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.
I bet if you're going to these places at 3 AM then you're drunk and probably driving. Unless you play for the Chiefs you're probably going to jail later. Good luck.
You must be joking about Sosa's "juicy, perfectly grilled burgers." The one I got was overcooked — asked for it medium rare but it arrived medium well — and shaped more like a small football than a patty, and if that wasn't bad enough it tasted funny. I took two bites and stopped eating. I am never going back there but I'm sure they won't miss me with all the drunk and noisy patrons they'll surely get.
We used to hit The Wornall Restaurant aka Top o' the Wornall while hammered at 3am.
Good B&G's.
I've had Huddle House and its decent but its basically just a Waffle House rip off
I've had one Sosa's experience so far; very unremarkable. Food was average at best, order was not all there (much like our server), and confusion over wording on the menu led to being overcharged. Admittedly this happened less than a week after the place opened so I'll give them a few weeks and go back for another try. I want them to succeed.
what about some good ol yj's?
Not sure we went to the same Sosa's. 1st trip, long wait for food, empty coffee cup, order wrong. Second trip, I was the first in line for seating, they had empty tables, however were not seating. The reason given was they were waiting for the kitchen to catch up. After a 30 min wait for a table, we still waited another 20 min for a cup of coffee, never got a re-fill. Waited another 10 min to order. Food never came, waited 40 min after ordering, and gave up. Tables that had been seated after us, had finished their meals and were waiting for the ticket. Asked to speak to the Manager on our way out. He wanted to "shake" my hand and thank us for our patronage. Told him that that 1 1/2 hours was enough, we were done. He did not seem bothered by it. Will not give it a 3rd try
OK, you've thoroughly frightened me away from Huddle House for a while.
I did go back to Sosa's for breakfast Saturday. Quite a crowd, but it still took 15-20 minutes to get our food. BUT....when our order arrived, it was hot, and it was very good. A Bloody Mary sure would have been nice though.
I'll wait another couple of weeks and see if the pace doesnt pick up before I try them at lunch, when I'm on an incredibly short chain.
Ah yes, industrial strength wine.
If you arent paying at least $15 a bottle (at a liquor store), you're pretty much getting pure sugar.
It kills me when a fancy joint sells a $7 bottle for $20.
Cooper's Hawk does not make everything from scratch, I work there and I know this for a fact. Sure, several dishes are made from scratch but most of it comes from Sysco. The grapes come from California, Oregon and Washington and are bottled in Illinois. This place is very corporate though. I've worked at lots of different restaurants and this is the most strict and corporate place I've been. I've tried all their wines and I love wine, I only liked three that are made by Cooper's Hawk. Most of their wine is average to below average. The President used their wine at his first inauguration and only because they are made in Illinois, where he's from.
Very cool layout, but the food and wine are below average.
ndm1984 is seriously mistaken. Biemer's BBQ is amazing, i dream about it. Planning a trip to Lawrence just to visit my favorite restaurants, and Biemers is included in that list.
Just made it out to Murray's last week... the food was really good and our waitress was really nice. The menu has changed since this was written, but for the better it seems. The sliders were amazing, and he knows what he's doing with bbq. The sirloin tip slider i got was a little on the small side... with one tiny piece of steak flattened out papper thin and the bread far outweighing the main attraction. Our credit card was also charged twice, and we ended up having to call the bank to set it straight. Other than that, this place was great and we will be going back
who are the assholes giving every comment that reccomends this place a thumbs-down? Probably the jealous owners, servers, and bartenders from next door and around the corner. This place was great, and the service and staff were all very nice. Met the owner, and enjoyed the conversation. I was here for lunch, and although lunch is never the bast time to try any new place (dinner is where it's at) our food was really good. i will definitely be going back
Um, yes. The wines are all bottled in Illinois, by the way. The grapes come from the West Coast.
This place is awesome! The staff in the tasting are very knowledgeable and friendly. The wines are very good (not from Illinois by the way) and the food was even better. Our server, Alex was great. This restaurant will do well here. I can't wait to go back!
Cooper's Hawk is an amazing restaurant. My fiance and I went there this week to celebrate our one year anniversary and we loved it! She had the Red Wine and Mustard Short Ribs and they were to die for. I gave the Soy Ginger Salmon a try and it was by far the best Salmon dish I've ever experienced in Kansas City. The staff there were extremely friendly and informative, much more so than what I've ever experiences from a restaurant on the plaza. Now about all this comparison to Cheesecake Factory, just because they're both corporate doesn't make them the same thing with a different logo. Unlike Cheesecake, Cooper's Hawk cooks their food from scratch. That places it far above the corporate standard in my opinion. Also, they crush their wines in Illinois but their grapes are imported from California. I found out that their wines were used at the president's inauguration, if it's high class enough to be used by the president I'm sure that it's plenty good enough for everyone else.
Re: “Cooper's Hawk swoops onto the Plaza”
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.
