    Dozen Boneless Wings 18" Custom Pizza
    Kael G.

    This place is something else... the food is absolutely wonderful and you can't go wrong with ANYTHING! From the Pizza to the shrimp tacos it is all amazing. Our server was very tentative and was always checking up on us making sure we're good and drinks stayed full. A wonderful ambiance not too loud but not too quiet small talk going on at the bar it's just an awesome place to be. HIGHLY RECOMMENED!

    Sweet potato fries

    Disappointed! Guess I got the bottom of the Sweet potato fry basket. Lots of small & random pieces. Also, paid for a dozen wings & got a small bit of blue cheese. Definitely won't "cover" 12 wings. What if I had ordered the half dozen, would I have gotten any blue cheese? I did enjoy the beer while waiting. But the food was a disaster, especially for $20!

    Best Nashville hot chicken I've had yet. Load up on the ranch and it's the best in LFK. Johnny's is always a favorite.

    We went on a quiet Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy. It was dark and cold feeling. The food was just okay to me. But seems like a fun place to go with friends if you just want to drink.

    Fun staff and atmosphere, with lots of choices on tap. The food looked amazing, though we stuck to drinks.

    Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Here's my post game review from Lawrence at Wayne and Larry's. If you're…read morelooking for a spot with great vibes and enough screens to satisfy any sports fan, this is it. Here's the breakdown of the experience: The Atmosphere & Eats It's a bit of a "conjoined twin" setup--bar on one side, bowling alley on the other. Clean, cool, and perfect for game day. The Burgers: Most are hefty half-pounders. I opted for a smaller 1/3 lb version of their Hot & Spicy (jalapeños, grilled onions, bacon, and a killer specialty hot sauce). Huge shoutout to the staff for letting me sub the smaller patty onto a different burger--super accommodating! The Sides: Crinkle-cut fries were solid, though they could've used an extra 30 seconds in the fryer for that elite crunch. The "Local Flavor" (The Drama) The only downside? The "day-drinking regulars." One guy was stumbling so hard he tripped over an elderly couple's walker and sent their drinks flying. The husband was ready to throw hands, and while security stepped in to de-escalate, they let the drunk guy stay. Pro-tip: Maybe keep an eye out for the "stumbling regulars" if you're sitting near the walkway. The Verdict The food is tasty and the staff is flexible, but the "neighborhood bar" antics can get a little messy

    The beer was cold and the food was fresh. Thank you for beating our expectations. Will come back.read more
