Was in town for the weekend and wanted something off the beaten path. This place is amazing. Biscuits and Gravy were so good, I went back the next day for seconds.

Get a half-order of biscuits and gravy and dredge your fluffy scrambled egg sandwich with the peppery gravy .

David Pitts

Outstanding biscuits and gravy , probably the best I've had. Bacon and eggs also quite good. Also the coffee . Just go here and eat. Now.

Guy Fieri's most recent visit to KC brought him to this soup ‘n sandwich joint in Columbus Park . Here, he watched the husband-wife team put twists on authentic lunch and brunch favorites.

Bluejay Chip

Had their Biscuit French Toast , Everything Salmon , and the Chicken Torta sandwich ....it was all awesome...definitely going back.

I you get the Happy Gillis breakfast sandwich , ask for some gravy and dip it in. 10x better than either on their own, and that says a lot since it's all good food.

Crab roll and the apple and brie grilled cheese were fantastic. Loved the locally made coffee mugs!

Salmon is great people thought about this place before they threw it together. If there is a better place in kc I have not found it yet.

Must have for breakfast a Keller-esque BLT. It's the best BLT on earth. Really you can go wrong with anything on the menu. It's also a great place just to hang out!

Had the chicken torta and was disappointed as it was mostly dark meat chicken and had some fat and skin in the mix. Disappointed since everyone else loves this place.

Breakfast sandwich is amazing!

Make sure you order your food before you take a table...you might hear a passive aggressive rant from one of their staff if you break that rule. Maybe the guy is having a bad day.

Pig and beans is excellent!
