Whether you’re looking for a boozy brunch, a meal to charm your in-laws, or some greasy chow to help alleviate your weekend antics, look no further for your Sunday meal than right here. (Of course, hours are subject to change + holidays, so it’s always smart to call before you go!)
Westport Café - 10am-12am
A swanky French bistro located in the heart of Westport that serves modern French dishes alongside upscale comfort food. Enjoy escargot followed by seared scallops or relax with French nachos and a burger. Whatever you choose pair it with a craft cocktail or French wine.
Vietnam Café - 9am-7:30pm
Some of the best Vietnamese food in the city. Noodles in brown sauces, crispy eggrolls, and crunchy vegetables can be found throughout the menu. The casual diners have two locations in Midtown and the River Market. Don’t miss out on the pho!
Pigwich - 9am-7pm
A sister business to the Local Pig butcher shop means that all meat served at this gourmet sandwich shop are locally sourced. The casual, counter-service joint offers a select beer menu and specialties such as meatball banh mis, cornflake fried chicken sandwiches, and a truffle and cheddar burger. Whatever their limited off-menu item special is, I trust them.
Thai House – 12pm-9pm
A cozy, unpretentious restaurant serving up authentic Thai food and fantastic service. The absolute must-trys are the appetizer of crab rangoon and phad sea eaw entrée (flat rice noodles stir fried with baby bokchoy, broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, eggs, and smothered with soy sauce).
Q39 - 11am-9pm
A can’t-go-wrong barbecue joint serving an elevated menu full of competition-quality meats. Both locations in Midtown and Overland Park have large dining rooms and laid-back atmospheres. Pair a craft cocktail with the Best Wings on the Planet or burnt end sandwich topped with onion straws.
Café Gratitude – 11:30-8pm
Café Gratitude is a vegan restaurant located in the Crossroads Arts District. The menu of locally sourced plant-based dishes is extensive but the delicious vegan desserts are not to be missed. Drink options include coffee, juices, wine, and beer.
Gram and Dun – 9:30am-9pm
Residing within the bustling Country Club Plaza, Gram and Dun is an upscale dining experience that dishes familiar favorites such as chicken and waffles for brunch and burnt end mac and cheese for dinner. The large patio pairs well with the libations menu.
Sushi Mido – 12-3pm – 4-9pm
A hidden gem in Shawnee, Kansas, this sushi restaurant serves an extensive menu of all-you-can-eat and made-to-order-rolls. The volcano roll is highly recommended. Don’t forget the sake!
Filling Station (Midtown location) – 7am-6pm
Each Filling Station location throughout the metro is different but the Midtown location provides the most extensive food menu to accompany its larger space (patio included). Traditional coffeehouse brews are offered alongside substantial lunch options of veggie-packed power bowls, grilled cheese and breakfast sandwiches, and raw juices.
Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio – 6am-10pm
This taco shop is not technically a restaurant, as seating is limited, but you can’t beat these authentic street tacos made with house made tortillas. Choose from the many protein options and stop by the condiment bar to dress your tacos to the nines. Check out the market and grab a bag of tamales while you’re there!
