Best restaurant in the area... Best margarita in KC. (And we've tried a TON!) We come here at least twice a month. Food is always amazing. Service is always fantastic. We always sit at the bar and Demarrion has been our bartender many times. He is so friendly and can run the entire bar plus tables like a pro! I always enjoy watching him work because he never misses a step. We appreciate him and all of the staff at 54! read more

This was my first time, but not my last time. Our service was top notch started from the moment we were seated to the moment we left, the manager even came by to make sure we were doing okay. My drink was tasty in well worth.The price and my food was amazing and healthy win win! The restaurant was packed because people were watching soccer, but we were fortunate to find a great parking spot, but it was a little challenging to leave because people were parking all over the place to try to get in. Look forward to coming back when we are in town. read more

The food was outstanding with so many options. The taste and quality of my meals were top notch. The service was personalized towards my ordering tastes. I was treated so great. One server quickly introduced herself and you couldn't help to see how she related to everyone she interacted with. Their wait staff was a united team and seemed like family. I ate here three times because I loved it so much. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was exactly what I hoped for[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a great energy within the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Used to be called 54th Street Grill is now Five Four. I see a lot has changed, they have definitely upgraded and turned into nice sports bar with so much seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I remember they used to have the best Baked Potato Soup and yes that still stands true, sooo rich and creamy and comforting. I also ordered the Lemon Pepper Wings and Red Sangria. Everything tasted great! Our service was great. My friend is a regular there and a few servers came over to talk. This place will be a definite go to next time I'm in town. read more

Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse - American Near Me - Independence, Missouri

I've been to Five Four, as it's called now, a few times, and it's pretty consistenly great--but with some caveats. The food is very tasty, I'm never disappointed with the flavors. But when I'm trying to eat healthy, they fall short. Basically, when I'm ordering healthier-sounding options, like the brussels sprouts, they are super greasy... so it's kinda disappointing when you're trying to eat healthy and the food comes unnecessarily unhealth-ified., if that's a word. Brussel Sprouts don't need all that grease to be great! As far as prices, they do run on the high side, but they have a great, more affordable lunch menu which we always order from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior has been remodeled somewhat recently, I think. It seems more modern and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing to note - it does get pretty crowded around lunchtime, which is a good sign - people really like it here. But if you don't like crowds/noise, come early![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service here has always been good, and this time was no different. Our waiter was attentive and polite. I give Five Four 4 stars - mostly good, but a few things they could improve (actual healthy options and prices). :) read more

Our server was so helpful and efficient with taking out orders. The 2 for $40 deal is great with appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert is great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Newly decorated tables and walls give this restaurant a very different feel in a good way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Got carry out here tonight. Order was correct was but was just ok. The salmon was overcooked and the Brussels sprouts were bitter and not tender. My chicken was pretty good but fairly chewy. My biscuit was very chewy and I did not enjoy the potatoes. Salads were both good. Portions pretty good. And price. read more

Arrived in town fairly late and looking for a quick, easy dinner. This restaurant was next door to our hotel so we tried. So glad we did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fairly large sport bar but with what we discovered great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Server, Matt, very friendly and knowledgable. I actually order the filet, and it was prepared perfectly with good flavor. Wife had the blue chicken salad and it was delicious and enormous! Tequila wrapper appetizer is definitely worth a try. Highly recommend for your casual dining experience. read more

What a wonderful meal and overall experience! We went on a packed Friday night after joining the wait list for 1 hour. The service was great--our server was very personable and nice although clearly quite busy! The food was great too. Although this wasn't my favorite chicken fried steak (could use more seasoning on this and the gravy), I was glad I could chose both side and absolutely loved the brussel sprouts which came with goat cheese and craisins! This was the highlight of my meal. The Mac and cheese side had a great deal of crunch which I love, but could have used more cheese sauce in my opinion. The cheddar biscuit was alright, nothing special. Overall for $17 this was a huge and very good meal! The energy here was great--I would definitely come back! read more

We have been twice. My husband likes what he had. Both times I had chicken dishes. Very salty Guess I just order the wrong item read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good atmosphere and the food was very tasty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's probably a corp policy but when i order a premium draft I don't expect 2 inches of foam. A 22oz draft shouldn't come out to be 16oz in a 22oz glass. Draft pours is my biggest complaint. Your reply confirms you trying to skimp on the pours. Any head on a 22oz glass, wide at the top is purposely giving me a 16oz pour. I watched as so much foam was poured down the drain to boot. Worked in food&bev over 10yrs, I tip great on good pours and below min on bad pours like your establishment does. Too bad you try to make up on the alcohol sales when its so easy to just do a good draught pour. Why I've never been back to your place and won't be. read more

Today, my mom and I stopped in for the first time to have lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is newer and is very clean and more modern with comfortable seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upon entering, we were greeted by a hostess, but she walked off and said somebody else would help us. Then finally some other hostess came up and let us to a table/booth. Our server came over quickly and we both ordered their lunch special. My mother had the Smashburger special and I had the regular burger special and we both ordered gluten-free buns. We both appreciate that they have a gluten-free menu that you can view with your phone. The food was good and it came out pretty quickly. I think the waitress could've stopped by more after the food had come by and asked if we needed anything. They have an extensive menu and we will return. read more

Diversity training will help with your employees that turn their heads and try not to make eye contact or even speak to and with brown people or people that don't look like them. I've bee a regular at 54 for years and see things that I don't like to see when I'm spending my money. Diversity training will help promote understanding, respect within your workplace. read more

The menu is the same great menu at 54th street grill and the food was perfect. Ewan was our server and he did a fantastic job. In fact the entire service staff worked hard to make everything go well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The facility was clean and modern and there was plenty of Ty if room and seating options (restaurant side, bar side and simioutdoor seating).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A fun place to have dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went without a reservation and sat at the bar. Great service and food at the bar! read more

We went to the 54 on my birthday May16th. We had Caroline as our server. She was great. Very friendly and knew her stuff. We also had Tyler the GM stop by to say hi and brought us some extra ketchup. The food was great, beer was cold and I had a great birthday dinner!! Can't say more than that. So if you're ever in Independence, MO this is a must stop. read more

Chiefs pregame meal. We tried 5 4 because it was next to our hotel and it did not disappoint. Chicken fried chicken and the double smash burger were both great, the fries were seasoned different than any I had eaten before. Our server was great, very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back !! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very open, spacious and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food is great, server Sam was terrible. He didn't know what he was doing and repeatedly made mistakes. But again, food was phenomenal.

Service was fantastic. Food was also great. I highly recommend it. The entire menu is worth checking out, especially the appetizers.

Oh wow!! The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the dessert was incredible. The man who served us was so friendly and so many others checked to make sure we were being taken care of! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant seemed friendly and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Finally went to check out the new Five Four location in Independence. Wow! It's so nice! Huge, open, bright, lively, lots of TVs, smiling faces. We haven't been to a 54 in over a year and decided to try the Gyro and Prime Rib Dip again. SO good. The prime rib was cooked medium rare just how we love it, and I ate the entire Gyro (not like me to finish!). We had Ashley and Nina at the bar and they were very attentive, friendly, and made a great Bloody Mary! I forgot to take pictures because I was talking too much and enjoying my drinks and food! read more

So, I love 54th chain! However, the last two times I have went to this location the service has been less than satisfied. I don't know if they are understaffed or what is going on. The food at 54th is always a hit! I also love love love their Happy Hour. My go to items (what I would recommend) - Chicken Wings - Nachos - Chicken Power Grain bowl - GRINGO DIP AND WAFFLE FRIES - quesadillas - and a nice frozen house Marg Also, I recommend downloading their app for perks! read more

Burger is bland with very light Gaelic aole sauce...just like it was before the bland "rebrand". [[HIGHLIGHT]]No antiques, just flat photos on the walls and some weird fan with blue LEDs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tvs ONLY at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh, and if you order sides of sauces, you don't know the total of the sauce on the side until you get the bill because that's not specifically stated on the menu. The boneless chicken wings are still terrible like they were when they first changed them. I'm not missing out on anything, I even now, don't care to return here. Oh . And awkward... you have to pour yourself iceless water out if a glass milk jug. And no, business manager- you can't make this better because you haven't already. read more

The food has been top notch the last few weeks and the staff is always friendly too. Keep up the good work!

Ordered a double Red Breast on the rocks. They brought out a single, insisting it was 3oz. Definitely not paying for that

Wow just wow!! Where do I even start? As soon as we walk in, we are seated. Very soon after we are greeted by our very dapper waiter. He had very attentive service throughout. The food was amazing and was definitely worth the price!! We were recommended by a worker at the Royals game and were not let down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want a great ambiance this is the place to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I could give this place a 10 star review! read more

It's been a long time since we've had service this good at any place, let alone a bar/grill type place. All of the waitstaff worked together, the manager was actually walking around and our waiter had several great recommendations that made our night go perfect. We ate here as a family, but they have a great atmosphere for groups, a date or family night out. Tons of tvs in the bar, but none in the dining area - perfect! We had a mix of burgers, Mexican and appetizers. Everything was delicious. My wife had a "painkiller" mixed drink, and it tasted just like the Caribbean. Overall, this place has everything you could want - it even does a mean carryout business. If you are staying in one of the nearby hotels like we were, check this place out. read more

First time visit since the remodel and quite the change! Not anything like the pub and restaurant look and feel with local artifacts on the walls and ceilings, but more of an upscale and trendy place with lots of windows, high ceilings, and a big bar and lots of TV's, for the big game. I ordered the lunch soup and salad and the chicken tortilla soup is really good. Our server took good care of our table and had good suggestions to help us with the menu. I'll be back! read more

This was our first time at 54th street and it was great!! Overall I'd give our entire experience a 10/10. The food was really good. Fried pickles were unbelievably good. Our burgers were tasty, well cooked and well seasoned. All our sides were also delicious. The best part however was our server, Cameron. He was so friendly and likable without being overbearing. He provided wonderful recommendations that actually turned into our meal. If you go to this location ask for Cameron!! read more

Scratch kitchen, food was yummy, timing was quick and service was amazing! I would definitely come back! Liked the open air feel too.

First time visiting this location since the remodel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]New open concept and decor is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was no waiting and we were seated right away. We both ordered salads-Chicken Club salad with blackened chicken and California Bleu Chicken salad. Our orders arrived after a wait and this is why I provided the less than perfect rating. I mentioned to the person that delivered our food that I had ordered blackened chicken not fried. He offered to take it back but I declined. The Chicken Club salad was missing most of the ingredients. No tomato, no cheese, no avocado, no cucumber and the chicken was fried, not blackened. The California Bleu had no blue cheese and no tortilla strips. We didn't notice the missing ingredient at first because we had waited a bit for the salads and were hungry. Our waiter was nowhere to be found until he came to deliver our check. Not sure if this will stop us from going back; I think everyone deserves a second chance. read more

They're Not All The Same Like all other 54th Street Grill & Bar restaurants this one has an indoor dining room, an outdoor patio, and a bar. The parking lot has ample parking, and a foyer to keep the inside inside and the outside outside. 54th Street Grill & Bar is a chain, so you would expect total "cookie cutter" all the way. The first thing I noticed coming through the door was that the bar area was separated from the dining room by large plate glass windows. I like that because it helps keep family groups with small energetic children from having to mingle with adults tipping a toddy. Not all locations are like that. The patio area has a commanding view of the parking lot, and does allow smoking. Weathering the COVID-19 era has brought out the best in this place. They have been able to maintain a quality staff that will make all the difference as the world wakes up. Our server was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. She was also training a new hire - the right person for the right job! Their menu is pretty large so that just about anyone will find something that suits their taste. My favorite is the TRIPLE STACKED CLUB: sliced turkey, "thick cut" smoked bacon, sharp cheddar, swiss, honey mustard, smashed avocado, on toasted wheat, and one standard side, That comes in at $12. 50 and leaves you 1480 Calories heavier. Works for me. Their location is across 39th Street from Independence Mall and the area is highly populated with restaurants of every stripe. So with dwindling dine in customers and increased curbside, delivery and take out, the whole staff has had to step up their game - and they have. Everything inside was clean with a fresh feel, and well maintained. That is what I call making the best of a lock down. I really could not find anything to complain about - they are winning! While this one is a bit farther away than another one, it is now farther up on our go-to list. They are all pretty good, but I like this one better. COVID-19 Considerations: Social Distancing is enforced, Masks are required when not seated, Tables are sanitized after each customer, and Hand Sanitizer is available on every table. To-Go, Curbside, and Delivery are all available. read more
