Go. Go to here. Great service, friendly people, and fantastic food. The potatoes were a huge highlight. The Biscuits and Gravy were just okay, I'd say, but for our group the french toast, omelets/eggs, and pancakes all got rave reviews. I wish I lived closer. read more

A hidden gem! I was always curious to visit after reading reviews on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and very seasoned. Friendly staff as well. I will definitely visit again to try their lunch menu! read more

Oh-Em-Gee!! Not sure how I missed this place on my several visits to KC. Hands down the one of the best breakfasts I've had. Everything was made cooked to order- we waited a long time, so be prepared. But it was well worth it. The server on numerous times kept forgetting items like jelly, ketchup, refilling our water and coffee. But, it did look like she was doing several jobs. They need a full staff for how busy they were. 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

I came here for brunch with my family and fiancé. The food was delicious! Everything tasted homemade and came in large portion sizes. We were seated relatively quickly for a party of 5. The ambiance was very family friendly and comfortable. I definitely would recommend coming here! read more

This little establishment is a hidden gem! I'm so upset that I haven't stopped by before. It's def in spot where if you don't past by often then you wouldn't even know it existed, but I was glad to see with a 45 min wait that they have some faithful customers! I had the chicken fried chicken that was no where near dry or bland! The fried potatoes were so delicious with a perfect crunch ratio! I loved that my friends side of cornbread looked like a pancake! The size of the plates were super filling and we ate ALL of it! Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu! read more

How is that I only recently heard of this place and only recently went? Like how?! They are preparing to celebrate 5 years in business, August 2021, and with food like this, I know they will be around for years to come. I ordered chicken and waffles with a side of scrambled eggs. Listen, the way this chicken is seasoned will have you wanting to kiss the chef. It is a special season blend created by the Owner, Marvin. Marvin was the nicest ever. He came over and spoke to us, gave us the history, and was very personable. I was with a friend who ordered the create your own omelette and she loved it also. We were sitting next to a guy who raved about the burger and then another couple walked up saying, "Marvin, my man, this food was good! We will definitely be back!" I highly recommend! read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday morning. Got here around 10:00 and waited about 30 minutes for our table. Mikayla (Mack) was our server and she was GREAT!! All our portions were huge. Food was good but some items were a bit greasy - like the eggs- which was odd. I had a pecan pancake and thought they'd be cooked in vs just sprinkled on top. Our friends who brought us said it wasn't as good as it usually was. read more

The best breakfast spot around! Wonderful biscuits and gravy. I always get the grits. They also have amazing baked goods too! Good music and friendly staff. read more

Okay I'm updating you guys. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Marvin on the day of my initial review. He apologized for the unfortunate experience and invited me back for a do-over. To my surprise he gave me his personal cell and sat down with me to discuss the prior visit including a bit of history of Breakfast & Lunch Lovers. I'm pleased to announce that the customer service was outstanding. I ordered a pork chop breakfast (see below). Biscuit was perfect and they had strawberry jelly, Smuckers to be exact :-) I'm here for all of it. Grits took a little elbow grease but I had ample butter and salt (yes, I'm from Louisiana so salty vs. sweet is my comfort). My server is the best one I've ever had, NO CAP! From her attentiveness and kindness I can tell that she loves her job and cares about making sure her patrons come back. Marvin made me a brisket sandwich to-go and whew! If I wasn't already stuffed from breakfast I would've eaten it too lol You should stop by and taste these flavors for yourself! read more

Excited for another opportunity to support Black Businesses. My sister and I have collard green battles and I feel like these were a STRONG contender. Absolutely the best I have ever had dining out. Seasoned better that Gladys' and cooked longer and leaner than Paula's. These greens brought the heat! All they needed was a couple dashes of Tabasco and you couldn't tell these greens nothing. The catfish was also perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, not over crispy or oily, like cooked to fking perfection - like they got someone's grandma's cast iron back there. I also had mashed potatoes. If I am to write a legit review I gotta say I wished they were a little lighter like maybe whipped up. They had good flavor I just felt like they were a bit to dense for me. Too much potato skin. But for real, I didn't care because the catfish and greens were so fking legit I couldn't have finished the mashed potatoes too. My husband slaughtered his biscuits and gravy and the savage ain't even offer me a bite. When I asked if he wanted to try some of my greens he declined because he said the B&G was too good he needed to save all the room he could. Said he would have felt like he was cheating he was so in love with them. It was a big ass plate full of gravy and potatoes on fluffy biscuits. Still mad at him for that. But he did pick up the check so I guess we're good? My aunties from Texas both had breakfast. Chicken and waffles, pancakes and bacon. They also loved their dishes. Both of them complimented the portion sizes, which I agreed they were perfect. Like not over the top huge but also plenty. You're gunna leave damn full - I promise you. Speaking of portion sizes, I don't think there were many unhappy plates at our table - most of us cleaned them. Matter of fact as I think about it - we hadn't seen each other in a long minute, so we were hella chatty when we sat down. There were 14 of us total. So we were creating quite the low roar in our section. When the food came the talking damn near ceased completely. All I could hear was forks and knives and low yumms, and shit. Service was excellent, attentive, quick, and very friendly. She was kind enough to take our picture- and I know that's a big ask. She kept the order straight, all kindsa separate check madness - with none of the paying parties really sitting together - didn't bat her eyelashes, just handled business like a pro. My husband's birthday is coming up and I'd been pondering what to do for his bday cake - so I think I'm going to score a pie - he wanted to try the bourbon pecan but there simply wasn't the room after all that gravy goodness. I'll update my review when I can tell you about it. Please give Breakfast and Lunch Lovers a try. You can thank me now. You're welcome. read more

Good food, horrible service. There are few breakfast places in Raytown and the food is good so this place is always busy. Especially on weekends. Don't go if you are starving. I've never seen the owner/manager so the staff is nice and are doing the best they can. They need to be more honest about how long the wait will be. If they say 10min, expect 20-30. We saw at least 3 tables walk out after they were seated because they were waiting for food or just to order. Another 2-3 left because no one seated them. They could probably use a dedicated hostess. I will stop dining here until they get it figured out. read more

Do you enjoy long wait times to be seated, then wait for server to show up to take your order and even longer time to receive your food. AND even longer to pay your bill. This is the place for you. read more

Really nice servers quick service and their biscuits and gravy are really good. My husband and kiddo got the famous chicken and waffles and they both said it was seasoned really well and they are definitely getting it again. read more

Everything was good. Service was very good and attentive. Except for the $4.59 cup of coffee. It should be more like a $2.99 cup at most. I love Chicken Fried Steak and that is now scratched off the menu, so I had to settle for Chicken Fried Chicken. I drove a ways to get here and had my stomach set on CFS. I tried different places for breakfast every Sunday. Food was good. Next time I'll bring my Starbucks for 5 bucks, if I come back. read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to the Raytown area and we're looking for a new breakfast spot. I saw this place was right down the street and had 4.4 star review on google so we had to give it a try. Man am I happy we stopped in!! What a darling place! We were instantly greeted with smiles and a welcome vibe. The service was OUTSTANDING. They have you order at the back bar and then take a seat. I had never seen a diner setup like this before but let me tell you it works. We maybe waited if even 10 minutes for the food to come out after we sat down. I was shocked at how quickly it came out! On top of that, the food was delicious!! Can't go wrong with that! Outstanding service and amazing food. We will be back for sure and advise anyone in the raytown area to stop by and check it out!! Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Cozy morning breakfast makes for great morning take out and nice dine-in service as well! Overtime I've made so many orders almost everything is great,especially if you struggle with health concerns. There is a nice balance of salt and sugar and room for add-ins (that in mind the sweet potatoes are not made like candied yams) read more

We went after church yesterday, there wasn't a wait to be seated. Once we got to our table we waited about 10 minutes, 1 waitress came, took our drink orders and told us who our waitress was, we then waited for her about 15 minutes for her to take our food order. My daughter's food was fine, my husband's bacon wasn't done and I ordered a sausage and cheese omelet, it was cold and all the meat was on top and dry. When the waitress finally came, I tried sending it back, it wasn't very good, she said I had it too long and what did I want her to do. I was waiting for her to come back to the table, she said all she could do was give me 20% off, which was $2.56...we won't be back! read more

this is not a good place for mixed couples to eat at, came in to eat today with wife very rude waitress, didn't take our order we ended up leaving after 1 hr of no service. Tried to support local business, stay away for this racist place, not good for kansas city or your money. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere. My niece has came here once before and they ignored her and didn't seat her or ask if she wanted water or anything. So we went together to try it out.Our server was good and was attentive to our needs. However, the food was okay. I had the traditional breakfast, eggs, sausage, with potatoes, and biscuits and gravy. Sausage was dry, potatoes were dry, but the biscuits and gravy was good. My niece had the chicken and waffles. The chicken and waffles were too sweet and didn't have a balance between sweet and salty. We would probably not come back again, unless there's some changes in seasoning! read more

Yummy breakfast and lunch spot in the neighborhood. This place has something for everyone: biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, plate-sized pancakes and omelettes and buffalo chicken sammies. Take out available. Don't forget to order a slice of pecan pie or peach cobbler to go. read more

The biscuits are gas, food comes out within 20 minutes, very nice staff. They have you stand in line to order and pay which i actually really like so i can just leave when i'm done eating.

We went to BLL for brunch after church and let me say, I was not disappointed. My dad got the chicken fried chicken and it was enough to feed him for two days (he's not a small man). I got the chicken and waffles and was not disappointed. We did go durning the busy time so it took a little longer to get our food than I would have liked. But the food came out hot & fresh. read more

I came here because of Yelp reviews. It was not the atmosphere I was expecting. This is an old diner that needs some TLC. I was by myself and was seated at a table at noon. At 12:08p.m. I placed my order which consisted of Chicken fried Chicken, fried eggs, biscuits and gravy and grits. I was immediately brought coffee and water. After finishing my cup of coffee, I sat with an empty cup waiting for over 30 minutes for food and more coffee. Most items were delivered to my table at 12:45 p.m. I was informed the biscuits would be a few more minutes. At 12:52 the biscuits arrived. I did get a little impatient and frustrated with the long wait but as soon as I took the first bite of the Chicken fried chicken, the wait was so worth it. Then, the biscuits arrived. These were the best biscuits I have ever had. This place should be completely famous for their buiscuits! I will definately return to eat here again, but I will go when I'm not in a hurry. A typical hour for lunch is not enough time for this place. If I can sit and enjoy my time with no rush, this place is great. read more

I mean it's a cool lil spot. I went here once with my kids & then once with a good friend & it's nice. The service is good. I really have enjoyed the servers both times that I was here. The spot is clean. The portions are generous. That's all I got. I don't have anything bad to say but I don't see myself heading back here unless a group of friends happen to choose it. It was just a cool lil spot. read more

There food for Starters the Mashed potatoes look like a scoop of ice cream and the Meat was so dry tasting and it was one of the worst places that I have ever eaten at and the service was not at all Satisfactory and I would not Recommend this place to anyone and the Waitress was Chasing me and the two guests that was with me out of the Door because she thought we had Short changed her out of her Tip and she Got $60.00 and two girls had walked out 5 to 10 minutes before we did .... read more

I enjoyed my first visit to this restaurant so much. They have the most amazing biscuits and waffles.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a new place for brunch. You won't regret it, trust me ;-). read more

Wow. Waited more than an hour for food and 30 minutes for water, food was amazing but chicken fried chicken was overcooked and this poor man didn't get his toast after asking THREE TIMES. Not much room to walk, and music is pretty loud. read more

Great food, very friendly staff; or two year olds was being a Terror and they were so sweet about it. Lots of laughter. Catfish was good, the green beans were stellar, and the corn bread was like corn pone, more of a pancake (and good enough you better guard it ;) Highly recommend this place. read more

Good breakfast food, all the classic choices you could want. Convenient and easy ordering system that I personally am not used to but seems to be common in this area. You go up to the counter and order and then sit and they bring the food to you. Overall good breakfast, nice place. read more

I stumbled upon this place in early July and I have been here 4 times since! I tell everyone this is an amazing place to get breakfast! I have yet to have their lunch but as I have seen plates being sent to other customers I can tell it looks amazing! The portions are so large and the prices are phenomenal! My absolutely favorite is the biscuit and gravy! It is something to experience. The pancakes are large plate size and I typically only eat half and have the other half for breakfast the next day. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't offer generic omelets they come with 2 items and each addition item is .59 well that adds up quick! I wish they offered an omelet with veggies or meats at a menu price instead of only offering the build your own omelets. Every time I've been we had Keshia as our server she is great! She's friendly and even when she is busy or the kitchen is running slow she has been very attentive. read more

Food was absolutely delicious. This will probably be my new breakfast spot. Some of the best French toast I've ever had. Eggs were flavorful, as well as sausage Patties. Only reason i gave 4 stars, my waitress was mad slow. Slow to take my order, slow to pick up my card to pay. Other than that...i recommend it, your waitress may be on point. read more

Breakfast & Lunch Lovers - 2 Eggs, 2 Bacon, French Toast, Fresh Fruit - Desserts Near Me - Raytown, Missouri

I love this place. The food is good and the portions are good, too. I always leave full, and usually have a to go box with leftovers. The staff is friendly and helpful, even when they're busy. The prices are okay, considering the portion sizes (on everything except the biscuit and gravy The portion is kinda small for the price). The decor isn't fancy, but it reflects this city and it's people and teams. This isn't a chain restaurant. It's a homegrown business that has heart, and soul. The only downside is that sometimes, later in the day, they run out of the wings, and sometimes they're so busy, the wait can be a little long for your food or for a check. read more

This place has went down tremendously. This is the second time I've came in for breakfast and waited over 20 minutes for someone to take my order. Today I decided to just leave and go get breakfast elsewhere. Was trying to give it a benefit of a doubt and a chance for them to redeem themselves, nope an ultimate fail. It would've been understandable if the place was packed but that was not the case. Has me wondering is this still a black owned business?? Don't think I'm willing to try it a third time. read more

there is no way the owner is the same. I'm beyond disappointed in every way. This was my most favorite breakfast spot and the food was flavorless and the service was completely trash. 45 min wait at the table 15 min wait for water and if I hadn't went to ask for the ticket we would probably be still sitting there waiting. Cash only payment but not told until it was time to pay after waiting forever to even do that. Not return ever after all of that. smh read more

Service is great!! Food was good and a few tvs for an early morning sc watch. If needing a good brunch this is a great choice.

My family ate there for the first time and all of us agreed it was one of the best breakfasts we have ever eaten. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and absolutely loved the two layer pancakes with this awesome cinnamon drizzle between the pancakes and on top. My husband and father ordered the build your own omelette, and my mother ordered the biscuits & gravy. I had half of my pancakes left even after sharing them with my mom and dad. The service was really good, and the place was decorated with KC Chiefs and Royals paintings and decor. I highly recommend this place and will be returning soon! read more
