Red Door Woodfired Grill sits in Morningside as one of several Kansas City-area locations built around a scratch kitchen. Everything on the menu is made in-house, then much of it is finished over what the restaurant calls its "smoky trinity" — a house blend of pecan, oak, and hickory wood.
The menu runs through wood-fired and comfort staples: pretzel bites, a spicy blue burger, prime rib eggrolls, a wedge salad, woodfired wings, edamame, tomato soup, and a prime rib French dip. The fried jalapeño chicken sandwich gets particular attention — chicken marinated four days, hand-breaded, dipped in jalapeño buttermilk, and pressure fried, served with jalapeño dipping sauce and homemade corn muffins.
Regulars keep coming back, and service and atmosphere are consistently called out alongside the food. Kansas City Magazine named Red Door Woodfired Grill to its Best of 2025 list.
