Westside Neighborhood · Kansas City, MO
New American food with farm-to-table sourcing, a dog-friendly patio, and a genuine neighborhood soul — at 1663 Summit St in Kansas City's Westside.
Neighborhood Restaurant
The Westside Local is exactly what the name says — a local place on Summit Street, rooted in the Westside neighborhood and built for the people who live there. The kitchen runs on farm-to-table sourcing, which in KC means seasonal produce, quality proteins, and a menu that shifts with availability.
The atmosphere is warm and a little quirky — the kind of place that gets a loyal following not because it's trendy but because it's genuinely good. The patio is dog-friendly. Brunch on Sundays is a neighborhood ritual. Happy Hour runs Tuesday through Friday for the after-work crowd.
What Guests Say
"Meatloaf with mushroom gravy is genuinely the best I've had in Kansas City. The grilled cheese with tomato soup is the most perfect lunch plate — every single time."
"The patio is unbeatable in the summer. Dog-friendly, neighborhood people, good food. Sunday brunch here has become our weekly ritual."
"Happy Hour is a great deal. The Brussels sprouts and tots carry a table easily. Love that they take vegetarian and vegan seriously — not just an obligatory side salad."
