    Very accommodating service. Good specials, had the hamburger nachos for $8. Potato skins were very hefty. Lettuce wraps were flavorful with a zesty sauce. Definitely bar ambiance with TVs galore. Great place to relax and watch a game. Bacon jam burger is a blast !

    Great place for a drink and food. The Bar has a neighborhood bar feel to it. The staff is excellent and attentive. Reasonable prices. Very crowded during NFL games so get here early.

    Taco Thursday at The Bar in Olathe (maybe?)
    Erica J.

    I recently visited The Bar in Olathe for 'Taco Thursday' though I'm now not finding any evidence of this being an ongoing occurrence online. I'm actually not even seeing tacos on their menu, so without a picture, I would have thought I made this up. I ordered off-the-menu black bean tacos / modified the tacos to be more 'vegan' and appreciate that the staff/kitchen was willing to do so. These were pretty good and as you'd expect tacos to be. With 5 locations across the KC area, The Bar is a good spot with a wide selection menu options.

    Sometimes when one thing is really bad, no matter how good other things are, it will never make up for that one bad thing. I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by and get some food, as it was next to the T-Mobile store I visited. Let me say, this place was packed on a Friday. It had an older, mostly male crowd, and most of the folks I saw there were more into their clique than mingling. What can you say, I'm a mingler. Whether I go to bars with a couple of friends or by myself (if I want to get out of the house), I like to talk to other folks. So, while the atmosphere was near raucous, it was also segregated to their groups, but I find that a bit of the KC atmosphere. If you want the "Cheers" experience when hitting your local bar, this is not for you, at least south of the 435. Anyway, what ruined any positive experience for me was the service. At best, my server seemed exasperated, at worst she was simply just rude. It was clearly the worst service I've experienced in KC. There were several things that made her the worst server. 1. She was very curt, with a condescending attitude and always ended what she said with a sigh, as if she did not like talking to people. 2. She was allergic to smiles....and strangely, making eye contact. 3. She would not stop at my table, even when dropping off food. She would plop the drink or food as if I were a stop and her bus did not stop at my table. I was actually glad that she stopped only a few times at my table as her attitude just got more on my nerves every time she rolled on by. As for the food, it was okay, but even if it were 5 stars (it's not), I will definitely not come back. I MUCH prefer the Other Place, which is just as busy...but with servers who actually want to be there.

    Service is good and friendly Place is clean Stopped in for some appetizers off the happy hour menu. Fried cheese curds were hot and delicious. Nachos were hot and queso was tasty with plenty of toppings. Will be back!

    Buffalo chicken wings and a Modelo.
    Carisa M.

    Great service and great food. We enjoy the music variety and the friendly people. The wings rival the well-known places and the sweet potato fries with the marshmallow sauce is a worthy dessert, I mean side! Karaoke nights are fun, too!

    Cool idea for a sports bar but service & food were meh! It's located in a huge empty strip mall…read morearea with few thousand parking spots & very little open businesses. The place is decorated really cool with a front patio & open garage door windows with cool lighting inside. Tons of TVs and a huge bar! The good stops there. The margarita was way too sweet but the canned Nutrl peach seltzer was good. The chips & salsa & queso took 25 minutes to come out, I figured they'd forgotten and almost wished i hadn't ordered them. The muscly bartender guy was nice enough but a big air head bc he forgot the guy's drinks beside me 2x... and it wasn't even busy, maybe 25 people in the whole place. Worst part was that they added 20% gratuity automatically but didn't tell me! I was ready to go & he took forever so I just handed him my card. He returned just the signature slip & I signed it but also asked for a copy for my expense report. Took 5 minutes for that & when I got it, I realized they added 20% gratuity, but yet the signature receipt didn't indicate that anywhere that tip was already added, so I accidentally tipped 50%! I didn't realize til I got back to my hotel & they didn't answer when I called back (it was 10pm). I was so mad, and when I called back the next day, the lady told me to call again around 4 & when I did, they didn't answer. Don't get fooled by this place -- check your receipts & don't bother with the food! And don't expect good service either.... OOOOOF.

    We live close to Talk of the Town and often go for the great Wednesday night burger deals!…read more You can get one of several options of their burgers for a really great price on burger night, I've gotten the one with blue cheese, the loosy goosey, the California, the one with pineapple, the one with egg. There's a lot of options and I've liked all of them. It also comes with a side but you can pay a little extra to upgrade to a different side. Some sides cost a bit more (like a loaded baked potato). You can get a burger with a regular side (like fries) for around $10. And it's a nice size burger and generous side. They are also really good at allowing customization. Many have no extra charge but you can add ingredients (like bacon to a burger that doesn't already have it) for a reasonable upcharge. That's really awesome! We get our burgers to go a lot. I do recommend you check your to go order. It's why I put 4 stars. Unfortunately, I think because they are busy, they forget ingredients and sides a lot. That's the only frustrating thing. You can get back home and realize all the toppings for your burger are missing. Just check your order before you leave. They are very nice about fixing it quickly. It isn't a big place for a sports bar. There's a decent amount of seating and then a bit outside too much if weather permits. It is a fun sports bar atmosphere if that's what you want. Several big TVs tuned to sports, a nice bar, and I noticed they had a few dart boards (electronic) on one wall but it looked like you could be pretty crammed in to that area to play. I'm not a big sports fan so it's not really my vibe but it's a great atmosphere for those who do. I imagine it could get a great party atmosphere during big games! I really enjoy their burger nights and getting a really good burger for a reasonable price. Everyone there seems very nice too. I'd definitely recommend trying them out especially on burger day!

Some of the dishes that I've had of the KC strip with green beans and baked potato. I do like their chicken tenders a lot as well with waffle fries. It has been a while, but I did try the French dip and I remember liking it. I feel like the price is pretty good for what you get as well. I typically get it to go and it's very easy to retrieve it yourself when you order it online. I find it very convenient to just run in there and grab your food. I've actually never eaten in, but I've gone to ask for my order before and they had to show me that I go in through a different door to pick up my carry out. When I was in there, the bar looked really busy. The vibe was fun and lively.

    We went to ofcourse for our wedding anniversary this year and had a fantastic experience! The…read morerestaurant has a very welcoming and modern decor and the menu consists of amazing comfort fusion dishes with Indian and western flavors which light your tastebuds on fire. For our drinks we orders 'Have a Cigar' and a low sugar mocktail they created for me. Both were made very well and were super refreshing. For our mains, we ordered, 'Black Cardamon Burnt ends', 'Tandoori Chicken' and 'Smash burger with peri peri fries' and for desert we ordered the parle g mango ice-cream' sandwich with some aromatic chai. My most favorite dish out of all were the burnt ends - they had a superb fusion flavor of Indian spices which went well with the meat and paired well with the grits. Trust me when i say this that i would eat this everyday for the rest of my life if i could. The smash burger and peri peri fries were excellent and definitely hit the spot. The real disappointed was with Tandoori chicken. I felt the chicken did not pair well with the sambar risotto and the fried okra even though it tasted good, was an after thought. The rice in the risotto was very grainy and undercooked. I told that to our server and they instantly apologized and acknowledged the issue and also proceeded to remove the dish from our bill. After that the chai was very warm and comforting and the parle g ice-cream biscuits were nostalgic and a great way to finish the meal. While not every dish was perfect, i love the excellent customer service they provided and the way the owner/manager/staff handled our feedback. I will be back to try more food here - 5/5.

    My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here a few weeks ago, and had a great experience!…read more We made a reservation for a Friday evening during primetime. We were seated on time at a table next to the bar-side of the dining room. Speaking of the dining room, it's a nice, if standard size for a strip-mall space, but I really appreciated that the tables were not stacked on top of each other, as seems to be the case at more and more places these days. It felt like there might be some chance of our entire conversation not being completely overheard by our neighbors, which was nice for a change! Our waitress was fantastic! She walked us through the menu, the restaurant's approach to cooking and seasonality, some of her faves, and made wonderful recommendations! We decided to split a few small plates, which was a great approach! We got to try about 1/3 of the small plate menu, and loved it all! It was all great, but the Black Cardamom Burnt Ends are NOT to be missed! It made my cardamom-loving, Midwest soul very, very happy indeed! The space is a really nice size - not massive or overwhelming - and with the shades drawn down (to seal out the late afternoon sun, thank goodness!) and dim lighting, the mood vibes were solid for a romantic anniversary dinner! The other ambiance item of note is that the restroom corridor smelled absolutely fantastic! Upon investigation, it was due to a burning candle from a lovely local-KC company that was custom made for the restaurant! Yes, they're for sale, and yes, we picked up two! While everything was lovely and the food was very good, you're definitely paying a high price for it. Not that it's not deserved, but the "value" feels aren't necessarily "off the charts", by any means. And that is really my only critique, if there is any at all! Food = 5/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance = 4/5 Value = 3/5
