Parking was ample outside and we came in right about dinner time. We were sat immediately and I soon had a nice red beer. The cheese burgers were the special, so I opted for one of those with fries + the "my girlfriend isn't hungry" add of a couple chicken strips and some extra fries. The burger was perfect, but I've gotta say...for being a place called *Burg* and Barrel, their chicken strips are the best. They're juicy, the breading is fantastic, and they're always just really high quality. We came in while they were starting the trivia night deal, which I couldn't care less about, but if that's something you're a fan of...it's a thing here. Overall it was just another fantastic meal at the best burger/brew chain in the KC area.

I went with the Chicken Philly with jalapeños, grilled onions, and pepper jack cheese. It was tasty, just nothing to write home about. I won't knock them for the curly fries losing crispness during delivery--that's just the nature of takeout, and five minutes in the air fryer brought them right back to life. The real star of the meal, hands down, was the mac and cheese. The photo honestly doesn't do it justice. The pasta had the perfect bite, and the cheese sauce was rich, creamy, and decadent. (I wouldn't bathe in it, but it was pretty dang good!) All in all, a solid dinner. Next round I'll definitely order the wings to see what the hype is about.

Luckily we went to an event that ended at Jefferson's and were able to try a variety of their appetizers. We also found out that they have their own house made beers! If the outside had shown this was a brewery, we absolutely would have come sooner. I am a fan of their wheat, and my fiancé enjoys their IPA. We have been three times total now. Each time we are able to find a seat quickly and the service has been prompt and friendly. Sometimes we just come for appetizers. This last time I enjoyed their grilled chicken Caesar salad, while my fiancé had their chili and a dozen oysters. He had a half dozen classic and a half dozen Cajun. Highly recommend the Cajun! I've never had flavored oysters before. Basically, give this place a shot. It's a great place to either start or end your day at the park. They have an expansive menu that is sure to please everyone.

Two dishes in, both winners. The ancho woodfired chicken salad -- charred corn, black beans,…read morecotija, crisp tortilla strips, chipotle-honey vinaigrette -- had the right balance of smoky, sweet, and crunchy, and the chicken itself was cooked perfectly. The other standout was the raspberry coconut chicken: crispy coconut-breaded tenders draped in a raspberry coulis with toasted almonds on top, sitting over a creamy slaw. Sweet and savory done right, though heads up if you're dairy-sensitive -- that slaw is loaded. Portions are generous, flavors are bold without being over the top, and everything tasted made-to-order rather than assembly-line. Will definitely be back to work through the rest of the menu. Also, the service was outstanding and it was a really clean ambience so if you've never been here.

I set up reservations online, got an email confirming, and when we get there they have no clue…read moreabout the reservation and want to seat us outside. It's hot out. Eventually the get us seated in the main area. My wife ordered mashed potatoes and green beans as sides, and the mashed potatoes were cold. They took those back to fix, so we each tried some of her green beans. We both looked at each other in shock and said "These taste like fish!" Plus they were cold, so cold fish green beans. So when they brought out the warmed mashed potatoes we mentioned that, and they grabbed those to fix up, and asked us to check our steak. They were supposed to be medium, but were rare. So they took the steaks and my fries (the only thing edible so far). After 10 minutes the steaks were back, and looked good, along with a new order of the green beans, and we each got a replacement flame singed sliver of bread. So we taste the green beans, and now they taste like warm fish. So we got the manager again and I asked if they ever taste any of this stuff, and she didn't really know what to say. She said they'd take it off our bill, and we could have a free desert. Okay so back to the steaks, which were cooked right but too salty now. And that's when I realized they never brought back my fries. So we flag them down again, and eventually get the fries, which are good. The desert menu is a bunch of uninteresting goo, but we settle on something and get it to go. I pay the bill, tip 20%, and we get the heck out. Later we realize that they had accidentally added another steak entree to out order, then credited it off, just like the green beans and "free" desert, but their little machine calcutes the tip off the total before credits, so I actually payed a 50% tip. Unreal.

My main complaint was after getting the check for a $350 bill, a credit card fee of 3% was added. I understand resturants pay this fee, but that has long been built into pricing and they have the advantage of not having to deal with cash. Not to mention studies that people spend more when they use credit. We probably won't go back.

We also went with the ONION RING TOWER which consists of onion rings served with ranch or Cajun horseradish dipping sauce. The Cajun is the way to go. Next we the wings, which have a wide variety of sauce options, we went with, MANGO HABANERO which is a very Tangy-sweet with a habanero heat, and the HELL'S FURY which is enough ghost peppers to blow your top. Flaming hot to say the least and not for the faint of heart. I selected the JALAPEÑO CREAM CHEESE Burger, which is a prime Wagyu beef patty topped with jalapeño cream cheese spread, peppered bacon, and pepper jack cheese on a brioche bun. It was moist cooked just right with a light sear. Perfection.My wife opted for the SICKIES BURGER which is a burger topped with Peppered bacon, fried egg, pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and American cheese, topped with onion rings and a splash of hot sauce. We conclude with one of their shakes, and they have several options to choose from, Banana, Butterscotch, Chocolate, Coffee, Oreo®, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Vanilla. I went with the Raspberry and my wife sent with the Oreo. Both were very filling. The staff is very accommodating and attentive that matched with a 1950s dinner vibe, it is a relaxing welcoming environment and this both enjoyable and comfortable. If you are thur the area you are sure to come away full. Highly recommend this place, it will not disappoint.

The space has a really nice, open layout, and our server was fantastic and incredibly attentive. Our eyes immediately went to the shake menu, and our server was nice enough to let us split a cinnamon roll shake, serving it up in two separate glasses for us. For food, my buddy got the tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't one of those cartoonishly dinosaur-sized portions you see at some places, but he said it was really tasty and well worth it. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with garlic aioli, and it hit the spot. The burger was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were perfectly seasoned, and the bun was toasted (always a nice bonus). Even the fries were perfectly crispy. All in all, I was very pleased with the meal. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu!

The TL/DR: Believe the hype on the overall…read more The more granular? Get a double patty, because they're smashburgers and they're fairly, uh, smashed. But when you add the standard fixins', then it makes for a good-sized sammich. But still, go for more than one patty. The 'Snack Attack' is their featured special, which is a burg & fries for a reasonable price. The double runs you a bit over $11 but it's a great value. The burgers are freshly made, they're seasoned well, and they're done right. But if you're a French fry type, like moi, then these are a don't-miss. Snack Shack on Johnson does their fries skin-on in beef tallow and the crispiness and flavor come barreling right through. Sensational side or even just on their own. One downside: ketchup isn't on the tables, just mustard, so you might need to request extra on the condiment. Yeah, but that hype. The burgers are good, not amazing. The fries, as previously mentioned, are legit fantastic. You're eating good for less than $15 in a throwback spot with a throwback approach, so that's also a win. The knock might be the organization, as it's just one register and the space is small enough that the 'line' is generally just a small crowd. Toss in some nostalgic photos and other yesteryear looks and this place is pretty close to the diner where Marty McFly first met his future dad. That image ought to cover any photo evidence. Parking is easy and pricing is competitive (have you seen fast food prices? Oy veh...) and the vibe matches the look. Definitely worth a stop, but don't tarry about when you have those fries, because they are a must-eat-when-hot experience. Last pro tip: Snack Shack does $1 ice cream cones 3-5 Monday through Friday as a 'happy hour', and yeah, those cones are worthy of being on a happy hour menu.

The vibe, atmosphere felt energetic and welcoming especially us being 26-year residence of Shawnee. This place is a great and needed upgrade to our downtown area. What really stood out to us was the fact everyone (employees) we encountered seemed to not only enjoy what they do but also took it upon themselves individually to make sure we had everything we needed. While our server did a great job, we had others attend and check on us while we were eating. That is a quality rarely experienced anymore in the hospitality/food service industry. It wasn't just our server's mission to ensure we had an amazing experience; it was everyone's. Even as we were walking out, we encountered a couple more "thank you for coming "and smiles after the sale. As consumers we can choose daily where we go to spend our money. Far too often some restaurant experience(s) reminds you of why dining at home would have been the superior choice. Hanks Garage and its employees gave us every reason to go back. side note: Don't pass on the broccoli, it's flavors of garlic and bacon are a must try.

The result is a delicious burger so fresh you wonder if the cow is still alive. LOL. Boulevard Burgers is tucked inside the Food Court at Johnson County Community College. They have a lock on burgers because they are the only restaurant in the Food Court that serves burgers. This monopoly, though, does not make them any more expensive or the quality any less. In fact, just the opposite. I think maybe they are the only food company because of their prices and quality. Yum, yum! You order at the small counter. They put the patty on the grill and you can see the whole process. Then you dress it up with fresh, fresh, fresh veggies. They have lettuce, tomatoes, onions and all sorts of goodies. You put your own condiments on your burger which ensures it is to your liking. The menu is limited but that does not seem to be a problem. They have delicious grilled cheese sandwiches on Fridays only. I have no idea why only Fridays but it gives you something to look forward to during a long week. They have veggie burgers, pork fritters, brats, hot dogs, chili dogs and all sorts of yummies. They have fries and delicious onion rings (sucker for onion rings). The staff is always helpful and friendly. They are happy to answer your silly questions and they are also happy to custom cook your food. I have never had a bad customer service experience here. Everything is reasonably priced and they have two price options for burgers. There is a value burger and a regular priced, bigger burger. Small or large... they are great burgers. There is also no doubt as to their freshness. Try it out.. you will not be disappointed.
