Being from out of state, I specifically sought out a BBQ joint to fulfill my midwestern barbecue…read morecraving before flying out. I was pleasantly surprised to come across Blind Box, which offered a quick and casual experience which such friendly service from the cashier. It is located within a bigger furniture store, yet conveniently located near the entrance with open seating. I ordered the Podium Platter which was prime beef burnt ends and brisket, along with a side which we chose the cheesy corn bake. Absolutely delicious and all were so tender. The brisket was easily pulled apart and the brisket was just melt in your mouth. The cost of the plate was reasonable at $15, and was enough to share between me and my partner. I highly recommend for anyone nearby looking for a casual yet filling and solid food spot!

I give them major props for being a local restaurant at The Legends. In my experience, this area is…read moretypically overrun by chains and drive-thrus, so I was happy to stumble on this place, attached to NFM. That being said, it didn't all come together as hoped. We were a bit early to the dinner rush with our kids, and the place was empty with some muted TVs hovering around the atmosphere. We started with onion straws which was probably the best thing I had that night. Perfectly seasoned and lightly fried. I got the "Lightweight Platter" with two proteins and since ribs weren't an option, went brisket and chicken. Both were so dry they looked like Thanksgiving turkey once the Christmas lights are up. The edges were especially dry, to the point where I had trouble eating it. The flavor of the brisket was good, the chicken was not full of the smoky flavor one would hope for. To be perfectly honest, this felt like when I get BBQ well outside of Kansas City, not holding up against any of the classics or heavy hitters. My kids chicken tenders were surprisingly delicious (and moist), and made for nice leftovers too. So that was a plus. This ended up being our priciest meal of our little staycation, and unfortunately, one of the most forgettable. I see what they're going for, but until that meat gets raised up to a standard level for the midwest, I can't go much higher than 3 stars.

While out visiting new restaurants we decided to stop into 1930 Classic Kitchen. Not to small and…read morenot to big, inside dining available as well as carry out. I came specifically to try the fried fish. The Basa tasted hot and fresh when it came out. Glad I decided to get the lb. The yams weren't as tasty, could have been from earlier in the day but they seemed old, not as fresh. (When substituting the side there is a $1.75 up charge.) If I return. I'll probably try the cabbage as a side next time to have another item to compare my experience to. We did the pork chop meal as welll. The pork chop was huge, seasoned and cooked perfectly but with the sides is where things fell flat. The Mac & Cheese was different. Tasted as if a cheese sauce was used and maybe some kind Cajun seasoning. It was a bit different so I'd say its probably based on acquired taste on if its for you or not. Now the star of the show was the banana pudding. It was almost like a statement piece for the meal, a refreshing item to top of the savoring of the meats. Its worth checking out of you're in the area. Be prepared to wait, as the food is cooked to order.

The next day, it was so packed the line snaked around into the back hallway. It was oddly quiet inside, so maybe we caught it during a time when they were refreshing all the buffet food. Either way, it didn't take all that long but the kids were restless. I thought the food options were pretty solid! There was an omlette bar right when you walk in, and made to order. There was also cereal, pastries, turkey sausages, bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, pancakes, and more. Kind of like a Hampton Inn style hotel breakfast. They also had juices and coffees. Definitely go dark roast, it's pretty alright whereas the light one tastes like hot water. The flow was wonky and all over the place, but it's Great Wolf Lodge; it's expected with kids of all ages running the place. I'd do this again. They're sort of pushing it on all price points lately, so I'd recommend they keep this around $10-$15 otherwise it's super easy to pop over and grab something for the family nearby as an easy alternative.

Since many of the remaining locations are in the Midwest, I knew I had to make time to visit while we were in town. And naturally, I had to go at least twice! I'm happy to report that it was just as great as I remembered. The food was excellent, the drinks were great, and it was nice to revisit a place I've loved for so long. The menu is your typical brewery fare, but it's consistently good, and sometimes you don't need a restaurant to reinvent the wheel. Across the two visits we had the bbq chicken flat bread, chicken tuscano, and the crispy Asian shrimp tacos. Atmosphere was still chill, we watched the games while there. Our server was really nice and made the experience even better. She explained the differences between Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas, from a local's perspective, including how people in the area distinguish between the two when talking about Kansas City. She also gave us recommendations for barbecue spots to try during our trip, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. The food was just as good as I remembered, the drinks delivered, and the service was excellent. Granite City remains a personal favorite, and I'll absolutely take the opportunity to visit whenever I can!

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.

They only had about half the restaurant open. We ended up at the bar after sitting in a closed section. The bartender was very nice and attentive. We ended up sharing 3 different appetizers: chili cheese fries, chicken tenders, and mac n cheese bites. All of the food came out quickly, and we left nothing on our plates. The food was really good and hit the spot. Everything was cooked well with nothing being too greasy, salty, bland, or anything like that. The view of the speedway really makes this bar stand out for me and it even has outdoor seating which would make for a great outdoor dining experience. The menu is somewhat small but they hit most of the bar foods staples. My only real complaint, is that the TV's are kind of in terrible spots. The bar has a huge screen above it but it is not very visible, and no one at the bar can comfortably watch it. There are TV's all over but sitting at stools we were on at the bar, there was no TV that was big enough within our view without turning our bodies/necks. The booths have TV's in each of them which is a huge plus but when only a handful are available to be used, that doesn't really do much for anyone else. Overall, we loved the food and the service. But the arrangement of TV's in this "sports" bar leaves much to be desired in my opinion.
