    IPA and frozen lemonade
    Michelle M.

    This is a very small, very hip little joint with cool art and delicious drinks. The service is always great and we are big fans of their music bingo (& frozen cocktails)!

    Randomly walked in to Fringe beerworks the other day and was very happy we did. The bartender was very friendly. He explained that the art on the walls was done by somebody local. Everything was super creative and fun definitely carnival vibes and I was obsessed. In the back they have pinball machines and other games you can play as well as a small patio. They also offer a board game shelf which I absolutely love board games so I appreciate it very much. We don't live around Lees summit but we will be back to visit.

    Fun house vibe with great brews and pinball! Walked in on a whim and expecting this to be a tiny micro brewery and was pleasantly surprised to find a back room with pinball, board games and a patio! The brew tender was a great guy and had great recommendations. I tried the blueberry lemonade and the cherry limeade beer. Both were delicious! I especially loved the artwork all around. It tied together the fun house theme and was fun to look at. I played the jaws pinball and had a blast. I will be coming back again soon to try some more brews and set some high scores.

    I headed to Fringe Beerworks to hang out with a friend. Turns out, it's pretty awesome! Great beer - I had a stout and IPA, and both met-and maybe exceeded-my standards. The server was also very friendly. The cozy neighborhood bar vibe creates the perfect ambiance to enjoy your pints...and if you're thinking about braving the great outdoors, there is a nice outdoor seating area. We avoided that because of the scorching heat this time of year (July). Street parking is plentiful, and their location in Lee's Summit's downtown adds to the cool factor. They might have their own lot, but I didn't check since it was easy to find a spot on the street. They have both in-person and online menus, which is pretty convenient - you can peruse the beer list before you go, which I especially appreciate. Another cool thing - Fringe Beerworks spices things up with events like Game Night, which they were having the night we were there, although we didn't attend. So yeah, great brews, friendly vibes, easy parking, and a downtown location - loved it!

    A small independent brewery that's been on our radar for a while. Just a note that they do not serve any solid food. Very fun colorful retro themed decor only enhances their cool little space. And if you love the dark stuff, their menu is sure to please. So many different stouts to choose from. I had Madam X, the coffee stout which was on nitro. It always makes it better imo. My companion had a flight of 5 stouts, all of which were smooth and tasty. Never heard of a white stout before and it reminded me of an ipa without the usual ipa pucker; very cool. The rum barrel aged unicorn imperial stout was amazing at 16% abv, but if you mix that with the barrel aged puppy chow imperial stout (which tastes like a cookie biscuit), you end up with a complex long finish drink that retains all the best stuff. The flavors don't clash but rather express themselves one layer at a time. A happy accident that we will definitely ask for next time. Give it a shot!

    Can't say enough great things about this place! The beer is unique and amazing in flavor every time I try a new one. Eddie is the best! Come down try some homemade beer and enjoy the place there are tons of games and loads of fun.

    Loved this place! Loved the circus theme! Great beer, fun atmosphere, & friendly people! The staff & local patrons were all very friendly & welcoming! We played a very entertaining game of bar bingo & had so much fun!

    This place is pretty cool. The design of the brewery is great, think circus mixed with craft beer, can you go wrong? My favorite beer was the Madam X with coffee. All 5 of the beers we tried were flavorful, unique, and diverse. We rarely make it out to Lee's Summit, but I'm glad we chose to make the craft beer rounds today. Keep up the good work!

    Russian Dancing Beer is my go to at Fringe, it's a Stout Russian Imperial with a 10.5 ABV. Every time you step into Fringe you feel like you've home. Communal seating plus 4/5 spots at the bar. My daughter is partial to the Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit beer, an original and local favorite. This is a great place to hook up with friends to start you night off or for an after dinner drink. Make sure to follow them on Instagram, they are one of the more active breweries with activities, tap takeovers and game nights. A must try! They also have wine.

    Nice little gem tucked away. They brew their own beer and have many other beers on tap to enjoy. A few bar snack available and you can bring in or order food to be delivered.

The food is…read moreconsistently delicious, service is always friendly and accommodating, and everything comes out incredibly fast. Most of my orders have been curbside pickup since it's right around the corner from my house, and the process has always been quick and seamless. Let me tell you about the Great Salmon Caper Sandwich. A soft, pillowy brioche bun, flaky grilled salmon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, topped with a creamy, tangy aioli. It is quite literally one of the best salmon sandwiches I've ever had. When I say I'll never get sick of this sandwich, I mean it. It's a genuine 10/10 and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The Cluckers are also excellent and come with an absurd amount of food. My only complaint is that the chicken pieces can sometimes be so large that the chicken-to-breading ratio feels a little off. Other than that, they're fantastic. The breading is seasoned perfectly, the chicken is juicy, and the price is extremely affordable for the portion size. The homemade honey mustard is also some of the best I've ever had and is easily my favorite dipping sauce on the menu. Wally's is one of those places that never disappoints. Fast service, affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently great food make it an easy recommendation.

They had a really good smoked porter that would pair perfectly with some bbq. And they also had a blackberry lemonade seltzer that was refreshing and perfect for this summer heat wave.

It was cold, and most of the restaurant was empty. When my boyfriend asked if we could sit near the bar, where there were plenty of available tables, the host didn't even look at us and simply said, "Help yourself." I'm not sure why we were treated that way. When the food arrived, my boyfriend's burger was completely different from what he ordered. He ordered a BBQ burger with extra crispy bacon, but it came with no sauce and no bacon at all. My burger was very dry, and the fries were overcooked. I do like crispy fries, but these were far beyond that. I assume the food issues were a kitchen mistake. On a positive note, the ambiance was nice, and our server was kind and attentive. She checked on us more than three times. My boyfriend is so kind and he didn't want to send the burger back.

We had to wait 40 minutes between receiving our appetizers and our entrees with nary a waiter in sight to fill our cups. Tack on another 30 minutes before desserts and then yet another 30 to receive our check. Of course, we get hit with an auto-gratuity of 18% for our large party which I don't mind paying because it is standard. However, entirely unprompted, our server reminds us to leave them a tip as they don't receive any of the 18% auto-grat. You're telling me that, at a place that nickel-and-dimed us to pay for 50 cent SAUCES, that you want me to tack on an extra 100 buckaroos of gratuity on-top of the automatic GRATUITY? Are you insane? In the moment, I was clearly taken aback. I did not know what to say, so I simply took a good look at our server, before writing a big bold zero on the tip line and handed it back to him. Gave him a smile as I saw his face drop. There is no way in hell I could be compelled to pile on a tip on-top of the 18%. The server was either lying or the business is run by a bunch of pitiless plunderers. Either way, I wish I asked to see a manager about getting the auto-gratuity removed as well for lack of service.
