The salad bar was in bad shape,hadn't been restocked for some time. The pizza was not hot. We got there at 12:20pm and paid $24 for nasty and stayed and tried to eat the buffet. Most of the tables except for 3 were dirty. There was only two people working this business at noon time and were overwhelmed. If I would have been paying better attention,we would've turned around and walked out. Won't be going back to this Gambino's. I don't get no pleasure of writing bad reviews, I just want people to know about this Gambino's so you don't waste your hard earned money.

I recently visited The Russell and it easily became one of my favorite lunch spots in Kansas City…read more The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and full of character, with rustic details and antique decor that make it feel inviting the moment you walk in. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating the space. What really sets this place apart is the wood-fired cooking. Everything is prepared over Missouri hickory and oak, and you can truly taste the difference. The food has this incredible smoky depth that makes every bite feel elevated and intentional. I also love that they source ingredients from local farmers, which really comes through in how fresh and vibrant everything tastes. The menu feels seasonal, thoughtful, and well-executed. The food itself is not only beautifully presented, but packed with flavor. Every dish I tried was cooked perfectly and left a lasting impression. They're open for lunch, and they also offer catering from casual office lunches to full events. I've heard amazing things about their charcuterie boards as well. If you're looking for a unique, high-quality lunch experience in Kansas City, I highly recommend checking out The Russell. It's truly a hidden gem.

I ordered the salmon salad from Russell through DoorDash while staying in a hotel, and the food…read moreitself was really good. The highlight was the salmon. It was a full, nicely cooked piece with great flavor, not a small portion tossed in as an afterthought. The salad had fresh greens, avocado, egg, and plenty of nuts and toppings that made it feel filling and well put together. My only issue was the packaging. The salad container was left fully open inside the bag, and the bag was stapled shut. I did not realize there were staples and cut my hand opening it. Because I was in a hotel and had put a few small items in the bag, they ended up falling right onto the exposed salad when I opened it. For delivery orders, a closed container and a safer seal would make a big difference. Food quality was excellent though, and I would order again, just hoping for better delivery packaging next time.

The food is always good, fresh, full of flavor and consistently delicious. But what stands out the…read moreMOST - is the outstanding staff and manager that this restaurant has! WOOOWW! Talk about customer service! The manager specifically (don't know by name) seems like he's ALWAYS there no matter the day/time - and he always has a smile on his face and a warm greeting and takes the best care of customers from start to finish. There was an older couple in front of me in line one evening and they were a little slower, not exactly sure what they wanted, and the manager was behind the counter just patiently, calmly letting them take their time to make their decisions, and spoke very politely to them. It warmed my heart. No matter if I was in a hurry or not - the manager apologized to me for my wait when I finally got up to order & I applauded him for his patience with the customers and he need not apologize. I late get up to pay, the older man from earlier is now moving slow at the register as well - and again the manager and staff didn't rush him, or put me in front of him just to get me out of the way / they took the time as they should always do with every customer - no matter who it is! So THANK YOU for comping my entire meal that day - you're the BOMB!!!!

I called in an order, picked up early and everything was ready ahead of scheduled pick up time giving us time for a healthy dinner option before a movie. I asked for dressings on the side, the salad was an up charge that they mentioned when I ordered. This is a healthy gem in Olathe and an attractive dinning area if you decide to eat there.

Okay Modern Market, I see you…read more I was on the hunt for a healthy-ish spot for lunch (I mean, hello it is January), when I came upon Modern Market Eatery on Yelp. Upon doing some research I learned it's a scratch kitchen specializing in clean eats, and that it's a chain. A win for the health options, a ding for the chain, but not all chains are bad, an we are living in a time where there are some winners. So, I packed myself up and headed down the road to Prairie Village. It's still fairly new, and it has that squeaky clean feeling to it when you arrive. Inside it's counter service and you seat yourself (they will bring the food to you). It kind of reminded me of how Noodles and Company felt when they first became a thing way back in the early 2000s. I ordered a thai salad that came in at under 400 calories so I was honestly skeptical at how big or flavorful it would really be when it arrived, and holy cow was it good. The chicken was cold, but still held some flavor, the dressing was great, there were fresh veggies, pickled onions. It was one of the best 400 calorie meals I've had in a long time. My dad ordered the salmon curry and he also enjoyed his though I didn't try it so jury's out on my opinion! I left full and happy to have discovered this spot. I'll be back soon!

I ordered the chicken banh mi which came with chips. I also got a side of fire roasted veggies. The…read morebanh mi had a good flavor but for the price I thought it was a bit small and light on the chicken. ($15.30 for a whole sandwich) It had carrots and cilantro and a tangy sauce. The sauce that was on my sandwich was different than the picture online. I did get my order through Uber Eats. The veggies were very fresh and crispy on the sandwich. The fire roasted veggies were not seasoned except for a bit of turmeric but it didn't really have a taste. Overall the food was good and very fresh but the price was a bit high.

My friend and I met for Happy Hour at Whole Harvest Kitchen, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreOur server was Sofhia V, and she was the soul of hospitality. When we told her it was our first visit to the restaurant, she took the time to carefully go over the menus with us (regular, happy hour, and drinks), providing her recommendations when we asked. Her guidance was spot-on-target! For drinks, I had a Mindful Chai and my friend had the 3-Beverage Flight (Golden Hour, Heart Says Thanks, and Tres Raices). My chai was the BEST I have ever tasted (and I order chai every chance I get!), and my friend loved her 3 drinks (she said Tres Raices was her favorite). For our food, we split an order of the Not Queso Dip and the Avocado Tostadas. We were both very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were, and the blend of flavors in each dish that created a unique and yummy taste. The Kitchen has an open, airy layout that inspires deep breathing, while the arrangement and spacing of tables still provides for intimacy of conversation and minimal ambient noise. Sofhia checked back with us several times during our meal to ensure we had everything we needed and were thoroughly enjoying our food and drink (we were!). It was a delightful meal, and we thank Sofhia, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Whole Harvest Kitchen for such a lovely time. We'll be back!!

Mediterranean salad which had fresh ingredients and a nice lemon tahini dressing along with a bowl of chefs choice. The hibiscus oasis was very refreshing.

This is definitely a great lunch spot, the employees were super helpful since the food is Mediterranean, there are a few unfamiliar terms. We got here early and watched it fill up for lunch.

A charming little downtown as well as a great location on the corner. I walked in and was met with small town hospitality and a great smile. The coffee shop was quaint and cozy, and the kind of place that I would like to spend hours had I had the time. Lots of selections and everything sounded good, but I settled on a special that was made for me. It was a cherry Pepsi Americano float. It was delicious and packed full of cherry flavor. (They can also use other sodas!) I also got the lemon poppyseed bread, which made me happy. Next time I come through Iola or even make a day trip, I will definitely stop in and spend some time. They also have other food items beyond pastries and baked goods. Go grab a bite and taste for yourself!

The bartender I've had both times has been so very helpful- he remembered me from my first time in, with my mom instead of my husband, and in quite a friendly way asked how she was doing and if she'd be coming back. [She would, if it wasn't something like a seven hour drive for her to get there.] He was completely willing to answer my MANY questions about the food and drink menu. They premix their cocktails and he was happy to let me try a sip of the ones that interested me. Speaking of.... They're quite ingenious! While cucumber flavor in a drink is hardly revolutionary, red bell pepper IS- and you can taste it! None of them were to my particular liking, but to be honest, I am a bit of a picky eater. He had great patience with me on modifications to my burger- and, again, remembered that I didn't want the sauce. This is honestly a cool little place with a super chill vibe. I AM sad that for a place with a good patio, dogs aren't allowed.... But such is life, I suppose.

This old building has been completely remodeled and looks classic on the exterior and clean and…read moremodern on the inside. The owners are native Chicagoans so they know Italian Beef. The menu is very simple - hot dogs, Italian sausage, Italian beef sandwiches, and French fries, with Italian ice available for dessert. The Italian beef is just like I remember from my trips to Chicago. The giardiniera was a little spicier than I've had previously which means I liked it more that others I've had. And the sausage - oh man, you need to try it. They make their own sausage from the owner's father Benedetto Mammina's recipe and it is good and tasty. My only slight knock is they don't currently offer iced tea, but hopefully that's something they can easily add in the future. I'll definitely be returning to check it out again.
