Smaxx

I visited during a low traffic time (Thursday lunchtime), so I know nothing about the higher traffic times. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was plentiful and delicious (I got the Missed Breakfast burger and fries), and I enjoyed the historical pictures and newspaper articles on the walls. Some small criticism - the Pepsi machine was out of 2 flavors, including Pepsi (my favorite!) and the menu needs updating with new hours and typo corrections.

Decided to have nice night out. Didn't know I would receive a 2 for 1. The service was awesome and lively (at the daiquiri and wing spot). The ambiance is nice the cover change was $5.00 atm and there is an outside patio area to sit. The music was Banging! and the drinks are flavorful to many options to count. Only drink 1 (2 if you live close by) lol. Can't wait to enjoy the vibe again! Parking was easy to find

Good on point! Really hit the spot for some casual dining of friend food. Had the fried fish and it measures up. Husband had the garlic parm whole wings and they too were great! We will return and the service was fast. And don't forget to ask for some of the Nashville hot sauce-delicious!

A solid cheeseburger and perfectly cooked, well seasoned crinkle fries. Courteous staff. The wall of daiquiris looks dangerously fun but I was driving so I opted out this time.

We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked through the door. Our order was taken immediately, I love how short & simple the menu is while still adding their own unique touches to certain burgers. They also serve chicken, fish, and tacos. My food was amazing. The burger was much more than expected and worth the $8, with the side of fries for $2 were beer battered. I went and got a daiquiri next door at Velvet freeze next door, because they are two businesses combined into one. I'm glad we came early because the line was almost out the door in the rain by 7 p.m. I definitely see why, I don't hand out 5 stars often, but when I do you can bet your tastebuds it's worth it!

Just a few doors up from 18th Street on Vine is Smaxx. A small diner serving grilled and fried foods. It contains about 8 or so booths and displays photos and framed articles and advertisements of KC history on the walls.I ordered the Bacon Onion Burger with rings. The rings were pretty basic mass produced frozen fare, but the burger was outstanding. A very large patty seasoned and grilled, with tons of fried onions, bacon, lettuce, pickle, and tomato. Very friendly service and local owned in KC's most historic neighborhood. Plenty of reasons to pay Smaxx a visit.

Okay, so I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and it was good. Not the best but still tasty and satisfying. The price was also really good. Solid score for food. However, service was not good. Walking in there was no greeting. Standing at the front, the cashier didn't say, "I'm ready when you are," nothing. She looked agitated. When I asked if she was ready for my order, since she kept talking to people in the back, she got an attitude. I had been standing there for about 2-3 minutes . once my order was ready, which was fairly quickly and I appreciated that, I asked for plastic utensils and she became upset because she had to go look for it. I went around 12:45 in the afternoon so they weren't open long enough for her to already be in a foul mood. If service improves then I'd be happy to frequent this spot.

TRASH! Smaxx put me in a sad place.That place was horrible HORRIBLE! They didn't care about their food quality, their space stank, their service was HORRIBLE, I was literally standing there watching my food on a grill and there was NO ONE in the kitchen. ...YUCK ...don't ever go there.

I came here for the first time with my family and we didn't know that they sold everything separately except for a couple of items. Three burgers and fries came to 50.00 and the orders didn't even include any drinks. The woman who took our order was a poor listener, and even worse communicator, and her attitude was awful. We won't ever return here, because what's the point in paying for that kind of frustration and bad customer service. Money NOT WELL SPENT AND IT GIVES REASON TO NOT PATRONIZE A BUSINESS JUST FOR BEING "BLACK OWNED".

I'm only been once, but the burger was great and onion rings. Prices are a little more than I expected.
