"A few blocks east of 18th and Vine, this unpretentious self-serve restaurant, with origins stretching back to the early 1920s, is the most famous -- and, some swear, the best -- barbecue joint in town."

"Although there are more than 100 barbecue joints in Kansas City, Bryant's—low on decor but high on taste—tops the list for locals, who don't mind standing in long lines to order at the counter."

"Some of the dishes are traditional: steak au poivre with pommes frites, bouillabaisse, brandade, foie gras, escargots and the like. Other dishes are more global."

"This “quirky” River Market French provides “marvelous” dishes in an atmosphere “so Parisian you expect Edith Piaf to jump onto a table and begin a chanson”."
