Just went in for lunch and we are from out of town. Our food took over and hour, my lunch fish taco had old brown lettuce on it and looked like it had sit in the window for a while. We watched the server, manager, and kitchen manager stand in the kitchen and do nothing. The server never asked how our food was even after we had told her we had been waiting for over an hour. Took over 15 minutes to get change and finally found a manager to talk to and he didn’t apologize and he looked like he might have been on something. We go to KC a lot and this would be somewhere that we would never return to or recommend anyone to go to. There was hardly anyone in the building. Working in the service industry there are certain things you let go. But this was just awful

The food was really good and the service was even better. Huge thanks to Molly who was our server! She made it one of the best experiences we've had when it comes to going out to eat. Couldn't have asked for anyone better.

My sandwich would have been good, but it wasn't warm. My French fries were excellent.

Overall good experience, I got the 3 courses for 25.99. I started with the Char-Crusted Tuna. This was cooked perfectly rare with a wonderful wasabi mayo that added just enough heat when paired with the sweet Thai chili. Although I feel the garnish was too big for the dish. For the entree I had the Seared scallops which had an understandable $4 upcharge. These were also perfectly cooked with a good risotto, although the asparagus part of it was lacking but the arugula and dressing attached to it well made up for it. The Basil-infused olive oil played no part in the flavor but the balsamic reduction added a welcoming acidic flavor to the scallops. Overall a well orchestrated and presented dish. For dessert I had the vanilla bean cheesecake which had a great cheesecake flavor but was over the top with carmel topping and another cheesecake dollap that lacked any vanilla flavor, especially vanilla bean. I also felt the graham cracker crust was somewhat soggy, but overall a good dessert. My wife had the Top sirloin steak with grilled asparagus and garlic green beans. Both vegetables were cooked perfectly al dente with a slight grilled flavor on the asparagus and great flavor on the green beans. So many restaurants easily mess up both these vegetables, but Houlihans cooked them perfectly. The steak was good, but tough although top sirloin is not a premium cut of meat so much grace is given. The service overall was good, after our server came. It took 7-10 minutes to see a server after being seated. We contemplated walking out over this and later in the evening we saw a table do just that. Overall great experience and would recommend.
The waiter was extremely happy to be working but the appetizer spinach artichoke dip was cold and my soup was cold. It was freezing in the restaurant. Probably won't go back..

We came to Houlihan's to celebrate my birthday. I chose here because of the delicious food and atmosphere. I ordered a Pineapple martini, very disappointed in the pour, a good 1/4” from the top. The chicken for the lettuce wraps looked like mush, not the regular chunks of chicken before. Not once acknowledged my birthday which I included in the reservation. Service was friendly and attentive but it did take her a bit to first come to our table. Just overall not a good experience.

Quality has dropped over the years. I would not order a steak here anymore. In fact it went from one of the best to a.pretty terrible steak each and every time. Not cooked right, cheap cuts and flavorless. Oh the giant Tetris thing... Super annoying to listen to.
I think Houlihan's does a consistently great job. I actually feel like they have some of the best steak in town... No really! The service and staff are great and we always have a good meal and time.

I only visit when I am shopping and usually during happy hour. The bartenders are fun and attentive. There is typically a fun crowd and many appear to be regulars. The food is good beyond that which is offered during happy hour. I enjoy going even when alone.
