The 33 Best Restaurants in Kansas City | Eater

"Lean into the city’s cow town reputation at this faithfully restored 1949 steakhouse in the historic Stockyards District. The Golden Ox claims to be the birthplace of the Kansas City strip, but the menu’s packed with other midcentury steakhouse classics too, including oysters Rockefeller, plate-busting porterhouses, and creamy cocktails such as the Pink Squirrel. If dessert drinks aren’t your speed, grab a nightcap at the adjoining Stockyards Brewery to revel in the Western aesthetic a little longer. Must-try dish: The Ox is one of the best places to try Kansas City Steak Soup, another iconic local dish." - Liz Cook
