Easily one of the BEST wings I've ever had in KC. These jumbo wings tasted sooo good! I got the lemon pepper and ooooweeee! I wanted to go back there and ask what the chefs were doing!! We went on a Saturday night before a night out and it was perfect for a pre turn up. They had a live band from Nashville which was so cool! They sang songs that we suggested! They also have a deal now where you listen to the red solo cup song and all well drinks are $1. Best deal on a Saturday night! You can't beat it tbh. For service, our server was the sweetest. She did such a good job with us! read more

I went for a Saturday brunch lunch but I'll admit, I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. I should start by saying, the service was very friendly and prompt. My review has absolutely nothing to do with the service, or rather they probably got an extra star more than was deserved for the service. This has always been a prohibitively large space so I do know it's hard to figure out the best concept. Not sure this is the right one, at least with the food aspect. The space was attractively decorated and clear that they are focusing more on the music and bar experience. Anyway, onto the low for me, the food. After being seated immediately in the almost empty dining room (at 12:30 pm), I was approached by a server right away. He brought me a cup of water in a disposable plastic cup. I find this a bizarre and wasteful choice in a sit down restaurant. I ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice (also in a plastic cup). Always have to order orange juice when I know it's fresh squeezed. Then I decide to just get their signature sandwich, the Laney's get down because I wasn't exceptionally hungry and I figured that would be pretty good. It came out pretty quickly, in a cardboard food tray. The chicken tasted like it had come from a giant food distributor. Dry as could be, and unseasoned. Maybe it sat under a heat lamp for a long time, but it didn't taste homemade. They advertise at length on their website that this is all homemade and organic, but truly it tasted like something you could get at a gas station. Similar with the fries. Had an odd aftertaste, and while hot, they tasted stale. The pickles were nice. I'm not sure what happened but it was just majorly disappointing. I could have gotten a better chicken sandwich and fries from Popeyes for half the price. I just left the restaurant feeling like this was a music venue/bar with a kitchen, while their website makes it sound like the focus is the other way around. And please, use actual glasses at least. They did have silverware but using so much plastic in this day and age is really bizarre and a bit irresponsible. And frankly, it just left me a little confused about what this concept is supposed to be. Is it a sitdown restaurant with really good food and a bar and life music or is it a bar with food options? read more

Newly opened in Westport.. this concept is 2nd of the same company who owns Tin Roof. The space fits right in to Westport scene, TVs, bandstand area where live music on specified days along with convenient self ordering kiosk towards the back. Our server Donald was cool. Laid back and just attentive enough. I tried the Seoul Bird with fries and I loved the sandwich upto when the edges of the chicken seemed to only the crunchy batter.. the kimchi slaw was pretty good. The chicken had a good crunch and flavor. We also had the Dill Frickles which I appreciated were not caked with breading but lightly surrounded and not too sweet. The portion size of the sandwich was large. I could only eat half of the sandwich along with some of the fries. Even though you don't get a lot of the shoe string fries I think it compliments the fact the sandwich is the main dish. My gf had Laneys Get Down sandwich which too was a nice portion as only half was devoured. Her side was the Mac & cheese which was cheesy... I could taste what I think was Gouda and butter... whatever other cheese was present made a good combination. No to go lids for Mac & cheese Prices are reasonable. read more

We decided to try Laney's recently and I have mixed feelings. We ordered online without issue and headed to the restaurant. They are in the old McCoys and thankfully they kept the awesome patio. We arrived early so we decided to grab a drink at the outdoor bar. I ordered the crushed Paloma: espolon blanco tequila, triple sec, sprite, and fresh grapefruit juice. It's served on crushed ice. It was refreshing and was a great drink for the beautiful day. Once the food was done, we grabbed it and headed home. The two individuals who served us were friendly and nice. I ordered 3 jumbo tenders plus an extra, I opted for Nashville hot. My boyfriend ordered half a bird-breast, wing, thigh, and drum, all Nashville hot. The meals come with two side and a biscuit, so we opted for the Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, and a double order of fries. We also got ranch, honey mustard, and Laney's sauce. I have to preface this by saying that I can handle heat. I frequently order spicy foods and usually find it not too hot. And my boyfriend's tolerance is higher than mine. We both agreed after eating the chicken, that opting for the Nashville hot was a mistake. That was by far the hottest Nashville hot I've ever had. And I've had Nashville hot chicken in Nashville. It was way over the top. To the point that it was miserable. I believe it's some sort of hot oil that they smother the poor chicken with. The carry out box was full of it and I've included a pic because it's not an exaggeration. We didn't eat all of it and we ended up waiting 3 days before attempting to eat the leftovers to give our GI tracts a much needed reprieve. It was definitely a spice you taste twice. Iykyk Anyway, round two we used paper towels to mop up some of the oil and it seemed to lessen that heat. Not enough to not make me preemptively take some pepto. The chicken itself was good. The tenders were good sized. I would try it again but without the Nashville hot seasoning. That was a one and done. The French fries were ok. They were reminiscent of the Golden Arches variety. The Brussel sprouts were also fine. And the Mac and cheese was also average but it was a little grainy. I honestly couldn't really taste the sides because of my mouth being on fire from Satan's chicken. The biscuits that came with the meals were plopped in the grease filled boxes of chicken. So the biscuits soaked up a fair amount of the spice. However, I also ordered a buttermilk biscuit basket that was supposed to come with 3 biscuits, whipped sorghum butter, and blackberry jam. We got the biscuits, but no butter or jam which was the entire reason I ordered it. In the end, I'm glad I ordered it because I was able to try an unadulterated biscuit and honestly, it was my favorite thing from them. I'd just order the biscuits. I'll have to return and try them again. But if you go, definitely get some biscuits and a drink. read more

It was a great experience at Laney's, they just opened for brunch and they were doing great! The food came out fast and the eggs for the scramble were cooked perfectly! The waffle was fluffy and flavorful! Can't wait to come during lunchtime and use the patio when it's nice out. read more

The space was nice and spacious, and conveniently located in Westport. They have nice specials that are reasonably priced. Went during live country music night and it was a great time! The food was just ok to me, and the dessert was more on the bland side, but the service was amazing, and overall, had a great time. Would come back! read more

Run, don't walk, to the newest corner spot on the block! Bonus - sit on the patio during beautiful weather days. Absolutely delicious food and paired with their homemade hot sauce will leave your mouth watering for more. They also have such a creative cocktail menu (highly recommend the Little Pick-Me-Up). Live Music, Brunch and friendly fast service are also part of this amazing spot's offerings so plenty of ways to get down at Laney's. read more

I hadn't been to this place since it was McCoys. It's a cute 70's-inspired place with great music and old TV shows playing. The owner was super nice, as was the bartender. We were there early on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't busy, but we were told they have live music there often (they even take the tables away at night). I'm sure that is a much younger crowd (it's Westport, so totally expected). Afternoon was great for my friend and I....will certainly go back to try the food...it looked amazing! :) read more

The location is incredible, the space and size they're working with is phenomenal. The food was delicious, well prepared, their chef is definitely inspired on a weekly basis. The femme service was kind and considerate, the men working honestly made the environment uncomfortable. They spent their time swarming around younger femme workers. read more

I must say that I am impressed by the food. I got the 1/4 Dark Plate. It was so worth it. The Potato salad had skins on it but it was flavorful. The Coleslaw was a little acidic but also very creamy. The chicken was crispy and tasted great. The banana pudding was a bit mediocre and did not have the full flavors I was anticipating for. I got their Guava Aperol spritz and it was delicious. I would recommend this place. Moreover, the service was fast and friendly. The dining area was clean and spacious. I would be coming back. read more

This place is located in the Westport area. Since Monday was a slow day we seated ourselves. The waitress (Tessa) came over immediately and gave us the rundown of the place as well as the menu. It's all about southern fried chicken. The atmosphere gave you that 60's to 80's dance vibe. Live music and DJ's on the weekend. I chose the 1/4 white with Mac & cheese and Brussels sprouts. My friend had the tenders with shoestring fries and baked beans. It was very good. The Mac & cheese needed a little work but the rest fantastic. The drinks were fun and interesting as well. I would definitely go back again and I am sure the weekends are busy! Nice hang out spot! Give it a try if you love chicken and great music on the weekends! read more

Okay, Laney's, that was a lot of fun!! We've seen a couple iterations of this space on the corner of Pennsylvania and Westport Rd, and Laney's sure is a cute one. The vibes are a little bit retro and a little bit Western. There is ton's of seating in this pretty large space, along with a bar and a stage! I even spied a "late night snacks" kiosk ordering station in the back corner. Live music and fried chicken - what more could you ask for? I highly recommend getting a "plate" because you get 2 sides and a biscuit with your choice of chicken, which is a great way to explore the menu. The fried chicken was fantastically moist on the inside and crispy on the outside - they did not disappoint! The Mac and cheese wasn't the best side of Mac and cheese I've ever had, but the fries and the golden slaw were delicious -- especially with the house ranch dressing. The biscuit was glorious and served hot and fluffy and buttery. Highly recommend enjoying with some hot honey and the house hot sauce. Our server Emily was phenomenal. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. I honestly can't wait to come back to try brunch. read more

I came back to Laney's for a first date with a guy. It was so incredible yet again. The vibe is so low pressure and all of the service people are vibrant, attentive, and so kind. Larissa is one of my best friends from college, so obviously I love her and come to this place for her service. However her, and her colleagues China, and Emily, have consistently gone out of their way to create memorable eating experiences for me. This is definitely an LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive business, which, is so important that Kansas City continues to add queer friendly businesses in this super trendy area of KC. There are a lot of straight dive bars but this is a really fun and different ambiance that is inclusive to all persons! The live music is just such a game changer. I never thought I'd crave coming here just for the violins, or MADD Honey which is one of my favorite bands I've gotten to discover in the times I've come here. The drinks are great, I love their alcoholic specialty tea and it's a pretty good price! The food is fantastic, the chicken feels like it's never frozen and the biscuits are HUMONGOUS! I also get the biscuits appetizer and just add 3 chicken fingers to make little sandwiches. Super affordable, and super fun! I will continue to support Laneys in the coming years. read more

We miss what was here before but we really like what's taken over! The chicken is crispy and JUICY! The breading they use is light but coast the entire meat and doesn't fall off when you bite into it. The chicken is perfectly cooked and we were surprised it wasn't dry with how crispy the skin was. The biscuits were delicious! Hot, soft, and perfect pairing. The French toast was good! The Betty compote was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The Korean sandwich was delicious and we both were fighting over it! Love the sauce it's dipped in and loved the kimchi, I'll have to get extra next time! The Mac and cheese was good but noting to rave about. The pimento we sent back, it wasn't mixed right and the cream cheese ratio to cheddar cheese shreds were so off that it just felt like clumps of shredded cheese and wasn't spreadable..the manager was super great and took it off our bill and the waitress was so so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed and had great recommendations! We know it's new but they're going in the right directions! read more

Service is terrible. It's 6pm on a Sunday - they have 3 occupied tables and people at the bar. Sign says seat yourself, we did. We were passed by 3 workers, after 15 minutes we still had not been approached so we left for BeerKitchen across the street! Bad first impression as it looks to be very cute and food looks good online. read more

I know this location well. When I used to visit Westport, I had been there when it was Mickey's Hideaway and ever before that when it was McCoy's. Both places before Laney's Get Down were cool places but they were never known for their grub, decent bar food, but it would never be confused for a gastro-pub. I was hoping that Laney's Get Down would be associated as a great fried chicken place. I got the quarter dark chicken meal with beans and brussel sprouts. With a beer, tax and tip, the cost was $25. At that price, my expectation is that it needs to taste better than a fast food place, like KFC or Popeye's, let alone a great chicken place like Rye's in Leawood, but it wasn't. Like an instagram picture, the food looked great, but what a picture can't show, is the taste. Starting with the good, the sides (brussel sprouts and baked beans) were very good. However, the chicken and biscuit were not good. The chicken was lukewarm and I felt that it was sitting for a while because it was not crispy but soggy. The chicken didn't have much of a taste to it either, I wondered if they actually had a spice profile because the flavor was bland. The biscuit was not only lukewarm, but it was doughy, as if it were under-cooked. Even the hot honey and hot sauce didn't have any heat, just some sweetness and sourness, respectively. As I was walking to Laney's, I passed by places that I used to eat at. Places like Jerusalem Cafe, The Beer Kitchen and Harry's. All these places were reasonably full with eaters. I was one 5 customers here. My server was pleasant though. I hope it does better with the food, as it is a new business, but until then, I don't think I could recommend this place based on my visit there. read more

Went for lunch so didn't get to see the nightlife/music side but it's a great space. They have a couple of really good options on the lunch menu! Amazing biscuits and chicken tenders are definitely more like ordering fried chicken (breast) than a traditional chicken tender. Brussels sprouts were amazing! Will definitely be back! read more

We went on a Wednesday night and it was dead. Our server was very helpful and friendly. We all ordered chicken and it was freshly made so it took a little while. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The chicken was as good as everyone describes. It was crispy and seasoned lightly without being greasy. For me the sides were the star of the show. Mac and cheese was good. Brussel sprouts were amazing and the potato salas was the best! We all shared the peach crumble because we were so full. It was delish. Highly recommend. They did have a setup for live music, could be a fun atmosphere for a night out. I almost forgot the biscuits. So dang good. Try with the butter and Hot Honey. It's a great combo read more

Admitted; we came at an odd time (2pm), so it was seat yourself. But a bartender and hostess saw us and said "your server will be out in a minute". Neither went to get him, or offered to get us a drink. Even though, it was hot and outside and the bartender then just went behind the bar & watched the game. The sandwich was a B- read more

The service was great, the hostess were super sweet and smiled welcomingly, we were seated right away. It was a Monday evening and not very busy. Our server, I believe her name was Larissa was awesome! She was very helpful with recommendations, patient, smiling and attentive to all our needs. We tried the deviled eggs and with the hot sauce they were delicious. The big suprise was how good the loaded fries were! Definitely recommend them if you go. The old fashioned was just ok, I wouldn't have again but would try some of the other options. Our main entrees came out hot. The mac and cheese was flavorful and the beans were too. The slaw was ok and the Brussel sprouts were pretty sweet from the cider glass. Everything was going pretty well until the chicken. My dinner mate had Nashville hot and enjoyed it, I didn't enjoy the hot but liked my original chicken. Then my mate found what we deduced to be a bristle from a basting brush on the chicken, then later proceeded to pull a long hair from their mouth that was entwined in the chicken. It was pretty gross. We pour server she was very apologetic, when she went to go get us boxes, I was picking up my chicken and saw a hair dangling out of the breast, I pulled it out in front of Larissa and it was loooong! One hair and bristle is bad enough 2 is a real problem. She had the manager come over. He was very nice and apologetic as well. He comped some of the bill and promised he would talk with the kitchen about securing their hair properly. Before the hair grossness I would have definitely given at least a 4 because the food was good and service great, also seems like this would be a fun place to be with the live band on weekends and they also have a nice sized patio for the nicer weather mouths. I had to give 2 stars cause the chicken was the main star/reason I came here. Since I did like everything else I would come back but I will be on the lookout for things that don't belong in my food! read more

Darling logo and interior, and an overall adorable vibe, but unfortunately, poorly executed. The pimento dip and deviled eggs were incredible, the fried chicken- their signature dish- was underwhelming- unseasoned and not fully cooked, it was a major disappointment (and potential health risk). My salad was overdressed and wilted, almost inedible. The service was efficient and friendly. The cocktail list was fun and tasty, and they also had a very nice selection of beers on tap. Finally- it was hotter than hell- the AC was on and the windows open- it was sweltering inside, I felt bad for the wait staff. Laney's has loads of potential, but it was a miss on this particular night. read more

This is one of the worst dining experiences I've had in my adult life. Everything about the place seems to be fake. The "southern fried chicken" was cooked at least hours ago. (I was there for an early lunch!) and was served barely warm. Above that, it was virtually tasteless. It was like old gas -station chicken. The "golden slaw" was not at all pleasant, one bite was sufficient. The potato salad had no flavor whatsoever. The stuff must be produced commercially somewhere across the planet and trucked in. The biscuit was certainly edible (and HUGE), but I tried putting some honey and, of course, it's honey with red pepper flakes in it. Returning to the chicken, they did warn me that the chickens they've been getting from their local supplier or a little on the small side. So they were kind enough to put in one extra piece. Didn't make any difference. I should've been suspicious when the fried chicken came out in five minutes. That means it was cooked a long time ago, and it was barely warm. Not at all crispy. I ate the wing and a couple of bites of one of the other pieces. Utterly tasteless, really lousy. My companion had the chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and chowchow; he could manage only one bite. And he'll eat damned near anything. The waitress was very pleasant, very friendly, and efficient enough. Don't believe the hype. This is not a place to eat. Maybe the beer is good, but I don't drink beer. The music was too loud (that it was not my favorite genre is beside the point) and the subwoofer was overwhelming. (We thought about dining on the patio, but there was an overwhelming smell of sewage blowing across the place at the time. ) For anyone who's actually interested in food and a pleasant atmosphere, Laney's is to be avoided like the plague. If I could give only half a star, or maybe one point of one star, I would do that. read more

The food was not the greatest. I should have figured that when we were the only two people there on a Friday night with live music. The mac & cheese tasted gummy and looked like mush. Their website advertises a chicken sandwich that looks really good, but they don't even make it anymore. I got the Laney's get down. It tasted a little soggy with all the sauce they put on it. The wings were average nothing special. I usually finish my entire meal. This is the first place I've found where I didn't really care to. The one plus our server was nice. The pictures of their food that they post do not lineup with what you are served. I most likely won't go back again. read more

We visited Laney's for the first time tonight and it won't be our last! Emily was our server and she was very knowledgable about the menu and giving us different recommendations. She was very attentive whether to refill our drinks or check on us throughout the meal. The manager also came by to check on us and was very friendly. We were the only ones inside at about 5:00 on a Tuesday, with a couple people on the patio, if you like a less busy environment. After placing our order, Emily came out to let us know that the chicken was being dropped fresh so it would be a 10 minute wait. It definitely was a wait but well worth it knowing our food was fresh and hot when it came out. The fried chicken and tenders were both perfectly crispy. We got beans, potato salad, and fries which were all good. The real STAR of the show were the brussel sprouts! Holy yum! I will be dreaming about those. I didn't get a chance to try the biscuit as I was full from everything else, they don't skimp on the portions, but did take it home to try later. Can't wait to go back and try one of their sandwiches. read more
