The Krave — Restaurant in Raytown

For starters this was a resturant that I’ve heard great things about and I’m all for supporting small local businesses. I was super excited to offer this resturant as a dinner option to my husband when he offered to pay. We walked in and were greeted promptly and met with cold water. The music play was really good and there was a variety. After about 20 minutes me and my family agreed on what to eat and placed our order. We knew it was going to be coming our “fresh” so we expected at 15-20 minute wait. 30 minutes went by and no food. A table came in after us and had already gotten their food. We waited another 10-15 minutes still no food this time a party of about 10-12 people had come in and our waiter proceeded to tell us after at this point almost a hour of us waiting on our food that the bigger party would be served first and after waiting a hour to wait 15 more minutes and it would be out. 15 minutes goes by and she finally brings my husband the soda he ordered over a hour ago. The waiter then tells us I’m sorry but it’s taken this long because I actually made a mistake and I don’t want you to be charged for it by I’m not a manager so I have to wait for my manager to fix it. My initial thought is why would I be charged for a mistake I didn’t make. After almost a hour and a half food finally arrive but only 3/4 of the table my husband had to wait an additional 10 mins for his burger and fries. The food was okay more so something I could make at home myself and spend less money. For 4 people two of them being children age 1 and 2 the bill was $54 dollars and some change. We ordered two Mac and cheese bowls 1 soda and a burger. Make sure your paying with card or have exact change because they do not give change back. For the inconvenience of over a hour wait and subpar food we got offered free lemonade. For a restaurant I was super excited to visit I definitely won’t...

The ONLY thing this place has going for it is the Vine the DJ creates! The food is not seasoned and taste bad. They have a no refund and no exchange policy! I see why their food is terrible and would be refunding everyone! They charge a 20% gratuity per table of five or more! The problem with this is you have to stand in a line to order your own food and drinks! Then you have to wait for somebody to bring the food and drink to the table. Then anytime you want to order additional drinks or food you have to go back and stand in line again and they charge you another 20% because you're sitting at a table with more than five people. That they are not serving! So please explain your gratuity per ticket per order! Complete and utter foolishness! A few of the younger young ladies working we're really sweet and nice. However the older women to include the owners; their attitudes are poor and should not be in service! They don't speak they're not friendly and they walk around with scals on their face like they are so busy that they forget that they're actually serving people! Oh don't ask them for nothing they look at you crazy like it's a problem! They will "eventually" get you what you need, but they act like you're bothering them! The vibe in the atmosphere was good! The DJ was good he played to the crowd! The customer service and the food (Lemon Pepper Wings-no flavor; Onion Rings-burnt; Mac and Cheese-nasy; Aoli Coleslaw-just why, potatoes and onions-chopped and no flavor; Shrimp Ramen Noodle bowl with and egg- decent) hard pass! NOT worth...

While visiting KC for an event on 8/31/24, our group of 6 adults needed some decent yet speedy food. We found crave on a Google search and it seemed to be the only place open at 8:30pm on Saturday night. So, we went in and seated ourselves quickly. There were very few people there and we assumed it would speedy. We were very wrong. The very polite young man approached our table quickly and greeted us while getting drunk orders. He advised we could view the menu via QR code or physical menu. While we decided on our individual food orders, there was enjoyable music playing and a vibrant, urban decorative vibe to enjoy. Once we all decided and places orders, the wait began. Long, long wait. To be fair, there was an advisory on the menu that indicated food was prepared fresh and to anticipate up to 25 minutes for food. They told the truth! As you can see, I got the most aesthetically pleasing, delicious chicken Caesar salad of my life that night! Large portion size. My ticket was $26 for one salad and ice tea. 5 stars to the chef. We were late to our event due to leaving dinner close to 10pm when Krave closes I think. Overall, I would return if I didn't have anything scheduled to attend. I think there was a fire in the kitchen after they closed so not sure of the damages or if it reopened. Can't wait to come back...
