Doesn't get much better! Excellent service, even with a long wrap-around line in the store. Helpful ladies at the beautiful donut case. And the donuts...you name, they have it, and so FRESH! Every bite melted in your mouth! To our surprise the gentleman paid for our Donuts, and we were so humbled by his generosity!
The inside of this store seriously reminded me of Garretts Popcorn shops in the Chicago area...long lines, but steady moving, beautiful lighting, and decor. The founder who's picture was near the do it should be so proud! LaMars donuts are divine!

We drove two hours from home to look at a car, only so we could get to PT's. Don't know what the "PT" stands for, but it should be "Perfect Tenderloin." My whole family looks for excuses to travel that direction just to eat there.

We live close to here, so we understand that they are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday "until the meat runs out". They also only accept cash or check. But in my mind the food is worth it. My wife loves the baked beans, my son loves the smoked Turkey, and I love the ribs.
4. Plowboys Barbeque

After trying Plowboys in downtown Kansas City, we were looking forward to eating at this location--big mistake. This is bad barbecue--so bad that we sent the pork ribs back, and even the manager admitted that they were completely overcooked. The replacement ribs were properly cooked but had no smokey flavor. Their burnt ends were better. The sausage was fair.
I would not eat here again. There are many better barbecue joints in Kansas City.

Stopped here after a cold day at the softball diamonds. The entire team had ample seating for a Saturday night about 7:00 pm. As they graciously opened up a back room.
Our family shared the family 4 meat special...perfect. Ribs, ham, sausage, and beef...and the side were great too.
The beans...best!!!
Daughter had the salad bar...and said it was the best HOMEMADE French dressing she has ever had...and that girl puts western dressing on EVERYTHING.
you order at the counter, and within minutes your food is ready, your number is called, and it's time to eat!
Great ordering process!
Even picked up a bottle of the Apple Harvest BBQ sauce to take home...tastes like a mixture of applebutter & bbq sauce...YUMMMM!
wish they had some cornbread instead of sliced bread.
6. KC Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed By Morgan2010 - Lebanon, New Jersey
I had the 3-meat combo platter, which is a great value at $17. Ribs were best. Burnt ends avg - tasted more like roast beef than smoked. Sausage is good, but I prefer Italian style rather than this, which tends to hot-dog style. Less than stellar beans and potato salad. Value and good service lets them squeak in with a VG rating.

Lets face it, in our country, Mexican places have the same casual style. There is not much they do – or can do?- to differentiate themselves. This place is one of the better ones I have been to. My chicken fajitas were excellent, and easily enough to eat for $14. Started with the ‘required’ complimentary chips and salsa – which would not rate as the best I’ve had. But Wide open space, quick service and dos equis amber lets them sneak in with my coveted excellent rating.

They closed the Texas Roadhouse in Las Vegas which we really enjoyed so we were glad to see the Blue Springs one. Our anticipation was met. Super food. There were 5 of us and each one thought it was great. Waitresses were also great and very helpful.
10. Yogurtini

Reviewed By 70stephanief - Oak Grove, Missouri
This is a fun place, with fun decor and atmosphere, to get a good afternoon or evening snack, that actually has the potential to be healthy and guilt free! I say POTENTIAL, because it is obviously up to the individual to determine which yogurt and toppings they choose, thus it is up to the individual how healthy their snack will be. ;) They offer many flavor options, including flavors in fat free varieties, and they will provide you with small sample cups so you don't end up with a flavor you think sounds good but tastes horrible. Admittedly I have been thankful for the option to sample on several occasions here as some of the flavors I find to be horrible lol. The toppings bar has a wide variety of options ranging from obviously healthy and wise; fresh fruits, nuts, granola ,etc., to the most definitely not healthy; candy and brownie bits, gummy bears, flavored syrups, etc. No matter how healthy or carefree you choose to go with your Yogurtini experience remember one thing, you pay for your cup of yogurt by WEIGHT and you don't get to weigh it until you hit the register. They give you rather large cups to fill so watch your amounts, and don't fill it to the brim, or overflowing with topping, unless you want to be a LOT for a snack that could be inexpensive and healthy! Great experience for kiddies too! My one and only complaint is that the staff could be a little more friendly and helpful other than that, love it all!
