| Comments: | What an amazing steak. I like mine well-done and they manage to get it perfectly done and STILL JUICY. The service is very professional. Ambience is quiet and classy. I don't think many locals come here because it is located on the roof of the Westin Hotel. Anytime someone asks me for a good steak, and price is no concern, I recommend Bentons. It is much better than Hereford House, Savoy, Houstons, Capital Grille, Golden Ox, etc. |

| Comments: | Every time I have been here the food, service, and atmosphere is outstanding. Everything about this place is top of the line. This place teats you like gold if you are in a suit or jeans. The atmosphere is that of a very fine restaurant (I highly recommend for special occasions), but the ownership and staff are great at making everyone feel special and comfortable. Not to mention they back this all up with fantastic top of the line food. None of my friends that I have recommended CC's to has been dissapointed. |

| Favorites: | Filet Mignon |
| Comments: | If you're looking for the best steak in Kansas City, you have to
try the Majestic Steakhouse. I've been to the Hereford House, Yahooz,etc. and I still think the Majestic serves the best steak. I recommend the Large Filet cooked medium with mashed potatoes. If you like entertainment while you eat, make a reservation for the downstairs area when they have live jazz. Also, a little known secret is their "members
only" cigar bar on the third floor. Trust me...just go up there and act like you belong. Definitely worth the drive to Downtown! It's nice to get away from the 119th Street clutter once in a while. |

You can choose to enjoy either a quiet dinner upstairs, or dine downstairs with live jazz on Friday and Saturday evenings. Hope you like it as well as we do! |

| Favorites: | Ribeye |
| Comments: | We hadn't been to a Ponderosa for a long time and we were not disappointed on our latest visit. Everything we had was good from my ribeye steak which was perfectly done to their buffet line of pizza, salads, sides, etc. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had drink refills and that our used dishes were removed promptly. My only minor complaint is that their dessert bar is in a narrow area behind a booth in a high traffic area so you are always having to move out of the way of someone either going to or coming from the buffet area while you are trying to get your dessert. I think this place offers a pretty good value for the money and is worth a visit. |

| Comments: | Have heard great things about this place, and they're all true. The free rolls are outstanding. The steaks are hand-cut on site and excellent, as were the ribs. As it was our first time, the manager brought us a 'goodie bag' with peanuts, a to-go menu and a coupon for a free appetizer next time we're going to be there. |
