Restaurants on the Plaza: About Parkway Social Kitchen

Welcome to Parkway Social Kitchen, your Country Club Plaza restaurant destination. Parkway’s mission is food with a sense of community. The table is a special place that has the power to bring people together, and Parkway is a place where friends and family can gather over delicious food.

We opened our doors in the fall of 2017 and quickly jumped to the forefront of the Kansas City Plaza restaurant scene. We are committed to serving excellent food and utilizing the highest-quality ingredients, sourced almost always from local partners.

You can find Parkway on the corner of Ward Parkway and Jefferson Street, just off the Plaza’s main strip. The Plaza is one of the most distinct, popular and beautiful districts in Kansas City. With over 100 shops and more than 30 restaurants, it is packed with options. Of all those restaurants on the Plaza, Parkway’s mission, food and atmosphere put it above the rest.

Atmosphere

A great KC Plaza restaurant is about more than just food. It’s about the space itself. A great restaurant is designed to create conversation and foster community, not just serve food. Parkway’s mission is food with a sense of community, and every aspect of your experience at this restaurant on the Plaza is meant to fulfill that mission.

From the airy upstairs dining area to red-velvet-lined Scarlet Room, Parkway is a place for friends. The main dining area is large, and it’s never too loud. Bring a large group or a single date. Either way, Parkway has the right table for your meal. The upstairs bar serves as the centerpiece. Just like the rest of Parkway, it’s open and friendly — perfect for conversation.

Downstairs, you’ll find the otherworldly Scarlet Room, a private event space and club. The interior design welcomes you into an immersive experience. Beneath the Plaza’s busy street, this hideaway holds good drinks, music and conversation. It is a truly unique atmosphere among many great restaurants on the Plaza.
