    Pho combo
    Kevin B.

    Ordered the combo/house special pho. Vegetables were fresh and the soup broth was decent. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a combination of a casual eatery and a sports bar. Service was friendly and the food came out piping hot. Prices on the foods were fair as well. Overall, a good place to have a meal with a couple friends or with family members.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. I stopped by for lunch totally unplanned. I asked the server (who was super friendly) what she recommended and she said "it's all good!" Haha. So I asked, "What do you think of the pork vermicelli?" And she said, "That's a good one. It's too hot for pho!" Love her. And true to her words, the vermicelli was SO GOOD!! I literally devoured it. She had come back with a to-go container and was shocked that I had finished the entire dish. I would definitely come back for that vermicelli dish!!

    Stiped by with the family. I ordered 2 appetizers, the egg rolls had a great crunch but the flavor came from the sauce 3/5. The BBQ pork buns had great texture and nice flavor but the pork it self was not seasoned just the bread 4/5. The water was cold but tasted like chlorine 1/5. I came for a family member but wouldn't come back on my own.

    The Pho is outstanding, when you're under the weather, this is possibly one of the best things you can do for yourself. Friendly staff. If there ever was a place that needs to put a sign on their door to shut the door, it's here. They have two doors and they don't shut and people don't realize it so it gets really drafty. Now when Kansas City has a cold night, these doors need to be shut, end of story.

    I love coming here for pho. This place doesn't disappoint and the service is good. Inside is kind of dated but it's also clean in here.

    Came in on a gloomy Wednesday Morning and it was pretty packed, I didn't get sat right away because it seemed to be a one woman show at the time, she was taking orders on the phone, serving, filling take out orders and even seemed to work the kitchen as well. It was frustrating at first because I thought It would be a long wait, but she was a very impressive multitasker. I sat at the bar, got a menu, ordered pretty quickly and got my pho within mins and it was delicious! The broth was amazing and the steak was a little thicker then I'm use to but I still liked it. Def would go again, eventually someone came in to help her but either way I was impressed!

    Beef vermicelli. It had a large portion of beef.

    Went there for a late lunch. There were only few people inside when got there. The place looked clean. I ordered the vermicelli beef and was surprised to see big portion. The service was great and the servers were attentive.

    One of my top go-to spots in Kansas City! I probably get this at least once a week it's so good! The pho is amazing but have yet to try anything I don't love here. And if you've never tried the BBQ Pork Buns, they are NEXT LEVEL. Super quick for carry out orders but also great for dine-in as well!

    Calamari
    Calie H.

    We came in for a quick "snack" Ordered a few appetizers. All were fresh and delicious. Plus, all were $10 each. Can't get that anywhere else in this economy. Service was great. All servers were very attentive and friendly. They have street parking and parking lot next to the bar. I will definitely back to try other items on their menu, like pho and banh mi. On Thursday, you can get banh mi and for BOGO for $3

    Seafood pho
    Molly M.

    I often get their seafood pho to go, I ask for spiciness to go and they give me a chili paste that makes the broth so delicious. They give plenty of seafood to go in the box and are always ready promptly and kind.

Rustic aesthetic- wood floors, bench seating, table and metal chairs along with a bar seating facing the kitchen and front window Nashville Hot chicken was firrrrah!

    We dropped into Beer Kitchen on Mother's Day for a brunch after learning that the Westport Cafe had…read moreits reservation book slammed for a month and was searching for an alternative. The service manager saw us eyeballing the menu on the board and answered out questions, then invited us in. My family of four was sat in a booth in the middle of the restaurant with good visibility around the entire establishment. Ambiance was good, considering that its not inherently a family place. Old tap pulls adorn the ceiling and the light is just bright enough to not strain your eyes, but not so bright that there is glare off every surface. I ordered a cowboy coffee (espresso with tequila, very interesting) and a waffle smash burger sandwich. The table got fries as an appetizer and some kind of fried donut thing that I could have sworn was a Zeppole. As always, let's start with what was good... The appetizers were very good. The dips on the fries were both amazingly good. So much so that I used them on my side of fries after the kids ate all the ones in the basket. The waffle smash burger had a good flavor considering I had never paired a waffle with beef. Prices were agreeable for Westport, but its Westport so there is a slight premium. Servers were pretty much everywhere, so it was never too long for any request we had to be taken care of. On the flip side of that, there was a server doing side work dead center of the restaurant which was kind of awkward. I am used to seeing side work done in somewhere inconspicuous so it was just a little odd, but not off putting. Now let's look at the things that could be better... The dipping sauces for the Zeppole were not thick enough to actually stick to the delicious treat. The berry sauce really needed to be reduced further because it was too thin by far. Delicious, but thin. My waffle for the smashburger sandwich was too oily by far. I think this may have been an intentional choice considering that the waffle serves as the "bun" for the sandwich and maybe the oil was an attempt to keep the juice from the burger and the sauces from turning the waffle into mush. It worked... but it did take away from the flavor by obscuring the taste of the waffle itself. My egg was cooked to specification, so that's a win, but my partner's egg was overcooked. Consistency! Very important and yet not guaranteed, I think. The biggest problem I have with the brunch at Beer Kitchen though isn't the food, but the menu itself. There is not any way to construct a decently priced "simple breakfast." If you're not that hungry, or adventurous, you may find the menu difficult to contend with. I would consider adding something like "the Oldtimer" and have it be two eggs, a meat, toast, and fruit. Price it at 13.99 and leave it alone. Overall, the Beer Kitchen is a nice little brunch spot. So much so that we intend on making it a semi-frequent stop for us on days when the kids want to venture down towards the Plaza. 4 stars. Has room for improvement but is a solid experience for what you pay.

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.

The photos looked amazing, and this place has solid reviews so I was walking in with a certain expectation. What was remarkable is how it was even better than I thought it would be. Let's start with the ambiance. The actual cafe is very small but charming. If it's cold or rainy outside you might need to skip Le Champion unless it's not busy as I think only a few folks can really fit inside. The inside is well designed though, and feels charming without being overwhelming. What stole the show for me though was the patio. As someone who studied abroad in France it felt so French to me in the best way. To me, it feels like taking a Parisian cafe and mixing it with a hip KC bar - it doesn't feel necessarily exactly like one or the other, but it compliments both and feels uniquely it's own in the best way possible. On the day I visited it was absolutely gorgeous outside and I had one of the best breakfast burritos of my life, mostly due to their chimichurri sauce. I also pretty much add a star for any place that keeps espresso tonic on the menu. Overall I love Le Champion and can't wait to return.

The Whompa sauce wasn't too spicy at all and the other one (blue label) was sweet. Both good. Fries were great. Onion rings were just OK. Would stop again! I loved the huge outdoor area.

They had a good selection of appetizers as well as sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and daily specials. I was craving a BLT. Usually the Peanut is my go-to but I must say Tower Tavern may now take top spot. Especially for the price...$10?! Yes please. Also, I am a sucker for homemade potato chips so I loved to see that as the side option. The bacon was crispy not flabby and sad, it had the perfect salty bite. The shredded cheese made me so happy because it was generously piled on the texture is just nostalgic to me. The tomato was overpowering, sometimes a soggy thick slice of tomato can ruin a BLT for me. I will definitely be back to Tower Tavern to use my Pub Pass and to try some more food. If you're looking for a very solid bar with very solid bar food I would say give it a try! The prices are right, the beer was flowing, and the food was tasty and executed right.
