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.

Tucked away in a strip mall....but don't let that fool you. Woman owned joint is all about service and food is delish. Easy on the wallet too.

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.

Monday is 1/2 price pizza (wood fired and ohhh so good). Tuesday is 1/2 price bottles of wine. Locally owned by an Italian family, they also have a small grocery section. Please give this place a try.....nice patio to sit on when weather permits.

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.

This is the main branch of our library. The building was originally a bank. Always great exhibits and the building itself is a treasure to behold.
