The food at Austin's has always been very good. The farmhouse burger is my go to, but the western is equally as good(if you like an egg on burgers add one to this). Tonight i went with the cheesesteak, and it was delicious. I really don't have complaints about Austin's, it's usually packed when I've gone so service is a little slow but that's to be expected. The service staff is always very nice and the atmosphere makes it a welcoming spot to pull up a chair and watch the game or just enjoy a night out. read more

Been here several times and it is always solid. Got takeout tonight after an day volleyball tournament. 2 burgers and fries, chicken fingers and fries and a New York strip. All were excellent. Good job Austin's. read more

Okay first the restaurant noise is so loud and I get it it's a sports bar, but I could barely hear our waitress over the noise. The baked potato I ordered seemed to be uncooked it was so hard it was inedible. Chicken fried steak was ok and the corn is not recommended. The waitress was super nice though and that's the only reason I'm giving three stars instead of two. read more

Why am I begging for service? Do I even have a server? It was pretty clear at Austins that the waitstaff didn't give a hoot about the customers or getting good tips. Mixed drinks = weak. Service = train wreck. If you like watching sports, there are a gadzillion TV's boasting every sport you could imagine. Also, there is an arcade room for all those alcoholic gamers out there. When in the KC area, if you want to go someplace with good drinks and table service, don't bother going to Austins. read more

Horrible. We were on our way home to KC. Stopped by to have a late dinner. Food was absolutely unacceptable. Burger fell apart and was completely unable to maintain it's "patty." The grilled chicken bun was so soggy it was disgusting. To top things off, there was such a crowd of "kids" screaming, at the top of their lungs, every vulgarity you could think of. I finally asked them to move, and, quite a crowd of them started "ganging up" on me. We finally left, realizing we were in some redneck town, and, this is how they run their business. The waitress said she called her manager. But, there were still two or three guys hanging around egging on a fight. Really? I left high school decades ago. Won't be back. If you're into more "family friendly," I'd avoid this place. At least on a Friday night. Edit: our waitress was pleasant. But, there seemed to be no one controlling this obnoxiously loud atmosphere. read more

Great place to eat. Food is always delicious, they have daily specials. Staff is friendly, and service is top notch

Worst svc EVER!!! After we placed our drink order(2 drinks) we waited 10 min's. There were 10 other people in the bar and our waitress had one other table and it was 10:30 on a Friday nite. My husband had to go to the bar to get our drinks. They were ready and the bartender volunteered to remake them. The waitress never even apologized for it, she just pretended it didn't happen. Then when we got our ticket back after she ran the card she billed us $57.00 instead of the $36.00 she was supposed to. I called the manager over and showed her, I also told her about the drinks. She said "that's what the bartender told me." She took the bill and fixed it back to the $36.00. She didn't apologize for any of the issues either. Just told us it would take a couple days for the $57.00 to come back. So not only did no one apologize!!! We also had to pay full price!!!!!! No tip!!!!! read more

There are not that many choices in the area... I think all of the locals just are used to this mediocre meal. Service from Abby was spot-on. She was friendly and attentive. No problems here. She single-handledly gets the 2 stars on this review. The food was... Sysco quality at its worst. My burger was something that they served me in elementary school. The french fries were worse - and it is hard to screw up french fries! If the big fast food chains were wanting to do a "fry-off" competition, and they wanted to throw in a ringer for just how bad a french fry could be, THIS would be it. Not even ketchup could help these cold, wet, limp slices of potato stuff surrounded by the absolute nastiest artificial fried crust. There is a BK down the street I think I'll try when I am in the area next time. But for a beer and a friendly smile, I may stop by and ask for Abby. read more

average run of the mill bar food. Truly more like a sports bar. Also, don't go there if you want to talk, the TV or music is so loud you can barely talk to each other. Food is very average, nothing to get excited over. read more

Not impressed. The first time I went there I got a burger and I asked for ketchup and the waitress told me I had to get it at the condiments stand. If I wanted to get up and get my own ketchup I would have gone to McDonald's, I want my food to come to my table ready to eat.. not have to get up to put what I want on my burger. I've been there twice and haven't been impressed by anything either time. Won't be going back. read more

We had a late dinner at Austin's in Gardner tonight. We were seated promptly in a booth (per our request). Our waitress was Chloe and she took our drink orders while we decided what we wanted to eat. We decided on some wings and a couple of beers while we figured out our entrée. The wings were surprisingly good! When Chloe checked up on us and asked us how the wings were, we told her how much we liked them and she mentioned that the wings were on special on Wednesdays, so we will definitely come back for the wing special on Wednesday! We ordered the Black Bean Burger (hers) and the Bratwurst on a hoagie with jalapenos and sauerkraut (his). They came out pretty quickly. The bean burger was really good - much better than the highly publicized vegetarian burger at a well-known fast food restaurant lol. The brat hoagie was perfect. As a big fan of hoagies, bratwurst, sauerkraut and jalapenos I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was the best I've had in many, many years. The bun was fresh. The brat was well done. The sauerkraut and jalapenos were cooked down a bit so they were moist but not wet (which is important because if you don't do that, everything is soggy and yucky). We finished our meal and wanted another beer because we were really enjoying our evening. We weren't sure what we wanted to drink next but we knew we wanted to try something else. Chloe offered to get us a couple of samples from the bar since we couldn't decide. The wife got a Dale's and he (me) got a MC Hardway. We don't go out to eat often, but we may change that. Austin's is a great place to go for a late Saturday night dinner and a couple of beers. The atmosphere is really peaceful and fun - lots of good energy and great food and great beers. read more

Service is slow. New management from what I hear. What I do know is prices went up considerably! Everything is ala cart so a burger is one price, sides another, etc. only gluten free options are a baked potato and a side salad which will cost you about $11. Not impressed at all. read more

Horrible - Can't get simple order correct. Medium well hamburger red inside (along with table beside us) Go elsewhere I guess you have to physically get up for condiments. Again, nothing was said about this to us... read more

Pretty neat bar good happy hour prices and offers. Cool experience! They have TV 's everywhere nice place customer service is great. I sat at the bar to have a a beer to kill time but I ended up being there for 3 beers and 3 testers of beers my bartender named Brandie with an "I" okay I forget if there an e in her name or not but she was great that's what customer service is all about! I ended up tipping her $Customer service there is amazing people just should get on technology to use yelp to help this business out. Their staff A++++ I'll deff come back because of the service read more

Ordered take out I went to the car pick up , the lady told me to me it was 14.23 but they charged me 39.00! They fixed it for me! the next night I called to order food they were very rude on the phone! went to pick it up set in the car pick up line for ten minutes! I went inside waited another 5 minutes before I was even knowledge! The food was amazing but the service was terrible! read more

Service was very slow! My husband and I went on a weekday and it wasn't crowded at all! Like the one in Olathe better. Will not go back to this one. read more

We've been there a few times, food is good. The steaks are seasoned right and the fries are good. I have had problems twice with the steak not being cooked right. The first time I ordered medium and it came out well done. They did comp the meal, and offered to give me another one. It happened another time but it wasn't too over cooked, so I just ate it. The chicken sandwich is good also. The service is sometimes not so great, its hit or miss. Another complaint is you have to get your own condiments at the "condiment bar", not something you I agree with when you are expected to tip. Overall quality food and drinks at decent prices. I will go back. read more

Stopped in around 6 on a Wednesday. First time I had ever been there. Sat at the bar. Jessica waited on me. She was excellent! She introduced herself (why doesn't every bar staff do this?) and generally treated me like a regular. I ordered a club sandwich and sweet potato fries. Jessica suggested some dipping sauce for the fries. The food came out quickly and was very good. Well done, Austin's! read more

This is our favorite place for date night! Friday night is $4 margaritas and the staff is always friendly. If something is wrong, they will fix it immediately. Love this place and highly recommend! The buffalo chicken wrap and chicken bites with garlic aioli are our favorites! read more

Great place, don't let bad reviews deter you. It's a sports bar with good food and great staff. Ownership is A+. Instead of giving a bad review send an email or talk to management. That's the way businesses grow. read more

Blah....I know there is not much to choose from in Gardner KS but Olathe is not too far at all. I went here because someone else in my party chose this location. Wait staff is horrible, not friendly and slow. They are definitely not servers they are order takers. Food quality is poor and priced high for what you get. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Since they have upgraded their menu the prices are up and service is down. The food is mediocre. It's always been mediocre. The service usually makes up for that. The servers seem to be confused about where they are. My visit today was to have beer and watch the Royals and something lite to eat. The Royals were stinking it up and so was the server. I am guessing to when you order a burger it doesnt automatically come with sides. You can easily be confused because because sides mean cottage cheese fries etc. It you want toppings you have to go to the toppings bar and get them yourself. Gimme the pickles and tomatoes and KETCHUP. So if you visit, remember toppings you get yourself and sides are fries. If you ask your server he/she might not have the mental capacity to explain it. One good theng is the kitchen somehow is spot on. Perfectly cooked burger. The kitchen 90% of the time is on it. If you just wanna drink sit at the bar. Service is better and the drinks are cold. Food choice still sucks but I guess you can't have everything. Also, this place has been at least 6 years. They should know how to do things. read more

Nice atmosphere. I ordered the "world famous" chicken tenders. I'm not sure how they are world famous, but they are alright. The fries are pretty good. The food is over priced. Our waitress messed up our drink orders, but the food orders were OK. I'm not sure I'd go back. The food was OK, but overpriced for what you get. read more

Sneaky! Wen I ordered nachos (not at happy hr) n they charge me 4$ for the meat n 4$ for queso so in total a reg order of nachos 16 gotdam dollas! So if you think you're payn half price nachos for happy hr you're really payn full price. N they changed the recipe n it's not good. I'll never go back! But the new management are very polite n great customer service but just bad food. I was wondering why austins was empty on a Friday night. Now I see. Good food speaks for itself n austins food is silent. read more

The best place to pickup wine after hours , the food is also delicious and the atmosphere was great and service was friendly. Will be coming back frequently. read more

Not bad. The waitresses are great, haven't had a bad one yet, but the food is just like Applebees. Except the potato soup... I could eat that all the time. But it's not too bad and a fun place to go; I always play it safe with the soup or the mushroom burger. Spinach artichoke dip has wayyy too much spinach in it. read more

My wife and I along with another couple met here Friday night for what we thought would be a nice meal and couple of drinks. Service was the worst I believe I have ever experienced. Ordered drinks, appetizers, and a meal and had to literally ask about everything. We spent over 2 hours in there most of the time waiting on our food or drinks. Burger was under cooked for the way it was ordered. Fries, which we only got one of two ordered, were cold and rubbery. The replacement orders of fries arrived after the rest of our meal was eaten. Not a good experience. Manager and staff was more concerned with large party in the other room than our little table of four. Never going back! read more

I've never had a bad meal here. The menu is fairly basic. Burgers and a few other sandwiches, grilled chicken, steak, and a couple of fish options. We just recently had the pork tenderloin which was very good, and the grilled mahi which was surprisingly good. I was a little worried about the mahi for obvious reasons. When it was brought out I detected a hint of fishy odor, but luckily there was no fishiness to the taste. It seemed fresh and delicious. read more

Fried pickles were a delight! Service was excellent! Burgers, French dip the 9's! Fries were delicious! Chocolate martini to end the game was all its cracked out to be! Patio was a good change. Pleasently surprised! Will be going back! read more

I used to frequent Austins in Olathe in early 2000s. They had great burgers and good prices. Over the years and after expanding to Gardener,the food quality has fallen off. And prices have skyrocketed. Burger of Burgers used to be my fav in town. Now it's an average burger and comes in over $10. Their lunch specials are dine in only. So if you work and want to pick something up, you can't take advantage of the only way their food is a value. Wait staff is ok. Depends who you get, but it's not consistently bad or good. Steak sandwich is good, but the cooks can't seem to cook the meat to the wellness you ask for to save their lives. I usually ask for medium, and it comes well done. read more

Enjoyed the food and the service. We had just had a long flight and they took great care of us.

Tried the steak sandwich and chicken tortilla soup here recently at lunch. The sandwich was good and the tortilla soup was great as a spicy chicken soup - the 'tortilla' part, I dunno about that one. My 3yo little one enjoyed her tiny pizza, my fries, and the fun conversation with our server, Denise. Will try other things on the menu next time to see what else is good. read more

Very good burgers, baked beans are terrific, haven't tried alot of other things. Service is usually good and very friendly. A little noisy, but it's a sports bar so I would expect it to be. We eat there fairly often, and plan to eat there a lot in the future. read more

12 of my family members went there around 12:30 on a Friday afternoon. Big group but they were polite and got us a table within 5 minutes. Service was super fast! My husband and I shared fried pickles and they were probably the best I've ever had! Would recommend! read more

Had take out and my burger was on the smallest buns. I was charged 3$ xtra for a substitute side salad I got instead of fries. And they gave me ranch for my ceased side salad. The hamburger was pink in the middle when I asked for well. read more

Great service, food and atmosphere but the craft beer selection is ridiculous. They NEVER change taps and as a craft beer drinker you want at least seasonal beers on tap. As a resident of Gardner us craft beer drinkers are forced to go to Olathe and beyond to find the lastest beers. read more

My family and I have been going to Austins in Olathe for years and have always loved the burgers and atmosphere. Recently moved to Gardner and went to this location....Nothing but the same. Love Austins, Cant beat 1/2 price burgers on mondays,delicious!!! -stan read more

I would have given a 5 star but the cost is a little pricey. Amazing burgers and fries are the best!!! This place has the best ranch dressing. Only thing I would recommend is not having bar for condiments because a lot get wasted and servers bring them to you as needed so maybe food prices go down. Would eat here much more if the burger and fries were not 10 dollars alone. But every food item ordered was amazing!! read more

Great service, food, and beverages tonight. Salmon, vegetables, service, and cocktails were all spot on. Well be back!

Used to come here all the time. Good service, fair prices and good food. Now, the service is questionable at best, the prices are outrageous and the food is mediocre. Gardner needs a good competitor to humble these people!!! I will not be back! read more
