For such a famous, popular place, its a pity the waiting staff don't engage with the customers more and ask or offer information about when the original film Top Gun was filmed there, which is why people come here. The food was ok, the service was a bit below that, it was all a bit flat, unfortunately. I loved both of these movies and was excited to go to lunch here, but it didn't hold up to my expectations, sadly š I'm not in the habit of writing up bad reviews, but I have to be honest.

Brisket a bit on dry side. Overall a decent barbecue place. Kansas City barbecue would be rated 3 in Kansas City but the Top gun tie in makes it worth a stop. Service about what you be expect In a tourist area.

Waited a long time even though it was half empty, waiter got the orders a bit mixed up in cheques and was saying that i needed to be charged twice, but i kept saying no - because i was charged appropriately for all my items. I took my card and left after paying. Service was slow although we were like the only table in that section. Lots of mix ups. Space on the tables were cramped. Price was too high for what we got. It was good, just not THAT good. I got one combo, one glass of wine and a shared pickles appetizer. Thr friend mac n cheese balls were also nice. Again, nothing spectacular. They changed where the piano is.

I stop here every time Iām in San Diego to see Chris and Chris (my favorite bartenders) and get my bbq and BS fix. The bbq is on-point for KC style bbq. I know because I grew up in KC. But before you walk in here, maybe you should ask yourself a few questions in order to spare this amazing place future weird reviews:
Am I afraid of bras? Will my life be diminished by reading a few irreverent bumper stickers? Am I put off by people who are unapologetically authentic? Do I prefer whitewashed, soulless, corporate places? If your answer to these questions is āNoā then you wonāt regret stopping here. If ya do stop, give Chris and Chris high fives and hugs for me!
Went there for lunch after completing our Seal Tour nearby, with my Navy daughter and granddaughter. We enjoyed an Kansas City barbecue meal (mainly ribs and chicken), which was comparable to other decent barbecue restaurants. But the āstand outā dish was the corn ribs, which were extremely tasty, hearty, and very unique, at least for us. The atmosphere is fun, historic, and nostalgic, especially the piano and alcove and bar, which we immediately recognized from the movie, āTop Gun.ā We loved the āTop Gunā references, photos, and memorabilia, which included other naval aviation history. It is definitely worth the stop!

After calling Kansas City home for many years, this was such a treat! The food was delicious, the environment is fun. Our server (male on Sat September 27 on the patio late lunchtime), was very friendly and welcoming. ā¤ļø

Went in today with a group of 6. We were ignored. After being sat on the patio it took them 10 minutes just to bring us the menus. Then another 10 minutes past, we asked a server who was walking through if we could get a round of waters, the guy ignored us, looked at, and walked inside. We were all disgusted with the lack of service we walked out. Never receiving any service. Not worth it. What a disappointment.

We came here initially because of the fact the āGreat balls of fireā scene from the original Top Gun was filmed here, which alone made it a really cool visit. However, we were super impressed by how good the food was! I had the pulled pork sandwich with Onion rings and fries, along with a canned Moscow mule cocktail. It was all extremely tasty and I was thoroughly full after! However, this didnāt stop me from also having the sāmores brownie, which was so big the rest of my table had to āassistā me with finishing it haha.
On top of this, the atmosphere outside was really relaxed and it made having conversation easy, and the music in the background was a mix of great songs.
