Leawood is NOT low rent. It is well educated, upscale, 97% white & priced to keep it that way. The location is solid!
Hi Charles. You mention the chicken @ Rye's is hormone/anti-biotic free (this is not unique, by-the-way, as all chicken is mandated to be by federal law) but do you know the source of the beef they serve? I didn't see it mentioned in your article if the beef is clean.
We went to brunch today and put a decent dent in the menu, but if you get apple fritters, the fried chicken livers and grits, and a slice of lemon meringue pie, after you wake up out of the coma you can be confident you chose some strong dishes. Good prices and a big selection. Brunch doesn't always paint the most accurate portrait of what a restaurant is capable of, but Rye's is damn good.
Charles, a minor point, but Leawood extends to 155th Street. Mission Farms actually is in the northern part of the city, not, as you say, "at the southern tip."
Judging by the fact you can't and haven't been able to get a table there since they opened, I think they'll probably be open far more then a year. The patio alone brings people from all over the neighborhood and it hasn't even opened yet.
$34 for a fried chicken......ha ha ha....the jokes on the morons who buy into the hype. It will be closed in 1 year, like all the other overpriced, tres cool jerkoff run restaurants that have opened there. BFD>
Why did it open in Mission Farms, of all places? I can only imagine the rent must have been low because the last half-dozen restaurants there failed. Best of luck to the Garrelts, but after the novelty wears off, that is a real tough location to manage.
We have been 4 times now. The front of house is getting better with consistency and understanding the menu. Food and bar wise everything is top notch. Only 1 time did the chicken wings taste a little funky and we emptied 1/3 of the hot sauce to zing it up (2 large orders). Everyone we have taken (and we agree) feel very comfortable in the space...its just relaxed.
I'm pretty sure there's a supplemental charge for that.
Unfortunately my dad went out of business but we still sell the food every now and then to our friends and neighbors. I miss spending time in the little restaurant with my dad and friends. oh well thats business for yah.
They better watch out with getting lazy on the smokestack series. This is farmhouse ale and coffee. Doesn't really seem like they are trying as much as they were last year. Grainstorm was decidedly mediocre.
hey I hope they serve chicago style hot dogs, the perfect thing to pair with cheap wine......yeehaw. I guess the hillbillies strolling around the plaza window shopping need somewhere to eat too!
why are you people writing more than one sentence, bored? lonely? want to be heard? haha humans. simple, this place is gross, will be shut down soon, everything comes from a can, id rather eat homeless people food (vienaa sausage, crackers)
werd to yo motha
The trio of medallions he mentioned was excellent....even for $29. It came with wasabi mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was out of this world. I was unimpressed with the wine.
hehehehe charlie so funny he say republican go to stripper club hehehe i laughing so much hard!!!! he should win gold medal for best writer in olympics i vote for him!!!!!!! oh ya ps i hear yesterday republicans like to eat puppies for dinner, they so dumb!!
Been to Sosa's once and probably won't go back. We went the first couple weeks after it opened and got horrible service and the food was subpar. Our regular waiter didn't seem to no anything about the menu and overall appeared to have very little experience in the service industry. I say "regular" waiter because several other people came over and kept talking to us during our meal. One was a middle aged man who appeared to be a manager or owner. He was trying very hard to be folksy but ultimately (after quizzing me about music and grabbing up a straw wrapper from our table while we ate), he felt like my dad. Another woman introduced herself as the owner and seemed nice enough. Anyway, the point is that I don't want to talk to three different people several times while I'm trying to eat. The meatloaf muffin was pretty disgusting as well. Dare I say, I miss Mama's!??!?!?
Had Sosa's on Sunday the 27th at about 1pm. We probably missed a small rush, as indicated by our server. We were quickly seated, but the place was certainly bustling. Had breakfast - coffee was decent and I got a refill. I ordered a south of the border omelet with a side of their home made hot sauce. It was quality. Side of sliced new potatoes probably could have been a bit crispier but I'll ask for that next time. My lady got a mixed breakfast with two rather gnarly pancakes. Those were serious.
We'll be going back. We also have a buy one entree get one half off coupon to burn.
