About this business

The idea behind blue bird bistro is a simple one. Actually, it's more an ideal than an idea. An ideal that starts with a passion for organic food and our desire to share its benefits. A belief in pure, all natural foods unburdened of artificial additives and preservatives. A responsibility to promote sustainable foods and the positive impact that it makes on our world. And a commitment to work closely with local farmers who share in these ideals. The result is an eclectic mix of flavorful, delicious organic fare, ideal for t... read more

Won't go there again--ever! – This Bistro was highly recommended by a friend who had, apparently, not been there in some time. The place is filthly, the food was not even close to hot and terrible besides. I ordered something with rice and veges and green curry sauce--no flavor at all--and totally overpriced. The bread was so dry I figured they had left it on the counter to dry out for the birds! With so many wonderful places to eat in KC I won't miss this place at all.

Very disappointing – I've been to Blue Bird 5 times in the past, always liked the food. Organized a lady's luncheon and could not have been more disappointed. Our food totally lacked flavor and was served lukewarm. The bread was so dry it must have been a week old. Since we were all so disappointed in our entrees, we thought dessert must be good. Not. The $11 chocolate pate had a sauce over it that burned your mouth - not hot, just crazy spices. On the bright side, our server was nice and friendly.

Makes me consider moving to Kansas City! – After living in Brooklyn for the past 6 years and being so in love with all the neighborhood quaint, relaxed and cozy eateries, it was very difficult for me to adjust to midwest living (I live in Tulsa, OK) with the favorites on their restaurant list being variations of chains. But someone tipped me onto Kansas City's vibe and somehow we stumbled into Blue Bird Bistro. And the heavens parted! There is life in the midwest! Pretentious? Not in the least! Down-to-earth, very relaxed, m... read more

Good sometimes; mediocre others – I've eaten here several times and have had hit-or-miss experiences. Some of the food is outstanding, and some is just so-so. The server we had last time was nice enough, bohemian and funky, but she spoke to us in a sing-songy voice like we were babies. Then she would turn and talk to a coworker in a normal voice. It was odd. We were seated last time at a deuce that was next to a set of shelves adjacent to the door to the upstairs where there was a special tasting going on and we were constan... read more

Disappointed- pretentious atmosphere, food was not worth the cost – My husband and I went to brunch on a Saturday. I was so exited because I usually love going to a place like this. My husband is a total "meat and potatoes" man, so it's usually a real treat. The food was plated beautifully, but it was nothing more than OK tasting. The polenta was mushy and tasteless, the gravy sweet and floury tasting and the bison sausage patties tasted like wind-socks. The service was fine, but everyone (wait-staff and customers alike) was... read more

great local place, best organic restaurant in KC, casual yet upscale – This is a wonderful place to eat in Kansas City. It is really unique because they use all organic ingredients and as much local as they can get. I've been there many times for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and every time I've been extremely pleased. Their staff is always really friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I love asking them all about the local ingredients and such. I usually go home with one of their daily specials menus. These are so g... read more

Best organic food restaurant in Kansas City. – Best place in Kansas City to eat really good organic food. The menu has very good vegetarian choices as well as meat entrees. I was really pleased when the Bluebird Cafe began to include meat in their menu as I am not a vegan. However, as one who eats organic foods, I was delighted to see a menu that embraces the diversity of clientele. There is something here for everyone: hamburgers to tofu, tea to wine. It is not enough to be organic, but it must be tasty too, which the chefs... read more

Good lunch – No longer purely vegetarian, Bluebird now serves some meat, good curry, and daily specials usually include a pizza and pasta. Just outside downtown, good place to get away for lunch. Now open for dinner on the weekends, and happy hour on friday.
