5 Best Restaurants in Overland Park, Kansas You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Overland Park, Kansas — a city where the prairie wind carries laughter through leafy neighborhoods, where the skyline is a gentle rise of red-brick shops and sunlit parks, and where the scent of barbecue and cinnamon rolls drifts from open doors. Here, families gather for Friday night football, newcomers are welcomed with a slice of pie, and every street feels stitched together by memory and hope. This is a place where cultures mingle — Midwestern roots, global flavors, and the quiet pride of those who call it home.

Is the owner of United Market at Linwood a grocery whisperer? He's opening No. 2

It might be becoming a thing. The guy who took over the former Sun Fresh in the Linwood Shopping Center to save a grocery store for East Side Kansas City residents in the Prospect corridor might have a knack for turning around urban markets. We’ll see, because that guy, Anthony Estrada , just took on a new challenge: managing another grocery store in what used to be The Merc Co+op, a community-owned market in Kansas City, Kansas. It’s a project Estrada said he’s been working toward for more than a year. And now it looks like he may be only two or three months away from opening what will be his second urban grocery store. It will be a United Market, just like the store he opened in May at 31st Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City. The Kansas store will have the same logo as the Linwood Shopping Center store — hands cupping a piece of fruit — and share the same color scheme, so he is going for a recognizable look. Like the United Market on the Missouri side, the KCK market will be owned and subsidized by the local government. Estrada has the management contract, charging

This new KC restaurant has customizable breakfast sandwiches and mom's meatloaf

There’s something about coming home — from travels, from college, even from work across town — that’s warm and fuzzy for Kory Roth. Maybe it’s because his mom’s meatloaf was waiting for him when he returned from studying abroad in Paris or attending college in Parkville. It’s also just as nice of a feeling when his wife returns home from working as a nurse at the University of Kansas Medical Center. What if that feeling of coming home could be evoked in a restaurant? That’s Roth’s goal with Marigolds, a new breakfast and lunch restaurant that opened Tuesday in a former Panera Bread, and located across the street from the major hospital campus. “We wanted a place where you could have a nice, warm meal and just relax,” Roth said. The Marigolds owner plays up that juxtaposition against what the space used to be and the medical campus directly across the street. The corporate cafe chain there before, as well as the hospital, are standardized, minimalist and sterile. Marigolds, however, is cozy and easy, especially thanks to a separate lounge area set up with couch seating, a TV, books and a simulated, electric fireplace. Much of the walls are painted

The Historic Kansas Steakhouse With A Ghost Story And A Perfect Smoked Ribeye

The tiny jukebox selectors at the booths of this steakhouse no longer play a single song. They stay anyway, like loyal old friends who refuse to leave the party. The building started life in the 1940s as a supper club. Its first owner had a reputation for bootlegging, and old photos of him still hang on the lounge walls.

This matcha pop-up stand is creating distinct flavors and long lines across KC

The green and leafy beverage known as matcha has had Gen Z in a serious chokehold this decade. Some may drink it for the health benefits, while others drink it for the “performative” aesthetic. In a coffee shop hub like Kansas City, there’s no limit on matcha options. But a place that strictly sells the green tea concoction? There’s just one place for that, and they don’t even have a storefront. If you’ve been at the Overland Park Farmers Market this season, you’ve probably noticed that long line of patient folks waiting on the east side of the market. That’s the line for HerCafe , a matcha-only stand that has proven to be one of Kansas City’s most beloved pop-up stands. Their best days saw sales of 500–600 cups of matcha. Their drinks typically runs you about $8. You can do the math — the business is booming. “People are there like when we’re setting up. They’re ready to go,” said Yasmen Hassen, co-founder of the stand that can open as early as 7:30 a.m. during the farmers market season. The idea of the matcha station came from when Hassen and co-founder Lujyn Elsayed met at a 2023 women’s retreat.
