Spotted this place while charting my course to a FedEx drop-off. Banners, weathered patio... hell yeah, count me in. I navigated my way through the entrance and was relieved to find the whole foyer rigged with stickers--always a promising sign. The bar area delivered exactly what I needed since shipping out from the dive bar capital of the world: a long-beaten-to-hell counter with beautiful chaos anchored everywhere. Seated near the open kitchen, I caught one of the cooks lamenting a customer who wouldn't heed his wisdom on the economic alternative--that's the mark of a crew that knows their craft. The bartender, a properly insubordinate young mate, greeted me with genuine warmth, worked fast, and tossed the menu with just the right amount of swagger. The offerings were solid, and I was torn between pizza and the large Marge, but I set my compass for a burger instead. It arrived exactly as described--perfect. This place is plunder for people like me. read more

Sat in the bar area. Slow service with 4 people at the bar who waited on themselves. Smash burger was not smashed but perfectly premade edges. Cubano sandwich was definitely made and constructed with premade deli meat. No thanks- no need to come back. Nothing here to see - keep moving onto something better! read more

I always love hitting up the local spot for a bit and drink. If you have never been here before, keep your eyes peeled as it is disguised as a neighborhood house. It has ample patio seating and the inside is full of character. The best part is the food. I always make sure to bomb whatever I get with a heaping pile of cheesy tots. read more

Cool little hole in the wall place! I've driven past a couple times and it never seems to have many cars but someone finally convinced me to stop by and let me tell you, it's pretty good. We decided to have an early dinner so we were there at like 4:30 and the only customers. You can pick where you sit and they also have outdoor seating with little spring horses for kids to ride on. Waitress took our order and food came out pretty quick. Mozzarella sticks were standard, nothing too special or remarkable. Now the pizza slice, I tried the KC Hunna BBQ which is their bbq Hawaiian pizza and let me tell you, it was huge! I saved room so I was able to eat the whole slice but don't be afraid to have leftovers. It's a thin crust because it's NY style but it doesn't come out burnt, just a little crisp. So much flavor and plenty of meat, I also choose no jalapeños since I'm not a fan. I also tried a tater tot and those are well seasoned so I'd also expect their fries to be seasoned as well. The only issue I had was it being quite warm, but for an open kitchen and the heat index being 115, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I will definitely be back to try more pizza, and I'll make good use of their big parking lot and bring some friends! read more

This hasn't been our favorite outing here. Staff smoking outside by customer tables gave us an instant headache. We come here because there is no patio smoking by customers. Our favorite drink, The Ghost, was removed from the menu. We ordered the French 103, but was lemon loaded so asked for Grapefruit Blossom instead which was a strange quantity pour in a large plastic cup, but much a much better drink. They still have our favorite Cali BLT & tater tots. Staffing wasn't regular enough when it comes to drinks. We sat quite a long time and then gave up and agreed to get the check when they came around. Unfortunately, we got charged for two drinks with the servers relaying from someone "that's just how it is". They did offer us to talk with the manager which was the right answer and one we don't normally pursue. Jordan, the manager, was extremely easy to communicate with and very appreciated hearing about staff smoking as they aren't supposed to smoke outside by the customers. He indicated my ask to change my drink after one taste was very appropriate and I shouldn't have been charged twice which he took care of. While this wasn't our normal good outing, with Jordan's attention to our concerns we will try again for a casual outing outside; especially because he said my drink is coming back at Halloween read more

Sandwich's are just awesome! Meatball sandwich and pork bbq were delicious. Service was quick friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking. Place is family friendly and can hold larger groups. They also serve so much more so check out the menu and enjoy. read more

I ordered takeout-- two slices of NY pizza (cheese). Both were dry and burnt, like cardboard. Couldn't even see the sauce! It was like they made it the day before and kept it warm. Very disappointed. Service was good, though. read more

All three of us came in and had Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. One of us tried the pastrami/prime rib cheesesteak. The other others all had the traditional. They have a nice portion of meat on a, slightly larger than a hotdog bun, hoagie roll. The smoke of the housemade pastrami was nice. Highly recommend getting extra cheese because who doesn't love a cheesesteak really cheesy? We enjoyed their potato chips. However, their tots are nicely done and you can order toppings that make them stellar. Service was on point. We got there right around when a large group arrived, but there was not a long wait. As usual, as we're walking in the restaurant, we can tell people are having lots of fun in their outdoor area. That's a must try for us sometime when it's a little cooler. read more

Pretty neat place with lots of character! I had the Cubano and it was excellent although the chips are a little stale. Chris had the Mommy Pastrami and he said it was just okay although it looked really good. Rhi had the West Clubber with tater tots. It was her 2nd time here and she ordered the same items as she said she really liked the combo. Service was quick and our server was attentive. read more

I love this place. I love the atmosphere and the building. So close to the hotel I tend to stay in while I am in KC. I really wanted to try one of their steak/cheese sandwiches but was so in the mood for pizza on this night that i tried 3 different slices. It was so very good! read more

Walking into the area where the front door is brings you to a different vibe , the pathway to what ??? .... Love it , walked onto the restaurant , love the old world charm all the wood . Very nice ! Server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu , answered many questions . The menu is very large but manageable (coming from a management perspective ) on to the food !!!! OMG !

Unique location that serves good food. Everyone I have brought enjoys it and I will be coming back

Grinders is fantastic! Great service and the food is amazing! Burgers, pizza... they have it all! I've eaten here twice now and both meals were great. This last time we ate outside, the patio is awesome. My burger was cooked well, and was quite tasty. The soft pretzel really stole the show. The app platter was a great option, give it a try! read more

Such a hidden gem! The outdoor patio had such a great atmosphere, the pizza was amazing, and the beer selection was really good too. Everything we had was wonderful and the staff was super friendly. I can't believe I never knew this place was here before definitely one of those spots you'll want to keep coming back to! read more

I was craving some pizza and some tater tots so why not have both combined. Grinders offers a cute outside patio area as well as indoor seating and a bar. My one complaint is our order did take what seemed like a while but not too terribly long. We ended up ordering the Le hog which comes with a creamy white sauce, bacon, Canadian bacon, ham, and meatballs. We then added the world famous chili bomb, which includes chili cheese, whiz, and scallions on the middle of our pie. The pizza was delicious and I will be back again very soon. read more

I don't understand how Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives rated the Philly cheese steak so highly. It was packed with beef, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions, but it had no flavor whatsoever and it was very dry. I gave three stars because the crispy tater tots were very tasty. I don't believe I'd go back though. read more

So we seen many good reviews for the pizza and were very excited to try it! Place has a great feel to it! Started with wings which were very good. Now the pizza. Came out and looked great! We took on bite and something did not taste right! Then realized the cheese was not mozzarella. Too find out it was a 4 cheese blend! We felt it was a quality pizza but the cheese really takes away from it being a great pizza. Asked waitress if next time we could get it with mozzarella and she no . We were really disappointed as we thought we finally had found our Friday night pizza place!! Staff was great ! read more

Absolutely addictive NY Style pizza and wings, always consistent and never disappointing!

Pizza was burned and had very little cheese. Very disappointed... overbaked. Would not recommend.

Amazing bar food and good selection. I've never been upset with what I've gotten and it isn't busy around lunch time. Good vibes and good experiences every time! read more

One of the best outdoor patios in OP, it feels like a picnic in a park! We've been coming here for the last 5 years since we moved into the area. It's a great neighborhood place with solidly good wings, pizza and calzones. It has been awhile and on this visit there was a new menu so I decided to try some new items. Tried the Candied BLT which was incredible and I highly recommend it. Also, had their Philly DDD special and that was also excellent. Service is always good and quick. Falafel app was pretty good but on the smaller side. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of parking. Casual dining with a good beer and drink selection as well. read more

Stonewall is a great option for meh food and a great happy hour drink special. Staff is always nice. I've tried almost the full menu over the years and now just stick to the wings and drinks. My biggest beef with Stonewall is the FLIES. There are so many flies and they are hungry! I don't know if the grease trap is full or if there is a sewage leak underground, but just put out some cheap fans and it should at least help! I've seen some pretty wild things in Stonewalls backyard while eating. Last night we saw two pigeons fighting to the death. A few weeks ago I watched a snake stalk a robin and eat its eggs, and then kill the robin. Wild town. If Stretch was wanting to start another show, maybe Wild Food, by Stretch. For some reason they cut the tips of the ketchup bottles. So instead of a small hole, it's a big hole. Refer to my note about the flies. Ya, I once had a ketchup bottle absolutely LOADED with dead flies. So I always check it now or just ask for a packet. read more

Great place if you want the thinnest sliced pizza that you'll find in most places in the US. The cost is paper thin so you don't eat all the carbs and you can eat it by the slice so you don't have to buy whole pie. They also have vegetarian options and they have meat lovers options also. The staff and managers were very helpful and friendly. There's a bar area and then there's other seating on the other side. All right that it feels like a lodge inside with lots of wood. And you can bring your own stickers to stick on the wall at the entrance and leave your mark. I would love it if they put more mozzarella cheese evenly spread instead of some areas, and I would love it if their red Sauce for the pizza sauce was more filled with fresh tomato sauce and tomatoes versus the paste. Parking is free and ample and they also have parking for bikes and Tesla charging. The grinders pub ale was good because it was tasty w a caramel flavor. read more

I have been coming here since I was a little girl and I have not once been disappointed in 23 years. The summertimes here are filled with live music, the patio full, + children running around the yard. It feels like a big family backyard party then anything else, or maybe that's just the way I've always remembered it! (; The food is BOMB! Absolutely delicious + a great go-to local spot for anyone in the area! There menu has a lot of great options + I don't think you would regret any choice you made here! I highly recommend the mozzarella sticks, the cubano, the pig squealer, le hog pizza, + the diablo burger! Service is always standard + great! Nothing special nothing bad! Just a perfect stop for a bite to eat! read more

Grinders Stonewall - Patio Seating! - Pizza Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

Great food, fun atmosphere, wonderful service! This is a Grinders that we come back to frequently! It's a fun place to take the kids, because of the "back yard" area that has some toys, sand, corn hole, and room to run off the wiggles. The patio seating is also spacious and fun. There is a wide selection of food and drinks available, that shifts just off center for regular bar food to make it more tasty and interesting than a lot of places. The staff here is always friendly and attentive, even when they are packed and busy. There are times when bands play in the back yard area, and times when it's just fun to get a couple drinks and play corn hole with friends. Love this location, and visit frequently!! read more

Me and some others came in tonight only because we had a buy one get one deal. When we were served, the worker was under 21 and could not recommend us any drinks, and did not know anything about the drink menu. We asked for two ipas and both were out (not noted anywhere). The person who had the deal accidentally clicked the redeem button while in the restaurant and our server immediately denied it from us even though there was a timestamp and location in the history of the app he used showing that it was an accident and was not truly redeemed. We wasted money on a place we didn't even really want to go to and now we will not be coming back. Service was ok otherwise but the lack of understanding or willingness to look into the situation put a bad taste in our mouths and wasted a Christmas gift. read more

This bar has a lot going for it - daily food and drink specials, a happy hour, specialty drinks, many tap beers, a nice inside seating area, a spacious patio, a spacious grassy area, live music events and trivia nights. I tried their pizza by the slice during my dine-in lunch visit. My two one-topping slices ($4.25 each) were served just nine minutes after I ordered at the table. They were generously sized at 10" x 10" with a thin, chewy crust that was crunchy at the edge, a reasonable number of toppings, a somewhat tangy sauce, and cheese that was flavorful and somewhat greasy. The mushroom slice was very good, but the pepperoni slice was very salty. I found the service to be efficient and attentive, while the clean, wood-toned dining area had classic rock background music (not too loud). Overall, very nice! read more

If you are looking for just another chain pizza or sandwich place, this is not the place to try. Grinders is churning out some of the best original menu items that the Crossroads area had to offer, and now they have brought that to JoCo in the old Stonewall Inn space. Having been several times, it is high time I tell others why. First, great food. Next, you pick. Environment, variety, live events (think trivia), killer patio space, etc. Grinders takes their Crossroads vibe and fits it nicely into a suburban spot. You can do their rather legendary pizza (by the slice or sharing to be nice) or sample a robust menu. Add in daily drink specials and some of the friendliest bar staff in town and you simply can't go wrong. To me, what makes their pizza is their sauce, known as 'Rockin' Red'. It simply makes everything better. You can get one of their kicked up slices, or you can make your own, and the slice size is roughly the size of your face. One slice is a meal for most people. You can get pizza to go, and their curbside service is outstanding. We are fans of the 'Leavitt', which while being sans meats, is a phenomenal pie. Even their BBQ is worth the choice. The Mixon and the Squealer, one with brisket and the latter with pulled pork, are done right and served with local sauce. But if you're feeling your oats and are wearing loose pants, then you can give the Big A$$ Smash burger a whirl. At that point, calories aren't important, so load it with cheese and bacon and pair it with a side. It's a *lot* of burger, and done really well. If the weather is right, then I highly suggest the patio, a broad brick expanse with some minimal traffic noise. A great way to enjoy a beer or Bloody Mary (their local craft beer selection is legit and rotates), the patio has some string lighting for the evening or umbrellas for when the sun is shining. Either way, Grinders inside and out is a total win. read more

Ok this is hard to write because the house salad and pizza were very good. We came in on a busy night and wait was 20-30 min so grabbed a drink. This place was busy and servers were serving food very fast. We get seated and ordered the house salad with ranch on the side (1 small container) and Le Hog pizza and both of these were incredible. Here's where it went downhill. We asked for silverware and received 1, we needed a couple more for our dinner, never received them and asked 3X. I also asked for one more container of dressing, never received it but was charged on my bill. We felt like we were being punked but weren't this server didn't give a shit, very obvious Also to refill our waters and that never happened, it's like they just stopped serving ppl and they place was half full. This was reflected in her tip so whatever & included the issues on our bill Won't eat in the restaurant after this but will do carry out. It's amazing if she paid attention to us bc we will tip 25% for good service read more
