Overland Park for Foodies
Pack your appetite and explore the food scene in Overland Park!
From famous Kansas City BBQ to the largest theatre restaurant in the U.S. and more, OP experts have compiled the ultimate itinerary to explore Overland Park one bite at a time.
Breakfast & Brunch
Early morning, lunchtime, or that magical brunch time in-between — Overland Park has your cravings covered with an amazing breakfast and brunch scene.
If you need a jump start to the day, drop by McLain’s Market for a delectable pastry and house-roasted coffee. For a more hearty start, Santa Fe Café dishes out classics that feel like you’re right at home.
Want something out of the ordinary? Stop by Atomic Cowboy. Home to Denver Biscuit Company in the morning and Fat Sully’s Pizza after 11am, they’re as big on taste as they are on portions.
KC Barbecue
Barbeque is close to our hearts here in Overland Park. If there’s one type of food you need to try during your stay, it’s world famous Kansas City barbecue.
Local favorites include chef-driven, traditional fare from Q39 while Brobecks Barbeque has a spin on typical KC barbeque and serves their meats with their specialty rub and no sauce.
For a fork and knife barbeque experience, head to Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue and try their signature burnt ends.
Family Friendly
Overland Park is a family place and you'll find no shortage of kid-friendly restaurants around town.
Local favorite Nick & Jake's has a kid's menu made with picky eaters in mind, along with options for the more adventurous. If your crew likes burgers, Sickies Garage has 50 burger options on the menu and a relaxed, roadhouse atmosphere.
For fast, casual and delicious go to SPIN! Pizza where the kid’s meal includes an entrée, a drink, plus their favorite mini gelato.
Sweets & Treats
No foodie itinerary is complete without dessert. Visit I Am Frozen Dessert Cafe, named one of People Magazine's "Top 10 Ice-Cream shops in the U.S.," and try Thai inspired sweet treats.
McLain's Market in downtown OP is a dessert lover's dream, offering a stocked pastry case guaranteed to make your trip a little sweeter.
If you have a donut shaped hole in your life, got to LaMar's Donuts and Coffee to experience a local favorite you'll keep talking about.
Fun & Games
To add some friendly competition to your itinerary, have dinner and drinks while you play a few rounds of your favorite games.
Craft Putt pairs local craft beer and classic bar food with indoor mini golf, or you can really practice your swing at Topgolf.
To get in on the pickleball action, Chicken N Pickle has pickleball courts and yard games, plus ice skating in the winter.
If board games are more your style, Cardboard Corner Cafe has hundreds of board games to choose from, and their waffle selection is almost as expansive.
