    12" with just Italian sausage. Perfect. No flop.

    Great food. Pizza is top notch. Very good New York style char crust pizza. Well balanced toppings. Burgers and sandwiches rock. Get onion ring fry combo for side. Can't go wrong. I have been to several Johnny's. All great. Olathe I go the most and never disappointed. Service is very pleasant and attentive. Laid back sports bar.

    The service at this location was great and the Wednesday night special of chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy was awesome for a bar.

    Barbecue Chicken Pizza

    A decent sports bar that's a chill place to relax and watch a game. They have lots of TVs all over the place and the tables are set up pretty well for viewing. The hosts were kind, and the waitress was nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the food falls a bit flat. I got the Wilson's wings with fries and they weren't bad, but they are a bit expensive for six wings and fries. The barbecue chicken pizza was pretty dry and did not have a whole lot of flavor or texture. The other meals seemed about on par with these ones. Still a fun environment to catch up with some friends, just don't expect the greatest food.

    Kylie is AWESOME! Food never disappoints!! Great daily specials!! Clean restrooms, restaurant. Service with a Smile!!

    The Hamburger Is very good but the fries were not great and the ice cream too was good

    If I was Dave Portnoy I'd give this a 2.0 - undercooked pizza. More grease than a middle schooler on the bus ride home

    I've been coming here off and on for more than 13 years, first because it was close to my office at the time, and later as a local resident. The service and food has always been absolutely solid with great specials, especially the Chef's Tuesday Mexican special which always draws a crowd. Pizza is New York style and really great, burgers are always terrific. The chef's special on Friday is usually a home-run too. I grew up in central KS in a town of 4,000 people, and this is as much of a local bar as you can get - if you even visit occasionally, the staff knows your name and you know theirs; over time you'll meet a ton of patrons that call this place home.

    It's beyond good bar food. The hamburgers are huge as are their draft beers and you can't turn your head without seeing a big screen tv.

    I tried two different pizzas and both had no flavor. If you are in the mood for pizza do yourself a favor and consider going somewhere else.

    Decided to visit Brewbakers because I wanted a good lunch and a solid drink on this Saturday…read moreafternoon. I saw they had $4 vodka Red Bulls, and that solidified my want to come here even more. I didn't order an appetizer because I wanted to get straight to the food. I went with the Fried Clucker and a side of waffle fries. This sandwich was unbelievable huge..smothered in their house sauce, which tasted like a milder version of buffalo sauce. I thought the flavor was good, but the fried skin was falling off the chicken. Every time I cut a piece, the breading would just slide right off. Maybe they need to brine the chicken better to help it stick more but it was no biggie, it still had a good flavor. My boyfriend ordered the chicken-fried chicken, and honestly... nothing too special about it. The mashed potatoes that came with it were flavorless at first, but once we added salt and pepper, they were tasty. Now, I get that this is a bar and grill, so I'm not trying to be overly critical or nit-picky but in that category, Brewbakers definitely ranks on the higher end. This is hands down the best bar and grill I've tried when it comes to food. They even serve Jambalaya here.. what kind of bar and grill do you ever see serving this?? Would I come back? Of course! It is out of the way where i usually am, but im excited to come back and try other things off their menu.

She was more interested in hanging out with friends in the corner booth on her phone than worrying about customers. Not personable, and we waited what seemed like forever to find her to ask for the check. The place was not crowded so there was no reason to not be on top of it. Maybe some training would be encouraged. I have worked in customer service for many years, and this experience could definitely have improvements.

Parking was ample outside and we came in right about dinner time. We were sat immediately and I soon had a nice red beer. The cheese burgers were the special, so I opted for one of those with fries + the "my girlfriend isn't hungry" add of a couple chicken strips and some extra fries. The burger was perfect, but I've gotta say...for being a place called *Burg* and Barrel, their chicken strips are the best. They're juicy, the breading is fantastic, and they're always just really high quality. We came in while they were starting the trivia night deal, which I couldn't care less about, but if that's something you're a fan of...it's a thing here. Overall it was just another fantastic meal at the best burger/brew chain in the KC area.

The space has a really nice, open layout, and our server was fantastic and incredibly attentive. Our eyes immediately went to the shake menu, and our server was nice enough to let us split a cinnamon roll shake, serving it up in two separate glasses for us. For food, my buddy got the tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't one of those cartoonishly dinosaur-sized portions you see at some places, but he said it was really tasty and well worth it. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with garlic aioli, and it hit the spot. The burger was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were perfectly seasoned, and the bun was toasted (always a nice bonus). Even the fries were perfectly crispy. All in all, I was very pleased with the meal. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu!

Luckily we went to an event that ended at Jefferson's and were able to try a variety of their appetizers. We also found out that they have their own house made beers! If the outside had shown this was a brewery, we absolutely would have come sooner. I am a fan of their wheat, and my fiancé enjoys their IPA. We have been three times total now. Each time we are able to find a seat quickly and the service has been prompt and friendly. Sometimes we just come for appetizers. This last time I enjoyed their grilled chicken Caesar salad, while my fiancé had their chili and a dozen oysters. He had a half dozen classic and a half dozen Cajun. Highly recommend the Cajun! I've never had flavored oysters before. Basically, give this place a shot. It's a great place to either start or end your day at the park.
