FEE-NOM-MENAL BURGER. Simply phenomenal! More like phenomnomnom-menal…read more.. Hank's Garage is serving up one of the better burgers in JoCo with very relaxed atmosphere to boot. The menu is not large, but clearly what they do, they are doing very, very well. Burgers, dogs, wraps, & salads are there for the choosing along with a great lineup of local beer. They even have their own label (Hank's Lager) if you are up to sample house goodies! But speaking of house goodies, it's the burgers. The 'variations' are slim (like 2 or 3), but the El Reno (shoutout to Oklahoma) comes with those fabulous grilled onions as a supporting cast. The OG Hank's burger is not to be missed, what with the sharp American cheese & special sauce on a brioche bun. Both of those are simply hunger killers, because they taste as good as they look and they're fairly huge in portion size. The house special sauce has a little horseradish wayyyyyy in the flavor background, only noticeable if you're looking for it, and the sauce is outstanding when paired with the burg. Pro tip: get the sauce on the side and get your dunk on. Burgers come with a side and run $15, which is a price point well below the value. Ice cold beer flows on tap (buy local!) or in cans & bottles, and they even do a few wines & house-created cocktails. The airy, open layout makes it a three-season spot and the 'yard' is inviting for anyone who enjoys their eats & dranks au naturel. Wonderful service (Autumn is THE nicest) and plenty of seating - get yourself there.

Wait staff was friendly and welcoming. General Manager was engaging and very personable in making us feel welcome. I must say we always receive outstanding service here and highly recommend this for anyone wanting to relax and enjoy a dinner at your neighborhood tavern.

This one was a take-out order. And this is some of the really hard-to-review stuff…read more Let's face it. Box sizes and to-go orders don't really have a good presentation or fit with the amount of food you normally get while dining in at the restaurant. But Burg and Barrel has it down. Everything travels very well. And they are good at ensuring they have the right boxes for the right items. Venting in place to keep the fries (or tots) from steaming up and getting soggy. Boxes that are big enough for the full sandwich and a full order of fries. Snagged a beer while I waited and didn't even make it all the way through before the bartender showed up with our to-go order. Then speaking of Ambiance... we got to sit in my awesome living room and wolf down burgers and a steak salad while watching the movie of choice for the night. (Now You See Me - for those that were wondering)

I've never had a bad meal here so I assumed the salads were great, but tonight's dinner proved…read moreotherwise. I ordered a Cobb that came with no blue cheese, which our server recognized immediately. She brought out a side of cheese which was very nice. It came in HUGE chunks which was wonky but I broke them up and it was okay. In my first bite I tasted rotten egg. When I mentioned it to my friend she said she could smell rotten egg. I hardly ever complain about food or send something back, but this egg was clearly past its prime. Our server (she was awesome btw) took care of the situation and got me a new salad in no time. This time, the lettuce was wet. Really really wet. I love that they wash the lettuce for salads at Bar West but wet lettuce is just unappealing. We will be back but definitely will avoid the salad from now on. Sadly I left hungry. Again, awesome server though!

I've been eating a variety of vegan cheeses for years now and not a single one compares to their homemade cheese sauce. It's always so fresh and quickly served. I miss their Lenexa location but I do not mind have to drive 30 minutes out of my way to come here. If you want just a simple classic insanely delicious burger- eat here! I also love that the bar TVs are playing stuff outside of sports!

I wanted to try out the original location of Cosmo Burger after visiting the one in Lenexa…read more This is a big hyped place around town for having the best burger in Kansas City. It's not. It's very good, but there are a couple that are better. I ordered a double cheeseburger as they prepare it. I didn't love the pickles. They were weird. Not your typical dill pickle, which I prefer. The guys working behind the counter, insisted that I use the QR code to order instead of talking to them. There was no way for me to add mustard on the website, which is what I would've preferred. I was able to do that at Cosmo Burger in Lenexa City Center when I was able to speak to a human. This location still had excellent tater tots, even though the burger was greasy and not how I preferred it to be topped. The bar that Cosmo Burger sits in is excellent! The bartender was attentive and kind. If you want a soft drink to go with your burger, you buy it at the bar and it is $3.90. I gave him a five dollar bill and left another dollar on the table when I left. I also tipped the guys at Cosmo Burger. So, it was $26 for a cheeseburger tots and a Coke. Yikes!

On the quest to find the best burger in Kansas City, I tested Grandstand, and it honestly did quite…read morewell. Grandstand is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s even thought it only opened in 1984. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and it performs admirably. It's thick, juicy, and full of flavor. But that is just the burger. I'd recommend avoiding their fries as I've tried a couple versions and both tasted bland and potentially frozen as if they aren't made in house. Each time of had their fries, I've thrown them away. However, the burger is done very well. First time visitors that get triggered by religious or political signage should be well aware that there will be signs in this restaurant. Regardless, Grandstand makes a quality burger that I quite likely will be having again. You can see more of our experience on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PQLoDu8-DYs

Tay's makes one of the best burgers in KC. They promote the quality of ingredients they use, and I…read morethink it shows in the food they bring to the table. The things I like most about Tay's include: the fries, sriracha ketchup, a fun car for kids meals, and of course the burger with all of the available toppings to choose from. I ordered a single with fries. My wife and I decided that we'll probably share next time. We might even get the slider with fries. My son loved the car his burger was served in. The ladies working were so friendly and worked quickly through the long line to get orders placed. We didn't have any issues finding a table to sit. They have plenty of high chairs and booster seats for kids too.

So the food... that's why we really came here. So many people hyped Tay's Burger Shack up that I think it made me set my expectations really high. I tried the Single Cheeseburger with fries, I will say that I didn't find it very special. My least favorite part was the buns, they didn't seem like they were toasted at all. Just your typical old cheeseburger. The fries were not my favorite. It does make a cute date night and maybe late night snack.

Overall - fun and quirky environment with lots of yummy food options…read more Menu: EXTENSIVE menu with lots of options to choose from... to the point that it can get a lil overwhelming. Thankfully most items have a reference picture so it was easier to gauge what you're getting, which I appreciated. I'd recommend getting the Honky Tonky (with bbq sauce on the side) bc it was a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Other burgers were good too (not all were shown n some I forgot the names), so high chance they'll turn out good. Appetizers id recommend (not shown) is the Spare Parts Appetizer that lets you sample a lot. Several were good like the jalapeños n cheese curds. As for the price and portion though, I don't think it was that worth it.... The burgers aren't that big compared to other places and the fries portion was kinda small too. So for the price of $20 after tax, just not worth it. Yummy but I could always get burgers somewhere else too. Atmosphere: if you're into cars, bikes, all the edgy garage and western decor, you'll like this place. It was fun to look around and see how this place was decorated. It can be a lot though. In terms of space wise, lots of rooms and tables around. We had a party of 11 and were thankfully able to make it work on a busy day. Service: our server was chill and patient with us. Felt like our burgers came out at a reasonable timeframe. Summary: was good and even though yummy, probably more of a 1 visit every few months bc the portion to price ratio isnt it imo :( especially if I can get burgers and fries in bigger (n refillable) elsewhere. Would highly recommend trying though!!

Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!
