Eats & Drinks

Here are a few of our favorite places to enjoy around downtown Kansas City! Anywhere in the Crossroads area would be perfect for hanging out and grabbing a drink between the ceremony and reception.

King G - Bar and Delicatessen

500 East 18th Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

"Cool vibes, good sandwiches" - Sam when he was asked why he liked this place. Right down the block from the reception venue!

Parlor

1707 Locust Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

A two-story food hall with different options for everyone. This was where Sam and Ken celebrated their engagement! And it's approximately 3 steps from the reception venue!

Lifted Spirits Distillery

1734 Cherry Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

You want to try a locally distilled shot of Absinthe and get a little crazy? This is where you should go. If that's not your thing, they have many other delicious cocktails to sample. No food here, though!

Mean Mule Distilling Co.

1733 Locust Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

Tequila, tequila, and more tequila. Western vibes and strong drinks, but no food here either! This is also right down the block from the reception venue!

Boulevard Brewing Company

2501 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108

The quintessential Kansas City beer. Check out their beer hall for all the latest, greatest, and best Boulevard has to offer. And get a bunch of snacks to share!

Casual Animal Brewing Co

1725 McGee Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

Sam's favorite beer, Solar Tiger, is brewed here! Great vibes, lots of plants, and near the reception venue.

Kansas City Taco Company, KC Taco Company

528 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO 64106

Our first date! Take the street car (free!) down to the River Market district and try our favorite taco spot! Ken gets the chorizo avocado taco and Sam gets the thai chili shrimp taco. And of course you can't forget the loaded queso! Other great places in the area include Varsity Club (drinks and burgers), Harry's Country Club (bar food and great outdoor area), and Betty Rae's (the best ice cream there is).

Q39 - Midtown

1000 West 39th Street, Kansas City, MO 64111

Sam & Ken's go-to BBQ. Onion straws for the table, a burnt end sandwich, and a side of mac and cheese... you can't go wrong here! If you're looking for more barbecue options, check out Joe's KC or JackStack.

La Bodega

703 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108

They've got tapas and great red sangria (get a pitcher to share!)

Messenger Coffee Co. + Ibis Bakery

1624 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108

Sam's go-to coffee. It has ambiance, freshly baked bread and pastries, and a rooftop that overlooks downtown!

Mildred's Food + Drink

1901 Wyandotte Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

"Good cinnamon roll and good coffee" - Sam's take on this Crossroads coffee spot.

McLain's Bakery

201 East Gregory Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64114

Don't think, just order the smothered burrito. One of our favorites... we are here almost every weekend for breakfast!

Red Door Woodfired Grill

6324 Brookside Plaza, Kansas City, MO 64113

Easy spot for apps and a good meal on a Friday night. Haven't had a bad meal here yet! The Brookside area is a favorite of the Reller family

The Russell Restaurant & Catering Company

3141 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64111

Soups, salads, and an amazing burger. Don't be scared of some of the nearby construction, this place is delicious!

Pizza 51

5060 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO 64112

Can't go wrong with a thin slice of pizza!

Peanut on Main

5000 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64112

Best buffalo wings in KC. But don't sleep on the BLT either...
