    Quite a unique atmosphere. Beautiful building inside. Gulasch and schnitzel were excellent. Wide range of draft beers on the European side. Apple strudel and homemade ice cream was excellent! Our waiter was Justin, and he was very helpful.

    This was a birthday lunch for my 86-year-old friend. She had casually mentioned she would like to go to Grunauer some time ago and I am glad I remembered! She was delighted and we had a great time. We chose from the lunch menu. She had wienerschnitzel and I had the goulasch, both with spaetzle. We were both pleased and had plentiful leftovers for later. For dessert she had the apple strudel and I had the pumpkin dessert. Wow! So good.

    Hands down the best German food in KC! It's our new go-to spot when we want a nice dining experience with amazing food and great wine/beer selections.

    The food was delicious, the waiter was friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the desserts were fantastic. We were disappointed though that you only have Jägerschnitzel one night a week and it's never the night we can be there.

    We have not been to to Grunauer for a few years and it is just as good as we remember it. Food was great, service was great. Next time we are in KC, we will be back.
