We usually go during happy hour for the good deals and superb service, it doesn't get any better behind the bar than Ronnie, Wil and Ira. The assistant manager always greets us with a hug. She is fantastic. read more

I've always enjoyed Houlihans, each time I visit the food and service is always consistent. Love the Happy hour options.

Houlihan's is the perfect place for happy hour. They have great food and drink specials. I love the chicken lettuce wraps. For an entree, I always get the ahi tuna salad...so refreshing! read more

I've never had bad food here. Always good looking women and they have a great outdoor patio in the summer. Get the lettuce wraps by far the best thing on the menu. read more

Houlihans has a great happy hour...try the peach iced tea (alcoholic). Their food is great, I've yet to have a bad thing there. The atmosphere also good. They are pretty accomodating for large groups. read more

Haven't been here in about a year so we decided to gave dinner last nite. I was unpleasantly suprised at how extremely small the appetizer and salads were that we ordered. I had two blueberry martinis that were sweet but didn't seem to have much alcohol at all. Are they cutting back? Seemed very different than in the past. read more

Great Food, Great atmosphere and friendly service! Have to mention that if you love Dirty Martinis, you must visit Ira - best bartender ever! read more

Thank you for a delicious free birthday meal. I tried the acorn squash lasagna & it was awesome!! We had the artichoke, goat cheese poppers that were also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I love Houlihan's. I dont think I have ever had anything that wasn't great. They have a really good happy hour(and a late night happy hour). Most of the time we just order the small plates. There is a huge selection. I love the shrooms and the vietnamise spring rolls. Daily drink specails are nice too. Big Patio. If you sign up for their email club online, they will send you specials every wednesday. Todays was desert for $.50 Also, if you check in on foursquare and show it to to your server, you will get a free order of frites. read more

Fantastic food. Wonderful, prompt service. Waiter even brought a sauce for a side dish without me asking saying that they went great together. He was right! read more

Went for my Birthday. Waiter was great with service. We had the stuffed mushrooms, ribs and scallops and all were delicious! They sent me a $15 off birthday coupon and gave me a free desert off the menu! Excellent place to go anytime! read more

Saturday night went to dinner with husband and son. Had called ahead to be added to wait list. Arrived on time and waited 10 minutes to be seated. Three tables were open and not filled by waiting guests. When seated did not get silverware and napkin. When we received our silverware one set was dirty. My husband and I each ordered Buffalo Bleu Chicken Salad. They were terrible. Hardly any lettuce and what lettuce there was consisted of "core" and no leaves. The chicken was terrible. It was over cooked and didn't seem to be real chicken. Some sauce was drizzled over it to try to cover up the fact it was overcooked. Terrible! read more

We went here last night for drinks net. Arrived at 5:15, very crowded waited 30 minutes to be seated. Four adults with two small children. Ordered drinks and food for children. Kids food and drinks arrived timely. Ordered more drinks still no adult meals. One if the drinks which specifically had requested less syrup was so sweet couldn't drink it. They made another one. Still waiting in food. Kids are done and restless now and we're told by the waiter our meals had been delivered to the wrong table and now we're being prepared again. The waiter was so causal about this. Ask for manager. She was upset when she arrived. Very loudly asked us "what do you want me to do". Very rude and combative. Won't be going back ever. read more

Best happy hour for food and drinks in Lee's Summit. Nice atmosphere and when the weather is nice the patio is great.

Houlihan's is a chain restaurant that doesn't feel like a chain restaurant. The food is fresh and tasty. It is a great place for apps and drinks. I don't like that you can only get happy hour specials in the bar area - makes it too competitive. Prices are slowly going up and portions continue to shrink, but the food quality keeps me going. I would recommend anyone to go there for a dependable meal and good service, At a little bit higher price. read more

Every time I go there, I ask myself why I returned. The food is generally good. It's the service that is horrible. I usually only go for their happy hour, as regular menu prices are too high. Birthdays, they offer free entre if you sign up on their mailing list. Take advantage of it! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. Service is always good, food fresh, and atmosphere pleasant. My favorites are fish tacos, lettuce wraps, and I LOVE the spinach salad with goat cheese. If we don't want to wait on a busy Fri or Sat night, we'll order carry out. Management is very responsive - we had a bad service experience and I reported it on their website. The next day I had a personal call from the manager who offered us gift certificates to rectify the bad experience! read more

Maybe it was our mistake for going during Happy Hour. We got seated right away. However, no waitress was to be found for the next 15 minutes. When she finally came over, she wasn't super pleasant. I get it, it's busy, you're busy, but I'm starving. The food took forever to come out, and when it did, they had forgotten an appetizer. She routinely forgot our drink orders. My friend never even got his food--we waited over 30 minutes then just cancelled it. She charged me full price for a drink I ordered during happy hour... I assume she didn't put it in the system until we asked for the check. Maybe that's why it was the wrong drink when she finally delivered it. The food was fine. Happy hour prices are awesome, but the staff was so bad I'm not sure we'll bother going back. read more

Service is terribly slow and there's no reason for it. Simply pay attention! No one at the bar should have an empty drink due to lack of service, especially on a Sunday afternoon while it's slow. read more

Yes this is a chain but it's a good one! I love their thai grilled chicken and it's low calorie which is even better. Their prices are reasonable and have a good selection of wine. read more

Just tried the new spiral cut veggie meals. YUMMY Just the right portion. LOVED the one with the butternut squash hot casserole. SHROOMS are still the big hit as an appetizer. Has a wonderful atmosphere for any friend hook up. Service for also top notch. Will return for sure. read more

Great small plates restaurant! Try the long island ice teas!

The hostess was disorganized and moved us to another table after consulting with the waitress. The waitress was nice and well groomed. We were the first customers seated on the restaurant side away from the bar. The asparagus was raw and tough as usual, par for the course. What do you do if everything is overcooked? Everything was brown, dark brown, extremely dark brown and black as ash. As in burned greasy charcoal. Like well done to the point of being cremated. How does the cook get away with sending out burned food? Burned food goes in the bin. Where was the manager? Please do not send us any more burned food please! read more

Food was great! I had the Thai chicken bowl and it was awesome! Lunch drink specials are great. Chelsea was an awesome server, and very attentive even though my boyfriend can be a bit... extra. We will be back! read more

Had the buffalo salad, delicious. Service very good. The manager recited the whole drink menu from memory for the ladies at the table. We made a reservation for a group of 10 and our table was ready when we got there. Nice job Houlihan's. read more

Houlihan's is one of my favorite restaurants. I'm very picky on where I decide to take friends to eat, but Houlihan's is always my number one choice. The good is amazing. The service is amazing as well. Very classy, dressed nice and put together. The patio seating is perfect if you enjoy eating outside. I would suggest Houlihan's to anyone I know. read more

We had such great service from Christina E. even before she brought our lunch to us. It was my 76th birthday and she made it soo enjoyable. Also, the manager, Peter R. was so friendly and concerned if the food was right which it was. I had not been to Houlihan's in Lee's Summit in quite some time; now I'm going more often. Katherine E. read more

I have visited Houlihan's for happy hour celebrations, holiday celebrations and simply for lunch or dinner. I have never left Houlihan's hungry or unsatisfied. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is top notch. Houlihan's is a great place to eat / drink/ celebrate. read more

I go to houlis about once a month. Love their happy hour specials and the pot roast is freaking amazing. I wish the bar was larger because it's often hard to find a seat at happy hour time...or that they would offer specials for the entire restaurant. Our service is always excellent. This past week we went for my birthday. Server was very attentive and did a great job. I will continue to support houlis as long as they continue providing excellent service and consistent food. I think that's what I appreciate the most. My food is always consistent and good. read more

When I asked my husband where he wanted to have his 88th birthday dinner in greater KC, he told me withought hesitation that he wanted Houlihan's meatloaf!!!! The serve the very best meatloaf in the nation with mashed potatoes and onion strings.....to die for good....now their asparagus and green beans, they do need to BOIL, as they do not steam them enough for all of us with not so good teeth!!!! Think about it Chef's, when you get to that point in your life, don't you want to be able to eat the whole meal???? Apple pie with caramel and ice cream....none better....We love our Houlihan's and are so thankful they are in our village of Lee's Summit MO. read more

Food and service is pretty good here. Parking is always an issue and this place is extremely loud. It is hard to carry on a conversation at your table. read more

I will never eat there again. their fish for fish and chips is tilapia not a FIRM white fish like cod, Pollock or whiting. The fries tasted like they were just warmed up in the fryer because they looked crispy but were mushy. Would not send my worst enemy there to eat. read more

They have one of the best happy hours in Lee's Summit not to mention the staff are always polite. KRISSI is the best she keeps me coming back. read more

Great food, and friendly helpful staff. I have had the Chicken Caesar salad the last two visits, and the pot roast on another visit. All very well done. Clean enjoyable restaurant. read more

I had the seared scallops for my free birthday dinner. I've had this dish before and it's one of my favorites! My husband had the burger which he said it was cooked perfectly. We've been to this Houlihan's many times and no matter what I order I'm always happy with my meal. I also appreciate that they offer new items periodically. Whether we sit inside or on the patio we've always had good service. read more

My wife and I joined the Houlihan's email list some time ago, and they sent me a coupon for a free entrée on my birthday. What a treat! I ordered the Grilled Atlantic Salmon. The taste and presentation of the food was good, and the service was prompt and courteous. The place is a bit noisy, but I wouldn't change anything else. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

If you are looking for something with Plaza prices without leaving Lee's Summit, this is the place! While the building is nice with a modern design, the setting sun was not considered into the dinning layout. Every time someone opened the front door (every 10 min or so) every patron facing west was temporarily blinded. While it gave it a nice indoor/outdoor feel, it was extremely annoying and reminded me of a strip mall restaurant with a glass front. A simple fix would be to tint the front lobby, which I'm sure they can afford. One appetizer, two drinks, and two meals will easily run you about $100 with tip. Do yourself a favor and visit the bar in person as not a single waiter here knows what type of alcohol they carry. It is almost as if there has been zero beverage training. This has not been a one time problem and is very embarrassing when bringing clients for meetings. It will take 25 minutes or so to get a drink because a second work meeting must happen between bartender and wait staff. PS they are charging $11.50 for small cocktails, and the entire bottle price for a glass of wine. Their food is good, I'll give them that, but portions are small (average for Europe) and you may leave still hungry. There is no dress code. My date and I arrived at seven pm to find people of Walmart sitting directly next to us. Screaming children were ignored by their parents and management (it's a family environment) and we left feeling like we could have stayed home with our own three kids. Do yourself a favor and take date night to Leawood or the Plaza. read more

Happy is awesome! $3.50 for a great tasting liter of Long Island Iced Tea. It doesn't get any cheaper than this!

I only gave this place a one star review because Yelp makes you at least give one star. This place is dirty! Not only in the kitchen but, in the way they treat their employees. They have refused to give me my final paycheck. They keep playing games saying it will be next week, then the next week the same. This is unacceptable. I have a family of four with two young kids and every penny is needed to get by. The ethics this place has to not pay employees what is owed to them is unacceptable. The GM Milo reminds you of Amy from Amy's Bistro that was featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Upon asking her about said paycheck she kicked me out of the restaurant. Avoid this place unless you agree with the business practice of not paying hard working employees. read more
