“typical stadium concession area, this one for Children's Mercy Park. Prices too high, food barely better then blah, service is usually cheerful because most are volunteering for charity.

Vegetarian options: there is a vegetarian Italian Sausage Sandwich.“

“If your grandma had a dive bar phase and your uncle still owes the jukebox money, this is that place.

Bill’s 32 West is like if Cheers got hit with a shot of Fireball and a loose interpretation of karaoke law. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the smell of bad decisions and grilled cheese, which I believe is their signature scent. The bartender poured my drink like she was mad at her ex—strong, cold, and with a silent warning.

Some guy named Randy tried to sell me a snowblower in June, the jukebox played everything from Johnny Cash to Megan Thee Stallion without judgment, and the bathroom graffiti taught me more about the human condition than therapy ever could.

10/10 would stumble in again. Come for the drink specials, stay because you lost track of time and someone stole your left shoe.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent place, trankilo and very good atmosphere, 100% recommended to spend a pleasant time and enjoy a delicious meal and good chelas!(Original)Excelente lugar, trankilo y de muy buen ambiente, 100% recomendable para pasar un rato agusto y disfrutar se una deliciosa comida y unas buenas chelas!!“

“My boyfriend and I loved it here! Our server, Yeli, was quick and friendly. We got half priced appetizers, calamari was seasoned well and yummy! We also got the cheese curds, and as someone who was born and raised in Wisconsin I can proudly say they were DELICIOUS! The chicken in my chicken fettuccine was perfectly cooked and seasoned, some of the best chicken I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The noodles were so rich and buttery. We will be sure to come back! ❤“

“Amazing food and service will go again when I am back in the city.“

“Visited Johnnie’s West to watch Chris Stewart and The Full Sound playing one night. Johnnie’s is a nice neighborhood bar with a bright clean atmosphere, lots of bar food options from tacos to grilled Philly sandwiches, wide selection of draft choices and plenty of seating.“

“Taste good clean good selection“

“Omg 😳 están súper ricas , me recordó el sabor de mi abuelita 👵 cundo ella hacía en la ciudad de MX ,, flor de calabaza y huitlacoche,“

“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.“

“My husband and I were traveling after we left the taco and tequila festival and I wanted some soul food but didn’t know where to go and I love the little holes in the wall 😂 I grew up around them and I stumbled across this fine gem. I got …

You have to go early. My 1st time here but my Sweet E has gone here for many years. It is cravable. Be careful with the hot oil sauce.“
