My only gripe is that I feel like their sauces could be improved. I was not a fan of their lemon, garlic parm, or nashville hot. I did like their "Hot Box" flavor, even though that one is incredibly spicy and not for the faint of heart (it's like a Thai 9)! I think their ranch is okay, but nothing compared to Wingstop's ranch, which I believe is even better than Hidden Valley ranch (I know-- sue me). I think the sides are hit or miss. The mac and cheese - I probably wouldn't reorder. The fries have been stale before, but aren't bad when fresh. Note: there have been times when the styrofoam has melted due to the temperature of the food. It makes me wary of microplastics, so I hope they change their packaging to paper products!

Sunday breakfast for Father's Day... We called ahead as…read moremany places had wait times up to 1.5hrs. The lady over the phone stated the wait was no more than 15 minutes so we decided to head over. Upon arrival they were pretty packed but we managed to be seated right away for a party of 3. A lady walked over and took our drink order. I asked for coffee with cream and she pointed to the end of the table to a bowl that had creamer in it. She didn't say anything just pointed. I thought that was sort of rude but whatever... After she left another waitress came over and took our food order. She was much kinder which was appreciated. We ordered an omelette, pancakes, bacon, eggs and biscuits with gravy. Food arrived in a timely manner and the waitress checked on us from time to time. Overall it was an average experience. Food was decent, and service was okay.

Plus, the building used to be a bank, so you get to enjoy your coffee next to an old vault! We were seated right away, and our server was super friendly and attentive. They kept our coffee cups full, which was great! I loved their clever idea of using white mugs for regular coffee and black mugs for decaf--that made it so easy to tell them apart. We decided to share a sweet roll ($4.19), and oh my goodness, it was definitely big enough for two! For my main, I had the tenderfoot breakfast, which comes with two eggs and either toast or a biscuit. I chose the marble rye toast, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. The over-easy eggs were cooked just right, too. Such a delightful meal!

I grew up in Missouri, and pork tenderloins were just part of life. Then I moved to California…read more.. where nobody seemed to know what a real pork tenderloin was. After that, Arizona gave me amazing Southwest food, but still never scratched that Missouri tenderloin itch. So every time I come back home, the first thing I want is a proper pork tenderloin sandwich. And without question, the best one I've ever had in my life was at 169 Cafe. If you're headed to the airport or passing through Smithville, do yourself a favor and stop here. Get the pork tenderloin, add the onion rings, and thank me later. Absolute perfection and exactly what hometown comfort food is supposed to taste like.

I got an order of biscuits & gravy and bacon. The portions are generous and the food was hot. It is apparent that they have a lot of regulars at this location but they made me, a first timer, feel welcome. The four stars is because as a coffee drinker, no one came around to refill or warm up my coffee. When they brought my check, I had to ask for a refill.

The dining area is so cozy and truly feels like a great place for friends and family to gather. It is a true hidden gem. My favorite thing to order is their half and half with the the Berry Fresh salad and toasted turkey club. A new one for us was the Strawberry Shortcake... Oh my gosh it was incredible. A MUST order from now on! The people that work there make you feel like family, their service is fast and accurate and I will continue to bring my friend to the best place to get lunch in Excelsior Springs!

The server, young guy, did a great job of handling the situation. After the family left, everyone in the restaurant had a bonding/ laugh out loud moment of how terrible that person was and how the young guy responded well. He kept checking in on us while we waited for our dinner. I had the chicken shwarma sandwich and it was delicious.

I figured that is probably pretty standard for restaurants though, so wasn't too concerned about that either. We got a kefta plate, falafel plate, and a mango smoothie to share, as a family. The guy who was working told me the smoothie was just mango syrup and ice, which I thought sounded a bit lackluster, since it cost 8 dollars. My husband took a sip of it + said it was kind of terrible/tasted like blended unripe mango. He said the kefta plate was good, and I thought the falafel + hunmus were also pretty good, although the salad that came with it seemed pretty depressing. Nothing really looked like the pictures I had seen online + I found the overall meal pretty disappointing. The guy working was very nice though + I could tell all of the baked goods were made with a ton of intention, although we didn't get any. I felt like we may have visited on an off day or maybe this place was more of a bakery. If I were in the area, I would definitely try it again for chai/desserts.

The decor is relaxed with bronze and brown and always clean. Take a moment to look up at the ceiling and admire the decor. Our favorite dishes include the Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Vegetable Pakoras, and Saag Paneer. I appreciated being able to "dial in" our level of heat for the entrees to make each custom to our tastes. Service was outstanding from our initial greeting to the filling of our waters. We have eaten in, taken out, but have not tried the family dinners or the buffets, which we'll have to do on our next trip to KC. One caution - They are closed on Tuesdays. Overall, a great stop if you have a layover in KC or are near the airport.
