Crispy Katsu Chicken Sandwich
Isabella D.

Out of all the places to eat on the plaza, Gram & Dun is a super solid choice. I've been for dinner and brunch, and both were super delicious. On my dinner visit, I tried one of their sushi rolls. I didn't have many expectations but was pleasantly surprised with this roll and I'd definitely try more of their options! I also had the dirty chai guy cocktail-- I'm such a sucker for any type of chai drink so this was right up my alley. For brunch I tried their chicken katsu sandwich, and while not the best chicken katsu I've had, it was still really good. I also obviously had to have some mimosas-- heavy on the alc, light on the OJ :) Overall the ambiance of gram & dun is super nice and a great way to fuel yourself while shopping on the plaza.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and it was great! The meatballs were delicious (and I LOVEDDD the sourdough). The drinks were wonderful, our entrees were also good! The happy hour here was fantastic. I absolutely loved the atmosphere here, and the service was very good!! We'd for sure come back.

Came to Kansas City for a few days to visit some friends over NYE. I do a lot of research before I arrive, and I find the best restaurants in town. Gram & Dun was one of those restaurants. We show up for our reservations and get seated for a wonderful meal. Ambiance was surreal. The vibes inside were that of a modern Italian kitchen inside of a Southern parlor room. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's true. And the restaurant looks out upon the quaint downtown street of this Kansas City suburb through giant, floor-to-ceiling windows. So beautiful. Service was great, as well. The server knew the menu very well, and was able to answer a few questions, guiding me to the correct thing to order. The apps, entrees, and dessert were all paced well, too. Service lead to a lovely evening. As for the food, we started off with the Not-So-Standard Potato Chips (parmesan, sauce flight: gold sauce, comeback sauce, black pepper bourbon ketchup). These were very good. House cooked chips that were just thick enough, had a good bite to them, and were absolutely covered in luscious parm. The sauce flight was fun, too. Keep the leftovers around to pair with the rest of your meal. Onto the Low Country Pimento Cheese (fried saltine crackers, candied black pepper bacon, bread & butter pickles, tomato jalapeño jam). Hillbilly charcuterie. Lots of fun to mix and match some bacon, some pickles, a little jam, all on those very unctuous Saltines. Very fun app. My main was the Brick Pressed Chicken (lemon & thyme brine, prosciutto & sausage bread pudding, caramelized cabbage, lemon & shallot cream sauce). Chicken was cooked to a charred perfection, that savory bread pudding was just an amazing as it sounds, and the cream sauce really brightened everything up. I don't usually get chicken, but I'm telling you, this was the chicken to get. I also got to try one of the nightly specials, some sort of cheesy parmesan pasta covered in black truffle shavings. It was as extravagant as it sounds. Fresh-made pastas, giant chunks of lobster, cheesy ooey gooey, and those truffle shavings add just a touch of class and umami that really made this a good pasta dish. We finished up with the Gram & Dun Bar (chocolate peanut and pretzel nougat, marshmallow cream cheese, chocolate mousse, peanut butter ice cream). Again, another thing I don't usually go for, the dessert bar, but this place did it in a way I haven't seen before. Each layer added to the dessert. Nougat, cream cheese, and mousse, all tied together with that cold, creamy peanut butter ice cream. So so good. Overall, as good as this place was on paper, Gram & Dun really blew me away. Really elegant food, found right in the heart of the country. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would come back in a heartbeat.

What can I say again about Gram & Dun that I haven't said in the past. They are always consistent with their food. Always delicious.

Brittany N.

Pros: Ambiance was beautiful. Really classy dining room with large windows looking out on the pretty streets of this suburb of Kansas City. Service was also really nice. Really nice server who knew the menu well. The food all came out very promptly and was hot and fresh. The food itself actually very unique for an elevated Southern restaurant. I feel like their all elevated Southern nowadays, but this place breaks the traditional mold with their menu items. Cons: I can't think of a single con. Maybe a few more Saltines on their pimento cheese app, but that's just nitpicking. Tips: Get the Low Country Pimento Cheese, get the Brick Pressed Chicken, and get the Gram & Dun Bar. You won't be sorry.

Went here for valentine's day and really enjoyed the experience! the interior is very modern and gives a chic vibe. if you sit on the exterior of the building, you can watch the people on the plaza walking and driving which is relaxing. the chicken and waffles were the perfect amount of sweet and spicy!! it was definitely a little bit pricey at 24 but for a nice environment and service, it was worth it. also the waitress was so lovely! she even took our picture and was very attentive to our needs

Bloody Mary Premium Margarita
Elle R.

Atmosphere is great! We love the decor and the setup of the entire restaurant and bar. Service is good, a little slow but busy for one bartender. The pork belly and the poached egg on the Benedict were way overcooked! The flavors were wonderful though. The cornflake oysters were the star! Tender, wonderful flavors, and fun to eat. My prosciutto sandwich was nice, very messy but who cares We can't wait to return to try more items on the menu. The premium margarita was top-notch!

Lemon risotto salmon
Andy M.

Came in for my partner and I's anniversary, having never been I had my own perception of Gram and Dun from what I've heard through grapevine but wanted to give the place a fair shake. Our experience completely shattered my expectations. The service was really incredible, our server was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to make our decisions even though we got lost chit chatting over our cocktails. Which by the way were very unique and refreshing for a cold winter day. I never felt rushed and that made our night really incredible. We had grilled octopus and ahi tuna for our appetizers and wow oh wow, easily the best ahi tuna I've ever had. My partner and I devoured them as slowly as possible to savor the umami flavor. Truly a must if you like seafood and tuna specifically. The grilled octopus was done nicely as well, the flavor was more subtle but the char on the octopus gave each bite nice texture and flavor. Our entrees were delicious as well, the lemon salmon and risotto hit the spot. I only wish there was more as I cleaned my plate completely. A nice flavor combination. Lastly the braised beef was a perfect to warm up on a chilly winter evening. A classic to be sure, the sauce was so well developed and rich and the roast pulled apart beautifully. Savory and delicious. Our server also brought us champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I look forward to coming back and grabbing more ahi tuna asap!

Brussels Sprouts & Kale
Jessica B.

Great bar happy hour experience! The bar tenders were attentive and kind. I opted for the burger and Brussels from the Happy Hour menu. Both were great. I'm a Brussel sprout fan and these hot the mark. I tried the Gram and Dun dessert bar. It was beautiful but odd. Wouldn't get it again. I loved the atmosphere here.

Dessert drinks, chocolate & coffee
Susanne M.

Ambiance is warm, dark &comfortable. We were seated far from the door (which I like) and Griffin was our server, he was perfect! The signature drinks were nice & dessert drinks were as well. We LOVED the Not-so-standard chips &dips! I got wagyu burger & side of Mac & cheese - both were so cheesy & delicious! Perfectly cooked! Husband got chicken & waffle- also delicious! The chicken was juicy & tender. But that waffle stole the show-it was so yummy! This place is now on our favorites list, just wonderful overall!

I'm surprised I've never reviewed this Kansas City staple of a restaurant on the Country Club Plaza, I've been coming here for years. I've had some amazing meals here, with exceptional service at the bar for happy hour as well as in the dining room for dinner. However, brunch service can be a little off sometimes (especially on Holidays like Easter or Mother's Day). My last time I was here was for their restaurant week 2026 menu and it was a fantastic experience, I had never dined here for restaurant week and I'll definitely return next year. I came for the tail end of lunch and ordered the fried oysters and the burger with fries. The oysters stole the show (I believe these are also on their happy hour menu but don't quote me on that). They were crispy coated in a cornmeal batter and tasted a touch briny without being too fishy. I loved the southern style take on this dish, it was served over a tremendous remoulade sauce that has the perfect amount of tanginess and creaminess. Now onto the smash burger, this is on the happy hour menu for $10 and all I can say is just order it! It's rich and meaty, with ooey gooey cheese. It has a classic "burger sauce" that I ask for an extra side of to dip my fries in because it's that good! The sweet onion and house made pickles help cut through all that beef and bacon, oh yeah did I mention there's salty chopped bacon on this burger too?! It has everything you want from a smash burger at a sit down restaurant. As far as brunch goes, the dishes are nice, there's nothing wrong with a classic brunch menu but I've had hit or miss service. The toast trio is my go-to I've had it a few times, on the menu they have named them "planks" but let's face it they're really just fancy topped toasts. I like to do all three so that I get a mix of savory and sweet. The two Benedicts on the menu are also very good, they're unique because one has pork belly and another has a crab cake. They do some drinks really well and some of the ones I've sampled on their rotating seasonal menus just don't do it for me. But, on their classic menu they have a drink called Fly Me To The Moon which if you like bourbon and aperol you should try, I like to switch it up from an old fashioned sometimes and since this has orange bitters and lemon it's familiar while still being a nice change. Also, a lot of mocktails are offered if you still want something refreshing without alcohol. Happy Hour is king here so if you're ever shopping on the plaza, need a place to meet with the girls, or on a date I would highly recommend Gram & Dun but, be aware it's only offered inside, in the bar area and not on the patio. It's also only 2 hours (3-5) Monday through Friday so plan ahead so you can make the most out of it!

Phoenix N.

love the decor & outdoor patio, service is quick, and their island brew mocktail was delicious! the perfect post dinner pick me up

Grabbed a quick lunch here. Very nice! It's in the country club plaza area with so much to do nearby. Beautiful interior. Service was great and quick too. The hostess and my server were both very sweet. I got the Double Up lunch option with the Burger and Potatoes. Both good! I'd say the burger was my favorite. It had a nice and unique flavor to it.

Do they take brunch reaervations?

I would think so - they certainly take them for dinner. You should check on Open Table.

Would I be able to request the chef to be creative and make me a special dish, provided it doesn't include meat or dairy?

I would email or call the restaurant, but they certainly seem like the place to accommodate that request. I would assume that during their busy wknd brunch times it might not be possible, but if they had advance notice so that the chef can be… 

Does the restaurant have dog friendly seating on rainy days?

The Kansas City Health Department mandates that we cannot have dogs in areas that we are cooking and serving food.

These biscuits are stacked so high and loaded so heavy, you'll need a game plan, a fork, and maybe a pep talk from your server (who, by the way, is probably the nicest person you've ever met before 10 a.m.). Let's start with the Bloody Marys--absolute perfection. Spicy, savory, and went down easy! Pair that with the fact that my biscuit sandwich came out looking like a Jenga tower of delicious chaos, and I knew I was in for something special. The first bite? Fireworks. The last bite? A fork fight at the table over the remaining crumbs. One of my sandwiches came dripping with sauce like it was starring in its own Food Network slow-mo reel. The other was a crunchy, tangy, biscuit-lovin' masterpiece stacked with perfectly fried chicken, cabbage slaw, and dreams. This place is not for the faint of appetite. You will leave full. You will need a nap. And you will already be planning your next visit before you even finish your drink. 10/10. Bring your hunger, your friends, and stretchy pants.

They have an all-day food menu in addition to their drinks, and their staff were friendly at both visits. I ordered their chicken tamales, iced Matchata, and their hot Dulce de Leche latte. (a) The chicken tamales reminded me of the Mexican tamales where the masa was on the dryer side. Thankfully they included a sauce and there was a good chicken-to-masa ratio. I have had several different tamales from other countries and personally prefer a more moist tamale, but these were decent. 4 out of 5 (b) The Matchata had a stronger horchata flavor with a very light hint of matcha. The horchata was good, but I would have preferred a stronger matcha taste. Maybe they could use a higher-grade matcha to get that strong earthy flavor. 3 out of 5. (c) The Dulce de Leche latte was delicious! I can see why it is one of their signature drinks. The caramel taste complimented the coffee very well and was not too sweet. It definitely tasted like a premium latte with high quality ingredients. 5 out of 5.

I don't care for their coffee or espresso, but it's just not to my taste, I don't think it's poor quality. Bottom line, I think they could work on their soft skills regarding their guests (particularly when potential injuries are on the table). That said, do get a chicken salad sandwich from them.

Seating might be full, but there's both counter seating in the open concept kitchen or tables on the other side. A lot of people rave about their breakfast burritos or breakfast biscuit sandwiches. My out of town guests love them too when I bring them here. I'm here to rave about their weekend only croissants. You can only get them on Saturday or Sunday because it takes a days to ferment and laminate the dough. The quality of their ingredients shines in even the simplest plain croissant. I'll occasionally venture into the chocolate or almond version. They rival some of the best I've had in NYC, SF or Paris. In KC, the only other rivals can be found at French Market or Sour Rabbit Bakery. I'm glad their croissants are weekend only so I can have them as an occasional treat. I find their other pastries, especially the tarts, biscuits or scones are also lovely. For a baked goods focused spot, I'd say their cold brew is also pretty great quality as well. Usually I'd go to another coffee shop for a fix, but I'm okay grabbing both a croissant and cold brew here. I haven't been for their "after hours" dinner specials, but that's next on my to do list there!
