    We heard Hogs head had the best hamburger in KC so we tried it. All four of our party got the bacon cheese burgers and fries 2 got them with eggs and they were more than accommodating to leave the egg off the others. They were super friendly went out of their way to make sure we were happy with what we ordered. Suggest drinks. It was a great relaxed atmosphere!

    On this our third visit, once again we had a delightful evening. With a large group of nine, we had impeccable service, perfect timing, and delicious meals for the entire table. This is such a lovely place to have a quiet meal, with resources from local farmers and vendors. It's a gem indeed!
