I'll lead with the most important part- the food is great. We came with a group of 8, (which I don't recommend because seating is limited) and we ate a little of everything off the menu. The guys working the in the kitchen were personable. There are a few tables for outdoor dining that I'm sure would be cute if weather permitted. Only reason I would hesitate before coming back was if it was a group. I'd guess there's only seating for 20 or so inside.
The place is super cute ! It's smaller but they definitely have a lot of seating options. I got the pick two and did two different salads (forgot to photo the second). I added chicken for $4. The flavors were good but definitely could have used a little more dressing. The prices seem fair. Everyone was pretty friendly!
the food is absolutely amazing here, it's super well curated for the seasons and their regular menu is still just as amazing. they have the best bacon ever ! the date bacon melt will always be my favorite. such a prefect blend of sweet and savory, especially paired with the green cholula hot sauce. service is quick and easy, there's only a few employees but they're amazing at what they do. i know it's hard during a lunch rush but i applaud them for their consistency and dedication. there's free water and coffee! the place is filled with really cute plants everywhere and they have a coloring wall where customers are allowed to color and draw and they will hang up past weekly drawings! it's amazing. definitely a favorite and will never stop coming here ! :3
Happy Gillis is such a cozy breakfast spot! The vibe definitely feels hole in the wall. I got the half portion of the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was absolutely divine and paired so well with the dense biscuit. The meal filled me up and was at such a good price point. The service was quick and the staff were super kind. I will 100% be returning and recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good brunch spot!
This hole in the wall biscuits and gravy place rules. Staff are very fun and the line was long but went quickly!
Wow, what a hidden gem! I tried the classic breakfast plate, and I was blown away. Every item was a perfect 10/10. The biscuits with mushroom gravy were phenomenal, and the bacon was top-quality and cooked to perfection. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu--if the classics are this good, I can only imagine how great the rest is!
Happy Gillis is a hidden gem of Kansas City! Located all by myself in a corner of Columbus Park, Happy Gillis is a cozy, sunny, friendly cafe with a concise, local menu! It's a great breakfast option, especially for someone who loves breakfast sandwiches!! You order at the counter and then find a table. On the weekends during breakfast hours, this can feel like a fight for your life. Often they won't let you order until a table clears up if the restaurant is full. It seems like tables turn over fairly quickly, and food comes out hot and relatively fast! The service was kind and efficient. The food is super tasty! I love their simple breakfast sandwiches, and the BLT is a summer seasonal treat! There's plenty of street parking available in this area of Columbus park!
One of the best breakfast I've had in a long time. The biscuits and gravy were fresh, made from scratch and delicious. The thick cut bacon was cooked perfectly. A unique interior with fun mugs, dinnerware, and tables. Definitely a retro vibe. The guys working took our order at the counter almost immediately and are good was out fast. I highly recommend this place.
Happy Gillis is easily one of the best counter-service breakfast spots in the city. Tucked away in Columbus Park (also known as the North End), this cute corner spot is perfect for weekend brunch or weekday lunch. It can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a line on late weekend mornings. But don't stress, just put your order in and wait for a seat to open up. Or if you're a party of two, don't be afraid to grab a seat at the window. All of their food tastes incredibly fresh and delicious. Locals love their biscuits and gravy and I love their breakfast sandwhich. I think my cousin has this place figured out with her order: a half order of biscuits and grave with an overeasy egg and a side of bacon. Yum. The bacon is that perfectly cooked and craveable thick cut. Don't skip their drinks. I love their iced tea or cold brew in mason jars or hot tea or coffee in mugs. They also have some really great looking cocktails and a fridge with various bottled drinks from coke to kombucha. If you haven't tried this spot yet, make plans to check it out soon!
