“very friendly staff, make you feel at home and plenty of laughs,food is excellent, servers are the best and the most gorgeous girls around, bartenders are also awesome!!!“

“I always have a great time going to McFadden’s! Just celebrated a birthday last weekend and had to stop in. The staff is on point. One of our favorite bartenders is Sara. Not only is she an awesome bartender, but she is a lot of fun to be around. Our whole group loved her, thought she was very efficient and quick for us. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great sports bar with lots of screens and lots of game options like cornhole, bowling, darts, foosball and beer pong. Had a cool evening there. I can't rate the food, I only had a few beers there. Some of the service staff obviously didn't feel like it, but they still got beer :-)“

“Great place to chill! :)“

“Went on a first date here almost 28 years ago….loved the restaurant and atmosphere. Fell in love with the man that took me there and still with him to this day! ❤️“

“I was very apprehensive about trying this place but once I got inside all my worries subsided and I was blown away by the number of drinks they offered and the amount of food they served, the portions are enough for two people to share! The wings are the best I've ever had, the beer is cold and the live music is great. What really makes me happy is the age of the patrons who frequent this establishment, 40-50 years old, not the younger crowd, my wife and I are regulars at the North Oak location“

“very good place to go have fun at“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BAR! Nestled in the River Market District, you can be cozy with great lighting, fantastic music or games on their many TV's! KARAOKE on Tuesdays is awesome! 8-12“

“Got together with friends and had dinner it was wonderful. We will be back. We went to the Northland location off Broadway and Barry Road (NKC or North Kansas City) is a town in the Northland but your location is Kansas City. Your servers were very fun.“

“Great and awesome people great and safe place to come and enjoy yourself and have a fun and enjoyable and great drink!“

“Just had one of those nights where everything came together at Gael’s Public House.
The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming.
The food was next level. You can tell it’s made fresh with real flavor. Every bite hit just right.
The vibe was exactly what I needed. Good music, perfect lighting, and the patio was so relaxing.
Definitely coming back soon.“

“The best burger I’ve had! Absolutely amazing!“

“Best bar in KC hands down!!“

“Food is solid. The atmosphere is great. Ericka is the best server I have had there by far.“

“Visited KC for a few days and Pinches tacos was the absolute best! We went back a few times in our short stay, very friendly, clean environment and the best street tacos I’ve ever had!“

“Great place to just chill!“

“The food was really good. Highly recommend.“

“The staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are delicious!“

“Great meatball sandwich, great service.“

“🚨GUACAMOLE CHANGE! We’ve been coming to Ponaks for 30 years. The guacamole has aways been one of our favorites. Today we ordered it and immediately noticed something was different. We asked the server and he confirmed that they have changed their recipe, and it’s for the worst. They’ve added “filler” by putting pico and other ingredients into it. It’s not even close to what it was. I hope they don’t start changing their food and Margaritas!!! There is a reason people keep coming back year after year! Please dont mess with perfection Ponaks!“

“Great people great food great atmosphere“

“pizza is awesome. was there last night and waited 20 minutes for a server. no luck so I left. it happens so they get pass. all the other times service and food was great.“

“good food and service and nice atmosphere“

“The food was great but I wouldn’t come here on an evening of you want good service. My husband and I did a tasting tour near by and wanted something to eat before we headed back to the Air BnB. Immediately you could tell how the experience was going to be when we didn’t order drinks right away and didn’t see our server again for about 15 minutes. She was very obviously more interested in paying more attention to customers that ordered drinks right away. She didn’t give her name otherwise I would I mention here. We only got one water and she didn’t come back to us again. We went to go to the hostess to try to pay our bill, ended up stopping her as she was leaving the bar. I give 2 stars out of 5. That’s only because the food was really good. I don’t think I would come back here. Maybe during the day would be better but I don’t know if I’d come here again anyway.“

“Lindsay and her famous pickle shots will keep us coming back every time. Best in Kansas City, if not the whole world.“

“This place has been on our list for quite some time to visit, well we finally made it here today. We were the first ones in when they opened the doors at 4pm. Andi was our server, and she was incredible from start to finish. We started with an order of the original wings and ordered a 39th Street pizza. The wings were possibly some of the best I've ever had, the sauce was phenomenal. The pizza was also outstanding (the crust, the sauce and the toppings). We are already looking forward to our next vist and will bring along some friends to join us next time. Everything was OUTSTANDING!!!“

“Game play consistent. Subbed at VBB Cameri. Matched up with known rivals/nemesis and a few new ones. Thanks to you Ryan & Sarah for asking me to sub for 3hrs! Create sparks on purpose and do it often!
Even though 9th game was called due to stormy weather, I am sure it would have been our W!“

“This is a top notch place to go eat and relax. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming, and the food is great. I personally love their pizza.“

“Very Friendly Welcoming Staff! Great Food! Great Drinks. Thank you!“

“A Very nice bartender (Amber) greeted us with a big smile!“

“great place to meet friends and others!“

“Had a great time and the DJ is our favorite! She’s amazing and plays the best music for a fun evening! I would go back definitely!“

“Went for Trivia night and had the best time! Got the chicken fried chicken - seriously the best. Next time I'll ask for extra gravy but the potatoes the beans so delish. The chicken was juicy on the inside and the breading was crunchy.

Trivia host was EXCEPTIONAL, funny, great mix of questions, and better yet, it was old school paper style.“

“Great Atmosphere Food And Service Top Notch“

“What a great dive. THE BEST! You will not be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The night we walked in, this place was dead. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our visit, and the underwhelmed bartender was right there ready to fill our glasses. I like the look and feel of this place, but wonder why it was so dead when the place next door was packed (and too loud for my taste).“

“great service and a ton of beer on Tap....super comfortable!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!“

“Marky Mark IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Aside from him watching over the ladies of the bar but also his ability to make outsiders feel welcome. We left and came back after wandering around because he made such an amazing impression. I am extremely grateful for them having/carrying non alcoholic beers. We will be back & if Marky Mark sees this! COME SEE US IN DES MONIES ?“

“Great food, great drinks, great service. plenty of parking! Awesome place for Live Music and fun times! Love venues that support live music! Thank you Antioch Bar and Grill!“

“This place has a wonderful atmosphere and the crew that works there they're all amazing. They haveShuffle board,darts,and a couple more games to keep ya occupied. The outside patio is beautiful as well as their smoking section. The serving sizes are filling to say the least. The place of this is right in the middle of wonderful Brookside!! Great place to soak up the st Patty's day parade they have every year. Not to mention the food , it's amazing no matter what you get and they serve food until 2 am!!!“

“We ate there for the first time tonight and loved the food!!! The chicken was soo good and the biscuits to die for!! Brussels Sprouts and fries great too! Service was excellent (thank you Larissa!!!) and we came away stuffed and happy! Will def be back again!“

“Wonderful service, salad was great and love watching the Chiefs!!!“

“Love brickhouse! Food is unmatched. Highly recommend the Philly egg rolls, Philly cheese steak (smothered), and chicken nachos. Love that they do happy hour on Friday and Saturday (especially in this economy). Always have the best time and the staff is a vibe.“

“I really enjoy coming to Amerisports with my nephew that has special needs (non-verbal autism.) The servers are always friendly, and they make him feel appreciated. One server in particular, (Sarah) really goes out of her way to make our experience great. Even when she is not our server, she always comes over to say hello, see how we are doing. Sarah, thank you so much. You always make our day.“

“i was introduced to B.S. Saint Patrick's Day 23yrs ago. I'm a big fan.“

“Bar Central is a hidden gem in KC! The atmosphere is chill and welcoming, and Andrew, our bartender, made the whole experience even better. He was super friendly, inviting, and really took the time to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests, and that kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Great drinks, great vibes — we'll definitely be back!“

“Destiny was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did she make our drinks perfectly, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and really made everyone feel welcome at the bar. She even remembered our drink orders throughout the night, which was a nice touch. A true hustling bartender, she was running circles around the others behind the bar. A fantastic personality - we'll definitely be back to see her again!“
