If you want a proper sit-down breakfast, this is a great place! The Farmhouse is a wonderful farm-to-table restaurant with fresh ingredients. It’s a bit on the pricier side for dinner, but worth it!

Kansas City is known for its BBQ, and each local has their favorite - this is mine. Their BBQ is by Joe’s KC, and I can’t get enough of it. I’m vegetarian, but I not when I come here - seriously!

If you ask Kansas Citians who has the best BBQ, you're going to get a handful of answers - but Joe's KC is always on the list and is my personal favorite. It has a sweet flavor but with a slight kick. Yum!
