Local Favorite Restaurants
I'm all about supporting our local businesses. Here are a few of my favorite joints close by that are locally owned. I hope you'll give them your business :)
Excellent food, great service, small dining area. I go to wine tastings there often. Reservations are not taken, first come first serve and ALWAYS worth the wait. $$$ My favorite dishes are the Cannelloni and Chicken Walnut Pasta.

Just around the corner on 63rd. Great happy hour, Tuesday night ladies night is 1/2 price. Delicious food, nice atmosphere. Often you can find a special on Tastable for discounted reservations. If you're not in the bar, I recommend a reservation.

My GO TO coffee shop. Much better than anything Starbucks could deliver. Do yourself a favor. The owners live here in Brookside and they have 4 shops around town. :)

In an unexpected location. Always a wait because it's THE best in KC. I love the spicy cole slaw and ribs are done right. Forget Q39, BB's, Jack Stack and Arthur Bryants. The only other really good spot is in KCK.....Slaps.
