I'm a diner person at heart and love nothing more than a good, old-fashioned diner experience. Now, I have found one less than a mile from my home. Went in for a quick breakfast and could not have been more pleased with everything about this place. The food was great and very reasonably priced - fresh, warm cinnamon rolls at no charge were a wonderful start - and the service was as close to perfect as one could expect. Cannot wait to get back and try some of the other breakfast items as well as the many dishes on the lunch menu. Two enthusiastic thumbs up ... and that's because I only have two thumbs!!

The strip steak was perfect. Great wait staff, fun decor (check out the timeline!), good prices, and perfectly prepared food. This is my new favorite breakfast restaurant. AND they salt very lightly so you can flavor to your personal taste. As someone who doesn't like a lot of salt, this was a nice surprise!

Great food and home town atmosphere! And where else can you get a free cinnamon roll for each person when seated?!!! This place was great and we will definitely be back!

What an amazing place. We are not from around here and spent about 20 minutes looking for a local breakfast spot. I am so happy this is the one we clicked on. Being warmly greeted when we walked in to the warm cinnamon rolls at the table and amazing food!

Family ame in town from Omaha for the NU game and grabbed a quick bite to eat before leaving town. Landed on this cute neighborhood place. Waitress was awesome getting us to our seat quickly and the place was nice and busy. Ordered food and it came out quick. Everything was good with no complaints. The star of the show was the complimentary cinnamon rolls. YUMMY! Good place to check out for breakfast or brunch. I think the also serve lunch and pry dinner too.

Oh I love a breakfast spot! This little place in downtown Lee's Summit is a must! You get a hot and gooey cinnamon roll when you are seated with a menu. While the menu is mostly breakfast standards, the food is excellent and of ample portions. The value is tremendous as well as leaving with a full tummy ready to have a day!

We love Neighborhood Cafe and we visit all the time. Michelle is wonderful and always takes such good care of us. The food is always good. A month or so ago, we noticed a change in the gravy used for biscuits and gravy and the country breakfast burrito - and it just didn’t taste the same. It was good, but my husband and I liked the original better. We went back last week and the “old” gravy was back!! It is so good!! Keep this gravy!! Haha
