The name "BLU HWY" is inspired by the book Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon, who travels through America using the less-traveled roads of the blue highways. On old maps, the back roads were colored in blue. Similarly, our menu celebrate America and its many influences...with a BLU HWY twist. The chef-inspired dishes will evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity, but at the same time maintain a focus on current nutritional and dietary preferences. Presented to you by the culinary team and creators of La Bodega, BLU HWY is located right off the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, MO. We offer lunch, brunch, dinner, and happy hour! Join us for live music on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. And don't forget about our weekly $20 lunch prix fixe!

Had a great dinner at Blu Hwy with my daughter. There are plenty of vegetarian options. Shishito peppers app was so good, as was the corn chowder. They even comped our dessert for my birthday. Our waiter was the best!

My first visit to Blu Hwy, but I'll definitely be back. Our server was great, attentive but not pushy. The menu had many brunch choices that all sounded tasty. I ended up with the biscuits and gravy with breakfast potatoes. Good choice! Soft and slightly sweet biscuits, flavorful gravy with sausage that was more like kielbasa than pork sausage, and the potatoes had peppers and onions cooked in. I can't wait to return because the Cobb Salad sounded great. We went on a Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and most customers were sitting outside as the weather was beautiful. But in or out, it wasn't crowded. I had reservations, but at least on this date, I didn't need them.

Great place. Had a live band/musician. Food and vibe were good. Service over all could have been better. Especially the order taking and the drinks. Live band could have been the issue the server asked us to repeat ourselves and forgot one app. Drink took a good 20$ and even longer for our second round.

It was fine. Happy hour humus and deviled eggs were good. The wine was fine, size was small. The dinner portions were also very small for the price. Drinks apps dinner and dessert and we had no leftovers and spent about $70 per person. The entree was not bad but pretty mediocre. I don’t mind spending money on dinner if I leave raving about a dish or with good enough portions for left overs but this wasn’t the case. You can get a better meal at many other places for the price. Cute restaurant. There was a live musician at the bar so that was cool. If I went back I’d only go for happy hour and sit outside.

It was a birthday celebration and the staff was very attentive. The food was very good, with appropriate portions. (Not overdone or excessive). We very much enjoyed our dining experience
