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.

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.

TWO EGG BREAKFAST with bacon

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!!

If you haven't tried HomeGrown yet, PLEASE do yourself a favor and go!…read more We absolutely love the HomeGrown restaurants in Wichita, so when we were near Kansas City and discovered this location, we had to stop in. It was the best meal of the trip. What I love most about HomeGrown is that even though there are several locations, it doesn't feel like a big restaurant chain. It feels like a hometown café where people genuinely care about the food and the community. They make a real effort to source their meat and other ingredients locally whenever possible, and you can taste the difference. The food is fresh, comforting, and delicious, and there's just something about the whole atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. We were told this location has only been open a little over a year and they are hoping for this location to get busier. That honestly surprised me, because this is exactly the kind of restaurant I want to see succeed. So if you're anywhere near this HomeGrown, please go give them a try! Bring your family, meet a friend for breakfast or lunch, and discover a great local-feeling restaurant that deserves to be busy. We already love HomeGrown in Wichita, and now we're rooting for this location, too!

I really love HomeGrown Brunch and will definitely keep coming back. The food is usually fresh and…read moredelicious, and the service is consistently friendly. On a previous visit, I had the gluten-free pancakes and asked if they could add blueberries. They were happy to accommodate, and they turned out amazing! This last visit was a little different. The service was a bit slow, but nothing terrible. I decided to try the chilaquiles after a recommendation, and I wish I had stuck with their classic breakfast items instead. The sauce tasted more store-bought than homemade, there was very little added pork, and the dish was underwhelming overall. Meanwhile, my friends ordered the traditional American breakfast plates, and everything looked fresh and tasted great. I'd definitely recommend HomeGrown Brunch--just stick to what they do best: their classic breakfast menu. It's always fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for.

If…read moreyou don't believe that, then be sure to check their 'waitlist' option on their site because it generally has a population, especially on weekends. A constant: people go where the food & service will bring them back. Plenty of seating in the restaurant plus a long (full) bar and that's a good thing, because when Snooze is busy, the place fills up. The menu has a great array of traditional breakfast fare and then a selection of Snooze specialties like their Shrimp & Grits. My lovely wife can be particular about her grits, like any good Southerner, and she feels that Snooze's execution is *spot on*. Grits aren't mushy, shrimp is perfectly cooked, and the andouille provides the right amount of heat. I'm a sucker for their griddle game, so either the French toast or the buttermilk pancakes suit me fine. The cakes are HUGE and fresh and the syrup is real Vermont maple, not some HFCS 'flavored' syrup. IYKYK. Service and atmosphere are just right. It's a breakfast/lunch spot, so Snooze is done by mid-afternoon. Our server, Sydney, was friendly and patient as we dawdled in making a choice. But our orders were prompt & perfect with Sydney checking on us at the right cadence. We didn't booze it this time, but they do have a lineup of mimosas or other morning faves like a Bloody Mary. Adulting and brunch is a fabulous combo, so Snooze has you covered. Great food and a wonderful spot - and do check the waitlist if you're curious about availability!

Tiny parking lot. Also street parking…read more Great breakfast. Service is awesome. So friendly. Great music/playljst. The coffee had excellent flavor. OK was fine. Blueberry pancake. 9/10.
