The atmosphere is definitely "hick" with deer heads all over the place, I eat there once a week with my widower grandfather. The people are nice, just not the type of people I usually associate with. But regardless the food is very good and I go to be with my grandfather to keep him going after losing his wife of 50+ years.
Tanner's food is far better than "typical bar grub." It is good quality , generous, and affordable . They also run bar specials that are very reasonably priced.
We really enjoyed it. The small dinning room ambiance and food were much better than most large Plaza restaurants.
We had seared scallops in a mushroom risotto w/ asparagus and a chicken pot pie.
The Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding was amazing! We will go back for this alone.
The only downsides were some of the food tended to be a tad too salty and there seemed little other choice to drink. We do not drink cocktails or wine. I had an iced tea but it didn't taste right.
All you can eat tacos are so good. Taco spice in the shaker on every table is also awesome. I don't know if they make their own taco sauce but it tastes really good. Only thing I don't like is being charged extra for onions...and tomatoes are not even a option even if you offer to pay extra for them.
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.

It was exactly what I expected. Typical diner food. The service was great, especially since we went right when the restaurant was starting to pick up for the day but the food wasn't really any different than any other diner food I'd had and it's kind of out of the way for me.

I went there for lunch with a friend it was really good! I had the spicy lentil burger with the butter leaf salad (It was sooooo delicious, the flavor was soooooo great!) and my friend had the turkey burger with a milkshake, she loved hers too! The owner came by several times to chat with us. He was very very nice. Our server was nice but as attentive and I'm thinking it may have been because they were quite busy at the time. She snipped at me once when I asked for the check but again, I think it may have been because they were busy. I would love to go back again it was a good value for everything you get.

Great service and drinks as always. Ordered our steaks medium and both were well done. They weren't burnt and were edible, but they sure were not medium. Not the slightest hint of pink in the middle. We sat at the bar and there was a lady smoking clove cigarettes. Of course this is out of the bar's control, but the lady chain smoked the whole way through our dinner.
If you order the nicely (very affordable) priced KC Strip, have the server educate the cook on how you want your steak cooked.
I know they aren't a steak house, but hey, it's KC, everyone should know how to grill a steak!

I forgot to mention in my previous review that they do take credit cards now too. So even though it's an old fashion cafe enviornment they can service non-cash carrying customers.

I work in the Grandview area, and TJ's has become one of my favorite lunch spots. Breakfast and soup are two of my favorite foods, which just happens to be two things that TJ's specializes in. The thing I want to mention here is their soups. Plain and simple they have a soup artist working for them. Their soup ranges from vegatable beef, potatoe, beef barely and they are even better with a grill cheese on the side. But let me tell you folks, their soup is almost the best I've ever had. It's just the right consistency, with fresh ingredients, and seasoned just right. It is seriously delicious. But that's not all this place does good, they smoke briscuit, make a mean breakfast any time of day, and have an assortment of pies for dessert. Hands down my compliments to the chef, and the rest of the staff who care and so much and give such a wonderful gift of their talent to the world!
Thanks,
Scott

Ate here during the brunch on Sunday when we met long time friends. Should have been more Italian stuff. Nothing really great stood out in my mind. Atmosphere is very nice but I can't eat atmosphere. Salads, pasta , deserts all ok nothing outstanding. For the price I will go to Cinzetti's in OP.

Very good and VERY romantic. The vast majority of the seating at all melting pots is private, making it a great place to take a date. The cheese dips are amazing, as is the chocolate dessert. The staff always makes the experience pleasant, and its quite affordable. I recommend ordering an entree with a lot of seafood. This is because you cook your own entree in a broth, and at least for me, boiled meat is not something I want to pay a lot of money for.

Re: “Big Boy Burgers”
Try there chocolate shakes, and Tenderloins. Great onion rings too.
