    Tenderloin
    Ralphie S.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Courtney D.

    Outstanding!!! Counter service and booth seating. Feels like you took a DeLorean back to the 50s. Omelettes are all egg (no filler) with perfectly grilled veggies etc. Come early on weekends if you don't want to join the masses waiting for their turn.

    Great breakfast in a classic diner. Clean restroom and dining area. Quick and attentive service.

    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!!

    Diner.Local.KC AHHHH...Mazing! Must try diner that is not a new joint but a home joint! This place takes you back to the true diner experience, small and quaint and personal service. Come in and seat yourself there are booths for 2 or 4 and tables for 2 to 6. Fits all sizes of parties. Now the great part the food is great. We only snapped a couple of pictures but we were part of a large party and pretty much felt like we tried everything on the menu Tip - biscuit and gravy the 1/2 order is more than enough.

Here's the list: Sunrise, Jolly green, Power BLT, Baked Oatmeal, Croissant French Toast, Salsa Verde Pork &Eggs, Homemade Blueberry Tart and Carrot Cake Pancakes. Something tells me you just can't wait to hear.. the Fresh squeezed Sunrise & Jolly Green juice were so fresh and refreshing my goodness they were like little liquid vitamins drinks. The green went down so smooth with a hint of sweetness. The sunrise was just right for first thing in the morning carrot juice mixture I don't think we get enough of carrot juice but I felt so alive after drinking enough too go in on that Savory Satisfying Salsa Verde and it with the over easy egg on top to bring it home. When delivered it was still hot, the pork was so moist and seasoned darn well the salsa brought the entire thing together with that warm egg yolk I almost hurt myself it is a must try. Then comes the Large Power BLT with added grilled chicken. Listen to me you have to add the grilled chicken it takes it to a whole'nother level with the hickory smoky bacon cooked perfectly the kale and the brussel sprouts bean sprouts grape tomatoes it's just loaded goodness and the dressing being oil based seasons the green because they are raw so keep that in mind. You can literally feed 2-3 people with this salad. It's gonna be a summer staple for me no doubt!!!! Now comes the Baked Oatmeal - I've never had baked oatmeal but I believe they may have changed my mind with the berries I can't explain the warm goodness I think it was cinnamon but the oatmeal is so incredibly inviting so moist and chewy almost like an oatmeal cookie added berries for sweetness I added cream too it and let all my cares extinguish themselves. The Croissant French Toast- is RICH absolutely Rich, buttery toasted 3 pieces of goodness with a great helping of syrup. I say have some eggs and bacon some kind of fat or acidic beverage to cut through the richness, it put me to sleep when I finished it. We have the Homemade Blueberry Tart- ok let's talk.. flaky, buttery, when you break off a piece you layers of dough like someone loves their job. The filling on the inside compared to dough was perfect and very blueberry light sweetness, it's a cross between pop tart and toaster strudel but better. The icing kinda rubbed off in the bag but it was just enough and sprinkles to enjoy. I really liked that!! Yep, I saved the best for last those super moist Carrot Cake Pancakes, where have they been all my life huh where have they been? Just a simple sweet carrot cake with syrup you might as well say, like sponges just absorb the syrup to put you in a food coma and gone add a pad of butter as if, well as if it needed to be rich too flavor explosion just all over the place. I've never had that flavor pancake before but I will again. I wish I knew about this place before now, but it is one great find for any day or any occasion. Every item purchased was made, prepared and packaged with care. HomeGrown clearly loves their job because great things are coming out of that kitchen. I was very impressed my favorites are the Power BLT added grilled chicken and those Carrot Cake Pancakes. I've found another way to get my veggies . If you have not tried this place you got to and apparently they have some several locations. Picture time! I also posted my order and price shall you wanna take a walk on the tasty side of life. Enjoy! It's definitely a Yelp 5*****star. The serving sizes were nice. The price for what I got was perfect for me. The flavors paired well in each item. The excellent care in packing made me really happy. HomeGrown is well worth the investment.

They have a parking lot out front although it isn't big so if you come when it's busy you'll have to find parking elsewhere. As soon as you enter the door there's the hostess station and the restaurant is an L shape with a larger amount of seating off to the left and the kitchen. The restaurant was pretty empty in the AM so if you're able I recommend going early because it was reaching full capacity by 9am. I ordered the coffee cake & a cold brew, the pork hash, and a to go order of bacon and biscuits & gravy. I absolutely recommend getting the coffee cake! It came out steaming and was so delicious. I recommend the caramel sauce on the side as it kept well so I could eat more later. The cold brew was delicious, strong enough for an AM kick without being harsh. The hash was very good I recommend adding hot sauce on it. Everything we ate was so good! My waitress was great, allowed me to take my time enjoying my food & helping me with what to order. I will absolutely be back!
