Best biscuits and gravy I've had anywhere. Recommended trying half mushroom and half sausage gravy. The breakfast burrito with Butternut squash and black beans was also amazing. Everything tastes homemade.
The smoked salmon toast and full plate of biscuits and half sausage and half mushroom gravy and bacon were scrumpdiddlyumptious. The salmon toast was probably the star. It tasted as good as it looked and you didn't feel guilty after eating it because there were also greens on the side with a delicious lemon or citrus dressing. The coffee was great and in cute handmade clay mugs. I ordered a bloody Mary and it was ok. The presentation was cute. This place feels like you're inside a good friend's little house with the best bros cooking and serving you. It's a small space but super cute and cozy. Some patrons were loud and obnoxious but at least you know they are having a good time. Love Happy Gillis!
Literally two blocks away, we've just discovered this hidden gem. Walked there , had a great experience, from the staff to the food to the atmosphere, Grade A level for brunch, then walked home and enjoyed our cute little neighborhood. Our Saturday destination from here on out until we spend our weekends at the lake again. Thanks Happy Gillis for an awesome experience!
My friends invited me to go to brunch at Happy Gillis and I am happy I did! It's a small space with lots of character and great food. You have to order first before grabbing a table, so you may have to wait for a bit, but we got lucky and a table opened up when we were ordering.
I got the smoked salmon toast, which was great! My friend got biscuits and gravy, which was really tasty too. Good portion size and enthusiastic/ friendly staff members. Highly recommend it!
Like others, I didn't know about this place. A friend of mine suggested Happy Gillis. We go there and there was a short wait, maybe 15 minutes. The line move rather quickly, but soon after it got rather busy. I line across the building, with more than a 30 minute wait. You have to figure that long lines equal good food. Food was awesome and I loved their buttermilk biscuits. I would go back again, and maybe try lunch.
If I could give more stars I would! We had brunch here, the atmosphere was very calm and cozy. The food was displayed nicely and full of flavor! The bacon was thick, definitely high end food!! We will be coming back !!
I found this place on a whim and so glad I did. This smallish cafe was hopping Saturday afternoon for brunch. They offer a few outside tables and wall to wall tables inside but there still wasn't enough seating. We had to wait a few minutes to place our order at the counter, but we were lucky enough to grab a table immediately after ordering. They offer a limited brunch menu and drink menu. I read previous reviews saying not to miss the biscuits and gravy which is my go to brunch meal. OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!! My half order was plenty, and I'm glad I went with the half mushroom / half sausage gravy. The biscuit was fluffy, and the gravy options were so flavorful. The mimosa was tasty as well. I cannot wait to go back and want to make this a KC cafe requirement for all future trips.
A complete delight! We enjoyed a relaxed brunch in Columbus Park area and are so happy we found this spot. Delicious food and kind service- highly recommended!
This place is adorable! I love the atmosphere! The staff was friendly! The food was fresh! And their Biscuits with mushroom gravy is absolutely delicious! Oh and the bacon is perfect too! 🥰 🥓🤤
Brunch here is really delicious but can be super busy on weekends! The biscuits and gravy are delicious. Atmosphere is cute and inviting. Can be quite loud. Gillis is happy indeed!
