    It was definitely a lot louder than the one that was, but it was a Saturday night so I guess just something to deal with The whipped goat cheese and bread was amazing. The bread had a certain crunchiness that you would expect, and the goat cheese whipped with very unique flavor. The burger was outstanding, and although the order medium, it was almost like a medium rare I was a little bit, disappointed the duck, because although the flavor was good, it could've been a little bit more sumptuous. The presentation was excellent. Overall, a great place and I look forward to coming back and trying other things

    We ate at Rye tonight, a Tuesday night. This was my second time and again I chose the patio because of the noise level inside the restaurant. I was excited to learn that they are going to open up a small coffee/bake shop next to the restaurant soon. This time our party shared a couple order of cheese curds for an appetizer and then I had the cheesy grits. For dessert, I had them warm up a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie, and the others in the party tried fried chicken and the lemon meringue pie. Sides we added to the table were brussels sprouts and pommes anna. In hindsight, we should've got the mashed potatoes to use the ham gravy . The cheesy grits were a big hit. Besides the shrimp, the serving of pork was substantial and delicious. The fried chicken was well prepared and moist. I've been eating a lot of spicy chicken and would've preferred a little more seasoning, but it was solid. Feedback on the brussels sprouts was mixed. The pommes anna was a classic presentation. Those who had not had it before wished it had more of a cheesy sauce, but it was many layered and good. Everyone loved the desserts. And this is just a comment because I'm sure they would've accommodated if I asked, but Rye did not have salt and pepper shakers on the table. Service was fine.

    An awesome chopped wedge salad. The salad was delicious, and the kitchen was not skimpy on the ingredients.

    I met a friend for happy hour. The Wedge Salad was excellent! Steve, the Bartender, was fantastic and could make an awesome Vesper. As for the other bartenders and servers on 1/21/26, I didn't feel welcomed. I asked for a water refill, and the server with the red hair returned, slammed down a "jar" of water, and left my glass unfilled. This was after I asked a couple of other servers for a refill, but they ignored me. I WILL return; however, all patrons should be treated the same, no matter how crowded or busy the restaurant is.

    I've been to Rye many times and their food is good, but the service and ambiance was subpar during my recent visit. The Leawood location had always made me feel out of place unless I have a reservation, but I went during happy hour/a slow time of day, so I don't understand why they push so hard for a reservation or make me feel uncomfortable if I don't have one. There were a ton of empty tables and I was seated quickly...the food was good but our server hardly greeted us or checked on us. The happy hour menu had a lot of good drink and food options so that was nice. I guess I'd suggest Rye for breakfast or dinner, as long as you have a reservation.

    Rye Leawood is fantastic! I got here a little before my party and got a table on the massive patio. The weather and the view were perfect for an evening outside. We put our order in and quickly had some drinks on the table. I started with an order of fried cheese curds. They were fantastic! The seasoning was spot on, the batter was nice and light, and the cheese tasted fresh. I followed that up with a Daily Grind Burger. It was meatier than I was expecting, but was cooked beautifully. The bun was light and fresh and the toppings were all delicious. I was so happily full afterwards! The only thing I would say wasn't perfect was the service. Our server was pretty inattentive. Maybe they were just understaffed, so I'll let it slide and see how they do next time. Great food, decent service, great patio.

    First time for me in a fancy $$$ restaurant. Table of 7. I was curious and equally excit I'd say the experience was kinda mixed. I have to start with the staff at Rye Leawood. Olivia was great in explaining different entree items and giving suggestions. I wish the table was a little bigger to accommodate all the plates. It is compact & cramped. Something that the management needs to take a look at. About food, we ordered appetizers (Whipped goat cheese & Crispy chicken livers n gizzards) for the table. I got Filet mignon steak that came with a salad or soup & a side (Grilled Maitake mushrooms). Filet mignon was okay imo. Wish I would've had ribeye Appetizers - 4.5/5 Main course - 3/5 Side & salad - 5/5

    Cinnamon Roll

    Stopped in for breakfast right when they opened and got seated right away -- perfect timing, because the place filled up fast for a Sunday morning. The famous rye cinnamon roll (HUGE FYI) absolutely lived up to its reputation... warm, soft, and perfectly spiced. Service was great too; our drinks were always topped off and food came out quickly. Cozy, friendly spot that's definitely worth the stop.

    Popped in for happy hour recently. The happy hour drink specials were nicely priced. Not a lot of food specials. The best happy hour deal is a slice of pie for $5. I had the Dutch apple. Thinly sliced apples with caramel sauce and homemade whipped cream. It was served warm. The crust was so buttery and flaky. So good. Disappointed in lack of vegetarian and gf options. Ordered the wedge salad no bacon it was delicious and the crab ravioli with sweet potatoe puree. It was meh. Couldn't really taste or even see the crab. The sweet potatoe puree over powered all the other flavors. My friend had the chicken livers and she loves them. Stephan was our server. He was great. While I was underwhelmed with my meal the service and vibe were inviting. I'd def go back for the pie.

    Rye is known for their southern style and especially their fried chicken. Located in the mission farms leawood area. The clientele resembles the area and we went on a Friday night and it was extremely loud. We had no issues getting a table and got great service. Our waitress was great. The drinks were a little slow coming out though. I got an order of the sashito peppers, fried chicken, and bacon Mac and cheese. The fried chicken was delicious and is one of the best fried chicken I have ever had. If you are looking for great fried chicken in the Kansas City area this is a great option.

    Blueberry Streusel Pie
    Brett A.

    Rye's service and food live up to their reputation, but there were some rocky spots....keep reading. I dropped in at the Rye Leawood location, after a poor meal/service at another "popular" restaurant in Shawnee, Kansas. Check my profile for that 1 star review. This should have been my first pick of the night. Justin, the manager, sat me at a quiet table on a busy(ish) evening. It took longer than expected, but Michael the bartender/waiter came to the table with menus and water. Both were warm and friendly. I ordered the Blackened Koji chop and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The meat was moist, probably from a salt/sugar brine, tasty and not overly salty. It was delicious. I wanted dessert and ate only half the chop and asked Michael to box it up. Then I ordered the Blueberry streusel pie. He brought back my leftovers in a nice container and said the pie was on the way. I had to visit the bathroom and came back to an empty table. What? Justin the manager was nearby and I pulled him aside and said my leftovers were missing, I was still waiting for dessert, and I didn't even have anything to drink. He didn't skip a beat, apologized and said he would take care of me. Justin talked to Michael, and here's what happened next. Michael apologized and brought me new drinks, said the kitchen was making a whole new Koji chop for me to take home, brought my pie out, and all was good. When I went to pay, Justin said they were comping my dessert and apologized again. WOW. These two guys treated me like I was a CEO, made things right, and in the end earned my respect. I can't say enough good things about Rye Leawood, Michael, and Justin. Those guys deserve raises for their excellent service. Thank you.

    Lemon Meringue Pie
    Allison R.

    This is a great place to come with a group of friends/family. But I decided to treat myself to a solo dinner. I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and friendly. I ordered the grilled hanger steak cooked medium rare. It was cooked perfectly. And of course can't go to Rye without ordering dessert. The Lemon meringue pie is the best lemon dessert.

The cozy, warm ambiance of the place makes it feel like the ideal place to unwind. I started with a wine flight that included a white, Moscato, and a sweet red. While they were a bit on the dry side for my super-sweet wine preferences, they were still enjoyable. The mulled cider, however, was the real star--absolutely delicious! We also ordered some snacks to share: a pepperoni flatbread and a charcuterie board. They arrived fresh and fast, and the server took the time to explain each item on the board, making the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was top-notch and super tasty. What really stood out was the friendly, knowledgeable staff, who made sure we had everything we needed. There's also a big patio that's perfect for summer months, offering a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors with a glass of your favorite drink. Plates and water were readily available for self-service, which was a nice touch. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area--such a great spot with the perfect combination of warmth, good food, and great drinks!

Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch.

The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.
