I've driven past Porky's BBQ countless times on my way to Moonrise Ridge Mercantile and finally…read morestopped in -- what a mistake it was waiting so long! The brisket sandwich was lean and amazing, the fries and the mac and cheese was absolutely perfect. The owners came out personally and brought us their ribs to try along with their grandma's recipe pasta salad -- both excellent. The char on those ribs was spot on, perfect consistency in every bite. That kind of hospitality is rare and really sets this place apart. Fair warning on the photo -- it is not great because we ate everything so fast! That should tell you everything you need to know. I will be back every single time I'm in Grain Valley. This place is a true hidden gem! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Finally stopped at Porky's BBQ in Grain Valley after passing by it so many times on the way to my…read moreniece's place in Moonrise Ridge, and wow... this place is a hidden gem. The lean brisket sandwich was absolutely amazing -- tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also tried their new fries and honestly can't believe they waited this long to add them because they were incredible. The owners were unbelievably nice and even brought us out ribs to try along with their grandma's recipe pasta salad. Both were excellent. The char on the ribs was perfect and gave them the exact right consistency and texture in every bite. You can tell they really care about the food and the people coming in. This will definitely be a regular stop for us every time we head out to see family. Easy 5 stars.

Honestly, for the size of the nachos, we should have just shared them because it was a lot of food. There were some flies around, which I know is kind of one of those things from doors opening and closing. Our service kind of dropped off later in the meal but not that we needed a lot. I just sometimes get annoyed when you're ready to leave and they stop coming by to get you paid out, etc.

Great flavors. If there is any issues the owner left his card. Someone behind me had the largest…read moreprime rib ive seen in a long time. Salads are fresh w great dress.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and the shops are full of unique finds you don't see anywhere else. It's one of those places you can wander around and always discover something new. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and we even got to try some delicious caramel apple tea which we had to bring home. I can't wait to go back and take family and friends.

There are multiple small buildings with various types of kitchen, baking and cookware, dish ware and some clothing & bags. My favorite buildings are the General Store and Morton House. There is a large selection of choices! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We were there in the hour before closing. The building not in the General Store had closed out their cash drawers. They offered to walk us over to the main store to check out there.

Like many new spots, Bean & Vine had a few growing pains when they first opened, but they've truly…read morefound their stride. It has quickly become our favorite neighborhood spot for breakfast and brunch. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully done. The Morning Harvest quinoa bowl is a standout -- hearty, healthy, and flavorful -- and the open bagel sandwiches are another go-to that I look forward to ordering. It's so nice to have lighter, nourishing options that still feel indulgent. The space itself is small and cozy, and the team has done a wonderful job maximizing what they have without it ever feeling cramped. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long, but it's clearly made to order and absolutely worth it. Bean & Vine has become a place my husband and I happily return to again and again, and we are so glad to have it in the community.

Last week we had the BEST time at Station 7 in Lee's Summit! We came on a Monday night for dinner…read moreand were so excited to find out they have kids karaoke - such a fun and unique experience for families! The patio is spacious and has yard games and turf so the kiddos can run around. The food is just as good as what you'd expect from Martin City Brewing Company. Our table's favorite was the meatball appetizer and their pizza! We had Lindsay as our server and she was so friendly and made us feel welcome. Although our daughter is only two, she got on stage for a couple karaoke songs, and honestly just watching the bigger kids sing their hearts out was the highlight of our night! Check out Station 7 on Monday nights for a family-friendly experience!

A normal human being does not typically go to a gas station to order pizza. They usually go there…read moreto order gas. Trust me on this one, I've seen it happen hundreds of times in my life. I've even done it myself! Tucked away in a back corner of Casey's General Store is a small white kitchen containing about six different appliances. One of them converts things that were previously not hot into things that are currently hot. One of them cuts things, thereby transforming one large object into several smaller objects which retain the same basic properties of the original. The function of the remaining items are anybody's guess. I hardly ever see employees doing anything in this room besides avoiding it. Despite all this, Casey's somehow manages to put out great pizza. I don't mean great as in "somebody call up that fat blond jerk from the Food Network and tell him to visit," but great as in "it's Pleasant Hill." I've got nothing bad to say about their food, and the old ladies working as cashiers are always entertaining and friendly. They were briefly closed for violating a health code, something about having dead bugs in their freezer or something. That shouldn't affect anybody unless they order a frozen pizza. My original opinion remains firm.

A beacon of light in the darkness of little Greenwood…read more Casey's is a gas station/convenience store with a little pissaria (sorry my last letter of the alphabet on my keboard isn't working) . Their pissas, although a little pricey are darn good and cheesy..enough cheese to choke a chicken. The gas prices are very competetive. They are always the lowest prices of all those in Lee's Summit and Greenwood if not the same price as others. The cashiers are friendly and the local Greenwood cops often hangthere in the midnight watch when nothing else is going on. A couple times, their satellite has gone out when I've run my debit/credit card at the pump or in the store, but they will just run it manually...no big deal. They have good, fresh donuts, too, if you get them in the morning. Free air for your tires and window wash thingys to wash your windows. Visit lovely Greenwood and it's only gas station, Casey's.
