Katherine M.September 28, 2016"Opt for a half-order ($4)" of biscuits and gravy and "dredge your Gillis Breakfast Sandwich ($7) in the rich gravy studded with pork sausage" from a local butcher. Formica tables. Read more- Always hard to choose since everything is great! Best BLT in town. Also try the egg salad, chicken salad, and meatloaf sandwiches. Butternut squash anything and don't forget a chocolate chip cookie!

Jamie MorrisonApril 25, 2016Was in town for the weekend and wanted something off the beaten path. This place is amazing. Biscuits and Gravy were so good, I went back the next day for seconds.
Serious EatsJuly 25, 2014Get a half-order of biscuits and gravy and dredge your fluffy scrambled egg sandwich with the peppery gravy.- Kansas CityOctober 17, 2012Guy Fieri's most recent visit to KC brought him to this soup ‘n sandwich joint in Columbus Park. Here, he watched the husband-wife team put twists on authentic lunch and brunch favorites.
- David PittsOctober 27, 2015Outstanding biscuits and gravy, probably the best I've had. Bacon and eggs also quite good. Also the coffee. Just go here and eat. Now.
- Ellen S.May 6, 2012I you get the Happy Gillis breakfast sandwich, ask for some gravy and dip it in. 10x better than either on their own, and that says a lot since it's all good food.
Bluejay ChipMarch 7, 2016Had their Biscuit French Toast, Everything Salmon, and the Chicken Torta sandwich....it was all awesome...definitely going back.
Chad JanssenMay 16, 2017Crab roll and the apple and brie grilled cheese were fantastic. Loved the locally made coffee mugs!
Danielle DusselierSeptember 9, 2014Staff is amazing. Food was so yummy. B's & G's killer! And over the top bacon!!! I cant wait to go back
DaveySeptember 1, 2011Menu is ever-changing so visit often and see what the weekly specials are. Never a disappointment! All of their food comes from local vendors, and always fresh.
Dawn MichaelMarch 6, 2015The Asian Pork sandwhich is delicious! Get the butternut squash soup w pesto. Its phenomenal.
Richard ClarkOctober 10, 2015Salmon is great people thought about this place before they threw it together. If there is a better place in kc I have not found it yet.
Try the breakfast burrito. New and insanely delicious.
ᴡ McGreeDecember 22, 2014Out of the way and fantastic. Staff was helpful, food was nothing short of amazing.
Signature Gillis breakfast Sammy, or the Boulevard cheese melt. Excellent choices.
Mary GastJune 13, 2013Definitely get some gravy to dip your breakfast sammich in! Previous person was soooooo right!
Brianna HernandezJanuary 8, 2012Get in early on Sunday to beat the church crowd! B&G and the Boulevard Croque are the way to go!
- Best BLT and chicken salad (regular, not curry) sandwiches in town! Also, try the tasty chocolate chip cookies.
Soup and sandwich combo for lunch can't be beat. Chicken salad is terrific!
One of the best breakfast spots in KC. Try EVERYTHING!
Must have for breakfast a Keller-esque BLT. It's the best BLT on earth. Really you can go wrong with anything on the menu. It's also a great place just to hang out!
Cate CrandellJanuary 28, 2013The biscuits and gravy is delicious... There's a perfect amount of spice!
Try the Mushroom And Three Cheese Grilled Sandwich - #vegetarian tasty and delish
Robin GoodeMay 6, 2016Had the chicken torta and was disappointed as it was mostly dark meat chicken and had some fat and skin in the mix. Disappointed since everyone else loves this place.- Try the Goat Cheese & Butternut Squash Sandwich - Best sandwich I've had in awhile.
Chelsea RohdeMay 23, 2011Great little lunch spot. Not cheap, but such good ingredients, it's worth it. Love the ambience, too. Quirky. Read more
Love the chicken salad and any of their soups! I haven't had anything I didn't like.
Brody DorlandApril 6, 2011Make sure you order your food before you take a table...you might hear a passive aggressive rant from one of their staff if you break that rule. Maybe the guy is having a bad day.
Smoked salmon great... plain jane good... can't wait to come back and try more
NickSeptember 27, 2011A little pricey for a sandwich, but it's pretty good. Nothing worth going every week for the price. Panera is a better value.
