Ironman scramble (using eggs), with a biscuit.
Kristen B.

We are always happy to eat @ HomeGrown. The food is delicious, with a wide variety you can choose. Fresh dishes and yummy baked food! Have a birthday to celebrate? A treat for you on the house!! Our service was great-thanks to Shari for bringing attentive! Loss of star is due to the wait time. We utilized the waitlist on the app, however, still waited 30 minutes past the estimated wait time.

Very, very DRY brown sugar and cinnamon pop'd heart
Tracy S.

Enjoyed this restaurant during restaurant week. Be sure to get on the waiting list on Yelp before you go! This place was packed but service was great. I love the honey bee latte. The cinnamon coffee cake is amazing, especially with the warm caramel sauce, and it's a huge serving! The pork salsa verde with 2 eggs is a crowd favorite for a reason--it's very tasty. The eggs over easy were PERFECTLY cooked. I initially tried the brown sugar and cinnamon pop'd heart and I was really, really disappointed with it. I don't know if it was old, or didn't have a ton of filling, or what the problem was but it was so dry that my mouth felt like sandpaper. The filling was as hard and dry as the icing on top, which is like a dry glaze so it was very tough. I took one bite after I sawed a fork full off and thought on top of the dryness, it has no flavor. I told the waitress and I was so happy they made it right by replacing it with the coffee cake, which was very, very good! Thank you!!!

Quality breakfast/lunch spot. On the weekends you need to use the waitlist feature through Yelp. It saved us so much time. The service was good and fast. They are organized and do not leave you wanting for anything. Our server asked about hot sauce and ketchup while we were ordering and the bought them to the table before the food. The food was also so fast. You will wait longer for a table than you will for the food. I got the BLT.A.E. I love a breakfast sandwich and this one holds up. Bacon was cooked well the Mayo was just enough so the sandwich wasn't dry. The egg and avocado just made it all better. My only ish with the whole thing are the chips. They are very much a quick after thought and could be so much better.

Food menu with seasonal offerings (June 2025)
Tracy G.

I enjoyed this for brunch with my friend. We were on the waitlist briefly (less than 10mins) and enjoyed sitting on the patio! The waitstaff were very friendly and gave us some tips on the menu. We split a Key Like Pop'd Heart, it was excellent. Then I got the Chilliqueas and a juice: The Sunshine. The just was delicious, super fresh. They obviously juiced it there as soon as I ordered it. The chilequeas were fine, a bit too saucy for the amount of chips you get. My eggs were perfectly poached though, but not in the sauce like a lot of places that serve this dish. My friend got the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was good, but needed pepper... actually everything needs salt or pepper. She did get a side of cheesy grits which were some of the best grits I've ever tasted in KC.

Omelet
Allie C.

LOVE that this HomeGrown opened so much closer to me than the Leawood one (although that one will always have my heart). The location is wonderful and even has a lot of outdoor interest (fire pits, lawn games, etc). The servers were so friendly and knowledgeable! Service was quick and easy, even for a brand new location. Some people will find anything to complain about but honestly this place is my go-to brunch! Delicious seasonal options never disappoint! Do yourself a huge favor and get the coffee cake - it's out of this WORLD! The omelets are huge and fluffy and filled with deliciousness, and the rosemary breakfast potatoes always always slap. I have to say it again: GET. THE. COFFEE. CAKE.

This location just opened and it's busy so be aware and don't worry about the wait times. Check in online and it will keep you updated. We had Krista as a server and she was great the entire time, on top of the water and drinks. The food came out very quick for how busy they were and all of us enjoyed our food. Will for sure be coming back to this location!

My husband and I are huge fans of Homegrown and have been to almost all the location in Wichita, KC and Missouri. This is one of their newer locations and it didn't not disappoint. My husband thought their biscuits were some of the best yet. My sandwich was perfectly grilled and extra cheesy. Their coffee cake is always exceptional. This one was just a tiny bit drier than some of the prior pieces we have had but that didn't stop us from eating it all. The restaurant was very clean and the staff friendly. I'm hoping they can keep their quality up for years to come.

Honey Bee Latte
Allison G.

The honey bee latte was soooo good and so cute with the lil bee on top. I got the chicken salad sammie from the summer seasonal menu and it was very tasty! Very fresh & the perfect light meal. Their fruit is also the best I've had at a breakfast restaurant. We had to wait a while, but it's new & a busy place so understandable.

My husband and I were finally able to try out this new chain brunch restaurant. We had been several times, but the wait was too long. Thankfully, today we were able to get in immediately. We were seated in a comfortable booth and greeted immediately and served Water from a carafe. I'm glad that they offer gluten-friendly pancakes, and gluten-free bread as an option. I tried out a breakfast and so did my husband, and we liked everything on both of our plate plates. The restaurant is new and decorated nicely and very clean. The waitress was friendly and nice and did a good job, the only thing is that she probably could've visited the table a little bit more to check back to see if we needed anything. Other than that, we had a great visit and we would definitely go back and recommend it.

Sunshine margarita
William L.

Breakfast at the Merriam KS restaurant. Upon entry there is a bar area to the right with booths, while the host station is straight ahead and the main dining area is ahead and to the left. The wait wasn't long before we were seated in a booth and our waitress, Camber, soon arrived. We started with a Bloody Mary and the Jolly Green juice. Later, she ordered the Sunshine Margarita. The margarita was essentially delicious. Entrees were chilaquiles and the Gimme Meats omelette. Unexpectedly, the manager comped our entrees due to the time it took for serving. We hadn't noticed. Very impressed with that move! The food was tasty and nicely plated. Although the omelette could have been more flavorful. The portions were appropriate. An all-around very nice experience from wait service to food. Rated strong 4-4.5 but highly recommended.

Avocado Fresco Salad - Seasonal
Allie F.

I will forever be an unofficial spokesperson for HomeGrown. Everything about it is exactly what I want in a restaurant - the interior is aesthetically pleasing and bright, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the food is absolutely to-die-for. This location just opened near my work and I couldn't be happier. When in doubt of what to order, go for the seasonal specials! They win every single time.

Homegrown never disappoints. Love that you can check in online since brunch spots are always hit or miss on timing to get seated and they are very organized with this system so kudos! This new location is great, plenty of space, same Homegrown vibes. The food is always delicious. Tried the coffee cake for the first time today and is a must have for me every time! Would highly recommend checking this place out!

Usually no wait time. Prices are great, attentive servers and never feel rushed when we are part of a large group.

Jersey Mike's is a newish favorite of mine for sandwiches and I was out running errands when I…read moreremembered that this location recently opened and I just happened to be in the area. So I placed an online order and headed that way. I arrived early and waited for just a little bit. They were super busy but they seemed to be moving pretty quickly. My order was completed right on time and it was accurate. I didn't interact with anyone because they have a shelf to pick up online orders from so it's pretty non contact. I ordered my usual: a regular #9 Club supreme on Rosemary Parmesan. The club supreme has Roast beef, turkey, swiss, applewood smoked bacon and mayo. I like lettuce, tomato, oil, and vinegar. I did add pepperoni just to try it. There was honestly so much already going on in this sandwich and it didn't really add anything. The bread was delicious. The meat and cheese is all high quality and plentiful. And the veggies were fresh. I will definitely return and I recommend them!

This new location was already serving up delicious sandwiches and good service on opening day…read more The regular turkey and provolone sandwich on wheat ($9.50) was made to order quickly with fresh bread, plenty of turkey and fresh toppings. The bread did not overwhelm the sandwich, which let the meat and toppings shine. The menu included a good variety of hot and cold sandwiches, chips, cookies, brownies and meals for the kiddos. I found the service to be welcoming, friendly and efficient, while the dining area was clean and new with country background music. Very nice.
