50 Best Bar & Grill near Kansas City

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

“Very friendly service, I felt appreciated. My first impression walking in was “Wow, low lighting!” Hate overhead lighting and sterile decor. The decor choices are very entertaining. This place is surprising and compelling. Food was good, had a pork tenderloin and fries (that’s how I judge a diner). They had my NA beer! I’ll be back with my girlfriends.“

“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. 😋“

“I don't drink, and I was hesitant to go to a bar to eat. But this place was awesome. It was a Thursday evening when we went there and it was very quiet. The food was excellent👌 and that is one place we will be going back to. I had the Philly beef and my fiance had the smothered pork chop. Fell right off the 🦴. The next time I go I will be trying their Reuben. We also had a couple of appetizers.“

“buen ambiente y linda divercion“

“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.“

“Awesome food and service. Al, Tim and the staff will take care of you. Highly recommend.“

“super awesome place. great food and super nice people. we will definitely return and will always recommend it to anyone.“

“Loved this little hidden gem! Has a 70s vibe to it. Darker decor. I love places that have secret hidden doors. Drinks were cheap and strong. Food good too. We will definitely be back.“

“At 2:40 the lady at the bar comes yelling it's 3 time to go I look at my phone and asked if we could finish this pool game she literally got in my face yelling bar time is different from your time. Within minutes I was being snatched up and thrown out the bar. I called the cops at 2:43 for the assault I just received cops said they looked at the camera and I was trespassing I asked for my report they said I was in the wrong and I'm the one who called them not thirsty all because I tussled back with the bouncer because everything was in there my purse my pool stick and phone. Who wouldn't tussle back for being snatched up for no reason. My leg is bruised and my toe is sprained. And my new jersey is ruined.

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

“I stopped in here after visiting with a friend. I’m so glad I stopped in. To drink, I got the Royal Lemonade—well balanced. For food, I got the mozzarella sticks and ginger burger (I was super hungry, but had to take home some of my burger). To be honest, the burger is not something I would normally order, but it was recommended and I’m glad I went for it. I would definitely eat it again. The atmosphere here is nice. It’s clean and comfortable. The regulars here are nice and the staff is friendly. You never know when you walk into a bar “that’s not yours” how you’ll be treated. I told my partner that if we lived down here that I could see us coming here often. You should give them a try.“

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

“This is my favorite place to have drinks and watch sports. Bartenders are Awesome. All of them, very personable.

The food is on point. All of it.
Great group of regulars, always new people coming in.

I can't say enough, my entire family enjoys Gaels!

Yes, I humped the World Cup. It is now mine.“

“great drinks and service!“

“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!“

“Best burgers in town and a very fun and good energy atmosphere. Got my daughter addicted to the curly fries and burger.“

“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!“

“We eat here when in the neighborhood. Everything I've eaten here has been excellent and reasonably priced. Speed of service depends on how crowded the place is but it's never been too slow. Quality of service is always very good. Never had a misunderstanding or mistake. When ordering beef it's always cooked my way.“

“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.“

“I showed up at 10:30 pm with two drenched teen boys. We'd just come from a World Cup match and we wanted to eat and watch the end of the Team USA match. They took fantastic care of us. Service was friendly and kind, world cup atmosphere was great, and the food was fantastic! I had the best Reuben I've had west of the Mississippi, and the Alfredo was also excellent. I gave four stars only because one kid said his burger was dry. This place is a gem.“

Update Best Wings in KCMO just get em naked and ask for sauce on the side“

“SHOUT OUT TO JENNY!!!!! Came in for the first time last night. Jenny was our waitress and she was a whole vibe!!!!!! The food was great and Jenny made the experience even better with her humor and providing us with a great experience. Tell Jenny I will be back for my boot 😂😂😂😂.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Beautiful and at a good service“

“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.“

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

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

“Gambles is the place to be! Mark the bartender always treats me with kindness and always makes me laugh! I have a great time every time I’m here and the food is phenomenal. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! The environment and the people are amazing and it’s always a great time to meet with friends play pool darts, and other games!! Just a vibe!“

“Awesome employees and great prices“
