Mildred's in Midtown KC is a fast casual sandwich spot with an open kitchen layout that will quickly find a special place in your heart. The restaurant is a lively place to be at and offers outdoor seating, spots near the open kitchen, and a separate indoor dining area to choose from.
As soon as you enter through the main door, you'll see outdoor or window side seating areas, with the menu displayed and an ordering kiosk on the left. When I walked in, the line was short, moved quickly, and the staff was friendly and easy to talk to and the service was fairly quick.
The restaurant offers our breakfast brunch and lunch menu along with a bunch of vegan and gluten-free food options and all the food is decently priced. If you compare it with the local breakfast shops, Mildred definitely stand outs to be more affordable. The portion size is not too big so I feel One could still be hungry even after having one sandwich without a drink.
We ordered the Guacamole Chicken Club and the Ham and Swiss sandwich. Both sandwiches were tasty, but the clear winner was the Ham and Swiss. It had a perfectly balanced flavor from savory and meaty to hints of garlic. The generous portion of ham paired well with the toasted bun, making it a real treat.
While placing my order, I asked the staff to make sure the chicken in the guacamole chicken club was juicy, since grilled chicken can often turn out dry. She mentioned it was pre-prepared but assured me she'd make sure it came out juicy.
The Guacamole Chicken Club was good too, though the guacamole was under seasoned or not seasoned at all. It tasted like plain mashed avocado, which was fresh and enjoyable but it overpowered the rest of the sandwich!! The chicken itself was juicy and well prepared. Overall, the sandwiches were of amazing quality and flavor.
I also grabbed a drip coffee, which cost around 4 dollars for a 16-ounce cup and it was refreshing what havewith the sandwiches. The sandwiches came with a bag of Boulder Chips, cooked in avocado oil, and I thought they paired well with the light, fresh vibe of the sandwiches.
We chose to sit near the open kitchen area. Personally, I found it a bit loud because of the foot traffic, but it still felt warm and welcoming to be there. The restaurant has a decent sized menu, offering everything from breakfast options to lunch items. The sandwiches lean more toward lunch time food, but we had them for breakfast and had no regrets.
This specific location has live music on first Fridays as well. I also loved the breakfast inspired cute deli paper designs and my favorite one was the dancing bacon.
Overall, I think you'd enjoy this vibrant sandwich spot. If you're hoping for a quiet breakfast, it's best to arrive right when they open or during late lunch hours. I would happily rate the experience 5/5.
