Took family friends out for a nice dinner. It was just okay. My food was good with the brisket and slaw with sweet potatoe fries. Others in our group had hamburgers that were dry over cooked. Sweet potato fries had no seasoning on them. Not sure why it was under seasoned food. Our other meal that was under cooked brisket. Loaded totes where delicious. Then waitresses forgot the extra sauce and one of our members meal completely. I hope they look into helping there cook with understanding how things should come out of the kitchen. Good quality food should be cheaper with fresh ingredients and proper prep.

Not having the Chiefs playoff game on tv at a sports bar? Pretty sad. Pizza is soggy as hell but the JD burger last night was great.

Pros: edible and moderately priced food. my burger was flavorless even though it was covered in barbecue sauce. Cons: food is bland boring and unimaginative. My husband got the hot chicken sandwich. He was thinking it was gonna be Nashville hot chicken. But it turned out to be chicken breast dowsed in hot sauce. The service was not rude, but it was not friendly either. Nobody working in this restaurant was smiling. Why would they charge for drinks when you could walk out to the casino and get drinks for free?

Slow to get drinks. The taco salad was slop, the wings tasted of microwaved trash, covered in sauce & seasoning AFTER the fact & the whole experience was subpar. Drinks were ruined! Whiskey Sour was ALL sour, a Manhattan with no cherry and served in the wrong glass. Oh, and the ONLY dish they serve of quality (Prime rib)...they were "Out of". Enjoy

Tin Lizard Bar is inside a Casino. It's a quiet place to have a meal away from the casino floor. Good food.

This one is pretty cut and dry. Decent food, nice staff. There ya go! While there isn't too much to say about Tin Lizard other than it's kind of a Hard Rock Cafe knockoff with guitars on the walls and a "rock 'n' roll" theme'd menu, there also isn't too much to complain about. The staff always seems a bit understaffed and the constant flow of casino regulars cashing in their free food steals a ton of attention away from the patrons paying at the bar. The food ain't half bad, but it aint half good either. It does seem to come out differently at different times of the day as the pizza was pretty good at night but during the day it left something to be desired. The taco salad was something you'd be happy to whip up at home but a little cheated when paying for it, but my buddy did say the potato soup was quite good... heartburn impending. Unless you're going to the steakhouse or the small cafe, this is your only real option for food. Take what you can get, I suppose!

Had the fish and chips- cod and tater tots. The cod was very good- tartar sauce was nice as well. The waitress was busy but kept me checked on. The atmosphere was not too loud or busy. I'd go back for sure.

I'd say a little over half of the time you don't get what you order. Tonight I ordered a "Kansas Hot Chicken" Sandwich, which is advertised as being on a brioche bun, having cayenne hot sauce, and pickled slaw. The first time it came out the only thing accurate is that it contained chicken. I politely sent it back asking "isn't it supposed to have stuff on it". The polite bar tender took it and it came back with cabbage slapped on top of it. I sent it back again and ordered the sliders which I'm currently waiting on.This place changes the menu too often. You get what you order about half of the time. The wait times can often exceed over 30 minutes just to be acknowledged by the staff (not the bartenders fault, they have been under staffed for a while). Lastly the quality seems to be degrading every passing year.*Update: The sliders weren't too bad.*Update 2: Apparently the chicken is cooked in the "sauce" according to the manager who had to fix the ticket. I figured they'd say that so before I sent it back, I broke off a piece of it and it did not taste like it had any flavor other than overused, old grease

Stopped in off the interstate looking for lunch and found a great experience instead! Both had the thick, creamy, potato soup with andoullei sausage and a perfect chewy in the middle, crispy on the outside brioche for dipping then split a Jack Daniels burboun burger which was topped with brisket in the tastiest sauce on a butter toasted bun. Even the fries were perfectly cooked with a special coating. Service was attentive and very pleasant. This is worth going out of your way to get to but you don't have to because it's right on the interstate. We were so pleased to have made this choice! Absolutely delicious!!!

Do not let this restaurant sway your possible stay at the hotel. The hotel and staff are great. This place? Not so much. I ordered the loaded "brisket" nachos and garlic parmesan chicken wings. Hop on and buckle up. Let's go for a ride. Being from Texas and traveling through Kansas, anytime I see brisket on some nachos I do a little dance and get excited. That excitement lasted .0021 seconds as soon as I opened the lid and saw what they call brisket. I won't refer to this as brisket anymore, because I don't want to disrespect actual brisket. This will now be referred to as meat. The meat that was laying on top of the nachos was paper thin. It's like they shredded it from roast beef and called it the unspoken word. I did man up and try it just so I can get the full picture and I immediately regretted it. Over all the only good thing on these nachos where probably the chips and I am sure those came from a bag. The queso was terrible. The guac was terrible. It made me want to cry that people in Kansas have this is as an example of mexican food and or BBQ. I feel for y'all. I do. At this point I was honestly already so hurt by the nachos, that I already had a bad taste (no pun intended) going into the chicken wings. So I tried to be as non-biased as I could, but these things are hard to explain. The actual chicken wing was cooked decent. A little to crispy for my liking, but not the worst I've ever had. But that sauce they use is just weird. It left a after taste that I can't explain. And honestly if someone is speechless from your food it means 1 of 2 things. 1 being hot damn, this is so wonderful I can't talk. 2 being hot damn, this is terrible and I want to leave. I will let you decide which one I was experiencing. I don't travel through Kansas very much, but if I do stay at the hotel again, I will eat before.
We stopped here and attempted to eat. Online it states that this restaurant is "good for kids" but this place is located inside of a Casino that you must be 21 to enter. So this needs to be updated. We weren't allowed to go inside to eat or order a Togo. Security guard was very rude when I showed him that it states online that it's good for kids.

We were so hungry and the food looked very appetizing that Chris and I just do e in. Lol We've been coming to this casino but never had the chance to dine at Tin Lizard so on our Saturdate, Chris asked if I wanted to eat here and play s bit. So, of course I have to Yelp it for menu. I was surprised to see the 1 lb Prime Rib! Chris ordered just that and was very impressed! He ordered medium rare and it was perfect! I ordered the Grilled Salmon and was equally satisfied! You guys, this one is a must try! If you go before 5 pm, the atmosphere is more relaxed and less crazy.

Terrible table service…probably some of the worst I’ve had. Ribeye was terrible. We hoped the burger would be better than what you get at the Deli- same exact quality-not great. We will never eat at Tin Lizard again. We really miss the buffet. We had better service and better quality food. The food options at Kansas Star are awful now.

we add at this place 5/12. my wife became VERY SICK at 3am 5/13. after taking her to the hospital and getting her fluids. I contacted or attempted to contact the restaurant. All three numbers no answer, HR at Kansas star casino didn't answer. They single-handedly ruined my amazing wife's Mother's Day. They don't care!
