The food is always delicious, and the service outstanding. Old school diner with a great atmosphere.

Mmmm! These hash browns are worth the trip! Best ever! Get there early as this is a small classic diner and fills up quickly! Just good hot meal served by friendly staff! Nothing fancy about the place but man some good grub!

Awesome breakfast! Came here two days in a row because it was that good! One time we ordered the biscuits and gravy, and Dagwood sandwich, the other time we ordered the country fried steak with a breakfast burrito. All the food was delicious! Biscuits and gravy were flavorful and plentiful. The Dagwood sandwich was loaded and probably was the favorite. The country fired steak was good and plenty of food. The breakfast burrito with chorizo was ok, not great and honestly left more to be desired. Overall still a great place to get your breakfast fix!

Tenderloin

For almost 90 years Dagwood's has served KCK's Rosedale neighborhood. A lot of neighborhood style greasy spoons have come and went - Nichols' Sanderson's, Sydney's, Waid's, Marcy's,Chubby's... but Dagwood's and a small handful of others continue the tradition of booth and counter seating while creating all the basic breakfast and lunch staples that we all need and crave. Burgers, omelets. B&G... I stopped this past Sunday to do a bit of Tenderloin therapy. I've been on a bit of a rampage / fact finding mission with this Midwestern staple and Dagwood's offering was above average. Tender, breaded well, tons of fresh toppings (lettuce, onion, pickles, tomato) and horseradish for the asking. Large and reasonably priced. Don't forget the fries AND rings basket - you can have both! My water was kept filled and waitresses were pleasant and efficient. A solid 4 on all fronts.

This place is great. It's an old fashioned diner. A place for any walk of life. Atmosphere was simple. Service was very attentive. Solid menu - went for breakfast but lunch looked good. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. Sausage was spicy in a great kick way, not overpowering. Pancakes were huge - very soft and fluffy. Overall great place. I won't complain about parking but be patient though.

Stepping back in time with nostalgic vibes, Dagwood Café offers a delightful experience reminiscent of the past. I appreciate the old-school diner atmosphere and the variety of breakfast and dinner options available. I ordered the half portion of chicken fried steak, and my husband particularly enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. Both dishes reminded us of the home-cooked meals from our grandparents.

best food! always good service is classic diner and fun. VERY busy on sat and sunday morning. They stop call in orders after 9am that helps a lot with turnover.

I ventured out to visit a Kansas City landmark, Dagwood's Cafe, which has been serving the community since 1938. Located in Kansas City, Kansas, Dagwood's Cafe is a quaint establishment offering freshly prepared breakfast and lunch options. The menu features an array of classic American dishes, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal. If you're in the Rosedale area, I recommend stopping by for a bite. Location: 1117 Southwest Blvd KCK. Hours: Monday - Saturday 6am-2pm, Sunday 7am-2pm.

Excellent local diner - as I expected. You can't be in business for nearly 100 years and not be excellent. What was also excellent was the price! Inflation hasn't hit hard here. I had a biscuit and gravy (excellent slightly spicy gravy), bacon, hash browns (fried crispy) and an egg over medium. They kept my cup of coffee full, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable brunch.

Christian A.

A cozy, delicious diner! Felt like I was on Route 66 in the Cars movie. Lisa was so friendly, and it was a homely feeling. No wonder they have so many loyal regulars! Food was incredible, special shoutout to the biscuits and gravy, chicken Philly omelette, and the chocolate chip pancake!

Big Dagwood Omelette

2 time around and it was verrry good. Staff was super efficient considering how busy it was. The ingredients were some of the best , bacon was fantastic. Great breakfast.

Kalana M.

first off love the old diner feels, prices are great just like the portions! got some blueberry pancakes, and the chorizo breakfast skillet with gravy! loved the skillet will definitely be back for one of those! service was good they all work really well as a team!

TWO EGG BREAKFAST with bacon
Kevin P.

This is probably the closest diner you get to in Kck unless you go to Waffle House. It's a great spot to get good, quick, and diner food! The service is exactly what you would expect from a diner. Take your order and help out minimally but that's why you go to a diner! Check it out for sure!!

I'm starting to look at coffee shops a little differently these days. Obviously quality of food and…read moreofferings are important but the type of space is critical. As I venture further into consulting and meet with more people, I'm less interested in simply asking, "Is this a good coffee shop?" and more interested in, "Who is this place good for?" I came to Prairie specifically looking for somewhere to collaborate. Good tables, enough room to spread out papers, sit across from someone, compare laptops and actually have a conversation without feeling like you're taking over the entire coffee shop. Urban Prairie absolutely fits that bill. What I wasn't expecting was how much more there was to it. There's a game store attached, which was such a cool surprise, plus another room with larger tables that would be even better for brainstorming or working with a small group. Then right in the middle you still get that classic cozy coffee shop atmosphere people actually want. Some people need a quiet corner and headphones. Some need a place to catch up with a friend. Some of us show up with two laptops, papers everywhere and ideas to work through. Urban Prairie gives you options for all three. I'm going to keep trying different coffee shops around KC with that mindset because sometimes the best review isn't whether a place is "good." It's whether it's the right place for what you need that day.

Delicious breakfast burritos and a great London fog! I wish I would've read the summer menu though…read morebecause I probably would've liked their blueberry latte. The burritos came with cholula and fire roasted salsa which tasted great. Baristas were nice and quick with drinks. It was a hopping morning here! Art on the walls was so fun and they had several seating options- we went for the couch and it was great! Will be coming back!

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

I've been here only once and I'm now just set on going again and making this a regular stop for me…read more Everyone is very friendly, the setup is insanely cute, and the coffee is some of the best I've had in the Mission area. As someone who used to regularly go stop at Barnes and Noble, for a Starbucks coffee and a place to read or work before the nearby place or two shut down, the bookstore and coffee shop combo is always a welcome one in my eyes. I can't say enough that hasn't already been said, but still, worth a visit if you want to go to a spot like this.

First of…read moreall, I want to say hell yes to more locally owned coffee shops in Johnson County, and this one fits in perfectly along the Johnson Drive strip. When you walk in it feels a bit more urban than suburban, which is a nice thing when one is in the 'burbs. The baristas are friendly, the wifi works great, and the bookstore is small but mighty. It's not a huge cafe, but on the rainy morning I was there, I was able to find a table. The dirty chai I had was really tasty. My only quip was that they charge you more for a double shot than a single. I know Starbucks does this, but at a small local spot it confounds me since usually machines pull a double as the standard, and even if you are pulling a single, you'd use the same amount of ground espresso - or at least that's how it was back in my Latte Land days (if that dates me for other KC locals). At any rate, that's a small grievance. I'll for sure be back and continue to tell folks about this amazing local find!

I ended up stopping in here two days in a row. Now, I haven't actually tried any of their pastries,…read morebut I absolutely adore their drinks. Maybe I'm not the creative type, but in this world of iced coffee and tea.... I truly never thought to try an iced London Fog. It is delicious. I've also had their iced Matcha Agave. So very good. They aren't cheap, that's for sure, and given how much the ingredients must cost.... I have to say I think they're overpriced. Delicious, but overpriced. It means that instead of getting one every day- and I absolutely could drink at least one a day- I'll get one once a week, and start making my own at home. The one complaint I have about their drinks is this: coffee seeps into EVERYTHING, even the glass bottles they use. I could smell coffee whenever I took a sip of my Matcha today, and it was an unpleasant thing, rather off putting. They ought to adopt the practice of using some jars for coffee and some for ONLY non coffee beverages, to avoid that. The shop itself is pretty cool- not a TON of seating, but huge bookshelves filled with books that customers can just take and return. Everyone I've run into has been friendly, and I've noticed the times that I've been there that even with no customers in the shop, they seem to keep themselves busy rather than looking at their phones. So.... Altogether pretty great so far with the exception of the residual coffee small and high prices.

Searching for a new spot to try matcha and while waiting for my drink ended up staying for a meal!…read moreI was greeted Darwin, who also helped me select my entree. He also made my matcha drink. Afterwards I took a walk around the place, getting a vibe of the decor which pays homage to 1950s sports culture.. trophies, gear, portraits and pics of athletes. The seating combined stoic bar stools and opposite faux leather booth/ table arrangement. It's very eclectic. Seated at the bar, Anna who was preparing my meal chatted with me on the restaurants origins and owner Jacob also affiliated with Noka & Russell stopped over to welcome me. The food ... my crab cake sandwiches and fries were quite delectable. The crab was not fishy and it have deep smoke like flavor, one of a kind. Nice leisurely visit!

Honestly my lunch at Le Champion was just about perfect…read more To start off I had high hopes. The photos looked amazing, and this place has solid reviews so I was walking in with a certain expectation. What was remarkable is how it was even better than I thought it would be. Let's start with the ambiance. The actual cafe is very small but charming. If it's cold or rainy outside you might need to skip Le Champion unless it's not busy as I think only a few folks can really fit inside. The inside is well designed though, and feels charming without being overwhelming. What stole the show for me though was the patio. As someone who studied abroad in France it felt so French to me in the best way. To me, it feels like taking a Parisian cafe and mixing it with a hip KC bar - it doesn't feel necessarily exactly like one or the other, but it compliments both and feels uniquely it's own in the best way possible. On the day I visited it was absolutely gorgeous outside and I had one of the best breakfast burritos of my life, mostly due to their chimichurri sauce. I also pretty much add a star for any place that keeps espresso tonic on the menu. Overall I love Le Champion and can't wait to return.

The staff was helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. One thing I really appreciated is that both their 12 oz and 16 oz drinks come with two shots of espresso, which is a nice bonus. They also have some really unique flavor combinations. I ordered the hot Blackberry Buckle Latte and added white chocolate mocha. I'd never had a blackberry coffee before, and it was surprisingly delicious. It wasn't overly sweet or syrupy. Instead, it had a more balanced, almost savory flavor. You could actually taste the blackberry without it overpowering the coffee, making for a really unique and enjoyable drink. The only downside is that the inside is pretty small. If they're busy, it can feel crowded with customers waiting and ordering since there's not much room to move around. However, they do have outdoor seating with four tables (three shaded by umbrellas) and about six additional individual chairs, making it a nice option to enjoy your coffee outside. Overall, if you're looking for creative coffee flavors, quality espresso, and friendly service, Hi Hat Coffee is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of their unique drinks!
