"You’ll want to just hangout for hours at the Westside Local. It’s charming dining room, pocket-sized bar and alley beer garden make it very easy to just relax and soak up the ambiance. The menu is full of locally sourced fare that is just so delicious. The Localities (small bites meant to be shared) are a perfect way to start, especially the deviled eggs, and the entrees are all amazing. I highly recommend any burger and the grilled cheese, unless you hate juicy cheesy messy comfort foods. Their menu changes seasonally so you are sure to get the freshest possible ingredients. Westside Local is truly a neighborhood hangout, come eat and drink and be merry with the Westsiders!" - Rachel Sleeter

NYE Dinner here was fantastic! First time here and we'll definitely return. The staff was friendly and attentive. A nice atmosphere with some background music to enjoy with your meal. Not too loud so you can still have a conversation. The food was top notch. We opted for the elote tater tots, deviled eggs, and pickles for our appetizers. All were fantastic, especially the elote tots. For the main course two of us had the nightly steak special, which included a lobster butter topping (which could've been melted a bit more over the steak) that was flavorful and accompanied the steak well. The asparagus, spinach, and mashed potatoes were a great pairing. The third person had the veggie burger which was great and came with some perfectly crisp fries. For dessert we had the chocolate tort with fresh fruit. Great way to round out the meal.

Warmly welcomed. Had brunch on the cozy patio. A little cool, so had the licorice spice tea (the teapot is adorable). Started with Elote tots, highly recommend. The Bald Man had fish and chips which were good and I had a bowl of seafood chowder, also good. Great service and ambience. Also, PLANTS. Really good experience and spent about 45 minutes here.

Street parking. It was pretty busy when we arrived, looked like decent amount of seating but not for large groups unless you call ahead. Kombucha was grand, fries were great, I know others loved their salads. I didn’t care for fish. Kind service. You do get charged extra if you pay by card as well.

Farm to table restaurant with a nice homey vibe. Feature local art and fresh, delicious food. Been here many times for dinner or lunch but had the brunch today, it was delicious! The special pumpkin French toast with blueberries and strawberries, fresh blueberry jam, whipped cinnamon butter, amazing! Added vegan sausage and thought it was as good as real sausage. Also had the country benny and it was delicious and flavorful too. I had a half order of the French toast and still took home half of it. One of the best KC Brunch spots!

Lovely and quaint farm to table restaurant with really fresh ingredients! Food was brought out quickly and great service during our dinner. This was tucked away from the hustle and bustle downtown and a great local spot!

I finally made it here and many recommendations. Now I know why. The service was amazing (Mel) and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We sat outside and loved the greenery for a feeling out of the city. Great vegan options and we shared one of the specialty cocktails. Will definitely be back!

Went here for brunch, at first I had my doubts about the prices but when food came to our table, I was pleasantly surprised by the huge portions. I ordered the Heirloom BLT-E , fantastic blend of fresh tomatoes, sweetness from a jam, bacon nicely balanced out everything. Dont forget to add parmesan fries! It's a must try!

The atmosphere was very welcoming and the food was delicious. I got the sweet potato/quinoa burger with a side of tomato soup and their Yule. I definitely recommend this local business if you are traveling like I am.
