“I want there for dinner during restaurant week and was blown away by the food. I had a pear salad, grilled mahi and some type of Bailey's cheesecake type dessert. Every course was very flavorful and i couldn't help telling my husband throughout our meal how delicious it was. I also had a pomegranate martini, which was also incredible. It went beyond my expectations!!“

“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.“

“Best whiskey bar in Overland Park, hands down“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“Awesome service from Maddie!!“

“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 :)“

“Mahi-mahi tacos are amazing!!“

“I tell you what. Go to Barley’s. The bartender, Nicole, is fabulous!!! Love her. Beer selection is great. My wife and I sit at the bar. Great time. Also. They do the Christmas Twinkle theme. WOW! No matter what, see Nicole. Tell her Rusty sent ya. ;). I don’t really eat much here. When I do it’s good!“

“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!“

“Love this place! After a hard day of shopping at Price Chopper I thought I would stop by for a drink. I am glad I did ! The atmosphere was festive with numerous TV blasting all types of sports. Tiffany the bartender was awesome! Drinks were awesome and on time
She recommended the double decker tacos which were amazing!! Definitely a great place and I will definitely be back !“

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

“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!! :)“

“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!“

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

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

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

“The hostess stepped on my husband, we had to ask waitress for water twice, she didn’t ask if I wanted greens or potatoes with my Benedict (menu is confusing) worst coffee in town, honey was old, overpriced, Benedict had really pungent onion ruined everything. We will not be back.“

“Food and service was great“

“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.“

“We sat at the bar (unfortunately a very large, awkwardly placed beer tap was directly in front of us). A bartender named Hayden took our orders. He was very pleasant and attentive. We were talking to a couple next to us and after we finished eating and the seat on the other side of the couple opened, I moved over there. I finished my drink and wanted another but the other bartender, Lucas who was now supposed to be taking care of us never looked our way. I finally had to get Hayden’s attention and asked him to tell Lucas I wanted a drink. But, Lucas was too busy talking to a guest on the other side of the bar. I finally got Lucas’ attention and got a drink. This kind of non attention to all guests is not acceptable in my opinion. Finally, the drink glasses are very small for the price. I’m not likely to return.

Update. We did go back and had a much better experience with Lucas. Turns out he’s a really great guy. I’m sorry I doubted you.“

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

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

“Fun good food high ynctictivtj guvru by“

“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!“

“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.“
