Kansas City

In town from St. Louis...had to try them. People were flat out super friendly..! Ribs were great, brisket had great flavor, a bit dry. And the pulled pork was moist, but pretty salty. They obviously finish the plate with a rub as I could see it on there. Been to all of the top KC bbq places now. All great, but, St. Louis places really are just as good!

We went for Christmas Eve dinner. From the time we walked in, the service was excellent. We had the pig wings as an appetizer and OH MY were they fantastic. We had never been to Gram & Dun before and asked our server for recommendations. She was patient with a big smile. My husband had the shrimp and grits and I had the scallops. We also shared an order of creamed Brussels sprouts and oh my were they fantastic as well as our meal. We ordered a bottle of french chennin blanc that paired wonderfully. The wine steward was knowledgeable and friendly. We shared a cab franc icewine and oatmeal cookie dessert with ice cream. Our table had a view of the patio and the large fireplace. We will return for sure! A wonderful way to spend our holiday special evening.

Amazing food! Everything on the menu is wonderful! Outstanding servers that are very personable. They just remodeled and have a stunning dining room and Patio. Perfect place to bring the whole family or to just stop by late with friends and grab some appetizers and drinks cuz they're open till 1:30 now and food till 12!!!

I loved the great food and the great service. Any time I'm in town (my wife and I live in Long Beach, CA), I'll be sitting down to eat at the Blue Nile. The place is comfortable and they serve the "original soul food" - that's what my bro in law calls it. And I agree.

Up Down is a fun place to visit. It has lots of old school and classic arcade games with a few new ones to play. It pays to get there early if you go on Friday because the first 100 people get 20 coins free just for walking thru the door. All games only require 1 token to play so if your good at playing games 20 tokens can last you a good amount of time. The bar has lots of beers on tap and plenty of drinks to choose from and they also have a pizza bar as well. Just a good place to hang out and have some fun.

This was only the 2nd time being at No 9. Had a good time, both times. This time however, although I was there for a special event, it was awesome! Had a excellent time! Midnight Rodeo, as always, jammed it like noones business! Staff was friendly, too. But, there is 1 server that was above and beyond, and her name is Kirsten. She was the best Ive seen in a long time! So much so, I tipped her 74% of my total bill. Thanks Kirsten! You da Bomb!!!!!! I recommend No 9 for sure. Ask for Kirsten. You wont be sorry!!!!

Nice hotel and nice location. Front desk staff was very nice. The bartender in the bar is not friendly and just plain crabby so I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. We tried the bar on two different nights..and for the price you pay you just expect better service. Also....maybe just my opinion but kids shouldn't be allowed in the bar area....they have a separate restaurant that they could go too. Rooms are nice here. Would stay here again if I was in the area....I just won't go back to the bar.

The waterpark was better than we expected. It was clean, water temps were good (colder in certain areas but mostly good), and the atmosphere was fun. Our son loved the little slides and we were impressed with how attentive the life guard was. He was good with making the kids follow the rules but was friendly with them and seemed to enjoy his job. They were very good at keeping the bigger kids (above 48") away from this area, so the little ones could have fun and stay safe. The life guards around the lazy river were very diligent too. They were constantly walking and looking with their life preservers, taking the extra tubes out for safety, and were friendly. We enjoyed the waterpark and would come back!

This was our first time at the Sprint Center last night to see Ariana Grande. It was a great experience for us. Bathrooms were clean. The staff was amazing. The moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and if you looked lost they noticed that and made it a point to help. Concession staff was good and quick. Over all Great experience! Definitely will go back!!

I had such an amazing wedding here (bride). I loved everything, the venue is so spacious and beautiful and the employees here are amazing! Todd helped us with our whole wedding, even the little things. He went above and beyond and I can't stop praising him! On the night of the wedding we had an amazing bartender, Alex and two other employees helping things go smoothly, Dylan and Ashton. All my guests loved being here since it is easy to get to. Everything went perfect and it's because of the great employees here. The price is unbelievable to, for an all inclusive wedding this place cannot be beat.

My daughter, a family friend, and I went to the museum yesterday. It's one of those things that you know it's here but you never go because you can always go there tomorrow. Well tomorrow finally came. I am not one for many words. I went to the National World War II museum last year and although this one does not compare in size it does compare in quality and content. I judge this museum on my daughter's experience. She entered they the building knowing very little about this "War to End All Wars" and left full on gained knowledge AND questions about how this terrible war is relevant today. My daughter is not one is overly interested in history or politics. If this place can instill excitement and interest in her then I would give it 10 stars. Unfortunately I can only give 5 so.... Take your family, take your parents, take your grandparents... Everyone will learn something and maybe your older family members will teach you as well.

We just came home to the midwest after eight years in Philadelphia. We loved the Philadelphia Museum of Art: It's a world-class institution, clearly. But Nelson-Atkins warms my heart: It's collection is amazing in its own right, plus the donation-based entry fee approach means that families of all incomes can easily choose to take advantage of it. I'm a particular fan of the American art collection, and of the collection of paintings by local artist Thomas Hart Benton, whose work screams "American" more than any other painter who ever lived. KC is said to have undergone a cultural revival in the last decade, but the Nelson -Atkins has always been there, expanding the experiences and worldviews of those who choose to experience it.

First time visitors to MO and we arrived in the area to check out the Sea Life attraction across the street. My two kids LOVED the Crown Center and were in awe of the cool stores and dining options. We ended up having lunch at the Crayola Cafe. Reasonably priced and great food. The overall layout and design of the shopping area was really cool. We are originally from california but are in the process of moving away from our previous home of Biloxi MS. MO is gorgeous and we definitely appreciated the architecture of the area. Great location. Parking wasnt an issue. Thank you for the memories :)

I love the City Market. Not only can you buy fresh fruits and veggies at an unbeatable price but the eateries in this area are so very perfect. I love the garage sale vendors that bring their antiques and things that you might not know you need. You can spend an entire day there walking around, for a low rate you can get a bounce house pass so the kids can work out their restlessness and parents can take a break.

We always enjoy visiting the P&L district in KC for the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament.. The restaurants and bars all offer a variety of themes and food options. The staff are always professional, courteous and appreciative of all the fans that come down and spend their weekend having a great time, enjoying the atmosphere and a great college basketball event. I can't say enough about the city and all those involved with organizing and managing the event - they really have it nailed down and I hope they keep the tournament here for years to come!
