Don't judge a restaurant by its exterior. Portia's Cafe is located at 3840 East Truman Road in Kansas City. It's family-run and has been operating for over 40 years which says a lot.

...Best place for breakfast and the staff was truly hospitable and super nice... When we told the waitress that we were from out of state and that this was our first time here, she was shocked and wanted to know how we found out about them. Everything is made from scratch and prepared fresh...When word got around that we were from Texas, the cook, Lisa, came and talked to us. (Source.)

I didn't really have a problem with anything about this venue, it was not anything spectacular either though. I definitely got the feel of a "Mom & Pop" neighborhood diner, which I appreciated. (Source.)
