50 Best Bar & Grill near Kansas City

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“This is a small, local bar that is playing sports on a few TV's which I guess makes it a sports bar. But give it a chance. The owner was extremely nice and yet was bantering with the locals like a salty sailor. The wings were surprisingly good, their house sauce was spicy and tangy. And the locals were also friendly. This is not a chain place, but if you want a beer and good wings this is the place to go.“

“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. 😋“

“Bartenders shorts were too short, has a lot of tattoos and isn’t even a sailor or military. Highly recommend 0/5 stars“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic Service and Amazing BBQ!! We got Pulled Pork, Brisket, beans and coleslaw. All of it was fantastic, 10 out of 10 recommend 😋“

“Wings are the best I’ve had outside of Buffalo, but sadly the blue cheese was tasteless. Our waitress was nice but brought us the wrong appetizer and often left our drinks unfilled. If you are a Bills fan, DO NOT come here for a Bills/Chiefs game. It was torture. WAY more Chiefs fans than Bills fans and some of them were downright mean, profane, and vulgar, mocking the Bills fans and loudly chanting, “F*ck Josh Allen!” I brought my 15-year old son and I cannot say that it was family friendly. SO MUCH profanity, plus a TV right in front of our table was playing some awful blood and gore show the whole time we were there. It needed to be tuned to the game or turned off. The TVs kept losing their signal, plus they were often not in sync with each other and were always well behind the live game, so patrons were watching on their phones and loudly announcing what we were about to see happen on the screens. Plus the sound was terrible. Apparently the jukebox was messed up, so a guy was going around turning individual TV volumes up, but it was impossible to hear anything. When my son went to use the bathroom, there was no door on it, just a curtain, which he found uncomfortable. So in summary, really good wings, but don’t expect a Bills-friendly atmosphere. It was a soul-crushing experience and my son was begging to leave, but we couldn’t get out fast enough because we never got a check or the box I asked for. I found a box myself and the waitress finally took my credit card after I waved it around for a few moments.“

“Just had one of those nights where everything came together at Gael’s Public House.
The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming.
The food was next level. You can tell it’s made fresh with real flavor. Every bite hit just right.
The vibe was exactly what I needed. Good music, perfect lighting, and the patio was so relaxing.
Definitely coming back soon.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Walking by it you would never guess this was inside! A great day sitting bar, regular takes and high tops. Service was the best part of it all and that says a lot! This was top two for Breaded Pork Tenderloins in my life! The meat was the perfect thickness, the breading was crispy and DID NOT TASTE LIKE FRYER OIL! The Sloppy Joe had a very good taste and spice! The Beer Battered Fries were very good as well.“

“Este lugar es mágico compañeros de trabajo son de otro nivel , el lugar, el ambiente la comida es fabulosa recomiendo totalmente y en especial de noche es muy único... tuve la dicha y el honor de haber trabajado en THE BRICK si ven este comentario chicos ,muchas gracias por grandes momentos que me regalaron en este mágico lugar ♥️ pidan toooooodo el menú“

“Top notch food and service!!!! Definitely recommend it.“

“Cool atmosphere, friendly service, great food, beer, and just a dam good tim!“

“Moe was amazing! She handled the entire bar/restaurant by herself on a Chiefs Sunday! She served everyone's drinks and food, cleaned up everywhere, wiped off tables if spills or anything happened, cashed out everyone tabs, literally did everything by herself! And she made it look easy, which we all know but that could not have been easy! I really appreciate her and her hard work!

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“This place is an old friend. I run into people, I grew up in here. Same family runs this place still. That is what makes this institution click.
The Burgers still rock and hand cut fries with each order! The pizza I will try out. The beer is Ice cold the place is just! Great hometown atmosphere. Great food. I watched many a royals game here thoughout the years. Even though I don't live in Waldo anymore. I still make the drive to this place no question!“

“Date night. Great place to go. Huge selection of drinks and awesome food. I had a salad with salmon that was one of the vest salads i have ever had and my boyfriend had a bourbon burger and said it was "perfect". We had the loaded spud app and shared the pretzel dessert....the best beginning and ending we could want. Our server, Heather, was so sweet and talked us through a lot of our options. She was super attentive. We will definitely be heading back!“

“I love The Ship! It has become our ladies night out location, with dancing and drinks. The service is always on point. Mazzy always has a great smile, wicked sense of humor, and laugh that fills the room. Kelly supports the fun, and keeps our glasses filled. They are a huge part of why we keep coming back. The live music and inclusiveness makes it feel like family.“

“great food, great drinks , great service what else you need“

“A group of us had lunch at Becks today. I would definitely give it a thumbs up. everyone got something different to eat from burgers, fish, Rueben and chicken fried chicken dinner and chicken fried steak. Our waitress Bea was great.!!! Would hope to get her again when I'm there.“

“Cool hidden spot!! Entrance is in the alleyway and it’s cool, it feels like you’re going into a secret spot 🤫. It’s a nice restaurant. We went during the Buona sera night that they started doing on Sundays. It was awesome. They have two kinds of pasta they rotate out each week, a baked and a fresh pasta🍝 . Delicious!!! The olive oil cake was great too. 🍰Super moist. Would definitely recommend it all!!! Waiters are chill and super nice too! Need to come back for the normal food!“

“This is a great little dive bar. I stopped in yesterday with a friend who needed some cheering up. They had Dunkle on tap which was great. My friend had the Orange Crush cocktail and said it was fantastic. I ordered a salad and a Rueben. The salad was better than any I have had recently- super fresh and their ranch dressing was perfection! The Rueben was excellent as well!“

“We were staying overnight at The Fairfield Inn, and The Summit Grill was recommended to us for a dinner location. We were pleasantly surprised at the deliciously amazing food, quick service, and also our attentive waiter, Travis. I highly recommend the Traditional Pot Roast, and my husband recommends the Chicken-Fried Chicken. If we are in Gladstone again, we will defintely return.“

“The food was great but I wouldn’t come here on an evening of you want good service. My husband and I did a tasting tour near by and wanted something to eat before we headed back to the Air BnB. Immediately you could tell how the experience was going to be when we didn’t order drinks right away and didn’t see our server again for about 15 minutes. She was very obviously more interested in paying more attention to customers that ordered drinks right away. She didn’t give her name otherwise I would I mention here. We only got one water and she didn’t come back to us again. We went to go to the hostess to try to pay our bill, ended up stopping her as she was leaving the bar. I give 2 stars out of 5. That’s only because the food was really good. I don’t think I would come back here. Maybe during the day would be better but I don’t know if I’d come here again anyway.“

“This is a top notch place to go eat and relax. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming, and the food is great. I personally love their pizza.“

“Very Friendly Welcoming Staff! Great Food! Great Drinks. Thank you!“

“love live music and all the amazing artist“

“great service, great prices, had their chips and salsa, guacamole, charred wings and grilled chicken. It was great! if you're looking for a great sports bar, this is the place to go! TV's everywhere, not so loud you can't carry conversation, yet loud enough to hear the plays! very attentive server, even on a Sunday!“

“great bartender from Boston loved the drinks and food.“

“Everything!! Been coming here for years! LOVE IT!!“

“Awesome employees and great prices“

“Home of the best cheeseburger in KC! Cold beer, fun games, and classic dive bar vibes. Right next door to an awesome pizza joint—come hungry!”“

“This place is my preferred one. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this one I keep coming back again and again. The team is very affectionate and the cooking they serve is so good. I am always happy to have a decent meal in this place. Highly recommended.“

“This is definitely the best bar in the Kc area! I’m not even a huge drinker, but I love the atmosphere here. Best bartenders in town! That’s my fave part after the wings! Yes the wings here are the best in town!! The drink selection is fantastic! Once again the bartenders are THE BEST!!! Pool tables, darts, music, live music, open mic, big TVs, what more could you ask for!!! THE BEST!!“

“Great Atmosphere Food And Service Top Notch“

“Went for Trivia night and had the best time! Got the chicken fried chicken - seriously the best. Next time I'll ask for extra gravy but the potatoes the beans so delish. The chicken was juicy on the inside and the breading was crunchy.

Trivia host was EXCEPTIONAL, funny, great mix of questions, and better yet, it was old school paper style.“

“This place is a dumper and I’m here for it!
The sweet & spicy wings are insanely delicious and the pizza is damn good.
Don’t let the stench of the butt-funk carpet scare you away. A couple cold beers and you might not notice it.“
