The Westside Local

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

I got a to-go order on my road trip across the country & the holiday spirit here was so bright. The energy was absolutely amazing, service by Brandon was perfect. He was so generous. & I wish we had time to sit down because the ambiance was a VIBE. They accommodated to my dairy allergy so easily with no problem & the food was amazing! We got the salmon & the steak - 10/10 recommend.

We enjoyed this place. Great atmosphere, amazing staff! We started with the Elote Tater Tots which were gone before I could get a pic. All four of us loved them. I had the soup of the day, which was a pork and black bean chili. Lots of pork, very hearty, but way too salty. For dinner, I got the garlic pasta with shrimp. It was supposed to have pancetta. I didn't see any. Sauce was thin, runny and lukewarm. My friend and I both ordered it. We both thought it needed salt and the sauce was lame. It was like they made it with skim milk instead of heavy cream. My wife had the chicken skewers and she loved them. I tried it and did not care for it. The pineapple piece was great, but the chicken was meh. We all shared a piece of house-made cake for dessert. It was chocolate with vanilla bean frosting and like a pear jam on top. We all LOVED that! Certainly the bright spot. My friend's husband ordered the salmon and he raved about it. He said it had great smoke flavor and was cooked perfectly. Nice wine list.

I had the delightful experience of joining a group of friends for dinner at the Westside Local last week! Our server was Miranda, and she was FABULOUS! Even though it was a Friday evening, and there was a group of us, she took care of us as if we were the only diners in the restaurant. Some of our group asked for substitutions, and there were several questions about the menu, and we all needed separate checks--Miranda handled it all with grace and charm and a smile. She was friendly, efficient, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had a great time while we were there. I appreciate her taking such good care of us--she was a major reason that we had such a wonderful evening. The food was AMAZING! I'd never been to the Local, and I was very impressed with their farm-to-table menu and the varied offerings. I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and my meal was absolutely delectable! The bread on my sandwich was toasty without being greasy, and the cheese was ooey-gooey delicious, and the tomato soup was so thick and rich and well-seasoned that it was almost a tomato stew. :-) I paired it with a petite Syrah which was equally delightful. My dinner companions all raved about their choices; one of the gentlemen ordered the bison meatloaf and shared a bite with me, and it was exquisite--tender and flavorful. Several members of our party had tater tots with their meals and couldn't finish them, so I volunteered to take them home; I had them the next day and can vouch for how tasty they are! :-) Toasty without being greasy, and nicely seasoned so that they don't even need catsup. The ambience at the Local is so warm and welcoming; the vibe is almost that of a family gathering in the dining room at the holidays. The dining area is small enough to feel cozy, but the high windows and ceiling (they took out the original first floor, so now the walls extend up through the second floor) keep the space from feeling enclosed. It's still light and airy and extremely comfortable. After my first time at the Local, I'm definitely coming back! I can't wait for my next great meal in such a great space and with such great service! Thank you!

The atmosphere is so unique and so fun to eat and chat with to friends! Our service was top notch and the waitress made sure we were well taken care of. I cannot rave about the food enough. This was the half order of French toast and man was it more than enough. They were thick slices that were absolutely delicious. The brown sugar bacon was a hit as well. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Always great food and drinks. Amazing outdoor area. Expect to wait on weekends as this is a hot spot. A must try is the tots!

Decided to come here on a Friday night and did set up a reservation since it was recommended but the restaurant wasn't packed by any means so one wasn't needed. The cocktail menu was a little underwhelming, nothing sounded too good so i just asked for our waitress to recommend something and i was a little disappointed with what i had but I definitely don't hold that against the place - the drinks just were not for me. Ordered the elote tater tots to start off my meal and this was amazing. Tater tots are an easy thing to mess up but they definitely elevated the flavor of this dish. The pickled jalapeños with the crispy tater tots definitely made it for me. The jalapeño and jam burger was super good too, the saltiness of the bacon paired perfectly with the sweet jam. My only complaint of the night was the mac and cheese - it just didn't have much seasoning and unfortunately was bland. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here again.

We dined here back in July of 2023. Loved the location, atmosphere, and food here. Some creative twists on comfort foods that we really enjoyed. Specifically the fried portobello sandwich was great, with a nice contrast of textures and flavors. Shout out to the fried chicken sandwich which also was well prepared and tasty. We went for the gespacho watermelon/tomato soup which was super refreshing as a side. The drinks were okay but expensive, I'd recommend skipping if you're on the fence about ordering an alcoholic beverage. The elote tater tots were tasty, but not as reminiscent of the flavoring as we expected. Overall was a positive experience for us when we dined in.

Loved this place! Service was great, our waitress consistently checked on us. I was indecisive about what drink to get so it was nice she followed up and I was able to get my delicious pineapple cran mimosa. We got the kale wrap and sriracha honey chicken sandwich. The kale wrap was amazing, perfectly dressed. I'd defiantly come back for it and add chicken if I got it solo. The chicken sandwich grew on me and made a great leftover. Restaurant has a great ambiance so perfect for a weekday lunch or meet up with a friend or colleague.

First time at Westside Local and it was great. The patio was covered which helped with the rain and they allowed our friend's dog to join us too. They even have beer for the dogs (water bowl). We started with the poblano spinach dip and elote tots. Both starters were amazing and I would for sure come back for just that. The entrees were well sized and delicious, but there were too many great options. I wish they had an entree platter so you can try as many mains as you like. The food was great, the service was friendly and inviting, and I want to come back again very soon.

I was shocked how I didn't discover this wholesome spot earlier! The Westside Local is a cute and rustic spot with the best lunch menu. I got the Ruben sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was super juicy, meat was perfectly cooked and bread was toasted nicely. I would recommend getting their signature fries rather than the tater tots as their fries have the best seasoning and I couldn't stop eating! Our service was great and the server gave us great customer care even with the many tables she had. Please try this spot if you're in the area and want great food!

I will say that initially I thought this was more of a bar food place so when I saw the prices I was taken aback but after trying the food, I have more of an understanding as to why the prices are higher. I was not expecting much from my side salad but boy did they deliver on that. We also got fries and Brussels which were all great. This place is super cozy and I'm antsy to go on a warm day and sit on at the patio.

Friend and I came here for a quick bite before a show at the Kauffman. We split macaroni and cheese and the honey sriracha chicken sandwich with truffle fries. They have a lot of cocktail and drink items to try ! The honey sriracha chicken sandwich was spicier than I anticipated, but very delicious! The mac and cheese had a lot of breadcrumbs and was a large portion! Super cute and nice spot to try!

Great atmosphere, wait staff, tasty eats. It'd be nice to see tater tots and fries replaced with organic homegrown items as it would lend well to the eclectic flavored dishes.

This was my first time here and I was impressed! We were able to snag a last minute reservation. Walk-ins were not being accepted due to how busy they were. We were immediately greeted, and shown right to our table. Our server was extremely patient and attentive. Really great service. There was a buzz in this place, which I always find really enticing! People having conversations and really enjoying themselves. Food was awesome too! My only comment is my garlic cream pasta needed salt, also the tomato soup that came with the grilled cheese was not a soup, it was a marinara sauce in my opinion. It was way too thick to be a soup.

This story begins around 1030 a.m. after my husband and I got done, getting ready for the day. He asked me where we were going for brunch. I told him I had been looking at places before hand, and that WestSide Local sounded like a good fit. It did not open until 11 a.m., so we got there 8 minutes after 11 a.m., got seated(we were asked if we would like an inside seat or patio seat). Our water was brought to us. Then, the waitress who reminded us of my husband's 2nd cousin(she was a hoot and very helpful) came by and got our drink order while we made up our minds on the food. My husband chose his drink to be Boylan Rootbeer. My drink selection was the airmid(I never have had bubblegum bitters before, so this was a treat for me to help kick off our mini vacation). I was very impressed when I asked her what she would recommend for my husband(who has no teeth), and she took the time to go over some menu options with him that might make his dining experience more pleasant. He finally decided on the grilled cheese with tomato soup and a side of Mac n cheese(Michael mentioned the macaroni was a little tough,the soup was more like a marinara, a very thick soup). It took me a minute to come up with my decision, so she put in our drink orders and came back for my decision. When she came back, I had decided on the heirloom BLT( was very flavored filled, I would have enjoyed it more with the yellow low acid tomato, vs red and yellow together. I was glad to see the tomatoes salted and peppered, though it definitely helped with keeping the acid down. I could actually see the BLT re-imagined as a flat bread or pizza, i think it would be delicious) with a side of parmesan&parsley fries( thankfully, they were not greasy to the touch, which I appreciated) with homemade ketchup(which was yummy). For this being our first trip to WestSide Local, for a farm to table establishment, it was a great, cool& relaxed vibe, with a bit of retro& industrial thrown in. This could give the place we go to in Oklahoma City, a real run for it. Thank you for the wonderful food and excellent service. We will be adding this to our Kansas City Munchies collection.

I have been here twice, both times with a fairly large group. Service has always been amazing, and the food is even better. The Brussels and the tater tots are both MUSTS for appetizers. Sriracha chicken sandwich is incredible, and the meatloaf (of all things??) has been declared "the best in the world" by multiple people at my table. Don't forget the inventive cocktails...you can't get a Milk Punch in many places, definitely try it here. It's PERFECTION!

Had an excellent dinner at Westside before a concert last night. The Spinach Dip was easily one of the best I've ever had and the Jalepeno Jam Burger is the best burger I've ever had. The elote tots were also fantastic! Overall very pleased with the experience, only downside would be it might be a bit overpriced. I am happy to pay more though for great food.

Hadn't been in years and I forgot how good Westside Local is. Great spot for exceptional food and drinks when you don't want or have time for the production of fine dining.

This is always a home run, Sunday brunch is top notch with seasonal items. Dinner of all things, try the kale salad! Great service, setting, do make a reservation.

this place is so good!!! I went to visit for lunch with a couple of friends and the food was so good!! the fries were amazing and so was the kale salad! This spot in Kansas City is brunch heaven! the vibe is modern and lively, and the menu is a mix of classics with a twist. the pint of fries and kale salad at this brunch spot are sure to satisfy your taste buds. The service was exceptional as well !

Mediocre Food, overpriced, cocktails, and very slow service. I finally made it to Westside local with a group of eight friends last night. I can't say that I was impressed with the menu. It's certainly not what I expected. The only thing I did liked was the kale salad and that was a bit on the sweet side. I got the Reuben which was $16. Virtually tasteless with no pickle on the side. The cocktails were interesting but way overpriced. If you're going there with a large party I believe over seven they add the gratuity of 20%. I have to say that I will not be back. the Taqueria next-door looks interesting. Total for one Ruben sandwich and two cocktails plus gratuity tip $61. Completely not worth it.

I came here for a girls' brunch this past Sunday. This is such a great local restaurant. I hadn't been here in several years, and it was just as good as I remembered! Also a heads up, if you haven't been here before, it may take you a while to find street parking nearby. The atmosphere is very laidback, the service is great, and the food is freshly made. They offer several food and drink options for Sunday "blunch". I got a half portion of the cereal milk French toast and a side of breakfast potatoes. Honestly, the French toast was just too soggy and sweet for me to enjoy, but that's really just personal preference. My friends all enjoyed their meals, and I think next time I would order something savory instead. The portion sizes are very large, but they do offer half-portions for certain menu items.

We were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! We waited about 30 minutes for a table in their outdoor area which was very cute. They even have gas powered heaters in case it is a little too chilly. There is a good variety in the menu items, so there is something for everyone! Plenty of items with customizable options such as adding salmon, removing bacon, etc. Their cocktail menu is expansive - and you should get the Andromeda - gingery, delicious goodness!! The sweet potato quinoa burger was well-seasoned, and paired well with their Parmesan fries. I wasn't a big fan of their ketchup, but hey that's just a small detail. We also got their Kale salad with added salmon - their salmon was seasoned well, but the salad was a little bit bitter. I think it was because they burnt the fried crispy shallots and that made it bitter, so that was a little disappointing. The shallots that weren't burnt did add a nice touch. We will definitely be back to try some other menu items!

Okay this is an up and down review so stick with it. Service was horrible and we had a reservation. Bad news. Then we had multiple items come late and with errors. I'm attaching my dish which was supposed to have beef. The only beef was pushed to the side for sure. Yikes. Then the waitress lied about prices when we asked about dishes. Not a good look. I will say my dish tasted good but the presentation sucked. They charge too much for items too.

This is literally my favorite place! The kale salad *add salmon is to die for! It's my favorite salad of all salads EVERYWHERE! I honestly haven't ordered anything from here that wasn't tasty but that salad is on a whole new level of goodness. The patio here... is the best! It's so cute and full of plants with decent shade! The service has ALWAYS been top notch. Go here... and get the kale salad!!!!

Just hunting for something new. And we found it. Most of my hunts start with some sort of craft beer menu and some fish and chips. Westside has a very solid craft beer menu. More cans and bottles than tap. But the taps are solid. Did not try the fish and chips. Went with the Philly cheesesteak. This was the best spin on a Philly I've ever had. Amazing. Wife ordered salmon tacos. Also amazing. Everything was fresh and made with the Westside flair. Out door patio is a neat space. Our server was very friendly,patient and helpful. Great spot. Will definitely be back.

This is a cool place that keeps menu selection fresh. Great burgers and truffle fries. Always a great experience when I go.

The food was amazing and the atmosphere is great. Would definitely recommend the Brussels sprouts!

When my parents asked me where to go for my birthday, there was no question in my mind that I would pick the Westside Local. This was the first time they were meeting my girlfriend and the servers were so funny/kind to this entire experience. Before I make my next compliment, I need to express my I love fries. That being said, these are my favorite fries in the city! They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and they are perfectly seasoned.

I have been waiting to try this place out! I went on a Saturday night and they were pretty busy. I had to wait about 15 mins for a table. I decided to go for the blackened chicken Sammy! BOMBBBB. The chicken was juicy and not dry by any means. The sauce used was amazing and the melted cheese just topped it off! I only ate half of my sand which and the next day the other half warmed up was just as good! The other person got the blackened salmon dinner and it was a nice size! The sides it came with were delicious as well. The people working were all friendly and the hostess made sure to keep me updated on our wait time as we waited to be seated. I can not wait to go back and try their brunch out!

If you were to make a checklist of all the things you love about going out to eat, Westside Local would 1000% check off every item. From the location, the aesthetic, the design, the food, the service, and more...it's a stop that I have no shame in saying could be revisited for every meal of the day. Yes, it's that good! The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. As we were leaving, we just happened to run into the owner of the establishment and shared how much we enjoyed our entire experience. We live a block away from the Westside and love just walking by to see the crowds that this restaurant brings in. If you haven't been, it's worth checking it out.

Went out for a dinner with co-workers, environment is cozy but it was quite chilly and got progressively more so through the evening. Our server was great, super sweet & helpful with suggestions. I got the Mac n cheese with was sooo good. I definitely recommend it. Most folks around me seemed to enjoy their food and cleared their plate. My veg leaning friend barely touch their veggie burger but another person loved theirs so ‍ I would say I was slightly annoyed their was no basic salad.. just kale and whatnot. Just a more standard option would be nice. But their other appetizers were good. I loved the poblano spinach dip - it had a bit of heat but not bad and I'm super sensitive to slickness. I personally probably wouldn't go myself again but wouldn't be disappointed to go with a work group in the future. There were several other options I'd be interested in trying.

This is such a hidden gem! A great place for date night- have gone pretty regularly over the past couple years. Rotating drink menu always great (my personal favorite recently has been the Freyja) and the garlic cream pasta is heavenly. Also always very accommodating to vegan diet with multiple appetizer and meal options. Vegan must- try's: fried portabello Sammy, pint of fries, hummus plate. Saw a couple negative reviews recently and I must say that has NEVER been our experience. I will say reservations are necessary, it tends to fill up on the weekends.

I wish I lived closer because I LOVE this place!! The kale salad is crave-worthy - I'm obsessed with the savory sweet combination it has going on. The bacon and cheddar omelette was so tasty and flavorful and the side of fresh fruit, the perfect complement. I also love the sparkling limeade, so refreshing!!

The food and service were amazing! Can't wait to come back and try out some more menu items!

First off, such a darn cute neighborhood! I haven't been in the area in a hot minute so it was cool to see so many fun + new business' in the area. I had a 6:30pm ressy with a girlfriend who had never tried Westside Local so I was excited for us both to try it! We were sat immediately which was super awesome, so i expected the service to be top notch. It took over 20 minutes for our waitress to even acknowledge us once we were sat. Once she came over, she took our drink orders. We both ordered a different cocktail off of the menu. I ordered the Vega + my friend ordered the Westside Cocktail. Both cocktails were very good + not something we would normally order! To start off, we ordered a couple of their appetizers! First one was the fries and the second was their calamari. The fries came with 6 different sauces (The sauces could have also been for the calamari, I am not sure). I'm a sauce girl, so this gave Westside extra brownie points from me! I would rate the calamari a solid 1.5/2 stars out of 5. There was so much breading that you could hardly taste the squid. It was also super over fried. So overcooked, to the point where the squid was crunchy. For our meals, I ordered the Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese with the kale side salad and my friend ordered the Hawaiian burger with house chips. The grilled cheese was absolutely incredible. The sandwich was served what was supposed to be tomato soup but it reminded me of pasta sauce. Same consistency and taste. I would say that their food is good, service is mediocre but just know that their fried foods aren't their specialty!

Yes, yes and YES! Love the quaint space and location, though parking can be a pain at times. I've only been for brunch and it was exceptional both times. Service is good, fast and friendly. The chicken and waffles here are fantastic, even great left over. Definitely an underrated brunch spot.

My husband and I came here for brunch at 11am. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. I am so happy we tried The Westside Local. I am pregnant and was happy to learn they actually had mocktails on their menu. I got one that was citrussy and very good. We split a half order of banana bread french toast which was absolutely devine. The half order is huge. I got the BLTE with fries which was amazing and also huge, my husband got the fajita omelet with breakfast potatoes and was very happy with his order. Our service was great, the atmosphere is slightly hipster, but not pretentious. A very cool restaurant, food came out quickly but not too fast. They have a great brunch menu, can't wait to go back and try more.

This is really a 4.5 star rating as just a few minor items diminished the 5 star rating. I thought I had reviewed The Westside Local within the last year, but apparently not. Like the last visit, the food, drinks & atmosphere was great. I brought a friend for the first time and she enjoyed it as well. The Red Snapper entree was the star of the evening. Everything else we had was very good, but we really liked the snapper! The restaurant was very busy tonight which is great because we need great local places thriving.

The Westside Local is a fantastic spot with an incredible vibe that makes every visit enjoyable. Their Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger is a must-try--it's absolutely delicious, especially with their salt and pepper tots! I love spending time here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming atmosphere with amazing service.

I can't believe this is my first review for Westside Local. I absolutely love this place. It's so quaint on the inside and I love the space on the patio. This is a place that I am so grateful was able to bounce back from the pandemic. It's a jewel. I come here for macaroni and cheese and this is something that I order every time that I come. Love it. Just know that if you come after the lunch hour and before dinner you cannot get this. Sad. The drink is called Fragaria Vesca Strawberry. Honestly not much of a strawberry flavor at all but still good.

Always a good time at The Westside Local. Ordered their fish and chips, especially love the homemade ketchup! Super friendly waitstaff and quick service if you have a reservation set!

I've been going here awhile now and the only way to describe my feelings about this restaurant's food, drinks, staff, and ambiance is to watch the clip of You're Simply the Best on Schitt's Creek. If you're too busy for that a Chef's Kiss gif will do.

The food was good and so was the venue, but the customer service was poor. The manager and server were not accommodating at all. We called ahead multiple days in advance to confirm details and when we got there they did not uphold our agreement. They were very rude when we tried to adjust and make suggestions to fix the issue.

Seriously delicious food and excellent service. My daughter and I have visited twice and each time have had a wonderful experience. We had burgers and tots the first visit (tots are crispy all around and the homemade ketchup is to die for!) and I had the meatball open sandwich the second visit (OMG - so delicious!). The area is charming and off the beaten path. Take some time to visit the other shops and enjoy the day.

This place is really hit or miss. We had a lovely time back in the fall, but it was empty so everything came out quickly and service was good. I have never had a negative experience here.. until this weekend. We tried it again this weekend for lunch. I'm glad we made rsvps because it was PACKED. Seated, waited around for someone to take our orders. We waited for so long, that we asked to put our food order in as well when the waiter came for our drink orders. The table had a limeaid and a hot tea. The hot tea never came, the waiter comped us for that. When I say we waited for 45 minutes, I am being literal. Food came 45 minutes after ordering. I ordered a kale salad with grilled chicken. Asked for no shallot, no cheese, no dressing. Boring, I know. Waiter looked at me like I was nuts, made a face, and asked if I was sure that was what I wanted. "No dressing?! Ok well if you don't want any joy..." I held my tongue and just politely said "yes, that's what I want!" When food came out for the rest of the table, mine did not. The waiter asked me again what I didn't want on the salad so I repeated it. He brought me a side salad of.. 5 pieces of kale, a spoonful of Brussel sprouts and some sliced almonds on a tea cup dish. I reminded him that I asked for grilled chicken, so he takes it back and comes out with the same amount of greens and the chicken on a larger plate. I look at our waiter, extremely confused, because I see that the table next to us has the same salad, with a large portion of greens. He tells me that he thought I ordered a side salad versus the full. He asks if I wished for him to add more kale to the salad, and at this point, I just tell him "no it's ok, I'm just going to eat this, I'm starving". I had also ordered a side of fries. Crisis averted, I ate everything and was satisfied. He comes back to check on us and asks how I'm even full after my meal. Look, I don't care to justify why I ordered my meal the way that I did, because I do understand, it's bizarre. Who orders a salad with no happiness, but is ok with the fries that has Parmesan on them? But! I'm in the middle of cutting for a body building show, which means that I am tracking my macros. Sometimes, if I choose to have a full side with all the loveliness of cheese and carbs, I have to sacrifice something else to balance out the meal so that I don't go over in my meal plan for the day. That's the amazing thing about this restaurant, is that it's highly personalizable and has so many options for everyone. So I just looked at him, smiled, and said "yes I am", left him a 22% tip, and choose not to respond. What I hated about this experience during our meal wasn't that my meal had been messed up several times over. I'm not even upset that he chose to comp a hot water over part of my meal. What I am upset about is that I don't appreciate feeling shamed or like I am a burden as a customer. Judgement statements like the one he made to me didn't need to be made.

I don't know why I don't come here more often! It never disappoints. Service is friendly, vibe is laid back hipster and I just love the food. Today we had seasonal quinoa and grilled cheese with tomato soup. I left full and happy. Lots of vegan options too. If you find yourself in the cool hip west side, drop in here

This has been one of my go-to restaurants for years now! I love the atmosphere and everything I've ordered is amazing - and i love how they change the menu a bit each season so there's always something new to try. Service was honestly slow today but it was busy. To drink we had the "Gwishin", which has sherbet in it and is the perfect summer dessert cocktail! To ear I had the Jalapeño and jam burger with Mac and cheese and I ate every bite, it was so good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Favorite spot in KC! Came here for dinner with no reservation and they were able to sit us for 3. We started with a Tiger's Eye and a seasonal mock tail that had cranberry, soda water, rosemary, and lime I think - it was DELICIOUS and I loved how it looked like a real cocktail! Shared the pint of fries which were incredible and a very good portion for 3. Then we each enjoyed our meals licted. 100% eat here if you are in KC ... their breakfast would probably be good too!
