I was out and about on 87th Street in Lenexa searching for a top-tier breakfast, and I absolutely hit the jackpot. This spot is owned by the same team behind Kate's Kitchen up north--which I've always found fantastic--and I'm happy to report this location is on that same elite wavelength. The Experience: The atmosphere is clean and impressively airy, making for a great morning vibe. Both the hostess and server were exceptionally engaging, even providing a personal water pitcher for the table--a small touch that makes a huge difference. The Food: Chicken Fried Chicken: This is the real deal. It was clearly prepared fresh, not frozen, which is a rarity these days. The Sides: The home potatoes were perfectly crispy, and the gravy was thick, peppery, and hit all the right notes. The Biscuit: This "super-sized" biscuit was essentially the icing on the cake. The Eggs: I ordered my eggs poached soft. They arrived a bit too soft (runny yolk was the goal, but these were just under), though in fairness, that's likely on me for the specific request! Verdict: If you want a breakfast that feels home-cooked with high-quality ingredients and attentive service, this is the place. I'll definitely be back for their famous French toast and medium poached eggs . read more

Do you need a delicious breakfast as fast as humanly possible? Do you prefer to take your time and catch up with family or friends? Either way, Ronnie's Restaurant is the ANSWER! Our food was so fresh. Our coffee was immediate! More coffee in a thermos pitcher .. fill your cup as many times as you like! My friend had a 2-egg breakfast with just what she ordered and I had some of the best corned beef hash with perfect over-easy eggs. Very reasonable price and exquisite service. read more

Found this spot via Yelp and conveniently located close to our hotel. Large and varied menu, healthy and not so healthy lol Went two consecutive mornings, and food was consistently good. My husband had a turkey Reuben both days, "delicious." His favorite go to, and the marble rye was fresh. His coleslaw was a bit dry on day one and better yesterday. His fries looked batter dipped, hard to describe but really good. I got the platter day one: pancakes with bananas and peanut butter, with two eggs. I chose turkey sauce which was excellent and fruit. Yesterday I had a chicken Caesar wrap which was also delicious, warm and filling. My side of fresh fruit ( strawberries and bananas) were fresh and personally preferred over the also offered mixed fruit. I had leftovers both days. Our servers were both energetic, friendly, and very competent young men who really enhanced the meals. Thank you Ethan on Wednesday and Beau on Thursday. There is baseball themed artwork on the walls which is another fun touch , especially for our baseball loving family. read more

Food - consistently good and fair priced. Service - well trained balancing the attentive but not overbearing tight wire. Ambiance - Diner feel but not W.House decor. Been going here for years, recently tried (for the 2nd time) the Waffle platter. B.Waffle with or w/o p.sugar (need to specify IF you don't want the sugar on top). 2 eggs your way (over medium etc), and your choice of meat (bacon/sausage/etc) IF you prefer your plate items separate at all times STOP HERE and flee. Personally, i like to first: 1. Butter the waffle even with extra butter, 2. Lay the eggs on top of the waffle. 3. Crack/slice/decorate the eggs with bacon/sausage/etc. 4. Then mush, combine and enjoy the merging of the flavors of the waffle, the eggs, yolk and whites, and maybe bacon. Healthy / crazy / out there option - get some cottage cheese and spread it instead of the syrup??? read more

A friend recommended Ronnie's to me as it's super close to where I live and do Pilates! I finally had the opportunity to try it with a group of girls after Pilates one morning and it did not disappoint! It's family owned which is so special and they actually work in the restaurant and their story is on the menu! So cute! We each ordered something different - all wanting either sweet or savory or both - and the menu had options for everyone! I do not eat meat and am lactose intolerant and they easily accommodated my needs which was so nice! I wound up ordering the "In the Garden" which had eggs scrambled with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions and comes with sides of salsa, fresh fruit, and toast. I ate the entire thing as it was so delicious! The food, service, and atmosphere were all so great, I highly recommend! read more

Reading through my last review in 2019 I was right that I wasn't going to be back soon, given that it's been five years between visits. That being said, a lot has changed in five years, and I now have a four year old in tow, and I have to say that Ronnie's is a great spot for families. I remember back in 2019 we had some rude service, that was long gone this time around. The servers were all very friendly, and on a busy weekend morning I was honestly really impressed we were able to walk in and snag a table, despite it being constantly busy the entire time we were there. I indulged in chicken fried chicken which was great, my husband got a breakfast burrito which I think he thought was average, and my daughter had a cinnamon roll which she loved. I still think in terms of cravable breakfast food there are likely some spots around town that shine a bit better, but Ronnie's does a good job of serving up the classics and I appreciate that a casual, locally owned spot like this exists. I have a feeling now that we have kids this place will become a semi-regular spot in our rotation when we feel like braving it for brunch. read more

I reserve 5 stars for perfection. Today that's what I witnessed. We had a line waiting to get in but we were seated within 5 minutes. Greeted quickly with coffee and water. Ordering took some time because there were so many great choices. But the server was patient and answered all our questions. I ordered biscuits and gravy with over easy eggs and a side of corned beef hash. My gf got an omelet with sourdough toast and homestyle potatoes. The biscuits were fresh, obviously homemade, and the best I've ever had. They served the gravy on the side and I almost didnt want to put it on the biscuits. The hash was homemade and tasted great. Seasoned perfect. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The homestyle potatoes were crispy outside and tender inside. Her omelet was fluffy and the toast was done to perfection. The prices were very good and we will definitely be back many more times. read more

Where to start. The restaurant is fresh bright and clean. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. I got Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter. The syrup was totally unnecessary as this was the most decadent French toast ever. My Bf got The King platter. Waffle with peanut butter and banana. He said it was the single best breakfast he'd ever had. We are new to the Lenexa area but this is definitely our new go to bkfst and lunch spot. Ps. The sandwiches and lunch specials looked wonderful. read more

Seems like plenty of parking in the area--other businesses here as well. Food: It was okay, but nothing I couldn't fix myself and for less. The "veggie" omelet mostly had tiny minced or diced red bell peppers and onions. It was definitely lacking on mushrooms and asparagus--for $11.50, I didn't eat the fruit--mostly cantaloupe and honey dew--I should have subbed something else if I'd thought to ask. I wouldn't buy this again, nor would I come back for something else. The toast was likely grill-toasted--not my favorite. I don't know if they cook their eggs using bacon grease, but it might warrant the question. Which leads me to service: Not great. I didn't have any major issues to warrant the wait staff helicoptering around, but I was only asked how everything is/was when I was clearly done with the meal. Like the food, it was just meh. Ambiance: It's a family restaurant; it's noisy and it wasn't full with noisy kids. I think it's the general acoustics of the place. I had gone solo but I imagine conversion might be difficult. The venue was not crowded, but there were more than 10 folks dining. Overall, I'd give this place between 2.5-3 stars. read more

Great food, great staff, quick service and good size portions. Atmosphere is nice and clean. Get that cinnamon roll!

Amazing food and service! A wonderful breakfast spot. So glad we came to Ronnie's Restaurant because it was delish! They have a good selection of eggs Benedict, pancakes, omelets, and even some lunch options. They even have a picture of water and coffee on the table... Genius .. I think every breakfast place should have the water and coffee on the table loved that ideas! I ordered the breakfast quesadillas..the scrambled eggs inside were fluffy, the avocado was freshly cut, and mixed well with the black beans and roasted red peppers and onions. Would definitely order again! read more

I went here with a friend for brunch. The restaurant was busy but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and very attentive without being intrusive. The menu was large with many great options. When we decided to order, the server was great about accommodating our special requests. Our food came out promptly and was fantastic. We will definitely return and I look forward to trying many other menu items! read more

The service here was fine but..... We ordered 2 cinnamon rolls - way too sweet, and old standby (oatmeal), and a waffle platter with eggs and bacon. Old standby was oatmeal- nothing special but not good enough to finish. The biscuit was better than anything but not good enough to come back for. The waffle tasted of old oil, a bitter taste. The waffle was light and fluffy just not good. The eggs and bacon were good, the eggs were a little sweet. Weird... the coffee and tea were not that good. The atmosphere was too bright for my taste and way louder than I like, I couldn't hear my husband on the other side of the table (unless he was almost yelling). Not coming back. Service was not good enough to make a difference. I think what bothers me most was that we took maybe a bite or two out of our food, the server walked by and saw that we didn't eat our food, and still charged us for it. read more

Think typical dinner. Nothing special but not bad either. I came here the first time for breakfast and it was forgettable so much so that I literally forgot I had been here until I walked in for lunch with some friends. Lunch was a little better but again just average. Service is quick, pay at the counter. Staff are kind. read more

This was my first time here and decided to go all out and try three different popular dishes. Our waitress was fantastic and surprised us with a complimentary cinnamon roll. It was warm and oh so gooey! For a Sunday at noon it was busy but we somehow got seated within five minutes of walking through the door. We were in and out within an hour. Super speedy and everything was fresh! If you are looking for a delicious and affordable brunch spot you've found it. read more

The service here was really nice. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was good! I wish there was a little bit more seasoning on things so it wasn't bland. Overall the restaurant was very clean too. I loved how the tables were setup with coffee cups and water upon sitting down. It was a really nice touch. read more

I Love this place. The food is excellent and the Servers are prompt and friendly. Highly recommend Ronnie's.

Food: It was fine. Nothing to rave about. The cinnamon roll was not hot and fresh as described on the menu. Probably won't be back. Service: friendly. Ambiance: mom and pop breakfast spot! Went on a Thursday morning and it was not too crowded, but for some reason it was pretty noisy. read more

Such a nice local spot! We go here often and will always get the same thing! I got the veggie mashup omelet and it was really good and comes with the yellow sauce. The potatoes were good but not as crispy as I would like. Service was great, nice family restaurant! Sometimes it does get really really crowded and waiting times can be long. You pay at the front but you also wait to get seated at the front and it can get confusing as to which people are waiting in line to pay and which are waiting with the crowd. read more

Hidden gem of a breakfast and lunch restaurant. The cinnamon roll was amazing. Grits were solid. Coffee was just what you'd expect. The Southern California omelette was very tasty and the breakfast potatoes my wife had were some of them best we've had. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and had a great experience. They were busy but we still got in within 5 minutes. I was shocked as most brunch places have hour long waits on Sundays. The staff was very nice and friendly. Our waitress asked if it was our first time and gave us a cinnamon roll on the house. The cinnamon roll was soft and warm. It was smothered in icing that was thick and sweet. We also tried the stuffed french toast. This was my favorite of the day. It had a hearty amount of egg and sausage inside and came with a side of syrup to dip or poor. We we also tried the chicken fried chicken. It was good and had a nice tender texture. The biscuit was dry but the gravy made up for it. The gravy was well peppered and had a good amount of sausage in it. We got our eggs scrambled and they were a little bland but on par with other brunch places. The price on all the dishes were on the low side especially compared to the portion size of the meals and the good quality. The overall atmosphere was clean and open. The tables were far apart which was nice. There was a good amount of space for big groups and for one to two people. This would be a great place to bring a book and enjoy some hot coffee. Overall a great experience and we will be returning. read more

What an awesome diner! Super service experience and the food was awesome. I don't know how they do it for the prices that they charge.

1st time. Exceptional service from the time we walked in the door. High quality food. We'll be back.

Looking for a local diner after moving from out of state that's family friendly, has good food, and won't break the bank. This place checks all the boxes! Everyone's super friendly, Ronnie's always around, and they made us feel at home. Going to be our new go to spot! read more

My daughter and I visited this restaurant today for brunch. I had never been here before, but she had and she liked it when she and her husband had visited it. My daughter had a country fried steak breakfast special, which was very reasonable. I had the salmon salad, which was good. The waitress was excellent and very kind as well as the other workers and it had a nice welcoming atmosphere that seemed homey. read more

I LOVED THIS PLACE! We came here for breakfast during a business trip. I would come here every morning if I lived nearby. What an amazing group of people that work here! The vibe was upbeat, friendly and just joyful really! It made me happy for some reason. As we asked the servers about the menu and their recommendations we found them to be so welcoming. They were excited that we were there. Isn't that just awesome! They even insisted on bringing us a cinnamon roll on the house so we could taste it. WOW! It was the best cinnamon roll EVER! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Everything was brought out hot and seasoned perfectly. We enjoyed and devoured everything we tasted. When the bill came, I was delighted to see a Bible verse on the receipt. You don't see that in Cali much! And the prices were so low. I can't wait to come back! I left feeling like, "God blesses America"!, ya know?! read more

First rate breakfast & plenty of room for large groups. My wife calls ahead & they set up for a large group about once a month. The portions are fairly large. I don't think it's possible to walk away from there hungry. They have a lot of staff, all of which are very friendly and efficient. read more
