50 Best American Restaurants in Overland Park

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The young cashiers were very polite! Refreshing!“

“Best whiskey bar in Overland Park, hands down“

“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 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“SERV has it all! Indoor or outdoor dining, TV’s everywhere, huge screen outside. Outdoor area for dinning, playing games, food/drinks/fun! Indoor/outdoor pickleball. And our server was fast & friendly! Will definitely be back!“

“This cheddars was out of this world. The cheddars where I live is basically uneatable. This one was near the hotel so we stopped to eat.

And my word.

The food was Incredible!

Great staff and amazing food. Stop here if needed“

“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 :)“

“Fun and festive atmosphere and friendly greeting by the nicest hostesses that were in training. Our waitress was Carissa and she was friendly, sweet and very attentive! The cheese dip and chicken tenders were great as were the cocktails! We will be back!“

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

“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!“

“We hosted my son’s 8th Birthday here and opted to include a private party room and the outdoor patio was an added bonus. Our party host Dana was very attentive and the kids all had a blast! The food buffet was ready and hot, our server got all the kids drinks right and was quick to refill and get us anything else we needed. Keagan also stepped in and helped when my son’s game bracelet wouldn’t scan. I would highly recommend this establishment for your party needs. Well worth the cost and not having to clean up after!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!! :)“

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

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

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

“Food and service was great“

“Firebirds is our go to, as it rarely disappoints. They allow us to bring in wine and the food is always solid. A little disappointing was our waiter who started out nice but then rarely came by and then got a little edgy and cold when we ask someone else to grab him and asked for our bill. Young guy names Donovan. Maybe just having a bad night.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Five star service and food was on the money!“

“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!“

“In from Russell, KS & had the most amazing omelet & potatoes!!! … topped it off with a mimosa!!! … great way to start a day!!!“

“Great service and food was delicious.“

“My wife and I attended Chicken N Pickle. The experience started off bad as we did I get our meal. Then Manager Kendra got involved and her customer service was amazing. I recommend Overland Park CNP. Good job Kendra! Not many like you anymore.“

“Very accommodating and very friendly staff“
