Appears it's still the same people, and the menu hasn't changed, but now they're known by The Purple Carrot food cooperative. They have a Facebook page but it really doesn't prove anything so I can't even bring myself to report the name change to Yelp so I'll just put it here. Marketing isn't part of the Carrot's strategy apparently. See: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Purple-Carrot-Cooperative/771365949548733?sk=info Had the black bean and brown rice bowl last night at the Thursday's Farmer's Market and it was delish, packed with some good greens and tasty cheese and a bit of hot sauce. Really hit the spot. Hoping these folks make a go of it. Only places I ever see them is as the Farmer's Market and it's pretty hard to generate a lot of business at those.

Bleh! That's the best way to describe this place…read more The food was bleh! Like add some seasoning The DJ was bleh. Like ebb and flow, man. The beer was bleh.

Probably time to invest in new seating. Review update. Their response was kind and detailed agreement and they had already ordered more chairs. Facility has always been top notch other than my discomfort at the previous event. Thanks you Steve.

I can only review for what I ate at a friend's recent wedding, so I have no idea how pricing or…read moreworkers or any of the business side goes. However, this was some of the MOST DELICIOUS food I've ever had at a wedding. Huge variety of fruit (blackberries!), a gigantic spread of different crackers and cheeses, 3 types of bruschetta bar, grilled asparagus, mushroom, tomatoes and zucchini, artichoke hearts stuffed with spinach/artichoke dip (addictive), butternut squash ravioli in a butter/sage sauce...this was all I ate, and I know there were a few options with salmon in them as well. As a vegetarian, it's nice to know there are really delicious catering options that large amounts of people will love, even if they are meat-eaters (not that I'll be getting married in the next 30 years or anything)...If you find yourself at an event catered by Classic Catering, consider yourself lucky!

I have used Classic Catering for executive lunches (2005-present) and one private event (2012). I…read morecan say without a doubt that Doug & Mary Partridge provide an OUTSTANDING service. The quality, taste and price beats any other catering options in the Overland Park/Lenexa area. They arrive early or on time EVERY TIME, their presentations are ALWAYS complimentary to the meal being served and always taste delicious. In particular, I have consistently ordered the Champagne Chicken & Mexican Fiesta (w/Chicken Fajitas) and they have never failed me. For the private event, it was a 70th birthday party at a friend's home. Every guest was impressed with their professionalism, the food and the set-up. I echo the previous poster's comment that if you are lucky enough to attend an event catered by Classic, consider yourself lucky! Additionally, I worked at a company where Classic catered every Holiday Party and again, I highly recommend them for all of the above reasons. Lastly, a special thank you to Spence & Jan! They are always a pleasure to work with!

I was just a guest, so I can't speak for the hosts, but from where I stood, everything was spot on. The space was open, easy to navigate, and had that rare mix of elegance and comfort. The food and beverages? Fabulous--no rubber chicken here. If I were planning an event, this is exactly the kind of place I'd want. Stylish, spacious, and effortlessly well-run. Arterra nails it.

On Saturday evening, I attended a wedding here and was beyond impressed with the level of…read moreattentiveness, friendliness of staff, gorgeous decor and delicious food. The inside was elegant and tastefully decorated. They allowed the bride and groom to put their own touches on the wall by hanging engagement pictures and decorations. The ceremony was outside and I was surprised by how comfortable the chairs were. I also appreciated the shade tents they put up to block the sun for the guests. Dinner, drinks and appetizers were delicious. The staff came around to make sure you had everything you needed without being too pushy. This would be a great place to have an sort of event or wedding. I really enjoyed being a guest.

We did need a small amount of a vegetarian option, and I was informed the veggie lasagna was some of the best she's had at a buffet-type luncheon (because sometimes the veggie option just isn't very good or filling). A coworker said she wanted a whole plate of just the cheesy potatoes. They dropped off the food, set it all out, and were on their way. We got everything we expected and they were super nice too. It was all very very good and the price per plate was very reasonable, which is a must for us as a non-profit. We immediately signed up for the next event we are hosting. I seriously can't wait for lunch next week.

They were slightly drenched to keep the food warm, clisp and delicious. Bit of more expensive for turkey leg. But cant blame them when they were only ones at this fair with turkey legs. The location they got assigned was kinda odd and worked to my advatange of turkey legs not being sold out. For years I been experience the dredded lack of supply at other festivals so was very excited and happy they still provided enough to sell at shawnee days.

Along with a very nice salad and delicious dressings, baked potato casserole, mac and cheese, and hickory baked beans. Everyone loved the food and kept asking who the caterer was. Also had some appetizers that everyone loved too! They were gone so quick, everyone must have been hungry. Had a fruit platter, sausage and crackers platter and cheese platter. Woody the owner is so nice and helpful. I also picked up 2 sides on Tuesday for Christmas!! (See pics, they were in a huge aluminum pan but I scooped some out to put in containers to give to someone else.) Their employees did a great job, they were all young but good work ethic. It was put well together and they were friendly. We definitely will be going back for future events/gatherings!! Thanks for a great wedding!!

This KB's Smokehouse is located inside the Norsemen Brewing Company located in North Topeka at 830 N. Kansas Ave. The food is brought into the Norsemen Brewing Company 5 days a week, Tuesday through Saturday. I had the smoked bacon-wrapped meatloaf sandwich and a side of macaroni & cheese. My friends had a pulled pork sandwich with sides of baked beans and french fries. The sandwiches are served with a butter hamburger bun. Everything was good and I would go back in the future, next time I am in North Topeka. The meatloaf sandwich was $9. The pulled pork sandwich was $8 and the sides are $3. Other sandwiches include brisket. KB's Smokehouse is located on the far east side of the building past the big bar if you enter fro Kansas Avenue. You purchase your feed, then get your beverages from the Norsemen Brewing Company and dine there. KB's Smokehouse employees bring you the food. It was difficult to order the day we dined there. KB's Smokehouse did not have a menu, so we all had to gather around the young man who explained what sandwiches and sides were available for purchase that day. As a result the young man had to repeat himself 4 times. When we received our food, there were some errors in the order, but we worked them out easily. My only complaint is that we were told the price of the sandwich, but we were not told that the choice of side was an extra charge. It would have been nice to know that every side is in addition to the price of your sandwich. I recommend to KB's Smokehouse that they purchase a large white or black board that they can display the food that is available that day.
