KC Brunch [4/13]

By 8:00 AM , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The fourth brunch spot that we tried was Room 39 located in the KU Med/Volker district of Kansas City. They're a small spot that runs in a farm-to-table fashion. Let me preface this review with the fact that I love midtown, so I was really excited about trying this place. In addition, Ben and I had pegged Corner Restaurant as our favorite (and find ourselves wanting to go back), so I think our expectations were high.

 
When we got there, there was a short wait. This was to be expected as it was brunch time and I still couldn't wrap my mind around making a reservation for breakfast... Anyway, we of course ordered the bottomless coffee, and then perused the menu for things that sounded yummy. Here's what we landed on:

  • "Croque Madame" - shaved ham and gruyere on grilled bread with fried eggs and potatoes. (Ben ordered his eggs over easy though).
  • "Smoked Salmon Scramble" - house cured and smoked salmon with cream cheese, scallions, and soft scrambled eggs, served with breakfast potatoes and toast.

 
 
Overall, we had heard good things about this place, but it wasn't our favorite. The food was good, but overall, not the best we've had at the places we've been. I did really enjoy the cream cheese in my scrambled eggs - this is not something I'd ever had before - and I really enjoyed my coffee.
Based on the food and service (waiting for things, etc.) we'd give Room 39 a  6.5/10!
