Kansas City Reviews
Night Goat
Night Goat is an excellent Saturday afternoon-only BBQ speakeasy downstairs from Fox And Pearl.
Green Dirt On Oak
Green Dirt Farm in Weston is famous for its sheep milk cheeses and lamb dishes, and they’ve brought the best of the farm downtown to the Crossroads.
The Stilwell
Stilwell is perfect to impress a business client staying at the Loews Hotel or a soul food-inclined date with huge portions of shrimp and grits or chicken fricassee.
Noka
Noka, a Japanese restaurant from the team behind beloved lunch spot The Russell, has really found its footing over the past few years.
Chef J BBQ
Chef J is living a double life. It’s a top-tier BBQ joint by day, while at night, they close and serve as the eerie exit of one of America’s best haunted houses.
3Halves Brew Pub And BBQ
If you’re in the area visiting William Jewell College or Liberty’s historic downtown, it’d be a mistake not to stop at 3Halves.
Unforked
Unforked is a local chain owned by the Sheridan Frozen Custard family, one of the many KC establishments that claim to do the dense dairy dessert best.
The Antler Room
If you can only go to one restaurant in KC (that's not a BBQ spot), go to The Antler Room in Longfellow.
Oil On Linen
This restaurant at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art serves a satisfying brunch and a rotating prix-fixe dinner that’s the real standout.
Shagan’s
At Shagan’s in South KC, the decor is simple, the TVs are playing Indian trivia shows or Bollywood movies, and the affordable Northern Indian food is hard to beat.
Restaurant At 1900
Come for the best espresso martini in Kansas City, stay for the staff that knows your name and acts like they’ve been desperately waiting for you to walk in the door.
Bacaro Primo
Bacaro Primo is an Italian spot that feels specifically made for special occasions, where you can impress a date without the whole night feeling stuffy.
Fox and Pearl
If you’re looking for some filling (and meaty) comfort food on a chilly day, Fox and Pearl on the West Side is the answer.
