Parlor

There is a lot of variety at Parlor, but nothing is amazing, it’s all pretty mediocre. I had Mother Clucker, and for the price you would expect a few more wings and higher quality. There was not really much sauce or flavor on my wings. My girlfriend gyro with fries and spent $18, but there is better gyros for a better price in Kansas City. The fries were crispy in a way that is very nice, The main benefit of this place is that the atmosphere is great! As a venue it is really good, but the food leaves much to be desired. You don’t really interact with the cooks/servers at the food courts and the screen still asks for a tip. The bar service was fantastic however!

If I ever find myself on death row(let's hope this doesn't happen) my last breakfast will be from Parlor Donuts. (Let's face it at that point calories won't count! Lol) So we ate here 3 out of 4 days of our trip. Don't think of it as a donut, but rather donut meets croissant = cronut!! They are like pastry works of art in your mouth! Prices are extremely reasonable and the staff is super helpful:) They even make donuts for your furry friends!!

This is a fun place to watch a KC game. It's a little loud but that is excellent when KC is winning. Free water cups at the registers. Food is a bit expensive for the quantity but the quality is very good. Many options to choose from here.

I love the different vibes the Parlor has. There’s seating for nearly any type of event🤯 It was super chill when we went and a great place to do remote work. We tried Muncheez (apparently replaced from Deez Nachos?) and it was 🔥. The honey serrano tenders and Mac and cheese was great, not really spicy which would be nice, but still really good food! The man up front was also really nice and engaged joyfully with all the customers. We also tried the Korean bbq fries at Slideshow Sliders and that was super good with great portions.

Tried 2 different restaurants...1 i got pulled pork fries - TERRIBLE. I took a couple bites and asked 2 other people their thoughts and they agreed so I tossed those. Meat definitely out of a frozen bag. Next i got a regular order of fries from another vendor - TERRIBLE. I couldn't believe regular fries could be so bad. In other news the old fashioned on tap is always a winner. Enjoyed watching football games on large screen and listening to dj this past Saturday.

I love all food halls but especially this one. There are bars on both the bottom and upper floors. Hours are nice so it doesn’t close until 9 which gives you a good amount of time. Always clean inside and easy to order from your phone or a menu. They have nachos, chicken, burgers, a taqueria, and Mediterranean food. Overall, just lots of good options. Perfect if you’re downtown and have picky eaters as it gives many options for everyone. I got the chicken at Mother Clucking and it was amazing. My friends got hamburgers and those were very good as well and had fast service all around.

Went for a late lunch, and it was a wonderful experience. Lots of choices for food and drinks. Love the open seating concept and enjoyed a brief stint on the balcony/patio before it just got too warm. We tried the burgers and fries from Slideshow. The Fig & Goat Cheese burger is a must! The fries were also delicious and came in a huge portion. Excited to try another kitchen in the near future!

Great bar service, plenty of choices for food, plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy a drink or meal or both. Dj isn't too loud or overwhelming. Love coming here!

Wow. A little customer service goes a LONG DANG WAY! I recently posted a review about a disappointing experience of being overcharged by the bartender who was dismissive when I pointed it out, first telling me I was mistaken and then, when I showed her the receipt, said "weird, I'll let them know" and walked off without refunding me or even apologizing for the mistake. Needless to say, it wasn't a great interaction (or even a well made drink) but the experience was an anomaly- I've gone to and enjoyed Parlor many times (and had several very well made drinks), but an experience like that can sour someone on a place... After posting my review the VP or operations left his phone number, asking me to call. I did, because I thought they should know they were overcharging for their drinks. He apologizing profusely and telling me they would be having a meeting about the price discrepancies and also discussing how to treat a customer in that kind of situation. He thanked me in a very sincere way for bringing this to their attention and also sent me a gift certificate. So again, the interaction with my bartender wasn't great but the way management is handling it speaks volumes and I am looking forward to enjoying some food and drink on their awesome patio sometime very soon.

Parlor is an indoor food court with restaurants that change from time to time and with two bar areas. I've frequented Parlor several times over the years and it's a great place to grab food especially if you're in a group and everyone has different tastes. It's also a good spot to grab a drink. They have lots of seating including an enclosed outdoor area. If you're having a party they do have a downstairs area that can be reserved in addition to areas within Parlor. They will also sometimes have live music so check their socials to stay up to date. The restaurants within Parlor rotate but the one OG and probably my favorite is Mother Clucker. You can order online from any of the restaurants or use the kiosks set up at each one if someone isn't available to take your order. There are two bar areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. They do tend to get busy quickly but the service has always been pretty fast. I like trying all the cocktails. The old fashioned is one of my favorites.

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.

Saw this place on yelp and decided to visit during a trip to KC. bottom half is like a flea market? i think. they sell vintage items there are a handful of different stalls within the building (fried chicken, mexican, sliders, curry,) i had the potato tacos. very oily. the curry banh mi fusion was only ok. it's nice that you use an ipad to order and they text you when your order is ready. good for groups to hang out since they have a rooftop bar. food wise i did not enjoy but ambiance and location was really cool!

First time visiting Parlor after hearing several recommendations over the years and it did not disappoint. This is such a cool place. I made the mistake of visiting for dinner/drinks on a Saturday evening, and it was beyond busy/crowded. I would love to come back during a weekday and have a quieter experience! Tons of places to eat and all of the restaurants looked incredible. I love that each place has a limited menu, which makes it so much easier to pick something to order. I will say that most of the menu items across the different restaurants are pretty pricey, especially for food-truck-type meals. Most menu items are $15-$20. I decided to order at Deez Nachos and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered their totchos (nachos with a tater tot base) and it was SO good. They were $17 total and very filling. Overall, a really neat concept of a boujee mall food-court vibe. Great experience!

How has Parlor been open for five years? I remember my first visit well, when I was impressed but felt I had overpaid for a food court. I still agree a bit with my first review, and I'm not sure if it's inflation, or age, or the slow passing of time, or a combination of the three, but I find myself coming back to Parlor again and again, and while I can't say it's a perfect experience I really do have a good time each visit. That alone is worth the added star. Now let's get into it. Food: The food here is all around good. I love that they rotate, and now that it's been a few years I can say that they do indeed change vendors. Not quickly, but slowly as businesses grow and move out they are replaced by new up and comers and honestly everything I've had here has been great. Of course there will be some hits and misses, but I do think that the bar is set pretty high for these vendors, as a whole. Service: Since it's a food hall you typically order at a kiosk and then head to your table to wait for a text that your food is ready. I actually really like this system. The only flaw is when you need more sauce, or something random and have to flag someone down. That can be a bit of a struggle depending on the spot you ordered from. Also, the bar tends to get overly crowded and it's HARD to get a drink sometimes. I kind of wish you could also order from a kiosk here, though I get why that isn't possible. Ambiance: It's still a hip and fun place to explore, and given they are five years in and I still feel this way is pretty darn remarkable to me. It's still cool, still hip, and still fun. They manage to keep it pretty clean for a bustling place, and overall the ambiance really makes this a fun place to visit.

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

I loved this place! I was able to order my favorite KC pizza at Johnny Jo's, my sons were able to get Mother Clucker! And LOVED their food. Great concept, spacious layout and great atmosphere to watch the Chiefs play. Next time I will try some of the other dining options, I WILL be back!

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. My husband and I enjoying ordering one thing from 2-3 restaurants and splitting to try new places/dishes each time we visit!

Over priced for mid food. The vibe is cool and if I was a KC local I would Probably spend some time here just because I love food halls. However Mother Clucker, the chef was rude asf like calm down bro you're not even busy. Bro was getting so annoyed because I asked for my sauce on the side and he was telling me that's not how it works. Like my bad bro but no reason to get all angry about it. Furthermore if you're going to be angry about it your food better slap. His food wasn't bad, but also wasn't worth visiting a second time. As for the Mediterranean place. Their fry oil tasted rancid so the loaded fries kind of sucked. The meat was good tho.

A lot of options make for a lot of great smells walking in the door. You can tell this place is popular but it's wearing well; the table dressings are still present, the furniture is in good shape, and the bar is well-stocked. One of the restaurants had a "closed" sign on the front but still let us place an order online, which was a little confusing. The drinks made at the Parlor Bar were tasty and well-made, with a number of ingredients I'd never had before. They have the luckiest bartenders because the espresso martinis are on tap. Very, very, very white, upper class diners

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.

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!

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.

Parlor was probably my favorite place I went to while I was in KC. Seriously so unique and the BEST vibes. They have tables, comfy couches, and comfy chairs. They have two floors of places for food and a bottom floor which was booked for a private event when we were there so I'm not sure what it looks like down there. We got mother clucker and ladybird taqueria and both were so so delicious.we got the chicken and shrimp tacos from ladybird and the chicken sandwich and tenders from mother clucker. Bartenders were super sweet and fast and prices were super reasonable! Super highly recommend!

The girls decided to come here for lunch. It is a pretty cool place! Plenty of seats, gathering spaces and huge dining area upstairs. Ting's Filipino Bistro- I was excited for Chris to try the Lechon Chicharon; however, I was really disappointed. The description alone says "super-crispy" but their isn't any crunch on any of the few pieces of pork belly tucked into a white paper bag where they came in even if I said it was for dine in. Next stop: Sidos. I had the Shawarma Salad and Chris had the Mixed Kabab. My salad was fresh with a very light dressing and chunks of very tender and tasty chicken, but I wish they put a little bit more of it. Chris's Kababs were good as well. The lamb had a nice flavor and the chicken was juicy and flavorful.

First time here. Cozy homey feel to this place and also a little trendy as it seems like the younger 20-30 something like to hang out here and a bit noisy. Multiple restaurants to order from. Same concept as Strang Hall if you have been to one in Overland Park. This place seem to have somewhat more of a fast-food type option. We opted for Korean food and ordered from Sura Eat. Menu priced about $9-$13 per entrees. Two type of sauce available for your taste. Japchae was really good. I would order again. Overall I give it a 4-stars for the concept and atmosphere of the place.

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.

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!

Ate at Elephant Wings and it was awesome! From the service to the flavor I will definitely be back.

We really liked this food hall. We came on a Sunday night and it still had a crowd before closing. It's great for friends, families and dates. We ordered from two restaurants-so grateful for the variety of cuisines. We tried Sidos which serves Mediterranean cuisine and also the Slideshow, slider place whose flavor combinations were too tempting to not try.

What an awesome spot in KCMO! A great place to go with a group that can't come to a decision on where to eat. My husband and I couldn't pick just one restaurant in Parlor so we ordered from three: a birria taco from Ladybird, monster nachos from Deez Nachos, and three sliders from Slideshow Sliders. I honestly couldn't tell you which was better but I can tell you none of it lasted on our plates long. The taco and nachos were delicious and the fig & goat cheese slider was fantastic. Food halls are such a fun and efficient concept and this is the best one I've been to!

Would not recommend Sidos. Small salad with a few cucumbers and tomatoes, minimal dressing. Ample amount of meat- $13.00. Hardy worth it and didn't feel great the next morning!

This food hall has decent food options and prices are okay. Can be tricky getting enough seating for your group depending what time of the week you come and parking can be scarce. This place could potentially be a 4/5 star but the food I got (kimchi fried rice) and Alpha Pale Ale from Torn Label were quite forgettable. I would still return to this place as I had a good time here with friends.

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.

When we first tried Slideshow at parlor, the food was very good and had nice flavor and made with care. Recently, there has been a new employee and since this change, the quality and care to the food has decreased dramatically. There is no pride anymore and the man is just lazy. We tried to go at 9:20pm one night and he was the first one closed over 30 minutes before the set time they close online. When I asked he said he didn't care and was closing early..... Today we went in the morning and this is what he served us. Disappointing as this used to be the best option in parlor but now it's safe to say we won't be going back anymore.

My friend brought me here since we were in the area for lunch. She kept saying it's like an adult cafeteria with a bar. She was not wrong. There are probably like 7-8 places to choose from to eat at (each with its own prices). There was pizza, Asian fusion, chicken, etc. We ate at Sliders. They serve sliders. Lol When I say best Truffle fries around, that's what I mean! Delicious Truffle Fries! There was a bar on the main floor and the second floor. I'm still not drinking yet but next time, I'll take a Margarita please! There is a bottom level where I'm told they hold open mic nights and the like. It's a nice place for a party or gathering as well. Someone was having a baby shower there. It's a great place to eat. Even bring the kiddos! It's nice to see downtown spruced up.

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.

To compare this to Strang Hall, which is another food hall with trendy restaurant concepts down in north Overland Park, Strang is where you take the family on the weekend and Parlor is where you go with your guys/gals on a Friday night. It's worth going to Parlor for the venue + seating + atmosphere, the speed of food delivery, and the drink options, but I'd personally prefer Strang Hall for the food. The prices are comparable (expensive), but the quality of Strang's food is better. The food is perhaps less novel than a mac n cheese or fried chicken restaurant, but they make up for it in the details. That also makes Strang slower. At Strang Hall, you order, wait 30-40 minutes for them to make your food from scratch, and then eat delicious food that is surprisingly smoky, savory, crispy, crunchy. Their concept is "chef-driven food hall", and it shows. At Parlor, you order, wait 10 minutes for your food, and then eat food that is good but lacking finesse. The Honey Serrano Mac n Cheese was on the sweet side, with noodles that were a little soft, and the sauce was watery. The Pork Adobo was better--meat was tender and the garlic rice was savory--and I'd definitely revisit Ting's if I come back to Parlor.

So many different possibilities here! 2 floors of food from very different places/ types/ flavor. There is a bar on each floor. They sell thrifty items. They serve tacos, sliders, hot chicken, Korean, Filipino, Mac n cheese, and maybe one other place. There is an area upstairs that is semi outside that has heaters. I chose the Korean spot. It was my first time. It was pretty good. The sauces were good. Very flavorful.

The food at all the places we sampled was great, and the vibe was definitely on point. It could've been a little bit clearer how actually getting your food works (you'll receive a text that says they deliver to your table but they don't, but all in all was a great experience!

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.

This is a huge food hall with a lot to offer. I tried the taco concept and was blown away by the carnitas taco and the adobe chicken tacos. Carnitas tends to run dry but this was so moist and tender. Same for the chicken tacos. The meat was moist and just delicious. And sauce on the adobo chicken tacos was money. Tied all the flavors together beautifully. Light corn tortillas were the perfect vessel. Plenty of fresh cilantro on top. The chips and salsa left a lot to be desired. The mild salsa tasted really bland. The chips were a little too thick and despite the seasoning on them didn't really taste like much either. It looked like they had absorbed a bit too much grease. We ended up throwing them away.

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.

It is a great place to eat when you don't know what you want to eat. There is a variety of different types of food within a small area. The vibe is , great, relaxed, busy, bar lifestyle with a restaurant feeling..

This is a great spot to go with friends or on a date because there is multiple cuisines here and multiple bars. This is the perfect spot when you can't decide on food and drink but you want to get together with your friends somewhere. I also enjoy the lounge areas this place has as the seating here is numerous.

I have always enjoyed the vibe of parlor, but today was not it. the quality has gone down at this place since its opening. some tables weren't clean, the floor was sticky, the ceiling was dripping, and there were a few wet spots I slipped on. then to top it off, I ordered a mojito (which was an EGREGIOUS 12$ plus a tip to ultimately taste mediocre) , took the smallest sip and accidentally knocked the glass over and broke it. the bartender didn't offer to remake one or make one for half off.. nothin. especially after getting a really nice tip. so yeah that was pretty damn rude. it was the non-binary bartender upstairs, w the very long hair and flashy facial hair.

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!

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.

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.

Great variety of choices. Mediterranean was great, even the baklava. Caprese Sliders were awesome. Bars are a great addition.

The parlor is a mix between a food court, bar and has the comfort of your home with couches. This is a really neat concept for the area. I like that they offer a variety of options for dining. With the seven restaurants you are bound to find some thing that everyone will enjoy and like. The rooftop bar is really nice. A fun place to come as a family on the weekends, with a large group for a special event, for a date night.

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!

Loved the vibe of this place! It was like a hip and trendy food court. There were lots of options and variety for the food places and the portion sizes were pretty big so we couldn't try something from each stand. The people were so nice and friendly. Definitely need to come back to try the other food!

The slider burgers are amazing (you will need 3 if you make it a full meal). I loved the kimchi fried rice with spicy pork (enough for 2 meals if you are an average eater). I had order envy when my friend brought a delicious plate of fried chicken mac&cheese over! You can also get a side order of dumplings, fried cauliflower, or fried pork belly from Sura which is great for sharing! Atmosphere is fun on the weekends. They have a bar upstairs and one downstairs as well. Plus inside and outside seating.

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

I highly recommended this place because of the variety of environments they offer there. You can choose where you can sit and also what you want to eat. Many different spots with different styles of foods that are so delicious. I personally loved the nachos. If you want to enjoy amazing cocktails prepare by friendly staff and bartenders this is the right place to go. Also, there is an environment where you can meet and enjoy diverse people.

Many food options. Fun atmosphere. Plenty of bars so you don't have to wait forever to get to a drink.

This place has lots of options for food and all of it looks good. I had a Korean bowl of chicken something and noodles and liked it. And it was really too noisy to hear friends across the table. High energy but definitely not relaxed.
