Parkville

Restaurants in Parkville, MO

Your Guide to Parkville Restaurants

Parkville’s bustling Main Street business district sits against a backdrop of limestone bluffs and the Missouri river, bordered on one side by the Kansas City Metro area and the other by unincorporated Platte County. That’s why Parkville can feel like a small country town despite being only 20 minutes from downtown Kansas City, and it’s why the many great restaurants in Parkville, MO, have remained somewhat hidden from the public eye.

Named after Colonel George S. Park, a veteran of the Texas War of Independence, Parkville was founded in 1844. The city, which was originally a steamboat landing, has been slowly growing ever since. The addition of Park University and the growth of business along Main Street have boosted the city’s commercial appeal, all while maintaining the small-town vibe and beautiful surrounding nature.

You won’t find tourists swarming the best Parkville, MO, restaurants like you would in some other areas of Kansas City. This is a place for locals, people who are in it for the long haul and eager to support their neighbors’ businesses.
