Hunkering for a good burger & BRGR menu seemed to fit our craving. We walked in & for immediately swayed in the bar area. The bartender was our server. She gave us recommendations & he went with one of hers. I got the Knob Hill, grilled onions, special sauce on a parm encrusted sourdough bread. The meat was good as directed but overall the entire burger was bland. My BF Jalapeño Popper burger was really good; spicy & sweet combo. We opted for the 3 combo sides for $13 (tots, sweet potato fries & 3 rings) as most of the sides range from $5-8 for one option. Tots were the best, fries overcooked & mixed opinion of the rings. Overall service was excellent, as well as cocktails but my meal seem to fall short of my expectations. Not sure the price point warrants a trip back.

We decided to try this restaurant out because they specialize in burgers and had the option of a gluten free bun. We are so glad that we did! They had delicious burgers and a wide variety of options of burgers and other delicious sounding options. Their sweet potato fries and regular fries were very good also. My husband enjoyed his red Sangria that he said was good. The service was great and attentive and the restaurant was relaxed and casual. We will definitely go back!

The Combo

We stopped in for dinner during happy hour and tried the pickle fries and cheese bites (can't remember the exact name, but they were tasty!). For mains, we ordered the Juicy Lucy and the Wagyu Go Burger and split them. Personally, I preferred the Wagyu, still heavy and greasy as expected at a burger place, but flavorful. The Juicy Lucy was too much for me; it was loaded with mayo and cheese, and I couldn't eat more than a bite. We also got the side combo with sweet potato fries, truffle fries, and onion rings, fresh and crispy, but a lot of fried food overall. The service was great, and the restaurant had a nice vibe. This was my first visit, but it's actually my fiancé's favorite spot.

BRGR has been open in this location for a long time now, and up until recently I had only been once or twice long ago. The first time I visited this location years ago was with friends, back when we were all in our 20s or early 30s and without children. I remember liking it, but not loving it. It was a place that we went to from time to time but I didn't ever crave. Flash forward and BRGR has done something I think is hard to do: they have gotten better with age. Now, I'm not sure if it's that BRGR has changed any of their recipes, or ambiance, or even anything at all, or if it's that I've changed. I'm guessing it's the latter, as I've now been to BRGR two times within the past three months and it's largely because I have kids and the food is actually really good. The first time I went back to BRGR recently was in December. My older daughter and I had a date with my cousin and her daughter to go see Glow Wild at the Zoo and my cousin recommended we stop here for an early dinner first. It seemed like a solid choice since my four year old LOVES burgers and I hadn't been in a while. We arrived, they seated us, and immediately I fell in love all over again with BRGR. First of all, something I never noticed in my twenties was how family friendly it is. They have booster seats, infant car seat holders, the whole nine yards. The restrooms even have stools for little ones so they can reach the sink - in my daughter's mind this is the best thing ever, and I love it too because it saves me from having to awkwardly hold her up so she can wash. Something else worth noting is that I realized quickly that when you dine here before, say 7pm, the whole place is FILLED with families. For good reason too because aside from all the perks I've already mentioned, they have a great kids meal. I think it's around 8 dollars and your kiddo gets a burger, fries, and a drink. I mean, come on, you can't beat that. To add on to all of this, both times I've been back my food has been on point, and they have a great taplist. All in all, I think BRGR is a top notch place you can go and still support local, while wanting a meal out with your young family. KC needs more places like this that blur the boundaries between a meal out, and feeling okay bringing the kids along.

Devilled eggs
Jaden L.

Pretty pricey for what you get, in my opinion. Happy hour deviled eggs were lackluster. Brussels sprouts were different and decent, never had blue cheese with them, nice addition to the taste buds. They do not have side salads, only half or full. They have a good variety of burgers. Everything seems to have a twist on it which is nice than the normal bar food. Service was quick. We went around 5 on a Monday.

Pickle fries
Jessica F.

Great burgers, prompt service, great patio when the weather is nice. Tried the pickle fries this time and they were so good! They are cut like fries instead of chips. They have an amazing Monday night special- $30 for 4 burgers and fries.

Fries were a small portion for 5 bucks

STEAKHOUSE wagyu burger, white cheddar, garlic & thyme mushrooms, arugula, garlic & herb aioli, BRGR potato bun
Graham L.

Needed a tasty burger, they delivered! STEAKHOUSE wagyu burger, white cheddar, garlic & thyme mushrooms, arugula, garlic & herb aioli, BRGR potato bun. Tots are so crispy you hear the crunch deep in your ears on practically every bite! The dipping sauce that comes with it is very tasty as well Burgers are now (seemingly) more smashed than years ago, still very tasty. Now that the weather (march 2024) is getting better, there is limited patio seating. Service - at the bar was good Ambiance - pure burger bar and I recall it can get very loud when a large crowd Fri/Sat nights. There's also Fish and Chips and a hot dog/chili dog on the menu, and chicken if you aren't craving tasty maybe wagyu burgers.

Some of the best unique burgers and happy hour in KC! $5 cocktails, $2-$3 beers, and $5 appetizers on the happy hour menu. Highly recommend the squeaky cheese appetizer! There were so many burgers that sounded right up my alley. I went with the "Fast Cow" which had bleu cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and more on an English muffin. 10/10 would recommend! The sides are separate than the meals. We split the truffle tots which were more than enough for 2 people.

Steakhouse Burger
Jeff David G.

Upscale burger bistro with big flavors and relatively low prices. They offer a wide variety of unique burgers that have all been delicious. The sides are pretty good too, but have to be ordered separately so that drives the price up just a bit. The host and waiter were very kind and checked in on us often. I ordered the steakhouse burger and shared the combo of fries, tots, and onion rings. The actual restaurant was clean and the ambiance added to the dining experience.

Visited during Oktoberfest. The food options were so unique and fun. Loved the pretzel and cheese, that cheese sauce was delicious. The beer brat was full of flavor. Staff was attentive and kept checking in. Great patio space and they even had a live singer.

Oktoberfest menu item - Spatzle
Mai S.

I think BRGR can be five star and can also be three star so it's getting for today. It really all depends on who is cooking. The last time we went my favorite thing from their kitchen, truffle fries, had an old fry texture even though they were warm like they just came from the oven. The burger was also mediocre despite getting the steakhouse burger which is the fancy meat burger. But I loved the service and my husband always had a good time with the brown bag special (you get a random beer in a paper bag for 3.50) Spaztle from Oktoberfest menu was good!

Super kid friendly!
Brittany W.

The food was delicious. The steakhouse burger was amazing. The truffle tots and perfectly garlicky seasoned onion rings with their "special sauce" were wonderful and largely portioned. My toddlers ate everything which is rare and they ended it with fancy ice cream with cookie crumbles and m and m's. This is random, but they even have stools in the bathroom for kids! Our server, Drew/ what a stud! We'll be back to see him! Love it here!

I attended a bachelorette party dinner at Verbena recently and it was a fun excuse to check this…read moreplace out since it's been on my radar for quite some time. The first thing to note here is that Verbena is located inside the hotel at Meadowbrook and it's gorgeous. The hotel is picturesque, and the restaurant is no different. It's elegant, vibey in an upscale way, and has that kind of ambiance that makes you feel like it's worth it to spend a little money here - which spoiler alert- you will! Before dinner I do as I always do and surveyed the menu from home to see what sounds good and when I got there I stuck with my choices and ordered two drinks - one that had a tiki flair, and after their spin on an old fashioned. For dinner I chose their cauliflower entree. We will start with the drinks: no notes. I forget the names of what I had but the tiki inspired one had rum and it was honestly one of the better rum drinks I've had in some time. It was sweet but not overpowering and the rum was perfectly complimented. It was so good I had to switch drinks for round two because I knew I'd drink another one of these too fast! Thir riff on an old fashioned was excellent as well. These are honestly my barometer for a bartender as I make them at home all the time and I enjoy seeing how others take a classic and elevate it at a place like this. I knew it would be good when they asked if I wanted rye or bourbon, which was a thoughtful question. I went with bourbon and it was also excellent. Not too sweet and perfectly sippable. Now I'm going to get into why I'm rating it 4/5 and not 5/5 because it honestly could be 5/5. To be fair to Verbena I think this could be just due to the group I was with so I'll return sometime and see if I feel differently, but here is my one critique: the price point and the entree size. I eat out at nice places a fair amount and while I don't make it a regular occurance to pay $30+ for an entree, I do when I got out and I was planning on dropping some money here. What wasn't clear to me is that at dinner I think the set up here is meant for you to order a salad and then an entree to make a full meal. Or pair an entree with one of their other small plates to begin, sort of like Farina. The difference is when I went to Farina they were very clear about this at the start so our whole table all ordered a starter and then an entree and so forth - yes it was very pricey, but our expectations were set from the start. Now, this might have happened if it wasn't for our group. I was with a younger crowd and they all had been before and they all ordered salads as entrees - I'm not 25 anymore and not afraid to order a real meal (enter face palm here) so I ordered a standard entree and I expected at the price point (especially in the 'burbs) to be a more standard entree size. The cauliflower steak was honestly DIVINE - the flavors were perfect and loved every bite, but it was at the end of the day a $30 singular piece of cauliflower with some sauce and while it was great, I left hungry and even texted my husband that after spending around 80 dollars here I was going to probably pick up taco bell after this party was over. Now, again I'm going to reiterate that I was here with a group and the server did an excellent job of trying to meet everyone where they were at and I am probably 10 years older than most at the table so my expectations and life experience is just different. Verbena is an awesome spot and on my way home I was thinking about how I need to return for a happy hour to get more of those great drinks and try it out again. the tl;dr of this is if you go for dinner I'd order a salad and and entree - or ask them about how to best set up your meal. Plan to spend some money, and have fun. It's a really elegant spot in JOCO.

Went here with my boyfriend for a pre-Christmas date and had a very tasty meal. I had made…read morereservations for 7 and we were seated immediately. We were pretty close to the door, which wasn't ideal with how cold it was. They have a sort of vestibule outside but it's not fully enclosed so it does almost nothing to improve the blast of cold air when the door opens. I should preface this review with I liked the food but the service was a bit slow, however, I know fine dining service is a bit more leisurely, so I may be overly harsh on that front. Anyway, once we were seated, water came out right away. We then waited a while for the waiter to get our drink orders so I ordered the empanadas with our drinks (we were hungry). Empanadas came out quickly and were very tasty. Drinks were not quite as quick but were also very tasty. Then we waited a while for the waiter to come back to order our entrees. And at that point, I asked if we could have some bread. I saw a bunch of tables with bread but I think our waiter maybe forgot because most folks in his section didn't seem to have it. When that came out, I wanted to laugh. 2 small pieces of focaccia and a small piece of the other kind. 3 pieces of bread does not a bread basket make. He did offer to bring more but my boyfriend declined (What?!, but I didn't contradict him) so I can't fully complain about that. Once our mains came out, my complaints about the slower service and small bread portion were erased because good heavens the short rib was INCREDIBLE. So melt in your mouth and flavorful. Definitely some of the best short ribs I've had in my life. My boyfriend had some kind of dish with a butternut squash puree, mushrooms and cauliflower. His was very good too but perhaps a bit gravy with the salt. We did get our order for dessert in pretty quick and that was a great end to the meal. The passionfruit puree made it really bright tasting. TL;DR: really delicious food (4.5-4.75) but service pacing, and the blasts of cold air made it a 4. We would go back but I had a gift card, and I'm not sure I would have been as happy with the meal if we'd paid full price, if that makes sense.

I've been to Boston, San Francisco, Italy, France, etc. I KNOW good food. Story is comprised of a menu that is a little more avant-garde than your typical Kansas City restaurant. The flavors are a bit more complex that require maybe more processing in the mouth before you can decide whether or not it's amazing. But I LOVED that about this place. Did I think that everything was a 5/5 in terms of taste? No, but I can say their carrot cake was DIVINE. I would definitely recommend Story and go back the next time I'm in the area.

As a native Alabamian, I'm always up for some southern cooking. I was planning on this being as…read moresweet as Van promised! We really enjoyed our Saturday afternoon meal! It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!

Decent option for dinner…read more I stopped by earlier this week on my first night in town, and sat at the end of the bar. The bartender served me a Guinness (on tap, of course!) and then recommended the Monday Steak Night special ($60) - a prix fixe option which included a salad plus one of four types of steak, sides, and dessert. I opted for the house salad (with sherry vinaigrette dressing), the hangar steak (he was selling it hard!), sautéed green beans, and lemon meringue pie. The house salad was superb, with delicious chunks of goat cheese! I also enjoyed the sautéed green beans, loaded with sliced almonds and fresh garlic. The hangar steak was probably the most disappointing, and solely responsible for this review not earning 5 stars. I took half of it to go along with half of the green beans. The lemon meringue pie looked delicious but I could not eat another bite, so that also went into a to-go container. Back in my hotel room that night, working late as I was jet lagged, I ate that pie. OMG! PURE HEAVEN!! And the main reason this review earned 4 stars! Will be back for the salad and green beans and pie! And some Guinness on tap, of course!!

Overpriced chicken, a stellar mushroom side, and an aggressive exit strategy…read more After some custom cocktails nearby, our famished group headed to Rye for some dinner and dessert. The space was nice and clean, but unfortunately, the service and the "famous" main course didn't quite deliver a stellar performance. Our table was split--some wanted dinner, some wanted dessert. This apparently threw our waiter into a state of deep existential confusion. The Food: I ordered their "famous" fried chicken, customizing it to three thighs (which came with homemade pickles and a fantastic ham gravy). For $24, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not "famous" for flavor--maybe just famous for the price tag. Honestly, I could have filled up at Popeyes for a fraction of the cost. Surprisingly, the absolute star of my meal was the side of sautéed mushrooms. It came with little pearl onions, shallots, and green peas. I topped it with some of my friend's arugula to make it fancy, and it was delicious. The Service (or lack thereof): Here's where it went downhill. The dessert order became a saga. Those who ordered sweets expected them to arrive with the mains, but we had to ask several times just to get them toward the end of the meal. By the end, our waiter seemed completely frustrated with our existence. He aggressively boxed up the remaining desserts and semi-forcefully shoved the credit card machine into our faces to shuffle us out the door. Great mushrooms, aggressive math at the end. Proceed with caution.
