We went here on a Monday morning and it had the typical diner feel of primarily older folk. Our server was friendly and attentive and honest about some things on the menu that have switched, which we really appreciated! I got the Nashville chicken and waffles and it was bomb and so well priced! My cousin got the kitchen sink skillet and it was a huge portion, definitely multiple meals! We also shared the OG French toast which was very tasty read more

It's Saturday morning. A good day to go out for breakfast with your family at this family friendly breakfast/lunch dining restaurant. When we arrived, there was a 10-15 minutes wait. Got seated at a table with McKayla as our waitress. I notice right way, how good of a waitress McKayla was. She was friendly and helpful in menu suggestions and was attentive while we were there. We were in the mood for pancakes this morning and ordered their big pancake platter which comes with eggs, sausage and potatoes as well. Their pancakes were so large and you get two that we ended up taking half of it home. Overall, McKayla provided exceptional service. read more

I ordered the tenderloin with a side garden salad. The tenderloin was just okay. The salad was so drenched in dressing, I couldn't eat it--should've ordered the dressing on the side. My biggest complaint is the lettuce --they used lettuce that's intended as a garnish for the salad and on the sandwich. Why not use regular iceberg lettuce or spring mix salad? Also, the pickles on the sandwich were sweet pickles, not dill. Weird. read more

I've traveled a good deal in my life. While on the road we had breakfast here. I had to admit I'm very picky and must say this was the best breakfast restaurant I've ever been to and without a doubt the best eggs Benedict ever. Our wait lady, Lexa, was phenomenal and accommodating, I'd go back in a heartbeat . The entire staff was friendly, no frowns, just a charmingly adorable place for an excellent breakfast! read more

I am sorry I have to write this type of correspondence but I feel your Lees Summit locating needs some serious service attention not only with the staff but definitely with the MOD!! I didn't get his name but he is tall and thin with a thinning wiry red beard and dressed kind of sloppy. We arrived on the beautiful Saturday with high hopes of grabbing some food and returning to our daily activities. Unfortunately there was a wait we then approached the bar and there was only 1 chair left we stood at the bar a few minutes before hailing a nice young lady and asked if it was open seating she said yes and next asked if it was OK if we shared the 1 chair and ordered . She went and Checked and came back very pleasantly and said yes, and explained our server would be with us in a minute. So we asked her for some water and coffee, she politely said yes, and brought back the coffee. When the server showed up she went from one end of the bar to the other taking orders, we were at the end of the bar and the order line. We ordered, some water and a pumpkin cold brew. I tried to give her our food order and she held her hand up and said just drinks for now. I thought that was a bit rude and short but decided to let it go she seemed in a rush. A few minutes passed and she came out with drinks and set them down at the opposite end of the bar and continued to take everyone order in the same fashion form one end to the other. She still did not deliver our drinks. Even after giving our order I stopped Layla again and asked her if she would mind grabbing our drinks that had been just sitting there. By this time it was clear she needed help. Other servers were standing around behind the bar watching and keeping to themselves (nice Team work!!). It was clear the service would be mediocre at best during this visit. When Christi approached us we told her our order Kansas city Omelet to share with White toast and potatoes. I asked her if she was busy and she exclaimed with a hasty attitude she had 5 other tables and was double sat, I asked and you have the whole bar as well she said, "yes" very short and seemed frustrated. She never asked if we had been there before or gave any suggestions or anything at all. She was in classic order taker style. We waited for a bit it looked as if it might be slowing down and decided to approach the host and ask if there was any open tables they said no 15 minute wait. I went back to report the news to my party, she said did you ask about outside? I approached the host for a 2nd time and they said sure we can seat you. I asked, "did I need to tell the server at the bar" and he said yes. I sent my party to go ahead and be seated. As I waited for Christi to appear again there was sweet Layla and I asked her to tell Christi that we moved to the patio, she asked what table we walked to the window and I showed her. When I came back our food was arriving at the bar and Christi was replying to the food runner that they moved to the patio or something in a very hostile and disgruntled tone. She was surprised to see that I was standing right there and heard her complaint. As we were at the patio table Layla had some guests across from us, I stopped her and asked to have our tab transferred to her since she was our main contact at this point and we would need to pay someone and that she should deserve the tip. She was pleasant and smiled and said let me go check. This is where the entire experience went horrible. The MOD in that moment came to the table and dropped the check and said that next time we come to the bar we shouldn't share a chair. I was shocked not only that he was being aggressive but did no research into our experience before coming at me with accusations and disrespect. I explained that we did ask Layla for permission before we sat down. I then explained the mediocre service from Christi, Repeating to him her complaints about being double sat with 5 tables, Which is why we wanted the check transferred to Layla, the only pleasant person we had encountered so far. He left and came back to say that, Layla didn't think she did anything to deserve the tip. He then said that next time we want to change table we needed to check in at the host desk. Now I was a getting angry, as I explained to him that we did check with host on 2 accession's. He then decided to involve other guest at the bar, and they told him that I had given Christi the highest level of disrespect to a sever that they have ever encountered. Now I was heated, level of disrespect I proclaimed? I spoke with her only 2 separate times drink order, food order, and asked if she was busy. There was definitely some untruths to the situation and with the previous accusations of the 1 chair, and asking the host to move, he was clearly just making things up as he went along. it was undeniably evident that the manger has questionable integrity at best. read more

We've been twice now. Not sure if we'll go back. Our food was not hot either time. It was kind of lukewarm at best. It's always an adventure to get seated, but the Yelp check in helps a lot!! The servers are great! They are fairly attentive. The food. It has to be hot! It's just not. Repeatedly. Can't do it. The sticky biscuit was better in Tiffany Greens because it was hot. There are a lot of creative menu options, but they need to do a little better getting it to the table on time. We may return, but I'll ask to make sure the food it hot, please. read more

I can't leave a zero?!?!? Ok where to begin.. with the $4.00 colored water they call coffee? Take a pass on that unless maybe you want to pay $4.00 for color in hot water. They are called "The Big Biscuit" so I mean you would think that maybe they specialize in biscuits and gravy. Wrong! See picture of little bit of sausage, cornstarch, and water. I don't think it's even a milk based gravy. I was hungry and the eggs were hot as were the potatoes so I ate a good portion of mine but take a look at the picture of the sausage. I didn't know they made knives sharp enough to get that razor thin. I told the waitress that the biscuits and gravy were awful and then she just was terse the rest of the time we were there. My husband's a nice guy so she got a decent tip. Wouldn't have been the case if I had been paying. We paid $40 for my husband to go away hungry. And overall just standard food at best. But the biscuits and gravy, I would not call those standard they were horrible. If you are going to give us cornstarch water gravy at least salt it! I don't wanna leave you all hanging though so here's a list of restaurants that would be better to go to: Shack, First Watch, Pegah's and I'm giving away a little known secret, Red Door has a lovely brunch starting at 10 o'clock on weekends. read more

Good food with a wide variety for different pallets. I love their seasonal pancakes. But, what makes this place stand out from the rest is the exceptional service. I've been a couple of times and always receive great service. The last time I I went was three days before Christmas. They were very busy. They had an organized waiting system, so it only took me 10 minutes to be seated. Despite the crowds, I received a hometown family welcome. My server, Maddie, provided excellent conversation every time she came to my table, which was often. I watched as she gave every table the same attention. The manager even past my table and then backtracked just to check in! I was quite impressed! read more

Last year manager moved to the Ray-more Mo store. So this year I got a chance to meet the new Manager Brad and he's amazing. Ordered three quarts of Gravy and he must have given us extra plus Biscuits. Big Biscuit your sausage and gravy was the hit of the breakfast Party once again. Nothing left and I mean nothing everyone was stuffed and happy. So if the Chiefs make it to a third Super Bowl guess what we are having?

This restaurant gave such hometown vibes. I loved how vibrant it was and every wall told its own story. There were plenty of options on the menu and it took me awhile to decide. Ultimately, I could not go to a place named "Big Biscuit" and not try one! Let me tell ya, the name did not lie! These biscuits were HUGE but also warm and fluffy. The sausage gravy paired perfectly with it. They normally put the gravy on top, but I requested mine on the side. The potatoes and eggs were delicious and well seasoned. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone in KC or just traveling through. read more

It was the item everyone kept talking about afterward and easily my favorite dessert of the visit. Overall, 30 Hop offered good food, a pleasant vibe, and a menu with something for everyone. I'd happily return the next time I'm in the area.

Loaded Guac. Sooo good!

Burn Theory Fire Kitchen

I'm not sure what to say after reading all the reviews on here... I'm left wondering... were we in…read morea parallel universe or something‽‽‽ We stopped in after an appointment I'd had on a Monday in Lees Summit. We decided to have a quick early dinner here in town, and did a Yelp search for "great places to eat near me". This place was high in the list. We read the reviews and found ourselves driving around a building that had ZERO markings for the Burn Theory Fire Kitchen on it, but our Maps app said we were here. Turned out, the food for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen was cooked in a food truck in a parking lot and served inside the Diametric Brewing Company which is located at the address listed for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen. I will say, my husband ordered a special beer called "Cherry Street Wheat" and it was very unusual, and seriously tasty!!! I'm not a beer fan, but would drink one of these any day! So, getting back to the food... we'd both ordered a trio of street tacos that we did a mix and match of with their various proteins. We ordered this way to share with each other. We also love to discover new and unusual bites. After reading the reviews and their menu, we were excited for the promise of something uniquely delicious... and were completely disappointed!!! All but one (excluding the shrimp) of the six different tacos we'd ordered, bordered on the inedible side. The proteins were seemingly overcooked, folded into little leathery tortilla shells, and served to our table cold, dry and tough. They tasted as if they had been reheated from the weekends leftovers. Maybe we came on the wrong day. Perhaps if we'd visited on a weekend, or on the same day they were actually cooking the meats initially, we'd had a better experience. I don't know, and frankly do not plan to find out. Additionally, to be fair, their condiments (ie: the Ketchup and BBQ sauce) seemed to be made fresh and made from scratch. They were sadly the best part of our meal. Honorable mention to the Diametric Brewing Company which served us one of the most delicious and unique beers we've ever tasted!

They bring it straight to you when it's done. The guy who brought ours was super nice. He asked if we needed any utensils or sauce. I was just having a beer and then was taking my grub to go so he brought me a bag to carry everything easily. I ordered the Burn Theory Cubano: House smoked ham and pulled pork, melted Swiss cheese, pickles and house made mustard on toasted brioche. This sandwich was huge! It's very shareable if you're ordering sides. The meat was super smoky and I loved the flavor. It's definitely a top 5 Cuban in KC. We ordered several sides: seasoned fries, smoked Mac and cheese, and a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was good sized and easily shareable as a starter. I liked the house made dressing. If you wanted to have this as an entree, you have the option to add brisket, chicken, or shrimp. I will definitely consider it in the future. The seasoned fries were pretty standard. My boyfriend liked the seasoning and that they didn't put too much on them. My 3 doggos also enjoyed a few. The smoked Mac and cheese was probably my favorite side and I'll have a hard time getting a different one in the future. The Smokey flavor was perfect and not overwhelming. The pasta wasn't overcooked and the sauce was creamy. I end up at Strange Days pretty often and I feel like this is a perfect addition to the area. I'll definitely be ordering from them in the future while I enjoy a beer.

I could describe every experience with this restaurant but I'll leave you with the previous few. And I know what you're thinking, if the food was so bad, why do you keep going back? Well, hope and optimism. Rooting for Roots! We want the local place to succeed, but we've come to the conclusion that what they really need in order to improve, is honest feedback. But part of me hopes that it changes nothing. And here's why... my wife and I love this place. But in a weird way... allow me to explain, imagine the place as a Saturday Night Live sketch where the staff, the menu and ambiance are unapologetically pretentious, but the food doesn't deliver on any level. It's pure entertainment. We have dinner and an inside joke. First of all, for the price, you naturally expect elevated dishes and excellent service. We both had a cocktail, a glass of wine with dinner, an appetizer, entrees, salad and desert. Around $250 with tip. Pricey, but reasonable if the place delivers. On one visit we had the duck, which was served undercooked and when we mentioned it to the waiter, she scoffed, "that's the way it's supposed to be served." So feeling duly chastised for our ignorance, we shut up and ate the duck. I don't know the organism involved, but my wife and I were up all night vying for access to the bathroom. Enough said. Things were dicey, but no trips to the hospital. Six months or so had passed and finally, last night we rolled the dice and tried Roots again. My wife said her dinner was fine. She had stuffed salmon, adequate, but not great. For me, It was between the steak and the pork belly. Now I had the steak before once and it was... well it was definitely a steak. I'm not going to say much about it except for this... if you like the taste of a good glass of water, order the steak. So having experienced the steak already, I ordered the pork belly, which is an extremely tasty and forgiving cut of meat in my experience. But somehow at Roots, they figured out how to prepare it poorly. Yikes! It was dry as a bone, but only in the places where it wasn't tough as shoe leather. It had to have sounded like a rock when it hit the plate. The naturally rich flavor was cooked completely out of it, and any surviving seasonings were successfully burned away during the cremation process. I was starving so I made a valiant effort at finishing it, but it took several glasses of water and an inordinate amount of chewing. My wife laughed at me the whole time. I offered her a bite but she demurred, quipping that it had been a long week and she simply didn't have the energy. It was served with a "slaw" that consisted primarily of a plain sliced onion and slices of flavorless apple devoid of seasoning or dressing. I honestly don't know how this dish made it out of the kitchen, let alone a chef's imagination. It has become a quest for my wife and me. Like the holy grail of dining experiences, only a few minutes from our home. Ever the optimists, we will just keep trying Roots again every six months or so and hope for better on each trip... or not. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, please try Roots. We want them to succeed so we can keep coming back and having these comically terrible experiences. If pretentious irony is your spirit animal, please try roots. And Roots, please keep trying. We will keep spending $250 bucks for "dinner" and a show. PS, to add to your experience, ask for a booth when you arrive for your reservation, they will look you up and down and politely say "no" as they walk you past 4 empty booths. No explanation...

I stopped in with my girlfriend Lisa, who loves this place so much they basically have a little corner reserved for her. She likes to work from there because the Wi-Fi is good, the vibe is comfortable, and the food is consistently amazing. We sat at the bar, had a couple glasses of wine, and Austin took great care of us. Lisa had the steak special, which was the ribeye, and I had the salmon. Both were really, really great. The salmon was cooked beautifully and the whole meal was exactly why I keep coming back. One small callout: there was a $3 difference between what the salmon was listed for on the menu and what I was charged. I let Austin know so they could catch it for future guests. It did not change my overall experience, but I appreciated being able to mention it. Brandon, one of the co-owners, is amazing. He came out and spoke with us, and that personal touch is part of what makes Roots feel special. You can tell they care about the food, the service, and the people who come in. Their happy hour is amazing, and their seasonal menu changes are superb. I love coming in and trying different things. The salmon tacos are delicious, the birria fries are a must, and I always look forward to seeing what new crostini they are featuring since those change every few months. Roots is consistent without being boring. Great food, great service, great drinks, and a menu that keeps giving you a reason to come back. Can't wait to come back. See y'all next week.

After doing a little shopping, we stopped by Iron Horse Bar & Grill for appetizers and drinks, and it was a great experience. We ordered the Sampler Platter, which came with crispy fried pickles, bacon-wrapped shrimp, beer-battered onion rings, and chicken strips with dipping sauces. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. We also enjoyed orange and mango mimosas, which were delicious and refreshing.
