    Pickle Chips with Ranch dip.

    As soon as we pulled up, sweet car hop came right up immediately after taking the car to our rights order. Being from out of town, we had no idea what to order and she helped us look over the menu. It's obviously a popular spot for the locals. We ordered the Chicken Bacon Philly special with skinny fries & drink, an order of pickle chips, bacon cheeseburger and a small chocolate shake. The food was fresh, hot & delicious! You can't beat the bacon cheeseburger! Plenty of flavor on the pickle chips! The chocolate shake was perfect consistency and super creamy. And the grilled onions on the chicken bacon philly were the best!

    Chatting on those outside picnic tables....

    When my brother said he was going to buy a drive-in in Pleasanton, Kansas I thought he had lost his marbles! It was a place that needed some serious TLC, but my brother saw hope for the little place and wanted to do big things with it. Well, fast forward a few years later, and I have to admit, he has done a SUPER job turning that place around!! He has cleaned it up, changed the menu, added so many different items to keep things new and exciting, and based on the calls and emails i get from him, he truly cares about that small town and its residents. I have had the pleasure of visiting Cookees twice on my trips to see my brother and his family. The first time I went I had to get a basic cheeseburger just to see what the talk was about, and I tell ya, it was a REALLY good burger! It was juicy, and the cheese was melted perfectly, the bacon was crispy, and the fresh lettuce and tomato placed on top combined with the soft hamburger buns made for a really great meal. The second time I went I had the Philly Cheese Steak, since my daughter had that on our first trip and said it was great. Well, she was right!! The girl that cooked it for me really knew what she was doing. The meat, the swiss cheese, the peppers all melted and mixed together in this meaty, cheesy, juicy goodness...and heaped onto this sub type roll was honestly the best Philly I have had to date! Seriously! I have tried Texadelphia and others here in Texas locally, but this one for some reason was just great! I washed it down with a refreshing Cherry Limeaid, and then I complimented the girl that cooked it for me, and told my brother that he really had a good thing going with that item. I am probably a tad bit bias, but I think Cookee's Drive-In is worth the stop if you want some good food, at a decent price! And be sure to stop in on the weekend, where you will find my brother and his wife most likely sitting on the picnic tables outside chatting with the customers. If you do stop in, tell him his brother from Texas said hello, and then ask him " why did you always take the mini-bike from your brother when you were kids?" ha!

    Get the Blu-Jay Special; they make it how you want it and it's very good. The iced tea is really good.

    Longboards has been part of my story since my UMKC days. I first went after hearing all the hype,…read moreand as they've expanded, I've followed them from location to location. When they finally opened in Overland Park, I was ecstatic -- it felt like my old college staple had grown up with me. One side note that says it all: during KU Hospital orientation, HR did that classic icebreaker -- "What's your favorite restaurant?" Someone mentioned Longboards, and instantly a chorus of people chimed in with "Yeah!" That kind of reaction tells you everything -- Longboards isn't just food, it's a Kansas City cult favorite. Menu-wise, they do things differently. Think grilled burrito-style wraps or deli-style cold wraps, but you can make any of them into an "OG" (their giant version with a hard-boiled egg inside) or turn them into a rice bowl. That's what makes it fun -- the creativity of the flavors plus the flexibility to make it your own. My forever go-to is the Argentine quesadilla flat wrap -- steak, shrimp, guac, mozzarella, pico, and chimichurri ranch. It's basically surf-and-turf at a reasonable price, and the flavors just explode. Easily a 10/5. I usually grab a second item too. This time it was the WOW Kung Pao wrap -- chicken, peanuts, veggies, rice, spicy Chinese sauce. Think kung pao stir-fry, but wrapped up. Perfect balance of heat and crunch, a solid 4/5. Over the years , I've also loved the 5 Alarm Beef (spicy, but worth it). The the Cabo chicken/steak (crowd favorites), and the 619 OG (go big or go home) are prety solid too. And don't sleep on their rotating monthly creations -- some of the most fun menu items they've done. My favorite was One Time in Bangkok -- as spicy and naughty as it sounds. Basically a pad thai wrap loaded with Thai Peanut, Spicy Chinese, and 5 Alarm sauce. Absolutely amazing, and another 10/5. Honestly wish they'd make it a permanent menu item. The sauces are what really set Longboards apart. They bottle a few (Thai Peanut, 5 Alarm, Chipotle Ranch, Teriyaki), and I wish they'd sell their Spicy Chinese sauce too -- it's that good. Same with the chimichurri ranch on the Argentine -- I could honestly bathe in both of them. Pro tip: grab a bottle of Thai Peanut sauce and use it at home to instantly level-up Trader Joe's bowls. Sometimes the bottles are half off during happy hour times. I've tried their noodle bowls and rice bowls -- tasty, but rice noodles aren't my thing. And the Hawaiian sliders? Hard pass. Stick to the wraps, flat wraps, or OG-style burritos and you can't go wrong. The staff is always friendly, the food is consistent -- super quick, super fresh, always hot. Seating is limited (this location is mainly carry-out), but I love the surf-inspired vibe with the surfboard-shaped countertop. What makes Longboards stand out most is the value. They've managed to keep prices fair while maintaining high quality -- even post-COVID, when so many places either dropped standards or raised prices. That combination of affordability, creativity, flexibility, and consistency is rare. Longboards is a KC institution for a reason. Five stars every time.

    If you are a first timer the menu can be a bit overwhelming. So many choices! We finally settled on…read morethe Cabo chicken wrap and sushi wrap. The Sushi wrap was big. I could only eat half. It seemed to have a lot of imitation crab and very little shrimp. I could not taste the wasabi mayo at all though it definitely had some sort of mayo base. There was also only 1 piece of cucumber in my half of wrap. It was more like a crab salad wrap. Too wet. I was definitely disappointed as it was not what I expected. The Cabo chicken wrap was much better tasting and I don't like ranch dressing! The dining area was clean and cool. Servers were friendly.

We tried Café Celeste on a whim, not expecting much, but we absolutely LOVE their wraps! They taste especially good after a lively stroll through the peaceful and serene Arboretum. I am afraid I can only review the wraps because I am a creature of habit. Once I find something I like, I go back to it again and again. Both the chicken Cesar salad wrap and the southwest chicken wrap are delish. Café Celeste cuts them in half, so sometimes my husband and usually share one half of the wrap with each other. You truly can't go wrong with the wraps! We have also had the tropical smoothie and it is scrumptious. The service is marvelous. The workers are friendly and they make the wraps fresh, right there while you wait. Like I said, I haven't tried anything else, but the rest of the menu looks great. If you are in doubt and wondering if you should try Café Celeste, please do and let me know what you think! Bon appétit!

The service was good and they had snacks, bakery items and food items (I didn't try them, but they looked good)! The shop is bright and welcoming and a definite plus to view gardens if you want to leave the shop. There is seating inside the shop and some small tables outside and you can take your beverage or food out on the Arboretum patio. They had smoothies as well but they didn't seem to have many syrup choices that I saw on the menu. I don't have photos as I got soaked with rain at the Arboretum so I left quickly.

    OMG. This is a small town tavern serving so pretty good BBQ. I'd heard about it from a friend and…read moresaid their pork ribs are outstanding and they run out. So for me I'm not a rib person I savored their other meats. I had the brisket and polish sausage. I found it interesting how they sliced it (really thin) but for me I got a good taste of the flavor I felt and don't worry they didn't skip on the portions. I got the regular 2 meat sandwich with no bread. They have their own sauce which has a great taste as well. I tried their spicy pickles and I did enjoy it. I would like to see them take their own sauce as I enjoyed the clover and add some kick to it lol. The lady who waited on me was extremely friendly and knew I was not from there and explained everything. It is a small town tavern in the middle of the town Williamsburg nice peaceful and you feel at home. They were not busy when I got there but by the time I left I felt it was standing room only. NOTE!!!!!!!! They are CASH orCHECK only so be prepared. It's worth it just about 20 minutes south of KC

    Well worth the short detour off I-35 at Exit 170, south to Williamsburg, but be prepared, this is a…read morecash only joint. ATM available for the unprepared. I wouldn't say G&M is divey, but divey adjacent. Beers are cheap, and the food is delicious. I ordered a slab of ribs, so I would have some to take home. They had a great bark, delicious flavor, and were literally fall off the bone. They didn't require sauce, which is good, as the only sauce at G&M's was a bit sweet for my taste. Don't pass up the Jalapeño Pickles! I had the potato salad and beans, both I thought leaned sweet as well, however, the Jalapeño Pickles may have thrown off my taste buds. Pay attention on your way back to the highway, because if you stay on the main road, you will be headed in the opposite direction.
