided on Sura, which was the Korean place. I've been really enjoying Bibimbap in general lately so that's what I ordered from Sura, beef bibimbap. It didn't take but maybe 10 minutes for my food to be ready. They take your phone number and text you when it's ready. I grabbed some gochujang and what I think was sesame oil and found a table. My food was really good! The pieces of beef were pretty large and everything was seasoned really well. I really enjoyed the gochujang and oil being mixed in. Mine was $12 I think and well worth it. It was a ton of food! My husband went to the slider place, Buns Up. He got the 4 sliders and loaded tator tots. For the sliders, he got the midwestern, the classic, and the 2 black & blue sliders. He says the beef was good quality. The buns were nice, and the condiments were good. The slider with blue cheese had an entire slice of blue cheese. He liked it a lot because crumbles would have fallen off the burger but the slice didn't because it melted to the burger. The tator tots was a large portion with nacho-type cheese, some sort of secret sauce and caramelized onions. This could have been a meal by itself. I had a little bit of this and really enjoyed it. There are bars throughout the place that have the same drink menu. My husband got a Tessellation IPA which was really citrusy. It was $6.50, which is a little pricey but could be worse. Overall, we will be coming back because we really enjoyed the food and there's still several other restaurants we haven't tried. Plus it is extremely close to CrossroadsKC which is usually our reason for coming to Kansas City in the first place. Definitely recommend! read more

Excellent ambiance as I felt I was in Manhattan in NYC. Great drinks and overall vibe....a MUST for cocktails when I am back home in KC

I held an event at Parlor, and Justin, the event coordinator, was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely flexible during the planning process and on the night of the event. The bartenders, Liz and Angelina, were also great. They treated our group exceptionally well - highly recommend hosting events at Parlor! They made the night a great success. read more

I have officially today have tried every restaurant in The Parlor!!! Every restaurant and every dish that I have tried some more than once haha was excellent!!! Not one time did I have a bad experience! Not one time did I encounter a staff member that was rude. Not one time was I ever disappointed!!! I think my favorite was the Muther Clucker sandwich, the Detroit style pizza, the tacos and the chicken Mac & cheese! So yummy!!! read more

I enjoy parlor each time that I come. It's a nice atmosphere, with the most amazing balcony/patio that you can enjoy no matter the weather. . . This is the perfect date spot because everyone can order what they want to eat given the variety of restaurants. . . Also, if you go let Tuesday (that's her name) make you a drink. Omg, she makes an amazing cocktail. . . Everyone is very friendly and this is a good spot to come to often. read more

What a great concept! You can find hundreds of restaurants with good food and decent service around KC and surrounding areas - but Parlor brings the unique. One large venue hosts small rentable counter restaurants, almost like a giant indoor food truck scene. Local owners creating their favorite cuisine with personal twists left and right. They have a full bar on both levels with great food options on both. You can walk around and everyone in your party can find SOMETHING they like. No doubt. We visited Sura, the Korean grill and Karbón, a mix of Turkish and Mexican flavors and concepts. (Menu in my pictures). Rachel, the owner of Karbón, helped me understand her menu, the spice level of her meals, and combining them well with her different sauces - even with a few people behind me! Very helpful. read more

Parlor adds something hip AF to the east side of the Crossroads; a food hall with seven unique spots, a rooftop patio, a bar, loads of TVs, and a fresh energy. I was excited when I heard about this concept as many other cities have spaces like this. What's most intriguing is that there are such unique food options in here. You've got hand made noodles alongside savory Japanese pancakes at Yaki-Ya. Who knew there was a 'Detroit-style' pizza? I didn't, but Providence Pizza slings a delicious looking one. Scandinavian eats, Farm-to-Market sandwiches, on and on. This feels like the perfect spot on a sunny afternoon to come down and grab a drink with friends. If I'm honest, as someone with a toddler this won't call me as much as it would've ten years ago, but that's alright because it's got a wide appeal for many. I only popped in and explored it by walking around and grabbing photos, but I've got a date with that rooftop patio in the near future. read more

Visiting KC for the first time and this spot was recommended and did not miss. The variety of food choices were great and the atmosphere was nice, the live DJ was on point along with the bartenders. For a casual evening or date night this is a nice place that's not too expensive. read more

The Parlor is such a brilliant idea. Multiple restaurants and a bar on every floor. The drinks are expensive, they are strong as well....but still a little over priced. It was the perfect day to sit outside on the patio and enjoy refreshing drinks. My view overlooked the artistic side of KCMO. This is my second time visiting the parlor and the main reason I came back was for a Mother Clucker Sandwich. As I was waiting for it I saw food from other restaurants around me from pizza to quesadillas all of the food looked amazing. This is a great place to come whether your alone or with a group of people. read more

I'm totally digging the Parlor's food court bar on steroids concept, with plenty or seating and lounging areas scattered throughout the two story renovated brick building, it's the perfect place for hanging out with friends, catching up on your Yelp reviews, or just chilling on the rooftop patio. It host plenty of screens, decent WiFi, and seven different food options to satisfy your snacking appetite (see photos for all 7 menus). I mentioned there was a fully stocked bar, right? I checked out the Providence Pizza stromboli and wasn't disappointed. They hand roll the dough and bake up a delicious combo of Italian meats with a side of sauce for dipping. It was pretty tasty. If you're looking for a cool, hip place to meet friends for a happy hour, catch the game, or connect up before the next big concert, the Parlor should definitely make your short list. However, a word of caution if you are no longer in your twenties, just because it looks like you can sit in it doesn't necessarily mean you should. Sit responsibly or you may struggle to get back up - and that wouldn't be very hip and cool. read more

Think: food trucks inside. If you're disappointed with the food options, then you're just not trying. Or there is no pleasing you. Or both. Down in the Crossroads a caldera of food choices are housed in a two-floor space called Parlor (I think I've seen it as 'ParlorKC' as well as 'The Parlor'). A very welcoming and current style of decor and furnishings is spread across both floors, with a mix of seating and table options. Two full bars, one up, one down, serve an extensive drink menu with a fair array of draft and bottled beer options. Wine drinker? You're in luck, because it's nicely appointed beyond your normal social gathering options (i.e., Merlot or Chardonnay?) and a very friendly happy hour highlights the drink of the day, discounted and hand-crafted. So it is a food court, per se, and not your mall-style fare (sit down, Sbarro). The range of offerings go from friend chicken/other chicken, Japanese pancakes (okonomiyaki - say that three times fast), Scandinavian street food (I had no idea they even had streets), Korean, and of course, pizza. I've tried the chicken from Mother Clucker (I like Nashville hot style, and this delivers) and I've had the glass noodle bowl from Sura (rice noodle salad with spicy pork, beef, or tofu), found myself either a table or a seat at the bar, and enjoyed every moment in this atmosphere. I intend to be back for Providence Pizza very soon. So how does it flow? You choose what you want from seven food types, give a number, find a place that you want to sit/perch, and they'll text you when ready. It's urban chic meets foodie meets mobile tech, and the results are pretty fantastic. A multi-season deck/open area will give rise to outdoor experiences popping up. Fair warning: parking, of course, can suck, but it can get really busy in here, as in, elbow to elbow, especially around the 5:00 hour and on weekends. Once the weather warms, First Friday's will amp up the crowds, too. It's another great option in the Crossroads, an area mushrooming with outstanding patios, bars, dining, and culture and Parlor only augments this great scene. read more
