    House salad with Ranch & honey mustard dressing
    Foogie W.

    I don't know about you, but I'm always on the lookout for a great Philly Cheesesteak in the Midwest. Sad to say, the Pickin's are quite slim in my neck of the woods. I'm still trying to make it to Philadelphia to eat the best one there, but so far, I've only made it to Pittsburgh...oh, soooo close... The best I can do for my region of the planet is Sharks Restaurant and Billards. Upon the suggestion of an extended family member I rolled up to check it out. What a huge establishment with tons of space housing pool tables and big screen TV's everywhere! There is also a nice restaurant area and bar. Wow, what a treat! The server was chipper with a great personality. I ordered a regular Philly vs the spicy one and a house salad. The Philly was sooo good. The beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese were delightful! Omgudness, I've thought about it often since I left. The Lord willing, I've GOT to make it back for another one. The staff welcomed me and told me to come back. Other customers were friendly and one even jumped in a picture that was being taken of me. What could I say? I graciously let him in. The ambiance is fun and relaxing and a great date night spot. There were people shooting pool and I know some were regulars. Oh and the menu has quite a variety with daily specials. They have appetizers, comfort food as well as down-home cooked meals/dinners. What a delight! Want a great place to shoot pool or watch a sporting event with plenty of space and excellent food? Sharks Is The Place! Where have I been all of my life? So glad I gave them a try. My new Philly spot for sure...better late than never, huh?!

    The food here is good but my biggest complaint is when people reserve both areas for an event. We came here specifically to shoot darts but not allowed to since ALL of the dart boards are in both areas!! And what makes it worse is NO ONE is using those dart boards!! Why tf do you not put at least a couple of dart boards in another area in case you run into situations like this?! Fucking stupid af! Now we have to go to Side Pockets just to shoot darts.

    Appetizers....

    Shark's on Shawnee Mission is a huge entertainment center for all family members. Many pool tables, dart boards, foosball tables and televisions. Plenty of seating and space to enjoy Sunday football Pastrami sandwich and chicken wings were hot and tasty. House baked chips were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and table waitress by Kylie was exceptional. Great independently owned neighborhood business to support.

    Night out!

    I went here last night. It was a Saturday night at 10pm and they were super busy. My sister and I were there to shoot some pool. They did not have any openings when we got there so we ordered Chipotle flavored wings and drinks to wait for the crowd to die down. After an hour or so they were still full on the pool tables, so we decided to call it a night. I definitely would not recommend going on a weekend night because you would have to be aggressive enough to get a table (it's a first come, first serve style) otherwise you would probably be waiting for a while. Also, the girl's bathroom was filthy. The floor was really wet where you can actually slip and fall if you're not careful. We weren't sure if it was water or urine everywhere, which was a gross thought. I would definitely come on another night where it'll be less busy and cleaner. In the past, I've always had a good experience of being able to get a pool table within 30 minutes or so, even on a busy night, but this time wasn't the best experience.

Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!

    During our late December 2025 visit, a group of 10 of us went to Blind Box BBQ for dinner, and the…read moreservice was spectacular. We shared a variety of dishes, including nachos, sandwiches, and a few Rashee plates. My personal favorites were the ribs, cornbread, and collard greens. The nachos were perfect for sharing and disappeared quickly. The kids loved the mac and cheese and cornbread, while the guys couldn't get enough of the burnt ends. In general, I think BBQ is often freshest during lunch hours, but we still had a fantastic reunion dinner. The manager even stopped by our table to check on us and shared a bit of the restaurant's history, which was a nice touch. Our family had a great evening and a memorable meal!

    I have been itching to try this place for a long time. I was disappointed…read more Service - This is a tough one to rate. I saw many tables being taken care of by waiters, and even the store manager coming out and doing his part for those sitting at tables near ours. Our table, for some reason, was being covered by the bartender. He did stop by... but had a weird vibe of trying to be our buddy. He did not act or look like staff. But he did take the order and deliver the food. I think we are going to go with 3 stars. Ambiance - Well, the design is nice enough. There is no personality, and the building could be utilized for any kind of eatery with little to no changes. Normally, that would get a standard 3-star... dropping it to a 2-star in this case because this is to be a BBQ place... and the smell of smoked, roasted meat... is seriously missing. Food - Again, nothing wrong with it. In fact, the flavour of our sides was actually rather good. So 4 stars... except... Everything, as a side, either came from a tub or a frier. I began to be seriously suspicious of the BBQ, the sides, and the kitchen on mass. It is almost as if everything is preportioned somewhere else and just used a suvied, frier, or grill, to make it plate-ready. So we are gonna drop to 3-stars. I also noticed that they have whiskey, bottles, and cans. No taps. Though they do serve all drinks in a glass. The whole place gave me a vibe of a quick setup that they could pick up and leave at any time. To wrap this up... If this BBQ place were somewhere else, it would get rated rather high. But this is Kansas City. There is MUCH better BBQ, cheaper, just down the road... no, it doesn't matter which road. My honest opinion... this is a half-hearted attempt at a BBQ restaurant and more of a quickly tossed together venture to capitalize on area BBQ. Spend your money at a real BBQ place and let this chain go back to the areas that don't really know any better. (See Dickey's).
