Pescatarian Verdict: #stlouispescatarianapproved…read more Gram & Dun is one of my Kansas City constants. Every time I'm in town, I try to make my way here! This trip, I went straight for the shrimp tacos. They had a little kick, which I loved. Give me spicy shrimp and I'm a happy human. But the real non-negotiable item is the the not so standard potato chips with dipping sauces. Gram & Dun serves them with Parmesan and a sauce flight featuring gold sauce, comeback sauce and black pepper bourbon ketchup. The restaurant is also open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, so you have plenty of opportunities to make poor decisions involving those chips. I've been here several times, and I'll keep coming back. That's probably the best review I can give.

I went to the Plaza this weekend to enjoy the art fair and decided to check out Gram & Dun for…read morehappy hour. After sitting down, we found out that happy hour wasn't being offered because of the art fair. Luckily, we had a fantastic server who made an exception for us since it was still early and we had specifically come for happy hour. For a starter, we got the Crisp Brussels Sprouts, which had a deliciously sweet sauce and a great mix of crunch and softness. For our entrees, we got the OG Smash Burger from the happy hour menu, the Blackened Shrimp & Grits, and a side of the truffle potatoes. The standout for me was definitely the Shrimp & Grits. The grits were deliciously cheesy, while the smoky shrimp and sauce on top cut through them nicely with a sweet and spicy gravy. Everything else was good, but nothing that would necessarily bring me back on its own. Overall, it was a good meal, although I found it a little expensive for a casual dinner. I'd definitely consider coming back for a date night and exploring more of their main menu.

We walked in on a Saturday and only waited about two minutes before we were seated. We both enjoyed the biscuit and gravy which was made to order and my husband had the eggs benedict with a fresh-squeezed orange juice. I had a fresh-brewed iced tea. Our food was cooked made to order and fresh. The portions were great too. Overall, our experience was great and the service was also great. We plan to come back with friends for brunch and to try the rest of their menu.

The food and service was a 10/10! Wish he asked if I wanted dessert...too shy to ask and we were on lunch break. The blended burger had blue cheese which was such a nice compliment to the beets and mushroom that made a majority of the burger. You get a nice taste of the beets with an after taste punch of blue cheese. Definitely worth a try with or without the fried egg. I would suggest adding in red onions as well for a nice bite. The blueberry mint kombucha was a nice compliment to my meal. It had enough acid to balance out that blue cheese after taste. I would definitely love to come again to try more!

Went to Third Street Social with some friends and will definitely be back. The restaurant was…read morepretty busy when we arrived, so we chose to sit at the bar rather than wait for a table near the entrance. We started with the Mini Cheddar Biscuits to share, which come with four biscuits. They were excellent--fluffy on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior. The cheddar flavor hit first, followed by a touch of sweetness from the honey, and the combination worked really well. For my meal, I ordered the Fried Chicken, substituted the mashed potatoes for mac and cheese, and added a side of collard greens. The fried chicken was absolutely amazing, perfectly seasoned and fried. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and cheesy with a nice crunch from the breadcrumb topping. The collard greens were some of the best I've ever had. They had a great smoky flavor and were well-seasoned without being overly salty. The only downside to the experience was the service toward the end of our meal. We sat for around 15 minutes waiting for the bartender to come by so we could get drink refills and the check. We eventually had to wave them down, even though they were working right in front of us. Overall, the food was outstanding and easily made up for the minor service issue. I'll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

I had the…read moregreatest time with my cousins and wish I would have taken more pictures, but we were having too much fun! So it was a group of 5 cousins and sat outside because it was a nice day. The waiter came out promptly and gave us our menus. Because I was a hungry big back I ordered (4) tacos shrimp and I believe steak and got (3) margaritas. Now I can't remember the names since it's been a couple of months. But they were really good. The tacos were really good a little on the small size but hit the spot. Now when we come back I'll make sure I take more pictures and definitely of the food and drinks....until next time!

Pescatarian Verdict: #stlouispescatarianapproved…read more Rye is all of the Midwestern comfort food on the Country Club Plaza in KC. I mean, the deviled eggs and pimento dip . The menu has plenty of seafood options for you, including roasted rainbow trout, salmon and flounder. I got a salad and added shrimp! Refreshing! A solid Kansas City dinner stop, particularly if you're looking for somewhere that feels distinctly Midwestern rather than another trendy national concept.

My husband and I had read nothing but good things about Rye so, as we were at The Plaza on…read moreSaturday, we decided to give it a try...and can see why it is all the rage! The restaurant interior is a combination of both rustic and elegance. Our server was attentive and so sweet! For the appetizer, we ordered the whipped goat cheese. Even if you don't like plain goat cheese, like my husband, trust me, you'll like this. It has a honey mixture on top that makes the goat cheese all the more addicting! It is accompanied by DELICIOUS crusty bread, salad that tastes like it is mixed with a SAVORY sweet onion vinaigrette, and prosciutto. For entrees, I ordered the regular friend chicken sandwich with a side of fries. As I am from the South, I am VERY picky about my fried chicken. As far as restaurant fried chicken goes, this is THE best fried chicken I've ever eaten! The skin was thick and crispy and the chicken breast was very juicy! Not greasy at all. The condiment is a spicy aioli, which was not too spicy (a good thing). It also comes with a pickled cucumber and onion salad that was addicting. The sandwich has one of my favorite types of lettuce: Bibb. The fries were PERFECTLY crispy and seasoned. My husband ordered the fried chicken, which comes with mashed potatoes and gravy and a salad. He loved his meal and said his fried chicken was also the best. The mashed potatoes, which of course I had to try, were so buttery and the prime example of why it is a comfort food. Again, we can see why Rye is recommended by multiple people. We cannot wait to eat here again!!!!

Tucked away next…read moreto the Plaza, it's a delightful little restaurant with a food and drink menu that never disappoints. After a day of airline torture, we landed in Kansas City, checked-in to our hotel room, and made our way directly to PotPie. Welcomed with a smile, we decided on a table next to the front window. Our server was delightful and attentive. Wine selection was excellent, they were kind enough to offer a tasting when we were undecided on the right choice of wine. We split the House Salad and the White Bean Hummus. Excellent choices for shared appetizers. Their Roast Chicken is by-far our favorite dish on their menu. They were so accommodating to even split the dish for us, as it is a very healthy serving. Ambiance is cozy and romantic. Staff is absolutely wonderful! Wine selection is vast and top-notch. From previous experiences, we've learned they also make some mean cocktails - HIGHLY recommended! You won't be disappointed, PotPie is always a 5-star choice in our book!

So I made a rooftop reservation at Blanc... And it ended up pouring that day--luckily, the staff at Blanc were super helpful and worked out another place inside for us to enjoy some beverages and apps! Thanks to all the staff for the help, and not only were they amazingly friendly, but super prompt and attentive. We ended up getting a round of drinks (kir royale, sunrise sangria, blush theory, and French 75). All were great and hit the spot! We also got a couple of appetizers: crab rangoon dip and lamb meatballs. Again, both hit the spot and were nice bites for us before we headed to our dinner reservation. Also we were celebrating my parents' anniversary, so they were offered a pair of chambongs... Champagne in a bong shaped vessel? Super fun and random, so I'm happy we had the experience! Overall, so glad I checked out this place again because I want to add it to my rotation of drink spots. It would be especially nice to go on a lovely day/evening and take advantage of the rooftop with great views! Thanks, everyone at Blanc, for helping us have such an enjoyable experience!

Came to Kansas City over the recent holidays to visit some friends, and Beer Kitchen came as a…read morelocal recommended place. Good food, good vibes, good beer selection, I was sold. So we loaded up and showed up one day around Noon. Ambiance was really cool. It's in the middle of some sort of progressive looking shanty-esque suburb. The kind of place that does drag queen bingo. I was right at home. Inside was college sport bar, but with a nice, huge board on the wall of all their beer selection. It Was quite expansive. Service was top notch, too. Nice server took care of us, made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out at a good clips, and we got an unexpected bonus of free little beignet-like donuts with some delicious dipping sauces. As for food, we started off with a jumbo order of the Truffle Parmesan Hand-Cut Fries for the table. We got to choose two from their extensive list of aioli dipping sauces. Fries were good. Dusted with the perfect amounts of truffle and parmesan. And the sauces were my oh my. I recommend paying the upcharge to just try them all. I mentioned the time earlier, because we had no idea we were stumbling upon their brunch menu. Even more options to choose from! I got the Crispy Waffle Smash Burger (smashed hertzog beef patties, fried egg, smoked bacon, merkt's cheddar, caramelized onion, maple aioli, crispy buttermilk waffle). This thing was really nice. Perfect waffle, not too small, not too big, and no oily or anything obtrusive. A nice bun option. Eggs and bacon sometime get lost against giant burger patties, but with these smash patties, the extra accoutrements really stand out and make this burger really stand out in my mind. I also for the try the Smokestack Burger (smoked burnt ends, smoked gouda, whiskey bbq glaze, pickle relish, chipotle aioli & crispy jalapeño straws). Uhhh, as you can read, this thing was loaded with goodness. Fatty burger, smokey burnt ends, sweet boozy glaze, acidic pickles, and texture from that jalapeno. This was the perfect burger. I insist you order this. Overall, my research did not reveal Beer Kitchen to me, locals recommendation did. Shows that you gotta use your street smarts instead of your book smarts sometimes. Best meal I had in Kansas City.

We ordered the buffet which includes an entrée from the menu and unlimited trips to the appetizer and dessert buffet for one price. For my entrée, I ordered the breakfast chimichanga. It was more wrap than anything. The filling was a lot of black beans. More than anything else was back beans. Hubs had the Prime Rib omelet and a waffle. He said that the slices are prime rib were very large which made the omelet seem more like a scramble with just prime rib. He really enjoyed the waffle. The teenager had pancakes which he said was good and the toddler had French Toast. The French Toast was very dough and she didn't like it and I don't blame her. It should have been cooked longer to rid that doughy texture. The buffet was nice though. The salads were good and the fruit was very fresh. One thing that happened, that the restaurant should take into consideration: hubs wanted the syrup. We had a small metal metal container that had cream in it for coffee and one that had warm syrup in it. I went to check which one was which and the syrup one was so hot and sticky, it got stuck on my finger. When I pulled my hand back, the whole container spilled all over me. Luckily, the syrup inside wasn't that hot, just the container it was in. There's no reason that container was that hot based on the lukewarm temperature of the syrup. Mark sprang into action, getting hot towels for me to clean myself up. Needless to say, I left very sticky. Overall, not a bad place. We will be back for brunch again, making sure to order different things. Mark was thw MVP though of that experience. I hope he's on task to become manager soon because he knew what he was doing.
