“First time trying them, I am a big fan of JACK and thought I would give something else a try. The meat portion size was small compared to other BBQ restaurants and the burnt ends were chewy and had too much fat in them. The Street corn/beef brisket was divine. I will give them another try with the burnt ends.“
“I absolutely loved this place! The food was great, the staff was very kind and attentive. The pricing was right too! You get a lot for your money and it’s *delicious*. I’ll be coming back the next time I’m in Kansas City!We also had a vegetarian in the group who tried the jackfruit and was a fan!Vegetarian options: The jackfruit was great!“
“My first time in, and I found it to be charming. A bright and tidy place in a more historic part of town. The baristas were sweet and fun. If you get a drip coffee and choose to enjoy on premises, you pick out your own mug and get a free refill. It was a perfect Sunday morning stop.“
“Tim was the best waiter. He was accommodating to our very large group and so much fun. He dealt with all of our loud chaos well. The drinks and food were good too and came out quickly. I got clam chowder and a lobster roll, which was great! Crab cakes were good too! We will definitely be coming back.“
“I love German food soo...The food was good, the espresso was ok, the architecture was beautiful and the atmosphere was a nice mix of working family and friends. I felt a bit rushed it was our anniversary dinner so I was a little disappointed, but this may have just been the norm for the area, the servers were nice, but custom service could be worked on. Overall a nice restaurant.“
“? What a great venue! The sound was great, and the crowd was really chill. Seeing such an incredible 2-time Grammy Award winning 80's band like Living Colour that close was fantastic! They were amazing!!! Bringing my teenage daughter = PRICELESS. ❤️??????“
“It's been a while since I was this impressed with a place! The cocktail are well balanced and delicious. we tried several, and you can tell whoever curated the cocktail list really loves their work. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the server was knowledgeable. Low key signs of queer involvement in the establishment and poc support make me very happy. Me and my partner felt extremely welcome and will definitely be back!*edit* they somehow impressed us even more by coming up with a weird concoction. I was inspired by another item on the menu. They took the idea ran with it and made a key lime lie cocktail and it was spot on and the smile while they where creating it made me feel like they genuinely love their craft and have fun with it I'm beyond impressed“
“This is the best theater in the Metro area. I always check to see if the film I want to watch is playing here first. There might be bigger screens or more movie selections elsewhere, but nothing beats this place in terms of a great movie atmosphere.“
“In the words of my husband “great drinks, great service, great food.” But actually, this is probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Kansas City. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The service is incredible and they really do go above and beyond. My husband and I both had different specials but the food was “

“J. Gilbert’s is a GREAT option for a nice night out for dining. Nice atmosphere, fantastic service, solid food and a nice drink selection, this place will deliver on what you’re looking for. Particularly with so much in the downtown KC area, I’m thankful for such a good establishment in the Overland Park area.“
“Since I am from out of town, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I went in with high hopes, and I was not disappointed. This is a great hole in the wall bar! Bartenders are amazing, friendly,and fun to chat with! There are a few games, and the drinks are really reasonably priced. There is a cash only policy for payment, and only street parking is available. I definitely recommend stopping at Fat Maxx's Vortex for a spell.“
“We absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere. The Reuben sandwich is the best Reuben we've ever had. The patty melt was extremely delicious as well. I loved the potato hash as a side it was unique and flavorful. The service was great. Our waiter was friendly, informative, and very attentive. We are definitely making this a regular stop.“
“I stumbled across this place on Facebook and had no idea what it was. They were hosting a nickelodeon themed party with trivia, coloring, and themed drinks!I was nervous at first because we were sharing tables but I got to meet some of the coolest people there and had a blast!! They even hyped me up for winning 4th place in the coloring contest haha.If you love board games, meeting new people, and looking for adult fun without all the craziness of downtown this is a great place to go! I think they host dungeons and dragons here as well and I would love to learn how to start.The food is tasty, but it could be better. But it's not a restaurant, it's a gamers paradise!“
“This "hole in the wall" bar was unlike the other "hole in the wall" bars you will typically go to. The staff was incredibly nice, the food was actually great and of course the prices were lower then your typical bar and grill. This might not be the place to go to for watching football, they are more of a karaoke bar but even the local usuals were friendly and it all made the experience nice. I would go back to try more food and have a cheap drink or two.“
“This my favorite spot in Kansas City. Every bartender is incredible and creative. My favorite bartender from here, Bronson, sells his milk punch at liquor stores all over KC. Their brunch is unbeatable. Their hamburgers are magic. Their steak and frites on Tuesday have extended my life.Incredible date spot.“
“I've been going here for 20+ years (their old location in midtown) and it never disappoints. Chili pepper wontons always a must order item. Ants on a tree and the braised pork and shiitake noodle soup are two of my favorites. China moon is also a great appetizer to start off the meal the plum sauce on the side is so good.“
“My Husband and I stumbled across Taqueria La Nueva by chance. What a happy accident! This is not your typical table service restaurant but instead you place your order at the window and collect your food at the opposite end of the counter once your order number is called. Once your food is in hand they have a condiments bar complete with a variety of hot sauce, onions, limes, cilantro etc.. to accentuate your meal. The bar is located within the main dining room but is separate from the counter where food is ordered. This restaurant is self seating with plenty of tables. However they were busy which is a great sign! The young lady that took our order was extremely pleasant and helpful in helping to navigating the menu options.We tried both the Quesabirria Tacos as well as the Menudo. The Birria tacos were fantastic as was the Consommé that they were served with. This was my first time giving Menudo a try and I was pleasantly surprised! We already can’t wait to return to try more menu items. If authentic Jalisco is your thing then this is a must try!!“
“I had the duck and a sake flight. It was delicious and the flight was super interesting. My husband had the salmon. The menu is more set up for sharing, but the 2 dishes we had were full servings. It's also farm table seating. Meaning long tables they sit multiple parties at.Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was stunning.Highly recommend reservations.We got the brownie dessert, this wasn't my favorite and really expensive for $15. The video is of the creme Brule (not the brownie)“
“Absolutely love this place. Whether by yourself or in a group, UpDown is a blast with just about every classic game you can think of. We played some NBA Jam, Rampage, House of the Dead, Ninja Turtles, Time Crisis II…and that’s a small fraction of what’s available. On top of that, they seem to always have a classic movie and classic pro wrestling on the TVs which makes me love it that much more (not to mention a rooftop patio and lower level patio). If you don’t mind the crowd, there’s not really a more fun place to be.“
“A nostalgic environment. The menu is limited, but the food is excellent. Note that the menu slightly changes from week to week, or month to month or seasonly. So check their website. The artwork at the 21c was beautiful. And the TV was showing silent movies from the past. An excellent restaurant for dinner. We'll definitely be back.“
“Came here at 4:30 and it was already getting busy. Was seated right away. Cute sports bar/restaurant. Like most sports bars it can get loud. We were greeted right away by the friendly wait staff. I ordered an impossible burger. It had white cheddar, shaved lettuce, wild mushrooms, pickles, and Sriracha aïoli. I don't often see it served at restaurants so I'll usually order it when I see it. You had a choice to get fries or sweet potato waffle fries. I chose the sweet potato waffle fries. A little extra charge to get those. Also had some beignets. Super good comes with 2 dipping sauces. Chocolate and vanilla. Yum. I'll probably be back to try other things on the menu that I was eyeing.“
“Tried this place for the first time on a Friday at 7:30 and we were seated immediately with no reservation. The space was small, but very cool and good vibes. Drinks were good and the servers/bartenders know what they are talking about. I'll have to try food next time I'm there“
“If you need a place to impress someone, have a date night, or just a cozy comforting meal, Antler Room is THE place. Every dish is a slice of heaven, and the homemade pasta is to die for. The staff and atmosphere are always warm and inviting. GO... any chance you get!“
“Amazing place! The wings were an absolute hit! Definitely a fun spin on tradition wings. We had the honey chipotle flavor and it was so good! We couldn’t get enough! Our burgers were awesome! They’re big, juicy, flavorful! Everything you want in a burger! Service was great! Cece was so pleasant and kind! Absolute sweet heart. Definitely should add this place to your list!“
“We had the best Saturday fun-day here. Logan and Candice were friendly, fun, engaging, and hilarious. The crowd was chill and friendly. Any bar with jcheese balls is a win, and the overall design and vibe of the bar is top notch. I am sad we don’t live closer, but we can’t wait to go back. Thanks for an awesome day!“
“Went last night, a Friday, for the first time after happening across it looking for cocktails nearby. I live in Mission and had no idea this was here. I hesitate to be too glowing because I want to go every night and will need a seat! ? The drinks were *chef's kiss* and staff superb - we had our own girls night and it was the best ever! My one and only request would be they have some small nibbles available. I'm sort of a lightweight with alcohol and nuts or the like would help me have that second cocktail. “
“Bamboo Penny's is a great restaurant that I would consider Asian Fusion. Fun and hip atmosphere. Heat factor is tailored to your tastes in any dish. Look for special events happening on their second floor - always a great time and special value.Parking: Street parking is limited, but there are 2 parking garages within (approximately) a 1/2 block.“
“My husband and I held our wedding reception at Chingu, and they did SUCH an incredible job with the private event / restaurant buyout. The team went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life, from the menu to the decor to the dance floor. It's the best restaurant in town for a date night, and I am so happy they are extending that experience to private events too. No matter what the occasion is, if you're looking for excellent food and a great vibe, you have to check out Chingu!“
“Great space for playing pool, drinks, & great waitresses. Had a great after birthday turn up thanks to Brenda & April!!! This is definitely the dive bar type vibe (If you’re into that) you want to go have a good time and drink at.“
“This was an incredibly eventful evening! Every single employee was top notch on hospitality, fanfreakintastic food ?, gaming/VR amazingness, and last but definitely not least.......our co-workers getting time outside of work to actually connect. This place helped create a bonding experience for us all that will last a lifetime?? Thank you so much “
“Ludo's Shuffleboard bar is such a great addition to Martini Corner. After a friend date night at Noka, we went here to check it out for the first time. I love the fun, colorful branding that continues to the menu itself. The cocktails are as creative as they are delicious. They offer great wines and beers too - something for everyone. I've also been to Ludo's for a work happy hour where they rented out the whole bar. It's such a great size for happy hour "takeovers" and the staff was super friendly, helpful, flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend a night out at Ludo's or even renting it out for your next event!“
“I had a great time at Blade & Timber in Leawood. It was my first time trying axe throwing and I was pleasantly surprised by how fun and easy it was. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they taught me the basics and gave me some tips to improve my throws. The place was very clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was lively and upbeat. They also had a full bar and a nice selection of snacks to enjoy while throwing axes. The only downside was that it seemed a little overpriced for the experience. I paid $35, which felt a bit steep for something that didn't require much equipment or skill. I think it would be more reasonable to charge $15 or $20 per hour, or offer some discounts or deals for groups or repeat customers. Overall, I had a fun at Blade & Timber and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and exciting activity.“
“First time eating here last night . My wife and I met another couple for dinner. Small, pleasantly decorated diner/deli style restaurant. The waitress was pleasant, although the kitchen was a bit slow in getting our food out despite it not being too busy. I had the Central Branch Reuben and my wife had the Roast Beef sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals and there were plenty of meat on each one. Neither came with a side, despite costing $12 each. (The online menu says Russian dressing is on the Central Branch Reuben, but their menu I store says Thousand Island, and the sandwich did have Thousand Island on it). We shared a side of German Potato Salad for $2 and it was not bad. We would like to come back and try their pizza. Not a great value when compared with other places , but probably pretty good prices for being downtown.“
“A friend and I sat at the bar and had an absolutely fantastic night! The cocktails were delicious -- I definitely recommend the Lumberjack. The bartender, Anthony, was so friendly and pleasant. Bathrooms were also super clean. A great place to hang out on a Saturday night!“
“Unusually, very good bar food, excellent live music (Honeywagen and Ryan Blackwell) and a very chill atmosphere. The service is good except for one tall dark exceedingly rude bartender. Drinks are just okay, worst margarita I’ve ever had last weekend. The cider options are terrible and no cider on tap… unusual choice for an Irish bar. If the drinks were better and they got rid of grumpy pants I’d come here much more often.“
“Your one stop shop. Wow. Let me tell you. This place slaps. Shelly is a damn queen! Robin as well! - say no more. It opens at 6am and you’re a god damn gem of a prism. I’ll be here until midnight tonight if you want to paaaarty. Bless the child ?“
“Kyle serves the best curated selection of beers and whiskey, with plenty of wine and canned cocktail options. Love the laid back vibe. There’s plenty of board games available. We’ve reserved the long tables in the back to celebrate many occasions and I’m so thankful Oak & Steel is in the neighborhood! The pretzels are a fan favorite as well ?Parking: They will validate garage parkingWheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible with ramps.“
“Overall a great place; this has become mine and my wife's local spot.Twice monthly pool tournaments; an assortment of areas to play checks, chess, or dice; local beers; and fantastic cocktails.One of the best old fashioned I've had in a while (if you're a fan of Rye, if not, make sure to mention it).Have spent several long nights here shooting pool and enjoying good company.Parking: Street parking directly next to the bar, but its a gamble if there will be any available. You may have to drive further down and take a short walk.“
“Ajay was our waited and he was PHENOMENAL! I cannot speak more highly than he was spectacular I am in such awe! Went with his recommendations specifically and it was TOP KNOTCH! Steak was insanely flavored and perfect and dessert was superb! We will return with him only as our waiter!“
“Every single time I go here, the experience is fantastic. They have great staff, no matter who is working. The food is wonderful. I especially recommend the cheddar burger! The prices are phenomenal compared to other waldo bars. The drinks are also also quite good.“
“Like the location. Pleasant and calming inside. Has a bar but it’s a nice atmosphere, not raucous or bar like. Decorating is unique and fun. Plenty to look at. Good food, cheese dips great. Recommend the chicken tacos and street corn!! Service was friendly and fast! A great place to get a drink and a bite!“
“The food, service, and ambiance were amazing. It is a great place to enjoy some college sports or major games. The wings are the best in the Metropolitan area. They come out fresh and ready to go. Come enjoy a great experience at The Peanut in Overland Park, Kansas“
“The best place in the city to play pinball. A nice, relatively quiet, smaller, dimly lit neighborhood bar where everyone is nice and respectful. ALL of their pinball machines are cared for and in perfect working order. They have an ATM and a coin machine and all the games were $1 per play or $2 for 3 plays. Pinball people are good people“
“JERRY'S HAS GOOD SONGS *****A good snog paints a pictureFor both your heart and brain.It doesn't need a second chanceTo make its meaning plain.A good song like the flowerThe lily or the rose.God plants it in a poet's brainAnd there its beauty grows.A good tune like a cardinalIs pregnant with song.You can’t help but hear its messageAs it sings what's right or wrong.A good song helps us rememberWhat the joys of life are for.It makes us want to love someoneTill death comes knocking the door.By Tom ZartMost Published Poet On The Web!!“

“This place is so fun. Great options for drinks, fun atmosphere, cozy. I usually go on weekdays because it is very small and gets tight. But it's full of cool patrons and a radical staff!Warning ..you might make friends here.Parking: Parking lot is small but not impossible..I used to find spots back home with my T16.“
“You can even smoke in here! They have a badass pool tournament you can join if you dare. My husband and I were straight stuck on their arcade type bowling game!! The bartender was full of hilarious jokes, and so were the patrons. I really loved this place and plan to return!“
“Best small(er) venue in Kansas city in years - in content and atmosphere. It's only improving upon itself as well. I love the location as well - utilizing a part of this city that is underserved. Definitely one of the gems of kansas city at the moment.Vegetarian options: there is no food that i am aware of... maybe snacks / dessert / coffeeDietary restrictions: Coffee and booze - I didn't see any food - maybe some food trucks will catch on and park by it.Parking: street parking is easily found as there isn't much going on besides Farewell and Howdy in the neighborhood.Kid-friendliness: You can bring under 21 people as long as they have a parent or "guardian" with them who is of age. The sister venue / art space a few doors down "Howdy" is all-ages all the time. They have water available to all.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs of any sort and easily accessible for handicapped individuals.“
“I have eaten here several time in the last few weeks. Really good food. Everything I have tried has been great. The Thursday burger special is unbeatable! Friendly staff that remembers your name and what you like. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“
“Been here several times, never tried the food . However the beer is good and cold , bartenders are spot on. It's a biker bar in the dot( so if have to explain it, you wouldn't understand) . Very cool place from what it was . And yesterday they had a benefit for a friend who was in a car wreck back in January. Very good turnout and everyone had a good time. With bikers there are no strangers only friends we haven't met yet.“
“How have I not been to @thehousewestwood it is just the cutest place. Yes now it dressed up for the holidays, but the space in general is great. Inside is small but comfortable and cozy. Then outside is perfect tables, fire pit, games (for warmer weather) AND the drinks are great.New Friday and Saturday place!“
