    We visited Johnny Ray's twice because we wanted to give it a fair chance…read more The first time, we stopped in for ice cream. The restaurant itself is super cute, fun, and has a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the ice cream wasn't for me. It was overloaded with toppings to the point that I could barely taste the ice cream itself. I love a good balance between the ice cream and the mix-ins, and this just felt like there was way too much going on. The toppings completely overpowered the flavor of the ice cream. We decided to give Johnny Ray's another shot and came back to try the food. Sadly, I wasn't impressed. For the price, I honestly felt like I could have made a better meal at home. Nothing stood out, and it just wasn't worth the money in my opinion. I really wanted to like this place because it's such a fun, inviting spot, but after giving it two separate chances, we've decided we won't be returning for either the food or the desserts. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I also believe in giving an honest account of my experience.

    Stopped in here during lunch time, the place was busy. I was able to get the last seat at the bar…read moreat the time. The one waitress working was on top of it. Top notch service!! Even with the place packed she was getting drinks, delivering food, getting tickets out and checking up on people with very little wait. The food came out relatively quickly, and was a good size order of burger and fries. The burger reminds me of when I was able to get a good roadside burger, I believe the only thing that was missing was a pie display. The front window says they have a car show on the 3rd Saturday of the Month. A car show with the burger shack would make a great way stop spend a Saturday!!

    Door dashed the order. Prices were good but the order was way wrong. Still everything tasted…read morewonderful. We ended up with two orders of Philly cheese steak sandwiches and fries. The correct order was the cheese burger and curly fries. The fries were not so good but maybe just because it was door dash and not fresh by the time it arrived. Finally ordered the 4 item appetizer the onion rings are amazing! And a huge order. I would definitely go again but actually go to the restaurant this time and not order delivery. Only small complaint would be the hours on google and yelp are wrong. Can the business owner update these?

    Best French Toast and Bacon, ANYWHERE! Flew out from California to visit with family. We flew in…read morelate and had a long day traveling. At 1:30AM, there wasn't much open. We find out The Restaurant KC is open 24 hours only a few days/week. On our way to Olathe, we stopped here. The Biker Bar had just closed next door. The Waitress was very nice and told me to get the French toast. I didn't get the French toast and ordered Pancakes (which were great), my brother did order the FT and it was simply the best! Caramelized perfectly with the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar, just a tad of nutmeg (if any) and copious amounts of vanilla in the custard wash. The Chef who works the 24 hour late nights shifts knows what TF he's doing! There were people coming in at all hours for To Go orders of burgers and other dishes. Sucks I'm 1,800 miles away, because this might be the best breakfast I've ever had! The only thing I would change is the chain smoking that happens next door, that infiltrates the restaurant. That's THE ONLY thing I would change. However, the food is so darn good, might be worth the stinky cigarette smoked clothes for some of these hot cakes, griddle items and the tastiest bacon you've ever had.

    I have been here many times for the lunch. You can never go wrong with their menu…read more Staffs are always friendly and welcoming here in TJ's. Vintage ambiance. During my last visit, I have tried their "Giant homemade tenderloin served on a grilled bun with a side of coleslaw". Trust me, you cannot finish em in one shot. As the name suggests, it is a giant one. I ended up a taking leftovers lol. They also have a good dessert option here. Hopefully, I will visit them next time for brunch or breakfast to checkout their menu.

    My family has been coming here for brunch a couple times now and the food is good, waitresses are…read morealways friendly, and even the customers are nice. It's like one big family getting together for brunch. On this time dining in, I didn't have the best experience. My hot chocolate looked very unappetizing after the whipped cream settled and I found meat in my hash browns. This immediately grossed me out because although I do eat meat, my husband doesn't and I couldn't help but to think what if he had gotten this plate and eaten that piece of meet and broke his long years of being vegetarian. After letting the waitress know, she apologized and let me know that everything is made "in one big grill". That didn't reassure any of the "what if" scenarios that was building up in my head. I believe this process needs to be re thought out because I'd be very upset if I was a vegan/vegetarian and I found meat in my food or just the thought of them being cooked together that close for a piece to fall in...yeah no.

    I'm not going to slam it because my B&G skillet was really good as was my side of sausage…read more We walked in at 9 am on Friday. There were a handful of older men seated alone (likely travelers off I-70). We stood at the front waiting and waiting to be seated. The people in the kitchen looked at us but never came to greet us. A lady busing tables and wiping tables also looked at us but also never greeted us. Finally the lady who was busing tables came and sat us. Getting waters we asked for took forever. Taking our order then took forever. One of the men seated at the booth behind us had to take his cup up and ask for more coffee. We almost had to do the same with water. My photos show a 90% empty cafe but after she cleared tables, she rolled the cart right next to our booth and throughout cleaned plates off in it while we were eating. There were a million other places she could've parked that mobile cart and how she couldn't see people wouldn't want to hear her clean plates or clanging dishes... They would've been screwed if that place had been busy. I'd never return.

    My sister and I stumbled on this eatery while road-tripping and are so glad we did. It's darling…read more Leta was outstanding in service and also recommendations. Their mushroom soup was delicious and packed with mushrooms. I also had the Julie Salad with killer homemade ranch dressing. I only wish they wouldn't use all iceberg lettuce. We would definitely return, thank you!

    Corner Cafe has such a cute atmosphere, very cozy "country grandma vibes" and it's usually a place…read morewe enjoy going to. We were seated right away as a party of 8, which was great for a larger group. Unfortunately, the experience this time was really slow when it came to food service. Our food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and we noticed smaller tables that were seated after us received their meals, ate, and left before we even got ours. Our server also walked past our table several times without giving any updates, which was frustrating while waiting. We typically go to the Liberty location because we've had better experiences there. This visit just wasn't the best, but we do like the overall vibe of the restaurant and hope service improves at this location.

    We went for dinner. It took about an hour to get food. Several tables were seated, ate, and left…read morebefore we got our food. It is completely unacceptable to receive service this slow. The food was good, but the fries had been under the warmer for much longer than it should have and felt soggy and lifeless. I would like to try the food again at a corner cafe with good service (this was my first time eating at corner cafe) The inside was very similar to most other brunch spots with a bit of a country theme. The atmosphere felt off with all the customers crammed in one section of the restaurant with the rest of the restaurant left vacant with the lights off.
