We were glad we had made reservations and to our surprise we were seated as soon as we arrived. Most places have you wait a bit even though you have reservations. The dining area has a great view of the outdoors and patio seating area where there were quite a few guests enjoying drinks. The artisan fried chicken salad was huge (lots of good chicken) but it was basically lettuce with chicken on top without a lot of other fixings. The Rueben was just ok (not much sauerkraut) and the steak was thinner than we would have liked. read more

This place is very hit or miss. I've been there on a weekend and the food was decent, the service was good, although they were super busy. We went during the week most recently and the service was sub par and our burgers were served raw. The fries looked like they came off of someone else's plate. This place is just very inconsistent and an all around disappointment. It's almost always very loud and quite chilly as the staff seem to set the temperature to whatever suits them. It's a shame, I wanted to like this place, I've even gave them several tries, but it's just not worth the effort if 2 out of 3 times it's going to suck. read more

Haven't been here in several months but decided to go there tonight towards the end of happy hour (5:40 pm). There was an expected wait of "15 to 20 minutes", left my number for a text message. Waited 30 minutes and lucked out with 2 seats at the bar while waiting for a table. After 2 (average at best) cocktails, I went up to the hostess and was assured when a table was open I'd recieve a text alert. We gave up and told the bartender. Ten minutes later he took our food order. Thirty two minutes after that, we got our food with the wrong side order. Bartender apparently notified kitchen and after 15 minutes I asked about the side order. He went back in the kitchen and brought out the fries... 47 minutes for a side of fries. To top off this nightmare, I had to wait to pay my bill and by this time the bar was half empty. This is a HUGE pet peeve to have to wait to pay them money. Total time spent = 2 hours I'll never go back. There are other quality places nearby so I won't come back because they must not care about customer service. By the way, I NEVER did recieve a text alert. Don't waste your money on overpriced drinks, mediocre food, and horrible service. read more

I have really gotten into Nick and Jake's especially on Saturdays, as they have 8 or 9 specials to choose from and they are $9/each and plenty of food. They also usually have a couple of seasonal desserts as well. Monday-Friday each carries their own delicious daily specials. If you can't find something to entice you from those there are plenty to choose from on the regular menu. Monday through Friday they also have great happy hour drink and food items. There are also two different menus for the kiddos (one for the younger and one for older. Not just mac-n-cheese either.) They have great desserts too! It's nice to see that a couple of the desserts have a "small and regular" size. Check it out, you won't be sorry! read more

Warm environment and good food. We have had 3 good dining experiences and then one time the left the salmon off a friends salmon blt.

Easily my favorite place in western Shawnee. The staff are always nice, portions are perfect, and the atmosphere is exactly what I'd expect from a neighborhood restaurant. They also have a couple different allergy-specific menus and they're VERY flexible and accommodating with a range of "normal" menu options. Lastly: The Beast Burger is the best burger I've had in a long time. read more

Don't eat here! They have many many many health code violations. The food is sub par, and expensive. I don't want to know what is going on in the back kitchen! It was not worth the price at all. read more

It's been a few years since we've visited Nick & Jake's. The service was awesome and the food/drinks were fantastic! I had the salmon special - really good and I have leftovers for tomorrow night! Hubbie had the delicious corn jalapeño soup and wings - I had a taste and they were amazing! Carrot cake for dessert - WOW! We will definitely be back. So glad we decided to visit tonight! read more

Nick and Jake's is one of my favorite Kansas City restaurants. The fire cracker salad is my absolute favorite and they usually have delicious specials. And you can never go wrong with the best chocolate cake in town. read more

Food is good. Always friendly servers Service is nice, very laid back Ambiance is nice read more

Very good service. The atmosphere was very nice. We sat on the bar side, which I like how they have two separate areas. The food was overall pretty good. read more

Seven of us were easily accommodated with excellent food and great service at a reasonable price. Three of us chose our food from the Octoberfest menu and everyone was well pleased with their food. We were in a quiet corner and were allowed to stay for a nice long visit. As a vegetarian, I requested that they cook my breakfast burrito with no meat, and it was outstanding. I look forward to our next visit. read more

I love the bar area. It's a good size with many tvs. The appetizers are all really good. Most of the food is worth trying. The service is awesome and the beer is always cold. read more

Food was amazing. The service was very good and we had a great evening eating out on the patio. Had seating in the shade.

Just moved to town and wanted to check out the local spot! Husband and I stopped for a quick lunch around 11. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. 1. Drinks- strawberry basil lemonade is super refreshing and delicious. A little heavy on the simply syrup for me, so definitely on the sweeter side but the flavors were good aside from that. 2. Food- I forgot to take pictures! I ordered the pear pollo pecan salad and husband went with Reuben sandwich. My salad was perfect. I normally ask for dressing on the side but forgot this time and was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't over dressed. Chicken on it was fresh, hot and juicy. Pear, candied pecans and craisins added the perfect sweet touch and the blue cheese crumbles just brought it all together. Generous portions and very happy. Per my husband, the Reuben was excellent! Fries were seasoned well. A little pricey for lunch but not unreasonable 3. Service- All staff were wearing masks and taking appropriate serving precautions. The timing was amazing. I think we had our drinks within 2 minutes and food within like 10 minutes of ordering and that's probably overestimating. 4. Setting- excited to use that outdoor tv for games in the future! read more

Love the Salmon BLT, its my go to sandwich when I order out for lunch. I can't speak to the service on the inside because I have only gotten carry out the 20+ times that I've had this sandwich. I typically order mine without cheese, or tomato. I don't like tomato because it tends to make the sandwich too wet. There have been a few times when they have left it on along with the cheese and I am lactose intolerant so that is why I keep the cheese off. They are great with correcting their mistakes so I can speak to that part of their customer service and give them an A+ The sandwich is on brioche bread and the sweetness of the bread, mixing with the salt of the sauce they on it is a great balance. As for the salmon, it is cooked to PERFECTION! The place where I used to get my salmon sandwich would always dry out the salmon but this salmon is consistently moist, delicious and cooked to perfection. The french fries have a great flavor to them. The piece of lettuce is sometimes really wet and droopy but I deal with it. I think its like that because I get carry out. I like to always ask for a side of honey mustard because I love a sauce and I am always accustomed to order honey mustard when I get a salmon sandwich just incase it comes out dry, but this sandwich never does. The honey mustard is also a nice addition to all the other flavors going on. read more

Great sports bar with an awesome menu selection. We came here for lunch after my son's hockey game. Nice specialty cocktail menu. They have Saturday specials for $9...very cool. They have small plates too! We got their shrimp and grits, it was very good with bacon and a sweet BBQ style sauce. I got the salmon limon - $9 special, salmon was great and not overcooked. My husband and son got the buffalo wings with homemade ranch and liked them. Very friendly staff and the place has a great vibe. read more

This is our new "go to" casual dining. The place was clean, the service was decent, and the prices were fair for their food offerings. We didn't previously know about this place, so it was certainly a wonderful surprise. The reason I didn't choose all 5 stars was that it may have been a little "too casual" as far as the servers who were great- but could have been slightly better aware of the tables they hosted, still a wonderful choice! read more

We usually go here with out of town guests for happy hour. This kickstarts almost every visit and we have not been disappointed. Thai shrimp is 5-star. House salad is a great light option. We've tried the mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadillas, crab cakes-amazing, house chips with cheese dip, shrimp mac n cheese. The shrimp mac recipe has changed a few times. The latest is blackened but that was totally missed, I do prefer the idea of blackened to the former citrus bbq. Drinks- sangria HH is delicious, bar is excellent if you have a favorite drink. Fun, lively but relaxed atmosphere. Can get loud in dining or bar areas, outdoor is great in summer. Service can be slow at times, bar can take a little longer, but. a must visit. read more

I ordered the fish and chips for lunch it was tasty but the portion size was three small pieces of fish and definitely not worth $14 for a lunch size. The service was good but my meal was definitely overpriced for what you get. read more

Horrible, horrible food. We ordered the Crispy Thai Shrimp, Chicken Quesadillas, Salmon BLT and Fries, Chardonnay and water. The fries, Chardonnay and water was fine. The rest was a messy gob of food with a lack of flavor. The restaurant itself was nice with lots of windows, patio and big bar. I will not be returning. read more

My dine-in lunch experience at this new location was very good. The steak salad ($12 Tuesday special) was served with a smile in just eight minutes. It was generously sized, with plenty of tasty steak and fresh veggies. The service at the bar was friendly and efficient. I liked the clean, new, and nicely done interior with upbeat 80's background music, plenty of TVs, and free wi-fi. This location has daily lunch specials, a happy hour, a Sunday brunch, and a patio with a fireplace (under construction). The specials are priced lower at the other locations, but overall this location was very nice. read more

I had the steak soup and salad. The soup was so good that I will get the bowl next time. Bryan provided great service.

Excellent food and service! Great menu, always know what to expect. Great restaurant for Shawnee

(High 3, but just can't say 4 stars). We went here for a family dinner. My mother-in-law made reservations and everything went smooth with that. There was no wait and our table was ready. The server was very nice. I ordered one of the special drinks, the paradise mule and it was amazing! I ordered off the daily special menu. I wanted the Walleye, but sadly they were out. So I opted for a rare smoked prime rib dinner. The wait for food was not bad. The taste of the prime rib was delicious, but it was a little over cooked for my liking. (Yes I like my beef mooing, but I don't like wasting meat so I did not tell the waiter so I don't hold this issue against the restaurant). I was a little disappointed in the amount of asparagus given. I love asparagus and a few pieces was just not enough. I was also disappointed in the lack of flavor of the mashed potatoes. Personally if there's no gravy or sauce then the potatoes themself need to be seasoned or flavored, and these were not. The menu state aus jus also came with the meal. When I did not receive this I asked the waiter and he said it didn't come with the meal, but he got some for me anyway. I ended up using some of the aus jus for my potatoes. The aus jus was lacking in flavor as well, but the horseradish sauce was perfect! My husband and I decided to split dessert. The chocolate cake bread pudding was amazing! The ice cream served with it was creamy and vanilla packed. Great way to end a meal. Overall I could see myself going back but probably won't order something out of my normal options I choose from. read more

This place has a good atmosphere. We went there for lunch & had a Fried Chicken salad, a Pear Pecan chicken salad & a cup of steak soup. Most of the dressing choices are too sweet. They try to have "unique" dressings but maybe they should keep it simple & have oil vinegar or just Italian. The chicken on both salads had no flavor or seasoning. A little salt, pepper & garlic would have been better than nothing. Our waitress was very nice & attentive so she was the best part of the lunch. This lunch with iced tea cost over $50. For that price, it should have tasted much better. read more

Food was great. Seated almost immediately after walking in on a Friday eve. Waitress was busy so drinks didn't get refilled and menu questions not answered.. but would go back. Nice place with great food read more

The food was dry and a big disappointment. The waitress rushed us taking away plates before we had even finished eating. Won't go back.

My husband and I love going and sitting near the bar. We go for happy hour and enjoy an appetizer and their chocolate cake! If we bring our children, they always bring something small for them to snack on. read more

Nice settings. Servers are very nice. Food is good. Only draw back first thing you see when you walk in is young teens standing around the host desk. They need to be groomed a little better in dress. read more

The food was good and the service was great. I have enjoyed the various meals that I have had.

I came back to this location with my husband, daughter and her softball team! Believe it or not, we had Sammie as a server instead of a host! I was also delighted to see Rille serving and helping our friends out! Always love seeing these 2! We also got to meet a manager named Stacy who was very professional and sweet! I ordered the Fried Chicken Salad with ranch! The chicken was crispy yet juicy and their homemade ranch always hits the spot. However, my food did come out a little bit warm, like the chicken had been sitting on the lettuce for awhile and wilted the lettuce slightly. We were a big party all together so i did not bring this up Sammie or Stacy. I love this place and will be returning often and hopefully writing a positive review for each time! read more

Nick and Jake's is a scratch kitchen and it shows. Everything I've had here is amazing. The French dip is piled high with the most generous portion of delicious prime rib. The Reuben has thick pieces of delicious corned beef. I have purchased a quart of the crab bisque - it's full of hand shelled fresh crab. It's impossible to have a favorite. The patio has good vibes at night with the fireplace. read more

Such amazing service. Decent menu. Good place to grab a snack or lunch or dinner and watch the games. I love their burgers and chicken sandwiches!! They also have really good seasonal desserts. This is one of my most visited places. read more

We've experienced brunch, happy hour and dinner here and all of our visits have been fantastic! Great customer service! The brunch spread was huge and everything was really good! When we visited for happy hour we sat at the bar and the bartenders were super friendly and outgoing and very attentive. The drinks were also great! I think that visit I got a pineapple mule. We were there last week for dinner and our server was a dream! She was the sweetest! We have two kids so any time we go and servers are accommodating and understanding, we are beyond appreciative. They provide complimentary kids plates before the meal is even ordered that have cheese its and fruit which is a huge help! The kids meals are actually pretty legit! They come with a good amount of food! I'm a vegetarian so the fact that they offer the Impossible burger and not some basic black bean burger is a major win! I added avocado to mine to make it even better. My husbands meaty burger was massive and he loved it lol. We did order dessert too, which she said was word of mouth, so she had to tell us our options and describe them to us. She did an amazing job listing them all off! I've gotten dessert of the Nick & Jake's in Parkville and their slices of cake there are OUTRAGEOUS! So I was kind of suprised that these slice were way smaller, or should I say a more appropriate portion size haha. But still, they were definitely two different variations of desserts. We couldn't be happier that western Shawnee now has a well rounded establishment that we now frequent! read more

My wife and I have been to this location several times over the past 6 months. We have had nothing but exception service and very good to excellent food. My favorite was a salmon they had for the lunch special. Unfortunately, it wasn't a regular item and I haven't seen it on the menu since. The rueben was the best I've found in a long time. On Tuesdays I love the Chicken Fried Chicken special. Delicious! The club sandwich was very good, but about the same you will find in other places. I find it especially comforting that they do not make you feel guilty for sharing a plate. In fact, they split it up for you in the kitchen. This is a service I would be happy to pay extra for since it is hard for us to eat a complete restaurant meal by ourselves. This has become our go to place after moving to the area this year. read more

After our first visit a few months ago I hadn't been back but last night my hubby and I went to dinner here with friends and I loved it. It seems they have worked out all the opening kinks. The service at the bar and at our table were fabulous. We shared the thai shrimp, it was delicious. For dinner I had the firecracker chicken salad which was huge and had a ton of meat on it and was so good. Hubby had an omg burger and other than the fries which he said were average at best he thought it was awesome. Friends split the chardonnay, it was huge with 3 pieces of chicken so definitely worth sharing and they loved it. I think this will become a regular haunt for us. read more

Just visited this place for the first time and it was excellent. The oriental salad was deLicious. The service was perfect. What a great addition to the area. read more

The inside is nice and service was fine. But the vibe and menu felt a little more geared towards older community. We had sandwiches and soup and it was under seasoned, uninspired and nothing special. There's too many other really nice spots in the area to try so we won't be back. read more

Great Service & good food!! Lunch was served quickly. Price was a little higher than other lunch places but it was worth it. Very welcoming atmosphere!! read more
