Deanna EvansFebruary 12, 2014Love the Crossroads Fizz cocktail, the truffle fries and the house-made chips with blue cheese relish. The service can be a little spotty—alternating between friendly and cold in the same visit.
DonovanJuly 14, 2017The Jacobson burger is a perfect blend of savory and filling. A must here. Great business lunch spot.
Super chill atmosphere, the bartenders are great and really know their cocktails. They also have an awesome collection of barrel aged alcohol they age themselves.
Burgers are worth the trip, but the bar and patio make it a spot not to be missed in the Crossroads. Great for dinner with friends or a date.
Erin RoyalsJune 8, 2015Food was so-so (had the braised lamb shank) but my cocktails were legit. Loved the bourbon cherries in my Hemingway and the straight up Negroni was on point.
Michael COctober 9, 2015The Jacobson Burger has earned it's #1 Burger in KC status. The Mac n' Cheese (with steak to boot) was fantastic. Small craft beer selection, cocktails and wine.
This is one of my favorite spots in KC! I love mussels and truffle fries, the Jacobson burger and the cocktails. You really can't go wrong!
Stephanie LynchMay 25, 2013Best caipirinha ever! Crab poppers--delicious noms. Kitchen open until midnight on Fridays--perfect for post-Kauffman Center performance.
Timing of service from bar & kitchen is always a problem. That said, food is good when it finally arrives. Burger is A+ delicious, salmon is really nice. You can probably skip the Dutch babies though.
The Jacobson Burger is perfectly rich and delicious. Rib meat on top of burger makes it have a sweet taste. Highly recommended.
Stefano RelliApril 9, 2015The Fontina grilled cheese sandwich is excellent. I like the ambiance and service. The drinks menu is good.
Virginia LongOctober 25, 2017We enjoyed the salmon and the service was great. Parking is difficult & valet only available on weekends
Dawn MichaelMarch 6, 2015Love this place every time i come! Great drinks great food. All around perfect for a nice date.
Paul KeetonApril 21, 2013Great place but if you're out of multiple wines and entrees please inform us before giving us ample time to choose only to be told you are out of stock.
Kim MartinJune 24, 2013Get the mushroom truffle appetizer...amazing! Damon was great. Bartender Adrien was very helpful. He also makes his own gin!
Get a burger. Don't put ketchup or anything on it. Doesn't need anything. Seriously. Do it. Now.
Viri VMay 22, 2013Great first time! Love the atmosphere of this place. Will be back to try the food!
Jollene HastingsSeptember 22, 2012They use truffle oil in certain dishes including a pasta & fries! Yummm, I love it!
- Beer LoverNovember 20, 2013Hit up Tommy for the latest in beers. Always some great bottles coming through.
Try the Cuban, but get the fries. The chips are weird.
I used to like the food here, but now it's pretty average. There are a few vegetarian options. The only real reason to come here now is the cocktails.
Most inconsistent Restaraunt around the crossroads,you never know when their open or closed ....not so much late night food as advertised either. Bartenders are cool though!
Megan KaiserAugust 10, 2014Don't expect good service when you come here. People talk up the Jacobson burger. It's definitely good, but it's not THAT good.
Cate CrandellSeptember 27, 2012It takes a really long time to get drinks...so either order from the bar or expect to wait!
LeAnn LApril 20, 2013Average food/ average price. Both visits out of a wine on menu! True reflection of management. Indifferent
Angela TruesdaleJuly 6, 2013Waited a full hour for appetizers. Sorry, but this place is not worth the wait.
