Good food and drink. Abominable service and treatment. Other patrons had speaker phone so loud it ruined the experience. Asked for a manager, mentioned the problem. He refused to acknowledge the issue. Did nothing about it. The rudest in recent history. He should be fired. Was trying to have a drink to celebrate my father who just passed away. It was awful. Stay away. read more

Having been here several times, I knew this would be good! We ordered takeout this time, and everything came out exactly right. My husband said the burger was one of the best he's ever had. I ordered the chopped salad with chicken and tried it with the wasabi vinaigrette -- wow, I loved it! Another great experience and proof that their food is just as good for takeout. read more

We were in the area and so glad we had time to stop in before an event. Happy hour choices did not let us down!! All of the food was fantastic. Service was a little slow but got the job done. The layout of the restaurant looks much more appealing in pictures - what an odd lay out in person. The street tacos, spin dip, sliders and French fries were all an excellent choice to share for dinner. Nothing but good flavors and enjoyed them fresh from the kitchen. Will recommend and hopefully be back to try more! read more

The food is always good, in fact Summit has one of the best Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches.. it's hot in flavor, and the aoili is delicious! I ordered my bun to be isolated from the chicken because the oil from the chicken can make it soggy. My order was packaged correctly. The carry out area is pretty odd. Once you go through side door, you wait at counter, there's no indication how anyone knows you're there, you just wait. I didn't wait long though. read more

We went there with another couple on Valentine's Day and it was packed. However, that did not disrupt anything. Our server was great and working so hard to make everything great for his tables he was serving. We ordered our food and it came out in a timely manner. Our friend ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken and he agreed it is one of the best if not the best Chicken Fried Chickens in the city. His girlfriend had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and she loved it. I ordered the Chicken Fingers and they were so good and delicious. My wife ordered a Chicken Salad and said it was outstanding. For all of us it was one of the better dining experiences we have had. The restaurant has a great relaxing ambiance to it it. We highly recommend The Summit Grill in Waldo! read more

Second time we have been to Summit Grill while visiting from out of state. After this visit we have decided this will be a must visit on all our trips to KC. We arrived during happy hour to take advantage of happy hour specials. Rhe Mahi tacos were amazing! Enjoyed those and some drinks at the bar before moving to our table reservation. We chose the pot roast nachos...another amazing dish and then we split the chicken fried chicken. Splitting was plenty of food after having 2 appetizers! The meal was delicious! Highly recommend this place and these appetizers and this entree! A d the Summit Punch was pretty darn good too! read more

Blackened salmon salad was pretty good. It's kind of a bummer that this place doesn't have better service, but they are just always very understaffed. Pretty yummy food and appetizers though. (3.6 stars) read more

Come here often-I usually have a good time. I've only had one poor experience when I came in with a group after our kids basketball game. The waitress charged all of our kids for soda even though only a few ordered it. An auto service fee of 20 or 25% was added which was expected but she fluffed our bill with nonsense. Extra sauce drinks that weren't ordered and to make this worse she didn't check on us and didn't speak to the parents when ordering meals we had to redirect her to us. Then got an attitude when questioned about the auto gratuity-if she was half decent I would've tipped extra but she wasn't. The manager fixed it though and I left her 15%. Other than that one time my service and food has been awesome. The bar can be a little dark to read the menus. But I love the seafood macaroni and the brunch mimosas. read more

We walked in and were greeted with a hostess on the phone and when she was off she took us to our seat. She wasn't rude but not overly pleasant. We sat for 10 min before a server coming to get drink orders. I ordered the blackened mahi tacos off the happy hour menu, fries, and hummus. I was told the tacos came with 3. When they brought the food they brought my husbands, sons, and just my tacos(which only had 2). After waiting 5 min for the waitress to come by I let her know that i only received 2 tacos and none of the other food. She went and checked. When she came back she let us know she just got out of training and misspoke that it should only have 2 tacos. Nothing was done to try and correct the error. I also waited 10 more minutes for the hummus and fries. We have been to the lees summit location and have always been impressed with food and service. This location was a disappointment. read more

Always a great experience! My friend and I came here last week. We had the split pea toast as an appetizer and then the Cobb and Fried chicken salads. Their honey mustard is my new favorite! Yummmmm. When it comes to our particular server, it was not the best. He was just out of training. When we approached the manager about this, she went above and beyond making things right. Comped the entire meal, gave us complimentary wine and then extra entrees to go. She was fabulous and made everything very enjoyable! read more

It's not often that a salad blows you away. However, I can say that the grilled chicken and goat cheese salad at Summit Grill was phenomenal. Not only was this probably the best grilled chicken I have ever tasted, the combination of the warm goat cheese croquettes, strawberries, pears, and candied walnuts put this salad over the top. We also started with a butter board which as phenomenal. I loved the warm bread, and the butter with the hot honey on top was my favorite. I will say service was kind of cold. We were reminded several times when we arrived that the kitchen closed in an hour (and then the restaurant an hour after that.) It came off as being annoyed, even though we ordered and finished our meals before the kitchen closed. read more

I went during restaurant week. There is parking nearby. The staff were friendly and gave us suggestions for the food. The drinks were delicious and came to us quickly. The interior was clean and well decorated. The chicken was tasty and the amount of food was spectacular. I would not recommend the soup but it was a restaurant week special. read more

Great service in a very good atmosphere for socializing. The food was good and the prices reasonable.

We had a fantastic meal at Summit Grill. This meal did not disappoint. He ordered the farmhouse burger served with egg, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, aioli. I orders the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both plates served with shoestring fries...yum! This spot has daily happy hour & brunch on the weekends. The restaurant has upscale and vibey aesthetics. Check out Summit Grill asap! read more

After giving this locations 3 tries, they have officially struck out for good. They are on a progressive decline in all categories. This is location specific as the Lee's Summit location has never had any of these issues. The Summit Grill in KCMO lacks professionalism, ambiance, taste, value and quality service. It appeared our server this evening was plucked from the kitchen and forced onto the service floor due to short staffing which I will admit, I've given grace to them in the past for. However, it's becoming a pattern that as a customer we shouldn't have to suffer the consequences for. Save your money and time and avoid this location! Visit the Lee's Summit one instead, you won't be disappointed there! read more

Service was ok. Food was good. And almost got killed by a car speeding through the crosswalk. So sorry for the awful neighborhood... after this traumatic experience I won't be going anywhere in Waldo. Sorry it's not safe. And this was at 7pm. read more

Service : attentive and kind Drinks: We came in on a Monday night to grab drinks. Apparently Mondays the special is half off wine under $100. Great deal and my friends and I shared one bottle. Ambiance: Definitely a lot more space than the Northland location. It's moody! Gives grown and sexy! I love the beautiful bar. Good place to grab dinner with the girls and a romantic date night. read more

Tried out Sunday morning brunch at Summit Grill last month. It was less busy than we thought and louder than we'd expect given the lack of people. We'd picked this place after seeing it mentioned for excellent bottomless mimosas but should have called to verify as it's no longer a thing. There weren't any vegan brunch options which was a bummer. They were also out of the hummus, so I ordered a side of shoestring fries and the house salad {tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, radishes}. Both were ok but for me didn't justify the cost and trip to the area. Overall, seems like a nice place, but I'm not finding a reason for myself personally to return. read more

The Summit Grill has a really good happy hour, but recently it's seems to be slipping. The food is pretty good, but the restrooms are filthy and what's up with the snooty hostess? She'd be better off at the back of the house. Easy fixes if addressed soon. read more

We came here for our monthly brunch outing. My sister nd additional friend joined us this time. It stormed the night before and we dodged trees to get there. Very nice little place. Busy street and there's construction so that wasn't great but the restaurant couldn't control that. We were seated right away even though we had a reservation. If we didn't have one, we still could have been seated immediately. For drinks, my sister and I had had a carafe of cranberry mimosa, one friend had a belini and the other a mule. The mimosa was delicious once you got to the bottom. It should have been stirred up. The other liked their drinks as well. We ordered the Brie cheese for an app and it was DELICIOUS!! The apples and apricot marmalade was a perfect addition. For meals, I had the Biscuits and Gravy, my sister and the Chicken Biscuits, my Just Brunchin KC buddy had French Toast and our other friend also had Biscuits and Gravy. I also added a side of Smashed potatoes. All the food was good. The Biscuits were fluffy and the cheese eggs were yummy. Those potatoes were the star. So good and crispy but soft. I also ordered the Cornbeef Hash and another chicken Biscuit to go for my son and the hubs. They enjoyed their meals as well. May have to come back for dinner one day. read more

Waldo has plenty of dining competition, so something has to set a place apart. Summit Grill has kind of a niche with its 'American' fare, and they're getting that done pretty darn well. The hook for me is the happy hour, which runs daily from 3-6 (in the bar only) with some great shareables and cocktail offerings. If you are here to dine, then just know you've got a fair range of options. You can get with the turf (pork chop or steak options) or try your palate with some surf, such as Atlantic salmon or my choice, the seafood mac n' cheese, which is pretty good, but we *are* in the Midwest. So yeah, the scallops are bay scallops and the shrimp is like 51-60 sized, but this dish is well-executed and ample in portion size. The Mrs. opted for the Chicken & Goat Cheese salad, with grilled strips and these AMAZING croquettes of goat cheese that are lightly breaded and fried. Those are just the best, and they could make an appetizer out of the croquettes alone - they're that good. Our server, Bri, was so fabulous, making for a great date night. My old-fashioned was pretty on point, joining Four Roses bourbon splashed with just the right amount of sweetness. We added in a Wedge Salad as an 'appetizer' and that's like the only time I get with iceberg lettuce, but this is a sensational melange of flavor. Bleu cheese crumbles, bacon, and diced tomato adorn the wedge and it's scrumptious. Well, for a salad. Great lead-in for dinner, too, and I highly recommend. Parking is, well, Waldo, so do what you can. Happy hour is a total winner, with plenty of local hooch represented (Tom's Town, anyone?) and great specialty drinks. It's not quite five-star but it's north of four and Yelp doesn't do halfsies, unfortunately. Just know you can expect good fare in a nice place with great service, and stars schmars - give Summit Grill a try. read more

The food and ambiance were great. For some reason we had mediocre service on a Monday night. The restaurant was not busy at all and the young woman waiting on us rarely even check on us. I had to walk to the bar to get drinks and she did not bring us water like we asked. She finally brought us some water when we asked after being there about an 1 1/2. She probably only checked on us about 3 times in 3 hours. We only got an appetizer because she waited so long to check on us. The entire time we were at the restaurant there were about 6-8 tables and we seen the other wait staff coming and going. Not sure what occurred with our waitress. read more

I can't believe after all these years I've never reviewed Summit Grill! They've been around for a while now and I feel it's safe to say this is a solid four star establishment. When you walk in, you'll be greeted warmly by the staff and enjoy an upscale dining experience. It's not super fancy, but in my opinion it's the kind of place that feels nice enough to take your parents if they want to have dinner with you and you don't want to pay the price tag of a steakhouse. I've been for brunch, lunch, and dinner, and I feel like consistently the food here is great. On my last visit I had a salad that came with grilled chicken and fried goat cheese. The goat cheese was heavenly and the chicken was pretty average. Overall it was a tasty salad but nothing I'd likely return specifically for. My colleague told me that they have the best chicken fried steak in town though and loved every bite of her meal so if you venture here you might make that part of your journey. Overall, I don't have many complaints, it's a very solid restaurant, and you'll likely leave happily full. read more

Grabbed Mother's Day brunch at Summit Grill. I made a reservation because we had a large group, but it was not nearly as crowded as I thought it might be. We ordered a variety of options from the menu and all of the food was good. I got the prime rib dip and my husband got the quiche - both were very good. Service was just OK. There was some spilling of water, slow food delivery, needed water and it wasn't refilled. I think I'll stick to the Gladstone location in the future. read more

Thursday May 7th about 5:15pm I decided to stop by Summit Grill (Waldo) to have their Chicken Fried Chicken. Which is usually amazing by the way. On this particular day I went in after work. There were maybe 20 people at the most, so the restaurant was not packed or busy at all. I walk to the hostess stand where I had to get the hostess attention as she was leaning over the podium on her phone, while also wearing a bonnet on her head. I asked for a window seat, and she sat me down and told me someone would be right with me. That never happened. I sat at the table for 17 minutes while a table that already had maybe 2 guests but were waiting on several others were greeted by their server and brought out waters, and after about 10 minutes 4 other guest were sat right next to me and were immediately brought out waters. I had yet to be even acknowledged. No offering of water, no hello someone will be over soon, absolutely nothing. So, after the table next to me were brought out glasses of wine I decided to ask the hostess if she could send over a manager. Once this request was made a server immediately appeared, as if they were waiting for me to ask. The server of course asks if I would like some water and if I wanted to order. I order a drink from the bar and immediately ordered my food. Chicken fried chicken with spinach instead of the vegetable medley. My food came out immediately, as if it was already prepared and maybe someone changed their mind. Even before the water and the drink from the bar was brought out. Of course, the food was not hot, as well as the bottom of the plate was covered in a red substance. Nothing on my plate was red, and I had never seen this any other time I had ordered this exact dish, so I was quite confused. And of course, a manager never came. There was no apology for the wait no sense of urgency So, I exited the establishment. This was a very blah experience that left a very bad taste in my mouth. I typically love Summit as my friends, coworkers and I come often for Lemon drops, however this experience I think has deterred me from returning, at least to this location. read more

Summit Grill - Breakfast Tacos - Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Stop by this morning for brunch. The wait was short, the staff was attentive and parking was easy. I ordered the breakfast tacos 3/5. The Mrs ordered an omelet veggies style 3/5 and we shared some brioche French toast 3/5. The Tacos were missing a flavor bang compared to the past, The tacos were heavy on the egg and light on the meat, the veggies in the taco did not scream strong fresh flavor and the extra salsa was a little weak although the breakfast potatoes were great crisp, and fluffy. The French toast was a little soggy (undercooked) in the middle on a couple of slices but the flavor profile was good and it had a reasonable texture. The syrup was good as well as the sausage that comes with the french toast, while the Mrs did not care for the strawberries that came ( taste funny) with the French Toast. The portions were more than fair and left with to-go box's. If you have never tried Summit Grill for Brunch you should stop in. read more

Let me say the food was amazing. But I was irritated when my party of 5 arrived and the hostesses (there were 3 of them and I'm not sure why) informed us we did not have a reservation. I pulled up the email on my phone to show them and then the hostesses were like ok we can seat you. Now the place was not packed yet they sat us at a table by the door during the bitter cold weather. Our waiter was very busy but did the best he could. I'm not sure I will be coming back to this location. read more

In front - the fall 2023 seasonal Shrimp Campanelle pasta. The fried sage works so well with every other component of this dish - so balanced and makes you want it over and over again! Middle - the Gota de Arena Tempranillo (do not pass this one up even though it is technically the most affordable red - it is divine. If you like a red that starts with a punchy bite and ends on a smooth note - it is for you (also went well with seafood as well as cheese and meat!) In back - "The Ultimate" Grilled Cheese paired with their hand cut fries. CHEESE TO THE MAX. Thank you for a wonderful first experience Summit - until the very soon next time!

Never would I have thought I would be leaving an unpleasant review for Summit Grill. For starters, we got there & was immediately seated (that was good)... but after being seated, it took over 20 minutes for us to get a waiter assigned to our table. We got drinks our drinks late & by this time we were already a tad annoyed. When our food finally came out, the salmon was raw, my sisters steak was super pink & she asked for well done & my chicken felt like I was actually eating the chicken. My sisters drink was strong , the place was clean & our waiter was nice .. that's why they get 3 stars. Other than that, I probably won't visit this location again for dinner. read more

This restaurant is a big yes. Finally a chance to leave a positive review. The service was very good. The restaurant is relaxed and comfortable. Every dish served us received a positive review by everyone. This is one restaurant where it is hard to go wrong. The only thing I would change is to add signage above the front door. There is space for it and would be a welcoming sight for those visiting the restaurant. read more

I was visiting Kansas City for the weekend and my friend who lives here suggested we meet up at this restaurant for dinner. It was not anything overly special, the service was fine along with the food. Moderately to higher priced. We each got a salad. I was not a fan of the greens used, but it was a decent size with good flavor. We had grilled chicken and goat cheese, salad, and salmon salad. read more
