Great food, great atmosphere, family feel. Don't skip this place. It will become your go to for breakfast. Please refrain from going Sundays around 11:00 AM so I don't have to wait to get in. Thanks read more

The waiter ("Joe") is interesting. I'm about to eat so I'll wait to finish this review. So, today was our first day eating here and though most of the food tasted great, the service was horrible. A warm body was our server and I so wish that more people would take more stock in giving excellent service. The hostess also lacked great service. Maybe they are both very shy, and I get it if they are but it's tough to stick to a place where you won't be treated like their job and tip depends how well they treat customers. The pancakes tasted great. Our first pancakes came out cold. But we caught someone else and asked for two hot pancakes. I'd go back and give them another chance. I love the music and decor. read more

This place was perfect for a brunch! Everyone is so friendly. There may be a line but it is worth the wait!

No stars from me, they didn't even cook my eggs correctly, the ham slice is sooo thin ( go to TJ's in Grandview, their ham is thick ), my pancake was cold, didn't even melt the butter, hot a new pancake, was not even cooked all the way through, all doughy, I complain to cashier, he laughed at me, NICE !! Apparently they don't care read more

This place is great for kids before you go to wonderscope. My omelet was actually pretty good. Kids enjoyed the pancakes. Bacon was crispy. Otherwise it's pretty basic but reliable. read more

So, I'll start by saying this review is really a 3.5 - Caleb's is clean and friendly with plenty of variety on their menu to make even the pickiest of eaters happy. Breakfast is sort of my jam, so I was excited to see a new place (new to me anyway) while driving over to visit my mother in South KC before the Coronavirus put a kibosh on my regular, weekend, dining out breakfast routine (and pretty much everything else for the foreseeable future). I had a hard time making a choice with so many great options on the menu. As proof, I ordered the Cowboy Skillet with my eggs basted instead of scrambled, and just out of pure indecisiveness, I also added a side biscuits and gravy. Let's not judge people - I always have to try the b&g. My 80+ mother selected the Kitchen Sink omelette and spent the next few minutes talking about how the price seemed a little high. Now, to be fair, I think the prices are pretty on par with most breakfast joints in town. It should also be noted that the last time my mom actually PAID for breakfast was probably 1995. So, there's that. As my mom was going through her weekly rundown of who she saw at church, the grocery store and Sam's Club, our food arrived to save the day. Mom's omelette looked great, and despite a few more comments about how much it was, she seemed to enjoy it. My skillet was tasty with my eggs perched on top of shredded hash browns, bacon, red peppers and cheesy goodness. It was a tad on the greasy side, but still good overall. The biscuits and gravy made a decent showing as well with fluffy biscuits baked to perfection. The gravy had plenty of sausage and a savory taste, but it was a little too thick and pasty for my liking. I felt it needed a little more milk. You know how when you go to DQ and they always turn the Blizzard upside down when they hand it to you to prove how thick it is? Yeah, I imagined my waitress being able to do that with my bowl of gravy. But, don't be fooled, I still ate every bite. Like I said, all in, Caleb's is good. This first visit just didn't have me doing the white man overbite dance at my table. However, I saw French toast on the menu, so Caleb will be on my dance card for at least one more jam. read more

When we walked in one of the waiters was arguing with hostess about not sitting people in his section, saying "how the f am I supposed to make any money". This was definitely not a great first impression. We were seated in the same waiters section and he did a good job serving us. My husband and I both got scramblers, which were ok but too dry for my liking - to each their own. My husband's English muffin looked perfect, though mine was pretty dark and had black edges - had to eat around it. The cokes were A+. It was an ok experience, but probably not somewhere I'm planning on going again. read more

Great food, staff, and I really appreciate the newspaper with positive highlights from around the country. read more

I've been searching for a good breakfast spot for awhile now. My search is finally over. The food is amazing. Not like any food spot around. Food is flavorful and made with love. Service was top notch. Very polite. read more

Looks great outside, like a nice lodge with festive lighting. Inside however it's a bit the opposite I'd say. We weren't sure if we wanted to stay. Service is kind and courteous, tables are served timely. Food was good, nothing super special, but good quality/enjoyable. It feels more family/group oriented than anything else. Pricing is very reasonable and makes it affordable for everyone. Thanks Caleb's it was nice meeting you! read more

This corner restaurant is lovely. Caleb's opens early for daily menu choices. We love the food, service and ambiance

Food was fresh and delicious, service was too notch.... And such a beautiful comfortable space.... Not close to home but worth the trip.... I'll be back recommend southern Cal omelette read more

A clean and pleasant environment for breakfast & lunch. Service is always quick and friendly. My favorite breakfast entree is the Lobster omelet!! It is delicious and packed with lobster! All meals are around $10 and you get large servings. read more

I visited this establishment this morning . Waited almost 10 minutes before I even got a cup of coffee . Observed other guests coming in and were quickly greeted and waited on . After I place my order and received my food , it was cold and undercooked . The manager eventually did come over . Made an excuse about their food always comes out hot. Stated he would talk to the Cook about preparing the waffles better . I left and paid my $3.24 for my coffee . Will not return . Seems if you're not a regular , you are an insignificant customer . read more

In Kansas City for a few days, and stopped by Caleb's since they were close and open on New Year's day. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, and the food was alright. I got the chicken fingers and my kid got breakfast french toast. The chicken fingers were a little dry, but tasty. The French toast was great. Large portions. It's the type of place that I would go to again, but not necessarily seek out. Know what I mean? read more

South KC is starting to lay claim to some solid restaurants and for that I am thrilled. Caleb's is only a few minutes from where we live and I LOVE brunch. Let me start off by saying that the food is good, tasty even. No complaints when it comes to the food. It was the service that was ... well ... weird. As soon as our server came over, he immediately told us not to ask him questions about the food because everything should be answered on the menu. When he came back to take our order, he proved that he definitely mean that statement: My mother-in-law asked if he could recommend / narrow down the omelette selections for her. His response: "No, no no, I don't give recommendations, ever. I don't know what you like. I don't know your preferences. I don't know what you've had to eat today. I don't do recommendations." Um, okay? I really wanted fruit, but I'm allergic to a few. I asked him what was in the fruit bowl. A blank stare and "A fruit medley" was the response. Are there bananas? "No." Are there kiwis? "No" End of discussion. He moved on to taking the next person's order. It ended up coming with pineapple, grapes, honeydew, and cantaloupe which was fine. But, come on. "Fruit Medley" is different everywhere! Chic-Fil-A serves theirs with strawberries, apples, mandarin oranges, and blueberries. Little things were forgotten throughout the course of the meal: creamer for the coffee, straws for our water, the toast that came with my meal, and any sort of acknowledgment whenever we would say "thank you" for bringing us what we needed. We'll probably come back because of the convenient location, but hopefully get someone who is a bit more seasoned as a server. read more

I went there for the second time today. I was underwhelmed by the food. Nice, clean environment, but I really dislike when restaurants attempt to rush you out by offering boxes and attempting to bus the table when I'm still eating. I am a slow eater and usually eat out to not only get nutrition, but to visit with family or friends. I realize they are a busy establishment , but they still had empty tables and booths when we left. The food. Blueberry pancake had about 6 blueberries and part of one side was missing. Coffee was good, I was surprised that the coffee in the carafe was cold when I poured a second cup. The bathroom was nice and clean. There are less expensive places that serve breakfast that I would choose next time. read more

Wow! What a great place! We stopped on for late breakfast/early lunch. Mom had crepes and I had the Triple Crown sandwich. Everything was simply delicious! We loved the cozy restaurant. It was peaceful and beautifully decorated. We had great service (Dena). It would be hard not to order the same thing on my next visit because that sandwich was delicious, but there are so many other options to try. The place was sparkling clean, right down to the restrooms. Well done! I can't wait to recommend this place to friends. read more

Caleb's - Crepes! They come with a muffin too. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Tried out Caleb's for a late breakfast/early lunch today. It was not busy at all (Tuesday around 11:15) and we were seated promptly. Our server was very friendly- she got our drinks and our food orders quickly. Our portions were very large- the Mexican omelette with breakfast potatoes and the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries. Both were good. If in the area, I'd definitely stop by for breakfast or lunch! read more

Great food & service. Quaint vibe. Great neighborhood spot. Loved the lobster omelet. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu

I was chaperoning my daughter's soccer team and the crew at Caleb's was so accommodating. They gave us a room to seat 18 people and the service was amazing. They were quick to take our orders and the wait for our food was not more than 15 minutes. Our drinks stayed full and the food was fantastic. If you are traveling with a team, I high fly recommend this spot! read more

We went here today for the first time!! It was delicious and quick, we had two kiddos with us and they were able to get their orders in right away. Lunch. Items were tasty and my friends breakfast sandwich looked good too! They even gave a discount on my child's meal because we had our wonderscope membership what a great way to support another local business, we will be going back again, for sure!! read more

On Sunday 31 Mat at 11 am I arrived to meet friends before I returned to California after being in KC for a week. I had my little well behaved dog with me. He is not a barker... a Shitzthu ... I saw that there was outside seating from going by to a friends house on a previous day. So thought great outdoor seating and my dog Biscuit would be able to sit on the patio. Well Caleb's does not allow dogs on the patio even. So 6 people for breakfast turned away. We walked down to Crows the Coffee Shop and no problem to sit outside with my pet. Seems all is needed to get a permit from the city. Guess Caleb's does not need the business... as a person visiting KC did not leave a position feeling and for someone who use to live in KC. I have been to other restaurants in KC with my pet and sat outside with no problem. Needless to say I will not go to Caleb's again when visiting in KC... read more

Caleb's never disappoints when we try new things. I had a Benedict without hollandaise, and my partner tried a Cajun omelet. Both were scrumptious. The coffee is good here too. Speedy service makes it a go-to whenever we visit KC. The table/booth combination is just what we like. read more

I'm a breakfast lover and this place was delicious! I did go on a Saturday so it was a little packed but we didn't wait for more than 15 minutes! The waiter and host were so nice and kept us updated on our table wait time. read more

The gluten free options are good. I love their waffle! The service is great! The place is family friendly too.

Stopped in on a Sunday morning to get some take out breakfast. Still not ready to eat in person in a restaurant without a mask on, but it's clear that Calebs has taken the necessary steps to keep their staff and customers safe. We did order once we arrived, food came out relatively quickly and we were able to go to the car and eat. The food was given just as ordered and overall good. The bread was definitely high quality which makes for great toast. The potatoes were rather salty, almost to the point of too salty so didn't eat more than a few bites. Would opt for hash browns next time. read more

Caleb's - The classic two eggs (whites), toast and home fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We absolutely LOVE Caleb's! We visit at least a couple times per month, and we have never been disappointed! My very favorite dish is the very Veggie omelet, with their amazing hollandaise sauce! And whatever you do, don't miss their homemade ranch dressing. It's out of this world! The service at Caleb's is always outstanding, even at their busy times... And you will NOT be disappointed! Bring your appetite, as the portions are huge! This is a wonderful local-owned establishment! 10/10 recommend! This is a darling locally owned establishment, with staff that go above and beyond to make it a great dining experience. Caleb's is a wonderful place! read more

Amazing. Like I would just leave it at that but everything was perfect so I want to make sure everyone gets their flowers lol. First of all the service is amazing. Tina was our server today and she was so sweet and on top of everything. Shout out to her because we'll definitely be coming back and asking for her specifically! The cinnamon roll French toast was perfect. Really. I usually stay away from things like that because they tend to be really really sweet but these were the perfect level. Not too sweet and not bitter. The bread itself was perfectly toasty and not too eggy tasting. Literally the perfect French toast, I devoured it! My boyfriend has the rio grande omelette without black beans and he said it was really good. I ate his toast (I love bread) and the sourdough they used was really good quality. Wrapping it all together the bill was only $20 for 2 full meals. Great food quality & incredible service and you spend the same amount as you would at a breakfast chain. We had no complaints at all! Found a new favorite spot (: read more

Caleb's was a nice surprise in south KC we discovered a few months ago. Late Saturday morning we stopped in for a late breakfast / early lunch. Lovely little venue. Very clean. Very professional staff, overly accommodating. We were immediately seated. Nice menu with all your regular options and a few fun surprises. I ordered the standard all-American breakfast. It came out hot with my eggs cooked properly... score! Boyfriend got the breakfast tacos, he liked them quite a lot. Highly recommended. Assuming this is locally owned and operated, we give it a solid two-thumbs-up recommendation... SUPPORT LOCAL! read more

The service was very friendly and the food was excellent. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and side salad. I'll be back to try more

Oof. I ordered 1/2 portion of biscuit and gravy (to try for comparison), and a Canadian bacon English muffin Eggs Benedict. So I had to add pepper and salt(!) to make the gravy have some sort of flavor - not just a pasty taste. The biscuit seemed like one out of a Wonderbread bag from the grocery, nothing going for it. Worst of all was the Hollandaise sauce, it was totally broken. I mean a homemade sauce that's obviously broken (overcooked egg yolks) shouldn't be served, period. The potatoes on the side I expected to be like typical breakfast chunks, but I got hasbrowns for some reason. All in all, if you enjoy food that's similar to a grade school cafateria, you might find this place to your liking. I won't be back. read more

Great breakfast spot! Reasonably priced and has a wide menu which includes everything from pancakes and French toast to healthy options to those watching carbs or cholesterol. I had the breakfast quesadilla which was delicious! So filling I only ate half and took the rest home. Fluffy eggs, green onion, sausage and cheese. Served with your choice of potatoes. Coffee cream lovers- They have 2 or 3 options of flavored cream at the table which excited me because if there is no cream there is no coffee. Very family friendly atmosphere. Also has changing table in the bathroom. read more

Ate breakfast here twice in a four day stay. Definitely the best breakfast in the vicinity of our hotel. Good assortment of interesting and well prepared offerings, though not elaborate. Host and wait staff were friendly and efficient. Eclectic decor with modern furnishings and old/antique decorations made for a comfort and pleasant setting. Will eat here again in future visits. read more

For this type of place (breakfast primarily and lunch) it was excellent. A diverse menu with omelettes, biscuits and gravy etc. I had the chicken fried steak (aka Country Fried Steak for far north folks), scrambled eggs, hash browns and a biscuit with a side of gravy plus coffee. Service was friendly and excellent. Several additional items available like jellies, two hot sauces etc. highly recommend. Not a light breakfast place but a good one! read more

Just ate here with the whole family. The waitress was friendly and accommodating for my special needs child. We order breakfast and lunch items and all were fresh and delicious. A nice place to take your family or groups of friends for a relaxing and inviting breakfast or lunch. Bonus, my kids gave the ranch two thumbs up! read more

The food is always phenomenal and well worth the wait if you go on the weekend. Would definitely recommend the biscuits and gravy but haven't had a meal yet that I didn't like! read more

I liked the flexible menu, which offered breakfast or lunch items all day. My Santa Fe salad with muffin of the day ($8.99) was served in just 12 minutes. The salad was delicious, with a generous portion of grilled chicken, and a tasty dressing. The muffin was warm, moist, and also delicious. The dining area was fairly open, with classical background music, while the service was cheerful and attentive. Overall, very nice! read more
