    We were told about the Peanut. We read about the wings. People raved about it. Well, tonight we tried it. Wow!!! These are the best wings my wife and I have ever had! Buffalo wing perfection! We had them in Buffalo this summer and these wings are WAY better!! The Peanut burger was absolutely delicious!! Wow! Wing sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion and blue cheese crumbles. It goes so well with the wings!! The Triple BLT was outstanding!! We will be back for sure. Our amazing server, Madison, got us out on time for a concert. She works Tuesday and Sunday. Ask for her. She's brilliant! We loved the vibe here. They have booths, high tops and tables. The Peanut is epic!

    BIRD BOMB sandwich and cheesy fries!!!

    I know it's a Kansas City institution. However, this is NOT the original Peanut, and it never will be...to me, it will always be the Peanut in Kansas. The food is traditional bar fare with nothing too exciting on the menu. So, unless you're here for the famous wings, there isn't much to look at. If you are a visitor from out of town, then please take my advice and visit one of the other locations, either the OG on 51st and Main or the divest one downtown. Now, call me crazy but I'm a boneless wings girl, so the thought (and site) of full on (and I do mean FULL) chicken wings slathered in a neon red hued sauce isn't on my list of things to order. So, this Peanut at least has a larger menu than some of the other locations, meaning you can order sandwiches and such and aren't limited to wings and nachos. But, when in doubt, the nachos will always do and go great with a beer. My overall rating is lower for this location just because the history just isn't there. It isn't "divey" enough, it's just too clean (haha) but also, it's a lot more spacious than the other locations so it just doesn't feel intimate enough for a neighborhood bar. This Peanut is more family friendly, though, so if that's what you're into, then this might be the *restaurant* (notably not bar) for you.

    Local draft brews!

    I changed my rating from 4 to 5 based upon LOCATION! Most of my previous experiences occurred at the Metcalf location. The Peanut in Mission is LIT!!! So much fun! Big crowds, fun patrons, bulletproof waitresses, sparkling clean facilities(despite the size), makes this location stand apart from the others. And to top it all off their craft beer offerings, and their food coming out of the kitchen makes this the best sports bar in Kansas City

    I love the wings at the Peanut! I am so glad I discovered this location. It's much bigger and faster than the Main location. The Peanut on Main takes there phone off the hook. This Peanut was fast and awesome service.

    Visited the Peanut tonight for our book club meeting. Probably not the best choice for book discussion lol because this place was hoppin! Super busy, fun atmosphere. Definitely a good spot to hang out with friends and watch some sports on the many TVs throughout the business. We ordered several starters, mini corn dogs with honey mustard, delicious; friend pickles with ranch, even more delicious; and chips and queso. I ordered the taco salad for my main entree. It was good! A little spicy! I also ordered the apple aperol spritz, it was so good I had to have 2!

    Loved the environment, was the perfect place to have a group of friends out to have fun and watch a game! The service was phenomenal, our server was so nice and made sure we were taken care of! The appetizers were delish, my favorite were the fried pickles and mini corn dogs, love my fried food!

    Half order of Carnitas Nachos. Solid 4/5 stars.
    Amanda O.

    My name is Amanda and I review nachos. Order: Carnitas Nachos, Half Order Menu Description: Pulled pork, queso, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, black olives & queso fresco $15.00 full order; $11.50 half order. Style: Nacho pile Initial impressions: Generous sour cream dollop; dinner plate size portion; lots of sliced black olives. Didn't look like much. Flavor: Surprisingly flavorful! Certainly salt-forward, from the meat, olives, and cheese. The tomatoes were the only bit of freshness. The meat, which was allegedly carnitas, would be more aptly described as bbq style pulled pork without the bbq sauce. It was tender and delicious though. No real complaints there. The queso - classic orange cheese, rotel-style. If you're in the mood for nacho cheese, it hits the mark. I tend to prefer white cheese, espinaca style. Spice: Zero. The sad salsa has a tiny bit, but it's not particularly good. Texture: Chips are crisp enough to hold up to the first several minutes. They get deliciously soggy toward the end, and for some reason I love it. How to achieve the perfect bite: Take a chip from the edge that's half-covered with queso, and use a fork to meticulously extract a little bit of each ingredient on top. Fold in half, drool, indulge. Portion Size: A half order was about right for a high-hunger meal. tl;dr: As far as bar nachos go, these are a solid choice for a nice evening on the patio.

    Half dozen wings

    Wings were amazing as always. I hadn't been here in 20 years prior to this and will definitely be changing that.

It was such a beautiful day that we chose to sit on the patio, and our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely delightful. She was attentive, accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the sweet potato fries with the fluffy marshmallow dip, chicken-fried steak, bacon cheeseburger, pretzel sticks, funnel cake sticks, and ice cream. Everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed every bite! Unfortunately, I got so caught up enjoying the food and the game that I forgot to take pictures. If you're looking for a fun place to watch a game, grab a meal, or just hang out with friends, The Bar at Prairie Village is definitely worth checking out. Great atmosphere, excellent service, tasty food, and very reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back!

The food is good but the service makes me hesitant to be a frequent visitor.

My friend and I stopped in recently on a snowy day and the place was lively and the service was on point. I forgot they had curly fries which are indeed the most superior fry in the game so, that's a big plus for me. But, what really shone through was the Chicken Caesar Wrap, it was filling and fresh. I've been on the hunt for a standout Chicken Caesar Wrap ever since they really started trending online and this one hit most of the right marks. The grilled chicken wasn't rubbery and the ratio of protein to lettuce was on point. I enjoyed that the creamy tangy caesar dressing wasn't too plentiful, if it's overdone then the wrap becomes soggy. The only thing that would have upped the ante would have been if the tortilla was grilled because it was a tad gummy. Other than that this wrap checked all the boxes. The curly fries on the out hand were near perfection, seasoned just like one of my favorite fast food restaurants and crispy without being oily. The Bar is what its namesake says, it's a neighborhood joint that serves "bar food" nothing stuffy or fancy but, great drinking food...or if you're not drinking your loss...still, the American classics are done right and you shouldn't be disappointed if you order an appetizer, burger or wrap here.

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!
