The food is good, there is no getting around that. So the next complaints are minor but keep it from 5 stars. With a name like Ginger Sue's I was expecting muffins, cinnamon rolls, and other breakfast baked goods, but there were not anything (unless you counts pancakes, waffles, and french toast, but I don't). They eggs were really good, so again no complaints about what was on the menu. Also it is very noisy. It is one big open room with no sound dampening. So everything echoed and it was hard to hear the people at my own table. Speaking of it being a big open room, there is no decor. Just tan walls, blank tables, and wooden chairs, it could use some spurring up. Again, with a name like Ginger Sue's I was sort of expecting maybe a rustic or country look. But nothing, just chairs and tables. The wait staff was polite and quick, they kept my coffee full. No complaints about the service outside of I couldn't tell who worked there because there was no uniform. I didn't notice anyone inappropriately dressed, but coupled with the lack of decor and no dress code, it seems lacking. Also I went on Mother's Day, and there was a 20 minute wait, which was fine. I kind of expect that sort of wait for a Mother's Day breakfast. But when we got a table I notice there were a lot of empty tables which suggested they were understaffed for Mother's Day. And I can't help but think there wouldn't have been any wait if they were fully staffed. And I did over hear other customers complaining about that. At the end of the day, I would go back and would recommend it for someone looking for something new for breakfast. read more

Went there on a Sat almost noon. It was REALLY LOUD in there. Could barely here the person I was with right across the table. Like my head was starting to hurt loud. I've never been in a restaurant so friggin loud. It's probably cause there's nothing on the walls, no curtains, nothing. Just cheap chairs and tables. This place is bare bones. Had an omelette and French roast. Decided to pass on the $5 smoothie and just went with water. The food was ok, but the omelette was kinda skimpy. I wasn't impressed. There's better choices for breakfast. I hate to say it but IHop is better. You get more for your hard earned money. And more choices too. The Big Biscuit is also really good. If you decide to go, take aspirin. Your gonna need it with all the noise. read more

Best tasting pancakes and french toast I've ever had! Food is amazing and super quick!

It pains me to give 2 stars to Ginger Sue's, as cute as the Liberty location looks, right off the historic square. But I haven't been to that one. A friend and I were hungry in Lee's Summit one Saturday and gave this one a try. The food was good. I got a salad with grilled salmon; the salmon was moist and well seasoned, with a nice vinaigrette dressing. I tried a piece of my friend's fried fish, and it was crispy on the outside and tender-flaky on the inside. But the NOISE! The place was packed, and I don't think there's a stitch of fabric or carpet in the place to absorb the sound. And can we put the blender in the back, out of the dining room, please? Their smoothies must be really good, because that blender ran almost non-stop the whole time we were there, making it almost impossible to hold a conversation. Our server was nice, and the breakfast menu especially looked inviting. But I think I'll try the little one up on sleepy Liberty Square next time. read more

Excellent breakfast! We had the Farmers omelet with egg whites and the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious. The side of potatoes was hot and seasoned perfectly. And these might be the friendliest staff in Lee's Summit! read more

My favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything my husband and I have tried there, we have liked. The biscuits and gravy are great and make sure to try the blueberry pancakes!! My husbands favorite is the Fish and Chips. He swears by them! read more

The only downside to this place is that is has a very "chain restaurant" vibe... other than that, the food is amazing and the service is wonderful. Not a place to go for aesthetics, but definitely for yummy pancakes! read more

My friend and I came for brunch. The restaurant itself is very cookie-cutter, not decorated and very simple in design. The food is nothing like the restaurant! We both ordered the crab meat eggs benedict and a side of one pancake, because YES you can order ONE pancake! I love my salty with my sweet so that was a perfect pairing! The benedict was very good, the crab meat was great! I asked for plain sausage as I'm not a fan of spicy sausage and it came out fine! read more

We arrived at 10:20 am on a lovely summer Sunday and there were people waiting on the porch outside the restaurant - quite a few people. I was discouraged and wanted to try another place but my daughter insisted on checking. She came back to the car and said the wait was 15 minutes. Well, that's downright reasonable, so we stayed. I'm glad we stayed. The wait was only about 10 minutes - nice! We had an attentive server who was funny. We got our drinks immediately and we all got complimentary water as well as our other drink orders - nice #2! Our food was brought out super fast (nice #3), and the orders were all correct (#4). Now the really great part - oh my gosh was that food delicious! (#5,6,7 - because there were 3 of us). I had a build-your-own omelet with a biscuit and potatoes on the side. I asked if the potatoes were hash browns and our server said they were cut chunks and fried with rosemary - ok, I thought - I'll give it a go. I really, really hope I get a chance to come have those potatoes every month for the rest of my life because they were absolutely amazing. Oh my goodness... My daughter had a breakfast burrito which was more like a crepe, but she enjoyed it. Her boyfriend had biscuits and gravy and he said it was amazing. The only downfall of this lovely restaurant is the noise. I have hearing loss and loud restaurants generally mean that I can't hear a conversation at all. This was indeed the case. I didn't talk much because I was too busy eating - but if you and your dining partner need to have a conversation, you might want to go somewhere else. Overall - don't be scared away by a crowd - beware the noise - and be darned sure you get those potatoes! read more

Been there twice. First time was me and wifey. Food was good 5 stars. Decided to take our kids this time. My son did not like the chocolate pancakes and management wouldn't switch for something else. So beware if you don't like the food you cannot return for something else. Kids are tough to satisfy , but this is the only place you cannot return food If you aren't satisfied. So I paid for an order of waffles for my son. We will not be returning here just because the customer satisfaction really put a sour taste in my mouth. read more

Stumbled across this place & we were sure glad we did! It's not a huge menu & they serve breakfast & lunch items. We all ordered different options & had fun sampling. The portion sizes are generous, so if you leave there hungry, it's your own fault!! read more

Unfortunately GS has dropped the ball. I always come here and the food is fantastic but today was completely off. I understand you have days that aren't the greatest but the food was cold, hard and not worth eating. The manager was ok, came off kind of snobbish but I killed her with kindness. Can't say I'll be back anytime soon. Oh well. The waitress was great and can't say anything bad about the service. read more

Stopped in for breakfast/brunch today. My wife had the Crab Eggs Benedict and they were quite tasty. I had the "special": Patty Melt w/ FF. The sandwich was good, but certainly wasn't memorable, as the patty was significantly smaller than the bread and really could have used more thousand island dressing. Service was good and they were certainly busy. read more

I had the Crab Benedict on my first trip to this wonderful place. For 8.95 I was expecting imitation crab and not much .. but hey, I wanted crab. I got real crab - and quite a bit of it for as much as I paid. It was a very pleasant surprise and it was delicious. I am very excited to find this breakfast spot and already have another trip planned out! read more

I recently returned to Ginger Sues and the service and food were outstanding. Love the convenience and prompt service.

How do you beat this place? Biscuits & Gravy are superb, pancakes are enormous and fluffy, pretty sure the syrup is the genuine article, and the service is always spot on. Had cappuccino, B&G, short stack, and a couple eggs (didn't eat everything) for $12. I've paid double that at The Big Biscuit sadly...for far inferior fare. Was in an out on a busy Sunday around noon in less than half an hour. Perfect. read more

Excellent wait staff and an light/airy location to have brunch. It did not take long to get our meal either. Reasonable and delicious. I would recommend others support local business as well. read more

Ginger Sue's - Breakfast classic with waffles on the side. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

If you're looking for great food, great service, and social distancing, this is the perfect breakfast spot! We tried this restaurant for breakfast this morning and had a fantastic experience! The waitress, Lameeka, was not only friendly and welcoming, but also attentive and on top of everything! The food was delicious! I ordered the Belgium waffle, which was cooked to perfection, eggs, and bacon. My 2 year old son had a small fruit bowl, bacon, and potatoes. All of which he enjoyed! My husband enjoyed the blueberry pancake (he only needed one--they're huge and fluffy), breakfast burrito, and bacon. read more

Watch your credit card receipt! The server gave herself an extra few dollars after I signed it. My pancakes were overdone and this wasn't the first time the food wasn't good. Never going back! read more

I was a bit taken back when I walked in the place as it really had no decor to speak of & was really noisy. Luckily their food made up it. The bacon is seasoned in house & was some of the best bacon I've had. I had the salmon salad & it was a bit to much (which is better than being to small), but was very good. The salmon was cook perfectly! My friend had the quiche & it looked amazing with a great flakey crust. I would def go back. read more

Went for brunch during a Sunday rush! Food was delicious, wait was silly!! There were plenty of table to seat people, but no one was cleaning them! Once we were finally sat the service was great! read more

Great Breakfast...love this place. Always friendly and quick service. Super selection and always fresh

I tried the Eggs Benedict, B&G with a side order of bacon as a to go order. Everything was very good and they kept the gravy separate from the biscuit and the hollandaise sauce separate from the egg/ham/muffin as requested. All were very good and my Aunt (who hadn't been eating) actually ate because it was so good. I am very glad I wasn't eating inside though. It was so very noisy and loud from just regular noise. By the time you add some small kids to the mix ....wow.... it wouldn't have been an enjoyable meal for me at all. The food, however, was quite good. read more

In a word, tasty! I met a friend here for breakfast on a Saturday, and, if this day was any indication, Ginger Sue's has definitely met a need amongst the soccer families of Lee's Summit! There was a big crowd this day, but I was seated promptly and the coffee was readily at hand. I had the Southwest Scramble Skillet, which was delicious. My friend had the West Coast omelette, and loved it as well. She did have to ask for the biscuit that was supposed to accompany her omelette, which was odd because there was a giant scoop of butter of her plate that would have served no other purpose. The dining room was brightly painted from the previous Mexican restaurant tenant, but not a lot else has been done to decorate. The service was good, other than the missing biscuit, but even it was delivered quickly. I'm happy to have this delicious breakfast option so close to home! read more

I have loved coming here for breakfast and decided on a whim to try it on a weekday morning. I was splurging and got biscuits and gravy. The dish arrived lukewarm at best but I didn't send it back because the side links were warm and tasty. The gravy was just ok. I probably should have asked for it to be reheated. The service was fine. They weren't busy but the overhead fan made it seems chilly and probably didn't help with the cooling food issue. I won't be back for awhile. read more

We are out of towners and found this place on Yelp. Don't know why they only had four out of five stars. We ordered breakfast and the food was excellent and the service was even better. I'm a bit of a food snob, not that I won't hit up an IHOP, but I will tell you the food was of very high quality. I had the waffle (amazing) and a side biscuits and gravy (also amazing)! My husband had a great omelette and potatoes. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is our GO TO Breakfast Restaurant! We don't live near one, but we make the trek to eat here! The food is fresh, healthy, delicious! The customer service is amazing! We have NEVER had an issue with food or service here! I have young children and I hate going to restaurants where the bathrooms are FILTHY! Their restaurant is always very clean! Anytime we have family from out of town come, we take them to Ginger Sues for breakfast!! Yummmmmy! read more

Finally a decent breakfast/brunch spot in Lees Summit that isn't a nationwide chain. The food is delish and servers are friendly. The place itself doesn't have a lot of frills or charm but the food makes up for it. Here's the changes they could implement and that would make me an extra happy suburbanite: 1). Mimosas 2). Gluten-Free bread options read more

So this was one of our go to places for after church on Sundays. I noticed that the cleanliness and service was slipping but figured it would get straightened out. Not the case at all. Last Sunday we went and ordered our usual and were completely disappointed. There was quite a bit less food on my plate than normal, and waitress was a bit rushed. I can overlook that. But when my wife went to spread her fruit compote on her waffle, I smelled peas. At first I didn't think about it but then she started getting grossed out by the taste. She eats this twice a month. I put two and two together and told the waitress that the compote was fermented and inedible. She agreed it looked different than normal, and went to talk to manager. Manager says its fine, here's your bill. Sure thing. Paid it and won't be back. I'll be letting everyone know as well read more

This place is so great! We were in town for a wedding the evening before and decided on this cute restaurant. I asked for the waitresses suggestions and she was spot on! We ordered a chocolate chip pancake to share. Mocha coffee, smoothie and my husband got the breakfast burrito which was sooo good. Eggs and I don't agree and so whenever I have to ask if I can substitute them in a meal sometimes people get kinda moody.. but they were great. Lots of different options. The place is clean, trendy and the food-Yum! Everything we got was great. I would highly suggest this joint to ANYONE! read more

Ginger Sue's - Great breakfast! Eggs don't agree with me and this restaurant made it easy to change my order up with different choices in the eggs place. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

See all

They pour their salsa from a bottle, is it that hard to make it fresh? Not sure why this is a good choice when everything else appears to be made from scratch. Wow this place is loud. With just a few rugs or sound dampening it would make such a difference. Coffee is decent and service acceptable. Value for dollar on my southwest scramble was low, not much to it, very few of the veggies advertised and nothing on the side; how about an English muffin or something to increase the experience? Potential but too many poor choices for a good experience, esp. The noise. read more

The food was decent. I didn't love their version of French toast, but they had a special that was awesome! Sorry don't remember the specifics, it was good though! read more

Ginger Sue's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Lack of flavor is not at all what you'll find here! Every single item is flavored to perfection but not in your usual breakfast kind of way. Cheap entrees that taste so freakin good! Plus awesome service, there were no complaints from our party! read more

Great breakfast, enjoyed all from pancakes to Cajun crepe. Would recommend. Smoothies were ok.

Food: Overall pretty good. Bacon was awesome. Potatoes were very tasty. Biscuit was good as was the gravy. Downside to the food was that I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out so undercooked even the whites were runny. Since the meal I ordered came with a biscuit but no gravy, I asked for gravy and had to order a "side" The "side" came out in a little bitty dish and there wasn't enough to cover the biscuit. Again, food was tasty but there were some issues. Service: Our server was a very nice young lady just not particularly attentive. In a breakfast place you should never have to wait for coffee or drink refills yet our cups and glasses were empty more often than not. Atmosphere: Its a breakfast place so I didn't expect much but I also didn't expect nothing in the way of decor. It is clean and well lit but there is nothing on the walls. NOTHING! Not a single thing. Big barren walls. Maybe they have plans for some decor but right now there is nothing. Conclusion: We will go again. I'd like for it to be my new favorite place. It just needs some fine tuning. read more

Excellent choice. Even at prime time after church, we got seated and served in great time. Bathe pork tenderloin sandwich was huge (and tasty). Breakfast plates looked excellent. We will definitely go back Maybe best breakfast in Lee's summit read more

Good, solid service and food is good. Best breakfast in Lee summit area is fig tree cafe . Second place would probably be a tie for ginger sues and first watch. Potatoes are slightly over spiced, coffee just ok -slightly burnt flavor, eggs a little slimy not puffy. Fig tree has locally sourced meat and eggs, seems to make big difference in flavor, ginger sues seems to be just food from food service companies (Sysco) read more

My family dine in at Ginger Sue's on a Sunday morning, how service was unsatisfying. Our waitress rushed us to order, our food came out sporadically, and our waitress never came back to the table to check on us. Now this is only one waitress, other waitresses could be awesome. Our eggs were cold, chicken strips were overcooked, and our waitress was just plain rude. We will not be returning! But the french toast tasted pretty good. read more

I had an office near Ginger Sue's and used it regularly for business meetings. The food is pretty great for the price but I have always had a minor issue with their coffee. I don't get over there much these days so maybe that has improved. read more

My friend and I ordered breakfast to go, when I arrived to picked it up they had it ready and were very friendly! The food alone was amazing! I had the salmon and spinach benedict. I can't wait to go back and eat in house. read more
