Service was friendly and attentive without bring too much. Fried Pickles were crunchy and seasoned perfectly. Patty Melt was toasted well, cooked to order on point, dressing on it tangy. The fries could have been a little crisper but they were hot and yummy. Potato Bacon Chowder in a bread bowl, nice chunky pieces of potato, creamy base with great bacon flavor. The bread bowl was soft and tasty. Side salad was nothing to write home about, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The ranch dressing was amazing though. I was a little surprised by the paper/Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils but ‍ read more

First time here. We came for lunch. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and soup. The soupbowl is a bread bowl. I had the potato soup. Very good. Service was fast. It's more of a sports bar feel. Definitely come for lunch and college games read more

Came here for lunch. It's a sports type bar and grill. We were seated right away. Lots of sandwiches and appetizers on their menu. It was hard for me to pick. The food came out fairly fast. I ordered a grilled Reuben. It was very good. Big bread slices. I had pasta salad on the side, which was good. Tangy and creamy. I would probably come here again if I'm in the area. read more

Gert's is a solid little bar. It has a nice sports bar feel to it. I came in at sat at the bar. Heather made sure I was taken well care of. I ordered a drink and a mushroom swiss burger. The drink was out fast and the burger was close behind. The burger and fries were cooked well. The burger was juicy and the topping were all fresh tasting. The crinkle cut fries were a snappy golden brown. It was delicious, but way more food than I could eat! The portions are massive! Good service, good food! read more

Service - good Food - consistently good for years Ambiance - its a sports bar Been here since 2005 or before. Went on April 4, 2025 after a long hiatus. Lunch special, 1/2 sammich with soup in a bread bowls, and a side. Got the 1/2 mc gertie sammich... The McGertie - Smoked turkey, bacon, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and parmesan peppercorn. With an Open volcano 3" tall bread bowl serving of cheese soup - excellent pairing! Filling, great combination for lunch, did i say filling! Side o pickle is a full pickle, crunchy, sliced in half, lengthwise. Think Claussem, not Vlassic.... read more

Solid sports bar with nice staff and lots of TVs. Nothing super fancy about the ambiance of Gert's, but they have a large menu of mostly sandwiches that'll get the job done. My grandma absolutely loves this place. She's not known for having the most adventurous palate, but my gosh does she love her cream cheese. Must be genetic. She always orders the TAC (turkey, avocado, and cream cheese) with extra cream cheese so we split that sandwich with the California Kid (literally the exact same sandwich, but on a croissant). Tough to screw up a sandwich with those ingredients. We both enjoyed a lovely lunch, but the food was just a notch above average for me. read more

I went here for lunch today and received excellent service. The place is very close to my work, but this was only my second time coming. I had a very hearty lunch for the reasonable price of $20 after tip. I got a half sandwich (The Garden + Turkey - Sprouts), a cup of chili, and a bag of bbq chips. It was a good amount of food. This is a great place to hang out and there were plenty of screens to watch games if that is what you were interested in. read more

Great food. Love the soup bowls. Reasonable prices. Excellent service. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Even the best bar food is rarely ever great, and seldom even good - but hopefully it's not terrible either. Gert's food lies somewhere in this grey area. The cheese soup tasted like a cross between cheese soup and queso. The fried chicken salad was made with frozen chicken tenders like you would get in the grocery store, shredded lettuce that was probably intended for their hamburgers, and I think shredded American cheese rather than the cheddar I was hoping for. The pasta salad was 98% pasta and probably 2% salad. Everything was "OK", but definitely not great, and nothing you would ever crave when you're hungry. On top of the food, the TVs that line the walls are very inconsistent - some looked sharp and others looked old and faded, including the dimly lit large projection screen in the main viewing spot. On the bright side, our server Heather was a ball of fire, literally a blur as she moved from table to table, deftly addressing the needs of all her customers. She's one of the best servers we're had in recent memory. Heather is the reason my score is a 3 rather than a 2. I don't drink so I can't speak for the bar, for all I know if may be quite good. Considering they had a decent crowd on hand I'm guessing the drinks are the main attraction. But if you want to know what bar food tastes like, Gert's would make a good measuring stick for you. read more

I ordered a Rueben sandwich to go. It no doubt would have been better if I had eaten it there, but it was pretty mediocre. The people were really lovely, but the place needs a new vent pronto. I was there for just 5 minutes to pick up and pay, but I smelled like old frying oil when I left. , read more

My husband and I went to Gertz Grill for the first time upon recommendations from plenty of people that we didn't even really know. We got the club on Texas toast and the Smoke Stack on rye and both were PHENOMENAL. We were sad we didn't order the soup and the owner brought us out some potato soup to have and try and it was AMAZING. Service 10/10 food 10/10 read more

The food here is pretty good, it's bar food for sure but it's decent. Our schedule has been weird so it's been about a month since we were here last but, we do tend to go here a lot, especially on the weekends. This last visit however, we went to lunch on Wednesday. I attempted to order from the back of the menu. Not only did I forget but, I overlooked the fact they don't serve the items on the back of the menu until after 2pm Monday through Friday. Apparently this upset our servicer. She was short and snippy. So I took a few more minutes to order. When she came back my husband ordered French fries which again are part of the items not offered after 2pm. Again she was snippy when showing my husband the item that were available with his sandwich. The food was delivered by a different server which isn't a big deal. The problem was is that our server didn't check back with us for over 10 minutes, and my sandwich needed mustard. Had they been busy or she At least appeared to be trying I would have understood. The fact of the matter is she visited with staff add bussed tables instead. Yes table do need to be bussed, but there were a lot of empty tables. She barely looked our direction so flagging her down wasn't an option. I did stare at her for those 10 minutes but, apparently we were invisible. She finally came to the table when I put my nearly empty cup at the end of the table so I could get a refill. We do like the food here, but like won't be back for a little while. It's too soon for me to end up getting her as my server again. Despite her behavior, we did tip her. Granted it was only 10% vs the 20% we typically leave. It was clear she didn't care about tips. read more

Great service, food and ambiance. Gert's is a great place to go to alone or with friends because you always feel welcomed. The staff works hard to make sure that you are taken care of and have a great experience. Terrific food... Reubens ROCK, burgers are the best in town and Sandwiches are made like you would prepare at home. Plenty of TVs and sports channels to see the most popular sporting events. Very laid back and comfortable environment. It's the Cheer's of Johnson County. read more

This is a nice little local joint close to JCCC. It's been around for years and the burgers are very good. I'm not a smoker, so the smoking patio right outside the bar isn't great for me when all the locals go in and out and come back in smelling the place up like smoke. If you're a smoker, that won't be an issue. The crowd is very local and if you aren't a regular, they look at you weird (which can be a little uncomfortable), but the drinks and service were good. I would go back for a burger, but not going to be a regular. They must be doing something right to be in business for so many years. Cheers to the local places! read more

Gert's Is Our Lunch Time Treat For Our Work "Lunch Committee"! We've Been Here Twice And Both Times We Weren't Greeted But Decided To Seat Ourselves. Once We Were Seated The Waitress Did Come Over And She Was Very Kind And Helpful. Gert's Menu Consists Of An Array Of Sandwiches And A Few Soup Options That Come In A Bread Bowl. You Can Grab A Large Portion Of A Half Sandwich Combo With Soup And A Side For $12.29 Which Is Why Our Lunch Committee Enjoys This Place! I Ordered The TAC, Regular Potato Chips And The Southwest Enchilada Soup And It Was Perfect! The TAC Was Hot And Toasty And The Soup Was Creamy, Cheesy And Well Seasoned! There Is Enough Food If To Take To Go If You Wanted To. I Like The Relaxed Vibe Of Gert's And Feel Comfortable Going Again. The Place Seems Like It Can Be Fun During Game Days Especially Since The Drinks Are A Reasonable Price. Thank You Gert's! read more

Very cool little bar with great food. I've only been there for lunch and had a sandwich which was fantastic. I've been there several times for drinks after dinner and all the food that comes out looks amazing. Their drink specials are great and the bartenders (less one) are all friendly and willing to fill your glass. Definitely stop in. read more

My friend recommended this place to me so I went with him and some other buddies to determine if I could still be friends w him based on his recommendation. It was a fri night so we did expect it to be busy and it was fairly crowded. We were still able to find plenty of seating. I believe the crowd are made up of locals because the waitress who was working spoke to most of them as if she knew them. However she also looked very tired because she was the only one on the floor working. The food all came out fresh and hot and tasted great. it had good flavor but not overly salty either as some bar/grills can be. I was definitely in the mood for a sandwich and soup bread bowl so it worked out great. Its like going to Panera but being able to order beer with additional bar food options. Overall it provided a good atmosphere to get some bar food AND deli food and I will definitely be back read more

Gert's had the feel of a neighborhood sports bar with plenty of loyal customers known by the wait staff. I enjoyed a pretty good sandwich and fast service during my dine-in lunch. My "angel" sandwich on choice of bread and with choice of side ($9.29) was served just four minutes after I ordered at the table. The sandwich was nicely sized and stood 2-1/4" tall. I enjoyed the generous portion of premium, tasty, white turkey meat slices (no low rent deli slices) - mmm! The wheat bread was sliced thicker than normal and toasted - nice. I liked the thick slice of cheese, and the fresh tomatoes, but the menu called for sprouts on the sandwich and I received shredded lettuce. I'm not usually a macaroni salad fan because it can be rather bland, but this salad was pretty darn tasty. Of course, there were plenty of TVs (I counted 13 including the big screen), a large, horseshoe shaped bar, a game area, and background sound coming from the TVs, which were tuned to a sports channel. They offer a pretty good happy hour M-F 3-6 PM. I also noticed a small patio out front. I wish the lunch prices were lower, but overall, pretty good. read more

Best sandwiches and soups in Johnson County! Been going here for over 16 years. Very consistent. They order the bread special. Slice to order. Grill the sandwich's to give the bread a crispy outer. T.A.C. Is my fav. Turkey Avacado spread and cream cheese with alfalfa sprouts (Only if the are fresh. They source there own). Meats are top shelf. All good. Great service! It's a college bar from 80-90s vibe. Sporty. Very casual. read more

This place never disappoints, wonderful bar food and great drinks. Their severs are always friendly and provide great service.

Always a good lunch. We aren't regulars but any time we come back we get a quality product. My DH had the patty melt and said it was fabulous. He claims it had the perfect bun to bread ratio. The crinkle cut fries were ah-mazing. The only disappointment for me was they had no sprouts for my beef and brie sandwich. But still lunch was great and so was the service. It was a bit rowdy with K State fans but we still enjoyed it. read more

Local joints like Gert's Grille do well, not because they are known for their food, but because it is the neighborhood regulars. You know that this is that kind of place when the patrons know the names of the servers and have conversations about their kids and other neighborhood going ons. To have a review of their food is sort of beside the point then. So why do it? Because it was my first time there and I'm not a regular at any bar because I continuously like to try new things with my time. so, I don't know the names of my server, but she was a very nice person, even though she was one of two people working at the tables and the bar. The layout of the place is very open and it looks like the industrial plaza that it sits in. There is very little to make it look a homely place. I came to this place for the same reason I went to Tequila Harry's (see my other review), because I was waiting for a prescription at the nearby CVS and was hungry. Being happy hour, I ordered a $3 beer and their $11.99 club house special. With tax, it was in the $16's and with tip, it was $20. The beer was a bud, so I'm not going to write about it. I often prefer the cheapy beers when eating bar food so it was a decent deal. The sandwich was quite good, the materials were fresh and I liked that the lettuce was roughly shredded. It was served on Texas toast, which is always a bonus in my books. The weird thing about the food is that they don't serve sides that are also homemade, they give you either cottage cheese, macaroni salad or a bag of chips, all of which looks like they were bought at the Hen House next door. It is a let down, as most bars will give you either fries, tots or home made fries. It lessened the quality of the food, in my mind. If their sides were as good as the sandwich, I might have added another star but with that, the value was just average, at best. read more

Recently moved to the area and found Gert's. Has become our favorite for a quick bite (lunch or dinner). My husband loves the patty melt and I prefer a sandwich. I have tried many and can't decide which is my favorite. Definitely stop in if you are in the area. Very affordable, great service and terrific food. read more

Gerts is rightfully known for sandwiches and soups, but go for amazing hot wings and the burgers too. I don't know how I missed them prior and we now go there for all the above. Oh! The very best ranch dressing in town which is a big deal in my house. :-) Also, the service reflects a great hands on owner and it is obvious they have a very cohesive and caring crew. Well done! read more

This is a hidden gem!! People don't expect much food from a strip mall bar, but let me tell you if you get the chance stop in and have dinner or lunch!!

I've introduced several people to this place and everyone is amazed by the food!! read more

I have been craving a good soup and sandwich combo for a little bit. And I read a couple reviews that said Gerts had pretty good ones. So thought I would check them out. I walked into the place, and its a pretty basic bar and grill. Mostly Bar though. There are some tables scattered throughout a dining area, that is a little ways from the bar, but you can tell that at least in the afternoon, the main attraction here is the bar. The menu is pretty basic, but I decided on a Soup/Sandwich Combo. The sandwich I ordered had Turkey, Cheese, Bacon, and some sort of Garlic Aoili. The Soup I ordered was the special of the Day, and it was a Tomato soup with provolone cheese and basil. After I ordered, I only had to wait a few minutes before my order was delivered. The first thing I noticed, was the Soup was in a Bread Bowl, and it was soft and delicious. I dipped the top of my bowl in the soup and ate that immediately. I also noticed that the Bread on the sandwich looked very fresh and just higher quality than most sliced bread you get for a sandwich. I went back and forth eating the Sandwich and the Breadbowl of soup. The Bread for both items was soft and tasty. The sandwich outside of the bread was pretty basic, I think next time I would look more into a melt. The Soup was soooo delicious though, I could have probably eaten 3 bowls of that if I were given the chance. One thing I did notice, and Im not sure if this is a positive mark, or negative mark. But the only waitress was also the bartender. There happen to be about 15 men sitting on the stools surrounding the bar, and there were about 8 tables of people there to dine, or sit away from the bar. My waitress (Coleen) I believe her name was, did her very best to balance serving drinks at the bar, and taking orders and delivering all the food to the tables. There was another older man behind the bar, but all he did was chat with the bar patrons. I don't know if he was the owner, manager, or maybe off the clock, but this guy didn't lift a finger to help our waitress no matter how busy she was. She was a Rockstar though. I had to wait a bit longer for water refills, and for the check, but it still wasn't too bad in the end. read more

I must admit I wasn't expecting much. But what I found was one if THE BEST hamburger I have ever had! I got the mushroom Swiss burger. They use fresh beef and a large amount I might add! It was grilled perfectly, and served on a toasted bun. If judging from the burger alone this place would be five stars. The only reason I didn't give five stars was because of two things... The two star deduction is because of the following: 1. Place is run down and they had dirty tables left over after people had already left. If the owner would take more pride in the furniture, and cleanliness this place would be packed!! Carpet is dirty, and disgusting. 2. The French fries were obviously frozen out of a bag. Why can't they take a few extra minutes and fresh cut the potatoes? I just don't get it. read more

If you're looking for a lowkey place to watch any sports game, I highly recommend Gert's. It's small enough to feel like one of those small-town sports bars, but big enough to have an extensive list of food and drink options. The wait staff is always friendly and welcoming, and patient with indecisive people like me. Their food is delicious, from the appetizers to the burgers to the wings. I usually opt for the sandwich menu, the Angel is by far my favorite with the alfalfa sprouts and honey mustard, it's absolutely to die for. To top it all off, the bartenders make some of the best mules in the area. Gert's is all-around awesome, I always look forward to going. read more

Love this place. Great place to watch all your games. Best Rueben's ever, and even better service!

Much better than average food in a very friendly bar. Clean, open. TVs playing different games. Not loud, at least when we visited on a Friday night at dinner time. Wide variety of food choices. Very fast service (they weren't busy). I know this place has been there for a long time. Worth a visit for great sandwiches, beer, and conversation. Also, sandwiches large. Saved half for lunch next day! read more

The potato soup is delicious, the service is on point and the place is very cozy and ideal for an after work lunch.
