The Westside Local: A Must-Visit New American Eatery in Kansas City

Valentine's dinner date and it did not disappoint. Brussel sprouts for the app. Then the wife had the salmon and I enjoyed the fish chips. Washed down with some rum & cokes. Everything was absolutely amazing! I mean the food was fantastic!! A little difficult to park and the waitress wasn't really into it but hey, maybe she was having a bad day. So we tipped well and have bragged to everyone about this place. The place was very clean, including the bathroom and that says a lot. Hidden gem for sure!

I had the best grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup I have ever eaten! It was so flavorful and delicious!! Took my son and his girlfriend there for dinner and she is Vegan. Plenty of choices and very accommodating and knowledgeable about the food and menu. Great neighborhood and atmosphere. Dog Friendly!! Highly recommend. You may need reservations but we sat outside with no wait.

Love this place, and the kids did too! The elote tots, pretzel & sausage board, steak rice bowl, fish & chips, and mac n’ cheese with veggies were all amazing—something for everyone to enjoy!

A Truly Local Gem in Every Sense I had the pleasure of dining at Westside Local last night, and the name couldn’t be more fitting. The atmosphere felt genuinely local and cozy, a refreshing departure from the usual chain restaurant vibe. The menu was packed with interesting and unique dishes, which was a huge win for someone like me who doesn’t eat much beef or pork. I found at least four dishes I was excited to try right off the bat. The service was warm and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe, and the atmosphere was hip and cool. Westside Local is definitely a spot I’ll be returning to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, locally-focused dining experience.

We were in town for the Nebraska vs Cincinnati game and wanted to hit something local on the way home. After a night of drinking, I needed comfort food, and not a big fan of BBQ. This was close to our hotel, highly rated, and the review pics looked good. It didn't disappoint!! We had the option of sitting inside or outside on the patio. I opted for the patio seating and it was charming, comfortable, and well done! The fans on the ends of the tables were a nice unique touch. I don't recall our server's name (short dark hair), but she was great! Attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the menu items. I was impressed by the details of each menu item. They ALL sounded so good it made it hard to decide what to get. I decided on the mac and cheese and added the hot honey chicken. My husband picked a burger (they're 1/2 lb!) He appreciates much simpler flavors and modified one to his liking. The quality of the ingredients I think is what impressed me most. His burger bun was hearty and toasted, quality bacon, quality beef, and good consistent crispness on the fries. My mac and cheese was beautifully put together, a generous portion, and I appreciated the standards of quality! Would definitely eat here again! I would also love to try the tacos She suggested! I dont think you can go wrong with any item because of their quality and standards. Even the salt and pepper shakers were well thought out.

Amazing food and service as always! My mom and I went for lunch and Mackenzie was our servicer! She was knowledgeable and patient with us. Checked back just the right amount! The food was delicious as always! Highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the elote tots!! The High tea cocktail was delicious as well!

We came here for our team dinner. Cute atmosphere, food was amazing across the board. Big portion sizes, the shawarma bowl (in photo) was super good! Michael did an amazing job! Very great at his job. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts !!

Really enjoyed this experience! We had a larger group and got in fairly quickly and well accommodated. Food and drinks came out timely and the quality was great!
