    Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes
    Frank S.

    The service at this location was great and the Wednesday night special of chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy was awesome for a bar.

    Barbecue Chicken Pizza
    Jeff David G.

    A decent sports bar that's a chill place to relax and watch a game. They have lots of TVs all over the place and the tables are set up pretty well for viewing. The hosts were kind, and the waitress was nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the food falls a bit flat. I got the Wilson's wings with fries and they weren't bad, but they are a bit expensive for six wings and fries. The barbecue chicken pizza was pretty dry and did not have a whole lot of flavor or texture. The other meals seemed about on par with these ones. Still a fun environment to catch up with some friends, just don't expect the greatest food.

    Pizza Monday!!!

    Kylie is AWESOME! Food never disappoints!! Great daily specials!! Clean restrooms, restaurant. Service with a Smile!!

    The Hamburger Is very good but the fries were not great and the ice cream too was good

    If I was Dave Portnoy I'd give this a 2.0 - undercooked pizza. More grease than a middle schooler on the bus ride home

    I've been coming here off and on for more than 13 years, first because it was close to my office at the time, and later as a local resident. The service and food has always been absolutely solid with great specials, especially the Chef's Tuesday Mexican special which always draws a crowd. Pizza is New York style and really great, burgers are always terrific. The chef's special on Friday is usually a home-run too. I grew up in central KS in a town of 4,000 people, and this is as much of a local bar as you can get - if you even visit occasionally, the staff knows your name and you know theirs; over time you'll meet a ton of patrons that call this place home.

I saw they had $4 vodka Red Bulls, and that solidified my want to come here even more. I didn't order an appetizer because I wanted to get straight to the food. I went with the Fried Clucker and a side of waffle fries. This sandwich was unbelievable huge..smothered in their house sauce, which tasted like a milder version of buffalo sauce. I thought the flavor was good, but the fried skin was falling off the chicken. Every time I cut a piece, the breading would just slide right off. Maybe they need to brine the chicken better to help it stick more but it was no biggie, it still had a good flavor. My boyfriend ordered the chicken-fried chicken, and honestly... nothing too special about it. The mashed potatoes that came with it were flavorless at first, but once we added salt and pepper, they were tasty. Now, I get that this is a bar and grill, so I'm not trying to be overly critical or nit-picky but in that category, Brewbakers definitely ranks on the higher end. This is hands down the best bar and grill I've tried when it comes to food. They even serve Jambalaya here.. what kind of bar and grill do you ever see serving this?? Would I come back? Of course! It is out of the way where i usually am, but im excited to come back and try other things off their menu.

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.

Their extensive beer offering is amazing, but cannot enjoy that during a work lunch! We went on a Thursday which is the Burger and fries combo special. Their basic cheeseburger comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato and choice of condiments. I ALWAYS get their amazing tots that are perfectly seasoned and crispy, but my coworkers upgraded to the massive onion rings. Between the large 1/2lb burger (cooked perfectly!) and sides none of us could completely finish our plates! I have never had a bad dish at either location. Our server, Chastity, was super nice and helpful and explained everything for the first timers in our group. She and Hailey do a great job and we are looking forward to trying another special! Next time I will take pictures before inhaling the top notch food! The only downside is the place is noisy, since the ceiling is wide open. Not a deal breaker for me or our group, but I could see it bothering someone more picky. Thank you!

The space has a really nice, open layout, and our server was fantastic and incredibly attentive. Our eyes immediately went to the shake menu, and our server was nice enough to let us split a cinnamon roll shake, serving it up in two separate glasses for us. For food, my buddy got the tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't one of those cartoonishly dinosaur-sized portions you see at some places, but he said it was really tasty and well worth it. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with garlic aioli, and it hit the spot. The burger was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were perfectly seasoned, and the bun was toasted (always a nice bonus). Even the fries were perfectly crispy. All in all, I was very pleased with the meal. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu!
