I’m not going to pretend I know everything there is to know about food in Kansas City, my girl Shanley has that covered. However, I have become quite fond of The Westside Local and I can’t get seem to get enough. The photos below are supporting evidence of my addiction.
Last night Pete and I enjoyed a nice Sunday dinner inside while it rained. I ordered the Grilled Cheese with brie and shatto white cheddar and he had the Summit Burger. On a recent visit with friends one of the guys claimed it was the best burger he’s ever had. That’s a pretty impressive statement. I personally think it’s the farm-to-market aspect that makes everything taste that much better.
I’m not big on tomato soup, so I bypassed that and ordered extra Parmesan & Parsley Fries and a side of Garlic Aioli Sauce. Mouth-watering, I tell ya. I’m looking forward to those leftovers.
They also offer a great selection of beers and specialty drinks, but I like to play it safe and always go for a Boulevard. The garden-like patio area provides a relaxing atmosphere that can’t be beat.
Another one of my favorites is their Mac & Cheese (it’s huge!) topped with sourdough bread crumbs. It’s a carb lover’s heaven. I’m anxious to give their blunch a go sometime in the near future – I’ve heard it’s just as amazing as everything else they offer.
What are some of your favorite places to wine and dine in Kansas City? Do you have a restaurant you tend to gravitate toward when you’re craving something delicious?
Okay this is perfect timing! Andrew and I want to go to some new places this week so we are going to try this out.
UM now I’m incredibly hungry! I haven’t been to Kansas City in so long, but I know the food was good last time I was there 😉
I just want those french fries. Now. At 9:28 a.m.
I love farm to market restaurants! They have the best and freshest tasting food ever!!
Yummm!! This looks so good! You are making me hungry!!
It’s morning here for me, but I’m craving a beer and a burger now! Looks great!
Oklahoma Joes is always a must for me when I’m in KC. I’m also obsessed with Spin.

Yum! Westside Local is such a great place! They seriously have the best ketchup.
This place is fantastic! I LOVE the patio. As long as there aren’t a ton of bugs:)
I’m drooling.
You definitely don’t have to be a food connoisseur to know good food! So, I’m glad that you decided to share your experience with your readers. Kansas City is super close to my hometown, Omaha! And a guy in my boyfriend’s band is from there. So next time we hit the big KC, I’m definitely going to have to check out The Westside Local. Beautiful images and writing – thanks for sharing! XOXO
Love this place! Husband and I both love it — and it can be challenging to find a good restaurant that’s veggie and meat friendly. 🙂
Okay that grilled cheese….are you kidding me?! Sounds/looks amazing!!

I love Westside Local! Their fries are to die for!
This place looks cute! If i am ever in Kansas City I will for sure check it out 😉
This needs to make it on my list next time I visit. Perhaps we can meet up there?! I love me so Boulevard Wheat, but I can’t have it anymore since I don’t eat gluten!
Most definitely 🙂 Hope your week has been great!
I dream of them!
I can’t even begin to describe how perfect it is! haha
Agreed! I don’t eat much meat, but my boyfriend loves it. And I’m just picky in general 😉
Thanks so much Tiana, you are too sweet! It’s such a crazy small world, I love it 🙂 Enjoy the rest of the week!
I could eat their garlic aioli sauce with a spoon, but I won’t 😉
Let’s do it!!!

I made myself hungry too!
Agreed! 🙂
Oopsies 🙂
You have to let me know what you think!
I won’t disagree, I love the food!
This place looks adorable and ummm those fries! Yes please! definitely checking this out next time I go back!
