on Citysearch Sep 07, 2007Did not even get asked if we wanted dessert??? The old Hereford House was a KC trademark. Steaks are only average now. Service is TERRIBLE. And value for price is awful. Don't waste your time trying to entertain out of... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2007Great Steak - that sums it up. Generous bar... ample side dishes.... but it's really all about the steak right? Why pay 1/3 more for a Bentons or Ruth Chris, they all have the same dry aging, the same suppliers... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2006My wife and I dined at the downtown location a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it...as we have every time we've eaten downtown. The steaks were flavorful, good texture and the sides were enjoyable as well.... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 14, 2006Haven't been to K.City for 3-4 years, so I returned to H.House for dinner tonight, with great memories of what it "used to be". I was extremely dissapointed. I should have realized when there was no wait (without... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 15, 2006Downtown location is the best. Still a VERY good steak. Service is sharp, smart and friendly while maintaining a midwestern charm of sorts. PRICES continue to AMAZE as they are easily $15 less than comparable steaks... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2004I really expected more, after the build up by hotel staff. I live in a small town outside of Chicago, and we have several restaurants locally that I feel are better than the Herford House. I was disapointed, especially... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2004I have eaten at the Hereford House several times with family and friends because of its reputation. Each time I was terribly disappointed with the quality of my steak. The service was a bit slow, but they were busy.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 25, 2003We found the food outstanding. Perhaps one of the best prime rib and filets available in the area. Excellent value. (more)

on Citysearch Aug 01, 2003We love the Hereford House. It is affordable for the whole family. They have kids menus, Sunset dinners for when you just want a lite dinner and not to mention Prime Rib lovers Sunday. I do not know what the guy was belly... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 24, 2003Hereford House should not be #1. They don't deserve or honor this status. It's a regular joint if you ask me, nothing special at all about Hereford House. I do remember one time a co-worker and I went to the downtown... (more)
chris_baker
on Citysearch Jul 15, 2003This restaurant has really changed, the food is rarely hot, the steaks are hit and miss, and the service is just OK, it feels like no one cares if you are there or not, and if anything, it's a problem you are there at... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2003I find it suprising, if not dismaying, that Hereford House is ranked the highest for Steakhouses in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Fiorella's (Commonly known as Jack Stack) is far better than anything at the... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2003Good beef with great side dishes. It's downtown so everyone can enjoy it, although road construction makes parking a joke. And who made this list?! I don't think they know Kansas City very well. Where in the list is The... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2003These restaurants have really gone down hill since they hurried to open so many and the owner has left. The management, customer service and quality is terrible, each restaurant is entirely different in attitude.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2003I've eaten at the Hereford House four times in the last 18 months. The meat was just OK and certainly not first rate. Once again on 3-13-03, we made the mistake of trying again. All 3 steaks in our group were charred (not... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2003Mediocre at best. Very poor value for the dollar. I enjoy Outback Steakhouse more, and for a lot less. Pales in comparison to Ruth's Chris. I will never visit Hereford House again.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2003While the Hereford House is good, Jess & Jim's for an old fashioned steak house is better. However beware of the Hereford House in Lawrence. On a recent visit 4 of 6 steaks were over-cooked, one grossly done. The... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2003Overrall not a bad steakhouse. The cuts are fine and tender but I was not 'blown away' like I was at the Capital Grille. In my opinion the Capital Grille has the finest cut of the Delmonico Ribeye anywhere.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003I can cook a more tender and FLAVORFULL steak on my grill. I ordered a filet mignon and they were supposed to butterfly it and they didn't! So it took forever to cook! Very long wait for not that great of food. Had... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003As far as steakhouses go Hereford house would not be in my top ten. The steak for the price is nothing to write home about. Service is fair at best. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003Hereford House is okay! It's not like WOW, great food. I suggest that if you want a good steak then go to Longhorn Steakhouse in Blue Springs/Independence. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003The service was very poor, the steak was not cooked the way I requested. I was alone at 5:30 and waited 45 minutes for the steak. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003No one has done it longer and maintained the quality of the steak. And it is all about steak. Going to the Hereford House and ordering chiken is like going to the rendevu in Memphis and ordering chicken. Clean efficient... (more)
bellis105
on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003After several tries to find the magic here, I've given up and have settled for just a good steak. Nothing spectacular but you can do as well in a lot of other places, too. Service seems to be permanently slow.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003The beef at Hereford house is good but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. The plates it is served on resemble something I would get at a cheep place. Also the meat had no spices which was very disapointing even... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003I have eaten at the HH downtown many times over the years. The place has REALLY gone downhill over the past 5 or so! Lousy service, can't get drinks refilled to save your life, the steaks are ALWAYS tough. Forget about... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003I attended Hereford House with a large group of 21. Every steak was perfectly done, our service was exemplary, and even though it has been since 1998, it is still one of the best steak dinners I have had in my lifetime. I... (more)
Whitti1952
on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003One of the oldest and best steak places in Kansas City. Good service, busy setting, great steak. YOu will pay a good sum for a good steak, but once in a while it is worth it. (more)
smithkev
on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003I think the title of the rating says it all. I can't believe this has the highest rating for the city. For the same price I'd recommend Morton's of Chicago. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003This has to be one of the best steakhouses (been there 4 times) in the country. Even the lunch proportions are quite generous. The atmoshere is wonderful as well as the service. I rarely give an excellent rating on any... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2002The service was very bad. Had reservations and still waited almost an hour to be seated. Waiter was poor service and food was luke warm. Not worth the price at all. Try Ruth's on the plaza or Colony much better.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2002Absolutely the best. I love steak (very un-p.c., I know). I make it a point to try other steak houses from time to time, but Hereford House beats them all every time. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2002I'm sorry, I've lived in the Kansas City area for over 8 years now and Herford house doesn't even come close a really good steak house. I have to recommend Ruths Chris Steak House. I cant believe its not listed as #1,... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2002The owners of the restaurant must be paying reviewers big bucks to rate their restaurant. It's very little past a fast food joint. An upscale Rodehouse...........without the peanuts!... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 03, 2002Have eaten steak in seven of the ten restaurants you listed. All good but for the best steak in the KC area, go to Mama Mia's on 20th Street in Leavenworth. Both the KC Strip and the Filet are the best in the area... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 03, 2002In the past, Herford House has always been one of the best Steakhouses, but don't let their past reputation "Steer" you to quickly into their parking lot, which lacks decent parking. The prices are good, but their... (more)
