I seriously LOVE this place. The food is killer, the service is great and it's a versatile place - great for munchy bar food, date night or an anniversary dinner. The menu is expansive and the dessert - oh my! So many tempting choices! I'm a sucker for anything cheese and they had Brie on the menu. It's topped with a puff pastry, drizzle of honey and crushed pistachios and served with crackers and apple slices. I'll definitely be back just for this! I opted for the chicken club and it was great. The chicken breast was generous and topped with thick slices of bacon and melted cheese. The hubs went with the ribeye and it's nearly large enough for two. And hello fried Brussel sprouts and potatoes! I could have just taken a full plate of spouts! This is the only time I didn't save enough room for dessert. Oh well - guess I'll just have to go back! read more

We were a group of 10 with a reservation for a long table out of the way of the main room. When we got there we were seated in the bar at a curved booth with impossible seating for our group and is was so noisy we couldn't hear each other. We were moved to the main dining room which was a little quieter but we still couldn't hear each other. The cold wind blew in the door every time it was opened. Service was slow. The food was just ok, but overpriced. Several of the couples will not return. read more

Great food, great prices! Service was excellent, including the robot waiter! So much food we enjoyed it for three meals!

Food was AMAZING however, server had a bad attitude and didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Really just wasn't friendly and not welcoming in any way. Then I had left my purse in the booth and the woman who answered the phone claimed that they looked everywhere for it and said she didn't find it. We decided to go up anyway and there my purse was right there sitting in the booth. read more

We have been to Summit Grill perhaps 8-10 times in the past couple of years. We would probably go more frequently, but we live in 30+ minutes away. We go because of the ambience, service, and food quality. This visit didn't disappoint. We stayed on the Happy Hour menu this visit as we had a comedy show afterwards to attend. The calamari appetizer are steaks. So delicious. Prefer steaks over rings and tentacles. Though I do think there is a better sauce to pair with then marinara. My wife got the fish tacos. Good quality, needed more of an acid, like some fresh... perhaps a mango or pineapple salsa. I got the sliders and some fries. Sliders are what I expected. It would be nice to have more than one pickle slice per slider. The garlic truffle aioli for the fries was a wonderful condiment for the sliders. For me the aioli is too heavy so I gave up on it before my fries were gone. While we have personal preferences, we like this place and will continue to visit. We always try the food as the chef intended. As we try different menu items, we will be more forward with our preferences. Keep up the great product offering. read more

Came here while on a business trip. It was some of the best food I had in Independence. Highly recommend their desserts!

@summitgrillkc - Kansas City, MO (Waldo, Lee's Summit, Gladstone) Looking for a place for your next happy hour? Summit Grill has one of my favorite. Join them from 3-6pm any day to enjoy great priced cocktails, beer, and small bites Wings are a MUST! Staff is not always the most inviting or personable, however service is decently quick. That is my only complaint any time I have been here. Located near many other unique food spots and parking selection is pretty good. Bar area seating is what I would recommend for happy hour. Great place to meet friends or coworkers! Outdoor patio is available when warm. read more

The food and atmosphere of this place is just simply incredible. From the butter board, to the pot roast and fish and chips, you cannot go wrong here!! The only thing that could be seriously improved would be the service. I felt like for a restaurant this nice, the wait staff should not expect you to take the hot plate from their hands (helping them) to set your plate on the table. I also think that if you ask for something to go, that they should package the items and not just bring you an empty container to put the food in yourself. It's these things that really set a nice restaurant apart from a casual dining. The food and prices reflect one thing, but the service doesn't match up in my opinion. read more

I always have such an enjoyable dining experience at Summit Grill. We ordered their spinach and baby artichokes dip, the Atlantic grilled salmon, and for dessert the gooey butter cake. I have to say their spinach dip is top tier, one of the best I have had in the city. The salmon was nicely done as well, the sauce that came with it tied everything together. I had to add a little salt for my taste. Their gooey butter cake was really good warm with the ice cream. It was really sweet, I can't imagine someone finishing it alone. My espresso martini was good, I have had better. Our waitress was really great and our food came in really fast. read more

We got there on a Friday night around 7:30 with no reservation and got in in under 20 minutes, so that was pretty great especially since it was for my wife's and I anniversary. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful. The service was top notch all around. We started with the fried calamari. It was good. I thought the pieces were a bit large, which made them a tad chewy. My wife had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon and really enjoyed it. I had the Dry Rubbed Burger and also really enjoyed that. Both of our proteins were cooked perfectly. We ended with the Crème Brûlée, it was great! The bathroom needs some attention. It wasn't dirty by any means, it had a strange smell to it though. Overall we had a great dinning experience and would recommend to anyone. read more

Went online today and set a reservation for 9:00pm this evening. All good! At 8:45pm I receive a phone call from them saying the kitchen closes at 9:00. In other words they didnt want us there. Dont take a 9:00pm reservation if the kitchen closes at 9:00! Unacceptable we wont be back for a while! read more

Work brought me to KC, it was the luck of the draw where I stayed, and so was finding this place to eat! It is an amazing place, lots of people, the restaurant side was full, but they had a couple of tables available in bar side. Sat down and had a waitress taking my order in a few minutes! She stopped back and refilled my water glass almost as soon as it was empty!! Quite impressive considering the number of tables she was taking care of!! Her name was Samantha R!! Ordered the Tenderloin Beef Risotto... it was absolutely delicious!! I would highly recommend this! I was also greatly impressed that even with a full place, I was in and out within 45 minutes!! Would definitely recommend this place for dinner. read more

My go to lately here has been the fried chicken sandwich salad! The portion is huge and always last me atleast two meals. I have been purchasing curbside from this location lately because the process is easy. Their online order system is simple to use as when you get to the restaurant they have designated spots for curbside orders. All you have to do is call the phone number that is on your email receipt and let them know you are there and they bring it out when it's done! Tip: the time frame for your order to be completed seems to give them a big Grace period. I would suggest heading over after you order because your order most likely will be done quicker than the time frame given read more

After a very long break we returned to Summit Grill for our Valentine's Day dinner. Their special included a pre-fix menu of two salads/soups, 2 entrees and a dessert for $99.00 I love the salad dressings served by this restaurant group and ordered the house salad but requested blue cheese crumbles rather than the feta (and romano?) cheese that came with it. Delish! My mixed grill was really good too. My petite filet was cooked a perfect medium rare. My salmon was a bit overcooked. Fortunately, my friend Mari was working and she stopped to ask my our food was... REALLY???? I hated to say anything because they were sooooooo busy and the salmon wasn't awful. She insisted on having it redone and I'm so glad because I received a beautiful, cooked to a turn, piece of grilled salmon. It was moist and flavorful. The manager stopped by to check on us even though she was working at top speed running entrees to tables & taking care of other guests. Our table allowed us the vantage point of seeing plates as they came out of the kitchen. Not only was I impressed with seeing some of the really professional servers, like Mari, going the extra mile doing things like drying wet plates before taking them to customer's tables, but I enjoyed seeing the impressive plating. They had a full restaurant but the back of the house consistently did a beautiful job with beautifully plating the food. Our prior 'one star' experience here was before this manager was in charge and things seem to have turned around. Our dessert was delicious and so rich that sharing one was plenty! Finally, I'm not normally a martini girl and almost never order two drinks, but their chocolate raspberry martini's were so delish that I did. Garnished with 3 fresh raspberries and delectable. read more

My favorite is the pot roast grilled cheese sandwich omg! Just grown up childhood favorite x10! Love going for lunch with friends. I skip the fries they are the skinny kind. I always ask for a side of horseradish sauce the roast beef is heaven! I've always had nice service the wait staff are attentive an timely. It can be loud during their busy time. read more

Good food and drinks good people and the service is great! The food is served without a long wait.

I placed an order to go for last minute dinner. I tried their steak with Brussels sprouts and roasted potatoes that was outstanding! The steak was huge and perfectly cooked, sprouts and potatoes were crispy and well seasoned which is quite a feat for a to go order. I also got a side order of mac and cheese to eat for lunch the next day and it was delicious! The portions are generous, I had steak and potatoes left over for another dinner and had two lunches off the side order of mac. I have eaten at the restaurant and have attended catered events there, the decor is chic and modern with great mood lighting. Perfect for date night or a fun boozy girls night. I will be back for sure! read more

I had only been to Summit Grill one other time before my visit on Saturday. That time I had met up with some friends for a quick lunch and didn't really get a chance to peruse their menu. Let me just say this. If you have Brussel sprouts on your menu, I will try them. I did not start eating them until about 5 years ago and can't believe what I have been missing out on. And seriously, Summit Grill has the best I have ever had! Tender, flavorful and they serve it with I believe honey mustard which I never knew I needed in my life with brussel sprouts until now. I also ordered their fish and chips. It came with two giant cuts of fish and the breading was immaculate. Crispy, fresh, delicious! My only complaint, and please don't ever let this stop you from going to a restaurant, was their coleslaw. It was dry, no big deal. Also our waitress Ciara(I think that is the spelling) was and absolute angel. My wife is kind of picky with her food but very patient. Ciara understood this and actually went above and beyond in catering to her wishes and we were very, very grateful which was reflected in her tip. It is nice going places that have staff that do still care about the customer service! We will be back. read more

In Lee's Summit for a family funeral, I was looking for credible local cuisine and ran across Summit Grill. Glad I followed through. I was there on a weekday night and only chose from the Happy Hour menu, so realize that this is a somewhat slanted view. The ambience is very upscale but not stuffy. Good thing, as I was wearing cargo shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Muted tones, modern fixtures and furniture. All very classy, both bar and dining. The service was impeccable, despite the fact that they were running themselves ragged. I asked Allison, my server, about choices from the Happy Hour menu, and her recommendations were solid. And she checked on me several times, again despite the crush. I had a craft bourbon cocktail (the Horsefeather) which was well conceived and executed. The seared ahi tuna was superb. Great spice mixture and the fillings were fresh and generous. I should have stopped there. I gave in to whim and also ordered the fried calamari. I usually prefer grilled calamari, as that is a true test of a chef's knowledge and skill. Fried is an easy out. These fried calamari were actually pretty good and of a cut of calamari that is much larger than I am accustomed. It made me wonder if it was really calamari or one of those pork substitutes masquerading as calamari. Be that as it may, they were still tasty and not over cooked. Summit Grill is a smallish chain, but, if the Lee's Summit iteration is any indicator, they pay attention to detail and execution and put forth a quality product in a very pleasant setting with well trained staff. read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Wish I could eat here every meal. Wait staff is right on top of everything. read more

Lighting is way too dark. We were there during the day. That being said. Hummus starter was not impressive...THEN... I had the lobster stuffed salmon. They could have put my plate back in the cabinets. I cleaned it so well. It was so delicious. I was beyond full. But pushed it by saying yeah to dessert, OMG! Why?! Because it was amazing as well. All in all. Would do it again. read more

I stopped in to have a nice dinner with my family. I have been coming here for years but have not been in about a year. I ordered the Poutine for my sin while my wife ordered the blackened salmon salad and I had the Farmhouse Burger. The waiter was polite, knowledgeable, attentive and prompt. The wait time was a little long, almost 30 min after the order was placed for the food to show up. The waiter did apologize and explain the wait after about 15-20 min. My burger was good, seasoned well, moist and the portions were On point. I tried the salmon also a good meal and the poutine is always a must-have. read more

Reopening after COVID-19 Coming Back to Life No longer are masks required, some limiting of seating, sanitizing after each customer, and free WiFi for those who do not care to chat. Another "acid test" for a reopening from COVID-19 restrictions: Father's Day without a reservation! Entering the full parking lot on a sunny holiday, we knew there could be some challenges for the staff. I had called earlier and was told that there should not be any problem being a "walk in" around 3:00 pm. So at the hostess station when we were told "only if you have a reservation!" Luckily we snagged a manager who told us we should be seated in "around 10 minutes." 15 minutes later I spotted an opening table in the bar and asked if it could be bused for us. Soon we were seated. That was when the former Summit Grill came back to life. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. She agreed that they had the best Calamari in town, then suggested a very good wine match for my Fillet and for my wife's Lobster Stuffed Salmon. The Calamari showed up pretty quickly and was outstanding! As the appetizer plates were cleared our entrees were served - perfect timing and perfect preparation. The only thing lacking was a stomach stretcher causing us to skip one of their desserts. We will try to make up for that at a later date. The tab came in at a very reasonable $95 (including drinks and tax). Considering the level of the service, along with the quality and quantity of the food I was compelled to leave a very good tip. Understanding the tight local labor market in the industry, the rising prices all around, and the challenge of training new staff and bringing locked down staff back up to speed, Summit Grill is yet another success story in the area restaurants. read more

It is - how do you say - good food? *read in an Italian accent* My parents love this place.

I went to Summit Grill to celebrate my friend's graduation . We had excellent service, good food, and drinks. Happy hour is from 3 to 6, they have a limited menu for happy hour but all our choices were very tasteful. We ordered spinach and artichoke dip, calamari. Hamburger sliders, seasoned French fries and drinks, we were pleased with our choices. My friend said they have excellent steaks there and recommend we try it for dinner. We enjoyed our time there. read more

We are always sceptical of five star and one star reviews, but truly believe Summit Grill merits this rating. We have eaten at several of their restaurants in the metro area (dozens of times) and have never had a bad meal or dining experience. The same can be said at their sister restaurants, Pearl, and Fifth Street Social in Lee's Summit. Have yet to try Boru, another of their restaurants. My wife always gets the French Dip sandwich. We have yet to experience, a leaner, richer prime rib sandwich than their offering. I alternate between their dry rub burger, the chicken friend chicken and Nashville Hot Chicken. read more

Food is great, lots of options. Busy, but did not wait too long for food. Nice and clean environment, dim lighting.

I ordered the Prime Rib Dip. Every bit of it was delicious and perfectly medium rare! The Ruby Red Slipper was a fun afternoon spirit. Do try it! Summit Grille is definitely a staple in my restaurant repertoire. Excellent for business lunches and dinner dates. The ambiance in the evening is amazing! The only critique for daytime business lunch is to have accessible outlets throughout the restaurant. Everything else *muah*! Love it! Oh and Austin... let's not forget the amazing server!! read more

Terrific restaurant to impress a client or your date, or for a special celebration. On the pricier side for a suburban restaurant--but deservedly so--this probably isn't a family Friday night go-to spot. With six in our party and a varied and upscale menu we selected different dishes from salads, soups, fish, meat entrees, and pub food. Everyone was satisfied. Service was impeccable with our server expertly juggling the multiple duties of placing and removing dishes, refilling drinks, and processing the bill without interrupting the flow of conversation. read more

Each time we have either dined in or gotten our meals to-go, it's been delicious! Great service. I always get their street tacos as an entree, or their Asian Chicken Salad. It's SO delicious and full of flavor. One of the very few salads I'll order from a restaurant to have as an entree. A little on the pricey side but it's worth it in my opinion. Dining atmosphere is what you want- one side is the bar and the dining area is a little more quiet but both are casual. My husband has tried several dishes from there and has enjoyed each one. read more
