Michelle Saenz: I signed up for a class in June but I was able to attend the sooner class in May. There were 19 openings in the May class so I requested to transfer to that class. I received a voicemail advising me to sell my ticket for the June class and re-enroll in the May class. I called them back an Heather confirmed that this is my only option and they would not transfer my payment to another class. What???
Fear & Living: My friend registered for a sushi class and I registered for the wrong date. She called to switch her date to mine and they said ‘sell the ticket and take the money to buy a ticket for the other date.’ Just stupid, this place has gone downhill with their new policy. There’s 19 spots open in the date she is requesting. At least allow folks to transfer dates?
Kendra Moritz: Highly disappointed in their prioritization of policy over customer service. I purchased event tickets for 4 ($95 per ticket) and due to a death in the family, unable to attend. After speaking with the woman on the phone, she compared their ticket sales to those of the sprint center validating their inability to offer any type of change. Since I spoke with her a week prior to the event, I offered suggestions to see if they would be able to provide a portion or percentage of the ticket amount for us to come back at a later date and continue our relationship with this business (cover the expenses of our seats but show grace and desire to maintain my family as customers). She was beyond cold and made clear her annoyance with my unfortunate situation after I attempted to give my tickets away to friends, not having anyone able to go in our place.Policies should be put in place to support and protect a business, however, the best policies can do that while also maintaining a positive relationship with customers being a small, locally owned business. Beyond the outdated and blindly enforced policy, it is clear the woman on the phone needs training and support in customer service as the first (and sometimes only) individual someone interacts with.
Norene Gaines: If you have a passion for good food, learning how to cook better/easier or for cooking/kitchen tools & such, this is the place to go. Fun classes, pre cooked meals to go, kitchen boas & gadgets all in one spot & served with a sense of humor.
Angie Maggart: It's always a good time, and we learn a lot of fun new recipes
Richard Latham: Went here for a team building experience with work. The staff was friendly and it was overall a great experience. We did a mystery box, which did not come with clear directions, so I struggled. I'm the kind of cook that needs a recipe to follow. The team had a good time and I'd absolutely go again, maybe for a date night.
Nick Sandridge: Poor experience with Heather DeFeo Minor and a the KC Culinary Institute. I emailed Heather 48 hours ahead of our class to let her know I was interested in rescheduling due to a forecasted snowstorm. The snow came and roads were icy so my wife and I decided not to drive 40 minutes for the scheduled class as I was sure they’d be flexible with rescheduling. Boy was I wrong! Almost two weeks after my initial email to reschedule and having not gotten a response I called to speak with Heather where she was both rude and unhelpful, stating the cancellation policy was 72 hours not 48 regardless of weather conditions. She mentioned they were a small business struggling through the pandemic: I wonder if their struggle isn’t in part due to poor customer service and shortsighted business practices.
Facetime: Stopped in on a whim while visiting across the street. The people were friendly, the place was exceptionally clean, and it smelled amazing. One of my group will be going back for a cooking class in the future. Their selection of cookware was nicely curated, so if you need a serious kitchen tool, they will have it.
AdoredandChosen: Very hospitable environment! It was a Joy to be in the midst!
Tim Hayes: Great Pad Thai cooking class from Chef Jill
P Squared: I was visiting Overland Park from another state and bought several sets of general (non seasonal) coasters at this shop in mid-October. I changed my mind about a 3 of coasters (valued at $14) and called to ask if I could return them in late November when I'd be visiting again. The return policy states 30 days and my return would have been the 40-day mark. The woman answering the phone put me on hold and then came back and said, "No, absolutely not. We cannot do that." We are talking about new, unused, still in-the-package items. We are talking 10 days after the limit. Is business really so good (bad?) that a poor customer experience is worth Culinary Center of KC keeping their $14? What a disheartening experience.
Andrew Doerr: The cooking classes offered are a blast.
W. P.: Outstanding cooking experience for creative team building and eating a good lunch after!!!
Scott Archuletta: Unwilling to reschedule my class after I tested positive for Covid……complete waste of money, send yours elsewhere.
Jeff B: The wife and I enjoyed an interesting date night, and I would highly recommend this to any couples who are foodies and looking for a fun evening. Because we are foodies, it was somewhat difficult finding a class that featured cuisine we weren't familiar or very experienced with. But we made a great choice, and our chef, Gary, was the best. He answered every stupid question, honored every request, and even stuck around afterwards, shaking hands and thanking each attendee, and allowing time for some culinary conversation.The Culinary Center offered a free glass of wine or a beer as part of the class, and allowed time to wander their store. And, of course, the wife found a few unique kitchen items that needed to come home with us!
Terry Chartier: We had a group of 7 ladies who attended the Mexican Authentic Tamale's cooking class. It was amazing. We received a paper cook book with all the recipes, got to make 6 tamales to take home, had a free token for a drink (margarita (delicious), beer), had chips, black bean, and pico de gallo appetizer, and got to have a full meal of 2 tamales and Mexican rice. We had a blast. Well worth the price. Their shop is amazing also. We will definitely be back.
Sgarcia2864: Great atmosphere and service.
bill westerhouse: Had a great time in the knife skills class. Learned proper technique and new skills. Chef Richard assured us that with a sharp knife and proper technique we could cut onions without tears. I cried, so I still have more practice to do! Check out my strawberry fan in the Pic. 4/27/2022 - took the Chinese take out class, Chef Jill was phenomenal.
Bonita Fisher: My friend & I had a fun Girls Night Out! Carribean Getaway! Truly enjoyed the Pain Killer & learned some new cooking tips!
Leslie: We had an incredible time at the Culinary Center of Kansas City. We greatly appreciated the expert team of people who helped our group prepare our meal and took great care of us. It was a great time with our group, great team building and amazing food.
austin andersen: Love the cooking classes

Sonja Harness: Close to shopping, food and the sports complex
Samantha Cooper: Only posting 1star so I can leave a review.I booked this room because there were no other options.. now I see why!You totally get catfished with their online pictures.No refrigerator, no microwave, no towels, smoke detector hanging off the ceiling, no smoking but the entire place smells like cigarette smoke, cigarette burn marks on the sink, shower didn’t work, water smelt like sewage.Definitely not worth the 100$ I spent for one night.Whoever comments on the reviews…Please don’t comment with an apology and saying you’re going to do better because you clearly are lying.
Betty Morgret: Its really funny how they have been responding with the same BS for years!! The "guest relations" person responds with "your comments will be sent to housekeeping and the owners!" Obviously, the owner could care less about the conditions!! They need a thrashing! This place should be condemned!!!!! I can't give it a low enough rating!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cristal Koehly: I don't even know where to begin with this rathole. We booked online, the pictures looked nice. All the other hotels were full. Well, I had a bad feeling as soon as we got there. Walking in was dirty, things were broken, etc. I opened the door to my room to a smell. I started looking around at the paint stains everywhere, holes in the walls, outlets with no covers, dirty bathtub, broken toilet lid, BUT the Final Straw was when I lifted the corner of the blanket and the entire corner on the box springs was covered in MOLD, I mean growing green MOLD! There is absolutely NO WAY a person could put a sheet on the mattress and not notice it! I don't think I've ever been more grossed out. I went to the front desk to tell them and get a different room. (we didn't have a lot of time before the concert we were going to, or would have switched hotels) I showed the lady at the front desk my mold picture, she didn't even act surprised! No apologies or anything, acted like it was putting her out to move me to a different room. The second room was just a bad, minus the moldy box spring. No comforter and no fridge. I didn't touch anything I didn't have to, and slept on a small part of the bed. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING NEAR THIS PLACE! The pics on the website are NOT accurate at all!!!! And, I have pics if I need to show proof!
D P: Roaches everywhere. I’d pass on this one
Kori Bathe: Totally gross!
layton 5242: The whole place smelled of old cigarettes and it was so so dirty. Please do not stay there.
Jerry Wides: Hotel needs to be updated. Looking for a place to crash for a night, ok! Blanket on bed was thinner than the sheet!
Teresa Christner: This is the most disgusting hotel room I have ever stayed in. The moment we opened the door, a strong odor of urine and cigarettes was very apparent despite their poor attempts to cover it with Febreeze or air fresheners. No amount of air freshener is going to cover up the stench when the curtain is literally covered in very obvious urine stains. The bathroom was filthy. One swipe of a washcloth and it picked up so much grime and gunk I am fairly sure that is the most it had been cleaned in quite some time. The floor was also gross. No alarm clock, the phone wasn't even plugged in and I couldn't find a place to plug it in to call the front office to complain about all of the things that were wrong. We got exactly one pillow each on a bed that is hard as a rock. The outlets are hanging off the wall and cords everywhere. Oh and let's not forget the broken lock and the smoke detector that was just sitting on the desk instead of on the wall. Sooooo many things wrong here. Run away. Stay literally ANYWHERE else.
Alex Riley: I would give it 0 stars if possible. RUN from this place. Absolutely filthy! Floors looked matted. Shower head fell apart while showering. First towel I grabbed had big brown stain, second looked refolded from last occupant and put back as clean, was also stained. People hanging around parking lot all hours of night. Sketchy place and sketchy people. Moved to a much nicer hotel and for less money!
Miguel Cubero: This place is horrible. We were forced to check-in because we didn't have any options available about 3:30 AM on a Saturday and we totally regretted. First, the place was dirty as hell, stunk like cigarettes, customer service guy looks high. Second, we rented 3 bedrooms and all of them were nasty dirty, carpet was dingy, bathroom mirrors were also unclean, the showers were extremelly dirty, bedrooms reeked like cigarettesand more, bedsheets were nasty and had holes, pillows were uncomfortable, the heat didn't work in one of the rooms and finally three of my friends got bedbugs bites. I would not recommend this place to anybody, it's to worst motel I've ever been in my life.
Michael Klimt: Positive:QualityWe'll how does if I had the money and no place to stay it would be there.at the red lion inn.

We signed her up for 3 more the next week and plan to do more throughout the summer and school breaks!

Bailey Kilty: Baylie and team were fantastic! We had a great time and the food was delicious!
Gary Reeder: First time attending an event like this. Taste Buds Kitchen is awesome. They communicated in advance what they do and don't do. What they provide (everything except drinks) What you are expected to bring (drinks and a willing to participate attitude.)The TBK lead for the night was Amy and she was cheerful, energetic, and spoke clearly with concise instructions. While being entertaining and engaging. We learned some new tricks to use in the kitchen and to cook a great meal. We will be doing this again and dragging (inviting) friends or family along next time.
Maria Bach: Great instruction! Fun and easy atmosphere! Amazing and energetic vibes!! Will do it again 😍
