Summit Grill and Bar - Waldo - (816) 361-9788

Summit Waldo is open for lunch, dinner, happy hour and brunch. Convenient parking on the corner.

Summit Grill and Bar opened in Kansas City’s Waldo community Oct. 27. Co-owners and longtime familiar faces in the Kansas City restaurant community, Andy Lock and Chef Domhnall Molloy, have opened a chef-led dining destination customized for the Waldo neighborhood, bringing the hybrid casual and formal fare of their popular Lee’s Summit concept to a second location.

Summit brings Saturday brunch to Waldo with both Saturday and Sunday brunch service 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Lunch is served Monday-Friday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Dinner is served daily, Sundays 3-9 p.m.; Monday-Thursday from 3-10 p.m.; and Friday-Saturday 3 p.m.-11 p.m. Happy hour is available throughout the restaurant twice daily from 3-6 p.m. and, in another first for the Waldo location, 10 p.m.-midnight with drink and food specials.

Summit Grill and Bar occupies the former Remedy Food + Drink and Kennedy’s Bar and Grill space at 500 W. 75th Street, the corner of 75th and Washington streets. The restaurant seats a total of 126 people – 60 in the main dining area available for reservations and large parties; 40 in a casual, walk-in seating area; and 26 at the full-service bar and nearby tables. The space utilizes surrounding glass walls to create an open feel and bring in natural light. The outer walls around much of the restaurant slide open allowing for open-air dining in warmer weather. A wrap-around patio is currently open to standing bar patrons but will continue to evolve with tables, chairs and heating in the coming months.

Summit Bar and Grill is led by co-owners Molloy and Lock, former regional leaders for McCormick and Schmick’s Seafood and Steaks. The duo opened the first Summit Grill and Bar in 2013 in Lee’s Summit, Missouri with its ultimate success inspiring expansion into Kansas City. Molloy lives two blocks from the restaurant and regularly collects input from neighbors on menu ideas and offerings. They are joined in the new location by restaurant partner and executive chef Po Wang and restaurant managers Katie Vaughn and Mia Wood.
