The young lady was friendly but didn't much pay attention to new people showing up unless we got her attention. There weren't many in our group and we had slowly filtered in so we couldn't have overwhelmed her. Food was also slow to come out. Even when there was just a handful of people and only a couple had ordered food, it was slllooow. BUT it was good, and hot when it hit the table. Cocktail drinks weren't great either, so most of us stuck with beer. This pool hall is a members only place so I won't be back as I don't play. Despite not having the best experience it was nice to see the place one last time.

For what it is I should have given it 5 stars. The food is excellent the atmosphere is friendly with old mismatched chairs and tables, clean but old and small restrooms. A couple flat screens and pool tables. The crowd is typical small town locals, farmers and blue collar guys which I fit into pretty well. Friday and Saturday they have steaks and shrimp and during the week your typical bar food. However far from typical in taste. Everything is fresh nothing frozen. Big burgers cooked on a flat top along with fresh huge lightly breaded Tenderloins, perfectly cooked traditional wings and a giant Philly steak made out of sliced ribeye that is really hard to eat all of it at once. 1.50-2.00 16oz draws and a few different domestic bottles as well as mixed drinks. Smoking allowed but it's never been overpowering and I've been in several times. This is the best place in the surrounding area to eat hands down and worth the trip if your out driving around east of Lees Summit. Highly recommend the Philly, wings and the Tenderloin but everything is good

I had known about Ranch House -- and feared it -- for nearly 30 years. Something about it gave be…read morea vibe of being the type of place where fights constantly break out and absolutely nothing good can happen. I finally got up the nerve to go inside, and discovered I had been wrong. I've been there during the day and at night, and haven't seen a hint of trouble. It's a blue collar bar for sure, a mix of people my age and older people. The bartenders are exceptionally pleasant and the regulars have all been nice so far. The bar is L-shaped and located immediately inside the door, there is a large seating area to the left of the bar. On a recent visit, my brother and I were mistaken for traveling musicians by an older guy to the left of us. We still have no idea what gave him that impression. :) As decent and friendly as this place turned out to be, it's not for hipsters or the casual drinker. This is the kind of place where alcoholics and alcoholics in training go to spend their evenings getting their daily medication. Trivia fact: Ranch House is the oldest bar in Eastern Jackson County. It has been in continuous operation for about 55-60 years, possibly longer. The building is probably much older than that.

All the seating inside were Bistro stools and when you reach a certain age or certain weight or both, Bistro stools are not comfortable or safe. There was a picnic table out in the back, and that was fine, except there is no shade. Second, the do not serve food before 5:30 pm. They open at 4 pm. Our group ordered food from outside and had it delivered to the picnic table. Third, service was non existent. There was a bartender and we could get drinks. The place could use sprucing up. The floor was concrete and cracked and worn it was if they put a bunch of games in an old building. It was not an inviting atmosphere. A pool table would have improved the place slightly, but not enough to make a return trip.

There wasn't exactly a record screeching to a stop, but some pool players definitely called us out and asked where we are from (we all live in the metro area). Anyway, I'm pretty sure we were the ONLY people not smoking in this fine establishment. This place is not for anyone who despises anything less than sparkly and shiny, nor for anyone with reactive airway disease. They're also fazing out their bar food menu, and I had what were possibly the worst bar tater tots ever (the bar tender DID warn me) and didn't charge for them. That said, the service here was fast, the drinks were hella cheap, the pours were strong and everyone was friendly... even if we did get a couple of side eyes. I actually had a great time here, but I definitely had to shower the smoke out of my hair immediately when I got home!

My Mom used to always talk about The Hangout. The first time I went to the place, the bartender…read moretold me who my Mom was. I was like, wow... the Hangout. My mother probably hasn't stopped in there since the 80s, so that... in a nutshell, tells you how long this place has been around and that the clientele doesn't change much. I like the Hangout, why? Because nobody from Westport goes there, the juke box (if that's what the music comes off of) is not loud, beers are cheap, and the bartenders are usually cool and down to earth. The clients mind their manners and you only get an occasional creepy glance from the old dudes who hang out there. Mr. C does not like the Hangout. He doesn't like to be around people who are just bumbling through life. And to his credit, they kind of are. Although I think it is hard to judge people by their looks. I mean, he and I both wear fairly new fashions, and our hairstyles reflect the time we live in, but that doesn't necessarily mean people are just like pinballs bouncing off each other like the world is a big bumper. Mr. C and I go out to enjoy a drink outside of our home. I cannot be so haughty to say that I haven't gone to a bar to drink to "forget about life for awhile." (Billy Joel) I think people sometimes get stuck in their ruts and their misery, that the bar becomes the place to go to forget it all. The Hangout is offering this as every other bar on the planet. It just so happens it is in Raytown and the clientele look funny. I don't need a certain ambiance to go out and have a beer. I do like to go out to more modern places, but not every occasion calls for fancy. The Hangout is a get out of the house place. I like it. There is however one drawback. It is in Raytown and no-smoking ordinances have not been passed here. To avoid the smoke, sit in the corner away from the main crowd at a low table. Do not sit at the bar if smoke offends you. My review: Food: N/A Service: Friendly, friendly, friendly Would I go back? I wish my fiance was down for our wedding reception to be held here. Not gonna happen.

Big Creek Country Showplace theatre was built in 1909, it became a movie theatre in the 1950's and…read morethen was purchased by the current owners in 1981 with the intention of launching the Big Creek Country Show. The first show on Halloween night in 1982 drew a crowd of 450 people to the little town of Pleasant Hill, MO. The physical shape and condition of the theatre is similar to what most of us old people might remember from when we went to the movies when we were kids. I doubt the theatre has been refurbished (except for possibly changing the cushions on the seats) and it hasn't changed much over the past several decades. The silver movie screen still hangs behind the back curtain. The charming history of the building has been preserved, but it's also clean and comfortable and conducive to a fun and entertaining evening. The owner of the theatre is hands-on involved in every production - booking the talent, playing the Sax, acting as emcee, and occasionally signing. The show consists of a band with a few consistent performers and a few rotating performers, plus a few guest singers. For instance, the keyboard player Phil Hilton has been on stage since the first production 38 years ago - and by the way, he's outrageously talented. Other band performers, such as the lead guitar player rotate but they always have top notch talent at each instrument for every performance. The show always features a few guest singers for each performance, with regular appearances by Duke Mason who is both gifted and funny and always makes his appearances memorable. The performances are held every Saturday evening year round beginning at 7:30 pm (they usually start 5-10 minutes late) until approximately 10 pm, and they range from classic old-time country to top 40 hits from the 50's-70's. No matter which genre they perform, the result is always very well done. You'll also discover that a number of patriotic and gospel songs are frequently sprinkled in, and these songs are often our favorites from each show. Seats for each show are reserved and you can call ahead or purchase your tickets the day of the show at the box office that opens at 6:00 pm on Saturday nights. Tickets are only $12, but be careful if Duke Mason is scheduled to perform, there will likely be very few tickets available for walk-ins. The location in Pleasant Hill might be a bit of a drive for some people in the KC area, but it's a fun and inexpensive way to spend a Saturday evening and I highly recommend it.
