“My favorite burger in the world. Sized like an old school burger, perfect combination of greasy and cheesy. We go from Kansas City to roaring River to go trout fishing, and this is a must stop place both coming and going. We always grab a bag for the drive back to KC.”

I've been going for years, but it's getting a little pricey for breakfast. Still will go just not as often for breakfast.Parking: Plenty”

It was ready to go on time and a few of the employees even loaded it into my vehicle for me. I will definitely use them again for any other catering needs, or when I want a treat for myself.”

“Very original place, with pink chairs, old petrol dispensers, hanging bicycles, road signs, like the one for route 66, which we were following and that's why we came to this place. They also have a piece of pink car that doubles as a table. A good place to eat, they have sandwiches, soups, salads,... With the sandwich they give you a bag of snacks. The food is good. The waiters are very friendly. The price is economical”

“There's no way I'm eating chain pizza now that I know this is in town. I just got home with my 8" deep dish and 12" thin crust. The crust is homemade and the meats are high quality. Those point are made obvious immediately. This is a quality product at a competitive price. Really well done, Sappiamo's.”

“Restaurant was super clean and staff were amazing! Also not badly priced and it hit the spot after a very long shift. Will definitely be coming back in the near future. Special shout out to the young lady that was at the register, she needs a raise asap.”

“Good little food truck, tacos needed some sauce, luckily I always have spare fire sauce, the general quality of the meat is good, I had the Carne asada and pork tacos. Price is fair $10 for 4 ”

“The pupusas were a 10/10. They tasted amazing and were identical to the authentic ones I ate in California. The lady running the restraunt was so sweet and genuine that it was great having a conversation with her after we finished eating! There's hardly any Salvadoran restraunts in the area so I'm glad there is one serving amazing food!”

“We had a huge crowd of at least 30 people, including kids, after a family funeral. But, even with this many people, the service was amazing, and the orders came out correct as far as I know. The food and drinks are always spot on! Tell 'em Wade sent you.”

“Nice place, enjoyed the decor - the owners are clearly Chevy fans! Sort of a mix between fast food and sit down dining. BBQ sauce was sweeter than I like, but still had good flavor. Tried the pulled chicken and burnt ends for lunch. Chicken was spot on, burnt ends were a little dry/over cooked, but still made a good sandwich. Kids had strips and macaroni - both were excellent.”

“Great food. Clean. Retro design. Friendly staff. Eat here often. Great chili. Lowered rating, close really early makes it hard for a family with kids in school activities to eat there now.”

“It’s definitely Americanized Chinese food but I am weak for it. I absolutely love their general chicken and orange chicken. Anytime my husband and I go out, we always choose China Taste. It’s one of those places that although the inside isn’t the best looking the FOOD is so yummy for my taste pallet. ☺️”
