Don Panchos. It doesn’t get much better. Street food. Discada (multi meat combo) is a favorite taco, burrito, nacho meat choice. Family who runs it is amazing. You’ll hear the phrase, “see you tomorrow” at least 5 times before you leave 😀😎

Hands down my wife’s favorite joint. Rotating new menu daily. Sell out daily. Consistent staples which are incredible including za’atar fries, black garlic biscuit sandwiches, and schawarma. Oh and did I mention the homemade pop tarts (and pastries) that ALWAYS sell out? Go early, go big, and go home… to take a nap 😴 😅.

Local pub food but elevated. We know the grower of the veggies. It’s all goooood. Pizzas are a staple. Burgers are on point. They’ve tried to get into BBQ. Wouldn’t recommend that (of course, we are KCMO native so it’s really hard to compare 😉)

High-end joint. Food is elevated (and so are the prices). Fun for a once-in-a-blue-moon date night. Or, if you’re ballin 😎, just go for it
