Kate's Kitchen — Restaurant in Kansas City

What a long 1 hour and 15 minute drive to get here from Lenexa KS. But if the crowd is an indication of this restaurant serving great food, the long drive and 20 minute wait are worth it. First off, they are generous with their condiments: I ordered tea and they gave me a hot water carafe and a plate of 7 different tea bags and honey. Water is served in a pitcher. Jelly packs piled high on your table. Staff is very friendly. Leah was very patient with me trying to figure out whether I want salad, omelet, sandwich or ??? I first ordered the healthy start which is egg white omelet but she suggested the salmon sandwich which she claims is very fresh grilled salmon. You get 2 sides with the sandwich so I picked Cole slaw and fresh fruit. The salmon sandwich was really delicious: salmon was fresh, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwich was a brioche bun, laced with a great tasting spread/dressing, topped with mixed greens. The fresh fruit was good, just wish there was more of it, maybe wish served in the same size dish as the cold slaw…?? Cole slaw was also fresh and the dressing was perfect. An expected experience came when I was told my bill was paid for by a local frequent patron. Thank you so much for your generosity. It really tells me of the heart of this city, with good gracious values. I will make sure to...

The staff was very friendly, and the other customers really seemed to be enjoying their food, so it may have been a fluke that our experience was so unpleasant.

The wait was about twenty minutes (which was very short for Sunday brunch), but we almost missed our table, because they had written down the wrong name for us. We were seated at a table that still had a tip on it from the last customer, which made me wonder if the table was clean. The table also had two empty water glasses and a pitcher of water for five people. The pitcher was never refilled, and more glasses never came.

It was a bit before we could order, which was understandable, as it was very busy, but, when we received our food, it was not quite right for any of us.

My over medium eggs were almost raw. My husband and son were both given bread that was different than what they ordered. Our potatoes were cold and undercooked. My other son and daughter had both their meals inexplicably combined onto one plate (two orders of waffles).

The cinnamon roll icing tasted like bacon drippings, as did the home fries.

The butter on the waffles seemed to be a whipped spread and not actual butter.

I can see how this would be a favorite spot for some people, and it clearly is. It just wasn't what I was expecting from a locally owned...

Stopped here on the way back from Chief's training camp in St Joe to Kansas City. It was about 7 minutes out on the way and definitely worth the stop! The breakfast menu has actual unique options like a smoked brisket omelette and corned beef hash beni. I actually wish I could have ordered two things off the menu! If my husband had the corned beef sandwich and I took a bite and it was also quite amazing! Ordered a cinnamon roll to go and the lovely waitress gave it to us for free since it was our first visit. It looks delicious! There is another location in Kansas that we have not tried since we didn't know this existed until today. But that I'm looking forward to trying that when I'm in the area next! Prices were exceptionally reasonable. The smoked brisket omelette was less than $12 and huge. In fact, I didn't see anything on the menu that was over $12. I also worried about stopping because I was just anxious to get home. But the food came out very quickly even though they were Saturday at noon busy. We waited maybe less than 10 minutes after placing our order to get our food. Best of all, they give you a picture of water and coffee carafe if you order coffee. So you don't have to endlessly...
