If you haven't tried HomeGrown yet, PLEASE do yourself a favor and go! We absolutely love the HomeGrown restaurants in Wichita, so when we were near Kansas City and discovered this location, we had to stop in. It was the best meal of the trip. What I love most about HomeGrown is that even though there are several locations, it doesn't feel like a big restaurant chain. It feels like a hometown café where people genuinely care about the food and the community. They make a real effort to source their meat and other ingredients locally whenever possible, and you can taste the difference. The food is fresh, comforting, and delicious, and there's just something about the whole atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. We were told this location has only been open a little over a year and they are hoping for this location to get busier. That honestly surprised me, because this is exactly the kind of restaurant I want to see succeed. So if you're anywhere near this HomeGrown, please go give them a try! Bring your family, meet a friend for breakfast or lunch, and discover a great local-feeling restaurant that deserves to be busy. We already love HomeGrown in Wichita, and now we're rooting for this location, too! read more

I really love HomeGrown Brunch and will definitely keep coming back. The food is usually fresh and delicious, and the service is consistently friendly. On a previous visit, I had the gluten-free pancakes and asked if they could add blueberries. They were happy to accommodate, and they turned out amazing! This last visit was a little different. The service was a bit slow, but nothing terrible. I decided to try the chilaquiles after a recommendation, and I wish I had stuck with their classic breakfast items instead. The sauce tasted more store-bought than homemade, there was very little added pork, and the dish was underwhelming overall. Meanwhile, my friends ordered the traditional American breakfast plates, and everything looked fresh and tasted great. I'd definitely recommend HomeGrown Brunch--just stick to what they do best: their classic breakfast menu. It's always fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for. read more

We usually have a good service when we go to HomeGrown, but today they dropped the ball on that. We ordered pop'd hearts and coffee cake to start, then also ordered Gimme the Meats and the seasonal Country Benedict for our meals. Our main meals arrived even though we haven't been given our starters yet, and they didnt give me my english muffin. It was so hard to flag down our waitress, and we had to ask and wait for condiments twice. Our waitress finally realized they didnt bring the pop'd tarts and coffee cake, so she hurriedly dropped it off and didn't talk to us again until she dropped off our check. Food is always good here, and there are a couple of waitstaff that are awesome. The rest of them felt like they didn't wanna be there which makes the most non-welcoming ambiance. read more

You should give it a try!! Five stars Home Grown!! read more

This Brunch place won our monthly Book club meeting poll. We got on the waitlist to be seated at 10 AM and got seated immediately. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, it needed to have a stronger coffee taste for it to be considered Vietnamese in my opinion. I ordered the pork Salfe Verde with my egg over easy. Our food came out hot and in a reasonable time, my dish had the saltiness of the pork and egg, savoriness of the potatoes, with a little Chalula hot sauce to add it kick the dish was outstanding! Our server did a good job being patient with our party at five individuals and allowed us to conduct our Book club business without feeling rushed read more

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. read more

HomeGrown - Merriam - Ironman scramble (using eggs), with a biscuit. - Salad Near Me - Merriam, Kansas

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!!! read more

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. read more

Soooo nobody was gonna tell me about one of thee best breakfast/ brunch spots? Well, I door dashed Friday and received some of the best food Ive wrapped my lips around in a small minute. Here's the list: Sunrise, Jolly green, Power BLT, Baked Oatmeal, Croissant French Toast, Salsa Verde Pork &Eggs, Homemade Blueberry Tart and Carrot Cake Pancakes. Something tells me you just can't wait to hear.. the Fresh squeezed Sunrise & Jolly Green juice were so fresh and refreshing my goodness they were like little liquid vitamins drinks. The green went down so smooth with a hint of sweetness. The sunrise was just right for first thing in the morning carrot juice mixture I don't think we get enough of carrot juice but I felt so alive after drinking enough too go in on that Savory Satisfying Salsa Verde and it with the over easy egg on top to bring it home. When delivered it was still hot, the pork was so moist and seasoned darn well the salsa brought the entire thing together with that warm egg yolk I almost hurt myself it is a must try. Then comes the Large Power BLT with added grilled chicken. Listen to me you have to add the grilled chicken it takes it to a whole'nother level with the hickory smoky bacon cooked perfectly the kale and the brussel sprouts bean sprouts grape tomatoes it's just loaded goodness and the dressing being oil based seasons the green because they are raw so keep that in mind. You can literally feed 2-3 people with this salad. It's gonna be a summer staple for me no doubt!!!! Now comes the Baked Oatmeal - I've never had baked oatmeal but I believe they may have changed my mind with the berries I can't explain the warm goodness I think it was cinnamon but the oatmeal is so incredibly inviting so moist and chewy almost like an oatmeal cookie added berries for sweetness I added cream too it and let all my cares extinguish themselves. The Croissant French Toast- is RICH absolutely Rich, buttery toasted 3 pieces of goodness with a great helping of syrup. I say have some eggs and bacon some kind of fat or acidic beverage to cut through the richness, it put me to sleep when I finished it. We have the Homemade Blueberry Tart- ok let's talk.. flaky, buttery, when you break off a piece you layers of dough like someone loves their job. The filling on the inside compared to dough was perfect and very blueberry light sweetness, it's a cross between pop tart and toaster strudel but better. The icing kinda rubbed off in the bag but it was just enough and sprinkles to enjoy. I really liked that!! Yep, I saved the best for last those super moist Carrot Cake Pancakes, where have they been all my life huh where have they been? Just a simple sweet carrot cake with syrup you might as well say, like sponges just absorb the syrup to put you in a food coma and gone add a pad of butter as if, well as if it needed to be rich too flavor explosion just all over the place. I've never had that flavor pancake before but I will again. I wish I knew about this place before now, but it is one great find for any day or any occasion. Every item purchased was made, prepared and packaged with care. HomeGrown clearly loves their job because great things are coming out of that kitchen. I was very impressed my favorites are the Power BLT added grilled chicken and those Carrot Cake Pancakes. I've found another way to get my veggies . If you have not tried this place you got to and apparently they have some several locations. Picture time! I also posted my order and price shall you wanna take a walk on the tasty side of life. Enjoy! It's definitely a Yelp 5*****star. The serving sizes were nice. The price for what I got was perfect for me. The flavors paired well in each item. The excellent care in packing made me really happy. HomeGrown is well worth the investment. read more

We waited almost 2 hours we were 3rd in line and they called about 10 groups of people and we were still 3rd in line. Then we moved to 2nd and they kept calling multiple groups of people and finally we moved to 1st and they still kept calling groups of people. I told the hosts why do they keep calling people when it says we're 1st in line and they acted bmud and said they don't know. Then they seated us immediately smh. DO NOT COME HERE. Horrible service read more

This is my go - to for brunch after church on Sunday! It's a busy rather hectic place when you first enter! I got online and secured a spot on the waitlist prior to arriving. It worked perfectly. I was seated almost immediately despite the 30 minute wait time others were experiencing. The Cinnamon French Toast was incredible!! It's a MUST! read more

This location is great! We went on a busy Sunday but we joined the waitlist ahead of time and it saved us a lot of wait time I would definitely recommend.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went on a Sunday morning at about 8:30 and it was kind of busy, but there was still not a wait for us (a table of 6). The service was quick after sitting and ordering. It was spacious enough where it was easy to have conversations. The food was great, but overpriced for what you get (most brunch places are). Overall a good experience and I'd come back int the future! read more

This is my favorite breakfast place! Food I have always found is delicious! Make sure HG to keep what made people love you in the beginning be what they still love you for now! The little touches count. Great food, kind and contentious servers ( for coffee, water etc), food delivered hot and fresh and consistent and on point so that you continue to keep being everyone's 1st choice Breakfast spot! Pancakes are delicious! I will say get on the waitlist early because it is popular and can be a crazy wait. Very nice you can put your self on a waitlist. I have been to the Shawnee location and the atmosphere is lacking a bit compared to the Leawood location. It seems louder, less private, the super high ceilings make it feel less cozy. Overall it is still my favorite place to eat breakfast out! read more

Made from scratch kitchen and you can tell. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!

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. read more

Great food! Generous portions! Food was hot all the way through the last bite. Attentive waitresses. Will definitely be returning

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great service and the food was wonderful. Everything is grown locally. The biscuits and gravy were awesome

This is a new go-to, as it's much closer to us than the others. The food is as one would expect from homegrown- delicious breakfast and great lunch options. Today, I had the "Gimme the Meats" omelette, and I wasn't let down. Paired with a Wolfermans English muffin and jam, it was a great meal. Wifey had the lemon pancakes, which I thought were dessert on a plate paired with sausage patties and eggs. My only complaint is their coffee. It's weak. The first pot we received was basically coffee-tea. The second, after we brought the weak coffee issue up to our server, was better. Our servers has always been awesome, and when we told her it wasn't good, she went to rectify the issue. I don't expect an espresso drink, but I don't want coffee-tea hybrid, either. I drink my coffee as god intended- no cream or sugar, and I can make a cup using Folgers better than this. This is the second time we've sent coffee back, in the past two visits. Apparently, the person making the coffee drinks soda or redbull in the morning, because I'm not sure that they know what they're doing. Four stars because I had already had good coffee at home, prior to coming. read more
