Chicken gnocchi rustico
Dana H.

I'll start by saying the food was great. I had a seasonal dish, the Chicken Gnocchi Rustico and tried the Meatloaf. Both were very flavorful and delicious. However, the place in general was dirty. I went to the restroom which looked like it hadn't been serviced in days and after the people left the booth across from us, they cleaned it off and put new silverware out, but there was still a napkin on a seat and several pieces of trash under the table. Our service was okay but pretty slow given that it wasn't really busy.

Seared Salmon Pesto
Jillie M.

I was impressed this visit, something wonderful has changed here!! We arrived at 6pm restaurant was just starting to fill up. Deck doors were open with a musician playing outside. They have a large bar area. Food was outstanding and great prices. We will be back! I had the Seared Salmon Pesto which was incredibly good!!

CHICKEN PARMESAN
David L.

Stopped in here with some friends for an evening meal. Service at the table was prompt and helpful with suggestions. Drink order came out in a quick order as well as food. I got the chicken parm and it was cooked to perfection and was a large portion. Only complaint I heard from our table was some of the food was a bit under seasoned.

Meatloaf (hidden under the onion strings)
Russ G.

First time at this Houlihans location. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and even brought me some simple syrup for my iced tea, as she agreed with me that sugar doesn't really dissolve will in the cold tea. I had the meatloaf, which was more a mustard glazed, rather than a ketchup glazed loaf that I'm used to. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as other meatloafs I've eaten. I tried a bite of my wife's pot roast and noted that I will order it next time. It was very tasteful.

1/2 prime dip sandwich with au jus and coleslaw and a creamy horseradish sauce/spread.

Food - French Onion Soup may be best in town but for French Market/Cafe Provence Service - Good at the bar at least Ambiance - Dark Bar vibes Came back on 8/28/24 for ONLY the french onion soup (avoid the Mac and Cheese) this time. Delivered well for a quick mid-afternoon bite with an Iced tea of sorts. Great soft in-the-broth croutons, and caramelized onions, plenty of seared cheese on top and around the bowl, great broth taste.

This one was presented well and tasted a little better but still not an easy and enjoyable drink.
Elle R.

Greeting from the host was warm and inviting, the gentleman had a nice smile and positive attitude. Our server on the other hand, she couldn't care less about her customers or her tips! She left us unattended for 90% of our visit which frustrated me beyond belief! It's never the hosts responsibility to hunt down a server but she literally left us with no other choice. I chose to come to Houlihan's specifically for their mock-tail offerings, they have two. Both were horrendous!!! I had informed the server at the very beginning of our visit that I would like to order soup after having my drinks, she took all of our menus, dirty dishes, etc at one point and just never returned.

Don't miss the creme brule!

Outstanding food and service! The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection. We were seated promptly. It was a lovely environment. Eyon provided excellent service and Jim, the manager, made sure we were well taken care of!

Calamari (a little dry) and crab dip (delicious)
Jonelle W.

My friends and I visited around Christmas time. The food was a hit or miss but our server was very helpful and informative. Place was clean and quiet.

3 course chicken dinner 1/2 portion!

Limitless Brewing - A pretty wide variety, not JUST IPAs like most of KC. Here's a stout and a very flavorful sour.

I can't say enough good things about this brewery! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly,…read morethey have a variety of beers on tap to suit a wide array of palates, the space is welcoming (although I'm very excited for the new location and even more space). We love the music on Sunday afternoons, and the food trucks/bands during the weekend. We love events like cookie decorating and pumpkin carving that they host! I appreciate that they give back to the community (Sundays with a "Pourpus" where part of each beer purchase is donated to a local charity for example), we adopted a puppy on one of those days! We've been coming since they opened and it's been really fun to see how they've grown in the last several years!

But you're coming for the beer, and the beer is really great. Limitless has gone from a location in a light office park to its own standalone building, complete with patio and plenty of space. There are generally half a dozen or more of their own craft brews on tap ranging from IPA through porter/stout. You may have even had some of their flagship beers elsewhere, such as JoCo Juice, a hazy IPA or Rolling in the Deep, a double New England IPA. I myself go for malt over hop, so I find their Marzen to be one of my favorite beers. If they have their Mexican lager on tap, then I also suggest sampling that as well. A flight of four runs you $14-ish and is a great value, as the sample sizes give you plenty of opportunity to really get a feel for their offerings. If you find something you really like, then you can take four-packs home to go in cans. Limitless is open almost every day, at least until 7:00 and when the weather is nice, the patio was a must do. There are frequently people playing a board game or just enjoying the space, and while I don't want this to be just another noisy space, they could do with maybe a TV or two more. But that is just me being picky and since they are in the neighborhood, I like visiting whenever I can.

I was looking forward to a pot pie, nope they no longer serve them. I've posted the correct menu. I ordered a cheeseburger with onion rings, which the cheeseburger was great. The onion rings came out cold, so I sent them back. I received a new order and they were good, but comparing the 2 they looked like 2 totally different onion rings. I have pictures comparing them below. The other 2 people in my party ordered the special, which was chicken fried chicken. Both the chickens were over cooked to where the breading was crispy burnt. Mashed potatoes were homemade and good. The waitress was not very attentive. We would ask for things (refills) and she would forget about us. The place wasn't very busy when we were there and it was during the week. Just disappointed...

The place was fairly crowded and noisy at 6pm on a Saturday. The drinks were priced well and our waitress was awesome. We ordered a side of fries to get some food in our belly and we certainly won't make that mistake again - processed mashed potatoes formed into fat spiral shapes are not French Fries!!! My only complaint. After the concert we crossed back over the tracks and paid $5 cover charge for more drinks and to listen to Dating Sarah - fantastic cover band that had the place rocking at 10pm. We stayed for 2 sets and had a great time. I really liked the old school dive bar vibe in an old building that seemed out of place for Johnson County's upper middle class suburban aesthetic. A repeat return for all my future Green Guitar events and maybe some pizza next time - and for the love of god Jerry, get a new french fry distributor.

Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!
