    Nice upbeat place with a variety of food options. We had a Detroit pizza and some hot chicken tenders. Food was good, better than typical bar food. Portions were huge for what I expected! It’s a younger crowd…. And quite loud. Lol, one of the wackiest song selections. Would like to see this place when it’s warmer and more places are open.

    So many places to eat & drinks to try (incl one named after me just ask Edwin)…so little time!!! The Mac n cheese with chicken is one of my fav dishes!!! You can ask for no 🌶 peppers or put them on the side. They ARE hot!! The patio area is cool to sit in…when the heat isn’t blazing outside! There is still plenty of spaces out room inside to eat at downstairs or upstairs if you get overheated. Lots of comfy fluffy pillows & seating or pull up a chair to one of the bars. Either way, order your food, grab a buzzer, or give your Number & find your best spot to sit & wait until your food is ready. Even when they are busy, I haven’t waited over 10-15 mins for food. When you are spending time with a bestie or your crew, the time clicks by even faster!! Parlor is one of the best KC spots to go for eating, drinking, or partying in the basement. Now they have vendors & nights for you to come shop! The fruity drinks at the upstairs bar with a double shot are right on point!!! Enjoy!

    Picture a high-end food court. 🙂 You don't have to have your mind made up. There's a craft pizza place, mac n' cheese dishes, a vegan restaurant, and a bar. Both dishes I had were excellent and worth the money. Highly recommend!

    Had my son's wedding reception and after party. They really accommodated us well and the food/ drinks were excellent. Modern casual atmosphere with a twist. It also is fully accessible to disabled people including an elevator. Allowing five generations to celebrate together. Thank you 👍

    Excellent late night and after hours location! Celebrated a friend's birthday party. We had a reserved section but we were right in the middle of 5 different on location eatery options. Three levels, two staircases, outside patio, live music, great drinks, clean bathrooms, friendly staff and best of all AMAZE drinks. Reasonably priced and delicious-JMS

    This is a glorified Food Court ( just like the mall but much smaller). The only diff is a waiter comes around to take orders for Adult beverages. It’s loud crowded and has the smell of everything every individual place is cooking. This is not my kind of place, but for a younger crowd it’s much appreciated 👍🏽. The food was nothing special at all. The atmosphere For Young Folks is PERFECT

    Parlor KC's Queer Bar takeover was a standout experience. The staff's exceptional warmth and hospitality instantly made us feel at home. The basement was an absolute blast, filled with great music and a lively party atmosphere. Parlor KC's commitment to inclusivity was evident, making it a must-visit for those seeking a welcoming and entertaining night out. Can't wait to return for more!

    Got a lot of people in your party? This is your answer! It’s like a fun food court with crazy amazing food and a bar to boot! What a concept—everyone gets their own food and then joins up with their drinks and food to congregate and eat! So fun. This is in the Crossroads district of KCMO and it just has a great vibe for going out and having fun.

    Delicious foods, strong drinks, great environment, decent prices for downtown. The environment is great for everything from a date night to a work Team getting out for a gathering. Plenty of different food options. I’ll be going back again for sure.

    Parlor is definitely a must-have experience in KC - with so many different menus to try, everyone is bound to find something to enjoy here! Several of the eateries can also be found elsewhere in the city, so this gives you a taste of some local food spots. There is a copious amount of seating in many different configurations so it's suitable whether you want to eat, hang out, watch some sports, or just take in the city. Each section is unique in its style and decor and offers multiple seating options, which makes it accessible to people of different ages and abilities. We came here right around 11 on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating, with the space really starting to fill up by noon. It's clearly an incredibly popular spot for groups of friends as well as families, and we saw lots of families with young children. My favorite thing that we tried here was the brussel sprouts with rice cakes from Sura Eats - a unique but delicious combination! Their spicy mayo (which I normally don't like) was the perfect complement to the sweet and savory dish. We also got a slider and some salmon from Ting's but there are so many options you really have to come with a large crowd that wants to share or come back multiple times if you want to try everything before they rotate out. Highly recommend!

    Do it!!! This is an adventure! Lots of food choices! Great atmosphere! Great place to gather. Lots of different seating options. I went to Taco Tank and had the nachos. Great surprise!

    Cool concept, trendy space. Vendors’ menus all looked tasty, though I didn’t order well personally. The live music was good, plenty of seating. The parking lot is small though, and street parking can be so messy around this area. Worth a visit!

    What a great spot to enjoy an afternoon looking over the city skyline and enjoy a frosty beverage! There are multiple food choices available to fill any taste preference. The music and tv options aren’t too bad to stop and watch some local sports either. Will not be my last visit

    I celebrated my 45th birthday at Parlor & it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had there. Justin P helped me get the perfect area reserved on short notice. Also our waitress Bailey was phenomenal & took great care of our large group. We’ve been long time fans of Parlor & I definitely recommend them 10/10 for any gathering of friends & family. Big shout out to Bailey & Justin you guys were great & thanks again for hosting us.

    I really like this place because of the vibe and variety of food that’s offered. We had the meet up for our high school reunion here then went downstairs to “the club” and danced the night away. On my most recent visit, my friends and I decided to try multiple different vendors. We tried the Chick N Waffle from KC Mac N Co. I believe the waffle had mac n cheese in it. I wasn’t a fan and my god-daughter said the chicken wasn’t very flavorful. I had the lumpia from Ting’s which I really enjoyed. The dish was kind of expensive for the small pieces received but I guess that comes with inflation. Another friend had the wings combo from Mother Clucker as well as the meat lovers pizza from Providence. The wings and fries had great flavor but the pizza was mostly dough with a small amount of toppings. The pizza was definitely overpriced.

    Bruh that chicken in there is so good! Loved the atmosphere , when I was there they had a live DJ playing a nice compilation of songs and it was barely lunch hour! I think I went at 11 on a Sunday. Very nice vibes. Welcoming even for families. Nice bar too, fun indoor/ outdoor type spaces too.

    My husband planned a last minute reservation for a large space for his birthday. Justin took great care of us and got us all scheduled and setup. Upon arrival our space was ready and our waitress for the evening Bailey, greeted us. Bailey was beyond patient, very kind, and so easy to get along with. Can’t recommend parlor enough. We go here often and have never been let down. Thank you to the awesome staff for handling our large group and making us feel so welcome.

    Visiting from out of town and first time eating there. I got the 4 wing dinner from Mother Clucker! and the chicken was served raw inside. I thought it was just my wings, it was myself and a co-worker who also ordered the 4 wing dinner received raw chicken as well. I didn't notice it at first, because I had put the hot sauce on it, but after further inspection of the wing, I could tell they were not fully cooked. My co-worker and I returned the food and told us he was sorry and offered to make us something else. I declined. They should have offered a refund. The next day, I was sick to my stomach. Don't recommend it!!

    This place is so fancy but also super layed back. Food So far has been awesome. I haven't tried everything they have several restaurants. Or what do you might look like food trucks? Inside building. I do a disk golf putting League each week and the service behind the bar is always amazing.

    Parlor is unique. The first level reminds me of a chic hotel lobby or upsale airport lounge area with a bar. The upstairs feels like a mall food court with a rooftop bar area. It was a great spot for my family to get together and celebrate my nieces college graduation. We enjoyed trying out each other's food choices. It was also a good place for my friends and I to eat dinner before going out to play arcade games at Up Down. My favorite food I've tried is the Korean BBQ fries from sliders. They give you big portion for the money and are very filling. My friends liked the chicken Swarma salad at Sidos Mediterranean. The rice cakes from Sura Eats were pretty good.

  • 5/5 Edward Jones I. 7 months ago on Google
    I checked out Parlor for the 1st time and there are many things to do there. If you are looking for variety, great space and place to hang this is the place to go. It is a great place to hang with friends and meet new ones.

  • 3/5 Shá D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's way too loud in this place, even if trying to be trendy. I mean, I get that at night or for the evening crowd but not for people just hanging out during an afternoon. The food at Tings was really good, service, not so much. They weren't busy so there wasn't much reason for it. I'd only recommend this place at night.

  • 5/5 Through Becs S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Parlor is one of my favorite place to go for happy hour, brunch, dinner, or even to just grab some drinks at the bar. With 6 different restaurants/stands to order your food from, nobody in your party can say they didn't find something they liked. Tacos, Mother Clucker chicken, sliders, bibimbap, noodles, rice, and more! I'm a huge fan of the Mac & Cheese stand. I like to order the Mac & Cheese with Honey Serrano Glazed Chicken Strips. Highly recommend coming for brunch to sip on their bottomless mimosa and Bloody Mary special!

    I came here with some friends while visiting Kansas City, and there were some mixed reviews among our group. The venue is pretty nice, and it’s really nice that it has three stories. Between three of the six different restaurants you could eat at, we were not overly impressed with the food. It was all ok, but it’s just fried food for the most part. For what you get, it’s a little overpriced. I would love to see prices a little lower or the quality of the food to be increased.
