Hereford House is truly a Kansas City staple. The food is consistently prepared and flavorful. I ordered the prime rib medium-rare; it arrived closer to medium than rare. While I did eat it, I mentioned the temperature to the server so she was aware. They also didn’t offer me a side of au jus, which was disappointing. They were offering lobster tails at a very reasonable market price, and we shared one—it was excellent.

The service was personable and attentive throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with low lighting and a moderate noise level that creates a comfortable, upscale ambiance. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Next time, if the prime rib is not cooked rare as requested, I will send it back.

Went here for the first time for KC restaurant week and it’s been on my dad’s wishlist since HIGHSCHOOL. It was delightful! The brown butter and sage pork chop, the surf and turf, the roasted red potatoes, the mashed potatoes, and the carrot cake were delicious!! Our server Alexis was very kind, helpful, and stayed on top of drink refills so well! All the staff were great!

Ok, I try to be reserve on 5 stars but why not, the food was fantastic, service was great, and beautiful place inside.
Our waitress Jennifer was very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was relatively quite with classic rock playing.
Somewhat unemployed at the time so didn’t go all our on steaks but my wife’s whiskey medallion was tender and delicious. My county fried chicken had good breading and thicker meat (not smashed flat like some places) the not country gravy was good. We mixed up the sides and had whipped potatoes, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and gouda corn; also all very good.
Of course finished it off with gooey butter cake with bourbon peaches. SWEET and tasty.
I would certainly recommend for a date night.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Hereford House for their Thanksgiving lunch special, and it was nothing short of spectacular—easily earning a solid 5 stars from me! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with festive decorations that made it feel like a cozy family gathering, but with the luxury of not having to cook or clean up.
The star of the show was their prime rib: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to a flawless medium-rare with that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. It was carved right at the table, and each bite was bursting with rich, savory flavors that paired beautifully with the horseradish cream on the side. Then there was the turkey—moist and flavorful, not a hint of dryness, roasted with herbs that gave it a homey, comforting taste. And don’t get me started on the mashed potatoes! Creamy, buttery perfection with just the right amount of garlic and a smooth texture that made them irresistible. They were piled high and served piping hot, the ideal complement to the meats.
The portions were generous, the service was attentive and friendly, and the overall value was unbeatable for a holiday meal. If you’re looking for a stress-free Thanksgiving feast that feels indulgent yet traditional, Hereford House nails it. I’ll definitely be back next year—highly recommend!

We 2 adults dined in. We picked the 99 duo. 4 course meal. I’m gf and there’s not a gf option for the first course so my other half got to choose. Spinach artichoke dip was all his. I chose the gf desert. Your 2nd and 3rd courses are chose per person. The salad was great he got the prime rib stew. It was a thick gravy while tasted store bought. We both got the kc strip. Cooked and seasoned well. Should have melted in the mouth. The steaks were tough and did not have the texture of a kc strip or any other good cut off meat. I’d compare it to un-marinated or not tenderized London broil tough. Then the kicker was the ticket. I did not look at it before my date paid. We got duped bad. 49.50 a person plus my 10 dollar drink = $109.00 plus tax. Nope 153.61. That’s for dinner and drink $140.00 + $13.61 in tax. We had gift cards but chose to only use 1. If you can’t purchase certain meals with a gift card my waiter should of said something when I got it out. Also the rules and instructions DOES NOT exclude gift cards. See photos please. Note he paid cash for the rest of the ticket. My review on the gf desert is not good either. I’ll be calling to see if I can resolve the situation. If not I’ve got gift cards to get rid of.

I will admit I am a very picky person when it comes to my food and the service I receive. Everything here was absolutely perfect. Josiah was our server and he was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure I had what I asked for. I have found my new favorite restaurant.

The food atmosphere, and service, were amazing! We did have a 15 minute wait for soups another 15 for salads and around 5-10 minutes for our food I will say we had a group of 6 adults and 2 kids also explaining the pricing but the wait was a bit long. Server was GREAT, accompanying our cake fiasco and big group. Over all it was good, wait time was long but food was extraordinary. Would recommend and eat again.
