Three times I tried Unforked before writing. I will continue to go, but boy have I been through it all with them already. It showed me to never go to a new restaurant the first month of opening, but that is also one of my points; a restaurant like this should have had a good week of prep and training before opening but I found myself watching a full-on meltdown one night at dinner hour. I eat alone a lot so I was disappointed the drive through was not open yet (and by the way, a REALLY COOL drive-thru.) * The salad and taco I wanted were sold out already. (7:30 pm) * A huge pet peeve of mine (especially in the food industry!): The young lady behind the counter, taking my order and my money had chewed off purple nail polish. Not only bad grooming, but bad management to not teach her to fix such a thing. * I waited nearly 23 minutes for my carryout. When it came, it was prepared for dining in. * They forgot to make the salad. * The "chipz" are described as: 'a house-made blend of thin-cut white corn tortillas, fresh taro and plantain chips' when I opened the box, they looked like a handful of regular, tortilla chips out of a bag. When I asked about the special taro and plantain chips, the server said, "Oh were out of those." So went my first visit.... but, (other than the chips) the food was fresh and tasty. The meat was a little under-seasoned but I knew I would be back. Visit 2: Four days later, I returned and ended up waiting another 25 minutes for my carryout. When they checked, it was never forwarded to the kitchen computer. So they apologized all over the place and had to say, "Everything was running really well tonight until this!" When they remade my order my desired corn tortillas were flour instead and when they remade my lavender-lemonade fresca, I realized they gave me a regular lemonade the first time! The ingredients in my Slow Spin Salad were excellent but ruined by being overly drenched in cranberry dressing although the Crispy Avocado Taco is my new favorite. Because of my bad service I was given a free meal git card. Visit 3: I decided to eat-in and see if things would go faster. When I tried to use my gift card, it would not read at the computer and I had to wait and wait for them to figure out the problem. By the time I got my drink and sat down the food was miraculously at my table! I ordered the Thai Salad and at first bite I said, "Oh wow!" It was really good despite the not-quite-ripe mango. A long review I know, but with such a nearly flawless concept, groovy interior and innovative menu these little details have to be fixed soon for a perfect place to eat! No question, I will return at least once a week. Fresh, innovative and healthy tasting (sometimes) fast food. read more

Great selection of regular menu items (burgers, fries, tacos, etc.) only they all have a unique and tasty spin to them that makes them intriguing and fun to try. Take their chips for example... they have the regular corn chips but they are served up with fried plantain and taro chips as well. Couple that with their dipping sauces and you have a recipe for a real winner. Keep looking over their menu and you'll continually find new things to try *(even the water!). My personal favorite is their 'barking pig taco.' Pulled pork, crisped up with a sweetened bacon glaze served on your choice of tortilla. SO TASTY! read more

Great food & a really nice staff. I like the ease of ordering and the options that you can get. I'm a big fan of a good meal, & Sheridan's Unforked definitely did not disappoint! It's a great place to grab a quick bite to eat with friends when you're in the area. I live downtown, & will make intentional trips out to OP just to eat here! No need to dig for a reason to visit Unforked, the food alone is reason enough. read more

Unforked - Burgers Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Really enjoyed the unique tacos and yummy fries here. The crispy avocado taco is surprisingly fresh and the bacon wrapped pickle on the KC Q taco is a whimsical touch. I only have two complaints: 1. This place has all the atmosphere of a fancy McDonald's. It was loud and full of running and screaming children. 2. I ordered my tacos on corn tortillas, and my dining companion ordered wheat. My taco toppings had to be put on two corn tortillas. I thought this was weird. If your corn tortillas can't support your taco toppings, maybe you should reevaluate how you make the tortillas. Overall, I thought the food was fun and I look forward to a return visit so I can try some more items. read more

I was not too impressed with Sheridan's Unforked. I liked the idea behind it, and their menu looked pretty good, but once arriving and trying their food...it was just okay. Honestly I can't even remember what I ordered, which means it wasn't good enough to remember. I do remember the service, however, which was dismal. We ordered chips and salsa, and when it arrived we were surprised at the lack of salsa we received. It was a couple of tablespoons, maybe. We are big salsa eaters, so I went to go get more. Of course, I had to pay for additional salsa, but c'mon, give me more!!! I then waited around 10 minutes for any to arrive, and had to eventually go ask one of the kitchen staff who went and got it for me. Looking over their menu again, I think I would go for a burger if I had to return, but that's not too likely. Whatever tacos I ordered lacked flavor and variety. I will give them points for their fruit infused water, though. Every restaurant should do this! read more

This place I love, love, love. Their tacos are yummilicious!!! My husband and I have been here around 3 times already and we like coming back. Let's see....we've had pretty much all the tacos on the menu. I think our FAVE is the barking pig. Everyone should try it. It is soooo dang good. The Fundido Fries are good but I wished they put more queso and bacon. mmmm....bacon. dang...i'm kinda salivating right now. gonna have to plan another trip to unforked. Oh!!!!!! I can't forget their desserts. Love it. We've had their winter special....egg nog shake and the peppermint fudge concrete turned shake. Both heavenly!!! My husband had their I DO concrete, which is the vanilla custard with pieces of wedding cake mixed in.......YUM YUM YUMMERS!!!! Please go and enjoy!!!! read more

This place was pretty good! The food had a creative spin on traditional foods. Kind of like an American-TexMex-French Fusion if you can imagine that. If not, well then, sorry, I tried. The only thing I didn't like about this place is they ran out of the salad that I really wanted to try! C'mon yall stay stocked! Recommended. read more

This place really has gone down hill. I used to love it. It used to be a great place. Tonight the place was filthy. Every table had left behind food and the restrooms smelled awful. I hate what has happened here. The food hasn't been consistent either. It's either fabulous or awful. It used to be awesome. Consistency is awful. It used to be a great place to eat. Then something changed. Please fix this. Run, from this place. read more

Barking Pig tacos all day long! You cannot eat here without devouring at least 1 of those babies. You get to choose from a corn or flour tortilla and it's filled with carnitas, bacon, scallions & queso fresco. The carnitas are so juicy and just melts in your mouth. Muy bueno! I've tried most of their tacos, but besides the BP, the only other one I like is the Crispy Avocado taco (lightly fried avocados topped with micro greens & pico). It's a hit or miss though. Sometimes it can be a bit soggy. But when it's fresh, it's delicious. The fries are okay, but I usually get the chips and guac. The portions are big enough to share. They also include some taro chip with the tortilla chips. You can also get sauces to go with your chips, but I have found that the guac is the best choice. I haven't had a chance to try the quesadillas or burgers yet. I can't seem to ever stray from the tacos! Not only is their food good, but they have all the gloriousness of Sheridan's Frozen Custard. My favs are the I Do Concrete (vanilla w/ a piece of wedding cake mixed in) and the Toasted Marshmallow Shake. Yum! They also have $1 KC Pils drafts. I think they're 7oz. Very small, but the secret is to order two :). Don't bother stopping in or going through the drive-thru if you're in a hurry though. It's probably the slowest drive-thru I've ever been through. But, if you have the time, it's worth the wait for the Barking Pig! read more

Wanted to update my earlier review and confirm that this restaurant is a very good choice! Going back, I've enjoyed reading the negative reviews here for grins. One patron said "the bacon was just too crisp" -- that's something I've honestly never experienced. Another customer said the food was bland and they would rather go over to "a named burrito place across the street" to get something with flavor. Well, I suppose they can do that if they want but to say that "they" have flavor and Unforked doesn't is, to me, an indicator of someone to ignore. I've never had a bite at Unforked that wasn't bursting with amazing flavor. I will go there any time. read more

We've been going since Unforked opened. Our kids love it, and I've found the tacos to be pretty good. The OJ is the fav with the kids. We've had good food and service; nothing that would warrant some of the other reviews posted. read more

Deep sigh. I wanted to love this place and gave them two shots. The first time, my pure burger came with mayo (though I ordered it without). They were quick to fix the mistake, but the burger was wet and sloppy. They hadn't drained the lettuce and it was just a mess. Because I really love fresh, local food, we gave them a second shot today. This time we went through the drive through which took an (understandably) long time. What happened when I got home? My ahi tacos had completely leaked onto my leather seats because they were poorly wrapped (and, again, insanely sloppy) and they gave me a Barking Pig instead of a BFF taco. I don't eat pork so it pretty much tainted the whole meal and my BRAND new leather seats got a taco bath. We're done. read more

This was a really fun experience! It was our first of a many future visits! The food was extremely fair price for the amount and quality of the dishes. I was a little surprised at how small the menu was, yet it was not lacking in variety. We stopped in for dinner about 530 on a weekday and ordered a barking pig, tilapia tango, ma-labello with a side of cheese fries and a raspberry . We set down in the open dining room, the ambiance was very inviting. It became a little noisy as the dinner crowd was arriving, but never too loud. Our food was ready in about ten minutes, hot and fresh. Altho it seemed the cheese fries had been out under the warmer for a little while. Our raspberry yogi wonderfully surprised us by how fresh and tasty it was, AND MADE WITH SO MUCH REAL FRUIT! read more

*UPDATED* Food is always prepared very well. Love the seasonal menu offerings. Also love the ability to custom make and combine items from the menu. Pro tip: add a patty and extra cheddar to the BLT for something even more amazing! For a modern burger and shake place, the menu is next level. The food is great, the desserts are delectable. Try the custard without anything on it and you'll see the level of quality. Every taco was flavorful and a good combo of ingredients. The margaritas are zippy and potent. Burgers feel really classic, go for the double Pure with cheese and all the fixings. read more

Great flavors, small portion size options, good atmosphere, decent prices, slow service. Great for a casual night out with friends. read more

Not very expensive, food wasn't too inspiring but the custard is really good The cashier seemed to not quite have it all together.

Reading reviews beforehand always helps me to temper expectation on places like this. I was going hopeful that the food quality and taste would far surpass the price tag people seemed to be concerned about. The menu is somewhat odd since there are 2 separate menus, one for the food and one for their iced novelties. It took us several minutes to determine what we wanted. My wife ordered a burger, I ordered tacos. I expected the tacos to be that: tacoS (more than 1). The price tag was steep at about 4.50 PER taco. Yikes. It wasn't clear to me that each order only included one. This seems unreasonable for this price. My wife liked the burger a lot. They use some special meat, it's not Kobe but some better quality meat than average ground round or chuck. I ordered 3 tacos (again thinking I was getting like 6). The tacos were good (not great). The meat was tender and flavorful. All 3 were beef, one of them was the Unforked rendition of KC BBQ, it was pretty good. To sum up, I liked their food, but won't return because of the steep price. Port Fonda is a waaaaay better option for some blow your mind tacos and you can easily find better burgers. Staff: meh Atmosphere: looked cool read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The BFF and Cali are Two of the best tacos anywhere. Great lunch spot. read more

I've been to Overland Park quite a few times in the past 18 months or so and this is the first time I've seen this restaurant. I stopped in on my lunch break from work and beat the lunch rush. Ordering is fairly easy. My one gripe is that there's nothing over the counter with the menu, you have to find one before you go up to the register. For a place where you're ordering and paying up front, I kind of expect something with a bulk of the menu hung up. Anyways, I got the buffalo chili and the K fries to go. I waited maybe 5 minutes top for my food to come out and was able to get on my way fairly quickly. The chili was good especially since I normally don't expect chili and BBQ to go together. The fries remind me of the skinny county fair fries you always get. Pricing was fair and it's all locally based food so I'd go again read more

I finally was in the area yesterday so I stopped by unforked for lunch. I have to say that I really like the idea of using natural foods from local farmers, but sadly this is the only positive thing I have to say about my visit. I ordered two tacos, the crispy avacado and the crispy citrus chicken. the crispy avacado was a pretty unique taco. the avacado part was good but everything else was bland. The crispy citrus chicken taco looked like it was going to taste great, but also was very bland. The chicken tasted as if they ordered sweet and sour chicken from a cheap chinese restaurant and used the chicken in their taco. I love mexican food and I must say that chinese food does not mix well with mexican at all! Overall, I rate unforked two stars because as I said, I really like natural foods and supporting local farms. I won't be trying any tacos from unforked again, but I do plan to return soon and try a burger. I will update my review when I do. read more

Okay I love this place but I'm giving it a one star for one reason - stop charging for water!!!! Just build it into the price of the food and no one will know. Viola! It pisses me off every time I come here and I'm finally making it known to the public! read more

Unforked - Burgers Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

It took me a couple goes at it , but I love this place. Mostly because it is healthy, local, fast (ish) food. I am neurotic and read the nutritional facts online and there are 2 options I go there multiple times a week for for under 400 calories. I don't eat red meat and they have a portabella burger that would bring a meat eater to their knees. It is juicy and smoky and delicious. I am also a huge fan of the veggie quesadilla. Made with loads of fresh veggies that are grilled and full of flavor and all under 300 calories! They have wine and beer which satisfies the lush in me, and a cute patio I love in the summer. I just wish the tacos were bigger and honestly , better. Other then that super cute interior and great food and service. read more

Oooooooooh my gosh. Only had time for a quick lunch so opted for the drive-thru and got a Barking Pig taco and a honey limeade fresca for 7 bucks. The smell seeping through the to-go bag as I drove back to school was pure torture. People even commented on the enticing aroma when I walked into the room. I was so impressed with the taco, I underwent an inner struggle over what I could say Post-First Bite: "You have GOT to taste this!" or "If I catch you even eying my taco, you will be very, very sorry." The ingredients were fresh and the flavors mingled so well. I order carnitas tacos almost everywhere I go that has them, and Sheridan's win by leaps and bounds. The pork is so tender and has a slightly sweet flavor which I loved. It was super oily but I scarfed it down in record time, and my tummy was full and happy after just one. Would not get the Fresca again... a little too sweet and I didn't particularly like the honey flavor, but I can't wait to come back and try other stuff on the menu (Read: ice cream)! read more

Delicious and inexpensive with a nice vibe. I used to enjoy going to the small Sheridan's in Kansas City (on Barry Road) back when I was in high school. I finally got the chance to stop by Sheridan's Unforked and I really enjoyed myself. While I got custard and not lunch/dinner food, it was all very good. The place was clean and had a trendy design to it. Even the bathrooms were hip and clean. Our custard was undeniably delicious and was priced right for the top quality. I'll definitely be coming back to this location to try some of the tasty smelling food they serve. **Updated 12/2 to say that you should order inside and avoid the drive-thru! Waited in the drive-thru this last weekend behind three cars (first car at the only window) and it took 15 minutes. When we got the custard, it had already started to melt... read more

I ordered the citrus crunch chicken taco. I thought it lacked flavor completely. My boyfriend ordered a burger, and the truffle fries and I only enjoyed the flavor of the fries. The burger was just basic and not cooked completely. Rare to well done. The Mexican chocolate concrete that we got was the saving grace, that was delicious. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing. I always get a few of the tacos, the fundido fries, and a shake on my visits to Unforked and have never had a bad experience and have always had a quality meal. The tacos at Unforked are in my list of top three taco spots in KC. My favorite taco spot is Bonito Michoacan. I will continue to come back to this hip fast casual restaurant. read more

Excellent food! I needed a quick lunch before hair apt. And needed COFFEE! Just today they added a new coffee drink to their menu that was a mocha. I'm not a mocha fan but this was PERFECT! Next time I order will probably leave off the cream cheese whipped topping. Was a little lumpy at the end. Also ordered the Thai Portabella mushroom burger. Outstanding read more

I've had good experiences here in the past, but last night they gave me FOOD POISONING. Food didn't taste right, nothing like before. Way too much sauce on my tacos -- I'm talking like they were swimming in liquids and it made a huge mess. ~4hrs later the food left the way it went in, whether I wanted it to or not. Since other than some fruit it was my only meal of the day, I am sure they were the ones who poisoned me. After that, I don't know if I'll be back. They get two stars instead of one only because of past performance. read more

Food was fresh. I ordered the quesadillas and a chocolate kiss shake (omg). Everything was amazing and I'll definitely be back!

Disappointed that they changed this site, food is not worth the price. I miss the traditional Sheridan's with its traditional custard menu.

I'm a big time fan of Sheridan's Unforked. There isn't a place like this in town where you can get a reasonably priced meal that is also includes local ingredients. The tacos are a must have item here. Burgers are also a good choice. The name Sheridan's is synonymous with custard in Kansas City. Though they also sell the frozen treats here, don't look past the outstanding quality of food and sustainable options made in house. Well worth the visit! read more

The hubs and I have been wanting to check out Sheridan's Unforked for a long time, but have managed to miss out time and time again, mostly because we seem to find our way to that neck of the woods mostly on Sundays and they're closed on Sundays. So when we made a run down to the Solera Salons nearby recently, we decided, against the good advice of my stylist, to get carryout from Sheridan's. While my hair was processing, the hubby ran out and grabbed food. He picked up a Cali taco and a porto pure burger. He came back rather quickly armed with food and he reported the operation seemed to run very smoothly and is staffed mostly by high school kids who are friendly and helpful. My first bite of the food was the taco. It looked bright and colorful and I expected an explosion of flavors, but what I got was the most bland taco I have ever tasted. Mind you, it wasn't awful, but why bother eating anything that has no flavor? Sensing my despair over the sad taco, my hubby handed me the burger for a bite. The burger was ok. Somewhat better than the taco, but I honestly would have preferred a plain grilled portobello mushroom or a burger, not both. The mushroom was twice the size of the burger and the flavors just didn't mesh well. Also, the burger was on the dry side and overcooked. My hubby ended up polishing off the burger and we threw out the remainder of the taco because it just wasn't worth it. I was truly disappointed with this experience. I had heard a lot of positive things about Unforked and was really hoping it would live up to the hype. read more

Unforked - Not just frozen custard - Burgers Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Unforked is a great locally-owned response to the boom of fast-casual restaurants all over the place. They use high-quality ingredients in unique ways, and while you may have to wait a bit longer for your food (and frozen treats) than you do at other faster food places, it's worth it. Where else are you going to get a fist-sized taco with two tortillas that buckle under the weight of a mass of delicious crispy carnitas slathered in bacon glaze and topped with queso fresco and freshly-cut scallions? Not Taco Bell, that's for certain. Staying on the topic of the food, the tacos are the showstopper in my personal opinion. I've had seven of their nine standard tacos (in addition to various seasonal offerings that pop up during various points in the year), and while the previously-described Barking Pig is my favorite, the KC Q is also excellent, and really none of them are less than good. It just depends on what speaks to your mood. And if you aren't a big soft corn tortilla person, you can get your tacos in a flour or whole wheat tortilla, as well as a lettuce "tortilla" that they call a "jammer". Here in my taco-obsessed reverie, I have failed to mention all the other great food items they offer. Some of my friends swear by the burgers and fries, which have sort of a old-school diner taste to them, in a good way. They also have a nice (but small) collection of interesting salads. And not to worry, they still have all the delicious concretes and frozen treats that you probably associate with the Sheridan's name. Plus, unlike a lot of the faster food places, they serve wine and beer if a liquid lunch is what suits you and your coworkers. Before I go, just one word of warning: It's a small building and parking lot. While they do a great job of moving people through the line, it fills up fast at lunch, especially if you are taking a group. In the same vein, while they have a drive-thru, be prepared to have some patience, as they are making each of your tacos or burgers as they are ordered, which takes time. Fast casual means faster than the sit-down restaurant across the street, not "McDonald's fast". If speed is more important to you than food quality, Unforked might not be the best place for your 90 mph lunch. The solution is clearly to open up a second store or even move into a bigger location. Based on how bustling it is when I go, they certainly have the demand to support a larger space. Unfortunately, I have a feeling a second location is a greater likelihood than a new space, given how much effort they seem to have put into updating the style of the existing building. read more

My first time here and I'm so sad that I have never tried this place before! The food is amazing! It was fresh and the kale salad is one of the most refreshing salads I have ever had! The truffle fries are also amazing!! I also got the ghost taco, it was so different but very good too. I will be back for sure! Also, try the organic ketchup, you can really taste the difference! read more

I love the idea of a healthy drive thru option in Overland Park that offers fresh and tasty food made with real ingredients. This place feels like a splurge, but with calorie counts on everything (and reasonable calorie counts at that), you can keep an eye on what you are consuming. I have had numerous tacos from this location and all of them are good. The food is served at a fast food pace, but it doesn't necessarily feel like a fast food restaurant. Service has always been friendly and as quick as possible. A great place to stop for lunch! read more

I'm a big sucker for anything ~ice cream, whatever the name might be, And concretes made with custard are hard to beat in the ice cream hemisphere. Sheridan's has as always satisfied my cravings ever since I discovered them, because I love the chocolate custard, and the hot dogs were actually really good on the whole wheat buns. Then it changed to unforked, changed the whole menu around, and the indoor decoration dramatically changed too. I'm not sure if for the better. I swear, during that transition the prices felt like they went up while the amount of stuff in your concrete went down. I think it's now pretty balanced on cost/food compared to other custard places, though. The cashier is usually friendly, and the decorum is intriguing. I still see it more as a custard shop, and every time I've tried the food it seems to be anyways overly greasy, but if that's what you're going for, then all the power to ya. Concretes take nearly no time which is nice. That brings me to the MAIN reason Sheridan's unforked didn't get 5 stars is because sometimes I'll go thru the drive thru, thinking I can get my concrete real quick and go on my merry way. However, there is just one window for paying and picking up your food, which is fine since a lot of drive thrus can manage with only one window. The thing is, it feels like the drive thru strategy at every other drive thru is if one or two cars ordered something that takes longer, after they pay they move up to the curb and an employee runs their meal out. Here? Sit and wait twiddling my thumbs for 20 minutes before I get my concrete! It may sound like nothing, but twice, I've had to wait over 20 minutes for just a couple of cars in the line! Pretty sure the concretes I ordered mighta been made a tad early too... hence nowadays I almost always go in and order to go. May be a little more hassle, but you get out way quicker. Honestly, it's not that hard, just takes a little of training of the drive thru people to direct those with 6-8 minute long preparation to wait ahead, so your drive thru cashier can help the next car who has a 1 minute prep time! read more
