Great food and staff! It's great anytime but we make sure to make a stop here every St Patrick's day! Cool college town sports bar.

We came to KU and this restaurant was recommended by a student. We loved trying local food on Mass st and enjoyed the atmosphere of walking down the street and at the restaurant. This was casual and delicious. I loved the buffalo Mac n cheese. The bowl was a good amount and I was able to share it with my one year old. It was spicy, but not too much. We had drinks refilled and food came quick. Look at the pic of the cheesy goodness!! read more

My mom and I love coming here to eat! Their food is so good. Their fries are the best, and they give you plenty of them. I tried something new this time, I usually get their BLT (which is also really good), but I got their steakhouse burger today, which is apparently new, and it was so good. I ate the whole thing, which I only do with burgers if they're really good. The service is always fast, and the servers are very friendly. They have plenty of TVs, and the dollar bills on the wall that you can write on are a fun touch. We really like this place and highly recommend it. read more

Jefferson's is a staple on Mass street, it seems like it has been there, as long as I can remember, many options of flavors for wings, good sized cheeseburgers and a fun college atmosphere. Service was great, our waitress was very nice. Got the 18 piece boneless wings tried 3 different flavors. Better wings than the chains, I recommend this when your in Lawrence read more

My family enjoyed this spot. Food was great, fast and delicious. Good customer service. Parking was a major bust due to the lack of it, once you found good laptop had to pay for it. This spot doesn't have many pescatarian options, so be prepared, overall it was a chill spot. read more

Have not had a bad meal from Jefferson's. Love their salads and their firecracker shrimp has just the right amount of heat.

Fried pickles meh, mozzarella sticks meh, corn pretty good! I like the dollar bills on the walls very fun. Seems like a decent place to have a few beers (and some corn) read more

First time coming here. Such a beautiful place. Wanted one place to actually sit down and dine in at. Reese greeted me and was friendly and social throughout my entire visit. Ordered a burger, fries and wings which is what this place is known for and I thought they were delicious. Prices are fair. Bathrooms are clean. I do enjoy how this place is decorated. Located in the heart of the downtown area. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Staff was excellent. We got there when doors opened. 5 of us. Food was a little slow arriving at the table but as I said we were there when they opened and the cooks might not have been ready. I really like pork tenderloin sandwiches and I have not been able to find them in DFW so when I am traveling and see them in the menu I order them. This is as a good piece of pork but the spices in the covering we covering the flavor with an ingredient of unidentified spice. It was not bad but not enjoyable. I will not order there again. Never tasted similar spicing in a pork tenderloin sandwich. The side of onion rings well done as ordered were excellent . Many may like the foreign flavor on the sandwich so I gave it a 4 out if that deference. read more

The food was very good especially the mushrooms. I sat at the bar and also found the service good, especially Avery who took good care of us read more

Alyssa C knocked it out of the park! Food was great and so is the ambiance! Service was quick as well!

Food was so good and we had the best customer service from Mady - definitely asking for her everytime!

I went here with a group of friends and was impressed by the quick service. Our food was great and the environment was fun. Our server, Lily, handled our larger group well and we were all super impressed! read more

My experience was so awesome! My server Molly H. was amazing. She provided our food and drinks so well and was such a bubbly person! loved talking to her! read more

Visited Jefferson's today and was BLOWN AWAY by the service, food, and quality of experience overall. It was SO fun and our server, Megan, was so fun and friendly to us the whole time! We wanted for nothing!! We will be returning soon! read more

Great college bar and grill. Open late, good food. Nice service. The new Mac n cheese was pretty tasty. It had the right amount of their cheese sauce which was very creamy. The chicken was crispy despite all the bbq sauce on it. They know what they're doing here. Lawrence staple. You do have to try it out. read more

Onion rings and fried shrimp warm. Received a $3.50 discount. Should have sent it back. Will not return.

Decided to grab a bite to eat Jeffersons was packed there was no table when we walked in. The table appeared service was fast the order consisted of two orders of chicken wings in one order of tenders food was great service was great shout out to the server can't wait to go back. We also ordered fried jalapeños as appetizers with fried pickles and had alcohol beverages I didn't spend that much money. read more

From the wings to the vibe of this sports bar I enjoy everything about this restaurant. Ours closed down in Mascoutah, but this one feels just like home read more

I didn't have the highest of expectations for this place, but they were open late and we were hungry. The burgers and fries were actually very good and reasonable enough in price. The jalapeño burger was perfect. However, when we walked in around 9:45 on a Saturday, the place was mostly empty and about 5 waitresses were congregating around the bar. Not necessarily an issue, except many of the tables weren't cleaned, and it took several minutes for a server to greet us and bring menus. The employees were also DJ-ing explicit music, which is a little off-putting for a restaurant with a kids menu. The food was good and the vibe was just okay. I'll probably come here again at some point. read more

Chill college town bar and grill. We stop in often, when in town for business. The service can be hit and miss. We have had some of the friendliest and greatest food servers at times and at other times, servers that have horrible attitudes and act like they are doing you a favor. They have a large menu to choose from. Their Wings are good and they run specials each day. Would rate the food at 4 stars, but average it out to a 3 due to the inconsistency of service and some of the servers that need to check their attitudes. read more

A must go. We had the fried mushrooms and they came out quick and we're amazing. A little longer wait for the wings about 20 minutes but So worth the wait. We will drive the 39 minutes to come back here for good wings. Must go here. read more

The best wings in Lawrence hands down. Burgers aren't bad either. Service is okay. If there super busy I suggest coming back later or maybe the next day. read more

I am a regular at Jeff's and it has never disappointed! Emma B and Natalie are wonderful servers and always go above and beyond. I'm a big fan of the shrimp basket and the wings‼ would definitely recommend read more

You know how that reminder to review a place has been sitting on your Yelp home page for awhile? Yea, that's what I've been seeing for at least a couple of months. Torn about what's going on here but in the end after talking with other dining friends, I think the Yelp community has nailed it with 3.5 stars. No way 4, no way 2, though can't be sure about the latter. The promise of walking in the door is that it's a very inviting space, lots of TVs and interesting decorations with all the odd money tacked to the wall. Screams fun. And if you're into the watering hole, sports bar kind of environment I could see this being a great place to watch a game. Service was adequate. We ordered burgers and they arrived looking like a million bucks, spot on 5 star for appearance and how they were presented. But that first bite, oy. The meat with the moisture sucked out of it was jarring. Ketchup. More ketchup. Didn't help. The fries a tad on the dry side. More beer. More beer. Didn't help. Alas, the fried pickles were good but the dipping sauce, overloaded with salt. We could have just had the beer and pickles and been done I suppose. Some folks like this kind of fare but it's not for me. There are 2-3 really high quality burger joints with fantastic fries (sweet potato, duck fat, fire, etc.) within a few steps of here that almost never miss, so for my money I probably won't be back. Maybe just an off night when the cook was more interested in their phone, but to serve a decent burger than overcooked and do it twice is enough for my experience. read more

Went this weekend not as packed as I expected after a game. Wings were solid but not as crispy as I had prior. Some of individuals at the table had what looked like a KFC Chicken bowl. They said was good I a not oatmeal fan if mixing all those items. Bone in and doubled dipped are my strong recommendation on way to order. Lots of long tables and not great craft beer selection. read more

Visited on a Tuesday night a little after 8. They appeared to be steady, but had plenty of friendly staff helping customers. Standard bar environment. I ordered the jefferson burger and onion rings. The burger rad excellent. The onion ring la were fine. Not a ton of seasoning in the batter and the batter was a bit crumbly. Overall, good place. read more

Wings double dipped! Regular hot on the side. Oyster are small but the Buffalo was my favorite until they discontinued making them.

We went to this PLACE yesterday afternoon, 2 or 2:40PM. Ordered And waited about 10 to 15 minutes. The waitress came by to check. Waited another 10 to 15 minutes. I went to the back and was told the computer was broke down. Our food would be ready soon. About 5 minutes later, the waitress came out and told OUR TICKET would be printed soon! I lost it and informed her I wasn't going to eat THE TICKET. WTF does a ticket have to do with being served??!! There is no reason for this! IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. read more

Best wings in town. Love double dipped flats! Fries good as well and service is always great. Now i have not been to henry ts in a while for wing night so will go soon and compare! read more

Had a great lunch at Jefferson's. The food was good, the beer was cold and our waitress Rachael was amazing! She took great care of us and was super bubbly! We will definitely be back. read more

This is a visitor's "must go." Beer is big and tasty (Tina if choices). The wings are famous, crispy and nicely seasoned, nachos pretty good - with gigantic slices of fresh jalapeño, and chef salad plentiful! The atmosphere is very casual and collegiate without being grungy. We'll go again! read more

We recently dined here. Food was delicious and our server Molly was amazing! We will definitely be back!

I absolutely love this place, food is delicious. However that is the only positive review I can give. The workers here are absolute bitches who just sit on their phones in the back and look at you like you are dumb when you talk to them. All spoiled white sorority girls who couldn't care less about there customers. One time there was young men there and every single female worker was over there flirting with them as if they are pretty. This same time it took over 50 minutes to get my food and it was not busy. Jefferson's management, seriously reconsider hiring bitches in college. Absolutely absurd all of you suck. Foods good tho! read more

They aren't lying when they say this place has the best wings in town, but I say burger too! The wings were just right I got half Caribbean and Hot and the Hot is best...maybe because it's a classic? I'm not sure. I got the classic Cheeseburger and fries basket for $5 as a welcome back to KU special for students. My husband I came to this location after I got out of class on a Wednesday night and all of the male staff are great, but I can't say the same for females. I have now been to both Jefferson locations twice for Wakarusa and 3x for downtown; and the Wakarusa location has great staff all around, just not as busy. The downtown location Male bartenders are engaging and fun, while the female servers and bartenders don't really seem to want to be bothered by other females. I caught this vibe twice ordering a carry out order. Once my friend ordered because I encouraged her to for .85 cent wing Wednesday. When we walked in nobody greeted us, and we had to ask the Bartender if she could cash out her to-go order because she was helping all of NO customers. Ha. The second time I just had a craving for a good burger and the same thing happened, walked in and no greeting and had to ask to cash out. (ALL women staff) At this point I just decided it was best to wait in the car and let my husband get my food for me. I am disappointed to only rate this great restaurant 4 stars, and to write about poor attitude from women because I am a feminist. Maybe if Jefferson's cared about their hiring process just as much as the food production this place would be a WIN-WIN. read more

I went to Jefferson's tonight. Today was a KU football game day. We got there a little after 8 pm. It was still pretty crowded but we were able to get one of the last tables right away. Our waitress was ok. She kept forgetting to bring us water. We asked twice and then gave up. She did finally bring it about 7-8 minutes later. I ordered 10 hot wings and fries, my fiancé ordered the fries buffalo chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese as his side. The Mac and cheese is an additional $1.50. My wings were good. They could have used more sauce as some had some dry sauceless spots. The fries were good too! They were crispy and well seasoned. The ranch here is so thick. It's like cement. I had to put water in mine to thin it out. My fiancé said his sandwich was great! He said it was well sauced and the crunch of the lettuce really elevated it! He liked his Mac and cheese. I tasted it and thought it was disgusting. The noodles were so over cooked and mushy and the cheese tasted watery and just gross. But he liked it and that's all that mattered. Overall, we had a decent experience and good food! Jefferson's is a pretty safe choice! read more

Food was amazing but our server Megan is really what stuck out. She was fantastic with my children and got everything out to us on time. EXTREMELY sweet too. read more

First time in KC, stopped in and was met with mediocre service. The food was good not great. I definitely agree with the other reviews on Yelp regarding service; but the food is okay not horrible.... We ordered wings (double dipped, and lemon pepper) loaded fries, fried pickles and mozzarella sticks. Nothing fancy just good ole comfort food. Lastly if you're in a hurry this is NOT the place for you!! It took our food forever to come out. We were hoping to see more of the city after lunch but our hopes for driving around were cut short due to our extended visit at Jefferson's. Solid 3 stars here! read more

The shrimp tacos either grilled or fried are amazing! Along with the service from Phiefer!
