    Plastic that was IN Prime rib dip
    Jennifer M.

    I am not sure where to start with this review. I think I have been here a couple times. Both times disappointed that pierponts is not open during lunch hours. And that has to be the only reason this place makes it. Its the only place yo get a hot meal at Union Station, right? Our waitress was friendly and attentive but thats where the good ends. The food is bad. No redeeming qualities. Bad. I guess the fries were okay but you can get hood fries anywhere. I ordered a Harvey Girl drink. How can you go wrong with fruity syrup, titos, lemonade and carbonation??? I honestly don't know but they did. It tasted like cough syrup. The prime rib dip was not prime rib. Gristly, chewy, soaked in au jus it was edible. The first half was anyway. I brought the second half home. My son went to eat it and THERE WAS PLASTIC IN THE SANDWICH. A large piece of what appeared to be some sort of wrapper. Picture attached. How does that happen?

    Saturday on a trip to Kansas City, my family and I decided to stop in to Union Station for lunch at Harvey's. Union Station is absolutely beautiful and worth stopping in to see if you've never been there! We knew we were going to visit the station and looked up restaurants to see if anything looked good. Harvey's menu caught our eyes, with its southern flare, and luckily didn't require reservations. My grandmother, Aunt, and myself were all seated quickly, and our waitress asked for and brought us our drinks out super fast. The restaurant was a little loud seeing as how it's inside of a train station full of people! With that being said, I've been in louder restaurants and this wasn't that bad. I ordered Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles with a cup of Gumbo, my Aunt ordered the Gourmet Grilled Cheese with Sweet Potato Fries, and my grandma ordered a Prime Rib French dip. We all shared hot pimento cheese dip. First of all that cheese dip was to die for. I've only ever had cold pimento cheese and was not a fan... obviously it's because hot pimento cheese is the way to go!!! My Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles was amazing. I think the waffle batter needed a little salt, but otherwise it was perfect. The gumbo was a little spicy and packed with flavor... just the way I like it!! My grandma's French dip thankfully on soft bread for her to eat, and the meat was sliced thin enough for her to chew. My auntie ordered the gourmet grilled cheese, and that thing was on firrreeee!! Her sweet potato fries came with a side of marshmallow fluff that had cinnamon in it, she was literally scraping the cup of that clean! We noticed they have a breakfast buffet on the weekends and one coming up for Mother's Day, that we might make reservations for!!! The food was fantastic and we seriously can't wait to go back for more.

    We were in town for the World Cup and were heading back from Kansas City via Amtrak so we had a few hours to kill before our departure. The union Station place know as Harvey's in right in the center of the big hall and has a unique two floor rotund design. It was a Sunday and so we were told there was just a Brunch Buffet today option only and that was fine. However we later learned why they don't post menus or prices on any signage outside the entrance. After a couple of plates of Biscuits and Gravy, Sausage links, sliced roast beef and a few dessert sweet options...our bill came to $109 for just the two of us. And they already included an 18% gratuity standard to boot. I don't mind paying tourist amounts for dining, but this ain't Vegas baby?! Charging $36 per person for a medium sized buffet is just robbery.

    I had lunch at Harvey's with my family after taking in an exhibit at Union Station a while back and I have to say it was pretty average. I'd always wondered about this place as it's front and center while you walk around Union Station, you'd be hard pressed NOT to notice it. The food is just okay in my book. It will satisfy, but it won't wow and I kind of wish it would be more remarkable. That being said, after thinking I'd give Harveys 3 stars I bumped it up to 4 because the service is really great, and you can't beat the ambiance if you're wanting to have a reason to stay and enjoy the feel of Union Station a bit longer. Overall, I'd return, but I'd probably only go here if I happened to be nearby and in need of a meal.

    3.5/5 I've tried their brunch buffet on weekends, which was okay, not great. However, I was there last week for lunch during the weekday and I enjoyed the food a lot more! Tried the 2026 restaurant week menu: two courses for $20. The chicken fried chicken and tomato basil soup were absolutely delicious and generous portions. Service was friendly, but not quick. Interesting concept, a restaurant inside Union Station but not my cup of tea.

    This KC Chicken platter was absolutely amazing. Fried chicken covered with country gravy, green beans cooked with bacon and seasonings, biscuit, fresh mashed potatoes and gravy. Venue overlooks Union Station and it is very elegant. They have kids menu and excellent brunch buffet on the weekends. Service staff are delightful and friendly. Quick to fill drinks and make the dining experience there one to remember.

    Was recommended by our hotel. Walked over via The Link which took about 15 minutes only to find out they were not serving breakfast off the menu and it was mandatory buffet only for $40 per person. When you scan the QR code at the table it pulled up the normal menu so that was confusing and the sign posted out front said mandatory buffet started on April 5th (it's March 29th) so also misleading. When I asked if there was a decent amount of vegetarian stuff at the buffet our server said "no there's just like salad" and insisted they wouldn't make an exception to make me avocado toast of anything off the menu. We ended up leaving so I am rating only based on the experience and not the food.

    Great restaurant with even friendlier staff. My waitress was amazing. I tried the breakfast burrito and it was perfection. Bacon was crispy and cooked perfectly. I also got one pancake on the side because had a slight sweet tooth but it was so big couldn't even finish half lol, but it was delish all the same.

    I had breakfast at Harvey's while I was at Union Station. I had a Belgian waffle and side of fruit. The waffle was good and was made memorable when I got apple and sausage as a topping. I enjoyed that I was able to eat in a relaxing atmosphere and do some people watching. The server was friendly and checked on me often.

    This place was a complete vibe. The service was everything. Our waitress was so nice and fun. We certainly were lucky to have her as she provided the best first time experience that I'd had. The food was cooked to perfection. I forgot to take a picture of my key lime pie, but it was delicious! I'm looking forward to a second visit.

    Sunday Brunch
    Christy D.

    Real hungry I was on a mission hi get pork bacon and eggs and anything else was a bonus. I had a full morning by 12 with no coffee or breakfast. I had already purchased in my heart that I would go over to Union Station not knowing what was in store, but was interested.. immediately when I walked in, I spotted Harvey's it was packed. The people were happy lots of laughter eating ambience was on point.. It was the center of attraction. There are one to three other dining options right out front, but Harvey's had the draw. I walked over and inquire with the host who informed me the current menu was Sunday brunch.. I thanked him and walked away to view more of what Union Station had to offer as well as grabbed a coffee. I came back by I had decided I was just going to offer order off the menu because I only wanted bacon and eggs. However I had seen peel and eat shrimp and catfish on some of the other customers plate so I was ready to order. The hostess informed me there was no menu, only the buffet. So many food options, with a beautiful view so I decided I would pay the full price of a buffet to get those four items! Needless to say, I arrived with one hour left all of the catfish was gone, and the manager was what I felt to be rude about it offered me an alternative of a cold salmon to be heated versus the catfish because they ran out before 2 o'clock. The buffet was over at three, and that was it. I was flabbergasted.! Like you are the only establishment of the four serving food that have catfish on the menu and you run out an hour before your brunch is over. Oh my gosh then you give me an attitude because I'm confused and when I ask if you would make an adjustment in my buffet price but she interrupted me and discarded the entire bill. Which probably would have appeased someone that had not set themselves up or wasn't completely interested in just getting an order of catfish? I was bummed and disappointed. I left without catfish. I did get bacon and eggs with a few peel and eat shrimp, saving room for the catfish that never came out.

    This spot is right in the middle of Union Station, and would be a recommendation for the views and people watching alone. We were taken to the upper level, which I liked because the view of the whole space is unblocked. The amazing high windows and intricate ceiling really make for a great way to spend an hour. Oh, and the food is pretty good too. My kid had the non spicy chicken and waffles, 4 mini waffles and two large chicken tenders, with maple syrup and whipped butter on the side. He ate it so fast, I didn't even get a bite, but he said it was great. I had the salmon with quinoa, kale, tomatoes and edamame, drizzled with a bit of a honey vinaigrette. I could have used a bit more of the vinaigrette but the dish was healthy and good, with a slightly larger than expected piece of salmon. Server was helpful, answering questions regarding Union Station, where to view the trains, etc. Solid spot for solid lunch. I don't know that you go to a train station for the food. The views and people watching made it worth it.

    Brooke J our Wonderful Server was putting in work, I went to checkout "Big Boy" 4014 and so did most everyone in the KCMO. I had the KC Classic and up-charged for Tomato Bisque and lemonade. Classic Dinner Fare, Historic Location with plenty of people watching. Great location for lunch and so much to see and do around.

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.

Situated in the base of a beautiful brick building, Messenger Coffee is a wide open, airy, bright and industrial space featuring all the classic coffees, a great assortment of house curated drinks, along with a solid selection of homemade pastries and other foods plus a good variety of novelties, bulk coffees and a few other items. The space is laid out well with the ordering counter and retail on one side and seating on the other, but it doesn't stop there...their open air industrial kitchen where all the goods are house made takes up over half the space, and is surrounded by barstools that give you a front row seat! While I loved the space, the coffee I got is easily one of the best coffees I have had anywhere...like, no joke! I went with the seasonal Iced KC Sweet Smoked Honeybear and it was absolutely delightful! Balanced, sweet, a tad smoky and tasted like the nostalgia of a honey graham cracker! Perfection. Service was great as well. The barista helped me out with selection, shared details of the drinks and made it a good interaction. Once I tasted the coffee, I knew it was a special spot, so I got back in line and grabbed a koozie so I'd remember far beyond the coffee! Overall, top tier coffee shop that I highly recommend!

To step through its threshold is to surrender to the siren song of warmth that curls from the oven like a whispered secret. I have made it my pilgrimage to traverse the entirety of their menu, a culinary odyssey that has yielded no false steps, only a symphony of consistency that borders on the miraculous. Each offering, from the flaky, golden architecture of their pastries to the robust, honest comfort of their savory fare, is a testament to the artisan's hand. Here, affordability is not a sacrifice of quality but a generous invitation, a rare confluence where the exquisite meets the accessible. There is a certain magic in the air at McLain's, a sweetness that feels woven into the very fabric of the establishment. It is a place that understands the language of comfort, speaking it fluently in the dialect of a perfect crust or the rich, dark notes of a expertly pulled espresso. It is perhaps no surprise that such a bastion of authentic delight has garnered a reputation that extends far beyond our local borders; if the standard of excellence is high enough to grace the plate of Taylor Swift, then surely, it is more than enough for us, the grateful residents who claim this treasure as our own. Yet, beyond the flour-dusted counters and the glowing glass cases, my deepest admiration is reserved for their spirit. In a world that often measures worth in cold, transactional metrics, McLain's chooses to honor those who pour themselves into the future of our community. As a teacher, I feel that recognition in the small gestures, the welcoming nods, and the genuine appreciation they extend to educators. It is a profound kindness, a recognition that the work of shaping minds requires nourishment, both intellectual and literal. They understand that a classroom is a marathon, and they act as the essential pit stop, providing the fuel that keeps the light of inquiry burning bright. To dine at McLain's is to participate in a ritual of belonging. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the turning of the oven trays. It is a reliable heartbeat in the neighborhood, steadfast and true, offering a reprieve from the clamor of the outside world. Whether one seeks a quiet moment of reflection over a cup of coffee or a celebratory feast that honors the simple, profound joy of eating well, McLain's remains an unrivaled steward of taste. It is not merely a bakery; it is the living, breathing soul of Waldo, a place where every bite serves as a reminder that some things in this life are exactly as good as they ought to be.

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!
