Kansas City Restaurant Openings, Closings, and News – February 2024

The last couple of months have been a busy time for restaurant openings, closings, and other news.

  • Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill is re-opening on March 6th at the original location on 3906 Bell Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • KC Cajun is closing their restaurant at 3510 E 27th in Kansas City, Missouri. They will be focusing on operating their food truck.
  • Gravity is closing in Prairie Village.
  • Cardboard Corner Cafe is opening a second location at Lenexa Public Market.
  • Dave’s Stagecoach Inn is closing. This has been one of Kansas City’s most famous dive bars. Dave’s might be tied with the late McCoy’s as the bar I’ve spent the most hours in. I have lots of memories of visits to this place. I stopped drinking 7-8 years ago, but I know that Dave’s will be missed by many Kansas Citians.
