The Capital Grille

Came here for lunch and was seated right away!
I got the steak frites, rosemary french fries with a French onion soup. It was excellent. Everything tasted great and fresh.
The staff were very nice and always kept our waters refilled and the restaurant was nice and clean. Would definitely come back.

The Capital Grill on The Plaza in Kansas City did a fantastic job. I booked a table for six and a table for 12 on New Years Eve at 3:30 pm. The Hostesses Sarah and Kim were able to accommodate our group and place us together... we had a large group! Our server, Brett, did a great job handling everyone's request.  This location was awesome, and that's why we have made this a NYE tradition the last few years.

Top notch service: incredibly attentive, friendly, but not overbearing. Kept wine glasses full and both of us very happy.

Appetizers were fantastic, steak was cooked perfectly, and the sides were hearty and decadent. Overall very happy with my birthday dinner!

Dinner at The Capital Grille was everything we hope for in a fine dining experience. We started with Tuna Tartare with Avacado Mango and Siracha Ceasar salad, Gorgonzola crusted dry aged KC Strip with Cabernet reduction, sides of Sam's mashed Potatoes and Lobster Mac n Cheese and ended with Chocolate Espresso Cake. It was a wonderful dinner with friends.

Our first time at the Capital Grille last night! I got a last minute reservation for me and my husband and we weren’t sure what to expect. They had good reviews and are always busy, so that’s usually a good sign. Because of it being Christmas weekend, the plaza was full of cars and it took us a little longer than expected to get parked. I called the restaurant to make sure we could still get a table and they told us to come in. We got to the restaurant and several groups came in after us, all waiting to be seated. However, service is so quick and well organized they had us and all the groups seated in 10 minutes. This place’s service is like a well oiled machine. They sat us in a small room near the restrooms, which was nice because it was quieter than the bar area of the restaurant. I had no idea capital grille was so large! Takes up the whole block!! Our waiter, Corey, was perfect. He was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Our water glasses were always full, we never were waiting for drinks, and there were also additional staff checking tables too. Even how they served the bread: they went in order of how we were sat. The waiter had bread for 3 tables and instead of just serving us and then the tables to our left, he went one by one by the order we had sat down. Lastly, the food was incredible. I got the sirloin and lobster tails. Lobster melted in your mouth, homemade butter is to die for, and steaks were SO tender! We will definitely be back and I can tell it’s a Kansas City tradition to go there, now I know why!! One of a kind place.

Mr. Gyros Greek Food & Pastries

Tried the Rice Bowl with Gyro.  It was good but I really wish the left the Gyro sliced vs Chopped up in scraps. Please have the option of chopped vs sliced. Plenty of vegetables and sauce.

First time in & from out of town, it was delicious!
I love Indian/Greek/Turkish food & trying out new places to get it. I will definitely be back.
The staff was very pleasant & friendly. We all made conversation & they made recommendations.
The facility was beautiful & a nice atmosphere. I was quite happy with how clean everything looked including the bathrooms. As someone who knows the restaurant business I’m regularly disappointed in the lack of cleanliness of places, not the case here.

I would like the tzatziki to be more cucumber.

The service here sucks! I bought the apple pie baklava. The sign said you can have it warmed but the lady with the black curly hair said we don’t usually do this and then said she is barely going to warm it in a rude tone. I’ll take my money elsewhere. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this type of service here. Customers are nice and they reply rudely.

The woman working the counter was rude and my steak pita not only barely had any meat on it, but it was burnt and dried out. The lentil soup also had maybe two small specks of feta. I usually goto the Overland Park one and will not make the mistake of coming to this one ever again.

I arrived to Mr. Gyros around 1:30 and I got the lunch special. There wasn't much of a line in the food came out fairly quickly. The food is always constant and doesn't disappoint. But the only thing I would request is to bring back the Sriracha hot sauce.

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!

Paros Estiatorio

Let me just say that this was probably one of my favorite restaurants I've ever been too on my birthday. Starting with the octopus (Oktapadi)and lamb (Arnisia  Plevrakia)appetizers, I was already in love. And when I finally got my main course with
Lamb chops and fries(Arnisia Paidakia), I was in heaven. I don't even like fries and we ate them all! My wife had the Halibut and it was also perfect with crunchy skin. The chefs were cool enough to make us our own little "Spicy" sauce that we used on everything. I hope they remember it for next time! I had no idea what the Olive Oil Cake would be like but I am SO glad I tried that, im pretty sure I'm addicted now. Plus Ryan, our server, who was such an awesome guy and took really good care of us, brought me a little surprise ice cream for my birthday. I almost forgot my wife tried the Med and Persephone's Dream which she loved and I had a virgin Greek Mojito. I could not have been happier. So many new and delightful tastes, I seriously cannot wait to go back!

Had the ambrosia cocktail and expresso martini.  Both delicious.  The grilled octopus and Greek salad were perfect.  The halibut was uneventful and bland.  The roasted chicken was good and the steak was pretty good too. Overall, very nice place.  Need to rethink the fish options next time.

I absolutely loved this place! I'm always happy when I find fantastic food in the Midwest. The cocktails were unique and very good. The grilled vegetable platter had some extra magic and tasted better than any grilled veggies I've made, or had at any other restaurant. The lamb shank was delicious as one would expect. The whole snapper, Fagri, was tender and flavorful. We ended the meal with the best baklava I've ever tasted. We've never tried olive oil cake, so we had to add that to the evening. This was great and the presentation was amazing.

Our first time at Paros was magical! Julia gave us insights into the extensive and impressive Mediterranean menu, which includes flavorful entrees from land and sea, as well as handcrafted desserts. We enjoyed every minute and every morsel in this gorgeous space.

* Food: The food and appetizers were mediocre in my opinion. I ordered the saganki as my appetizer and personally I didn’t like it the cheese it  was quite bitter for my taste. For my entree I ordered the Pastitsio and it looked very delicious, but I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. It had a strong nutmeg taste to it which I didn’t find appealing. I would recommend the Mykonos breeze for the cocktail. It was delicious and sweet.

* Place/ Atmosphere: The restaurant is beautiful and well designed. It feels like you’re in a high end restaurant in Greece.

* Service: Our waitress was very kind and well educated on the menu. She did a great job taking care of my friends and I.

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.👍🏼

Pokéloha

Update: the manager called me to apologize and gave me a credit for a free bowl!

Flavor was good! Fresh ingredients! Unfortunately I asked for my sauces on the side, and then got none of the ingredients after that. Missing items included the extra seaweed salad and avocado that I paid extra for. Boba was a bit old tasting. Missing ingredients on my bowl: Avocado, Seaweed Salad, Pickled Ginger, Green Onion, Red Cabbage, Sesame Seeds, Crispy Onion, Chili Pepper, Extra Seaweed Salad. Made for a pretty bland bowl. Spent $70 on 3 bowls and a spicy crab salad. 10/26/23 Really sad about the missing seaweed salad. 😭

I got Hawaiian sunset signature bowl with zucchini noodle. I like the combination of texture and taste: chewy veggie and soft protein, sour and sweet and hinted spicy. Given everything is fresh, a bit pricey is reasonable, I guess.

I got this delivered via UberEats and it was phenomenal. The ingredients were fresh, flavorful and filling. Great veg options.

The Rain on Fire bowl is delicious. I was initially concerned with the heat level given the *generous* amount of jalapeno and sriracha together, but the peppers were mostly seedless (thankfully). The other ingredients really cut the heat and balance the flavor. Great taste overall.

Well I seen an ad on Facebook about this place. I love trying new places and was curious. My husband and I went, and we were not disappointed. This place is amazing! The food is amazing, fresh and quite fulfilling.
Seriously try it out you will not be mad.

Nick The Greek

Dropped in for a lunch before running errands and it's pretty good.

The service was friendly and efficient and the location is nice and clean.

I ordered the beef/lamb gyro with regular fries and drink combo.  The gyro was packed full of gyro meat and pretty filling even before I could get to the fries.  The fries are seasoned well (either with oregano or marjoram) and salt, and it's a pretty generous serving.  Definitely leaving here full and satisfied with a baggie of leftovers.

It's not my #1 pick for Greek/Mediterranean cuisine in the metro but it's a very solid choice and leaps and bounds better than everything else available at Ward Parkway.

The gyros we tried were delicious, we got the lamb/beef one and the pork belly gyro and both were huge and full of meat. I loved how fresh everything tasted, it was a bit pricey coming at $16 per gyro with drink but you could easily make it into 2 meals if you wanted to. Make sure to opt for the feta fries instead of regular because it adds the right amount of zing to the bite.

Drink selections were limited but we and I tried their baklava frozen yogurt and oh my it was delicious. It was definitely more yoghurty than full on cream but it was refreshing on a hot day and the baklava with the honey syrup made it very decadent. We did end up spending $50 for 2 people but I was full for the rest of the day cos the portion sizes are huge.

Ever since Pita Blu closed, I've been hurting for a quality plate of Greek food. We stopped by this new spot on a rainy weekend afternoon and decided to try a variety from the menu.

The falafel plate had highs and lows. Unfortunately, among the lows were the falafel. Tiny portions that meant they were near burnt on the outside and dry beyond the pale inside. Well seasoned, but rough texture. The supporting elements were great, and did some heavy lifting for the weak falafel. Fresh pita, flavorful veggies, well seasoned tzatziki. This dish has the normal fries. They had a well balanced mix of salt and oregano and were perfectly cooked.

The gyro was packed to bursting with quality ingredients. Properly prepared sliced meat, lots of the same fresh veg as the falafel plate. We tried the Greek fries for this order. In my opinion, these are doing too much. In addition to the seasoning on the normal fries they add feta, garlic, and green onion. The onion is especially egregious and ruined the entire side. It's all you can taste. If they held back the garlic and onion, kept the feta, and added some lemon or vinegar they would be excellent.

The loukoumades are like those donuts you can find at Chinese buffets. However, they are less falvorful than that. Even with the drizzle of honey and the sprinkle of nuts, they didn't stand out among of the other strongly seasoned food. It is a shame because they are made fresh and looked great.

The baklava is some of the best I've ever had. I don't know if they make it in house or ship it in frozen, but whatever they are doing it works. Baklava is near the bottom of my list of preferred desserts at any other place. I'd get it here every time. Richly sweet without letting that sweetness overwhelm the fattiness from the pastry and nuts. Really solid contender in the dessert roster for the area.

I look forward to trying items from their menu. They aren't quite at the level Pita Blu hit, but they're the best we have in the area.

food was ok service was ok. when asking about choice person waiting on us, didn't know and didn't ask. hummus was super thick an pastey. salad dressing was soso. dont know how i feel about french fries in my gyro. they were cold an had no seasoning on them. guess its their gimmick.  I think fry that are hot an seasoned well with your hummus might be a better gimmick.  the lamb gyro meat was good an the pork belly gyro meat was good. For the $ not not impressed. need a small display of they deserts baklava on a menu pic doesn't look appealing.

I am so glad they added this place! The food, service, atmosphere, everything was great!

The other restaurants I always had to go to because there were no other options but this one I plan to visit again. There was live music outside as well. Fun vibe.

The dessert was amazing.

Shell

I strongly urge everyone to step into this space and discover one of the best Middle Eastern food places in Kansas.  Their Baba Ganoush is better than the one I had all over the Middle East.  No fan fare. Simple and clean and incredibly tasty.

Had Jiros, 2-$20!! Not happy w/that. Shoulda been half that.

Tried to use the pumps, none of them worked for more than $0.04 of gas.

Papu's is inside! Best kept secret in Waldo!

Gas is usually more expensive here. Pretty standard for Shell.

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!!
