Whether you're in Kansas or Missouri, you can find some of the best restaurants in the country.
In Kansas City, customers can saddle up to a bar to chow down on smoked brisket or dig into a bowl of gumbo while enjoying the ambiance of live jazz.
But sometimes we don't have the time or energy to dine out, and we prefer takeout.
And we know that not all takeout is created equal.
That's why we created this list of Kansas City restaurants that are dominating the takeout and delivery game.
The ten restaurants below have outstanding reviews on Google and are recommended by thousands of customers who use Menufy-built online ordering sites!
