Pokesan - Poke Bowls, Dumplings & More

Really loved this establishment!  Went mid saturday after a local event, so it was really quiet and definitely would go again.  The bowl was prepared quickly and was very good.  Really liked the atmosphere in the restaurant, even though there are some good stairs to get up to the restaurant!

Had a great experience at PokéSan! The staff were super friendly and the food was really delicious!  This second floor location is easy to access from the street and has a great atmosphere. Makes a cozy spot to chill and have food and drinks. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and it was cooked well and had good flavor. I’d recommend trying if you haven’t gone!

Positives: fair price, fair size (medium bowl pictured), good range of toppings, fast service, and neat upstairs dining area. The raw salmon and tuna were both a bit overly blanched/cooked, but there shouldn't be high expectations for saltwater fish in KCMO.

Very cute little poke spot. The quality was something of the freshest and best I've had outside Hawaii.

Generous portion, quality selection, and the inside was a lot cuter than it looks outside.

The type of Build-a-Bowl place that deserves to stay right where it's at serving up deliciousness in every meal. Not often a new trend comes to the Metroplex that takes off like a bowl of Poke, especially when you get to build it yourself and make it different every time. The Staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is on point with the view and the chill/comfy style of the dining room. I choose a Medium build-a-bowl with Vietnamese Iced coffee which is pretty awesome to watch. Just south of P&L, so it's a great stop when you're finishing up or starting there. Come by with a date, a group, or even yourself, just come hungry

The Cheesecake Factory

I have been here several times and it is always great! They menu features a variety of food, including pasta, burgers, fish, and more. They serve complimentary sourdough and brown bread to each table as an appetizer, and between that and the size of the meals, you can easily bring home leftovers for a second meal. True to the name, there are  dozens of types of cheesecake available. I recommend the Oreo Dream Extreme cheesecake, it is very rich with chocolate.

It's been a minute or two(maybe 15 yrs?) since visiting the Plaza Cheesecake Factory location, and we were glad we made the jump to revisit.
Parking at the top of the garage always gives you a nice view of the Plaza in KC, and during Christmas time, that view can't be beat.
Our reserved table was ready right on time, and on this Monday night, the place was full.
Samantha served us right away, and her  knowledge of the menu was quite apparent.
Our drinks and apps appeared like magic and the fried cheese was banging tasty.
Our dinners were huge and delicious.
The cheesecake I'm afraid had to be boxed up as the dinners and drinks left no room in our bellies.
Thank you, Cheesecake Factory, for being just as we remembered, and next time, we will absolutely not wait as long between visits.
Great service, atmosphere, and food. Well done indeed!

Quick seating for a Saturday afternoon. You get unlimited bread and butter. Bread was fresh and warm. Had the Smokehouse BBQ burger with a side of fries and a salad. I didn't realize a side salad was $7.99. Definitely higher than expected. That burger was cooked perfectly at medium well done. Seasoned just right. Took home a pineapple upside down cheesecake and it was rich. Enjoyed it for 3 nights. Got a bananas one for my Dad and he loved it.

My recent visit to The Cheesecake Factory left me thoroughly impressed and craving for more. The restaurant's inviting ambiance coupled with its expansive menu made for an unforgettable dining experience.

Having heard rave reviews about their burgers, I decided to opt for the Smokehouse BBQ Burger, and it turned out to be a decision I'll cherish. The moment the plate arrived, the mouthwatering aroma of the burger filled the air. The juicy patty, topped with smoky barbecue sauce, crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and crispy onion strings, was a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. Each bite was a perfect balance of sweetness, smokiness, and savory goodness. The accompanying seasoned fries added a delightful crunch to the meal.

Equally enchanting was the Oreo Cheesecake that my wife ordered. The presentation alone was a feast for the eyes, and the taste was nothing short of heavenly. The velvety cheesecake adorned with layers of Oreo crumbles was a delightful fusion of rich creaminess and the beloved cookie's chocolaty crunch. Each forkful was met with nods of approval and appreciative murmurs from our table.

What truly stood out, apart from the delectable food, was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that every aspect of my dining experience was top-notch.

While The Cheesecake Factory might lean towards the pricier side, the quality and portion sizes more than justify the cost. It's an ideal spot for special occasions, celebrations, or simply when you're in the mood to pamper your taste buds.

In conclusion, The Cheesecake Factory not only lives up to its reputation but exceeds it. With an array of mouthwatering dishes, charming ambiance, and outstanding service, it's a culinary destination that guarantees a memorable and delicious escapade. Whether you're a burger enthusiast, a cheesecake lover, or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, this restaurant truly delivers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Cheesecake Factory, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The extensive menu offers something for everyone, and the food was not just delicious but also beautifully presented.

The standout, of course, is their mouthwatering cheesecakes, and they did not disappoint. The dessert selection is to die for! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the service was impeccable.

I cannot recommend The Cheesecake Factory enough. It's the perfect spot for a special night out or just a casual meal. I'll be back for sure!

Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

I love, love, love this Papa Murphy's location. They know I'm a regular. They're cordial. They're fast and friendly. My daughter doesn't like any other pizza. Tryst me. I've tried almost every pizza place in the city

I order from this location every couple months or so. NEVER had a bad experience.  Everyone always seems friendly and kind.  Today I ordered a pizza online at 11:30AM for a 3:30PM pickup.  I had an emergency A/C issue at home and had to be here for the technician.  I called the store at 3:15PM and said I'd be an hour late and if they could keep the pizza in a cooler rather than the speed rack where to-go orders are ready for pickup are kept.  As small a request as that was I appreciated the kindness on the phone and when I went to pick up the order... an additional 30 mins later than expected.  Your employees are great!!   Thank you Papa Murphy's!

Super nice staff and very fresh ingredients on the pizza. Papa's Favorite or the Murphy Combo are very good pizzas to choose from as well. State Line Store Rocks !!!

Def not open when thay say they are. Ride when asked about it.  Just pay the $ and get Marcos or something

I don’t get pizza that often so I splurged and got a half Hawaiian half cowboy tonight to treat myself. It was absolutely delicious. My only comment is that on the Hawaiian half you could not taste the pineapple. I think you better invest in a little bit better pineapple. It had zero flavor.👍🏼

My wife attempted to phone in an order. Our family have tomatoes allergies, so we order Olive Oil and Garlic sauce. The male employee 1st acted like he did not know what she was talking about.  He then told her that sauce was only put on certain specialty pizzas.  I then said we order the olive oil and garlic sauce on our pizza all the time and we don't order the specialty pizzas.  He then told my wife we could order the sauce on the pizza. He read off the order and stated olive oil and chopped garlic.  She attempted to ask him about the chopped portion an hehung up on her, without obtaining her information and/or completing the order.
He demonstrated a lack of patience and did not provide good customer service.

Tried to phone in an order. My Family is allergic to tomatoes.  So I attempted to ask for Olive Oil and Garlic sauce.  The man who answered first acted like he did not know what I was talking about.  Then he said that sauce only goes on certain pizzas.  My husband was in the back ground and heard the conversation.  He told the man we order the sauce on pizzas all the time.  He then said yes you can get the sauce on any pizza. He then talked about chopped Garlic and I attempted to clarify it. My husband then said it's probably just a difference in terminology.  I was going to complete our order and the man hung up on me, without getting my name or phone number, (closing out the order).

It really is unfortunate because my family and I just love Papa Murphy's, and the location I'm reviewing is the closest to where I live plus I think it's one of the oldest ones in the area. The food is always good that's never the problem the problem comes more with staff that makes you feel like your burdening them to make an order. I Unknowledgeable about the items they serve and sell! If you don't like working with the public then this is not the right place!

I’ve had generally good experiences here, and have been using this location since they opened, some 10 years ago. The food is always good, and the amount of time spent waiting is usually minimal.

The store is always kept very clean and neat, and the side items are typically well-stocked.

They seem to have gotten a little slow recently, but that could easily be just a one-off. I’ll certainly continue coming here.

Let's see where do I begin?  First off I ordered online ahead of me getting there to save on time.  I was early so i went to target across the parking lot. Came across the street at the time it should have been done.  Upon arriving there was one lady ahead of me whom they helped immediately. Me, not so much. I told the man my order and he told me they hadn't even started it yet. Which was irritating but not upsetting seeing how i chose to pay in store. I can understand them not wanting to waste product in case i didn't show.  By this time the store is empty. I'm the only person there with two workers. My order wasn't complicated even for a child. Just two pizzas and a salad. I should've been out in 5-10 mins tops but no i was in there for 30-45 before my order was finished.  It took so long i had to ask what was going on.  The guy instructed me he needed to put toppings on my salad. Mind you I was the only customer in there for about 10-15 mins.  Like seriously how long does it take to throw some toppings on a pizza and salad ESPECIALLY ONE YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO COOK!!  The other pizza chains can why can't papa Murphy's?  Included are pictures of my salad. They just threw the trash pieces in there smh. Do better!!

We love Papa Murphy’s, from the pizza to the employees…usually 4-5 stars!  But this new chicken beer cheese pizza?  Where’s the chicken??  It was like something a toddler would make, when the pantry and fridge are running on empty.  Disappointing…but we will continue our patronage (at least once/week).. just not this um…’pizza’.

2 times now my desert did not get home with my order.  Don’t recall it being on the same shelf with my pizza.  Did I forgot it ?  Not ever have the energy to drive back or call the store so I just never get to have a desert.  Really good pizza,  just need you to put my dessert on the same self somehow so it is not forgotten.

Pros:
1) Relatively cheap
2) Fairly good options for toppings and styles
3) Flavors fairly good - the sausage options are good

Cons:
1) No option for just stuffed crust - just stuffed pizza
2) For the stuffed pizza, you can’t specify which toppings to put on top or inside the pizza (like if you wanted to change the cheese on top or have pepperoni added to the top of the pizza
3) Standard downside of Papa Murphy’s, being that you have to cook the pizza yourself. Makes it tough to ever have 3 (or maybe even 2) pizzas ready at a time

I placed an online order and my pizza was ready right on time. The employees at this location were friendly and did a great job making a quality pizza. Thank you!

Weird how they have the same rude service as the other state line road store and both have the same wrong hours posted. Or maybe they just don't want to put in the work. Either way I'm going to sarpinos or original

I ordered a large Papa's Favorite. It had very little tomato sauce but it was topped with alot of ingredients. The girl working there was not friendly at all. I had to start a little small talk. I also think they should have take out menus. I asked the girl and she said they didn't have them. I've always bragged about how good Papa Murphy's pizzas are to other people and to give em a try because the pizza is made fresh to take home and bake but I don't think I'm going to compliment this company anymore. IF I was to try them again I'll go to the one on 72nd and north oak. They've always been good.

The adult male who is working today was rude and disrespectful to me and a customer he talked to on the phone. Since when is it okay to talk badly about customers when they're standing right there? He needs to find a job that doesn't make him so unhappy. The young girl who was working was polite and kind.

Normally I would give this place 5 stars. I ordered a family size pizza and a few mini murphs, I didn't pay attention while I was in the store, but when I got home my wife noticed I brought home a large. I was charged for a family size. Not the end of the world, but I did have to go grab a small frozen pizza to feed everyone. .

Great pizza, great vaule! Service was outstanding

This place has really gone downhill.  The last 2 times we ordered pizza there was basically NO sauce on it - maybe a tablespoon for a large 14" pizza.  This time our pizza was missing the onions as well as virtually NO sauce.  IF we ever order from here again (unlikey) we won't order ahead, instead we will stand there and oversee the person making the pizza to make sure they don't skimp or leave off toppings.  NOT a happy customer!

Quick service and quality product. Picked up earlier today and baked it this evening. Very good!

The experience was great. It was fast and very helpful. I ask a few questions got the right answers and ordered. Was in and out in 25 mons.

My mom loves the build your own calzone and 5 cheese bread. I pick it up once a week for dinner. It is fast and easy.

Yummy. One of my favorite places. Food is always fresh and good. I love take& bake. They are fast at preparing pizzas as well. I ordered the other day and they said it would be 15-20 minutes until ready. I got there 10 minutes before it was supposed to be ready, and it was all done!  :)

I love this place. The pizza is great! Quality and price are better than other pizza chains. Unfortunately, you do have to bake it yourself, but that has the positive upside that you can pick up the pizza early and still serve it hot out of the oven! They offer text deals and online and in store specials. They will usually honor an online deal to a walk in customer if you ask.    The pizza is much MUCH better than any grocery store's take and bake.

I bought 2 family size pizzas &normally experience is good but when the employee was making pizzas he was very stingy with all condiments so I asked can I get more cheese cause pizza was barely covered &I asked for alittle more cheese the guy tried to charge me extra for some cheese that was supposed to be on pizza...$44.00 & yes I want pizza on point...when I go back for another pizza & he is there I am going elsewhere...plain & simple🤬

The place was clean. And one of the workers brought my pizza out to me after they were done making it. He can tell I was in pain. And that was true. I had surgery done to my arm. Very nice and helpful staff.

Great service, the customer service though can be better, because I rather not here about an employees plans , the talk must always stay professional while performing at work.

This was my Sweet Thai Chili pizza. Made completely wrong. On a regular crust, about a pound of onions, 5 or 6 pieces of chicken, and NO sauce. Not a drop. If you don't know what is on the pizza, turn around, look up, its on your menu board. Terrible, terrible customer service. His name was Joseph. Disappointed isn't even the word. I basically got a cheese and vegetable pizza on a really thick crust. After my 30 minute wait. #DoBetter

Excellent experience at this location each time. Call in order always ready at the specified time. Fresh wholesome ingredients.

Edit: Be cautious when biting into your pizza. There was an olive pit on my pizza recently, which caused my front tooth a slight chip. Thank goodness for dental insurance. But be very cautious if your pizza has olives, the pits could cause damage to your enamel.

The employees do not care if you’re order is wrong. They just force another option on you. They don’t bag things.  They hand you a sack and have you get it yourself. So I paid $35 for pizza I have to cook, drinks I had to get out of the cooler while holding the rest of my order and bread that wasn’t correct even tho they had hours to make.

Showed up at 3:00 pm on sunday dec 10 to order a pizza and they refused to make me a pizza the manager told me they closing early because they didnt want to miss the game now thats what I call bad business practice I will never visit this location again the manager should be fired

Stopped in and bought a chicken herb mediterranean pizza and mediterranean salad. I ate part of the salad and three pieces of the pizza and it made me sick. My girlfriend only ate the pizza and got sick. Thought it might have been the pizza so I ate the salad later and got sick again. Called and talked to the manager to inform him. Was just informing them so that nobody else would. As a business owner I know if someone has a problem that it should be corrected and at the least an apology given. But I guess a "Thanks for telling us", in a melancholy voice is sufficient. Won't say I won't eat Papa Murphy's again but not from this location.

A great option for all, they will take EBT. Almost always have good deals. Very good pizzas 🍕.  Feeds tons of kiddos on cheap if needed.

This store is noticeably under staffed yet they still meet their  demands (orders). And always the highest quality of food and service. So please be patient, kind and please do tip. They deserve it.... Thank you guys so much for all you do for your community...

$5 pizza but can’t change a sauce ?? Crazy !!
If you don’t like red sauce then can’t substitute for a white sauce!! What a crock !
I could understand if they were busy but not a single person was there except for the one worker who apparently is lazy and didn’t want to do anything. I’ll never go back.
The Blue Springs location was better and helpful and listened to their customers.

I've never had a bad experience with Papa Murphy's and I always get exceptional service no matter which Independence location I go to. Consistency is key and Papa Murphys has that in spades.

I love that Thai Chicken pizza. The thin crust you guys put out is so crunchy and delectable, it ought to be illegal.

It is nice to pick up on the way home after ordering online.  Great tasting.

Good, fast & friendly service. Good place to pick your pizza and take it home and bake it hot yourself!

Great pizza always fresh ingredients and top ingredients and oh my it's tasty and fresh
