To Tomfooleries Restaurant & Bar, I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME AT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT & WILL DISCOURAGE EVERYONE ELSE I KNOW FROM DOING SO AS WELL!!! I have never received such terrible customer service from a restaurant before, especially when the food & drinks are subpar at best!!! Your management staff needs to have extensive training on how to speak with & treat customers, they turned an evening of good times and celebration into a very negative experience. Unless you retrain your night time management staff or replace them I think it will negatively impact your companies bottom line in the future!!!!
Instant/fountain tea and cheese SAUCE versus real cheese on their baked potato fries. Ruined what would have been a good meal (good burgers). Used to be better.
Try there chocolate shakes, and Tenderloins. Great onion rings too.
Went to Martin City location around 6 o'clock on Friday night. Drove awhile to get there. Saw the Diners, Drive-in's and Dives show. No soap or paper towels in men's restroom. Sat at bar and the bartenders seemed more interested in talking to the cute, young women at the end of the bar than serving us. The parking lot was empty, just a few people inside. Ordered a bourbon off their list and they didn't even seem to know they had it. Went to a back room to pour it. They could have poured any type of bourbon in there. Had the fries and they were fresh cut and good. But wow, work on customer service and pour the drinks in front of the customer. Might try the original location, not this one again.
Love Max's! The fact that he knows our names and greets us with a smile EVERY single time we walk in says a lot about the place. We haven't lived in KC for the past three years but still make it a point to go in for burgers and fries when we are in town. Just forget about Sonic and McDonald's...not in the same league.

As a vegetarian for fifteen years I can say with confidence their veggie burger is THE BEST veggie burger I've had. I don't usually go for them because you never know when its just a dressed up Boca or black bean and bread crumb patty. Theirs is complex in flavor and texture. Seriously, delicious. The bartender was named Adam and he was precious; great to talk to and very welcoming. I think people should come here in the right mindset--grab a stool, relax, and eat a burger. No frills, just delicious food and at least one great bartender.
I luv the burgers, fries, drinks and the vibe at this spot!
Overall, its a nice break from the other establishments on Mass. St. One of my favorites!
Stopped by late on a Friday recently coz I'd heard they televise Sporting KC matches pretty religiously. the vibe was very cool with that "we're all regulars" feel and even though I was just visiting I felt very much welcome. The bonus was I found out that the kitchen closes at 11:00 on Fridays and Saturdays so I got a chance to actually try the burgers I'd heard so much about, and let me tell you they live up to the hype. If you're on the adventurous side I recommend you try the egg burger (medium of course) with truffle fries! The sunny-side-up egg makes the burger juicy and creamy and complements the fries, which give you the taste of the truffle while avoiding the greasiness.
The only place in town to get a real a Italian deli sandwich !!! These guys barely speak english.
When they first opened this 54th ST. location on NE Barry Rd. near Liberty, it was one of only a few restaurants in that area. Now it's very built up with many choices. Many have come and several have gone in the past 10 years. The 54th St. seems to attract the shoppers from the near by strip malls and Wal-Mart. In the early years, this 54th ST. was at least OK, nothing special, but decent enough and closer to Kearney where we live than most other restaurants. But we stopped going there after a waiter, botched our large group order. Example: "Oh you wanted the salad before your meal?" Complaining only got us a gift certificate for $10. off the next visit. No thanks. On an earlier trip, our waiter asked us to give him his tip before we were done, because he was ending his shift. Amazing! To be fair, the Liberty area is service worker challenged. and good help is hard to find and harder to keep given the low wages and poor management in many of these corporate chain boxes. The food at 54th St. is similar to other family American fare style boxes like Appplebee's, etc. We usually opt for The Corner Cafe which is a few feet away from the 54th St. location.
This place by far is the worst i've been too in years. My steak was nuked, i asked for medium and i got a well done hockey puck, my bbq chicken breast was a flimsy little piece of flash frozen chicken like the tenderbird brand with cheap ole kraft bbq sauce on it, and the worst part it was cold when i finally got my order. The ranch dressing for salads is awful as well. The servers sound like they are reading from a card and always ask if you want dessert every time they come to the table in hopes they can sell you something else. The place is over priced for the amounts you get also. I'll never go back.
The manager there is extremely rude and unsanitary the food is OK but nothing special I would rather go to sonic or McDonald
Best authentic Mexican food in town. Period. Staff is always super friendly and attentive and salsa bar is great. Huge food portions and small prices top it all off. The family and I were eating here the other evening and I decided to try the steakburger for the first time (I could never bring myself to order it because the other food is always so good). Well, I ordered the double and when it got to me my jaw dropped. Two half pound patties! It was huge, juicy and full of flavor! With fresh lettuce, onion and tomato, I needed no other condiments. Now not only is this my favorite spot for Mexican, but for burgers too! I guess I have to go twice as often now!
I personally LOVE Blanc. The hostesses at the Leawood location are always so friendly and charming! The restaurant is busy every time I go, so I can see why most of the reviewers mentioned curt waiters. The flavor and unique presentation (the fun shopping-cart fry holders) can only be found at Blanc. I highly, highly recommend Blanc if you want to experience unique and delicious Kansas City cuisine.
This Bar and grill Is amazing. The food was delicious and available till 2am. adn the drink prices were incredible. $2 for a well or pint draw. $3 Jagerbomb. for $20 I can have a good time all night. I had heard that they had a rough crowd, but the staff said they got rid of the bad element, by changing the music they play and enforcing a new dress code. It was busy on the Friday I went, but there were lots of bouncers and everyone seemed to be just having a good time. I can't wait to go back to Moxie.
There is a group of us ladies that went to Rockhurst years a go that have mostly all just recently moved back to the area. Our hangout was Mikes on Troost and then Hoopers, until we found the downstairs at the Brooksider. The bartender was Nathan, or Nate Dogg. He made the place, he knew everyone's name was always happy to see you and was a master at creating a party atmosphere. He left for awhile for another bar and the place tanked hard. He came back and the party was back and he even turned the basement into a dance club that felt like a keg party. We miss him and would like to know if anyone knows if he is bartending around town or if the Brooksider could bring him back even if it is just for a reunion weekend.

You can tell everything is fresh on this menu. Even the sauces are made. The decor is pretty trendy and so are the people that go there. Nothing like a burger-joint to make you feel unpopular or not artsy enough. If I had to pick between the Westport Flea Market (where you look at junk and feel like you might be in a cage match), or Blanc Burgers (you need artistic glasses and a scarf to fit in), I would pick Westport, due to the price and slightly better burgers.

Greasy Burger and greasier fries. Good Diet Cokes. Somewhat disappointed because I had heard good things about Five Guys.

Re: “Blanc Burgers & Bottles”
Expensive, tasteless meat in the burger. Very poor service. Server neglected many times to stop and ask if we needed anything from condiments to drinks. Had to hail him down like you would a cabbie in New York. My money is better spent elsewhere. Not planning on returning. Work too hard for my money..
