50 Best American Restaurants in Overland Park

“The staff is AWESOME. Good food and drinks.“

“In town for just a night and went to J. Alexander's for dinner. So glad I did! Best steak I have ever had, cooked perfectly. Sides were delicious as well and all the servers and chefs were awesome. Molly was the best server. Thank you for such an amazing feast.“

“The food was amazing! Best steak I have ever had. Yummy sourdough bread with meal. I couldn’t even finish all of the salad. Service was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“Phenomenal use of herbs and spices to enhance quality meats, fishes, and vegan dishes. Have eaten here twice with zero complaints. The lamb is out of this world! Burnt ends, Filet, Shrimp, Smash Burger, and Scallops were a big hit.“

“Food was amazing! 1000/10! Definitely worth the 7hr drive“

“The food was fresh and flavorful. What had the most flavor was the personality and presentation by our food server Brooklyn. Brooklyn knew the menu inside and out. She made our dining experience the most enjoyable evening in a very long time. With a server like Brooklyn, It is no wonder Nick & Jake enjoys the reputation it has.“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“One of the true PBJ legends that never disappoints. We are not only fond of out menu choices but we are spoiled by incredible service the moment we enter the front doors. Ask for Larry & start off with the Gnocci. That’s the only advice I would give you. I love this place“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“The food was amazing. The cinnamon rolls and French toast were delicious! They had a great variety of breakfast and lunch items. Not to mention the homemade breads. I would highly recommend The Wooden Spoon if you’re looking for some good food!“

“The ribeye is PERFECT, the atmosphere is wonderful and I had the honor of meeting the owner and thanking him personally for his hospitality, he’s a very very nice person and very welcoming! I don’t get up that way much (I’m from Wichita, KS) but when I’m back, you can bet Veritas is on the list of stops, I guarantee it 💯 Veritas is a 10 out of 5 stars“

“Hidden gem, all the waitresses are awesome and the menu is huge! Never had a bad meal and I’ve gone here for years!!“

“I have traveled to Overland Park for work from time to time, and the Doubletree hotel is by far the best hotel in the area and that is because of the Trofi restaurant onsite. The aesthetic is classy, clean, and visually appealing, and the food is great. However, it’s truly the staff that makes Trofi an establishment that keeps customers coming back. Phil is absolutely FANTASTIC! He engages with customers in a way that makes his customer service exceptional - he remembers little details about us months later which creates true connections. Not to mention, he has a great personality. By the same token, Walter is awesome! His humor and personality brings such a fun vibe to the restaurant. The two of them together, talk about a dream team! I will never stay elsewhere in the area because of this place feeling like home away from home and making work travel such a pleasant experience.“

“Love the steak/filet special they offer on Fridays with all the trimmings. I enjoy the French Dip sandwich. The meat is always tender, but the hogie bun has little taste. Having a pretzel bun or something different would be much tastier for that sandwich.“

“Brass Onion is an awesome restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff is great. I have been there several times and never had a bad experience. There is an exceptional young lady who my guest and I have had the pleasure to serve us named Tianna she is Fabulous and provides phenomenal service. Tianna deserves a BONUS she is one of the reasons I keep going back to the Brass Onion. Plus the good food along with the hospitality of Rob the manager too.“

“Love your youth golf program. My kids have played every summer!“

“The food was good tasting and our orders were correct. We had a party of 9. Our server did not bring us fries or ask if we wanted fries right away. We're accustomed to them bringing fries out pretty quick after being seated. The fries were not hot when they were brought to us. Our server was okay, not super responsive. We had to ask multiple times for things sometimes. I ordered a mojito and it tasted like it did not have ny alcohol in it. The restrooms had a couple of the 3 stalls with no toilet paper.“

“The young cashiers were very polite! Refreshing!“

“Best whiskey bar in Overland Park, hands down“

“Everything on the menu is top notch! Such great people behind the counter, and the service was exceptional.
They walked a cheesecake out all the way on the other side for me on my bday. These guys know what’s up! Great food, and we love Strang Hall.“

“Our breakfast was perfect from our first bite until we couldn’t take another bite! We requested the onions be cooked throughly in our protein bowl, they were perfect. We will be back next time we’re in the KC area. Thank you 😊“

“I have been eating here for years and food and service is usually very good. I am never sure of their new hours since Covid. However, I was told by the front-line lady that because it was 15 minutes before closing I had to place my order to go. There were people there, still eating. Were they going to be asked to leave at closing? In the past I was never denied dine-in service.“

“I've loved Winsteads since I was little! Best grilled cheese around, great tater tots, always great basic salad, great shakes. They have burgers but I always get the grilled cheese. They also have a drive thru. There are only 2 locations next sadly. This one looks run down now but it's still totally worth it. Great prices, too.“

“Andrew and his team in the Market Grill are amazing! We came in on Saturday to feed our football team in between games and they did not disappoint! Food was fresh and tasted great. They let us spread out in the top seating area so our kids and families could sit and eat comfortably while we warmed up from the freezing rain and cold. Highly recommend them and will plan on stopping again the next time we play football nearby!“

“Have always liked this location and sit in the bar area. When Peter is the bartender he is always attentive and friendly, asking about out pet greyhound and vacations. The Happy Hour menu is well worth the price for food and drink.“

“I was 2 doors down from you at the dentist and saw your sign....asked the crew at the dentist and they highly recommended going there!! So after my appointment, I did!! And it was all delicious!! Tried a salad with a couple of sides and the price was reasonable too! I will definitely be back!! :)“

“Got in from a late flight and headed over here with my girlfriend to grab a bite. We popped in right before the kitchen closed and our bartender Nicole made sure that they kept it open for us to get our food in. Excellent and attentive service from Nicole throughout our visit, she was great. We got the BLT, the keto steak bowl, and the spicy chicken bites appetizer. BLT was 4 stars, the bowl and chicken bites easily 5 stars - I’d go back just for those. They have a huge beer selection as well. All in all a top notch spot when you’re craving bar food and a cold drink.“

“Great Entertainment, Amazing Management Team, Awesome Concept!!!“

“Great customer service and the food was delicious 😋 We will be back soon“

“Good food at a reasonable price. I would rate them a step or tow above Applebee's and Chili's. Our server Ronald was great. Used their online wait list to avoid waiting when we arrived. We were seated in the bar area. Food came out quick and hot. Only complaint was that there were several tables in the area that had dirty plates on them and were not cleaned the entire time we were at the restaurant.“

“Absolutely loved the food here and our waitress was amazing. Its a beautiful building inside and put and the food was well worth the money. The cheesecake 😍❤️❤️. We went on a family date here tonight and we will def return. We did reserve a time online a few hours before our scheduled time, I highly suggest doing that before going to ensure youre able to get in. There's usually a pretty good sized line for walk ins, and hardly any parking spots as it's incredibly busy likely because of how good this place is :)“

“We love the deviled eggs, sliders and Colorado Chicken salad. Service is always good. Plus the patio is dog friendly and they always bring water for our dog. I do wish the patio was shaded better but at least it’s on the north side of the building instead of south or west like so many other restaurants.“

“We always love coming here. Friendly staff during brunch and always happy to joke with the kids. Santiago is one of our favorites!“

“This place was incredible! I was in town for work and came across this bar and had a great time. Food was great, live music was fantastic and Ben the gm was so helpful and had great recommendations on everything. The service was 10/10. This will be my go to spot when I come back in town.“

“Games bhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh“

“Had a great breakfast this morning. I highly recommend Flapjacks 'n more.....This was the new Shawnee, Ks location“

“Alison and I enjoyed breakfast this past Sunday at McGregor's Butcher & Bistro. While we were enjoying our breakfast sandwiches, Tom, aka Tommy the Butcher, told us we needed to try their restaurant, which is located right next to the Butcher & Deli. He mentioned that every Tuesday night, they have Burger specials. For $18, you get a burger of your choice, fries, and draft beer or, as in my case, a soda. It just so happened that we were out last night and decided to stop in. I have to say it was one of the best dining experiences we've had this year. Our server, Sarah, was excellent, helped us with tons of advice, and truly made us feel special. Alison enjoyed the Mushroom Cheeseburger, and I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. They were both phenomenal. The meat all comes from their own butcher shop. The burgers tasted great, and the bacon was crisp and to die for. The fries were also fantastic, especially the truffle fries. We also enjoyed an appetizer of Gralic Steak Bites, and they gave us some warm, locally made Farm To Market bread with some house-made butter that was awesome. Lastly, I want to add that the entire experience was relaxed, and you can taste the care and love they put into the dishes. With the check, they also gave us each a complimentary shortbread butter cookie that was out of this world. Alison and I would like to thank Tom and Sarah, and everyone else we interacted with at McGregor's. We look forward to visiting them again in the near future. It's truly a special small business that we wish we had discovered sooner. Sidenote: The Deli and Butcher side is open Tuesday-Sunday, 8:30 am to 3:00pm. I also look forward to trying a deli sandwich in the future. Tommy told me I have to try the Pastrami on my next visit.“

“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.“

“Baja shrimp tacos are amazing and I crave them!!!“

“Great staff, and really good food! They are all very attentive and the food is always fresh!!!“

“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!“

“Great service, friendly staff and I loved my sandwich. They have the best bread!“

“Very accommodating and very friendly staff“

“First time there, absolutely fantastic! Gorgeous looking plates of delicious food.“

“We had the most incredible time at Topgolf Overland Park! The service was phenomenal! Shout out to Lexi (Manager) and her wonderful team for making our experience so special! We brought 3 people who had never been to Topgolf before and let me tell you, it was a night we will never forget! One of the people in our party was celebrating his birthday! They made him feel so special by doing a birthday shout out and gave us free dessert! I am blown away by the friendliness and consideration we were shown. Thank you again to the Topgolf team! I am so sad I do not remember our servers name, but she was a gem! I think it was Nivara! Ahhh, I hope I am close. She deserves a lot of credit! ♥️ We can’t wait to come back again!“

“Great people, food and atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely dinner this evening. It was well worth the price too.“

“Food and service was great“

“Great service and food was delicious.“

“Get in line online is a great feature. The wait was only a minute or two. We came for breakfast and the restaurant was nearly full. However, the staff were friendly and attentive. Our food was served quickly. Everything was delicious and looked very appealing. We enjoyed the food and the presentation. The atmosphere was great, quiet and relaxed with a sense of calm and happy guests.“
