Teamwork needs to be improved. Our food sat under the heater for 15 mins, multiple servers looked at it and left it while our server was cashing out a large party. Finally the bartender started delivering food, after multiple tables food was sitting there. Though the server still never checked on us and took twenty mins, we had to hunt her down for the check. Our food was cold and the dipping cheese was hard. Food used to be tasty here but has gone down hill. Beer is mediocre, does change often and has some guest taps that are not your normal taps. read more

Brew Lab - Breweries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Brew Lab is one of those places that I enjoy going to every once in a while because the prices are fair, the beer is pretty good, the service is fine and it's kid/family friendly. I'm not overly impressed with their food, I feel like everything I've tried has lacked a little flavor. We almost always get the pretzel bites and mini corn dogs for an appetizer/snack and both seem like they need more salt or seasoning. However, they have good specials and happy hours, plus it's a really big space with room to spread out and just hang for a couple of hours without feeling rushed. This is a restaurant that I will come back to but it's just not a favorite. read more

The food was definitely not that great and the service was ok. There was only one waitress from what I could tell which was fine because there were only two tables. That probably should have been my first warning sign. It was Saturday afternoon and the weather was great and the place was dead. read more

Restaurant Week brought us back this year, but the experience was disappointing. Service was lacking from the start. The bartender Jake appeared to be covering both the bar and tables. We arrived to an almost empty restaurant, yet parties who came in after us were served before we were. We were the last to receive our food, which had been sitting under the heat lamps for some time before our server retrieved it. The biggest issue was the menu. The Restaurant Week menu stated that entrées came with a side (for example, the Goat Cheese Burger is listed with a "side of your choice"), but nowhere did it disclose that certain sides carried an upcharge. We were charged an additional $2 and $1.50, which felt misleading. The table setup also caused problems. The rough wooden tables and sampler tray design made it difficult to remove glasses without spilling. We experienced multiple spills due to the uneven surface and cleaned them up ourselves while staff passed by without offering assistance. Finally, I had won a gift card through an online promotion and received an email from a manager, Melissa, instructing me to stop by to pick it up. During this visit, I was told that she no longer works there and was asked if I had proof. I said I could bring it next time--though after this experience, I doubt there will be a next visit. read more

On Fridays, I try to get Fish as much as possible, even though I'm not really a religious person. I love fried fish, as a Canadian colony diehard. While they had Fish 'N Chips on the menu, this was a misnomer, they should have called it Fried fish nuggets and fries. With a beer, tax and tip, my meal came out to $29. The food was not good, and it looked nothing like English or Scottish style fish and chips. A good fish is a large fillet of cod, haddock or halibut. I can also take in Salmon....but these were little nuggets and they were soggy, not crisp. To make it even worse, they had not been de-boned properly, a no-no. Two of them had bones in them that needed to be picked out. Secondly, the chips aren't chips, they're seasoned shoestring type fries, similar to those you get from Ore-Ida. I don't mind seasoned fries, but anyone who orders FnC knows that chips needs to be hand cut, thick and unseasoned (that why you give us salt and malt vinegar!) so they can be soft, mash potato-like on the inside. And the beer, it was good but at $7, I expected a pint. I swore, this was more like a half pint or less (can't confirm). The only reason why I gave it a second star was because it was a nice warm day and they put me close to the patio so I got to get some late afternoon sun. read more

Brew Lab - Fish and Chips? - Breweries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

This was our first time here and we were very pleased! The vibe was very laid back, perfect for a brewery. We also came in during happy hour on a Friday night, so right before dinner rush. We started with in house brews and both of us thoroughly enjoyed our drinks! Zuzu's Petals is such a treat, definitely on the sour end of ciders but so delicious! Tinta Davila was a mouthful of Christmas and didn't have that bitter bite of a lot of stouts (which I personally don't enjoy) have, both were excellent! We started our meal with pretzel bites and they came out fast, piping hot and holy cow was it a MASSIVE serving! What is pictured is probably half of what we received but we were very hungry! You can tell they cook the pieces individually, so it's hot and slightly oily but in a good way, kind of like a funnel cake, without the sweetness. These were a home run. I got the fish and chips which were good but definitely not the best I've had in town. The fries were crispy and top tier but the fish had an almost frozen vibe...what did pull them back though was the beer flavor. It was good, just not enough to write home about. My hubs got the Philly Steak Pita with jalepeno slaw/ he enjoyed the wrap...the slaw, not so much. He is a slaw lover and said this one didn't really have any flavor other than jalepeno. But, that's why you try new stuff on your first visit! Not everything is always a banger! Overall, even with the partial misses, they get a solid 4 from us! We'll definitely be back! Our server was also great, he was attentive but didn't hover...just the way we like it! read more

Happy to be so close to this awesome hangout!! It is the perfect place to go for a late afternoon patio beer, a tasty pick-me-up snack, or to catch a game. They have some pretty interesting beers on tap - we tried one with gin and a bunch of strange botanicals and while we probably wouldn't order it again we do appreciate the artistry and intrigue of something we've never conceived of tasting before! They truly do live up to their experimental Lab name! The sweet and salty pretzel bites were outta this world! Crisp and hot but soft and fluffy on the inside, I'd crush a plate of these again in a second. The fries were also tasty - overall a great spot to wind down from a farmer's market run! read more

Brew Lab - Sweet and Salty Pretzel Bites - Breweries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Local brewery on the north side of Overland Park. I'm not a beer guy but my friend is. He chose a 6 sample flight from the 19 varieties available and was impressed with all 6 (a rarity for him). Even the one advertised as eating a churro was good (he says it tastes like a churro dipped in coffee). The beers are flavorful and creative. I chose from the other liquor options behind the bar. We also ate dinner there. I had the street tacos which were ok. The service was good with the bar maid /waitress hustling to get drinks and orders to us. The facility consists of high tables and stools. Televisions are scattered to watch sports. Plenty of parking available. Highly recommended for their beer selection. read more

Really enjoyed it! I visited on a Thursday and they had a good crowd for bingo and the bar staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice beer selection that has several high in ABV and some sours/goses as well. I particularly enjoyed the Science 101 cream ale and the Thirst Trap saison was good as well. Great location and a fun atmosphere. I have a feeling I'll be back! read more

Food - pretty good for bar food Service - good Ambiance - pure bar vibes Had the fish and chips with a side order of Mac and Cheese Fish - light breading good flavor, in house made tartar sauce is tasty. Fries - nice and crispy on the outside, good flavor and a plentiful portion. Mac and cheese - average needs seasoning IMHO or real cheesse, I added pepper and Sriracha ... made it better. Place has a nice selection of beer, they make their own Non Alcoholic in house and have Kombucha on tap as well. Here you can also take MYOB (make your own beer) classes if that's your current or future thing. read more

Hidden gem in KC. We visited Brew Lab during KC Restaurant week and will be adding this restaurant to our list for date nights. We fell in love with their pretzel bites and queso! We had a flight of their house beer and if you like cider, I recommend Zuzu's Petals! read more

Hiding on Brew Lab's menu you'll find an awesome vegan-modifiable option: Tofrito Street Tacos {corn torilla, pico de gallo, lettuce, lime salsa verde, tofrito, queso fresco*, avocado crema*}.  Be sure to remove the queso fresco and the avocado crema if you're avoiding dairy.  The tacos are excellent and also reasonable at 3 for $9.  The tacos are not tiny, so the 3 tacos alongside some chips and salsa is a good portion for me.  The tacos might fall apart so go ahead and ask for some silverware.  To drink, if you're not there for beer, I'd recommend skipping the Paloma and getting the Spicy Greatness instead. read more

We drove over 30 minutes out the way to go to a brewery in Kansas. Times online stated they were open on Mondays at 11am. We arrived early and waited till 11:05 to enter, only to find they were not open. I don't understand why breweries cannot update their times! Very upsetting. read more

Brew Lab started off as a fun brewery concept where you could take beer brewing classes, but it has grown into so much more. It is now a great space that has incredible food. I have been there numerous times, tried a big chunk of the menu (best pretzels in town!) and have yet to be disappointed. Great food, good beer and an altogether fantastic experience! read more

Brew Lab - Mitigating Disaster beer, Baja Burger and Fries - Breweries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I tried out this local brew pub the other day and might have had the best beer shot combination I've ever had! We came in during their ALL DAY happy hour Sunday and I think I might have found my new favorite spot. Our waiter suggested I add a shot of Jameson to my MEADOWLARK-- PEACH PIE HARD CIDER and dang it did not disappoint! I highly recommend going and checking out brew labs seasonal beers and ciders before they are gone. Brew lab has happy hour weekdays 2-6 and all day Sunday. They offer not only discounts on their house brews but also $6 apps! The pretzel bites are my absolute favorite and they have a few different sauces you can have them bring you ranging from sweet to spicy. read more

Great spot in downtown OP to relax and grab a bite to eat along with a refreshing pint. Went down here for happy hour with some co-workers and after all was said and done I was extremely pleased. They have a great selection of beers to choose from along with a good amount of cocktails. Personally I would stick with the beers, but there's something for all tastes. On the food side we only ordered appetizers. If I were to call two out on the must have side it would be the pretzel bites and the cheese curds. The cheese curds had a nice garlic to them and the pretzel bites were perfectly crisped. Definitely a great spot to meet with others and enjoy your evening. read more

Walked in for brunch and the first bad sign was that not one customer was there. The whole place just stank like dirty bar. Then my table was sticky so that was my last draw and left after being inside two minutes total. read more

I am not always the biggest beer fan, but I came here on a Friday night with some friends and had a great time. They had a woman playing an acoustic set of covers and she was awesome. They also had the doors open, letting in the perfect breeze. Our server was also so nice and had some great recommendations. We tried some of the food and it was pretty good bar food. I also really loved the decorations and how cute the bathroom was! read more

Brew lab is one of my favorite spots for good food + brews. I typically frequent Brew Lab on Fridays for live music or Sunday for all day happy hour. The build your own sampler and lab nachos are my go-tos. Highly recommend the pretzel bites and mini corn dogs! Brew Lab is a cool space with fun names for each of their beers. The beer list is constantly rotated so there's always something new to try. I haven't been a fan of every beer I've tried, but that is more so personal preference than a knock on the beer. There are plenty of options to cater to everyone's tastes. My only small complaint is the service can be hit or miss sometimes. I think that may have been due to being understaffed a bit. However, I have seen some new faces in recently and service was solid my last couple visits. Definitely recommend giving Brew Lab a try next time you're in downtown OP! read more

Great beer selections, awesome food, and good service make for a fun time at Blew Lab! I especially like the plentiful menu options for vegetarians. In particular, the wrap with tofu is a WIN. Recently, we have been going to Brew Lab on Tuesday nights for trivia and it's really fun! My best advice for trivia is to arrive early. If you are looking for a large table you should arrive by 5:40...yes really. Tables for 4 are easier to get closer to game time but if you want an 8-top you need to arrive about an hour and a half early. read more

We came here with friends on Friday for the first time and I am shocked we have never been sooner. We were always getting coupons in the mail during the pandemic and just never went. They brew their beer in house and have some guest taps. Their food is delicious. They also have live music on Friday nights and that was super fun. The place was packed so definitely get there early! We will be back. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally made it! We went recently for a birthday party celebration. The private room where we had our get-together was a nice touch, allowing us to have some separation from the main area. I tried the flight of six beers, and I must say, I enjoyed all of them. They also have happy hour specials, including all day Sunday, which is great. I shared the build-your-own appetizer sampler with one other person. We tried the Southwest egg rolls, cheese curds, and pretzel bites. The food was delicious and had a decent range of flavors. I am eager to try more of their menu items in the future. Everything my friends ordered looked just as good too! I was also impressed that they serve standard beer like Coors Light, not just their own brews. Overall, my visit to Brewlab was a positive experience. However, I did notice that it can get pricey, but I understand that's typical of any place that serves alcohol. While some of my party had minor complaints about the service, we had one server taking care of a rather large group, so I understand the challenge of providing excellent service in such situations. In summary, Brewlab is a cool spot, especially if you're a beer lover. The private room, happy hour specials, and diverse menu make it an excellent option for groups or individuals. I would recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. read more

Great meal. Super friendly staff and clean environment. It had the brewery smell but only mildly and it went away after a few minutes. Delicious cheese curds and burgers read more

I've been here a few times to have apps and a couple of beers. But I was happy to see this place ended up on restaurant week. I didn't realize they had such a good menu and they offer lunch specials during the week. The BLT comes like a grilled cheese and it's delicious. The Baja chicken wrap has quite the kick to to it but it's worth it. However the best part are the pretzel bites and the cheese curds. Get an order of pretzel bites and a festbier and sit back and enjoy a game on one of the many TVs. read more

We happened to be out in Overland Park and wanted to find a Boulevard type place to grab beers and appetizers. Google and yelp helped us find Brew Lab!

I still like Brew Lab and would still recommend it, but it can take a while to order. Our last visit we sat for over 20 minutes without a server before I asked to order at the bar. Staff rectified this quickly but you may need to be ready to speak up for yourself. read more

"This is the best food I've had in a really long time" -my dad, who is very picky. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I hadn't really heard much about Brew Lab and it was a random selection by my mom from the KCRW list. We had 4 people in our party which was we the perfect amount to try each appetizer (minus the edamame), each main course, and each dessert. There was not a single thing we did not absolutely rave over!! Each item was cooked to perfection and so, so flavorful. The food I HAVE to point out as being absolutely TO DIE FOR!!! is the pretzel bites. I'm still drooling over them days later. They are SO crispy on the outside (not the dry, overcooked, chewy outside like some pretzel bites have) and SOFT on the inside. Each one was like a tiny bite of heaven. Not only do they have them as an appetizer with cheese dip but they also have them as a sweet and salty dessert. GENIUS!! Both were delicious in their own way and I just know I will be thinking about them forever, probably. Our waiter was nice and patient and helped with picking the beer flights. He was attentive and made sure we were always satisfied with our food and drinks. It was slightly loud in there but it was fitting for a brewery/restaurant and it didn't interrupt our conversations at all. It was neat having the brewery equipment next to our table to help connect us to the brewing process as we were tasting our delicious beer. I'm not much of a beer drinker but my favorites of the beer options were the chocolate cake beer the raspberry cider. Everyone else in my group had no complaints about the beer they sampled as well, and they made sure to try pretty much the entire beer menu. Overall an excellent experience, I will be back asap!! read more

Pretzel bites are toasty. Queso is good. Stout mustard is really good. Portion was way too big for one person! Only two workers in front of house so I being one person, wasn't a high priority. Basically, they poured my beer, I decided to set on patio for warmth but ordered pretzel bites before I went out. They kept going to the table next to me with 4 adults and 3 children but never bothered to check on me. I went ahead and walked to kitchen window where I helped myself to some napkins. They have even checked on table inside door. Me still nothing. lol! Must be me! The male server just redeemed himself by checking on me after 30 minutes of silence. He is a Radiohead fan, so all is forgiven. To be honest he is the personality here today! Bartender to serious for my liking! read more

We came for trivia night and had a blast. Tuesday's at 7 is trivia. $2 street tacos which were pretty good!

Tbh not really a beer person but my husband loved his! read more

I've been here twice now and have really enjoyed both experiences. To start, the servers on both occasions were excellent....friendly and attentive. I had the Baja Burger on my first trip and the fish and chips on the second one. The Burger was cooked perfectly (medium) and tasted wonderful. It was SPICY, but i guess I should expect that from the description. The parmesan fries were wonderful as well. The fish and chips were fried perfectly and not over done. I wish they would have had Malt Vinegar, but they had a tartar sauce that was sufficient. There was live music on our second visit and it was pleasant to have that going on in the background. I definitely will go back and try some of the other items that looked so good on the menu. ......oh and I am not a beer drinker, but if you are, it looks like they have a wide selection of things you would enjoy! read more

Decent food but everything else is subpar. Beer is mediocre and options for non-beer drinkers are even lower. Service is atrocious every time we have tried to stop in here and we are 95% sure they train their staff to say "I'm sorry we are understaffed today" as we hear it EVERY SINGLE TIME we have tried to come here. Whether we are 1 of 3 tables or 1 of 10 tables we hear the same excuse for horrible service. As someone who worked food industry for 6 years, if the same manager has been poorly scheduling staff for over 2 years, how is that person still the scheduling manager? Or again, is that something they just train their staff to say to trigger sympathy? Either way, you will be better off at burg n barrel or driving a little bit further away to one of the real breweries in the area. I am giving it 2 stars as opposed to 1 bc the building and ambience are nice. Just hope that you are the only table there. read more

Good spot for some friends and I to get some beers at different times of the week. Wish you got more cheese for the pretzel bites. Also would love a more fully stocked main bar, know you guys do mainly beer but it's such a nice venue that I'd love to eventually move from beer to liquor when I get tired of whatever I'm drinking at that point. I start my night here but with some better late night grub and more bar options I could see myself ending a Friday night if drinks here with friends read more
