Took a chance and ordered a lunch item; got the pork tenderloin, it was quite good! Glad I took the opportunity to branch out from their breakfast. read more

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

Nice, clean restaurant - great service. I ordered french toast with fruit compote. Huge slices of french toast - very filling. Fruit compote was quite sweet - I think I would order it with just fresh strawberries next time. read more

AMAZING.... Get the gravy scramble, or Ginger's classic. The biscuits are perfect and the service is top notch! read more

This was my wife and I's favorite place to eat, but after multiple poor experiences, this most recent one left me to the point I no longer want to go. I guess when you pay cheap you get cheap. On this experience i ordered 2 chocolate chip pancakes and my whole table got their meal and ate it before I received my 2 pancakes. I waited nearly 15 minutes after my family's food came out to receive mine. There were many sincere apologies, but nothing offered in terms of a tangible apology. I ended up only eating 1 pancake anyways. This is after 3 other poor services in a row where we found hair in the food or the food being served cold. We forgave too many times and ate here too many times to keep contributing to an establishment that can't seem to get handling a basic service down. read more

This is definitely a breakfast spot. The decor and atmosphere are extremely simplistic. The bacon is definitely worth the trip here but watch out they'll charge you $.75 for two spoonfuls of gravy. read more

Our go to for breakfast out! My favorite dish is the quiche but everything I have tried has been great. Friendly staff and great service! Highly recommend! read more

Best breakfast/brunch in Lee's Summit. The food is sooo good every single time and the service is fast and friendly. The breakfast burrito is delicious, pancakes perfect, breakfast potatoes are addicting. Really everything we've tried on the menu has been delicious. read more

Best breakfast in Lee's Summit!! Everything is fresh and perfectly portioned, you really can't go wrong. The pancakes are fluffy and the omelets or delicious. Don't forget to get a Latte! read more

Glad to have found a good brunch option close to home! The West Coast omelette was delicious. The potatoes are great. I didn't think the biscuits were as amazing as some people say, but they satisfied my biscuit craving just as well. read more

Don't drive thru Lee's Summit during breakfast/brunch without stopping in Ginger Sues. No other breakfast compares! My favorite is the classic breakfast. Must try their bacon! Crazy good seasoning. French toast and pancakes are really good here too. &the coffee will get you ready for your day! Love this place. Most recommended read more

We came here for a pre-Easter brunch with my kids, grandma and my brothers kids. We arrived at 9:30 and the place was PACKED!!! One downside is that there really is no place to sit or stand to be out of the other diners way while you are waiting to be seated. You feel like you are intruding upon there space while waiting for 30 + minutes to eat. Once we were seated our food and drinks came out very quickly. I ordered the biscuits & gravy with 2 over easy eggs and bacon. Everything was delish- except for the bacon. It could have been cooked about 1 more min in my opinion; otherwise everyone enjoyed their meal. When Ginger Sues gets busy it's crowded and loud, but with few breakfast spots to choose from in the area this one tends to fill up quickly!! Ps their pancakes are HUGE and hang over the plate and look amazing!! I'm gonna try one next time. Give Ginger Sues a try, I think you'll like it. read more

If you recall, I wrote a review back in January of this year. I had a sub-par experience, and since I had not heard from the restaurant, I figured I'd give it another shot. Well, here's how it went. First off, please, PLEASE get some type of drapes, shades, wall hangings or something! It is way too loud in this place. Now that that's off of my chest, let's get to the food, the reason you are probably reading this review. I ordered a Ginger's Special, and my wife ordered pancakes. The only special request that I had was that everything was to be well done/crispy. Nothing worse than eggs that run away from the fork, and it's not healthy to eat runny eggs anyway, ask a doctor. So, I asked for the eggs well done and the potatoes and bacon to be crispy. Extra Crispy. As a matter of fact, my exact statement was to make them as crispy as you can without burning them. The waitress' response: "You want them to be crispy?" Seems to me that you cannot misinterpret that statement from either of us. It took a long time for us to get our food. A long time. Like 20 minutes long time. Like I watched someone else, sit down with us, get their pancakes for 6, finish said pancakes, complain that the waitress forgot to bring them their side order of meats, and leave. All before we received our food. Now, I'd bet you would say that all the food was burnt. you'd be wrong. The bacon came out white, and could easily be tied into a know, and the potatoes were just like they always come out: soggy, and mushy, all be it, hot. I got the waitress' attention and told her about the bacon, and as usual, I was told that my bacon probably got sent to another table. I doubt anyone would send back the crispy bacon, for if nothing else, they have good bacon here...when it's cooked. So, they came out with a plate to take back my bacon. The server said "put your bacon on here, I don't want to touch it", which is a sure sign, that you are NOT getting new bacon my friends. Guess what, when it came back out...still not crispy, but now totally dripping with oil. No one came to check to see if it was better, and the server was too busy that I tried to be nice and not bother her again. Not her fault as it turns out, the ticket did say crispy bacon. Alas Ginger Sues, you have good pancakes...that's the only saving grace right now. My pregnant wife is most likely going to cause me to come back here, since it's too long of a drive for a south LS resident to go all the way to westport just for pancakes. Me...I guess I'll have to settle for soggy bacon and potatoes. On the off chance someone from the restaurant ACTUALLY reads this: I'd be happy to show your cooks how to make crispy potatoes and bacon. I've done it for over 20 years. I promise not to burn down the restaurant. read more

One of the best places for breakfast, brunch and lunch in eastern Jackson county. Everything is fresh prepared. Pancakes are huge and delicious. Bacon is phenomenal. Egg dishes are creative and exceptionally crafted. Sandwiches and lunch specialties are wonderfully filling. The entire staff is friendly and capable. I highly recommend this place to all. read more

Discovered this place by chance and what a treat it has been! I tried them for lunch, and had the best salad I've ever had. Their dressing is homemade, their bacon is out of this world and the service was perfect. Later that week, I took the whole family for breakfast and they don't disappoint! The full stack of pancakes where each the size of the plate, so come hungry or take home lot's of leftovers, as we ended up doing. Ginger Sue's, I hope you stick around Lee's Summit for a VERY long time! read more

For breakfast in Lee's Summit, this place is wonderful. The prices are fair and the meals are great! The pancakes are as big as the plate and just two is plenty; the omelets are great. The interior is simply decorated but very clean and nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone - the food is fresh, the inside is clean, and the service is very friendly. read more

Ginger Sue's - Pancakes, ham/cheese omelet with biscuit and country potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The eggs Benedict is to die for!! This place is cozy, great wait staff, and have yet to have anything on the menue I didn't like!! Officially my new favorite breakfast spot! read more

Tried this brunch place and really enjoyed it. Everything is made from scratch and it shows. I ordered eggs benedict (it's my favorite breakfast meal so I've had it from many, many places), my husband ordered the gravy covered scramble, and then we ordered a blueberry pancake to split. Our waitress, Karen, was very nice and efficient. Even though the place was packed, our order came out quickly. I am not a "pancake person", but when they sat that blueberry beauty out with a side of berry compote, I could not keep my greedy little hands off of it. It was literally the best pancake I have ever had in my entire life, and my husband had to pour a gross amount of syrup over it to get me to stop eating it and relinquish his half... Or I wouldn't have stopped. I wasn't super stoked about the eggs benedict, but like I said, I've had it more times and from more places than I can count. It's obviously not their specialty, and I think most eggs benedict lovers would agree. However, I'm totally not even bothered because that pancake! Blueberry pancakes + berry compote + me = true love forever!! read more

The breakfast was good but the service was terrible. Initially I was given a good impression by the host staff and I took a seat at the bar. The young man behind the bar ignored his waiting customers, two elderly ladies and me, and was too busy flirting with a coworker who'd come in to eat to notice. I think I'll try somewhere else. read more

Blueberry pancakes were good, blueberry compote was a bit on the sweet sides. Order came back incorrect, but was immediately recreated. However, the new order was incorrect also. Management did comp the meal though, and what I did get was tasty. read more

Woke up on a Saturday wanting to try a new breakfast spot and not travel too far away from home. Thanks to Yelp, I found Ginger Sue's. I used to visit Pita Pit in this shopping center, but it has since closed. I never noticed Ginger Sue's. The place was packed. There was a short wait, probably about 20 mins. If you have a party larger than 2, you'll probably have to wait a little longer because we got a seat before some parties that were there before us. Whenever there's a wait I always look at the other restaurant goers to see if they're enjoying their food. Everyone was looking mighty happy. Once we got a table, I understood why. Our server was really nice and attentive. From my seat I could see into the kitchen, it appeared clean and efficient. My favorite was the maple bacon, it was so tasty. I also ordered french toast, which was two long slices of french bread with warm maple syrup. Everything was delicious. I will definitely return. read more

When I got there, I knew I wanted the eggs Benedict. I couldn't decide between the traditional and the crab, so I asked the waitress. She recommended an avacado and bacon Benedict that was not on the menu. Holy smokes! So SO deliccious! I also ordered a latte. It was a bit disappointing. Pretty weak coffee for a place like this. read more

Great breakfast, we decided to give it a try and were not disappointed. With a toddler and a baby we were seated quickly and conveniently. Our food came even faster. Quick friendly service and reasonably priced. Delicious food, we definitely want to try the lunch menu. read more

Given my frustrating experience I posted on their FB wall (see below, without any response from management), I felt pressed to supplement my 5 star review. As a regular I was really disappointed by my recent GS experience. Ordered a black bean burger from your menu that simply said what came on and with it. Yet, when the patty arrived it was nothing but a raw bean dip mixture. Having not tasted anything, I returned it, where the manager said I still had to pay since it was "clearly" stated on the menu--otherwise GS wouldn't make any money. (And yeah, you're right. You wouldn't make money if you had to refund/swap food items, which is why you should "clearly" state them on your menu.) Since I'm not one to make a scene, my bf and I just paid and left. Anyway, as a result, your immaculate joint has been tainted. Then again, your lunch menu is pretty hit/miss, so maybe that's my fault. Again, really disappointed. That said, Yelpers: be careful what you order. read more

We wanted to try a new place for breakfast and Ginger Sue's was AMAZING! We will absolutely go back (again and again). The food is very good. My son had a pancake bigger than his head. My hubs opted for blueberry pancakes with compote. They were fabulous with FRESH blueberries mixed into the batter. I had the breakfast burrito which was just as good. It was served with breakfast potatoes which were skin-on roasted goodness. And my cafe mocha was great. The entire place was very clean. In fact I was impressed with how clean the restrooms were. And the prices were super reasonable. In fact we spent less than we would spend at our "normal" breakfast place. The service was quick and friendly. In fact, they accidentally made my son's pancake with chocolate chips and brought us a plain one very quickly even though we were fine with the error. In short, I cannot wait to go there again! read more

AMAZING place! Best breakfast in Lee's Summit! We have been to a number of times and I would rate it 5 stars each time! If you are looking to find a breakfast like your mom made you when you were little, this is it! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Review on Lees Summit location. This is our favorite breakfast place to go to as a family! I love their eggs benedict and my daughter does the hangry happy dance over the chocolate chip pancakes. I know this may seem ordinary. What kid doesn't love chocolate chip pancakes?? Trust me when I say that my 6 y/o doesn't like all chocolate chip pancakes and Ginger Sues is her favorite. And their bacon is AMAZING!!!!!!! It's a bit loud but that's an issue for us. We are a family of four so we need a loud restaurant. If you have a problem with the noise, just eat the bacon and you'll feel better. :-) read more

Great breakfast / brunch spot. I had the crab and sausage Benedict and it was one of the best I've ever had! Prices are extremely reasonable too! read more

Great spot for breakfast!!! Had the crab Benedict and a side of toast. Crab tasted good, wasn't overpowering whatsoever. Hollandaise wasn't broken either major plus. read more

Big dining area! Great service! Excellent eggs Benedict & the special--espresso--coffee drinks are out of this world!! Staff are great w/ substitutions & special orders/requests. Definitely some of the best food in LS! read more

Great little breakfast place. Lots to choose from in the pancake department, and the crab and andouille benedict was amazingly good! I highly recommend it! read more

Will be returning for more. Food would get 5stars, ambiance might B lacking yet but this is my new favorite breakfast spot N Lees Summit.

We like Ginger Sue's and regularly frequent this establishment. I typically order their omelettes which are tasty and a decent portion. I don't love that some of the fruit in the fruit cup is obviously frozen. I also feel the food quality could be better. With that being said...there is hardly ever a wait and the service is great. read more

This place is just average. I have had both good and bad food and service here, Cold eggs, barley toasted toast. The menu prices are a bit on the high side. The trouble I have with the place is that if you do have a problem, cold eggs, soggy bacon, smelly immitattion crab meat, and you tell them, the MANAGER, they act confused and bewildered that you could possibly have a problem, They grudgingly address it and make it seem like they are doing you a favor, Forget say picking up your tab, saying sorry or some other customer service jester. It is hard for me to patronize a place that has Management and ownership they acts like you are lucky to be eating in their restaurant and has NO IDEA how to respond to complaints and problems that can occur at any place. SUMMATION AVERAGE FOOD MedIocore to poor service ARROGANT OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STYLE. LOUSY ATMOSPHERE Could BE CLEANER Equals= to many other better choices then to go here read more

Fresh. Made from scratch. They serve excellent food. We've only been there once but are looking forward to going back soon so that we can try more items on the menu! read more

We decided to try Ginger Sue's after reading the reviews on Yelp and we weren't really a fan. Food was just ok, with the exception of the pancakes, I would def get those again. You did get a lot of food for a good price. Service was pretty good. read more

Breakfast was very tasty. The pumpkin pancakes were just right and not overly sweet. Kate our server was amazing. It is still TOO LOUD. A little noise dampening and I would become a regular. I'll be back. Hope Kate is our server next time too! read more

A really small place tucked into the back of a strip shopping center. We actually sat at the coffee bar so that we could eat right away and get back on the road home. The food was really well seasoned and plentiful. My only complaint was the bacon. While it was thick cut and oven baked, it was slathered with a maple pepper glaze that was so overwhelming that I could not eat it and my hubby even declined. They should be more specific on the menu about the flavor other than "house seasoned". Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. I do recommend trying it, but I prefer Big Biscuit. read more

Ok so, we have been 3 times each time was really good. Service a is winner. Owners, you really need to put something on the walls. The only down side is, it is really loud. Can you stop the crying kids? and your steam wand on the espresso machine is caked with milk. Therefor no espresso order. Still we will be back, great food. Our now go to for local breakfast and lunch. A yes. read more

Smackingly good omelets, and amazballz biscuits and gravy. Breakfast food just like you would like to make at home but you don't have to lift a fingure. read more

Latte, banana smoothie, French toast, and biscuits and gravy is what we had and they were the bomb!! Great atmosphere and kind staff!
