The service was great, really nice people, seemed to be a family owned business. The decor was quite dated, felt like I stepped back into the 90s. I went around lunch time and it was very busy. I got the patty melt and it was not very good. It was dry and almost tasteless, and their fries were about average or a bit below. Their sandwiches looked good, so if I do go back I might go with a club. read more

Hidden gem located right next to the Kansas City Convention Center! Got the Chicken Melt and Fruit this time. The bread of the Chicken Melt was perfectly buttered & toasted; the chicken salad filling was decent, nothing special. Fruit was fresh & refreshing. Last year, when I came for a conference, I believe I got a Patty Melt, which was tasty. Prices are so affordable, it's kind of crazy in this day and age. Service is fast. Ambiance is fine: it's a diner. 7/10 would recommend for the unbeatable prices & convenient location! I don't think this is a spot you should go out of your way to come to, but when you're looking for food options near the convention center, this seems like a good one. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Ham and cheese and Side Of Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Cafe with cafeteria vibes? Strange but understandable in a downtown location where many might seek to solve the lunchtime time crunch with something simple. For what you get, the price is alarming - $5 worth of tater tots amounts to roughly 15 tots. We paid $30 for two sandwiches, one fruit cup, 15-ish tots and two fountain sodas. No chips, no pickles, nothing fancy. That said, the sandwich itself was solid. We both got the same sandwich because it was what sounded best. Note that the menu is hour-blocked, you can't get "breakfast" items after sometime after 10am and before 11am, it switches to lunch only. Given the small number of breakfast items even available, this was a bit surprising. A solid lunch option but I agree with the person who was walking in as we were walking out, telling his lunchtime companions, "I've really got to start bringing lunch from home. $15 for a ham sandwich is kind of silly." read more

What is this place? I wouldn't quite call it a restaurant nor a convenience store, although I think they're probably going for both. We asked if they buy their bread or croissants used for breakfast locally, like from a real bakery, but they were honest by responding all that was bought in bulk at Sam's Club. The food was as expected for being pre-frozen, pre-packaged crap: bad! The biscuits, although I'm sure were frozen before they microwaved them, still felt and tasted raw. Gravy was out of a package: just add water. The croissant sandwich was squished and probably bought that way by the owners, simply to just microwave them for service. The sausage was, well.....you get the theme. The only positive was that my over easy eggs were cooked perfect and the company I was with. The eggs just needed some hot sauce and ketchup for flavoring. For the area, I'm wondering why they haven't stepped up their food game, or gotten out of the way! read more

just don't go. Prices advertised on the site are wrong. It's actually double in store, charged me $14 for three eggs, two sausage patties, and one mini biscuit. Absolute rip off. Mediocre frozen food at best. I should've just took a muffin and banana before I left just to make it worth it. read more

Fantastic service! I came for the free wi-fi and a snack :) We were staying at the Marriott across the street and I was tired of salty hotel food that didn't feel healthy. The ladies who work here are mighty friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my Veggie Wrap, French Fries and Naked Juice. Free wi-fi was for dessert and I pretty much camped out for an afternoon of web surfing. Love the name of the place, makes me want to sing the theme song of the TV show, "Silver Spoons." read more

If you're staying near the convention center and looking for a place to grab a quick breakfast/lunch, I would recommend this place. Great location (if you're here for convention) with good food with reasonable price. I ordered bacon cheeseburger and it was surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting anything from this place because it was so random but the patty was delicious and the bacon was well-cooked - not crispy but not too soft either which is perfect for burger. It was $4.95 and if you want sides it's $2 each. Wish it was like a dollar more expensive but comes with fries. The buns look sad but they're actually really tasty, I was surprised. They also habe breakfast menus and salads. Giving them 5 starsbecause of the reasonable price with pretty good food and there's no significant reason to take off stars. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Bacon Cheeseburger (half-eaten :(( ) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Friendly and fast service. Lots of basic breakfast choices. Everything hot, made to order. Our group had omelet, breakfast sandwich, French toast, biscuits and gravy. Everyone liked it. Basic diner food but filled us up for a good price. Easy to grab from nearby hotel. read more

I used to eat at their grand location until it was closed for construction. I now walk 5 blocks out of my way to come here because the food is good and It is a great value. I have only done breakfast here. They have great cinnamon toast. read more

This location made my tummy happy. We had an early flight to Kansas City and decided to check this place out after a nice stranger suggested it. We walked against freezing temperatures, ankles numb and noses runny. We followed the wonderful smells of bacon and eventually reached the Silver Spoon. We were rewarded with great food and shelter from the cold. The prices were great for the quality sandwich I received. The bacon was cooked to perfection and the bagel was toasted just the way I like it. The coffee selection could have been better. The coffee didn't really have much taste. The location is convenient if you're staying in the area. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I've discovered this spot for a few years now due to working downtown. It's very easy to overlook, but thankfully some co-workers showed me. I've had their breakfast and lunch here numerous time since it's a short walk for me from my job. I think their food is honestly the best bang for your buck within my proximity anyways. Also, the prices are very cheap compared to other establishments downtown. It can get a little busy during peak hours though. The staff are extremely friendly! I haven't had a bad time here yet to be honest. I used to always get their special on Wednesday's "Angel Pasta" and it was delicious. Also, there menu on their website is outdated so don't rely on that! read more

I wanted to give Silver Spoon another review since I have now eaten here several times for breakfast and lunch. I stopped by this morning on the way to work and picked up the Breakfast Special of eggs, 4 pieces of toast and sausage for $3.65 which was ready and in my hands in 3 minutes. The prices are simply amazing and the food is always good. The last item I had for lunch was the Bacon Cheeseburger lunch special which was cooked well and tasted great. The bacon was crisp, burger and fries were good and once again it was FAST. The soups are good and the chili was warm on a cold day although it could use a little more spice for my taste. This is a small locally owned 'diner' with good food, great prices and fast service. If you work Downtown Kansas City, MO there is no place around with a better breakfast and lunch is pretty good to :) read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - the entrance to the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is a nice and completely convenient little cafe in the Trader's On Grand building downtown. I love the super cheap Sunrise Special breakfast, two eggs, bacon and toast for $4 and the completely reasonable $5.25 specials during the week. Plenty of yummy dineresque dishes are available at good prices. Space is at a little bit of a premium especially when they're getting a rush and sometimes it's not the cleanest. It's not dirty by any means, but sometimes when busy the staff won't be able to wipe your table down right away. It's not a big deal for me, but I want to throw it out there in case is a big deal for any of you. If you work in the area (like I do) and you need a nice quick bite to eat, the Silver Spoon is a good place to be. read more

this is a nice deli/diner with affordable prices and VERY nice service. the lunch is enough to fill you up and the food tastes great, atmosphere isn't what I would prefer but its decent. Again, very nice people here. read more

This place is ok. Nothing great about it it's just ok. Service is quick, but not overly friendly. Everything is a la carte, which feels strange. This place reminds me of a gas station restaurant out in the country more so than a diner in the middle of downtown. Omelet was decent but the setup was hard to get over. No fresh juice, all drinks come out of a cooler. And to top it off you get to eat out of a styrofoam container if you dine in. read more

I love the Silver Spoon. All the food is wonderful. Breakfast is our favorite but the burgers at lunch are great. There is always plenty of food. read more

Person serving the counter didn't acknowledge us until we stepped right to the counter to order, was hoping for breakfast at 10:30 but was told "it's lunch. We don't serve breakfast now." So while scrambling to order, she pulled out her phone and answered a text right there without suggesting items. She was incredibly rude to everyone who came in and we will not be back again read more

We are in from out of town nice quiet spot prices are reasonable food is great got to come here to get something to eat read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Steak omelette with hashbrowns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I have been travelling to KC lately and staying at the Marriott downtown across from the convention center. I was looking for a good breakfast spot that was quick, easy, reasonable and good food. I hit the jackpot with the Silver Spoon. It's a great mix between diner food and home made. Great specials and the pancakes and french toast are awesome. I have done lunch once and it was good but this is definitely my go-to spot for breakfast when I am in town. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe has a very traditional diner feel, but without some of the staples, like the bar/counter seats, table service and a sassy waitress walking around with a coffee pot. Anyways, you walk up to the counter (which has a variety of desserts and treats) to place your order and pay, grab a table, and wait for your name to be called out. Their menu is mostly sandwiches, and burgers, with some other specials (the special that day was a cajun-spinach pasta). Breakfast looked good, but I missed by a few minutes since they cut off at 10:30). I thought the prices were reasonable considering the area, and the food was ok. I was hoping the sandwich I had would be awesome, and that I had found a hidden gem that was very unassuming but had great simple food. The sandwich, and I would consider stopping by if I was hungry and didn't want to walk do to the KCP&L are to get better food. read more

Certainly the most 'meh' dining experience I had during my visit to Kansas City, at least the Silver Spoon was also the least expensive-- so all in all not completely terrible. The breakfast menu here is pretty basic and extremely cheap: a western omelette for $3.50?? I thought it must have been a typo! Nope; the prices really are that low-- but they're also a la carte, so if you want potatoes and toast to go with an omelette, for example, the price goes up a couple of bucks. Still, I got a meal here with (crappy) coffee for about $6 total. This place reminded me more of a public school cafeteria than a diner or "cafe". Queue up at the register to place your order and pay, and after a few minutes they'll call out your name to let you know the order is ready to pick up. Everything is served in cheap styrofoam clamshells with plastic utensils. Honestly, I thought the Silver Spoon Cafe was a step down from breakfast at McDonald's. Then again, it was convenient for where I was staying, and dirt cheap. read more

We were staying at the Hotel Philips and walked down to this little cafe our final morning in KC. The biscuits and gravy were wonderful, though if you don't like your gravy peppery, you might skip it. The sausage was fantastic, and I wish I had ordered more. Not only was the food spot on, but the price literally cannot be beat. They could easily double what they charge, considering the location. If you're looking for a great breakfast or a quick lunch, don't hesitate. read more

I tried this spot for a quick lunch hoping to avoid boring convention center food- unfortunately this was not any better. The menu is simple and it is a diner-type place, but for the price I expected something more. I ordered the tuna melt (no sides) and got a small sandwich on plain white bread and mayo-heavy tuna salad for about $10. My friend ordered the quiche of the day ($7.50) and it was about 4 bites of quiche. For that price, I would expect a larger portion, or at least a nicer dining environment. It is possible to do greasy diner food well, but silver spoon misses the mark. If you're in the area, I'd recommend going anywhere else. read more

We were in town for a conference at the convention center when we stumbled across this cafe! The food was so good and it was very inexpensive. I would have given it 5 stars had the customer service been better. The girl at the counter was very rude and acted annoyed. The second time I went in I decided to ask her what was wrong and she said it was more crowded than usual and it was just her working the register. I get that, but your cafe is steps from a convention center. Maybe they should stay up to date on the events happening there and make sure they have enough staff to accommodate a crowd. Overall, the food was worth the rudeness. I'd go back again! read more

Weird set up of the restaurant... order in one place that you can not see drink options... saw few people paying two different purchases because they didn't see the option on the menu or around the area you take an order... omelet was an egg burrito... instead the ingredients be with the omelet they put inside... poor quality. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Well, the ladies at the counter were mighty friendly, but unfortunately you can't blend up friendly and use it to inject some flavor into an otherwise bland lunch. This spot is doubtlessly convenient for folks that work in the building or right near it, but with so many tasty options in the surrounding blocks, it seems like such a waste of a lunch opportunity to spend it here. In another life, there was a Silver Spoon in the building I worked in near Union Station. It wasn't great, but there were a few menu items I identified as favorites and the staff knew me by name. I'm guessing that is the compelling case for this place. As another review said, it is exactly like school lunch. It is a long counter and some motherly lunch ladies serving up today's special and some ala carte selections. My visit was during the KC Veg-head challenge, so I went right for the veggie wrap. Perhaps this isn't a fair representation of the place, but it was uninspiring at best. They took some random raw vegetables, seemingly right off the salad bar, slapped them in a poorly-wrapped tortilla and then put a slop of ill-matching honey mustard on one end. When people feel pity on vegetarians, this is the bland culinary afterthought they think of. Oh, and the lentil soup had ham in it. It wasn't billed as ham and lentil soup. I suppose this is some ammunition for detractors of KC's veggie options. We put meat in stuff without even thinking about it, and despite ordering a veggie wrap, the staff didn't mention that the soup I ordered with it contained meat. Lentils are a magical thing, and this was unholy. I might forgive this if it was cheap, but it wasn't. If I would have assembled the same ingredients at a salad bar, it probably would have been a couple of dollars. Poorly wrapped up in this tortilla, it was $5, and adding the soup made it over $8. Do yourself a favor and keep on walking to one of the other amazing options within a few blocks. read more

Good little breakfast spot near the convention center. Food is cheap, and prepared very fast! Decor is nothing special - quality and speed are Silver Spoon's strong point as a greasy spoon breakfast spot. By the time I filled my cup of coffee - my bacon egg and cheese sandwich was ready. Extra point for having it on a warm biscuit. Unfortunately, due to the incoming storm, they were not open to go back again this morning. I'd really have liked to try something else, which would have earned them a 5 star review. read more

Good cheap breakfast. Only open on weekdays though. If you are in town for a convention and are looking for a place to eat lunch or breakfast, and want to get in and out, this is the place. Just don't expect to hit this place on the weekends. The owners really should check the convention calendar and stay open on weekends when a big convention is in town. We had 5k people in town for our convention, and were often looking for quick eats on the weekend. This place would have been packed since it was right by the convention center. We did enjoy breakfast here 2 mornings during the week. It was cheap and good. read more

They are fast, and the food is good. And the food is inexpensive, too, which makes this a great breakfast or lunch spot if you're nearby. I had a veggie omelet (twice!), and a turkey sandwich on rye. Both were delicious, and prepared by the time I had my drink ready. read more

I was standing in line waiting to order, when the Man in the back helping preparing the food began eating the food (fries&chicken strips) out the pan with NO GLOVES ON a band-aid on his finger. gross!!!! another worker was sitting down also where the food was being prepared eating food out of a bowl with gloves on that she made peoples food with PLEASE DONT EAT HERE read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This place is an incredibly convenient walk from the convention hotels. I was part of an invasion of a rather large group, and I was impressed with how quickly the staff rang people up and processed orders. I had the three-cheese omelette and it was ready in about 5 minutes. It was perfectly cooked through with a tasty mix of cheeses. Everything was served up in Styrofoam boxes--convenient to take it to go! Everything on the menu is reasonably-priced, and I confess, my expectations were low because of that, so it was nice to discover the quality was basic but good. read more

I was staying at the Marriott across the street and was looking for a quality breakfast place downtown. This came up as a highly rated breakfast place nearby. The food here is ok, comparable to a hospital cafeteria. My biggest complaint is they have a low quality generic brand ketchup and not Heinz. I got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and chocolate chip pancakes. Both were ok. If you're looking for a good breakfast, I suggest looking elsewhere downtown. This wasn't that great. read more

Loading in a show at the Music hall. Hungry for breakfast so looking on yelp. This place is across from bus stop on corner of 11th & Wyndot. Everything is in Togo containers so that was easy. I guess they get busy so they take your name and your order. They are by the convention center area. I had biscuits n gravy with two eggs on top.. Nice fresh moist biscuits with piping hot pepper gravy (cooking hot). But a little spicey was so tasty and it stayed hot to the last bite! I had to have carrot cake to go but had to taste it and omg...the best I think I've ever had. The sour cream frosting was not overly sweet, perfect. I'll have that later. Hubby had the special breakfast eggs, with potatoes and bacon. Was good but he was disappointed that the Heinz ketchup dispenser had funky (not Heinz) ketchup in it ha ha. He would have taken the packets Ya know?? But then we sitting there and I mentioned that review with the the roast beef n turkey Sammy .. So he ordered that for later ( and a chocolate chip cookie). Well of course we had to test them both. Only half Sammy left! That was the best sandwich we just could'nt put it down!! The toasted bread to meat to fixings ratio is spot on! So folks basically we think everything would be good here. And the prices are very reasonable. So just try something...your taste buds will thank you!! Opened mon- fri only. read more

Silver Spoon Cafe - Convenient to local hotels. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

If you are in Kansas City for a conference and need a place to eat near the convention center this is the place to go. The staff is friendly, there are a lot of food options (anywhere from a salad bar to warm sandwiches). The downside is that the place seems to get overwhelmed quickly and there can be Ling wait times/ orders getting put in out of order. The price is what gives this place a higher rating, in any other market I would give this a 3. Stop here and avoid the convention center cafe. read more
