      Food was great price point also very reasonable. Service outstanding. Menu has lots of options but ridiculously small print. Would return and recommend.

      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.

      Our party dined on Saturday evening to enjoy Grunauer’s Saturday special of sauerbraten. It was delicious and our server was very prompt and knowledgeable, especially guiding us to beers that we really enjoyed.

      I was concerned at first that it would be loud inside, but it's not! High ceilings with dark wood exposed beams immediately took me back to dining establishments during my visits to Germany and Austria. Service was great and the food did not disappoint! I ordered Ungarisches Rindsgulasch and my wife had the Sauerbraten. Both dishes were full of flavor and reminded me of home cooked dinner I had at friends in Böblingen. There are great beer options, as well as wine suggestions for your entree. I also ordered Topfenstrudel and my wife ordered the Melange coffee. Both were amazing. We're looking forward to making this a regular dining spot in KC!

      The food was delicious. We thought it would be like German food but had a totally different unique flavor. The service was great! The outdoor seating could have been a little more comfortable
