    Chicken Grilled Burrito Combo (bland)
    Fabian S.

    This restaurant was recently remodeled, it's pretty clean and inviting. This is the first time I try it, I ordered the chicken burrito combo, the burrito was so bland that salt and pepper didn't help. The tots were pretty good though. I would never pay $15 again for this, nor would I return, I could have made better food in the kitchen and not wasted a trip or money.

    Road trip snack. Ole's!

    Passing through area on the road trip back from Kansas City to visit friends...Taco John's hit the spot! Lightning fast prepping of the food and the staff was super friendly! I was very pleased with our visit! When in the area again I will find Taco John's!!!! Need one in Oklahoma! Respectfully, Bryan OKC

    I drove 30 minutes to get to the nearest Taco John's. I hadn't been since I was a kid and all of a sudden I want a churro. Upon entering, I was greeted by two kids who were eager to help me... and waited patiently while I gawked at the menu. They take your name and let you go have a seat and then bring your food out to you. High class. I got the number six, I think. It was a grilled taco. It had shredded cheese and nacho cheese in a hard shell taco, then a tortilla wrapped around that. It was quite good. The oles came with the meal and I had one just because they were there...yum! They have french fry powdered salt on them that make them irresistible. I tried the sweet tea, was weak on tea and strong on sugar. Bleck. The churro was just as I remember it.... totally worth the drive. They even asked if I wanted it with the meal or after, so it would be hot.

    Overall this is a nice Taco John's. It's clean, the employees are great, and the food is good. However, the potato oles where over cooked. Not burnt, but almost chewy. That's not standard for any of the Taco John's I frequent, so I'm hoping it was just an off moment for the fryer. I gotta say that even the worst potato oles are better than no potato oles. :D

    After volunteering at the nearby PetSmart adoption event, I finally gave Dave's Hot Chicken a try…read more-- glad to see they opened in Olathe! I went with Dave's #2 (two sliders + fries) and picked the Hot spice level (two below Reaper). The heat was perfect -- enough to make my mouth tingle without punishing me. Tempted to try "Extra Hot," but maybe those days were for my younger, non-acid reflux self. The sliders came stacked with juicy pickles, crunchy slaw, and Dave's sauce on a soft potato bun. The chicken strips themselves were big -- not the measly ones you sometimes see -- and definitely worthy of being turned into a juicy, satisfying slider. By the time I got home they were a little soggy, but not enough to ruin things. The flavor balance between spice, tang, and crunch really hit the mark. The fries surprised me -- I'm usually not a crinkle fry fan, but these were seasoned crispy, zesty, and honestly second only to Joe's BBQ fries in KC. Big win. Service-wise, the woman at the counter was amazing, handling the rush like a pro while cooks worked the back. My tip for management: add another front staffer and maybe a mic system, since the loud music made it hard for seated guests to hear order calls. That said, she didn't miss a beat, and I appreciated the extra sauces she threw in. I also loved that Dave's doesn't nickel-and-dime you for condiments -- the extra packets made both the fries and sliders better, and it kept everything from getting soggy. In today's world, it's refreshing to see a place that doesn't skimp or charge extra. The space itself has bold artistic vibes and limited seating -- feels more geared toward quick bites or takeout. Orders took a little time, but that's a sign of fresh cooking, not fast-food shortcuts. Verdict? Dave's officially dethroned Chick-fil-A as my spicy chicken go-to. Between the generous portions, customizable heat levels, standout fries, fair value, and strong staff effort, I'll definitely be back. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 as a kudos to value and just attentive, hardworking staff. Rounded my 4.5 up to 5 as a nod to the value and the hardworking staff who made it a great first visit.

Wings: The garlic parm was the standout -- fresh, flavorful, and honestly better than my usual Buffalo Wild Wings order. The tikka masala didn't really taste like tikka masala (more like a standard BWW flavor), but it was still tasty. The only drawback was the size of the wings -- smaller than I expected. Next time I'll probably go for the 16 or 20 piece. Waffle: I picked the Belgian waffle with maple syrup dip. It came hot but not crispy, with just a dusting of powdered sugar. Still sweet and enjoyable, though next time I want to try the bubble waffle for something different. Fries: Got the seasoned fries on the side -- good flavor and seasoning, though like the waffle, they weren't super crisp. Still tasty on their own, but I would've loved an option to pick dips (ranch, queso, garlic parm, etc.) instead of just being handed four maple syrups. Extras & Drinks: They also offer mac & cheese or the bubble waffle as side options, plus unique teas and lemonades for $1 more, or milkshakes for $4.50. Prices on extra dips are $0.99 each. Overall, it's a fun and unique concept -- fair-style food in a neighborhood spot. The food is flavorful, not always the crispiest or warmest on carryout, but easily fixed with a microwave or air fryer. I'll definitely be back, especially to try the bubble waffle and maybe some loaded fries or wraps/buns during happy hour (2-4 PM).

However, I came here again and ordered the boneless wings, fries, cookies & cream shake, mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap that I shared with my girlfriend. This food was absolutely incredible. The boneless wings were crispy, the fries were seasoned well and had a nice crunch, the cookies & cream shake made me want more even though I'm not much of a sweet person, the mac and cheese was warm and made my stomach feel light, and the chicken wrap had great flavor and even better, it was $5 as part of a limited special. The service has always been great. The workers are very helpful, kind, and friendly. You can tell they want to ensure you are having the best experience possible. Also, you can't forget the button to win a free meal. I have not won yet, but I'm sure it'll come eventually. If you're in the area, I highly recommend coming to this location you won't regret it.

I'm hoping the over-cooked hamburger was a fluke and will give them another try. They certainly have a great reputation.
