Ayla Parham: The food was absolutely fantastic! Both my partner and I had the Cuban sandwich with fries and it makes me not want to get a Cuban sandwich anywhere else. The staff was incredibly sweet, and they made sure my 2 year-old son's food was done first so it had time to cool before he ate it. We ate at the shop. It was clean and pleasant. Can't wait to go back and try more. They offer desserts, coffee, and smoothies but I got too full to try.Kid-friendliness: They were incredibly sweet with my son, and paid special attention to his food because of his ageParking: They have spots in front as well as the east side of the building

Cybil Foreman: Three attempts for a decent meal for takeout and three fails. We ordered through Doordash twice because the restaurants own online ordering wasn't working properly and when we called to order they said they were too busy to take orders. I'm aware of the staffing shortages since the pandemic & we have no problem waiting longer. One of the orders was Doordash delivery. On that order we only received 1/2 of our order. 2 of our 5 meals were missing as well as sauces, a dessert and salad. The restaurant placed the blame on the driver for not waiting for another bag but once the bags. Are set in the pickup area to my understanding that signals drivers that ordered are complete. The next visit we did curbside, ordered through Doordash. Not only was the 54th street employee very rude to about my husband not coming inside to pick up our order. We've done curbside pickup for years & had no idea that if we're getting pickup after using a different ordering method we're not entitled to curbside, which makes me question why I had added an 18% tip... on to the food itself. I ordered the baby back ribs which are not cheap at over $20. I don't mind paying that for a small slab of ribs because it's normally falling off the bone and really tasty. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Though the meat was cooked through to not be a health hazard they were not cooked long enough to serve. The meat was so tough I couldn't even eat it plus the bbq sauce hadn't been on during any of the cooking process (it normally is) so it hadn't carmelized & the flavor nor color deepened at all. It was actually still cool. My baked potato had been sitting for so long it was hard as a rock. Salad was half the normal size. My son is 5 & he's got some food aversions. He gets the kids alfredo pasta. One of the options right on the ordering apps is NO PARMESAN CHEESE ON TOP. It was covered in shredded cheese. His broccoli was partially rotten and complete mush. The meal for 3 of us with tip included was over $80. A lot of money for two of us to be left hungry due to inability to eat the meal. We have been eating there for going on 20 years and it's steadily gone down hill. This past week they've had a kitchen fire and are closed to rebuild. I hope they get some of the kitchen staff trained better while they're dispersed to other locations temporarily. It's less than a mile from our house and used to be a favorite for us.

Nancy Perez: Really disappointed food was cold waiter was good though. They tried to make it right but I won't go there again.

Kay Winters: Great grilled chicken Avocado sandwich. Brussel sprouts weren't quite done.

Edwin Thoma: Food taste very good. Quick service. Large be selection of food & drinks. Staff friendly. Must be good as place was packed! Ample packing.

Alan Leffler: We were down here for a business trip and it was so hard to find good food places to eat. In Scottsdale, Az we have some of the best restaurants available. It was a little bit of a shock when we came to Kansas City and it was almost impossible to find late night restaurants open that were actually good. This place was great! So awesome that we went a few times during our trip! Highly impressed. Out of the 20 places we tired during our trip, this place was number one.

Nicole R Bass: By far the better of the 54th locations. Love the curbside addition, has really come in handy during covid. Fas friendly and clean. Never had an issue and a great staff.

Michelle Johnson: Melissa was a great waitress loved her service

Shari Worlledge: I came here last night with my bf and my 12 month old. I've been coming to 54 for years(several locations but mostly this one) and last night was legit the best service I've ever had at one.Our server's name was Apollo and they were so kind, attentive and aware. We seriously didn't feel like we were just a tip to them. Like they really just wanted us to have a great experience.Our food was also better than normal. My burger was cooked to PERFECTION. I always order medium wherever I go and never really get medium, usually medium well. This time it was so beautiful. My bfs steak was also perfect and juicy. Our sides were hot and fresh. My drink was delicious.I'm really not sure what they're doing differently up there but it's working. It's always been good but last night was great. Keep it up, y'all

George Michael: First time here on Friday, it was crowded. Lots of tasty food. I wanted some traditional beef, so ordered sirloin, but came out as something slightly different covered with sausage. I wouldn't order this again.

Yadira Chicas: Friendly service. Always busy, but weekdays aren't crazy on wait times. The food is pretty good, and the waitresse/waiters are pretty attentive. I like their happy hour specials 😃Features: No masks required
