Grünauer offers a classic Viennese gasthaus menu in the beautiful, historic Freighthouse. Located just north of Union Station in KC's premier dining and arts neighborhood- The Crossroads, Grünauer has been serving authentic Austrian and Central European cuisine since 2010 (with a focus on German and Hungarian as well). A beautiful biergarten, a gorgeous full bar and a lofted event space all add to the ambience and character of this KC classic. Make your reservation today! Classic dishes such as Hungarian beef gulasch (goulash), wiener schnitzel, apple strudel and more are always available. Frequent seasonal changes to our menu allow us to incorporate local produce, hiqh quality proteins and other items that are not available year round.

      Had a wonderful lunch, not crowded at all yesterday. I had the Schwammerlgulasch, a great dish to have on a cold and dreary January day.

      Our meal was absolutely delicious! One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time and we’ll be excited to come back. Booths getting a little worn, you can feel the frame under the cushion but no other complaints at all. Service was pretty good!
