Discover Kansas City’s Top-Rated Restaurants of 2024!
Hey there, Kansas City food lovers! If you’re looking for the hottest spots to indulge your taste buds this year, you’re in for a treat. We’ve just got the scoop on the top-reviewed restaurants in Kansas City, according to OpenTable, and the results are deliciously exciting!
What Makes a Restaurant the Best?
So, how do we determine which restaurants are the cream of the crop? OpenTable collects nearly 2 million reviews from diners over a couple of months, evaluating everything from food quality and service to ambience and value for money. Each restaurant is assigned an overall rating based on these criteria, making it easier for us to find the places everyone’s raving about.
The Top Spots for Diners in Kansas City
Before we dive into the details, it’s worth noting that these rankings reflect the “Diners’ Choice: Best Overall” awards published just this month. For a restaurant to make the list, it had to snag more than 50 reviews and be part of the Kansas City metro area while utilizing OpenTable’s reservation system. This means these eateries are not just great; they’re also popular!
This year, the restaurant that everyone seems to be buzzing about is The Capital Grille, located on the Country Club Plaza at 4760 Broadway. Known for its in-house dry-aged steaks and an impressive wine list boasting over 350 selections, this place has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many, earning an outstanding average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars based on nearly 4,600 reviews!
How Do the Other Restaurants Stack Up?
The competition was fierce, but Lonnie’s Reno Club, a local favorite from last year, still shines bright, holding the sixth position in the rankings. Its charm hasn’t faded, and it remains a must-visit spot for those craving a nostalgic vibe coupled with great food.
Let’s not forget about the newcomers! Grünauer burst onto the scene and took the seventh spot with a whopping 5,212 reviews, making it one of the most talked-about additions this year. If you haven’t tried it yet, it might just be the perfect reason for your next dinner outing!
