I went there for dinner…read moreduring a recent camping trip and was blown away by how delicious everything was, and how generous the portion sizing is. The staff were very friendly, and I loved the vibe- a mix of old school and new in an old (but very well maintained) brick building in downtown Weston. My one note about the Cajun chicken sandwich is that the seasoning, while very tasty, is mild in terms of spice. So if you're expecting spice, you'll probably want to add some spicy BBQ sauce or something similar. All in all this place is such a gem, and I recommend it to anyone visiting Weston during a mealtime!

The things I like most about Tay's include: the fries, sriracha ketchup, a fun car for kids meals, and of course the burger with all of the available toppings to choose from. I ordered a single with fries. My wife and I decided that we'll probably share next time. We might even get the slider with fries. My son loved the car his burger was served in. The ladies working were so friendly and worked quickly through the long line to get orders placed. We didn't have any issues finding a table to sit. They have plenty of high chairs and booster seats for kids too.

So the food... that's why we really came here. So many people hyped Tay's Burger Shack up that I think it made me set my expectations really high. I tried the Single Cheeseburger with fries, I will say that I didn't find it very special. My least favorite part was the buns, they didn't seem like they were toasted at all. Just your typical old cheeseburger. The fries were not my favorite. It does make a cute date night and maybe late night snack.

If you're heading to Danny's Burger Shack, just know one thing up front, there might be a wait. But…read moreafter trying both the PB & J Burger and the Sweet Heat Burger... yeah, it's worth it. The PB & J Burger sounds wild on paper, but it absolutely works. The peanut butter brings that rich, savory creaminess, and paired with the jalapeño jelly, it hits this perfect sweet-with-a-kick balance that keeps every bite interesting. It's one of those burgers that makes you stop after the first bite like, "okay... this is legit." The Sweet Heat Burger leans even more into that flavor combo. The sweetness comes through first, then the heat builds, and that jalapeño jelly really ties it all together, adding both sweetness and a subtle spice that doesn't overpower the burger itself. It's bold, messy in the best way, and just really well executed. Neither of these quite cracked my personal #1 burger of all time, but they're not far off. Both were seriously delicious, packed with flavor, and easily worth trying if you're in the area.

All I can say it it was some of the best BBQ that I have ever had. Seriously, you MUST go to Scott's Kitchen! I would give it a 10 out of 10.

Fourth time's the charm... right?…read more I was dragged back to Scott's Kitchen for my fourth visit, and I'll give credit where credit is due: there was finally some actual smoke smell! Progress! I'll also admit that the piece of pulled pork I had was pretty decent. Unfortunately, everything else was pretty much what I expected based on my previous visits. My biggest issue is the price. $18 for three tacos is pretty outrageous, especially when that $18 doesn't include a drink, a side, or anything else. At that price, I expect the BBQ to absolutely knock it out of the park. And that's really my problem with Scott's: I just don't understand the hype. In my opinion, it's not one of the top BBQ places in Kansas City, and at these prices, it needs to be. Here's my BBQ rule: if the BBQ can't stand on its own and be great, then you're a restaurant that serves BBQ--not a great BBQ restaurant. I've now been four times, and I keep hoping I'll finally understand what everyone else seems to see. Still waiting. At this point, I may need to order a fifth time just to make sure I'm not missing something... but my wallet is strongly recommending that I stop the investigation.

Positives - bun was toasted, bacon - cooked well and plentiful. The $6.79 "Beast style" fries were weird. A smallish order with a teaspoon of caramelized onions, 3 canned pickle slices and a drizzle of cheese, mayo, mustard and ketchup. One of the most god-awful concoctions ever. I was impressed that they were ready 1 minute before promised pick-up time. I picked up from the kitchen at the Perkins on N. Oak, although other pick-up / delivery options are located around the city. Would I return? Probably not. A bit pricey, and with so many good or great burger options nearby, I will save some $ and find a place to dine -in.

Whatever I bit into was now at the bottom of my trash can and I wasn't about to dig to find it. When I called the location no one answered and it was an hour until closing. After the experience with the burger, I threw the whole order away. Fortunately, I did not get sick. A complete waste of money and I will never try them again. Buyer beware!

I mean, upper tier sandwich fast food chain or not, it's still a sandwich based fast food chain. So 4/5 stars would require something like way above and beyond... yet i feel a 2 star would require something rather bad happening. And as it stands, nobody here does anything bad, and nobody does anything incredible. So, a solid 3. So where does the .5 come in? Well, my limited experience here as I travel to Ft Leavenworth once per quarter (and this place is near the hotel), has treated me well. The same which itself, like the turkey especially, is just, good! The place is clean and not too busy. Decorated like a normal Jimmy John's. The service is just right.
