    We visited on a Tuesday evening, so it wasn't super busy, which will be important in a moment. We ordered some nachos, southwest eggrolls, cheese curds, and a couple cocktails. Everything tasted great other than the nachos that were just okay. Now, the fact that it wasn't super busy plays HEAVILY into my rating. The wait staff checked on us once after the food was first delivered...and then I waited 25 minutes from when we finished eating until the wait staff came near our table again for us to flag them down to get the bill. I don't know how long we ate, but that 25 minutes was after we actually finished eating. I shouldn't have to wait that long to pay you for your services. Good food and drinks, could use better service.

    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?)

    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.

    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!

    Just came in for a couple beers. The bartender here is super efficient and asks your name/remembers it. Has to be 20 people around the bar and he still calls everyone by name. Impressive.

    Pickle fries- Worth $7 ? Disappointed to see each tiny spear was more than a $1.

    Decided to visit Brewbakers because I wanted a good lunch and a solid drink on this Saturday…read moreafternoon. I saw they had $4 vodka Red Bulls, and that solidified my want to come here even more. I didn't order an appetizer because I wanted to get straight to the food. I went with the Fried Clucker and a side of waffle fries. This sandwich was unbelievable huge..smothered in their house sauce, which tasted like a milder version of buffalo sauce. I thought the flavor was good, but the fried skin was falling off the chicken. Every time I cut a piece, the breading would just slide right off. Maybe they need to brine the chicken better to help it stick more but it was no biggie, it still had a good flavor. My boyfriend ordered the chicken-fried chicken, and honestly... nothing too special about it. The mashed potatoes that came with it were flavorless at first, but once we added salt and pepper, they were tasty. Now, I get that this is a bar and grill, so I'm not trying to be overly critical or nit-picky but in that category, Brewbakers definitely ranks on the higher end. This is hands down the best bar and grill I've tried when it comes to food. They even serve Jambalaya here.. what kind of bar and grill do you ever see serving this?? Would I come back? Of course! It is out of the way where i usually am, but im excited to come back and try other things off their menu.

    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.
