Best American food near Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Reviews on American food in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. The home of swing and bebop for some, "The City of Fountains" to others, Kansas City is different things to different people. Music enthusiasts are drawn to the jazz clubs and old haunts of famous musicians such as Charlie Parker and Count Basie. With more fountains than Rome, there is ample opportunity for scenic strolling from fountain to fountain. Stop along the way to discover interesting neighborhoods and browse through eclectic shops. Families are particularly attracted to the city because of its child-friendly events and venues. Science City features hands-on exhibits including a mock television studio where kids can deliver a weather forecast, while the Zoo houses impressive African and Australian exhibits plus an IMAX Theater. The city's museums cover everything from the history of jazz music to a celebration of African American baseball players. Once a trading post for pioneers heading to the Western United States, today Kansas City is a burgeoning metropolis with activities and attractions for visitors of all ages and interests.

Monday lunch. Webster House is a great location for a business lunch, a wedding, or another special event. We all enjoyed our fresh salads and sandwiches, but four people for lunch ran $90 with no alcohol. The downstairs is a women's clothing store, and the upstairs is the restaurant and meeting rooms. Free street parking or a garage across the street. Attentive service.

In Kansas City for two nights, on our way to Branson from family reunion in Iowa. Heard about Kansas City Steak, and had to try the 801 Chophouse. Used Uber to get here from our motel. Greeted and we had drinks at the bar. Upon seating at our table, Andrew was introduced and took Great care of us all evening. Great filet, and Ribeye , side of baked potatoes and carrots delivered and cooked to perfection. Great drink and wine selection. Very attentive staff, including managers, and support staff, very attentive and at the table several time throughout the evening . One of the best meals we have experienced while traveling all over the USA. Give the 801 Chophouse a visit, well worth your time !

My wife and I split a 3 sampler and it was absolutely perfect! Our waitress was prompt, kind, and helpful. Not only did we have a great time and a great meal, looking around the restaurant, everyone else seemed to be doing the same. I highly recommend Jack Stack Barbecue even with the long wait times to get a seat.Thanks for the review!

I thought the concept of "Cafe Gratitude" was to bring in those who cannot afford a fancy meal (prices are not cheap here) and the "haves" and "have nots" could share a table and a meal. That doesn't seem to happen at this location. Apparently, according to our server, the California locations have more of that - people donating to pay it forward so that others who come in can have a subsidized, discounted meal. Anyway, the food was good. Service good. Atmosphere is funky chic - hippy-esque. It is a tasty spot. Would not mind popping in again next time we are in Kansas City.

Was recommended by a local. We went for early dinner at 430 and was told the wait would be 45 minutes. The wait was actually 15 minutes. We had the burnt ends; melted in your mouth, lamb ribs; a little gamey but full of flavor, brisket; was ok, half chicken; my favorite part of the meal. Service was exceptional! Thank you for the review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back soon!

We had been before and it was a good experience. However tonight Darius made our experience excellent. We took friends that had never been because we loved the food the first time. But with Darius as our waiter and the care and attention to detail, he made this experience beyond any expectation we may have had. Great food, phenomenal service. We will be back.

My husband and I took my in-laws here for Father's Day. It was their first visit and they were already planning their next visit before we left! The service was great, the atmosphere pleasant and the food delicious. The three of them ordered steaks with a lobster tail side and I ordered the blackened mahi-mahi - it was all wonderful. We finished the meal with their signature dessert, the chocolate bag. So good! A little pricey but a great place for a special meal.
