Nice ambiance & pleasant service staff. My Rubin was ok, it wasn't up to par with what I'm accustomed to on the east coast but better than most I've had in the area. read more

We came in with some friends last night to try the place out! What a unique cozy place! We stood up front waiting to be seated for about 5 minutes but nobody came up so we decided to just seat ourselves near the bar area. Once seated we were immediately greeted and served our beverages! Friendly service, place was packed, perfect recommendations! I ordered two pieces of single topping pizza - pizza and sausage and hubs got a calzone with a half order of wings. Pizza was good! Slices were huge. Wings came out piping hot and he liked the flavor. Calzone takes about 20-25 min but a very good portion size and liked it!!! We loved the atmosphere! We will definitely be back! read more

Their food is really good. But then again, it's pretty $hitty of them to charge extra for people to pick-up food rather than dine-in. You'd think since people aren't taking up space in the dining area, they'd be more than thrilled to accommodate the general public, make money, and sell food over the counter. This is greedy and I'm definitely going elsewhere from now on. Just because the rest of the planet is trying to extract every single dime out of its customers, doesn't mean *you* need to also.... read more

(2nd review of 2021) This review is for the Uber Eats (UE) online ordering & pick up. We've come here before about 3 years ago & dined in. This time because of the pandemic wifey & I wanted to be safe & ordered pick up. It took them about 20mins to have the order ready. With ordering thru UE you need to go into the restaurant to the bar side (to the left as you enter the big wooden door). You tell them you ordered thru UE & your name. They'll have it ready sitting on the counter by the kitchen. From what I observed, they did have people social distancing for dine in. They do require anyone entering the restaurant to wear facemasks (there's a sign on the door). Wifey got the Chicken Charles Fajita Salad (UE $12.50). She said that she liked the marinade on the chicken. The salad was pretty big too! She couldn't finish it all & had leftovers for lunch the next day. I had the Hillybilly Smashed burger (UE $10.00). Their burgers come with homemade chips. My chips were a bit koge (aka burnt), so it was jus meh. The burger was a lil disappointing as I was told their smashed burgers were big. If I remember correctly, the last time we dined in, we had one of the burgers & it was kinda big. My yelper friends know, I can eat. I coulda ate about 3 of these. Maybe I'll try the Big Triple Smashed next time. Other than the size of the burger, it was good. The bacon was kinda thick & crunchy. We also got a side of the Trailer Park Tots (UE $4.00) & a side of the Garlic Aioli, Rock & Red, & Chipotle Ranch sauces (UE $0.25 each). Well, I ordered the side Chipotle Ranch, but didn't get it. Wifey had some with her salad so maybe they thought I meant that one? Dunno cause that salad was supposed to have anyways. Whatever, it's only $0.25 so no biggie to me. The Chipotle Ranch was good, yes, I did have some from wifey's salad. The tots were as I remembered from the last time... super crunchy on the outside & moist on the inside. Super ono!! The Garlic Aioli was no joke garlicy, but really good! The Rock & Red sauce was a basic marinara sauce so it was ok. I would get the Garlic Aioli & Chipotle Ranch again. Would I try Grinders again? Heck yeah! I want to try to go thru their menu. Of course I'd get the Trailer Park Tots 100% every time!! Go try em out & lemmie know what you think. A Hui Hou!! read more

My husband and I have been passing by this place every time we go down Pflumm road. We decided to give it a try on a Saturday night. The parking lot looked like it had a good amount of cars, and when my husband got down to look at the menu, the young man advised that he could seat us right away. Apparently, they're known for their pizza. We decided to order some sandwiches. I had the cubano, and my husband had a Philly. It was warm and fresh. They make their own potato chips, and they are nice and crunchy. The service was good. We learned this establishment has been here a long time. I would consider this a sports bar. You have music playing in the background, and we learned they sometimes have live music playing on certain days. We had two sodas and 2 sandwiches, and with a 20% tip, it was almost $40. It wasn't bad at all, but nothing stood out. We do plan on trying their pizza soon since they are so close to home, and that is what they are known for. I have had a cuban sandwich at Qt before that reminded me of this one. Both good just one more price friendly. They have tvs, and I did notice the napkin holder was a bit dusty and could use a cleaning. read more

The pizza and salads are good. The manager, John, was rude and obnoxious. My wife and I were having a nice conversation and he interrupted us twice, very loudly and overbearingly, to interject himself upon us and ask how we were doing. Just leave us alone, dude! If there was anything we needed we could have asked our server. We sat at a high top near the bar. I mean, it was pizza, salad and a glass of wine and a mug of beer. I don't need Interrupting Cow bothering me during dinner. ‍ SMH. read more

Had to stop in for lunch when working at a nearby can plant. Friendly staff. Drink order was taken quickly. Drink refills for a few in our group could have been a little more quick but overall not an issue. The food was excellent. I had the Big Ass Triple smash burger with Swiss. Edges were crunchy and the cheese was gooey. I opted to add a fried egg on top and had the tater tots as my side. The near death sauce was good. Has good heat and flavor. Would come again. read more

Glad to see that this Grinders franchise has not lost the original quirkiness. It is different than the original location in that it's housed in a house. We actually thought it looked like one of those old supper club kind of places (on the outside). Service was good. We ordered make your own slices (as this location doesn't have a slice o' the day). They were good. We ordered Bloody Mary's and they were definitely not the best we've ever had. These weekend cocktails were very horseradishey and watery. Went with beers the next round. Will stop back in because it's more convenient for us on our drives through KC. (But, I am pretty sure we'll stop in the original one, too.) read more

I hadn't been to Stonewall since it became grinders. It was too windy to sit outside. We first sat close to the bar, and it was too loud, so we moved around the corner. Our server was very good, all business, and to the point. Drinks came quickly as well as our food. Everything was delicious. There are several things on the menu that I want to try, so we will be going back. And i really want to try their pizza. read more

Completely different experience tonight. Tried the Wed special Nashville Hot chicken sandwich with tots. Huge hand breaded chicken breast with great flavor and some sort of sauce that cut the heat. Tots were very good and crispy. Excellent service and great outdoor dining. read more

Grinders Stonewall - South Philly Cheesesteak - Pizza Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

I have always loved this place--location and food have always been superb. This is our first time back since the Covid pandemic hit, as this summer the only thing you could do is eat outside and we could never find a space. We walked in and it was unclear as to how we were to get seated so we stood, and stood, and stood --- there was no sign telling us what to do, and although there was a clipboard with obvious names crossed off, there was no direction as to how to proceed. After about 10 minutes of wait (and us making inquiries with wait staff), someone came to help us -- asked us if we had put in our names down on the list. (?) So clear directions of how to get seated would be helpful..... we later saw that there were signs and directions of what to do, but they were hidden away behind the host stand so they should've probably been set up for people to see? I am happy they are seating inside with limited capacity. I will say I am very sorry for the reduced menu, as both of the items that I normally ordered are removed from the menu. However the food we did get was fresh and tasted great. The wait staff was pleasant, and the blueberry bread pudding was to die for! So normally it would be all five stars, but because my food choices were not present I had to knock off one star....and if we didn't know how good the food was, we likely would have walked out during the unknown/unclear wait to be seated. read more

Sandwiches galore! Good value and good service. You will not leave hungry. Fun place for lunch.

I simply haven't been here enough to sing the same praises as some of my fellow Yelpers. I will say if you're a craft beer fan, Grinders has an amazing selection of brews to choose, with an atmosphere that feels a little bit like you're hanging out at a party in a friend's basement. It's been said you have to fight for your right to party, so I was hoping Grinders was up for the challenge. I met a friend for lunch and ordered the reuben sandwich with tots. It was decent, but not anything that made my taste buds bust out into rhymes from the Beastie Boys. The corned beef was tasty, thinly sliced (maybe even shredded), but the cheese wasn't melted all the way and it felt sort of slapped on and cold like an after thought. The marble rye bread was soft and fresh, so I'll give them points for that. The tots scored well and the Thousand Island dressing was on point. Don't get me wrong, it was a decent sandwich, but that's it, just decent. As for our server, Garret, he was friendly, helpful and attentive, so he gets points too. Obviously, the folks who gave Grinders 4 or 5 stars attended a very different party, and I respect that. For me, the party at Grinders needs more fight. And now, I'd like to pass the mic! read more

I ordered through Grubhub. The sandwich was cold, which is weird because it was early. I ordered the cheesesteak, it had no cheese, no onions, nothing but cold meat. Dipping sauces I didn't ask for. When I went to give the feedback, it was closed. Obviously I got a sandwich that they were getting ready to throw away. And I ordered a drink that I was charged for but didn't get. Grubhub refunded that. I will not order from here again. read more

I always struggle trying new items here. I go for the BLT and the Pizzas. No better place in the area to sit outside on a nice evening. Inside is quite loud because the walls reflect all sound and the quarters are tight. Love having this place in our hood. read more

Grinders came highly recommended, so I decided to try this location closer to where I was staying in Kansas. Glad I did because this place has so much atmosphere! It's in an old house and the inside is like a tavern - friendly and interesting decor. We came on a Saturday at lunch during the coronavirus scare so unfortunately the place was empty. Good for us but bad for the business. Lots to choose from on the menu and all 4 in our party selected something different, and all 4 were very satisfied. Person in our party who ordered the chicken parmesian sandwich gave it rave reviews. I had the fried mushrooms as an appetizer and the classic Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both were extremely good, but I've had better fried mushrooms and better sandwiches. The house made chips also good but I would have preferred fries. Not five stars for me, but a definite recommendation. I'll consider returning myself next time I'm in the area. read more

Certainly a really fun bar with great atmosphere, but don't come here for the culinary cuisine. They have a wide variety of craft beers on tap as well as in bottles and cans. The don't have any non alcoholic beers, though. I was there with a large group. Lots of fried foods for appetizers. They're mostly known for their wings and specialty pizza. I did have their pizza which was featured on one of the food networks. It wasn't too bad since it had some true Indian curry flavors coming through. There was also the Goldberg breakfast pizza which contained cream cheese and lox. Again, a bit out of the box, but tasty. We were there on Monday which was Trivia night. Fun atmosphere. Lots of sports and TV's. read more

I was here on Monday night with my family. The food was good! We sat outside on the patio which was nice because of the weather. However, the area around the building is looking really shabby!! A couple bags of weeds/brush laying there, and the building looks like it could use a new coat of paint. I just feel like it's looking run-down!!! read more

I don't know why we haven't been here before! The food was great. I got the BLT with a fried egg, and the it was SO GOOD. The bacon is thick cut and candied, the fried egg was cooked perfectly - gooey but not dripping. Best BLT I've ever had but it was a very heavy lunch. I had to take half of it home (not a bad thing). Two of my friends got the philly, and another friend got a slice of pizza. Everyone left full and happy. My only complaint was that service was a bit slow - our server took a lot of time in between getting our drinks, taking our app order, food, and even more time getting our checks. However, it was a busy Saturday afternoon and we didn't have any where to be so it was so so. read more

GREAT BAR, GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE! We come here alot, and the last time even brought a dog with us.

Let's start with the phony calling of the pizza New York style, sorry as a very long time New Yorker this is best thrown out like a piece of cardboard. Second, Stretch is a fake, fraud and phony ever since he got on TV. The funky looking little bridge troll nickel and dimes on every take out order. Will never order from there again. Would not eat there, not clean. I gave 2 stars only because my salad was fine. read more

The Calzone"s are oddly flavorless - thought I had Covid! The West Clubber was good as were the chips. Our server was on-point and the beer was cold. Loved the outdoor patio and live music. Alas, the TV's were tuned to Trey Gowdy on Fox 'news'. We won't be back. read more

Service was outstanding! My wife and I ate at the restaurant and we also wanted to place a to go order. Our server made a point of stopping at our table when it was time to order our to go order and it was ready right when we finished our dinner. I had the Reuben at it was great. My wife had a pizza slice and really liked it. Pizza slice was big and a great value. Atmosphere is very casual, but we liked the vibe of the restaurant. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area again. read more

Amazing place and highly recommend the Patty Melt! Great service, ambiance ( live band ), and food!

Oh grinders what can I say? Well for starters if I get anything more than a beer and a pretzel I'm very disappointed with the food. I don't think that the menu is very creative or tasty for the price. I think that I'm equally disappointed in the service. I'm a resident of Oak Park one would think that the wait staff would be a little bit more courteous and friendly to people that are dining here. The people that are dining here live in the community. They're not coming from Kansas City to eat at grinders trust me. I really want to try and enjoy this place however every time I come here I'm disappointed. I hope that the management staff can take a real look at the menu, the food, waitstaff in general and their attire. Most of them don't look very hygienic and see through short spandex is the last thing I want to look at while I'm eating. This place needs help! read more

Grinders Stonewall is a pretty cool little place. I'm not sure the history behind the building, but it's super neat in there! We went on a bit of a tough day because there was a KU game on and people were very hyped up. There was some cussing and loud yelling around my two little cousins, but that's not exactly the fault of the restaurant. I ordered the veggie sandwich with peppers and cream cheese and it was good. Half of a sandwich was a good size but a little pricey for a full if you're hungry enough. They had trouble providing a vegan option for my friend but it eventually worked out. Lots and lots of fried food but it's just one of those places! read more

Pest pizza slice I have ever had, pulled pork and ribeye! Would definitely recommend!

It's a very eclectic outdoorsy environment with a wide menu. I'm sure on any day the food is good. I visited on a Tuesday evening after work and was disappointed with the service outside. I ordered a beer and a doughy pretzel.They either need to hire more servers or limit capacity. read more

Service was friendly and informative (David). Food was tasty, we had the Half Cheese Steak and the Reuben with Tots and Chili. The show stealer was the Crab Rangoon - flakey and fresh. Beer selection is impressive with a full bar to boot. Quirky place that is probably a lot of fun with friends and pets when seated outside. We will return. read more
