Great food and drinks. We would go back for sure. Spinich artichoke pasta is awesome!!!

After enjoying the location in Zona Rosa numerous times, we tried this location. After an hour of waiting, our food finally came out...incorrectly. (2/3 orders were wrong). The staff seems careless about open tables remaining open for 20+ minutes with a 20-25 minute wait in progress. With the choices of good food in the KC area; we WONT be back here. read more

I went here for my 19th birthday celebration with my mom and I'm so glad I did! There was a bit of a wait, but we got there at the tail end of their dinner rush, so we expected as much. Despite the fact there were about 4 groups ahead of us to be seated, we still got sat in about 10 minutes. We were at a high top in the bar area which was fine with us. It was nice and big, and had a fun atmosphere. As far as food goes, I LOVED my avocado chicken grille. It was a mess to eat, but a delicious mess. My mom wasn't as pleased with her food, she got a different chicken grille and said it was missing some flavor, but wasn't bad and just plans to order something else next time. However, we both ordered Caesar salad beforehand and both thought they were great. And large for a $3 salad! As for our waiter? Awesome! We let him know we were trying to catch a movie after we are and he kept that in mind, giving us quick service that was still friendly and attentive. Despite the fact that my actual birthday was a couple days away from our visit, he still gave me the free birthday dessert since this was my celebration which was really appreciated. And there was no singing. I will definitely be going back and would highly recommend this place for a casual birthday dinner. read more

Traveling and the hotel recommended 54th Street. It was a great recommendation! Good food and great service! Try the Gringo Dip, it is very good! Thank you! read more

At least the last four times I've eaten here, I've had to send my salad back. Once because there was bleu cheese when I ordered feta, once because there were onions when I asked for none, and twice where there has been plastic in my salad. The last straw was a fake apology from a manager who interrupted me several times and clearly just wanted me to leave. Food safety is not a joke. Only go here if you want to be injured by your meal. read more

Hand down my worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. First our server didn't approach our table until we were there for 20 minutes. Not trying to complain because we were celebrating the graduation of my niece. Once the server finally arrived at our table she took orders and it was another 40 minutes before we saw her again. We waited 1.5 hours before we contacted the manager to inquire about our meals. We were told that our order was never put in and that it would be an additional 20-30 minute before the food would be ready. At that time my party of 12 decided to leave the restaurant. The thing that made this experience so bad is that while we complained with management, the employees thought it was a laughing matter. They pointed their fingers and laughed in our face. I hope that this bad service was not because of our race and more just bad service. But when your group in the only group not being served it really make you think. It was a group of college kids and a couple sitting across from us that walked out because of what they saw. The manager apologized for the bad service, but I will never eat there again. read more

54th street grill and bar is good I like the food and other things they have the waitress was very nice I really liked her

Great place to bring the family when they are in town. Fun atmosphere and tasty food. The prices are reasonable so you don't break the bank when you treat a large group. Lots of variety in food and drink with plenty of room to spread out if you're bringing guests. Everybody gets what they want and leaves happy. Staff is upbeat and personable, and has wonderful recommendations for those that have a hard time deciding what to get. read more

I went here with my husband and a friend of ours on a Friday night. It was busy and I had to wait 20 minutes for a table but it was sooo worth it. My waitress was superb and friendly and my order was correct and out to me quickly. My husband and I both got the Terminator ribeye and they were both done perfectly. I had a well done steak and most places the steak is dry or undercooked. My steak was juicy and tender and done. My husband got medium and his was great as well. Our friend had the spicy chicken sandwich and said it was delicious. The salad was also great. Will definitely go back here again. read more

Good food. Decent service but they are always really busy which makes the service a lot slower. Great alcoholic beverages which go well with the food. There is always a wait anytime after 5. This speaks for the quality of the food but is also an inconvenience. read more

Place was pretty dirty for a not so busy night but the host was very friendly when we walked in. Our waitress seemed distracted and I had to ask for several things that should be automatic (kids menu, bread that comes with the meal, straws). My husbands food was really good and so was my son's, although it is hard to mess up chicken strips! My salad was lackluster and the plate was really dirty on the underside. This is our first visit to this location. We will give another chance but I was not at all impressed with the service, ambience or the food. read more

I have been going here for years. Captain Dan's shrimp us great but my favorite is the Rattlesnake Pasta. Great food and a good staff

By far the best 54th street around , always great food and service....Tried the one in lee summit and it didnt even come close to this one..

Tons of tvs for sporting events and the staff was really helpful with changing the channels for customers. Great atmosphere of you want to have a drink while you watch the ball game read more

This is the best 54th St. Avoid Lee's Summit location at all costs. Independence has the best service and food/drinks hands down. 5 Stars!

This place is on my do not list from now on. Understaffed, empty booths. I was so mad. They sat us and the seat of the booth had green beans or something gross all over it. I stood there and no one ever came to ask us if we were ok. Done with this place. Walked out. They need more of this to get there attention and clean up there act. read more

Good service, quick, cheap. Best french dip I've had around here. I recommend at least trying it, go out of the realm of the applebees and chilis read more

My friends, family, and I often go to 54th Street at the Independence and Lee's Summit locations. I've never had bad service, the food is always good, and the atmosphere is nice. We have girls nights at this place often. I get a giggle when it's Homecoming/Courtwarming/Prom season and see girls in their formals coming here yet you can come in sweat pants!! I recommend getting their combo option for the salad and soup if you're a light eater. Their chicken fingers are very good too. The menu has several options sure to please anyone. The deserts are great too. They have a full bar and be warned, their drinks are strong! :) I recommend sitting out on their covered patio at the Lee's Summit location on a summer night! read more

I go hear all the time and I always get the black bean burger. As a vegetarian, its always nice to have a menu that offers me something besides salad. The food tastes great and the to-go service is excellent. read more

We ordered online and when my daughter went to pick up the order, she was given about 1/3 of our items. She went in (since she was parked in the carry-out pick up lane), had the receipt as proof & was told, they would "look for the rest" of the order. Meanwhile, you guessed it, the food they had brought out got cold. February, so really any of the food was destined to get cold, but the original food got ridiculously cold while they finished the complete order. Overall, Quite a disappointment. My daughter ordered a 1/2 order of chicken fried chicken meal and it was laughably small. $9.99 for a piece of chicken that was the size of one small chicken thigh. The sides were good though (after nuking). We also had a reuben sandwich with steak soup. The reuben needed more taste but the soup was great. Do Not Order Carryout from 54th Street in Independence. Bottom line- Don't do it. read more

Im amending the review of his place. Make sure u double check ur ticket. We were charged an extra 15 dollars for our ticket, and then were told that the amount was already on our account and WOULD be on there as a hold. Manager would not accomodate us when it was THEIR mistake, by a server who needs to be bussing tables, due to his swagger and arrogant attitude toward the customers. The manager's remedy was to hand us a measly 12.99 gift certificate, which was less than HALF of our ticket! Now, why would I want to go back and eat there again, if I was treated less than decent on our VERY FIRST TRIP! I'm upset at the manager, because he DID NOT do his job, and try to make it right, by paying for our meal, and admonishing the server. I had to bring it up about paying for our meal, he NEVER offered. Such horrible customer service will more than likely get you closed down. I will never recommend this place to anyone and will never take friends there. Stay away! read more

My husband, sister and I ate here on a Friday night. it was inanely noisy and we waited 15 min for a table (after being told it would be 5). I requested a gluten-free menu from the hostess when we were being seated. She and the other three hostesses didn't know where "it" was (apparently they only have one), so they said so-and-so would bring it to me. Our waitress came and took drink orders a few min later, so we requested the menu again. She brought our drinks and said the manager was printing a menu and would bring it over. We requested it from two other people, and finally, 15-20 min after sitting down, we got a 7-page list of all the menu items with no detail as to what the items were, and a checklist to the right with a "Y" or "N" in each column (dairy, nuts, wheat, gluten, etc.). Just for background info, gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, malt, and contaminated oats. Nearly every single item listed that had a "Y" under "wheat," had an "N" "gluten." That was our second clue that this was going to be the dining experience from hell. Two waitresses came to our table, and when we pointed out the wheat v gluten discrepancy on the menu, one waitress told the other to have the manager come to our table. We had to request his presence twice more before he finally came over, and he obviously has had zero training when it comes to a GF diet. He tried to tell me guar gum has gluten (it doesn't), as does maltodextrin (it doesn't). He said the tortilla chips were rolled in wheat (they are not). He took a photo of the ingredients of the chips on his phone and brought it to me to read. The bag did say the chips were made in a facility that processes wheat, but I took my chances and ordered nachos w/ chicken and cheese (nothing else). I do not have Celiac Disease, but am gluten intolerant. I can normally eat products with that warning. We don't know whether it was the chicken, the chips, or some mystery ingredient I am not aware I ingested, but I was horribly sick later. My husband ordered brisket barbecue sandwich. The brisket was chopped, not shredded (maybe this is a KC thing?). It was very messy, typical chain family restaurant (think Ruby Tuesday) quality, and rather pedestrian. Definitely nothing special. Sauce was very "blah" and tasted mass produced. I will say our waitress was very patient and sweet and tried her best, but the entire staff, particularly the manager, needs a lot of dietary education. We would never go back. read more

Only been able to make it in this location twice in three years, as everytime we decide to go here, it's Dinner Rush time, and we're not patient enough to wait for a table. However, the times that we HAVE got a seat or two have been great, the outside bar is pretty sweet when the weather is cooperating. Try the Monterey Chicken Grille. read more

This place is always busy, usually a 30 minute wait so we typically don't want to wait and go somewhere else. Tonight was only 15 minutes so we gave it a try. We had two different burgers, the catfish, and chicken Caesar salad. All of the food tasted pretty bland. Also had the four play appetizer and chips and salsa. Pace salsa had more flavor than what they were servin for salsa. The gringo dip that came with the four play was average at best. Many better places to eat around this area than here. We won't be back. read more

This was a big bummer! Second time in a row that we've had a bad experience and both times we brought guests with us...so needless to say we will not be back. We ordered two different kinds of burgers with two different kinds of cheese (6 people table so other food was ordered) and the people that brought it out delivered the wrong burger to the wrong person but since they had never eaten there didn't know it was wrong and it had the cheese on it the other one was supposed to have and it was a single not a double...so all these reasons the person didn't know she was getting the wrong burger. About 5 minutes later the other burger comes out and then we realize the mistake and the waitress had no idea what to do...she took it to the back...the manager came out and took the wrong burger and promised to get both corrected. He came out about 5 minutes later with the one that has already come out but no one had eaten, so it was cold. Then about another ten minutes later the other burger came out. It was fresh but not the double patty we ordered and with the wrong cheese. The waitress never refilled our drinks and the manager didn't come over and apologize or check on the order after it was all out. They did remove the burger from one ticket but not the other and the funny jab on the bill after all of this was a charge for ranch. We are very understanding when mistakes happen and don't expect or demand free things. We want to warn others and hope the restaurant learns...taking the burger back, letting it sit and then bringing it back out was so disgusting!!! Plus the other parts of our experience were not ok. My husband brings customers here with a large tab but will no longer be trusting this restaurant at any location. read more

We dropped in for a pregame snack. Our waitress Amber was the bomb.com she was cheerful and helpful in describing several items on the menu, it happened to be happy hour, which meant yummy food cost less. We got the buffalo wings which were meaty and juicy, the spinach artichoke dip w/ pico which was delish, and a summer spring salad which was grilled chicken, spring mix, red onions , Carmelized pecans and zingy balsamic vinaigrette. It's was wonderful, the home crafted strawberry lemonade was divine and the refills kept on coming!Amber was sweet and gracious . Wonderful visit and we will be back for a full on dinner affront! read more

What has happened to 54th Street? Our last few experiences there have not been good! About a month ago my bf and another couple went there for dinner. 3 of the 4 of us ordered steaks med. Our food gets there and our steaks were rare and baked potatoes were cold. So... we sent them back. Now, we usually dont complain but we get our steaks back and they are well done. Wth? So we ask to speak the the manager. He comes to the table....btw he looks all of 21 yrs old. We state our complaints and he says "well, not sure what I can do." Seriously?!! End result...we all got free meal coupons for our next visit. O.K...cool. So...last night we decide...lets try 54th and use our coupons. Now, we have a table of 7. Three order salads..they all come at different times...not all together. Main courses come all at the same time for the most part. My bf ordered steak and shrimp ..no shrimp and once again...baked potato is cold! I ordered chicken fingers with honey mustard...had to ask for that. Our friend ordered ribs with 3 sides..only got 1 so had to ask for that! WTH? We are complainers ....but 54th Street...you need to get your shit together! We won't be returning. Liberty location isnt much better either! I had to choose a star but my actual choice would be none!! read more

The staff was friendly. However, the service was EXTREMELY SLOW. The others in my party waited about 45 minutes for their food; I waited 1 1/2 hours for a salad, which never made it to my table. A waiter finally came to me and said an employee dropped my salad, and eventually gave me a gift certificate (for $11.99) as compensation...a bit insulting seeing that I waited 1 1/2 hours for a salad. Later on, we discovered an employee stole a cell phone from one of the lady's in my party. So, not a good visit. read more

Ate lunch here today food was delicious waitress was wonderful atmosphere was nice thank you guys

I had a cheeseburger and fries and it was excellent, as was the gringo dip. The waitress could have been a little more attentive (which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5), but the food was very good! I will definitely eat here again. read more

Food was very good... but the smokers and there SMOKE was terrible!! We sat in non smoking and still felt like I was going to die. Will not go back and will go to the one in Lees Summit instead where they do not allow smoking! read more

The food here isn't bad at all. I don't go seeking out this restaurant but I don't avoid it. The price was fair, and the reuben is a really good choice. Good service as well! read more

I do not write many reviews, but this needs writing. I have eaten at this 54th for several years as it is close to work. Sad to say that this 54th is a mixed bag. Typically, the food is good. However, I have found hair in my food, it has been undercooked and the service is typically slow. I guess I like to gamble. Just be aware. read more

I was in town for a week with my husband. During that time we ate here 4 times. The food is fantastic, there is something for everyone, the service was fast and friendly and the prices very reasonable. Surrounding Steak Houses charge up to $70 ( yes, you read that correctly) for steaks. 54th Street has varying sizes of sirloin (I prefer NY strip) for $20 or less. My husband, nor I, were disappointed. The steak was flavorful, tender and cooked to perfection. Do you self a favor and give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

Matt is a great server and he's training others right, talk about setting the tone for a good meal. Much to our surprise the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back! read more

My sister and I go here all the time, we love their food and the service! The prime rib, burgers, most of the appetizers, sides, deserts, all good. Their strawberry daiquiri is AMAZING! I highly recommend this location/restaurant to anyone who hasn't already tried it! We've even made friends with one of the servers, he's usually out on the patio, he's such a sweetie! read more

We ended up making our first trip to 54th street grill today and I'm super glad we did. The food was awesome and the menu went on forever with a vast variety of choices for everyone. The sandwich was gigantic and extremely tasty. Super glad we split an entree and it was so awesome that the waitress mentioned we could do that. Each half came out on it's own plate along with sides. What an amazing experience. The mini cheesecake desert was fantastic and the only thing better than the food was the service. GO HERE, they are excellent in every way we will definitely be coming back. Lena was a FANTASTIC waitress! read more

Took the family there last week food was good! We had the gringo dip for starters very tastey and they gave us alot of chips. For dinner my wife had the chicken fettucinie very good and cheesey. I had the grill chicken salad also very tastey and the honey mustard is the best! Drinks were very good and we will be back! read more

I love 54th Street. It is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite anytime places to eat. They have salads to die for and the most variety in their menu. Such a fun place! read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Never had a meal less than amazing. Great alcohol selection and amazing happy hour specials. Went in on Friday and the 2 young girls working as hostess' were anything but friendly. Never smiled asked how we were, when asked how long of a wait for a table,we were told 25-30 min. After an hour and a half 1 girl walk ice past is and headed down the main aisle, the got rude bc we didn't follow her. She never once told us to do so! If you are the first impression for everybody that comes through those doors, be a good one!!!!! read more
