Sometimes a bar should just be a bar. A true dive bar in heart the downtown. It kinda reminded me of Chubby's but dimmer lighting. The bar area had seeming holiday type decorations around the bar seating area. The ceiling has beer brand signs. The local bar which has pictures of patrons, possibly regulars in collages framed on the wall. Meet up for lunch. Both waitresses were excellent. I ordered a burger & fries. It was a decent burger and fries. read more

Hole in the wall dining place close to 17th & McGee. Feels like you're sitting in a basement. It happens to be FIFA soccer match night here in KansasCity. Younger crowd here watching the game. Our waitress recommended the Cuban sandwich. Food was good. Fast service. read more

I'll leave another review once i've gone inside the place (because I definitely plan on coming back) but from what I experienced from the outside seating and service, I was pretty impressed! The cover to get in and see the live music was $10 which felt a little high for a mid-day stop (however considering the world cup, I guess I can understand). We had jalapeño poppers as an appetizer which were pretty good - no complaints, but not over the moon about them. I indulged on the brick burger which was cooked to perfection and elevated even more by the fries, cut and cooked just the way I like them: thin and crispy. I'm pretty picky when it comes to ranch, and i'd give it a 7/10. Better than store bought for sure. We all got domestic beers but one person at the table got the Hot To Go cocktail, which was refreshing and delicious. read more

We had to check out of hotel 7 hours before our flight and needed a place to post up that was open at 11AM. The Brick delivered. The interior is essentially a perfect dive bar. Rugged interior, unique art adorning the walls, skating rink-style furniture filling the dining area -- awesome vibe. They have a solid selection of liquor and beer. We may or may not have indulged before noon on a Monday... Food wise, it's slightly above average bar food. This isn't a knock as if it was any better it wouldn't make sense for a dive bar. Most of us went with the meatloaf sandwich, which Guy Fieri supposedly featured on an episode of DDD. It was commendable, but nothing insanely good. If I lived near here I'd definitely explore the menu a bit as they seem to offer quite a bit. Huge shout out to the staff here. We actually arrived 15 minutes before opening and they were kind enough to let us sit down and gave us a spot on the music stage to store our bags. I bet this place is a lot of fun on a show night. read more

The owner was serving us that evening and was gladly attentive. The vibe of the place was also very laid back and welcoming. This is definitely a spot to take friends to just eat and hang out. The menu is creative but has something for everyone. I got the Sriracha bacon burger and my wife got the vegan burger. She loved hers and it was great on her stomach. The burger for me was a 10/10. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Nice atmosphere and not what I expected based on the looks of the front door. Kinda reminded me of a speakeasy of sorts. Decent beer selection. Food was mediocre. Fried pickles were tasty, but super greasy. Patty melt was OK. The patty was really thin and definitely not the star of the dish. The rye bread was nice. That's about it. The tater tots were way overcooked and so greasy. If greasy food is your type of thing, then you'll likely find the food appealing. I would still go for beer!! read more

The Brick - The Chicago dog - American Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is a little hole in the wall place. It has a great atmosphere with a stage towards the front. My drink came and was super tasty. It was a mule but the pear added just the right touch. The spinach and feta dip was creamy and fully loaded with goodness. The Oklahoma hotdog was beyond anything I could have comprehended. I thought it was going to be like a corndog but that description isn't even close. It was crispy with so much flavor. My girlfriend said the Pubby burger was cooked perfectly and she really enjoyed the sweet potato fries. Our waitress was super friendly with great timing. She allowed us the time we needed to make all of our decisions. She kept our drinks filled and our table cleared. read more

Today was not the first time I've been to or eaten at The Brick, however, it was the first time I've had Brickfast and it was delish! The hubs got coffee, standard, no flash, cream & sugar; I got a hermosa with Boulevard Wheat and orange juice. More beer than juice, which for the venue, is expected and welcome! We started by dipping our toes into them Disco Fries (sans green onion) and a Cinnamon Roll. Both were delightful but I do wish the cinnamon roll had been a little more...gooey? For entrees he got the Country Boy - we knew from previous visits that they have great Chicken Fried Steak - and I got The Firebird. Both were delicious and exactly what we expected. Service was fast, friendly and we got everything we needed quick and without asking twice. Although it was a busy & bustling morning, we got a nice seat in the back to people watch and hear each other without yelling, ha! We love the Brick - it's a treasure and I always think "we don't come here enough" every time we stop in! The artwork and seating is lowkey but unique and it just feels comfy and cozy but in no way pretentious. Get yourself down for dinner, lunch or Brickfast sometime!!! And go support the local music scene, it's more important now than it ever has been! read more

This is one of many DDD joints in Kansas City, which I really didn't know was on the TV show until I went in... I selected The Brick for lunch on the day I went as a result of all the positive reviews. I've pretty uch given up on trying to find DDD joints to visit when I travel (as I travel for work a LOT!!) because so many are either stuck on their being on the show or have gone out of business since (also as a result of being big-headed from being on the show)... so, I've found it to be the kiss of death for those who don't know how to properly manage their business. But not here!!! Sherry, who owns this business, is so very friendly and amazing! She comes up with all the items on the menu herself, which is incredible, as she's also busy running the front of the house of her business. The day I went, they were moderately busy for late lunch. No bands were playing, but they have a stage and bands play often here. The menu is loaded with interesting, original dishes she's come up with. I had a hard time deciding, so while sitting at the bar, where she was working/serving, I asked her what's good and when she said the meatloaf sandwich, I went for it, not realizing it was also featured on DDD. I started with a cup of chili and I loved that when I asked for it, she countered by asking how I wanted it topped! I chose jalapeños - yum! The chili was flavorful, with more than one style of bean and loaded with plenty peppers - yum!! The meatloaf sandwich was incredible! The meatloaf was soft, flavorful, and perfectly put together to be sturdy without hard or tough. Incredible flavor and texture, which seem to be the tough part about making the perfect meatloaf. And the bread it was on was incredible! Overall - loved it! I also got their double-beer battered onion rings as a side and those were awesome! Nice sweet onions inside with a great, not to tough batter on the outside! Overall, great service, great menu, great execution... This is truly a place that deserves the 5 stars they are getting. She's doing it right and I hope she continues to be successful! I'll definitely visit when in town again! read more

My friend and I went to The Brick for lunch today, sat at the bar. Before we could get our menus, a cockroach walked across the bar in front of us. Poor bartender saw the roach and disposed of it, we opted to dine elsewhere. If there was a cockroach ON the BAR, I'd hate to see the kitchen. read more

The brick is located slightly off main Street in the crossroads. Parking wasn't too bad and there are a ton of nice bars around to stop at after your meal. The brick feels like a welcoming, even homey, dive bar. The decor was spot on and made you feel instantly at ease (in my opinion). The server was so friendly and attentive, even after we waited about 45 minutes to order for some friends to arrive. I absolutely love that this spot has so many reasonably priced options that can be made vegan or vegetarian. I went for the vegetarian meatloaf sandwich which is made in-house. The flavor was well seasoned, although I did wish the chipotle ketchup stood out a bit more. The meatloaf texture was a bit soft - but honestly it was a great vegetarian option. As someone who hasn't had meatloaf in years, this scratched the itch for me. The sides are good as well, the tots were cooked perfectly. They also had a ton of tasty local beers to try which I appreciated. Will definitely be back here to enjoy more of their menu! A nice gem for Kansas City to have. read more

Quirky dive bar vibes. We arrived less than an hour before closing time, but the staff was super welcoming and provided great service. That was an instant standou. I Dont make it a practice of arriving within an hour of closing time, but when I have, the service team has been less than friendly (which I understand). We ordered drinks and wings, both of which came out quickly. I had the hot wings and my colleague got the sims wings. Both were flavorful. Not particularly spicy, but very good! read more

The Brick is good description for this one. Brick outside, more brick inside. Graffiti covers the walls. The bar area is charming. Our server was gracious and attentive. I had the Pubby burger. It was tasty. The fries are hand cut in the kitchen and definitely did not taste frozen. Local bands play on Friday and Saturday evenings. Starting at 10pm. The server said the meatloaf sandwich is very good. I would go back to try it. I wish there was more space on the bricks to leave a personal message. Good place to take someone out of town to experience one. read more

Amazing people! Amazing service! I love the eclectic decor of the bar/ restaurant. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. My husband had the meatloaf sandwich's coleslaw. I took a bite of his meatloaf and I have only had that great of meatloaf one other place: homemade. I had the Naked Turkey Bella. They have SO MANY options for people with dietary restrictions/ preferences. I wish more people were as accommodating. And it was amazing. I have never been fond of cottage cheese, but mixed with balsamic vinaigrette on a side salad is a game changer for me! I'm so glad we tried this place! read more

Ok, one day I was working in the midtown area of KC. It was lunchtime and I was in the mood for a veggie burger. I know, right? Anyway, I Googled "veggie burger nearby" and this place popped up. I checked the menu and they had a veggie burgers and a couple of good reviews, so I headed over. First impression, typical little neighbor bar. Clean, nice smells in the air diverse dining crowd. I sat and a very helpful waiter brought me hot coffee and ice water on request. Now remember, I came in for a veggie burger. There is a veggie burger on the menu, and a note that any of the specialty burgers can be made with a veggie patty. Flexible! More interesting was they have a meatloaf sandwich on the menu. I love meatloaf sandwiches. At the bottom of the meatloaf sandwich there was a note "veggie version also available". I ordered the veggie meatloaf sandwich and it was really good. I also liked the sweet potato fries on the side. I liked it enough that I've been back several times since, alone, or with family members, with work colleagues, and once with a client. A couple of side notes about the menu. I have since had the veggie burger and it's really good. Definitely provides a full burger experience without the grilled flesh. The surprising item on the menu was veggie dogs. I've tried veggie dogs from the grocery store and have yet to be impressed. The veggie dogs here are really good. Try it, you'll like it! It's casual dining, and a friendly neighborhood place. read more

Arrived in KC from the eastern time zone so it was lunchtime in our heads but still too early for most of the local places to be open. We stumbled upon The Brick because it was the only place in the area open at 10am. Sure glad we found it! It's a cross between a bar and a diner - and if you're looking for either, I recommend this place. Good home cooked food and prompt, friendly service. Wife had the deep-fried Oklahoma dog and I went with the meatloaf sandwich. She had onion rings and I stuck with fries. All good choices! read more

Before The Brick was The Pub. An old school blue collar watering hole and kitchen that I had the pleasure of visiting in the mid 1980's. This was my late uncle's favorite haunt when getting off work at The KC Star across the street during the 60's and 70's. The Brick honors what came before with The Pubby Burger; "served at this location since 1967" and on Wednesday's the price is only $7. I'm here to proclaim that the blue cheese, bacon burger topped with an onion rings and a side of tots or fries included is the best damn burger bargain in KC! I've been in The Brick quite a few times this century, yet not since Covid; and a lot has changed since it was The Pub. The place has become a first rate live music club and bohemian mecca. The decor and featured art on the walls is always hip and the Saturday morning biscuit and gravy bar is one of a kind. Thanks to The Brick for not only preserving a bit of the past but even making it better! That's very rare. read more

My husband has been here before but this was my first visit. This is a fun friendly dive bar in the Crossroads district. Fair warning, parking can get tricky. They have live music, poetry readings and story telling; Tuesdays - Saturdays (times vary). They serve local beers and drinks. The majority of the food is also local and made to order. We started with the Fried Ravioli with marinara sauce. Both of which were very tasty. We both ordered a burger with fries. My husband ordered the Sriracha Bacon Burger. He said that it is truly for a sriracha lover. The patty was thick and juicy and has the heat promised by the aioli and pepperjack cheese. I had the Pubby Burger, again the patty was thick and juicy. Normally this is topped with blue cheese, but I was able to switch the blue cheese for pepperjack. The staff was very friendly and helpful and substitutions can be made on almost all of the menu. They have a menu for almost everyone. So many different options and flavors. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu and possibly some live entertainment. read more
