Experience Kansas City’s best dining at the Freight House Restaurants. Three of the city’s best restaurants, Jack Stack Barbecue, Lidia’s Kansas City and Grunauer are housed together in the historic building.
The restaurants have won this acclaim from press and public alike, with glowing reviews in Gourmet Magazine and the Zagat Guide to America’s Top Restaurants.
Each restaurant offers its own distinct atmosphere.
Lidia’s Kansas City is the vision of celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich. Lidia’s delicious cuisine wins the distinction of being named Kansas City’s Most Popular Italian Restaurant by Zagat.
Jack Stack Barbecue, Kansas City’s Best Barbecue Restaurant, serves up classic barbecue cooked to perfection. Zagat has recognized it as one of “America’s Highest Rated Barbecue Restaurants.”
Our newest addition, Grunauer, is a distinct blend of German cuisine and elegant atmosphere. The Viennese venture is run by acclaimed Chef Peter Grunauer, whose resume includes highly acclaimed former New York City restaurants Vienna 79 and Fledermaus, as well as a string of successful European establishments.
