“Went in to get some food right before the game, super friendly staff and got my food fast 👏🏻 and the food was delicious 😋 👌🏻“

“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us“

“Fantastic atmosphere paired with an outstanding selection of wine and dining options !!!“

“Best host/server Ariana! Food was great. Drinks weren't very strong little watery not bad after ordering the passion fruit margarita was really good. I will say my coffee drink was good not much rum but still tasty. Food options were very good and satisfing.“

“Best trivia night ever! Go on Wednesdays“

“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.“

“I just want to say thank you to this staff! While playing the pop-shot game I lost my grandmothers ring. It fell off my hand while shooting. I gave my information to the staff in hopes they would find it at close. One of their staff stopped people from playing the game and got INTO THE MACHINE and opened it up to look and find my heirloomed ring in the middle of a busy Friday night. I cannot express how grateful I am for the staff for understanding the importance of that ring and for helping me find it.“

“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've lived in North Kansas City going on five years and I'm very pleased that my local bike shop happens to be such a great one! I've purchased two new bikes through Velo and had their help creatively rebuilding a third vintage bike. This boutique shop has helped me maintain, customize, and revitalize my small bicycle fleet, all while educating me on best practices and tips for home maintenance. They have a DIY repair station that has come in handy for me on a few occasions when I just needed to complete a small task, but did not own the tools necessary to do it myself. I really enjoy steel framed gravel bikes and they have a lot of knowledge about those specifically. The cycling club associated with Velo does a lot of gravel-centric cycling throughout the year.

In addition to the shop, the tap house next door hosts weekly group rides. Since joining the rides I have made so many new friends that, too, share a love of bicycles! Velo fosters a diverse community of cyclists, provides one-on-one assistance with new purchases, and repairs, serves up great beer and pizza, and are a bunch of all-around great folks!! I'm very grateful to have stumbled upon this place!! If you are in the area, or just passing through, I recommend popping in for a pint or a Thursday night group ride!“

“Great Food, beer and service. A fun hangout bar after a long bike ride!“

“I like to come on Wednesdays for Friendsday and this week I hauled ass to get there before 7:00. To my dismay Caleb was nowhere in sight and it sounds like he may have been 85'ed which is unfortunate because he's literally the only reason I rally on a school night. I love Brickhouse. The food, the staff, good drinks and prices but it looks like I'll go back to being responsible adult and only hang out on the weekends.“

“Update 6 years later. 2025. Still great food/atmosphere/and service. Got the same plate. Ribs are so damn good. Sausage great. Brisket is good, but o prefer thicker slices. Shaved brisket you lose a lot the juicy fat I look for it a brisket. This great for a sandwich but on a plate I prefer thicker slices. But still great flavor. Great smoke ring. Glad Joe's is still going great!!
Not sure why they dont advertise as Joe's BBQ. But either my first experience was a good experience. Ribs, brisket. And sausage. Bbq beans. Everything was great I like their sauces the traditional has that perfect balance of sweet and spice. Their spicy sauce hits ya a couple minutes later. Love that. But once again a perfect balance, nothing to overpowering. I'll be back. The restraunt has a great atmosphere good music. I'll be back next time I am in town.“

“amzaing this is a real plat foam�“

“Excellent service!! Of all the Old Chicago’s in and around the KC/Liberty area this one’s the best. Some of the best salads I’ve had. Also the chicken tenders are mouth watering! Don’t miss it“

“This place is electric! Great Dj and great atmosphere! Love this spot in P&L!“

“Went on a trip near here with the wife. We ate here and it was one of the best ribeye steaks we've ever had. We are also a steak snob so that is quite a compliment. Would definitely recommend if your intown or close to there to go eat a ribeye“
