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.

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.

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.

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.

Brunch at Harvey's at Union Station is becoming a go-to for us--this was our second time, and it did not disappoint. The options are endless (seriously, you'd have to stay all day to try everything), but that's the fun of it--trying a little of everything. The mini waffles were the highlight: fresh, soft, and fluffy with a cranberry sauce that was chef's kiss. Plus, the cutest little individual syrups. Crispy bacon, made-to-order eggs, and flavorful breakfast potatoes with peppers were all on point. They also go way beyond breakfast--fried chicken, mac and cheese, fresh fruit, salads, shrimp with cocktail sauce, and tons of desserts. And being inside Union Station makes it even better. It's beautiful, spacious, and open, with high ceilings that make it feel like you're not even in the Midwest. Come hungry--you'll want to try it all.

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.

Restaurant

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.

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.

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.

We always walk through all of the shops here in River Market but had not gotten a chance to try a tenderloin or anything else here. The two younger gentleman working here were super friendly and did a great job for us. The menu seems to be pretty simple but has a few options you don't typically see - a burger and tenderloin put on the same bun; and pig snoot. We settled for the original tenderloin and fries for both of our meals. It was cooked pretty fast and when it arrived in its paper bag, we could not wait to dive in. The fries are seriously some of the best I have ever had. They are such a perfect balance of tender and crispy! The tenderloin was smaller than you would expect but considering the toppings I picked, I though the sandwich was full of flavor. It is not the best tenderloin I've had, nor the biggest, but I would happily get this again given the chance. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and for the most part, these expectations were met. I can't wait to come back and get more fries and try more of their menu!

In addition to food, they also have a few drink options like bottles of wine and beer. They even have dog food and dog treats. The store itself is decent sized. There's plenty of space for a few people to move around. They do have a large deli counter and a few coolers full of goodness. Service is always excellent. They are always helpful and can even offer suggestions if you don't know what to make with what. One of my go-tos are any one of their sausages. They have traditional ones plus a few fun ones. And if you watch their social media, they'll usually tell you when they have a limited addition one. The Rieger whiskey and apple sausage is one of my favorites. They also have a chicken curry sausage, which is excellent and has so much curry flavor. On my last visit I noticed that they have mac & cheese that you can take to go. They have a few different varieties, but I went with one with bacon because their bacon is always fantastic. It was a really good side. I slapped it on the grill to warm it up and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If you are in the city market area definitely stop in and check out what they have.

And I'm so excited because what goes better with a beer than a burger? My answer is pretty much nothing and thank goodness Burn Theory has got you covered. The special of the evening was a kimchi smash burger. One thing about me is I love anything fermented so, kimchi is one of my favorite things. Surprisingly I had never had it as a burger condiment before so, I was ready to try something fresh and new. It didn't disappoint! It was delicious. The smash burger patty was juicy and had lacey edges just like a proper smasher should, sometimes certain places forget the importance of those crispy edges. Not here! The kimchi wasn't an afterthought at all, it was more than a condiment slapped on top of the burger instead it was piled high and added just the right amount of zippy slightly spicy flavor. The cheese oozed out of the burger and melded with the lacey edges to create an impeccable bite, I'm still thinking of it a week later. I can't wait to try more burger renditions on the menu because this one definitely got high marks. There are other things on the menu as well if a burger isn't your speed but don't expect anything too fancy this is bussin' bar food that pairs exceptionally with a brew.
