Rye Plaza

While visiting KC last week, I had the pleasure of dining at Rye. Since I was alone, I opted for a seat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Although I had heard rave reviews about their fried chicken, I decided to go with the bartender’s recommendation—the pork chop with mushrooms—and it was absolutely fantastic! My only regret? Skipping dessert. I’ve heard their bakery is incredible, so next time, I’ll be sure to save some room. Can’t wait to return! I wish I had the bartender’s name working Tuesday evening to give a special shout out.

Rye was fun for brunch! The omelet of the day was wonderful and the whipped goat cheese. I also enjoyed the chive hashbrown squares that come with most meals. Our server kept our coffees warm and the atmosphere was a cozy blend of modern and relaxed.

Rye is the perfect lunch spot for gathering with friends! The menu has such a great variety of fresh, flavorful options that everyone can enjoy. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it a comfortable place to relax and catch up over a delicious meal. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe is perfect for a laid-back yet elevated dining experience. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, Rye never disappoints. It's definitely a go-to spot for lunch with friends!

Rye on Plaza offers great crafted cocktails, but it's not the most vegetarian or pescatarian-friendly establishment. While the ambiance and service are decent, the menu options can be limited for those with specific dietary preferences. Overall, it's an okay place, but at this price point, you can find more exciting dining options in Kansas City.

Waiter was wonderful. Very cute atmosphere. Food left a lot to be desired, especially for the cost. Caesar salad tasted like vinegar, so did the Brussel sprouts. Steak was cooked to perfection, medium rare. Seasoning on steak minimal to none.

Rye is always a great brunch spot. It's very relaxed and serves wonderful food. The servers have always been nice to me.

We had a large group for dinner and the service was great. Food was super too. I had the Scottish Salmon (didn't know there was such a thing) and it had a great flavor with some tasty green beans. We also shared a bunch of appetizers. The burnt ends were really good, but so were all of the others. Don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu.

Delicious! We hadn’t been here in some time and I was glad to find it did not disappoint. In a great location on the Plaza, this is a fine choice to dine with good food, good vibes, good service. It was pretty busy at our Saturday lunch time, but our service did not suffer (I recommend making a reservation however). Despite their good brunch options, I went with the shrimp & grits. The grits were different than what I’ve had before but in a good way. As much as I enjoy S&G, the beef and roux accented it beautifully and were the perfect compliments. Come hungry as it was pretty hearty and I noticed some of their other food in pretty large portions. They also have a nice cocktail list, both brunch and non-brunch.
