“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. The food and beer was awesome- but what really took the cake was the service. The manager, Ashley, went above and beyond and interacted with our daughters. Showed them the kitchen, gave them stickers, and printed them their own personalized cartoon characters to color with while they waited. AND brought them out bowls of ice cream to decorate for dessert! What an awesome experience it was for us!“

“Had an amazing waitress (Bri) who took care of us and seemed to enjoy the questions of the menu and the environment! She did an amazing job making the small wait worth while... only took 10 minutes to be seated, so hats off to the staff!!!!“

“Took a lady on a first date and chose this because we were walking the area. The food was great and we drew our server as Javad was super attentive, even while training. The only downside was the level of music while trying to talk across the table. I’m sure if I’d have though to bring it up to our server, he would have handled that for us as well.“

“Ransford (our server) was the best! The parmesan crusted chicken is definitely worth the hype. I also ordered a dragon fruit margarita. Our server asked me if I wanted a single or double (I wasn't sure but double is more) and that's exactly what I was seeing 🤣🤣🤣“

“The Boots on the Ground Night was Awesome!!! I loved the decor, the cookies, the fans and boot shots😎 A great place to relax and enjoy oneself, with No Drama...“

“Dotte Spot is our "go to" for consistent, amazing food and wonderful, personable service. Best chicken cobb salad and patty melts we have ever had. 😋“

“I went there this past weekend and the food was excellent. Of course I think it had a lot to do with how amazing our server Logan was! She was one of a kind and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced service as well as hers. Definitely consider changing it to Famous Logan’s!“

“Food was delicious & drink’s amazing“

“it was not the great experience I thought it would be, but for anyone on. a budget this palace serves enough per plate to feed an army. I am at KUMed, so taste buds are way off but everything seemed so salty. they also had no recall of my soda which I ordered online because it red soda. when my son came back with diet whatever I almost flipped him over. Maybe that's the swelling of the brain???🤔🤔🤔 regardless, my favorite husband has had a black and blue burger several times and he loves them. I get the feeling it's a dine- in kind of place.“

“Great Music...good food...great staff...highly recommend“

“good chow friendly staff putting g up with crazy Nebraska people“

“The service was great, it has been 3+ weeks since my visit. I forgot the gentleman's name that served us, he was enjoyable to have as a server. The food was pretty good and there atmosphere was great. Went with2 other truck drivers from the company i worked for.“

“Great food which was delicious and plenty.“

“This Chili’s may be the one shining light in this town. After a long day of driving and checking into the disaster of the Country Inn down the street, a triple dipper and to-go Marg from here gave me the will to live again. Congrats, Speedway Chilis, you saved a life tonight.“

“Visited here on a Saturday and used my $20 dining credits. Overall, the price of things are definitely steep. The menu is relatively small. The food was really delicious and I have zero complaints with that. But the best thing was the wonderful lady that took care of me and my order - she was seriously so nice! It was a breathe of fresh air to actually have a customer service interaction with someone that was so pleasant.I was happy that Marquee had a decent variety of options in this price point and had some other ala carte items that made up the full $20. The menu on the Penn Play app and the physical menu in the restaurant are slightly different with the physical menu showing a few more selections. This is annoying not having the same information in both locations. Also, you still cannot order via the app if you want to pay with dining credits. I was told by Penn themselves that this is not live yet Hollywood advertised it as such.My order took less than 15 minutes (estimated time) and had condiments/silverware in the bag. I ended up reheating this for a later meal and it was honestly so delicious. The chicken and waffle meal (with breakfast potatoes) was way better than I expected and would order it again if given the chance!“

“drinks as well as food very yummy ,My favorite is the double burger Sliders.“

“Restaurant sits in the upstairs portion of the casino overlooking the Kansas Speedway. Nice open space with plenty of TV's above the bar, as well as individual TV's in the booths. Ordered the Texas Nachos, Philly Cheesesteak with a side of onion rings, and a side salad. The salad was pretty standard. The nachos were very good. Chili had good flavor. Philly cheesesteak was also good. Overall, pretty good food items. Especially for casino food. There are also sports betting kiosks sitting at the entry of the restaurant if you want to gamble on the games they have televised haha.“

“Very good food and friendly service.“

“Food was great! Got to try the honey chipotle chicken strips with fries AND Mac n cheese!!“

“Went there today after a long day at KU Med. Staff were absolutely amazing! Beyond friendly and helpful especially being from our if town and not know much about KC. Food came quick and was just as awesome as their customer service. If you want a good meal and a bunch of friendly smiling faces this is the place to go! Managers were awesome as well! Nicest ihop I have ever been to hands down! We will be at KU for a while and we will forsure have to make another visit!“

“I was in village west Hooters when I was confronted by what apeered to be a manger never said the waitress's had told him I was taking picture's of them I did not know it was there policy of no picture's but the manger called me out in front of other customer's I thought that was disrespectful to me and that was wrong I will never step foot in there ever again“
