    1957 salad
    Jason H.

    I hadn't visited Hereford House in years, so my wife and I came in during restaurant week. We came during lunch time on a Saturday, and the place was quiet and slow. The staff were nice and welcoming, and our server was great. We ordered off the KC restaurant week lunch menu. My wife started with the 1957 salad, minus the cucumber, with creamy cheddar and creamy Italian dressing. She thought it was really good. I started with a cup of Prime Rib stew. I was disappointed. It tasted canned or prepackaged to me. The meat was tough and the potatoes weren't tender enough for me. After seeing my wife's salad, l wished I had started with that. We both ordered the Cheeseburger as our main, as we'd heard it was really good. The plus side of it was that they put the lettuce, tomato and onion on the side, you get to pick your choice of cheeses, and they give you plenty of mustard, ketchup, and mayo for the burger. The down side is we ordered them medium, and they came back well done, and very dry. We both chose fries as our sides, which were good. I feel like the cost of the food and the quality don't add up.

    Our server was very nice and helpful. The complimentary bread was great. However, the rest of the food did not impress me. The Caesar salad hardly tasted like Caesar, the lettuce was also pretty old and browning, wouldn't recommend. The filet was just okay. I didn't care for the seasoning and the medium rare I requested still had some blood, which was off putting to me, but I didn't notice til I was almost done with it. The mashed potatoes were just fine, they were a good texture but unseasoned and pretty cold when they came to the table. The prices were pretty good for a steak house but, I wouldn't go back or recommend it. The food overall was not great.

    My husband and I made a reservation for a date night dinner here last night. While the restaurant itself is very beautiful and rustic, the service and some of the food left much to be desired. For drinks, I ordered the white sangria, which has both peach and orange, and my husband ordered the Manhattan. Both drinks were very good! The restaurant provides complimentary dinner rolls served with both honey butter and whipped butter. The rolls were warm and delicious; however, the honey butter tasted very bitter and the whipped butter was very salty. For an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese that was covered with a habanero jam and surrounded by sliced strawberries. It was served with perfectly grilled bread. The appetizer is the only thing we would rate 5/5 stars on! The goat cheese was complimented very well by the habanero jam, which was spicy, but not too spicy. The strawberries were fresh and delicious. For my entree, I ordered the Hereford steak burger medium well with sides of the goat cheese and jalapeño corn and the bacon Gouda macaroni and cheese. The burger was cooked right and very juicy. The brioche bun was crispy and fresh. I should have seen that the waiter asking me if blue cheese crumbles were okay on my burger was a forewarning because there was so much blue cheese, it was overpowering. The goat cheese and jalapeño corn was very creamy and delicious! The bacon Gouda macaroni and cheese was also very creamy and the pasta was cooked perfectly! My husband ordered the meatloaf, which comes with sides of garlic green beans and mashed potatoes. I did not try the meatloaf but, from my perspective, it looked dry and like it had been microwaved. My husband said the sides were good, but the meatloaf was very bland. Now, on to our waiter. At first, he was very nice and professional. We were not even halfway done with our entrees when, without us asking for one, he came back with a to-go container and said, "No rush, but I see you're slowing up." I'm sorry, but we thought that was very rude, not to mention weird since he just randomly brought it out. He later came back and asked me if I wanted to use the to-go container. When I told him no thank you, he said in a sad tone, "Nobody is finishing their meals today." I hate to be rude, but there are some things that are best left unsaid at a restaurant, and that is one of them. As my husband has lived in the KC Metro area longer than I have, he told me that he has eaten at Hereford House before and it wasn't good, but was willing to give it a second chance. I don't think we will be giving it another chance.

    Service was good and food was good. Nothing too amazing. Everyone's order was correct and we enjoyed the food. Bread service included. The salads had some weird lettuce and the broccoli was very salty. Steaks cooked perfectly.

    Country Fried Chicken $15 on Happy Hour Menu
    KC S.

    I'll give Hereford 4 Stars simply for their Sunday and Monday Night specialty discount menus. We ear there a couple times a month and can recommend the Steak Burger, Country Fried Chicken, Grilled Meatloaf, Short Rib Tacos and the Dijon Fillet skewers all under $17 with one side. Good sized portions, good service and cocktails are also on special those nights - the $7 Mahomes mule being my favorite. The flip side of this is the steaks on the regular menu are very mid for the price. We get a lot more value out of Texas Roadhouse at 60% of the cost

    Where do I start? From the time we walked in the host had a bad attitude and it wasn't even a busy evening. Our server also treated us like we were stupid and didn't know how to read a menu because we couldn't find where the sides were located which they decided to print in the smallest font possible. We chose the 4-course menu for 2 people for $99 and ordered a meal off the kids' menu. The beef stew tasted like it came out of a Dinty Moore can. The KC strip and prime rib came out excellent though which is why I gave this restaurant 2 instead of 1 star. The gooey butter cake was underwhelming and hard as a brick. Overall, I would not recommend this place.

    cornbread appetizer
    Beth C.

    An excellent steakhouse in every regard, from food to service to ambience. It is also quite busy, well worth getting reservations for supper if you're going on a Saturday night as we did. We started off by ordering their cornbread for two, which came out along with two hot yeast rolls. All of the bready stuff was seriously good, and I say that as a bread snob. For our entrees, I ordered the set of bacon-wrapped 5-ounce filet portions, along with green beans and an upgraded side of mushrooms. Everything was delicious. My husband had the ribeye along with fries and broccoli, and greatly enjoyed his food, too. We had to splurge on dessert as well, getting a KC Irish Cream Coffee and a bread pudding with flambé. The hot spiked coffee was tasty and potent, but the bread pudding was truly a sensation. Our server lit it on fire right at our table. The portion was large--definitely a dessert to share--and rich, with a thick custard top and bready bottom within a lush sugary sauce with islands of sliced peaches. I love bread puddings and this was up there among the best--people should come here for this dessert alone. Really an amazing restaurant, one that fully lives up to the ratings hype.

    The older I get, the more I realize how often things that are super-hyped simply don't live up…read more.. ...that, however is NOT the case at Tay's! TL;DR here is easy, folks: there is a REALLY good reason this little shack has so many super-high ratings! We made the trek from seemingly Oklahoma (read: Olathe) to have our first taste of what many people say is the best burger in KC! We pulled up, strategically, at 1:20 on a Monday afternoon, hoping to miss the bulk of any lunch crowds. Mission: successful! We walked straight in and up to the order counter, and had a lovely conversation with the lovely lady working the counter! She made a couple of great recommendations on burgers and fries (which we took)! Even though it wasn't busy, I assumed it would take at least as long as a fast-food drive through to produce our highly custom order of burgers. Wrong. Food was in our hands in less than three minutes! Crazy-fast service! The burgers are flat-top, smash-style burgers. The variety here are grass fed, and come out really, REALLY crispy! I'm not sure I've ever had a burger with so. much. crunch!! We were recommended the seasoned fries, which we agreed to! They're shoe-string style, which aren't my favorite. However, the seasoning really bumps these up a few notches, and then the Sriracha Ketchup (yup, you heard that correctly - sriracha!) brought them home nicely!! The dining room is exactly as you'd expect for a place with the word "shack" in its name, and I mean that in a GOOD way! Comfy, cozy, well-appointed, smells perfect, and clean! I think the ONLY thing I can think of as a critique is that the parking lot leaves a little something to be desired...especially on a rainy day, such as the one we arrived on. If you're like me, and hadn't been here yet, delay no longer! Get yourself to Tay's, and get yourself one of the best burgers in town! Food = 5/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance = 5/5 Value = 4/5

    This was my first time at Tay's Burger Shack and here's what I thought: The restaurant is quaint…read moreand they have such a cute patio and decors The customer service was really great and they get in orders fast! So the food... that's why we really came here. So many people hyped Tay's Burger Shack up that I think it made me set my expectations really high. I tried the Single Cheeseburger with fries, I will say that I didn't find it very special. My least favorite part was the buns, they didn't seem like they were toasted at all. Just your typical old cheeseburger. The fries were not my favorite. It does make a cute date night and maybe late night snack.

Mugs-Up is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s when it was first opened and even has a neon sign that looks great at night. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and while they don't have bacon here, the burger was unique in that it wasn't a patty. They continued that uniqueness by using Velveeta instead of American cheese. Strangely enough though, it only added to this old burger joint's charm. This ground meat and Velveeta burger knows what it is and is happy with that. And while I didn't love their own in-house root beer, the fries were decent crinkle cut and the rest of the experience was good enough that I definitely see myself coming back again.
