Hereford House 19721 East Jackson Drive, Independence, MO 64057

"I recently dined here while staying at the attached hotel for business. I was impressed. The meal I had was absolutely delicious. From the honey butter with warm bread to the wonderful butternut squash dish, ending with carrot cake to go. The presentation was done fabulously. But what really stood out was the atmosphere of the restaurant. The cozy yet upscale decor with a western theme. Loved it. From walking in the door to finalizing the bill the service was perfect. I truly enjoyed my meal and overall dining experience. This is a must visit restaurant for delicious food and a lovely atmosphere."

"Several years, we’ve been regular customers at this Hereford House. Our last visit, the steak and salmon were burnt. This visit we thought we were ordering at happy hour prices, to find out later, happy hour prices are ONLY good in the bar area and not the dining room, as mentioned under happy hour on the website. They continue to over cook our steaks. I hope others have better experiences than we have. They didn’t even offer to comp a drink."

"1st time NOT giving 5 stars for food. All of the steaks for our group were extremely overcooked. Server said it would take 30-45 min for new ones. Thank goodness I got prime rib, and it was perfect."

"I recently ate here, and this was my second visit. My last visit was a long time ago. I remembered this place as incredible. I wasn't as pleased this time. The appetizer, boneless wings, was incredible like last time. The prime rib was good. My asparagus and red potatoes I didn't care for. The creme brulee was burnt on top. When we told the server he lied and said that's oreo cookies. They tried to hide the burnt by topping it with whipped topping. For $105.00 for 2 people I expect more. This will probably be my last visit here as I know of better places to spend this kind of $."

"An excellent steakhouse in every regard, from food to service to ambience. It is also quite busy, well worth getting reservations for supper if you’re going on a Saturday night as we did. We started off by ordering their cornbread for two, which came out along with two hot yeast rolls. All of the bready stuff was seriously good, and I say that as a bread snob. For our entrees, I ordered the set of bacon-wrapped 5-ounce filet portions, along with green beans and an upgraded side of mushrooms. Everything was delicious. My husband had the ribeye along with fries and broccoli, and greatly enjoyed his food, too. We had to splurge on dessert as well, getting a KC Irish Cream Coffee and a bread pudding with flambé. The hot spiked coffee was tasty and potent, but the bread pudding was truly a sensation. Our server lit it on fire right at our table. The portion was large—definitely a dessert to share—and rich, with a thick custard top and bready bottom within a lush sugary sauce with islands of sliced peaches. I love bread puddings and this was up there among the best—people should come here for this dessert alone. Really an amazing restaurant, one that fully lives up to the ratings hype."
