Let me start by saying this - I've been to Parlor multiple times...and it's never been BAD. NEVER. IT's never been AWESOME either. It's an adult food court. And the choices vary at times - my favorite of the bunch is still the Korean food. But for the $... it begs the question... is this the best bang for your entertainment dollar? The bar services are friendly but slower than you'd really want. It can get incredibly loud in this place as well. The food is..better than average, mostly good. So I go back to - given the amount of money we drop in this place - there are better places and experiences. But you're not going to have a bad experience here either. read more

The Parlor was such a cool concept and place to check out when in town. This was my first time here and loved the ambiance. DJ was cool, it felt like he was playing my 2000s rnb playlist so it was such a vibe. I tried the Laos Kitchen here and omg it was DELICIOUS. I got the rice bowl with pork and ugh I wish I could have it again. The portion was huge and worth the price. read more

Okay, have to update after my recent experience. Was NOT aware of the $5 mimosas and $8 draft cocktails on Sundays - love that. The espresso martini here is one of the absolute best I have ever had; I can't believe it took me so long to try! Parlor has such a wonderful array of kitchens right now. The staff has always been very kind, no matter who is working. I think it'd be really cool to see a couple of fun mocktails here. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

I had the absolute best service in Kansas City from Chloe. She was so hospitable that I didn't even make it to the second floor. This place is exactly what it should be -- and there should be a lot more of them. The full bar (including my favorite, Fernet Branca) was centrally located and was relatively comfortable. I stayed at a nearby hotel for a work conference and walked about a mile to get here and I'm so glad I did. The food at Elephant Wings was absolutely insane. I got the Bombay-Mi with curry fries and WOW, absolutely worth the price. The guy working the shop is oh so friendly and I just couldn't help but give him a shoutout. Chloe told me about some nearby places to check out and I was able to. Thank god for this recommendation from my Austin Uber driver! read more

Parlor is a great place to hang out with friends. There are several food options so no one has to decide where everyone will eat. There were plenty of seating for the 16 of us when we got there on a Saturday. They also had a full bar which had a good cocktail assortment. The tikka masala poutine was my favorite, but I only got to try two places. I will come hungrier next time. read more

Went Friday 6pm for a work event. There was plenty of parking in front of the building but it gets difficult after that. We reserved the back area- it was very spacious and beautiful. The biggest disappointment was the noise level. The music was blasting non-stop and I felt like I had to yell to have a conversation with the person next to me. Its a fun environment, but I wish the music was slightly lower. I went to the Parlor when it first opened years ago and never considered trying it again because it felt extremely overpriced. This time I felt like the prices were more reasonable- may be due to the change in vendors? I got a gyro wrap from Sidos and the service was super friendly and the portion was great. Had no regrets with my food choice. I ordered 2 mocktails and they were really pretty and I was impressed with the flavors. I asked the bartender to choose what to give me and they did amazing. Overall had a good and fun experience, just wish the music was slightly lower. read more

Such a fun experience! I love that you can get a variety of food, unique dishes, and it's such a fun atmosphere. Many great seating options!

Parlor is an indoor food court with restaurants that change from time to time and with two bar areas. I've frequented Parlor several times over the years and it's a great place to grab food especially if you're in a group and everyone has different tastes. It's also a good spot to grab a drink. They have lots of seating including an enclosed outdoor area. If you're having a party they do have a downstairs area that can be reserved in addition to areas within Parlor. They will also sometimes have live music so check their socials to stay up to date. The restaurants within Parlor rotate but the one OG and probably my favorite is Mother Clucker. You can order online from any of the restaurants or use the kiosks set up at each one if someone isn't available to take your order. There are two bar areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. They do tend to get busy quickly but the service has always been pretty fast. I like trying all the cocktails. The old fashioned is one of my favorites. read more

Such a fun spot. Plenty of options for seating - bar area, patio, food area, couches, high tops. You can reserve areas, too. The staff are all nice and efficient. We had Mother Cluckers chicken and the fries are delicious paired with the cluck sauce. read more

This place is amazing! It's right near the Crossroads so you're surrounded by bustling nightlife, and the vibe inside is cozy and welcoming. I got one of their draft cocktails called Rotten to the Core, and it was so smooth and light - pleasantly surprising. A few members of the group I was with noted that they were able to tell the bartender the kinds of drinks they enjoyed, and just from that they created a killer custom cocktail for them. You can't go wrong with any of the food options, from hot chicken at Mother Cluckers to empanadas, but I ended up going with Tikka Masala Poutine from Elephant Wings - it was incredibly well seasoned with the perfect amount of spice. I also recommend getting some naan to go with it! It soaks up your alcohol intake beautifully! LOL read more

How has Parlor been open for five years? I remember my first visit well, when I was impressed but felt I had overpaid for a food court. I still agree a bit with my first review, and I'm not sure if it's inflation, or age, or the slow passing of time, or a combination of the three, but I find myself coming back to Parlor again and again, and while I can't say it's a perfect experience I really do have a good time each visit. That alone is worth the added star. Now let's get into it. Food: The food here is all around good. I love that they rotate, and now that it's been a few years I can say that they do indeed change vendors. Not quickly, but slowly as businesses grow and move out they are replaced by new up and comers and honestly everything I've had here has been great. Of course there will be some hits and misses, but I do think that the bar is set pretty high for these vendors, as a whole. Service: Since it's a food hall you typically order at a kiosk and then head to your table to wait for a text that your food is ready. I actually really like this system. The only flaw is when you need more sauce, or something random and have to flag someone down. That can be a bit of a struggle depending on the spot you ordered from. Also, the bar tends to get overly crowded and it's HARD to get a drink sometimes. I kind of wish you could also order from a kiosk here, though I get why that isn't possible. Ambiance: It's still a hip and fun place to explore, and given they are five years in and I still feel this way is pretty darn remarkable to me. It's still cool, still hip, and still fun. They manage to keep it pretty clean for a bustling place, and overall the ambiance really makes this a fun place to visit. read more

Visited on First Friday where local vendors and a DJ are added to this multilevel food hall. There's plenty of different type of seating from being at the bar, to couches around coffee tables, bistro style and bleacher like near huge flat screen tvs. The bartenders could use a lesson or two on greetings/acknowledgement but the drink U Rang did not disappoint. read more

First time visiting Parlor after hearing several recommendations over the years and it did not disappoint. This is such a cool place. I made the mistake of visiting for dinner/drinks on a Saturday evening, and it was beyond busy/crowded. I would love to come back during a weekday and have a quieter experience! Tons of places to eat and all of the restaurants looked incredible. I love that each place has a limited menu, which makes it so much easier to pick something to order. I will say that most of the menu items across the different restaurants are pretty pricey, especially for food-truck-type meals. Most menu items are $15-$20. I decided to order at Deez Nachos and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered their totchos (nachos with a tater tot base) and it was SO good. They were $17 total and very filling. Overall, a really neat concept of a boujee mall food-court vibe. Great experience! read more

Super neat place to eat and hang out with a good variety of vendors! It was insanely crowded on a Friday night. We were recommended this place by a couple walking downtown KC. It's a little out of the heart of the city but wasn't longer than a fifteen minute walk. I got the Mother Clucker Comeback Sandwich with Cluck Sauce and a side of fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly! The cluck sauce was heavy on the sandwich so it took a little flavor of the chicken away but nonetheless, the chicken was juicy and crispy at the same time. The fries were seasoned very well and delicious too. I also got an empanada from Una Mas. It was delicious too! The chimichurri sauce was spectacular! The man behind the counter was so sweet and offered me a pastry since I only got one empanada. Beautiful views, vibes, and food at the Parlor! read more

This is the second time we have visited Parlor, each time with large groups! It is a great environment for the young adult crowd or the sport team crowd! The food options run aplenty so there is something for every person.... Even your pickiest eaters! There is also a central bar area to order a glass of wine or a cocktail as you visit. There was plenty of seating for our girls (soccer team) while us parents sat in the cozy seating area enjoying conversation. I will say the music was SUPER loud and us over 45 had a hard time talking. With that being said I know the location caters to a younger crowd. Huge shout out to the mediterranean food spot! They did a wonderful chicken dish for me that was celiac safe! See... yet again something for everyone! read more

A lot of options make for a lot of great smells walking in the door. You can tell this place is popular but it's wearing well; the table dressings are still present, the furniture is in good shape, and the bar is well-stocked. One of the restaurants had a "closed" sign on the front but still let us place an order online, which was a little confusing. The drinks made at the Parlor Bar were tasty and well-made, with a number of ingredients I'd never had before. They have the luckiest bartenders because the espresso martinis are on tap. Very, very, very white, upper class diners read more

The girls decided to come here for lunch. It is a pretty cool place! Plenty of seats, gathering spaces and huge dining area upstairs. Ting's Filipino Bistro- I was excited for Chris to try the Lechon Chicharon; however, I was really disappointed. The description alone says "super-crispy" but their isn't any crunch on any of the few pieces of pork belly tucked into a white paper bag where they came in even if I said it was for dine in. Next stop: Sidos. I had the Shawarma Salad and Chris had the Mixed Kabab. My salad was fresh with a very light dressing and chunks of very tender and tasty chicken, but I wish they put a little bit more of it. Chris's Kababs were good as well. The lamb had a nice flavor and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. read more

I recently tried to get food for myself and a few others. The not all the food was delivered I asked about the rest if the food and was told to get it myself. The one store I was to get a refund and i was to talk to the gm about everything. Well I didn't get a refund which i was told i would and never got a call back. This has been the worst experience i have ever had. If you are thinking of trying it go ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! read more

Saw this place on yelp and decided to visit during a trip to KC. bottom half is like a flea market? i think. they sell vintage items there are a handful of different stalls within the building (fried chicken, mexican, sliders, curry,) i had the potato tacos. very oily. the curry banh mi fusion was only ok. it's nice that you use an ipad to order and they text you when your order is ready. good for groups to hang out since they have a rooftop bar. food wise i did not enjoy but ambiance and location was really cool! read more

The parlor is a mix between a food court, bar and has the comfort of your home with couches. This is a really neat concept for the area. I like that they offer a variety of options for dining. With the seven restaurants you are bound to find some thing that everyone will enjoy and like. The rooftop bar is really nice. A fun place to come as a family on the weekends, with a large group for a special event, for a date night. read more

Over priced for mid food. The vibe is cool and if I was a KC local I would Probably spend some time here just because I love food halls. However Mother Clucker, the chef was rude asf like calm down bro you're not even busy. Bro was getting so annoyed because I asked for my sauce on the side and he was telling me that's not how it works. Like my bad bro but no reason to get all angry about it. Furthermore if you're going to be angry about it your food better slap. His food wasn't bad, but also wasn't worth visiting a second time. As for the Mediterranean place. Their fry oil tasted rancid so the loaded fries kind of sucked. The meat was good tho. read more

The slider burgers are amazing (you will need 3 if you make it a full meal). I loved the kimchi fried rice with spicy pork (enough for 2 meals if you are an average eater). I had order envy when my friend brought a delicious plate of fried chicken mac&cheese over! You can also get a side order of dumplings, fried cauliflower, or fried pork belly from Sura which is great for sharing! Atmosphere is fun on the weekends. They have a bar upstairs and one downstairs as well. Plus inside and outside seating. read more

First time here. Cozy homey feel to this place and also a little trendy as it seems like the younger 20-30 something like to hang out here and a bit noisy. Multiple restaurants to order from. Same concept as Strang Hall if you have been to one in Overland Park. This place seem to have somewhat more of a fast-food type option. We opted for Korean food and ordered from Sura Eat. Menu priced about $9-$13 per entrees. Two type of sauce available for your taste. Japchae was really good. I would order again. Overall I give it a 4-stars for the concept and atmosphere of the place. read more

Parlor was probably my favorite place I went to while I was in KC. Seriously so unique and the BEST vibes. They have tables, comfy couches, and comfy chairs. They have two floors of places for food and a bottom floor which was booked for a private event when we were there so I'm not sure what it looks like down there. We got mother clucker and ladybird taqueria and both were so so delicious.we got the chicken and shrimp tacos from ladybird and the chicken sandwich and tenders from mother clucker. Bartenders were super sweet and fast and prices were super reasonable! Super highly recommend! read more

To compare this to Strang Hall, which is another food hall with trendy restaurant concepts down in north Overland Park, Strang is where you take the family on the weekend and Parlor is where you go with your guys/gals on a Friday night. It's worth going to Parlor for the venue + seating + atmosphere, the speed of food delivery, and the drink options, but I'd personally prefer Strang Hall for the food. The prices are comparable (expensive), but the quality of Strang's food is better. The food is perhaps less novel than a mac n cheese or fried chicken restaurant, but they make up for it in the details. That also makes Strang slower. At Strang Hall, you order, wait 30-40 minutes for them to make your food from scratch, and then eat delicious food that is surprisingly smoky, savory, crispy, crunchy. Their concept is "chef-driven food hall", and it shows. At Parlor, you order, wait 10 minutes for your food, and then eat food that is good but lacking finesse. The Honey Serrano Mac n Cheese was on the sweet side, with noodles that were a little soft, and the sauce was watery. The Pork Adobo was better--meat was tender and the garlic rice was savory--and I'd definitely revisit Ting's if I come back to Parlor. read more

We really liked this food hall. We came on a Sunday night and it still had a crowd before closing. It's great for friends, families and dates. We ordered from two restaurants-so grateful for the variety of cuisines.

This is a huge food hall with a lot to offer. I tried the taco concept and was blown away by the carnitas taco and the adobe chicken tacos. Carnitas tends to run dry but this was so moist and tender. Same for the chicken tacos. The meat was moist and just delicious. And sauce on the adobo chicken tacos was money. Tied all the flavors together beautifully. Light corn tortillas were the perfect vessel. Plenty of fresh cilantro on top. The chips and salsa left a lot to be desired. The mild salsa tasted really bland. The chips were a little too thick and despite the seasoning on them didn't really taste like much either. It looked like they had absorbed a bit too much grease. We ended up throwing them away. read more

This food hall has decent food options and prices are okay. Can be tricky getting enough seating for your group depending what time of the week you come and parking can be scarce.

I would still return to this place as I had a good time here with friends. read more

It was a fun place. Lots of choices and such a cool atmosphere. We ate at Mother Clucker which was soooo good! It seemed like it was the busiest place in the Parlor.

My friend brought me here since we were in the area for lunch. She kept saying it's like an adult cafeteria with a bar. She was not wrong. There are probably like 7-8 places to choose from to eat at (each with its own prices). There was pizza, Asian fusion, chicken, etc. We ate at Sliders. They serve sliders. Lol When I say best Truffle fries around, that's what I mean! Delicious Truffle Fries! There was a bar on the main floor and the second floor. I'm still not drinking yet but next time, I'll take a Margarita please! There is a bottom level where I'm told they hold open mic nights and the like. It's a nice place for a party or gathering as well. Someone was having a baby shower there. It's a great place to eat. Even bring the kiddos! It's nice to see downtown spruced up. read more

So many different possibilities here! 2 floors of food from very different places/ types/ flavor. There is a bar on each floor. They sell thrifty items. They serve tacos, sliders, hot chicken, Korean, Filipino, Mac n cheese, and maybe one other place. There is an area upstairs that is semi outside that has heaters. I chose the Korean spot. It was my first time. It was pretty good. The sauces were good. Very flavorful. read more

Wow. A little customer service goes a LONG DANG WAY! I recently posted a review about a disappointing experience of being overcharged by the bartender who was dismissive when I pointed it out, first telling me I was mistaken and then, when I showed her the receipt, said "weird, I'll let them know" and walked off without refunding me or even apologizing for the mistake. Needless to say, it wasn't a great interaction (or even a well made drink) but the experience was an anomaly- I've gone to and enjoyed Parlor many times (and had several very well made drinks), but an experience like that can sour someone on a place... After posting my review the VP or operations left his phone number, asking me to call. I did, because I thought they should know they were overcharging for their drinks. He apologizing profusely and telling me they would be having a meeting about the price discrepancies and also discussing how to treat a customer in that kind of situation. He thanked me in a very sincere way for bringing this to their attention and also sent me a gift certificate. So again, the interaction with my bartender wasn't great but the way management is handling it speaks volumes and I am looking forward to enjoying some food and drink on their awesome patio sometime very soon. read more

Love the concept of this space. Similar to strang hall over in OP, but a much younger/vibrant crowd. Definitely more of a late night bar than strang. Decent food if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. We got the vegetarian sliders and truffle fries. They're small but lots of flavor. They had a few vintage clothing vendors one night which I loved. Not a place I would seek out necessarily for food, but always a good option when you've been drinking downtown and get hungry but don't want to go dine in somewhere. read more
