I'm updating my review of Paul's Drive In. Today was a much better experience than last time…read more I came to Pauls for a late lunch and ordered only a double cheeseburger with mustard, pickle and onions and a Coke. That's my standard test for any burger joint. Sometimes I'll get fries or tots, but I don't really care for either generally. Today I got a big old Smashburger. The patties were thin crispy and more than ample. Great flavor and sear on the meat. Friendly gal at the front register who allowed me to take my time as I was unfamiliar with the menu. She was very kind. The floor is a little dirty, and it smells kind of funky, which is appropriate for a good burger joint. I will be back. Thanks to my wife for convincing me to give Paul's a second chance.

I loved the food, but the kids' orders were wrong and when brought to the cashier they didn't seem happy about it- not sure if its a normal occurrence or what.

The owner was super kind and friendly - she helped make a fancy little bag for my friend! They've been here since May and it's a great location in my opinion.

She didn't say sorry for the wait or what would you like. I'll go back again to see if service is better or maybe that particular person had a bad day.

Food - we ordered a sausage burrito, which was very delicious. They definitely give you a lot of meat, which is nice since that's what you're paying for. No potatoes in the burrito, which is another plus in my opinion. Bagel sandwich with added pesto was perfect. The bagel was soft and fresh which I appreciate. Excited to return here again!

And it was just super cute! I had the broccoli cheddar quiche which was super yummy, it could use a touch of salt for me but I'd give it 8/10! I also had a medium iced Carmel toffee truffle latte, they were able to make it partially sugar free and I had mine with oat milk. They had lots of flavors and non dairy milk options as well. It had a great price point as well, I paid $15 for my order which I was thrilled with. There was a cute little area with "shopping". I also saw they do door dash as well! I would definitely recommend!

I look around, take in the atmosphere, smell the coffee in the air, and just let a smile happen. The vibe matters to me, and so do the baristas.

I'd be coming back to Front Range again and again. It was one of those "where have you been all my life?" moments. Like. don't ever leave.

I've always been a big fan of Cold Stone Creamery, and even though I live in Lee's Summit where…read morethere are plenty of ice cream places nearby, Cold Stone is usually my go-to whenever one is close by. Up until now, I've always had a good experience at this location. Unfortunately, my visit on 5/6/26 around 8 PM was disappointing. I ordered a quart of the Apple Pie A La Cold Stone, which is supposed to include French vanilla ice cream, apple pie filling, pie crust, cinnamon, and caramel. The young man preparing it barely added any mix-ins at all. There were only a few tiny pieces of apple in the entire container, and when I politely asked if he could add a little more, he only added what looked like one extra piece. The quart container also didn't seem properly filled for the price. I understand the employees were young and likely still learning, and I didn't want to make a scene because there was a line of customers waiting. Still, when customers are paying premium prices, they expect the portions and ingredients to match what's advertised. I'm hoping this was just an off night because I really do enjoy Cold Stone, but consistency and portion quality definitely matter.
