    SHRIMPIN AINT' EASY
    Linda O.

    Went for brunch. Love all the creative names for their plates. Atmosphere is casual relaxed. I had the Shrimping ain't easy skillet. I was a bit disappointed because the whole dish was extremely greasy. I could not even find the cheddar cheese grits in the skillet. There was very little , little sized shrimps. It was heavy on the peppers and pork belly which maybe the reason it was overly greasy. Even the base hash browns were greasy. I would not recommend this dish. My hubs got the build your own plate which had generous portions just nothing outstanding taste wise. Our food came out super fast which maybe precooked. Our server was friendly.

    Shack could be sooooo much better, and given that they have great spot in a great location, one would hope that they would improve. The space is amazing, from the living graffiti walls to the decor to the higher ceilings. There is plenty of seating, including the bar area, and even a wait time is not uncomfortable. Even with a great space, the service staff seems to be disorganized in the front part of the house. I can't put my finger on it, but it is almost as if they struggle to have a host function or even a host. But you're here for the food, and the menu is really strong. Breakfast options galore, some decent lunch options, and a strong bar menu makes for a great lineup. But the food does not stand out and it doesn't seem to have been made to my order. That's fine if I'm ordering at a fast food drive-thru; if I'm seated, then I want my order to be made correctly and served in a timely fashion. And I am FAR from *that* guy, generally not one to raise a fuss. Maybe I should, but I won't. Just know that I liked Shack once upon a time and it seems to have slipped. SW JoCo has plenty of customers with free time and healthy wallets, so my three stars is more my way of being generous and hopeful than a true reflection of my experience.

    First time customer while visiting the area and I loved this place. The atmosphere is very cute and interesting. The menu is soooooo funny and interesting with great names for all the items. There is a great variety from which to choose. I ordered the sandwich that had a pretzel bun, two eggs cooked your way, bacon, avocado, salsa, cheese and garlic aioli. I can't remember the name but it was a funny one. We didn't wait long and our food arrived. Mine wasn't very hot, but the flavors together were very good. I really liked my choice. Service was ok. I did like the fact that they gave us a whole pot of coffee so we didn't have to wait for refills.

    Great place in Lenexa for lunch or breakfast. Their service is super fast & food excellent. Bring a pencil to graffiti the wall!

    BIG A#! BURRITO

    The ambiance is fun but busy and the regular menu is HUGE. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burrito. As a celiac I was very excited for the dedicated gluten free menu but was a little bummed as it was a lot of eggs (which is bad for many celiacs too). The gluten free lunch menu looked delicious but was not served on the weekend. Great service though and fun spot.

    Tasty breakfast and I loved all of the options. In fact, it was pretty impossible to decide on just one thing!! I landed on the protein bowl, packed with quinoa, eggs, avocado and smoked turkey. Delicious!! The egg was cooked to order - a nice touch. This is an excellent restaurant for a leisurely brunch. One thing I didn't like was the temperature. It was so cold while we were there that my fingertips turned blue.

    If I could put 10 stars I would!!! First things first, this 80's girl LOVED the music and the menu vibe. Such great names for every item. I ordered breakfast after taking 20 minutes to decide. I definitely need to come back to try more things. I'm still dancing in my seat to the music- thanks for the great meal and the

    We had forgotten just how good Shack is for breakfast. Our daughter was in town from Chicago and wanted to have a great breakfast. I had the breakfast tacos (pork belly) and they were amazing. My wife had the Nashville Hot Chicken and loved it. Our daughter ordered the biscuits and gravy and said they were fantastic. Our waitress (Mercedes) was very busy, but she was attentive and checked in on us frequently to make sure our breakfast was to our liking. We did enjoy reading all the "Crayon Graffiti" on the walls. It's a cool way for kids and kids at heart to further enjoy the experience. We won't wait so long between visits! Definitely a great place for breakfast.

    I could spend the day just reading the menu! This is such a lay back yet creative place! The wait staff really seem to enjoy their jobs and the food is delish! If you're looking for g for a fun new restaurant, this is the place for you! We like the "I almost made it to Denver" omelette and the "Do it your way Meg Ryan"!

    We love grabbing a work lunch here. Our server Sheree was great! I love that they have a large GF menu- so many choices. Their menu has fun and funny names for dishes. It's a super fun atmosphere where people have signed every surface they could possibly sign.

    Spicy About Mary
    Audrey L.

    Visiting Kansas and had to stop by Shack. I recommend ordering the Gringo Killer, Starchy & Cluck, and Spicy About Mary. The Gringo Killer has a nice spice kick and the Starchy & Cluck was both savory and sweet. I would've loved more of the aioli within the waffles of the Starchy & Cluck. The Spicy About Mary has such a great zesty and spicy peppery flavor. I love the Zing Zang mix. The service was prompt and attentive. The location is kinda tucked away, wish more people knew about this location. Give this location a visit!

    We sat at the bar. The bartender was great, friendly and attentive! Mimosas and bloody Mary's were both good. Food was served fresh exactly as ordered! It wasn't too busy when we were there but I know it can be. They do have a waitlist you can join online ahead of time. Cute restaurant with fun wooden walls with customers signatures on them.

    Nice little breakfast, brunch and lunch place. Nothing out of this world, but food was tasty enough. I ordered the Jersey Hash--wanted extra crispy hash browns, but given the nature of sausage gravy, even if they were at one time crunchy, they were not when they arrived. Since I was celebrating a birthday I ordered the Shack and Eddy Kissing in a Tree. Whoo! Three different alcohols you'd think it would be kinda gross and with the added floral scent of the Elderflower liqueur might be a turnoff--surprisingly tasty! Our waitress was great; helpful and patient. I'd go back to try other options.

    The food was good and the service was pretty mid. Their drinks aren't the best, but they're ok. Overall, it's pretty average.

    This place is a beautiful and gorgeous venue for a wedding and reception. My wife and I just got…read moremarried there a little over a week ago and we were nothing but pleased with how everything looked. Due to the natural beauty of the barns interior, we didn't have to do a lot of decorating. We couldn't have been happier choosing this location for a new chapter in our lives. They also allow your own vendors for your event which is now to have that flexibility. There are few requirements that differ from other venues as this place is a registered historical site, but they are nothing major or very costly that makes or breaks your event. As a heads up, this place is rented out hourly so it's challenging to decorate for a wedding the same day of the event, but it can be done! We highly recommend this place!

    Our son recently held his eclectic wedding at this venue which is a beautiful mix of a historical,…read moreGerman brick barn updated to today's standards of comfort and technology. The facility offers meeting and wedding space for up to 200ppl and can be booked through the City of Lenexa which keeps the cost affordable.We booked the wedding on a Friday evening which saved even more costs. Saturday weddings book a year out so you'll need to contact them early or camp out to book a spot with the City. Many images can be googled online to show you the facility's offerings. We didn't need to do much for decor as the facility is so clean and classy with brick walls, exposed beam ceiling in the main hall, a full kitchen, meeting rooms for the wedding party to get ready etc. An outdoor courtyard can be used for the ceremony also although it's along I-35 for traffic noise. We did experience problems with the set up, AV equipment and evening staffing but these issues were addressed satisfactorily when we brought them up to management. We'd definitely recommend this air conditioned barn to any bride and groom.

We looked at over a dozen venues in the Kansas City area and just knew from the moment we walked in that this was THE space. It is truly a Kansas City gem with wood flooring, high beams with Edison bulbs, brick walls, and beautiful staircases. A huge standout for us was they only have one event per weekend, so we had the space from Friday (when we moved all of our necessities in) to 4:00 on Sunday ( when we moved back out). The wedding party truly enjoyed preparing with hair, make-up, and wardrobe on the gorgeous third floor, the cocktail hour was on the first level, and dinner and dance were on the second level. Everything was perfect. When you book the Oliver, you get the peace of mind of the owner Steve and the event coordinator Caitlin. We met with Caitlin on multiple occasions and she was amazing. They have a great bartending staff, parking attendants, and security guards, and a great working rapport with many local vendors. If I had to touch on any drawbacks, it would just be the gravel parking lots, which can be a bit of a challenge with ladies in heels or elderly persons. We were a little concerned with it being haunted house season but this was not an issue at all. Overall, we could not be more thrilled with our experience and I would give it more stars if I could! An absolute ten out of ten!
