About Peanut on Main

Peanut on Main is a local pub with a limited menu, but what they offer is delicious. Their wings, particularly the buffalo chicken wings, have gained a loyal following, with many claiming they serve the best chicken wings in Kansas City. The atmosphere is fun and chill, with a mix of people from construction workers to millionaires enjoying cold beer and good conversation. The vibe is a classic hometown bar—cozy, unpretentious, and full of character. Many customers say the wings are simply legendary—crispy, juicy, and served with homemade blue cheese that deserves its own fan club. The staff, especially bartender Alex, is known for spot-on suggestions and friendly service, adding to the lively environment. While some have experienced issues with customer service and cleanliness, most reviews highlight the friendly staff and fun atmosphere. The place can get packed, especially during events like a Chiefs game, which many find adds to its charm. Peanut on Main is believed to be the oldest bar in Kansas City, making it a great spot for a night out where visitors can relax, enjoy good eats, and watch football on TVs all around. The wings are highly praised, considered the best in KC and possibly the best anywhere. For those visiting, skipping this spot might lead to wing-related FOMO forever.

I have been eating here for over 7 years and almost everyday during Covid because I was pregnant in 2020 and I have never felt unwanted in this establishment until today! The person who took my order was very short with me but walked around and asked everyone of the other customers did they need anything multiple times sitting by. She only came back when I called her over there to tell her I think she gave me the wrong drink and she said ok well what did u want and I said Pepsi...read full review

Had the cheese fries and they were awesome! Cheese sauce was flavorful (not the same old cheese sauce that others use). The fries stayed crunchy even with the sauce over them.
Also had a bacon/cheeseburger that was very flavorful. And of course the giant hot wings. Their homemade blue cheese dipping sauce was very good, not overpowering.
Great service even though it got crowded.
I Highly recommend!
