Houston's restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Kansas City!! I used to dine at the one in Overland Park, Ks. ,but it was closed but there is on in the Plaza in Kansas City left. I generally order the Houston's Hawaiian, which is a steak marinated in a juice that is so tender you can cut it with... More

This location serves very good with excellent service. Their prices are in line with the other restrauants on the Plaza. If you like veggie burger, they have one of the best!

We were specially impressed with the service. We ordered light inexpensive dinners, but were treated like we were big spenders. The server arrived almost immediately to take our order, the food arrived promptly and tasted good. A free parking garage is just down the street from the restaurant.

We started with their incredible spinach dip. Starved, half of us ordered KC Strips. Everyone was perfect. One of us had a full slab of ribs. Every bit as good as Jack Stacks. We had nine for dinner, special event, Houston's on the plaza brings it every time! Service, food, ambiance. All good.

I have been eating at Houstons on the Plaza for about 20 years, from 5 to 15 times per year. The last few years because of busy schedule and long drive, we probably don't make it there more than 5 times per year. But, in all the years i have eaten there, i don't ever remember a time when the... More

This is my husband's favorite restaurant in KC and he couldn't wait to get back for the ribs while we were visiting for a couple of days. We both had the ribs which can be eaten with a fork because the bone pulls off completely clean. The meat and the sauce were delicious. The kids' menu is very limited. My... More

This place has good food and a nice cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and I really can't say anything negative about it. But you do pay for it. This isn't somewhere to be cheap. A burger is $15 at the least, and entrees go up to around $35-$40. If you're prepared to spend the money, I don't think you'd... More

I grew up in Dallas where one of the first Houston's opened up on the north side of town. I always loved the medium pinkish/red light, the bold ceiling woodwork, the plush booths, the exceptional focus on service, and the excellent food and generous (but not overly so) portions of food. In all these things, the Kansas City (Country Club... More

I was pleasantly surprised - try to avoid most chains - glad I did not miss this one! We were there for a business lunch and the service and atmosphere were perfect. The food is incredible fresh and unique. I had their house made vegetable burger - truly one of the best veggie burgers ever. Our entire group all raved... More

I love visiting this restaurant. The house salad is good if you ask them to leave out the cheaper lettuce they have recently resorted to using, The same with all their food-it is still good but they have made the portions smaller and scrimp on some things like cheese bread with your salad. The service is awesome. Don't sit in... More
