We have an incredible dinner experience at Gram & Dunn! The restaurant was beautiful and festive and the menu was fantastic. But the best part of our experience was most certainly our waitress Andrea. She was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, so fun and engaging, knew the food and drinks so well and guided us well when we asked for help. She was an absolute delight! If you go here you should ask for her!

My wife and I thought the food was very good and it was a good value, it was the first restaurant we have been to where you have access to all you can eat sides and salad bar and you get as much meat samples of everything they offer continually brought to your table. We loved it, worth driving an hour to and fighting Kansas city traffic and construction.
