Food was good. I always order the George's Bay Scallops and I thank the accomplished cooks for this. I also want to mention this charming young lady, Olivia, who was our server and so attentive checking on us often with such sweet smile on her face.! read more

Been to this restaurant for drinks in the past. It's convenient location in Lee's Summit makes it a great choice. We popped in with friends for a few drinks. We were seated in the dining space, but moved to s cozy booth in the bar area. Our server was quick to introduce himself and gather our orders. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. The drinks arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered a Manhattan and a spiked cherry limeade. Both were refreshing and yummy. The limeade was served in a pitcher, what a delight! This business is known for long island iced read. They are served in a pitcher. Definitely a thirst quencher. Wish we still had a Houlihans in the Northland. Instead, we make a mecca to this location when we can. read more

That was one of the worst experiences going out to eat, I've ever had. Expensive prices for small portions, overcooked steak, messed up drink, waitresses tried charging us for alcohol we did not order, all our parties checks were screwed up, slow service and they forgot our dessert until half our later. AND THAT WAS WRONG TOO. We paid the bill and learned our lesson. read more

Amazing!!!! The drinks, the food, the games on TV, the service, the non-wait! Food was hot, delicious and served with a masked-smile read more

Sometimes I like to give businesses the benefit of the doubt before posting a review unless I absolutely cannot go back. I have been there three times. The first time was ok. Food was great but service sucked majorly. The second time we had more than two people and we had great service and very tasty food so it restored my faith in the place. Then we went a third time to celebrate something. Entree came before appetizer. Salad got forgotten. The steak temp was wrong so they had to take it back I didn't even wanna eat by then so I told them I didn't want another one so they just took it off the check. Not what I wanted on a celebration night. The ambiance is slowly turning into a very old fashioned one that is not inviting. Don't get me wrong we love going to the green lady jazz club for the old fashion ambiance but houlihans fails to capture the better side of that so. Will I go back? Only if I get invited to a must go to party por dinner there but won't be one of my choices. read more

We had 3 appetizers, the cheese, mushrooms, and calamari and 2 entrees, the shrimp and prime rib. Everything (including service) was wonderful! read more

Bad, disappointing, unrelaxing experience. We came here for lunch, but the past couple of times I've been here it has been horribly inefficient and things have just overall been wrong. I only gave this one star because the food (that we DID get) was decent. We sat in the bar, which was decently empty when we got here. The service was so slow, and with the "lunch guarantee" you would think it would be much faster than it was. We were at the restaurant for over an hour and a half with only one drink refill, that we had to beg our waitress for. My iced tea was not "iced" at all. I just love drinking hot tea from a water glass *not*. One person in our party ordered "the soup and salad that never ends", but apparently we found the ending because he only got one salad, and one soup in the entire duration of our visit. I ordered the lunch combo with soup but the soup never came. Apparently "the board gets so overwhelmed with soups and salads that it's hard to keep track of what soups have gone out." Well, it's not our fault that we ordered food and half of what we ordered didn't come out. We asked someone to bring it and the other waitress straight up ignored us. The waitresses made excuses for literally everything under the sun. I was supposed to get chips and salsa but got fries. Good thing I'm not gluten intolerant because I was so starving I ate the fries, which were decent. In the midst of all of this, we were pleasantly surprised by a show that was going on outside! A WAITRESS STORMED OUT AND SAID SHES NOT COMING BACK. We told our waitress we had to catch a plane, so her solution to this was to "give us soup to go" ???? On what earth and what airline does it allow you to bring soup on a plane??? Nice gesture by the waitress, but doesn't fix our horrible experience. *update* soups came out NOT IN TO GO CONTAINERS. Without spoons. Let me scarf the boiling hot soup down with my HANDS real quick before I need to catch my PLANE. I don't know what's going on with this establishment but I'm definitely not coming back until they get their rude, disrespectful, attitude-ridden, incompetent staff under control. read more

Houlihan's - Because it's convenient to pour soup into another "bowl" without a spout. - Bars Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Love this restaurant, nice atmosphere, great service, good food. But...we went yesterday, and I ordered the filet mignon, which comes with two sides. I asked for one of my sides to be the french onion soup. Server told me there was a $2 upcharge. Now, priced individually, the sides are $4.99. Soup is $5.49. So if my elementary math serves me correctly, that is a difference is $.50. I asked the server why they were going to charge me $2 to get the soup instead of fries, pointing out the above $.50 difference. He just said "I don't know, and I know it doesn't make any sense". Please Houlihan's, stop this practice. It is an insult to our intelligence and our pocketbooks. read more

Hot damn this was pretty good. I came on the happy hour with my Brothers-in-law. The signature cocktails are $5, you heard me right, $5! All appetizers are $5 as well. Even their godzilla sized Long Island Iced tea. Seriously, if you ever need to get crunk enough to go streaking in the quad, just get one of these. I ordered the mushrooms, two flatbread pizzas, thai wings, buffalo wings, and the guac. The king of it all was the mushrooms. Those honkers came with a great horseradish sauce that wasn't too strong but very tasty. The thai wings were good with their sweet thai chili and the buffalo wings were tasty but not hot at all. One of the flatbreads was a bbq chicken, it was very good. Now we lose that 5th star. The margarita pizza was bland. It tasted like a black and white movie. The guac was almost a hate crime. It was seriously lacking the salt and garlic. It came with a good salsa but the chipotle mayo or whatever it was, was just plain bad. I'd rather just to have had a spoon of mayonnaise. For real. I'd come again though. A good atmosphere and great prices. Give it all a try. Except the guac and margarita pizza nasty. read more

I went here for my birthday and had Chicken Parmesan. My husband had the meatloaf. Both were good and we had enough food to take home and have the next night for dinner. We had a good server and all in all a good experience. read more

Great food and great service it made my birthday celebration a success The seared scallops and the crusted mahi-mahi topped off with the vanilla crème brûlée was fantastic read more

Great good. Tyler provided great service. Menu selection was a good variety. They have a very good loyalty reward program. Meatloaf is my favorite. read more

I have been here a couple times and enjoyed both. Service is friendly and efficient, food is delicious and they have a decent seafood choice. (The Diver scallops were awesome!) Most recently I split lunch entrees with my friend Maria and we enjoyed each bite: stuffed mushrooms are decadent, (yes order the 7...3 just isn't enough!) and the kitchen kindly split two entrees for us. The grilled Korean Chicken and the Tilapia. What's cool is their lunch guarantee (ask your server) receive your lunch order in 20 min or less, or it's free. I need to try out their HH (available in the bar area) and yes, the stuffed mushrooms are on the HH menu. read more

Large comfortable interior. Easily quickly sat our party of 8. Service quick at first then after lunch waited excessively for a check. Food okay- the cauliflower bowl with shrimp & crispy onions, had nice flavors if you love extra garlic & bathed in greasy butter. The other lunches & soups were fine. Like it to be better than fine. Later... JW thanks for listening & having high standards. I have a policy if not accepting coupons or any perk after review so excuse me if I don't reach out. I will be back. Best, SB read more

Never had an issue with this place. Been there 2-3 times. Delicious! Place is always clean, staff is always on top of everything.

I have to say I am here once in a while and on a very narrow time window. Happy hour is the key for me when it comes to this wonderful location. First of all I hope more restaurants like this keep coming to the Lees Summit area. We need you! Happy Hour is the best, the menu they give you has excellent food (from the Tuna to the sliders) and every item is good. Bartenders are friendly, helpful and fast. What more can you ask for a Happy Hour Hot Spot? read more

Typical bar food, nothing to write home to mom about. It's usually busy the times I've visited, but this day was the first time I had to wait a long time to order and receive my drink and well as cash out. But when I finally did it was good. A lot of regulars in there so the bartenders know who you are, even if you're coming from out of town like myself. read more

Still a great happy hour!! We had a nice November here in KC so we decided to sit on the patio. Our waitress was great, we ordered a Long Island and I have no complaints. read more

The service was above and beyond, I can't recall the man's name but he made our night! Food was great, I will be back.

I would leave negative stars if possible. We had reservations Christmas Day and 20 minutes before arrival they canceled our reservations. They were at capacity. They had all sorts of excuses. When speaking to manager I asked how the system fails for reservations knowing volume of customers. I have used open table multiple times and their system is pretty spot on without over booking. What it came down to was poor management. They allowed more walk-ins than they could handle and it affected the entire restaurant. I appreciate them being there on a holiday, but we made reservations and we make sure to heavily tip or staff. They enjoy working certain holidays because of the money they make. It would have been a completely different situation not being a holiday. There are only a select few restaurants open and we cannot just walk in and grab a bite to eat. The stores were closed and couldn't go grab something to make. Because they deleted my reservation I cannot write a review on open table. read more

I haven't been to this Houlihan's in years. I stopped in to watch the game with my sister. I ordered off of the Prix Fixe menu. I should have known it would have been too much food. I ordered the 'srooms for my appetizer and that's where I should have stopped. The chicken sandwich wasn't the best but I've seen better pictures of it. I selected the vanilla bean cheesecake for dessert - it's still sitting in my fridge. I'm just not a sweet eater. For $20, you get a lot of good. Actually two people could share a meal. Overall, the bartenders and the restaurant was good! read more

Food was good but this place is filthy. Floor had food all over it and don't look up, the exposed ductwork and light fixtures are covered with dust. This was the second time in 4 months we've been there and both time it was dirty. read more

My husband and I always have a good experience at the Houlihan's in Lee's Summit. Service is always good and so is the food. Prices are decent. One of the best happy hours in town! On our last visit we noticed the outdoor patio was a mess. Leaves, dirt and trash all around. Not an inviting area to dine. That's the only area of improvement needed that I could see. read more

Stopped in for an adult beverage and it was on point as in the past. I enjoy a good Long Island but they have several versions to choose from. I had the Long Beach version and it is the best. Happy Hour is a good time! read more

always a great visit to Houlihan's in Lee's Summit! Food & service are always spectacular! Great selection.

Good food and service. I have been to this restaurant multiple times and haven't had a negative experience yet.

I love houilhans!!! My server unfortunately was not very skilled but I'll still go back. He almost poisoned me with a margarita that had orange juice after specifically saying I couldn't have it. He also kept our large group waiting for water. I had to get up and go to the bar for a water to dilute the orange juice I had just ingested to not have a major allergic reaction. read more

Got an awful piece of fish, sent it back and the second was good. Waitress was great but no manager at all to come to the table and at leaf apologize. Have worked in the restaurant business before and a manager should take charge but he obviously is soft! read more

I came here again the other day, trying to give this place another shot even though I have been overcharged with a tip that does not meet what I left. Other times I've been here where someone was cleaning as we were trying to eat (at least an hour before closing). Well, once again this time I had left a tip and was overcharged with what I am guessing was a write-in. The total was reversed in numbers with how it came out of our account. Anyhow, I have called twice and have spoken with at least two managers. The first manager said that she would contact their accounting department and that a refund would be sent to our bank account in 3 to 5 business days. I called over a week later when no refund had been sent, and this time I got a hold of another manager who said that there had been some delay in refunds from their accounting department. I was getting the impression that this overcharging may be a standard issue there. Anyhow, this manager said that she would look into it and contact me. I gave her my contact info and went over the receipt I had. She claimed that she would call me back soon, and of course I never got a call back. It has been three days. read more

I was disappointed in the quality of preparation & portion sizes. Service was very good. Ambiance is comforting.

HORRIBLE!!!! My son got the kids pizza and fries. Visually the fries looked overcooked, which they were. I ordered the KC strip with fries and macaroni. The sides were blend, no seasoning at all, but wasn't even the worst thing! The steak was cooked good on the inside but the outside tasted burnt!!!!! They must have burnt something on the grill and didn't clean it off before they made my steak! I literally only ate 2 bites. I didn't complain because I have a fear of someone doing something to my food! So yes I still paid for the horrible food! This was definitely my first and last visit read more

Hub and I ate lunch recently and our food was outstanding. We had tuna & endless soup and salad. Other than the food, the service was gold star outstanding. Our server's name was Brian (I think) He was so attentive and on point I'd hire him in a split second. We will return and ask for Brian read more

This was my first time to Houlihan's and my partner's umpteenth time. He has loved this place and has had many good drinks, food and service. He likes the bar atmosphere with the indoor and outdoor seating and loved the disco fries that are no longer on the menu. I, on the other hand, have some very different thoughts. The four of us were seated at a table and I ordered a Tito's martini up, dry with a lemon twist. The server comes back and says, "would you like a single or double?". I thought this was weird. I order martinis all the time and I never been asked this question. I answered single. What was brought to me was a martini glass half full of crushed ice floating on top of the drink. It looked like a martini slushy. The whole idea behind ordering "up" is the liquid is chilled in the shaker and strained into a chilled glass. I sent it back the second one came back made with a lemon-flavored vodka. I drink enough Titos to know when it's not Titos. I don't know if the issue was the server or the bartender. In any case, I sent it back and had a glass of wine instead. The food was mediocre at best. My partner ordered the pot roast. The vegetables were on the hard side, so not cooked with the meat. The menu described it with a red wine sauce, but no sauce on the plate unless it was all absorbed by the mashed potatoes. Our friends split an entree and we were not charged a fee for splitting. Maybe this was an off night. For me there are too many other restaurants to spend my hard-earned money here. read more

Starting with positive. I sat at the bar 3 pm. Bartender and staff were attentive and friendly. Ordered a few happy hour apps. The seared tuna delicious as always. I also got the chicken lettuce wraps. They were not as impressive as in the past. It was a way smaller portion and served with limp butter lettuce. Normally two apps are plenty but had to order another as I was still hungry. I ordered the egg rolls. Uggh they came out soggy and falling apart. Nothing like what has been served in the past. I know restaurants are struggling right now and keep trying to go out and support. One last complaint...it is 25 degrees out and employees are enter/ exiting the patio door right by the bar bringing the cold air which was not pleasant read more

Went to this location to meet a colleague for an early working dinner, about 4:00 on a weekday. We told our greeter and server we'd be there for awhile. We were assured that was not a problem. We each ordered cocktails, appetizers, an entree, and dessert. We were preparing to order coffee and get down to work when our server asked us if we would mind leaving as he wanted to join our table with another one to seat a group of 8 coming in. Hugely disappointed in that. We had come in with files and told him earlier we were hoping to have a productive working dinner and evening. There were multiple open tables available and no line. While the food was delicious, based on our treatment, I won't return to this location again. read more

17 minutes to get my order from take out after they told me to be there. then they brought out my order and I was wrong I waited some more they brought out my order it was the same order that they brought out the first time it was wrong I waited some more they brought out a third order it was a DoorDash order not mine I finally had to go inside and find my order how terrible of service is that Yeah and I got I'm sorry read more

They had a lemon chicken special. Sure looked better in the picture than it was. It was too salty and the corners of the chicken were hard. Sure wouldn't order that again! read more

This used to be one of our favorite spots for lunch during the week and after church. We had a our second bad experience in the last six weeks today. Restaurant was empty but still took over 30 minutes to get our food, then one order was wrong and we'd all finished before it was brought out. They did take it off our bill but that is two strikes, not sure we'll be back any time soon. read more

the food was great but the best part was Our server, Brandi. she had incredible cus service skills. great smile, great eye contact, and efficacious service. she's a keeper!! read more

We stopped in for happy hour. We had to walk through the restaurant to get to the patio. As we entered a couple was leaving complaining about no service. Should have listened. We noticed that there were about 5 tables inside and about half of the tables at the bar were full. The outside was pretty full. We sat and waited about 5 min for our waiter. We ordered drinks. Then we waited 30 min for drinks. During that time, we noticed others had the same issue. So, we called a different restaurant, made a reservation and left after paying. read more
