    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.

    Upscale traditional Austrian fare. Just fantastic, mains, desserts, and beers were wonderful, even the dinner salad was remarkable.

    My wife and I went for our anniversary. Our server was very kind and really helped make our evening special. They answered any questions we had about the menu and made some really wonderful and insightful suggestions. I had the Rittenschnitzel, which was a thin cut beef dish, and it was spectacular. The sauerkraut, my goodness, was easily the best I’ve ever had. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Grünauer is a must-go for those who love German, and similar, cuisine. The prices are a little higher than you might think, but overall it was worth every penny. I’m definitely going back. Next week. Try the Schnitzel.

    Overall, enjoyable place with good food. The service was very fast/rushed. Felt like they were trying to turn tables as fast as possible. Also, this was a Tuesday evening...was not packed.

    We only have a few restaurants we consider our most favorite and this is one of those restaurants. We lived in Germany for over 5 years and often miss that cuisine, and Grunauer fills that desire. The staff are most accommodating and makes a dining experience even better. Great food, great place.
