Three high school classmates and I had a mini reunion and everyone loved our dinner at Rye! We all shared the family style fried chicken dinner and a few sides. The whipped ricotta appetizer and wedge salads were delicious! The Blueberry cobbler was superb! Sorry no fried chicken pics but it was truly delicious! Excellent meal, service and atmosphere!! Thank you!!

Second visit to this location but the same enjoyable meal. Monday nights are steak night. Your choice of a hanger, ribeye, filet or a pork chop plus a salad, a side, and a slice of pie. All of this for $50. Simply scrumptious. We ordered the ribeye and the hanger and it was amazing.

Went in for a Sunday fall brunch with a group of 6. Was seated quickly in the back in a cute nook area. The server was a little slow on taking orders but the food came out relatively quickly. I ordered the smoked salmon bagel, which did not say that it was a deconstructed version of this. I actually double checked the menu when it came out to make sure I didn’t miss this. I then spent the next 10 minutes creating my bagel. If I wanted to make my own food, I would have done that at home. The cocktails were good and the food for the remainder of the table was good. The server was helpful but I was disappointed with a deconstructed meal. For one cocktail and the bagel it was $30 which was good value for a brunch spot. Perhaps if I’d ordered something different I would have been more pleased with the experience, as I said the other food on the table was quite good (and not deconstructed).

Enjoyed a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner at Rye with my fiancé tonight! The service was fantastic. The restaurant has a very cozy, elevated southern comfort ambiance about it. The best part is that the food is locally sourced! You could tell each dish was made of high quality ingredients. Our favorite dish tonight was the burger which was cooked a perfect medium rare. Our server was so sweet to give us some valentines treats with our to-go brownie! Definitely a spot I recommend for date night!

Most excellent in all regards. Cocktails are unique and top notch. Servers are knowledgeable and personable. Food is off the chart! Blackened Duroc chop on polenta was amazing. Shrimp and grits are unreal. The brick chicken with slow growth hen cooked to perfection. Fried chicken has no par anywhere. (We have had all these over the course of several visits, menu is seasonal, so no telling what will be offering, but all so good)

Lovely spot nestled at the back of Mission Farms with a tasty menu (the app section is elite and the fried chicken is amazing) and a beautiful ambience. Patio in the warmer months is a vibe, great place for an after-work beverage. A fave!

Good food, steak was super and the sides are all delicious. Try the house drink, it's like an old fashioned but better!

Very clean and modern look. Dan was our bartender and he made us refreshing cocktails, one of which had poblano liqueur. The coffee and cigarettes cocktail has the best hint of tobacco. We tried the Shrimp and Grits as well as the Hanger Steak and fries. The mushroom toast is phenomenal. I highly recommend. One small critique....the hostess at the door what somewhat rude. She had long blonde hair. How you are greeted sets an impression. Be happy people are coming in. Other than that, great job!

You can't go home again or can you? We revisited a tradition of enjoying significant dates with dinner at Rye. Never have we been disappointed. Usually it was Christmas Eve but tonight an anniversary. My standard shrimp and grits with brisket was as usual fantastic. Much different because the brisket and broth make it so much more rich. Her wedge salad included grated egg adding a nice complement to the bacon and dressing. The Kansas City strip (no stockyards in NY) was cooked perfectly. I know because I snuck a bite while she was tasting her Bonanza Cabernet. The side of creamed spinach with leeks and almond slivers was something we plan to try at home. It will never match the flavor but still going to try. Dessert was banana cream pie for me and homemade vanilla ice cream for her. Snuck another bite, wow! Our server was attentive to the perfect degree. She was assisted by runners bringing the dishes out. They warned us the spinach dish was nuclear hot. Neither had to ask which one had which dish. A small thing but it should always be that way. At Rye it is. The space is beautiful and perfectly designed for classy home cooking. It is also loud. Everything here is exactly as these two James Beard award chefs want it to be and I'm sure this is a conscious decision. Whether you live in the area or are visiting, Rye deserves a visit. So take a break from all the wonderful local barbecue and enjoy some home cooking.

This place is only getting two stars from me because their French toast is really good but everything else didn't live up to the hype. I have been hearing about Rye for a long time, It's a favorite among many that I know including Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, so I decided to give their brunch a try rather than food. I ordered their Pecan Fried Chicken and French toast. Their fried chicken, yes I liked cause it is strips but flavor...hello, where are you? This was the most bland chicken I have ever had. When I asked for honey mustard the server told me they didn't have any but I could make my own...what?!? She said the chef wouldn't make it but she could bring Dijon mustard and mayo out for me to make it MYSELF. If I wanted to cook or make things, I would've stayed at home, so I declined and asked for ketchup. The French Toast was one of the best that I have had at a restaurant. The plate had scattered pecan and granola clusters and they were tasty. I also ordered the smoked salmon with eggs Benedict and a mixed green fennel salad. The salmon was very scarce. The English muffin the eggs Benedict were sitting on was hard as a rock. The salad was flavorful! Their shining star are their pastries and I was blown away by their cinnamon roll, it was fantastic. I will be back for that, but anything else no thank you. They need to learn their seasonings. Also for comfort food they are way too overpriced.

What a lovely place! My dining companion, and I had a wonderful lunch here on a Thursday in the spring and it was delightful. Our server never gave us her name, but she was lovely. The ambience here is very fine and the food was just delicious! I would recommend Rye anyone. We both had the fried chicken salad to which they had recently added strawberries, in addition to the goat cheese, rhubarb, and spinach. it was lovely as worthy free range deviled eggs. I will be back and I will bring my wife. Delightful!

Rye Leawood is a consistent option if you'll be staying in suburbia and would like to have a satisfying meal with good service. The French Blonde, Gimme Shelter, Rhubarb Gin Spritz and Coffee & Cigarettes were the cocktails enjoyed by our table that we all tasted. Roasted Red Beets Salad add Chicken is a great choice if you want to continue the evening after a light meal and frankly, we realized we should have shared one between two girls as the portion is very generous. Ambiance-wise on a Saturday night was 60 to 75-year olds mixed with our table of 30's/40's ladies and a few tables of prom kids so quite random.

My husband and I visited Rye for a Saturday date night. The space is beautiful, and the service was great! Our server was very attentive, and came to check on us several times throughout the meal. The drinks and food were delicious as well. It is southern comfort food, so the portions are large, and the food is rich. We ordered cheese curds for our starter, and the fried chicken and hanger steak for our entrees. We subbed the side of fries for a side of mashed potatoes. We liked everything we tried. The steak was cooked perfectly. I had asked for the steak to be medium, and it was more medium-rare, but it was super juicy and flavorful. The chimichurri was a perfect complement to the steak, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious (swimming in butter). The fried chicken lived up to the hype; the skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was tender and flavorful. It was seasoned well. We also ordered a cinnamon roll to take home with us and this did not disappoint. The roll itself was as large as my face, and my son and I really enjoyed it the next morning at home. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Rye. If you are in the mood for some southern comfort food or a delicious steak, this is the place to go!

Fantastic service that is super friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Vegan option below is the Spinach and Beat salad without cheese. You can add extra fruits and toppings to the salad to make it more filling. If you order fries, make sure to get a side of gravy to dip it in! You definitely get your money's worth with the portions.

We visited last month for a date night the weekend of the Super Bowl and a few days before Valentine's Day. It was hubby's first time and my second time in a few years. If you are a fan of the original location on the Plaza, here is an overview of our experience at this location: Location: 9/10 Rye is located in upscale Mission Farms off of 435. This area is robust for their shopping and other eating options. It is a great place for date night or happy hour with friends. Parking is plentiful but can be a bit tricky during peak times. Customer Service 8.5/10 We arrived right before the dinner rush on a Saturday evening, so the crowd was moderately crowded. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and we were seated quickly. There was not a lot of diversity among the staff, which could use some improvement. Our server was very sweet and accommodating. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and kept our waters filled. Flashlights Required: 4/10 Ambiance and good music is a plus. We enjoy the open concept kitchen that you can peer into, which was cool. However, ambiance can be compromised when you have other patrons pulling out their phone flashlights to see the menu. They can definitely undim the up-lighting so people are not struggling to read the menu or see their partner's face. Food: 4/10 We waited a while for the food to come, but that is because they make it to order. My husband and I ordered the fried chicken and got shareable sides - mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The food was hot, fresh and it had good flavor but the sides were definitely NOT shareable. We appreciated the large and generous chicken portions - you get three large pieces of chicken each. Though the coating had an okay flavor, the chicken itself lacked flavor and was pretty dry. The mashed potatoes definitely needed the gravy and the mac and cheese was pretty mid. The sides were $10.75 each! We also would have appreciated getting bread with our meal. Our meal was well over $130, which was not worth it at all. Maybe the portion sizes of the sides increasing would make it worth it, but wow. Overall: 6.5/10 The low rating is for the price of the meal. The food is way overpriced for what it is. The fried chicken had an okay flavor, but the sizes of the sides do not match the price point. For us, this would not be a place we come to often, unless it were for a happy hour and small plates. It is a lovely restaurant in a great location, but it will be quite some time before we visit again.

Food - consistently good but Expensive! Service - very good attentive but not overbearing Ambiance - steak house vibes Rye in KC - plaza or Mission Farms is one heck of a steakhouse restaurant. Hadn't been here in over a year due to their egregiously inflated steak prices, even as of 3/3/2024. For brunch (ryekc.com) best value is the Rye Breakfast but this time I got the Steak and Eggs. Super flank steak, cooked to your liking, sliced into 10 pieces. Comes with a killer Pesto Sauce, and two eggs made how you want. Their coffee is tasty however you like your coffee, with or w/o sugar and cream. Their pie is better than Tippens/Pippens for those of you who recall that historical KC brand. My only beef with them, IMHO, is their 80$ steak prices, as of this writing, both J.Gilberts AND Capitol Grill are less expensive/ better value for the price.

Food 4/5: Cheese Curds, Pickled Vegetables, USDA Prime Daily Grind Burger * The cheese curds were crunchy, delicious, and paired with the sauce, it was a great combination. * It was my first time having pickled vegetables and they were great. The selection of vegetables was satisfying. * I requested medium for my burger and it came out as I asked which I appreciated. However, when I ordered the burger previous times, the burger had more flavor than this one which was upsetting. Although, this burger still tasted good, it was juicy, and the toppings paired well with it. * The fries were crunchy and had a good amount of salt. * The side of pickles were good and I ate them as a finisher to my meal. Service 5/5 * The server was very nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Thank you. * The server checked in at a good pace to make sure everything was good and I appreciated that. Ambiance 5/5 * Quiet, classy, and clean. It felt like a high quality restaurant and I liked that very much. Overall 4/5. I enjoyed my experience here and the only thing preventing it from being a 5/5 for me was the burger. I recommend anyone to come here to taste some great food and a good time. I will be returning to try more of their menu options.

I read in a previous review that this place is farm house elegant and I liked that description. This place is super casual in terms of how people are dressed. I wasn't expecting to pay $80 for steaks in such a casual place. Hands down one of the best steaks I've had in Kansas. Would pay pay that again we'll absolutely. If you're looking for somewhere to go for a special occasion you should go elsewhere. The service was okay. Like I said this place isn't stuffy but it's not super friendly. The steaks are delicious but pricey if you're coming for a special date. The wedge salad was my favorite salad. The New England style chowder was so flavorful. The star of the show was the delectable apple pie a la mode! Holy smokes it's seriously the best apple pie we ever had ever had. We're excited about coming back for brunch to try the famous cinnamon rolls.

Rye is a restaurant that never disappoints, and though I'd been there on several occasions for lunch and dinner, brunch at Rye was a new experience for me. We arrived at opening time with a reservation and were seated immediately. Though we had all scanned the menu before we got there, it still took a bit to make decisions on what to order. Our server was super helpful, and each person in our party of six ended up loving what they ordered. Service was impeccable. Our glasses and mugs were never empty, but we were never interrupted by our wonderful server. Rye strikes the balance between rustic farmhouse and casual elegance. It's a solid choice for a beautiful meal, what ever time of day you choose to visit!

It's been a REALLY long time since we've been back to Rye, as the first experience was one of those experiences that, for the price and the reputation, just didn't live up to the hype. After a few years away, some friends wanted to meet up here for a date night. We arrived in the heart of happy hour on Friday evening. We had a reservation, and arrived right on time. We were immediately seated upon arrival. Our waitress was prompt and attentive all evening, refreshing drinks, taking our food orders, and providing above-average attentiveness throughout our stay. There are a lot of decent food options at Rye, but the establishment is known for its fried chicken. When in Rome... I went for the three piece fried chicken option for dinner. On the positive side, I will say that the batter and skin was super crispy, done just right! However, all of my pieces were overcooked, and a bit dry. And, for a place known for it's chicken, I expected there to be much more flavor...a kick, a zing, some zest...anything at all. Unfortunately, it tasted like they forgot even the basic salt and pepper, much less some advanced concoction of flavorful spices. This tasted more like something you'd expect to get at a retirement home, where the residents are all on low sodium diets and everything is beyond-well-done, and completely lacking season and flavor. I did try a bite of my wife's pork chop dish, which was leagues better than my chicken. She and I also shared a side of brussels sprouts, which were fantastic (but, shouldn't they be for $11??). Most at our table seemed very happy with their dishes and beverages as well. So, although I might have drawn the short straw on food selection, it's difficult to give highest marks, especially since it's one of the dishes, if not THE dish, the establishment is known for. I still struggle with whether or not Rye is worth the spend... Judging by my own dinner alone, definitely not. Looking at the experience as a whole, maybe a bit closer. Food = 2/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 3/5 Ambiance = 3/5 Value = 2/5

I have been to Rye many many times over the years and appreciate their delicious fried chicken, wonderful pie(s), and lovely patio. I went last fall with my wife and we decided not to return given their menu change(s) including stupid high price increase(s). Their hanger steak is now $50+ dollars? Shrimp/grits now $30+? A good steak is now ala carte $80+?? Fuhgettaboutit. Not much available on this menu aside from a burger or fried chicken for less than $30. Drinks are expensive. Service is acceptable but not commendable. The atmosphere/interior remains unchanged and is becoming tired. My buddies picked Rye last week for an after-work meetup/dinner and I obliged. We sat at the window/rear closest to the bathroom(s). I got a burger and a couple of beers which was stupid expensive for what I received...and I didn't bother to send it back to achieve my requested 'medium' cook temp. I was inundated with gnats the entire meal. The waitress was fine....and became downright social only when close to tip-time. At least she didn't exhibit the pretension from staff that I experienced during my last couple of visits. Rye isn't a bad place.....but they have become unjustifiably 'proud' of themselves. Unless I oblige some future friend who select this place for a meetup....you can count me out. Life is too short for me to dine here again.

Love heading to Rye for corporate dinners. Jon and staff do a fantastic job taking care of our groups! Service and food are top notch!

I think the average rating of 3.8 stars is appropriate as of this review. The restaurant is dim, which would make you think it is intimate, but during mealtimes it is very loud. The tables are organized rather tightly together. Still, there is class with the ambiance both within the restaurant and outside the restaurant. Last time I visited, I didn't think the food was worth the cost in terms of taste with the exception of the Mac and Cheese family side, but at the time, I had not tried their signature fried chicken. So this time around I did try their fried chicken. The chicken was okay, but again, not worth the price when considering taste. If you are in the mood for fried chicken, I would recommend Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. If not for the waitress consistently keeping my drink full and being friendly, and the general decor of the place, I would have dropped my rating to three stars. Not likely to return here as the value is not high enough for me, but then again, I cannot afford to live near here so perhaps the value is good enough for some.

My wife and I were finally able to give Rye a try after being told by several people how good it was. They were right. It was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. We tried the chicken livers with grits, and greens. The livers were creamy, not chewy at all. The breading was crispy and flavored perfectly. Gotta be the best I've had. The grits were the perfect texture and flavor as well. Will definitely order them again down the road. We also tried the two piece chicken lunch entree. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and like the livers, the breading was perfect, and will definitely be a go to when we visit again. The mashed potatoes were great, with no lumps, and the gravy was spot on as well. We ordered a side of fries, and they were seasoned to just the right amount. We had our cinnamon roll brought out after for our dessert. It was a great sweet follow up to our savory lunch. A good size for two people to share. We tried a Bellini before our meals arrived, and I thought it was sweet and delicious, but it wasn't quite my wife's kind of drink. The service was friendly and helpful from the time we came in to the time we left. All of the wait staff were prompt and very helpful with our questions and requests. It was nice seeing friends hanging out and families eating together in the same place. We really loved the atmosphere. I found it relaxed and welcoming. We hope to visit again soon.

This was our first time at Rye and we LOVED it! The service was exceptional and the food was wonderful. We ordered the whipped goat cheese appetizer to start. It was served mixed with salt and honey (fantastic). You can spread it on the yummy bread, add prosciutto, and the delicious salad. I'm so glad we tried it! My husband had the brunch special sandwich which had onions, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce. The fries were fresh and homemade pickles were on the side. He loved it! I had the chicken sandwich. I couldn't decide if I wanted spicy or not so they served the spicy sauce in the side. It was great to try it both ways. That seasoning on the chicken is amazing! We will definitely be back to try dinner sometime soon!

You'll love the brunch at Rye. Just go and debate what to order but even using a blindfold, you'll be happy! Mile High generous & delicious French Toast? Shrimp & Grits with morsels of pulled pork?!, Salmon Avocado Toast with lovely greens and radishes on top? The heavenly potatoes are crunchy and .. downright addictive! Want the best Eggs Benedict with chef love & care to every detail? And .. 'Don't skimp! Get a drink.' Fresh OJ, delicious grapefruit juice, so-happy energetic servers won't disappoint! Go-go-go to Rye! Travis Kelse did & HEY, he can go wherever he wants!

Rye was the destination for our weekend date night and I was not let down! When we entered, we were quickly greeted afterwards and then sat. The dinning room is dimmer lit, and adds a cool ambiance to your time at Rye. Our waitress was very kind, and made our dinning experience even better! For my entree I choose the Pan-roasted scotch salmon, which was deliciously paired with wild Indian rice. This was some easily of the best salmon I have had in the KC area. Then for the family style side we choose French fries which are a classic and never disappoint. Very happy with Rye and would recommend checking it out if you haven't been here before. Will be returning in the near future!

Wanted to try something different and stumble upon a this cute little place. If you want all American food-this is one of it. Smoked salmon toast was under their appetizer selection, so I was expecting a small portion to share, nope it was one big toast of yummy goodness. This can be a whole meal itself. The mashed potatoes is to die for-so creamy and fluffy and the gravy . Cinnamon roll was big enough to share between two people. Our waitress was sweet and honest about the selection on the menu. It's a great place for a brunch date with the girls.

Was excited to get to go here. I have heard great things about this place. I made online reservation. It asked If it was a special occasion. It was our 44th anniversary. It was st Patrick's day. We were seated off to the side by the windows looking out to the patio area. Very cold. No one at any Point asked about this being a special day. My wife got a steak. It was good. But for that price I could have bought 3. I opted for a burger. G ind Of the day I believe. Dry needed salt the bun was both charred on the outside and mushy on the inside. So 85 dollars for a Bad burger and A sirloin steak. And who doesn't have corona or modello in the bottle? I'd go back maybe if They gave me a refund.

Yelp
Easy going comfortable layout. A wonderful server, just a delight. The fried chicken is all it's bragged about. They do it well here. However, starters were the cicerones. Crackling like popcorn when they arrived at my table. Full of flavor crunchy just wonderful. After dinner, I took away a banana cream pie. The graham cracker crust is some of the best I've ever had chunks of banana, smooth, silky cream was excellent. It's easy to refer this place it's a little restaurant tucked in the corner of a very upscale community. I will certainly be back.

Visited for a Wednesday evening dinner with friends and once again, Rye did not disappoint. We had reservations and were seated immediately when we arrived. The place was packed, so my recommendations would certainly be to get reservations in advance, even during the week. The cocktails, food, service and dessert were all amazing - you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I had my stand-by salmon, which I always get, but my three companions all had the burger. We ordered the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and...YUM! Don't leave Rye without having at least one dessert - we enjoyed both the Banana Cream Pie and the Chocolate Espresso Cake. One of my friends claimed it was the best banana cream pie she has ever had! I do not disagree! Because the place was so full, it was a bit noisy, so I probably wouldn't recommend if that's something that bothers you. We lingered after our meal, when the restaurant had cleared out quite a bit, and all commented how much easier it was to visit with fewer people. Pretty sure Rye will forever be on my restaurant rotation in southern Johnson County!

Rye Leawood is truly magnificent ! The chicken livers and a refreshing brunch punch were a tasty combination. The crispy texture of the chicken livers provided a satisfying contrast to their rich flavor, atop of the most delicious cheddar grits. Rye was such a perfect choice for Father's Day, with the great service and family style seating. I had the opportunity to try small bites from my parents plates, and everything was superb. The brunch punch added a nice touch to my meal.

Casey S.

I've tried Rye a few times- well about 6-8 times over a few years. On the Plaza breakfast & brunch seem to be great. Dinner was a bit of a mess 3 times we've visited. They price is high for what we get- filet, chicken pot pie, fried chicken and caesar salad. Filet- good but super expensive Fried chicken- average nothing super good for the price Chicken pot pie- I could've been great but the veg were not cooked, temp warm to cool and not enough bag for the buck. Caesar salad- ok but a bit "warm" Goat cheese apps- wonderful Deviled eggs- very good Wings- meh Confetti cheesecake- ok Special fancy drink w/gin- I forget the name- great I've tried dinner enough at this place. There were 6 of us a few had apps, a few dessert so we got to tried many things but for $480 just not good enough.

Came to enjoy the Leawood location as we usually dine at the plaza. The restaurant is really classy/cute. We decided to eat here and watch the Chiefs game and enjoy restaurant week. We ordered a bottle of Cabernet and the 6 of us tried different entrees so we could test multiple items. We also tried the Old Square whiskey. The presentation was fun and the taste was "ok". It didn't start off well as my husbands and my Caesar salads were incredibly dry. It was as though there was no dressing at all. We had to ask for more dressing to be brought and that didn't help. It was dry and not very flavorful so we would recommend skipping the salad. I ordered the potato gnocchi and added flank steak as a protein to it. I'm glad I did as the gnocchi was super dry and very filling. I had 2 bites and was instantly full. My children each tried the chicken and dumplings, the half dried chicken with Mac and cheese and the salmon. Each of them were very happy with their meals. The atmosphere and service were amazing. And the food was good. The price is really high/expensive, so expect a large check.

It's a pretty, comfortable restaurant. We had really good service. The food was a little meh to me. I had a Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Mom had Pecan Fried Chicken and French Toast. She really liked her meal, probably a lot better than I liked mine. The chicken was really bland. I mean, the chicken was good quality and cooked perfectly but the breading had no flavor. The "spicy" sauce was mostly on the bread which made the bread into mush. It also didn't really taste that spicy to me, it was maybe like a spicy syrup, I guess I should have asked more questions. I would go back yes, but this meal didn't do it for me.

Erin T.

Yelp
Loud. Tables wayyyy too close together. Food was disappointing. Very bland chicken (needed salt, not available on the table) served with overpowering ham gravy... competed too strongly with the poultry. Shrimp and grits boring also, average at best. Server was the bartender as well... never came back (to ask her for salt) tho we could see her prepping at the bar. I'd been there a few years ago and it was great, but it's sadly gone downhill.

My friend and I went here for their Duckhorn wine/dinner pairing. The cost advertised was $125 per person. But once fees/gratuities were added, it was $165/ per person. Keep that in mind. They held the event in a private room at the restaurant. They sit you at huge tables. This means you are sitting with other people. I wasn't a fan of this because I felt like I had to yell across the table to speak to my fiend. The first course had to be shared by the table which once again was not a fan. I think each reservation should have shared. Overall, I got try some food and wine that have never tried before. The food was incredible and presented very well. The only item I didn't care for was dessert. The wine was amazing. At the end, you enter able to buy bottles of wine at discounted price to take with you.

First of all, everyone who works here is perfectly lovely and attentive. We have been here several times, and it's usually fantastic. This time, not so much. We got this new pasta appetizer. It smelled and tastes to strange, I completely lost my appetite. They brought a substitution, and I think they were in such a hurry, it was over cooked and no flavor. I'm totally bummed out. What a waste after I had been looking forward to coming here all day.

Had the crispy chicken sandwich spicy. All of the breading fell off when I bit into it and I ended up basically having a chicken breast and fries. Not very good. The bun was soggy, pickles were weird, and it took a while to take my order and get it to my table. I may go back for another meal, but if they don't do better it's a no good.

Food was great and so was the service. My order was actually messed up. It was a simple mistake and that's no big deal but I bring it up because the servers handled it so well! They turned it around so fast and the food was delicious. My only complaint is the chair situation. There is no place to put a purse. A lot of restaurants that don't have a place to put your bag or purse have closed chairs so you can stick it in your chair. But these are kind of like wooden captains chairs. Lol I know I'm nitpicking but, man, I was so put out having to eat with my bag in my lap please don't judge me too much.

Delicious food coming from high-quality ingredients. I especially love the walleye and fried chickens. Visited during Monday Steak Nights a couple of times for the hanger steaks. Nice venue and great service. Only downside is the price.

I have had lunch at rye once before, a while back- and had dinner last night! Really like the food! Last night I had salmon and my husband had the hanger steak. The salmon was super moist and flavorful, and the sides of salad and the wild rice was perfect! My husbands hanger steak was also moist, flavorful and tender, he also had a side salad and fries! We got the whipped goat cheese w/bread from the appetizers- it was SO SO good. The cheese had honey and herbs and I loved it- was planning to get dessert at the end, but decided later the honeyed goat cheese would be my dessert instead! Definitely recommend. At lunch before I have had their chicken sandwich - was huge but yummy- made 2 meals for me. My son had the burger. We had a side of Mac n cheese- we liked it too!

Rye has nice dinner options. They make a great steak, but they are damn proud of their steak. In my opinion it's over-priced. The food is good, don't get me wrong but it's not worth $80 bucks a steak. It's just not that special. The service is always top notch. Nice atmosphere for date night or special occasions. I like this place and we will go back but I will have to think twice about ordering a steak. And I really love steak

This is not what it started out to be, it was my absolute favorite. The last few times we have been in the hosts are not friendly at all. The food is inconsistent, and the menu doesn't change other than the prices increasing substantially and the removal of the very fun featured desserts and sundaes that used to be changed out regularly. We were in last weekend and had the worst service. The server was unorganized and completely out of sight for long periods of time.

My favorite meal at this restaurant is the wedge salad skirt steak combination. It's just delicious and satisfying. I've been here several times and I've tried it and each time, I enjoy it as much as the last or more. It's an upscale restaurant with some interesting menu combinations. I like the Rye Leawood better than a Rye's near the plaza. I will keep returning.

Love the food and service here. Celebrated our 1 year engagement anniversary here. The ambience was nice along with the variety of options.

If you've never been to Rye but you're excited to visit because you've heard the hype, you're in for a very big disappointment. Tucked away in the back of Mission Farms shopping center, Rye appears to be searching for an identity. It's upscale and casual at the same time. Have you ever been served an $80+ steak by someone wearing a Chiefs jersey? I truly don't mind the semi-sports bar / fried chicken / expensive steakhouse conglomeration if it was at least paired with decent service and prices that were in-line with the quality of the food. We began our meal with an appetizer of deviled eggs that had an overwhelming oniony flavor. Who puts onions in deviled eggs? Next I had a Caesar salad, although I'm not sure what was Caesar about it. The salad appeared to have enough, or nearly enough dressing, but I couldn't taste it. After mixing it up thoroughly it still tasted as though I was putting bare romaine lettuce in my mouth with no other flavor. I stopped after a few bites. Oh, and I don't want to forget the rolls which appeared to be the same brown-n-serve rolls that you'll find packaged in any grocery store. My wife ordered the fried chicken, which tasted fine but definitely not any better, and perhaps not as good as Stroud's or even Red Door Grill. I stupidly wasted $82 plus tax on a ribeye steak. (It was Black Angus, not even Prime beef - why on earth did it cost so much?) We were celebrating our anniversary so we extended our budget beyond our normal price range and I thought, "At $82 it must be absolutely fantastic, right?" Well, I was wrong. The steak was no better than what I've eaten at Texas Roadhouse for a fraction of the cost, and it contained a couple bites of gristle - not what I expected for $82. If you want a truly amazing very high-end ribeye I'm begging you - don't go to Rye but instead visit 801 Chophouse and save $20. I also ordered the creamy horseradish as a side with my steak and it was very good with plenty of it to use on every bite of steak. If only the steak had been as good as the sauce my experience might have been different. For dessert we had the homemade lemon meringue pie. The pie was easily the highlight of the meal, and in my opinion the only reason to visit again - full stop. I don't see myself sitting down at a table in Rye and experiencing their lackluster service and disappointing food at ridiculously high prices again, but I might grab a pie to-go and take it home where I don't need to suffer the indignity of making another poor choice of restaurant to take my wife for our anniversary dinner.

Rye has the best pies!! They have great happy hour specials. Lots of bar space makes it so easy to swing by the bar for quick happy hour. An old old-fashioned and slice of pie is a perfect combo

The food was very good. I had the wedge salad and added salmon. The salmon I got was very small. The blueberry cobbler was excellent. Service wasn't great. Our food was forgotten twice and the waitress wasn't very attentive. Be warned it is very loud.

Get the fried chicken!!! Rye has a great food menu and they have some great custom cocktails. But seriously, get the fried chicken!

This place is always difficult to work with for events and scheduling. The food is okay but there are so many other wonderful restaurants in that area that provide better service.

We at lunch at Rye. We tried the deviled eggs for appetizer--delicious. One of us had the Shrimp and grits; the other had 2-piece fried chicken. Both dishes earned 5 stars! Service was friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. The ambiance reminded me of an upscale neighborhood eatery. We left with cookies and their homemade banana cream pie!

My bf did his research and chose this place for a late Sunday brunch, and he chose well! We were promptly seated, and our waitress was friendly, checked up on us often enough to make sure we were taken care of but also not too often so we could enjoy our food, and recommended great dishes. I absolutely love any sort of chicken and waffles kind of dish, so I couldn't resist their pecan fried chicken and french toast. How have I never had fried chicken and french toast? And how have I never had pecan fried chicken? Maybe I'm partial because I love this food combo so much, but this dish was delicious. The chicken was extremely tender and crispy outside, and the pecan taste was subtle. The seasonal fruit they used was pear I believe, and it added the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness to the dish. Unfortunately I can't really vouch for the french toast itself because I drowned it in syrup (yes, I am a child). I usually never eat a plate clean, but I did not leave a crumb to waste! The other dish I tried was my bf's, and he ordered the eggs benedict. Our server mentioned this dish is very popular, and that the hollandaise sauce is creamier and tastier than normal. And I can concur! I have never had such creamy hollandaise sauce, and it was very addicting. There was none left on the plate. We also tried the house made cornbread muffins because I love cornbread. To be honest, it wasn't the best cornbread I've ever had, but it did taste very fresh and I did like it. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant, at least for brunch!

After literally swiping through every 4+ star rated brunch/lunch spot in the South KC/Leawood area, we decided to hit this place up for our much awaited anniversary date. To say we were excited would be an understatement. We'd heard so much about the quality food and service Rye had to offer, and could NOT wait to try their fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, our experience was so horrible, I'm not sure we'll be coming back. First off, the service (or the lack of service) we were offered by our waiter was quite distasteful. We were promptly seated but waited nearly 15 minutes for someone to come greet us at our table. Quite frankly, I couldn't even differientiate who in the restaurant was a waiter and who was not. In the end, I waved down a waiter who I'd seen serving the table next to us. Just as a disclaimer, I've never once felt discriminated for being a minority at ANY local restaurant here in the KC/OP area, but the way in which we were treated by this waiter was not in the least respectful in any way. We immediately saw a difference in the way he interacted with us and with the older white couple seated beside us. We ordered our food and asked for iced water, but it almost felt like we were doing him a disservice just by being there. He was almost annoyed...and we could tell in his tone of voice and expressionless face. "What do you want to order? Anything to drink? Nothing from the drink menu? Do you want one or two of those?" We tried to be as polite and respectful, even cheerful, as possible. I just thought, maybe he was having a bad day. But, we were completely shocked when we overheard him serving all the other tables around us. He would smile, offer to explain anything on the menu, check in on them to make sure their food/beverages were to their liking, and even stuck around to chat with them. Their food was good. We might have even considered coming back to try some other stuff on their menu, but not after this. We seriously could not wait to finish eating and get out of there. And...were so sad that we picked this spot for our anniversary date night.
