Kyle ParsonsAugust 11, 2014Eating here should be on your bucket list, and get a slice. I loved my bacon and goat cheese slice. The sausage and green pepper was yums too.
Melissa GrayOctober 14, 2013They have airplane seats in the back! Sunday nights at 8/8:30pm you can watch a movie outside under the stars with food, drinks and a fire. Yummy New York style pizza! Highly recommend.
Patrick FeeOctober 12, 2014This place is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly locals. Food is amazing. The cheesesteaks here are better than any I've had anywhere else. They also serve local products... 360 Vodka!!!
Theresa O'LearyMay 31, 2018This place is a Kansas City institution. They are known for their pizza and grinders. This area is the place to be on First Fridays and they also have concerts right in their backyard.
Amy MoritzMarch 5, 2013Based on the other reviews I think you can get pretty much anything here and love it. I've had the Philly with both cheeses and the pair salad with candied walnuts and Gorgonzola both were awesome!
Michael CornerJanuary 25, 2018All the way from the Lou. Best way to finish a weekend visit. #hairofthedog Come every time we visit KC. Driving home w pizza chili bomb in back was hell. #giftforwifey Missin cheesesteak @grinderskc
Scott SchwartzApril 1, 2015Good beer selection. Phillies were darn good. The large fry was about 10 fries which is a dissapointment for the 7 bucks charged when chili and cheese added. Would go again though. Neat place.
Great pizzas and cheesesteaks. Check to see if there is a concert out back before coming, because it will be packed.- Theresa O'LearyJuly 17, 2018This place is an institution. The perfect down and dirty place to get a grinder or pizza. Perfect spot for pre-concert food, and it is PACKED on First Fridays.
Kansas CitySeptember 6, 2012This Crossroads Arts District road food joint is the creation of the artist, Stretch, the Philadelphia-born sculptor with a passion for Cheesesteaks. Food that’s easy on the eyes & deadly for the diet
Buddy HunterJune 5, 2015Pizza=good! Had some good service & a bad bartendar inside.. Find it odd when I'm paying for a whole table of 8 drinks, I was only able to do it 2 drinks at a time. Up in air if I will return
Chris ColvinApril 11, 2011Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Chanel...pizza is great (and interesting choices) funky dough and a beer is a must for first timers...2 for 1 slices and $2 mimosas on Sun
Ahi tuna salad is shockingly delish for a place that specializes in great 'za! Worth coming just for that, but be warned, it's not on the event menu.
Mick BMarch 18, 2012Wipe your schedule if you plan on eating here. Zesty pizza and tasty cheesesteaks make up for the casual, I'll-get-to-you-whenever-I-get-to-you service. Deodorant optional.
Le Hog pizza, craft beer, live music in back (non-winter months). Check out the taste beerings they have every few months.
The chicken paprikash by chef George from Cyprus is so good you'll want to eat the skin. Don't miss it if he's in the house.
Kaitlyn WilliamsJune 20, 2013Crab Rangoon and Wings- SO GOOD. Wimpy sauce was plenty hot. Tried the Bengal Tiger pizza... Interesting. But tasted way too much like curry for me.
You can never go wrong with a Philly. Make sure you get both cheeses! Also, the Smoked Gouda Potato Casserole is a delicious side.- Mickey SmeltzerJanuary 19, 2014Very cool and hip place. Philly and the chili bomb pizza are phenomenal! Bloody Marys are relish!
One of the best places to hear live music. Get a pizza and a beer and sit out back!
Kate VromanAugust 28, 2018I got a greek salad with a feta and oregano vinaigrette and although it was good, my bill was over $14 after tip and there wasn’t any meat that came on my salad, that would’ve added $3 additionally.
The California BLT is the best in the city, and it comes with their homemade chips. Great place to see a show, too.
Came for 3 for $1 tacos on Thursday only to find out they were out of tacos. The pizza we had instead was delish. Skip the cocktails and order a beer.
Jennifer Brown AlonzoAugust 30, 2013Love grinders. The roast beef was perfect! The wait staff was the best. Can't wait to go back!
The west club doesn't get the love it deserves. It's the best sandwich in the history of sandwich.
Raymond SmithMarch 24, 2012The Bengal Tiger pizza was really great. A nice change of flavor for a pizza with the tandoori chicken and cilantro. Yum!
Charlotte JoosJuly 14, 2013Loved the food and atmosphere! Go hungry... Big pizza slices and hefty sandwiches!
Jennifer FishNovember 14, 2015Great pizza and death wings! If you like heat but not overpowering heat, get the molten sauce!
Awesome people...... love the calzones and great beer selection
Try the Fungi Pizza - Everyone loved this the best out of the margarita and the meat pizza
Gotta have a death wing at least once when you're there! Pizza is always great!
DatsDatNigga MRS.Reese... TLR & ALR FOREVER!!!April 23, 2017It was cool, great 🍕 but the beer on tap could be a lot colder.. I'll go back though!
Ryan WolseyOctober 14, 2012Great food, Great tunes, Great area! Crossroads is a must on your KC Bucket list.
Kelsey HayesJanuary 25, 2012They serve a pizza here with a mountain of chili and tater tots in the middle of it. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Bri NystromJune 15, 2012Crab rangoons and pizza! Amazing selection of beer and very chill place. A KC MUST!
Scott GardnerJuly 10, 2013Great beer selection, good pie and phillies, tattoos and live music on weekends.
Get half a Philly with both cheeses AND a slice. It's the path to heaven.
Definitely some awesome food in a really cool atmosphere with great friendly service! And the prices were very reasonable foer the quality and portions!
Jose BautistaOctober 4, 2011Best pizza in town. Massive bar selection. Great small concert venue, too. Saw Avett Brothers here.
Melana Burri JonesSeptember 8, 2011The Philly is by far the best...and have the big ass tots to go with it ...with chili and cheese AAA+++
ChrisJuly 8, 2012Bengal tiger pizza....dont let the unusual ingredients deter you, it's one of a kind!
Try the Hippie Pizza... don't let the almonds scare you. They're actually quite delicious on there!
