4141 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 216-6462
You have to love a place that started from a food truck. One of KC's best restaurants and we eat here a LOT.
Beer Kitchen
435 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 389-4180
Great any time of day but especially for brunch. Trust us. Reverse happy hour starts at 11 PM.
Westport Cafe and Bar
419 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 931-4740
A Parisian café that inspired our reception venue. Brunch includes a complimentary cocktail. Yes, please!
Manifesto
1924 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64108, (816) 536-1325
One of KC’s infamous speakeasies and has been named one of the best bars in America. Al Capone drank here and so should you. Keep it on the DL by texting reservation requests to 816-536-1325.
Ça Va
4149 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 255-3934
Our favorite date spot. A romantic hole-in-the-wall bar with creative libations and the best pommes frites.
Jerusalem Cafe
431 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 756-2770
They know us by name here, that’s how much we love their falafel, gyros, and shawarma. (We also frequent their food truck on late nights.)
Filling Station Coffee
2980 McGee Trafficway, Kansas City, MO 64108, (816) 931-4335
Arguably the best coffee shop in KC. We might be a little biased. (See their Instagram for pics of Manager Elliot Kastner.)
Quay Coffee
412-B Delaware Street, Kansas City, MO 64105, (816) 844-7829
Be a local and pronounce it "key". Great coffee in the River Market area. Take the streetcar down Main Street to get there.
Brown & Loe
429 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO 64106, (816) 472-0622
For the architecture fans. Formerly Merchant Bank constructed in 1920, this pre-war beauty evokes art deco sentimentality. A River Market spot perfect for larger parties.
Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que
3002 West 47th Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66103, (913) 722-3366
You can’t come to Kansas City without indulging in some KC BBQ. Joe’s KC is pretty much a historical landmark of Cowtown. Martin recommends the Z Man Sandwich.
Q39 - Midtown
1000 West 39th Street, Kansas City, MO 64111, (816) 255-3753
In the heated debate over which BBQ joint is King, Q39 always has its passionate supporters. Its Midtown locale makes it perfect for our out-of-towners.
