Great atmosphere was a total surprise when pulled until this little strip mall. Good food. Homemade food. Amazing Buffalo sauce. Check it out. It's worth it. read more

I had a ling travel day and decided to give Knub's a try. Wow! I wish I would have found it sooner! The whole team was friendly and inviting! I sat at the bar and Dallas took good care of me there. I had a drink in front of me fast. I was going to get a burger until I heard the special. It was a chili cheese dog... Nathan's hot dog, New York bun, home made chili, and home made cheese sauce. I got some jalapeño poppers on the side. The dog was hands down the best I have ever had. Everything was in perfect flavorful harmony! The poppers were a unique variation. They were little two bite spheres that were full of cheese and chopped jalapeños. Spot on awesome! The whole experience was fantastic! Great service, great food, cool venue!!! read more

We always love visits to our local neighborhood pub, Knubs. The atmosphere can be loud, lots of games on plus pinball machines. There's a TV in every booth, with your own remote. Off peak or not during games is more quiet if that's your vibe. Kitschy decor, old license plates, sports memorabilia, and as I mentioned lots of top quality pinball machines. They're a part of a local pinball group, too. Food is never less than amazing, I've added a couple photos, one from a recent visit (nachos) and a recent to go (wings and sampler). They have great weekday lunch specials, plus a different daily special each day. We are always anxiously checking the home cooking special on Sundays, awaiting the return of the corn dogs . Service is always good, the owner has made sure to welcome me and say hello every visit, either for togo or dine in. read more

Small, charming pub with a patio tables and pinball machines serves delicious food and drinks! Julie was amazing & took care of a table of 6. We ended up spending around a couple of hours here. I ordered 'Love me tenders' which came with a side & a sauce. Tenders were amazing and served hot & i destroyed it in less than 10 minutes. House slaw (side) could've been better. Others loved their beer options they tried too. Plenty of parking available outside! read more

If you are looking for a place to watch the game this is a great place. Every booth has its own tv so you can tune into your game. Interior decor is eclectic and fun. I love the inverted lamps on the ceiling. A broad menu with burgers, salads , Sammie's, and more. Servers are friendly and fast. read more

Last time I was at Knub's Pub I had a great time. On this visit, things didn't go as well. Service was slower than normal, with our server passing by several times without checking on us. Even with our check in hand and headed towards us, she changed direction and checked on another table, reversing her steps to take care of them when she could have literally taken two steps and dropped off our check. In addition my burger, while relatively good,was not cooked as ordered. Oh well, maybe next time. read more

Since last fall, my friend and I have been searching out KC's best arcades ... playing pinball beats doomscrolling, amiright? When our quest expanded to anywhere with games, we discovered Knub's. Their pinball machines aren't the star attraction, but they ARE well maintained and fun. What's brought us back weekly -- from across town -- is the great food and ambiance. We happened to meet one of the owners on our first night, and he was friendly and gracious. And the food! What a nice surprise that was! Knub's serves bar food that's several notches above your typical KC experience. Their cheese curd balls are uniquely delicious, and be sure you're not playing a game when they come to the table because they go fast! My blackened chicken sandwich was amazing, and all that was left of my friend's blackened wings was crumbs and a big smile on his face. His Bloody Mary had the bartender's special ingredient, which he said was great. And every time we've been there my cocktails have been on point. I say every time because we've been there once a week since. When was the last time you repeatedly drove a half-hour plus for amazing bar food? If you're tired of so-so service and the mediocre menu at your local spot, Knub's is more than worth the trip. read more

An eclectic spot with a scratch kitchen, pinball machines, and TVs in every booth which make watching ANYTHING you want during your meal a reality!! I ordered the burger and house salad-- the burger had great flavor, but was served almost medium rare. I should've told our server my burger preference, it just hadn't been a question she asked, so I didn't think of it! Be better than me- if you have a preference, be sure to mention it :) House ranch was fantastic- loved my side salad. We also had the grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries-- I think they're double dipped and that was a fun touch!! read more

A fun little neighborhood spot. TVs are everywhere. Even in the booths! They serve standard sports bar food - burgers, sandwiches, tenders, nachos and more. You can wash it all down with a delicious adult beverage from the fully stocked bar. Please plan accordingly because it can get crowded during peak times. Loud, too. read more

This is our second time dining here and the place still amazes me with their decor that blends nicely together. We had the Sample Platter for appetizer. For my entree, I had the Sea N Spud with sweet potato fries. Chris had the Chili Cheese Burger with Onion Rings and Rhi had the Brother Burger. Our food came hot and fresh and everyone was happy with their meal. Our server was very attentive. She checked on us every few minutes. read more

We decided to try out their Wednesday steak night. We had about a 20minute wait to get seated. When we did finally get seated, it took another 10 minutes for someone to come to our table to greet us and take our drink order. Service was pretty slow the whole time. At one point, both of us needed refills on our drinks and we saw our server in the back taking shots. On a positive note, the food was great. I had the steak special, which was a filet mignon and it was cooked to a perfect medium. My Husband had a cheeseburger which he really enjoyed. It was pretty good sized, and obviously fresh hand patties. I was disappointed with the slow service, but would give it another try, because the food was very good, and they have a great variety on the menu, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of only read more

Knub's Pub deserves 5 stars! The food is good, and the portion size gives you plenty to eat. The atmosphere is great. I enjoyed playing all the different pinball machines. The Addams family one is my fav. The owner seems like a really cool dude. I'm very happy this place is just down the street from home and work. Keep up the good work! read more

Really cool place and the kids love the pen ball machines. Always a good time and enjoy the cool atmosphere. Will continue visiting Knubs Pub. read more

The food was good but took a long time to get delivered to our table. We thought it was weird that there were children at every table in the pub environment it was extremely loud. read more

Waiting for a play at Mill Valley HS we decided to have dinner at Knub's Pub. This is a sports and pinball bar and decorated as one might expect. The menu is respectable and the service by Kaleigh was excellent start to finish. I opted for the Big Pub salad and added blackened chicken with the Apple Cider Vinaigrette. It wasn't particularly large but very good. We were a party of three and one meal consisted of a burger - I don't know which one- and onion rings. The other person had the same salad as I did sans blackened chicken. She also had onion rings and it all looked great. Like most sports bars the environment was on the loud side. I'm sure that Cinco de Mayo played into that. We really enjoyed Knub's Pub although I wouldn't drive the 30+ miles we did just to eat there. That said, if you're in the area and looking for a place to chill and enjoy some good food, this is your huckleberry. read more

Was introduced to the amazing Knub's Pub by a friend recently. Let's just say this... if you are looking for great quality bar food, amazing service, and a supper rad 80's/90's vibe, pinball machines included, look no further! We had the wings and appetizer sampler! read more

This is a very popular local spot. People become regulars quickly. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The decor is a standout. Notice the lamps hanging upside down from the ceiling. The walls showcase license plates. I donated my old California plate, and got to choose its spot. I smile and tap it every time I see it. read more

We googled for good wings in Johnson county. Knubs came up at the top. So we decided to give it a go and it did not disappoint. Every thing is home made and locally sourced. The wings were smoky and crispy. There are many other things on the menu we want to try so we will be back. Our bartenders personality was top notch - made us feel at home instantly. I'm only sad we don't live closer! read more

Really cool decor right when you walk in! We were immediately seated and got our drink order taken. I'm not a bone in wing girl (which is what I've heard is amazing) and so I just went with the chicken tender basket with fries. Hubs got the wings and fries. The wings looked nice and baked and I got was "they're good" My chicken tenders were a little over cooked but crispy. Fries were undercooked which I was not impressed with. Service was good. Music selection was fun. Will I drive 25 min to come here again? Probably not but if I'm in the area - sure read more

A cool little pub with some good food! We have been here twice now as a family and it doesn't disappoint. Service has been wonderful each time. They have quirky decor to go along with 5 or 6 pinball machines inside. Place is a bit small and always busy so you might have to wait a little to get seated. Good food, good service, all around good vibe! read more

Unique and tasty burgers, friendly hosts, and attentive staff. Nice pub feel! My girlfriend had the pork tenderloin sandwich and asked for it to be done a certain way and it was done perfectly. The onion rings and fries were excellent. The Brother Burger was awesome. Can't wait to come back. read more

Fun atmosphere and best pub food around. The burgers are some of the best I have ever tried.

We go here regularly as locals. Great food, great service and the owners are super nice. They seem to treat their staff well, and just good vibes. Burgers are good, and our family favorite is the beef nachos. Wings are great as well, prices on wings are up some but so is Everywhere else. Beer is a decent selection, could maybe have a couple More options but pretty good for smaller place. You should give it a try if you haven't yet. read more

So the first thing I would tell you is review my photos. I showed up directly from festival wearing all of my gear... minus sword of course. Several of us came here to have a relaxing meal outside. It was a fantastic night and the staff was very good about keeping an eye out for us to have empty beers or plates. I was very pleased with all of the food. The wings were still moist and flavorful and my burger was to die for! Sides and apps were also greatly delicious and huge sized helpings. Here is the one "complaint" they had some delicious beers... but as always the selection really seems to be heavy on the IPA or Pale Ale side. An establishment like this really deserves more Brownes, Porters, and Stouts. But, those are also to fit my taste. Thanx for reading and keep on eating! read more

I know the cost of dinning is getting out of control these days, BUT 3 sandwiches, and nachos with water to drink was over $60 before tip. The serving sizes were minimal, especially the french fries, and items were missing from them menu description. One burger, no pickles and on another only 2 pickle slices - come on Knub's you can do better than that for the prices you're charging!!! Service also suffered; our server stopped at our table a total of 3 times. He spent the majority of his time near the kitchen door talking to fellow workers or just standing there.... No water refills were offered, no plates for the appetizer (although requested); however, we did get an additional 4 pickle slices when we asked for them - a positive I guess. And the noise... the music was annoyingly loud and people were compensating just to be heard, adding to the confusing atmosphere. Overall, very disappointing way to spend ~$70. We've been there many times over the years and have enjoyed dining there, but this recent visit will be our last visit. read more

Wings are pretty good but pricey. Fish n chips are terrible! Fries are not good. Fun atmosphere with pinball games. Staff I'd friendly. Just another pricey pub honestly. read more

Great food and prices for a pub night out! The atmosphere is fun with TBs at the booths and arcade games.

The best wings and nachos in town! The nachos come out on a sheet pan and they broil them so some of the chips get crispy and they aren't piled too high so the toppings are nicely spread out. They bake their wings so they are crispy and delicious! read more

I've been here twice, once for dinner and drinks on a Saturday night and once for lunch on a Sunday at noon. The good: there are televisions at every table and you can pick what you are watching! The food is mediocre at best. The service is mediocre at best. The drinks are just ok. There is nothing about this place that makes it any better than your average bar and grill. I like that it isn't a chain, but I think there are much better bars and grills with much better food and much better service. read more

10/5 stars!! This place rocks!! Cassie, Brandon and Corey are awesome so is the rest of the staff! Come once a year from San Diego and this place always makes me feel at home! Can't recommend this place enough! The food was top notch and the bar ambiance and decor is unmatched! The best dive bar around! read more

First visit today after softball games at MidAmerica. The service was excellent, and food was great. We had grilled chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and a Ruben with fries, which were all great. Also, the portions were large and reasonably priced. Good beer selection, and cool environment with pin ball games. Will definitely go back. Oh, the kids menu has nachos on it, which were really well liked. read more

Fun environment! Food is pretty mediocre but the beer is cold! They had trivia on the night we went so that made it fun!

Always amazing food and a fun environment. A hidden treasure in West Shawnee. Highly recommended

We love knubs pub. The staff is amazing and we have never ever had bad service here. We love the chicken and beef nachos and don't forget a sweet heat martini. One of the owners Cory always comes around to check on everything. It's always a happening place so get there early. read more

What a great place! I have driven past this place several times because I didn't want the typical "bar" food. Boy was I in for a surprise! Great food (I had the Rubin) and the waitress was very attentive and answered all out nubby questions. Highly recommend Knob's Pub for your next outing with the family! read more

We just had dinner here and I am so pleased! On the surface, it's kind of like any old pub. Like a Tanners or something. But every person who worked there was extremely kind and accommodating and seemed happy to be there. The food was also exactly what I wanted. Bar food, but really high quality. Would go again! read more
