Wings Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (336) • $

"This place is literally 10/10. I went to the Northland location. had every type of wing from boneless, bone in, dry rub & wet wings. I also got macaroni & cheese, fries & sweet potato fries with caramel. I wish I got more pictures. The service was good and quick! Literally don't think, just go! The Westport location is getting renovated."

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (345) • $$

"Our waiter, Kayla was awesome! Funny, responsive and very attentive! I have to give to anyone who keeps my Coke Zero full! We love the fish tank! The restaurant was busy, but we had great seating! The cheddar bites were rather oily/greasy, so I skipped that. The rest of our crew enjoyed them.The complementary croissants are always a hit!"

Big Daddy's BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (97) • $

"I've wanted to try Big Daddy's BBQ for years. It's supposed to be one of the best BBQ restaurants in Missouri When we travel cross country, we always stop at the Garth Nature Area - there's great walking trails and a dog park, and Big Daddys is just a few blocks away. Somehow, I'm always in Columbia on Sunday or Monday when Big Daddys is closed, but this time, I made sure to be there on a Wednesday. I'm so glad we stopped in. I had chicken, which was good. Hubby had brisket, which was amazing. As soon as I saw the smoke-ring on the brisket, I knew he had won the day. For sides, we had baked beans and greens beans. Given the way the green beans were handled, slightly spicy, I would definitely try the collard greens next time.The staff was so friendly and one of the girls was singing songs as she was cleaning. It was a fun atmosphere."

"Maybe I just haven't been to this location in awhile but man this place gotten better over the years! First of all nothing can beat the honey butter croissants, they were sooooo good and always served hot!I ordered a sirloin medium rare and it did come out more on the rare side, however that being said its not a steakhouse so overall if you lower your expectations before coming here the food will be outstanding!I will be back in the near future!"

Jumpin Catfish Restaurant

"The crab and fried catfish here are truly the best in the area! The service and staff are outstanding! I absolutely adore this place and the atmosphere it offers."

Chicken Mary's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (98) • $$

"If I could give more than five stars I would. Highly recommend Chicken Mary's. Cannot recommend enough! Hands-down, one of the best places/service I have ever received at a restaurant.From the moment I walked in, I was met with great hospitality from the hostess who immediately seated me and told me about my server. The place has original location charm written all over it! Within a matter of minutes, my server, Keesha, came over with a trainee server, Natasa. I asked for recommendations and was given them with thoroughness and kindness. Per Keesha's recommendations, I ended up ordering a sweet tea, small onion rings, two dark meat chicken thighs, one dark meat chicken leg, the German potato salad, German slaw, and mashed potatoes and gravy. Now if you're thinking, this is a lot of food you are correct. I obviously took some home (and it reheated well in the air fryer). Hands-down, the chicken thighs were the best chicken I've had in my life. Wonderful mix of flavor and crunch, so tender it was nearly falling off the bone. Masterful flavor. The German potato salad was a different consistency than I've seen, but the flavor was out of this world and so was the German slaw. It's nice and refreshing to see something like that on the menu that you don't see just anywhere. The ranch is homemade too! I was too full for dessert, but I would've stuck around and had some of that if not. Keesha and Natasa were so kind throughout the whole meal. We had conversation, they comforted me when I was having a moment, and I received a big hug. They are truly people with big hearts who care.I cannot stress enough to try chicken Mary's. If you have not, add it to your list and make the trip. It is worth it and you will not regret it. Please go see Keesha and Natasa and give kudos to the young chef in the kitchen as well!"

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken - Lee's Summit

★★★★☆ 3.7 (88) • $$

"I was kid free for the night and wanted something delicious and easy. Gus's had been in town for a little bit and so I decided to try it. I am not usually one who wants spicy chicken and had been told it was really hot. The night I went they had a special of two thighs, two legs, bread, coleslaw and beans. For 50 cents more I switched the beans to the potato salad the waitress recommended. The iced tea here is brewed which is always a win for me. For dessert I took home the sweet potato pie!Chicken was hot and super fresh. It was spicy but not kick you in the face, just I am gonna give you the sniffles for an hour. Lol. It was so juicy and tender and crunch on the outside was top notch. The potato salad had just a slight sweet kick but I liked it because it didn't have a bunch of crud in it. No chucks of celery or onion. The coleslaw was light and refreshing. It was a cream sauce but it was not under or over sauced. It was delicious and I am super picky about coleslaw. I ate the sweet potato pie at home. It was good but a little to sweet for me. Which is ok cause sweet souther pies are supposed to be that way. The texture was spot on and I would recommend it to others. I would not take my parents here and it's to spicy for them, but I will be back."

Brookside Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (58)

"Service was lovely, but the food was just so-so. We were greeted with a sample of the spicy crab salad, I did not try, but my friends both really enjoyed it.Ordered the edamame, rainbow roll, and ikura nigiri. If you need gf soy sauce, just ask and they will bring you a small bowl of it.The sushi rolls were a little smaller than what I am used to, rice was a little harder as well. The ikura (fish roe) nigiri was brought out at the very end after the meal was finished. Unfortunately, I wasn't highly impressed with my meal. It seems like a consistent place for sushi, and would come back if I were in the area.Our server was super attentive and checked on us throughout. While he made it known that he hasn't tried all of the menu items, he still tried his best to make recommendations and was happy to bring more ginger, water, drinks."

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (129) • $

"I ordered carryout from this location at 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, and while the food was ready when I got there, it left much to be desired. I was trying to watch calories, so I ordered the grilled chicken tenders, which came with two sides and two corn muffins. The tenders were scanty and sparse, a far cry from the online picture. While they were not dry, they were completely bland and tasteless. The steam from the meal had condensed inside the carryout container, so they were sitting in a couple of teaspoons of water, which didn't help. I ordered the vegetable soup as my first side, which tasted like reddish water with a small amount of finely chopped veggies in the bottom. Completely unappetizing. It didn't come with crackers. My second side was the fried okra, which wasn't too bad, but my corn muffins were nothing to write home about. I also received a free order of hash brown casserole tots. While they were plentiful, they were also completely bland and tasteless. They also looked nothing like the online picture. The ranch dressing they came with helped a little, but after eating a few I set the others aside. I should also mention that when I got home with my meal everything was room temperature, which I'm sure didn't add to the flavor profile. I've ordered from this Cracker Barrel before, and the food was much better. Perhaps it was my choice of a lower calorie entree and side that made everything so bland. But the hash brown tots weren't low calorie, and they were also bland. When I finished my meal I felt so starved of flavor that I wanted to eat anything sweet to cleanse my palate. Not a sensational eating experience by any means."

Fontenot's Po'boys

★★★★★ 4.5 (50)

"Plan a little extra time to enjoy great food w family & friends. It takes a little time but completely worth it for well prepared Louisiana cookin', best Andouille Sausage Po Boy I've had outside of NOLA. It's just how I like it, well seared while still tender & juicy. Fried green tomatoes & Gator Bites were a hit too. Bluesy Zydeco background music that my friends Bauer & Ed will be sure to enjoy! I-70 Travelers & Ozarks goers PRO-TIP: stop here for lunch, it's only 75 minutes away! Keep in mind they close at 2pm & reopen at 4pm for dinner."

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (58)

"Nice merch store. Food and beverages were reasonably hot and good. They did fail to bring out part of my breakfast order, had to ask again. At Cracker Barrel it's best to stick to the basics like breakfast or their daily specials for best execution and quality. The flush toilets lack flush power, they need to replace them."
