I've been to other Tanners before. I just moved, so this one is right in my back yard. Like seriously, I can see the building from my backyard lol. Thinking about putting in a gate so I can just walk over. Great sandwiches, I usually get the reuben or patty melt. Great Beer selection and seasonal cocktails. read more

Honestly would have probably given a 3.5 rating. The interior has that look like the company hasn't made any updates in quite a while. We got there just before our waitress got cut, you could tell she knew it was going to happen and was kind of indifferent about serving us. The waitress that took over had several table and never really check on us. Several of us could have used a refill on drinks. I ordered the Route 66 Burger, it was a good burger along with the tots, nothing overly special but good. read more

Brandi is super amazing. Watching her handle an entire room by herself while a server colleague sits at the end of the bar. She is awesome. Give her a pay raise. read more

I've been to Tanners on 66th and Silverheel several times with both good and not-so-good experiences. Wanted to try this location as it's is closer to where we are moving. My first impression was, wow, this place is a little smaller but alot nicer. Our server was friendly and took good care of us without checking too frequently. The onion rings were cooked perfectly while the chicken tenders (chicken lips as Tanner's calls them) were a little dry. But they were still tasty and satisfying. I'll be back, and not just because it's just around the corner. read more

I started with the fried pickles and added a fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was warm but not hot. I added sweet potato fries and the same thing- warm but not hot. Service was good and a nice bar and grill. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but a little help with food temps would definitely take this to a 5 star rating. read more

Our server was very attentive and friendly. We are new to the area but Chris has been in other Tanner's locations so he recommended that we try it here. The place has a lively vibe, but it being a beautiful day that we opted to seat out in the patio. The food was good. We had Spinach Artichoke Dip for appetizer. Chris and I both had the KC BBQ Booga, mine with sweet potato fries (of course!) and Chris's with brussel sprouts. Riley had the Orleans Club Chicken Sandwich. read more

This is the second time I have come here and left heated. Today I came in and they had three servers for a full house. My waiter (Devin) was struggling to keep up, doing his best to bounce around and keep everyone happy. Even with that it was slow service and we ended up missing food that we waited and asked for multiple times over the two hours we were there. It never showed up due to some kind of excuse. I could see he was doing his best, but you know who wasn't? The manager, seemed like he wasnt doing anything. I saw our waiter talk to the manger expressing how our table was upset about quite a few things. What did he do? Nothing, he waved it off and went to the back. Didn't step up and help his staff, come check on up, apologize for any feelings or inconvenience we felt. Just a bump on a log. It got to a point I asked Devin to get the manager and what does the manger do? Come out and talk to other tables passing us up and goes to the back confused as to where we were. I guess he finally put his eyeballs in his head and saw us sitting exactly where the server pointed to us three times. Finally get the manager over to us and I express my disappointment in his lack of caring if people are upset and how his server is working his butt off and he doing nothing other than standing in the back. What was his response? 'What do you want me to do about it?' I responded heated telling him to be a manager? be a team player? help your team? apologize when your customers are upset? What was his response to that you may ask? 'Sorry you feel that way.' I respond, 'yea, me too', he says 'okay' and walks away. So 0 stars for him to match his 0 effort as a manager. p.s. still never got our missing meal. Since the server comped it for us, the kitchen 'stopped making it' read more

I like Tanners in general and yes prices are killing us all but come on. Check my picture - That's an extremely dark $9 sugar free red bull and bottom of the barrel vodka. Won't be back. read more

Our burgers were warm but our onion rings and fries were definitely NOT warm when they arrived. Our server stood and watched us eat and didn't check on us much to be able to say anything about it. The onion rings and fries, if hot would have been perfect. The burgers were sadly unseasoned and bland. read more

This is a place that has great bar food and regulars around every corner! Service was kind, fast and not pushy to hurry you out. Tried the buffalo wings and they were great! Looking forward to going back and trying one of their burgers. read more

Fast, friendly service in a comfortable environment. Not too loud and you can still carry on a conversation.

Stopped in to grab a bite before a meeting we had Tuesday, I was thinking they might have a taco special and they did. The place was clean and pretty slow with not a lot of customers. The waitress came over as she was sitting in the dining room and I didn't actually no she was a waitress. I asked about the specials and she did go over the Tuesday taco special, I felt a little rushed but I did place my order for the nachos and my husband got the taco special. I noticed that after she rang our food back she went back to sitting In dining area with her friend. I enjoyed the food, it was pretty good, the service was lacking attention and was very different, seems wait staff would be up and ready to help not sitting and visiting. If we are in the area I might seek a different option next time. read more

Great experience, our server Devin was very friendly and accommodating. We got quick service yet never felt rushed. thank u Tanners phlumn and Devin! read more

Just got the potato skins appetizer as a meal. It was slightly disappointing. Two of them were a bit burnt. But overall they were ok. I mean, they are potatoes after all lol. ‍ good vibes inside though. read more

Tanner's is a chain Sports Bar, and all the locations offer the same food and similar levels of service. But this location is my go-to, primarily because of the gigantic and beautiful big projection TV screen that hangs on the wall at the far end of the main dining area. If you want to watch a game while you're out with friends or having dinner, there simply isn't any place in Kansas City that I'm aware of that is more enjoyable. If you aren't interested in the main game that evening (usually the Chiefs, Royals, or Jayhawks on most nights) then simply turn to one of the other multitude of regular size flat screens that ring the walls in the upper and lower seating areas. Many other sports bars feature TVs with faded screens or less than perfect images. Not this place - every TV looks great. But I don't only frequent Tanner's for the TVs, although that is reason enough. I really enjoy the food too. We almost always start out with a bowl of white queso, but their pretzels and cheese dip and other appetizers are good too. Pork tenderloins are famous in the Midwest and Tanner's version doesn't disappoint. I was recently surprised when I ordered a plate of tacos. A sports bar isn't the type of place where I would usually order Mexican food, but I was in the mood so I threw caution to the wind. The tacos were good, but they didn't really taste like "restaurant tacos." I found the tacos to be almost exactly like what I would make at home, well actually more like what my wife would make at home because she makes them much better than me. Tanner's is famous for their wings and "chicken lips" which are basically chicken tenders. Be sure to try them fried, flavored, and charred - they're delicious that way. I was also surprised by the strip steak sandwich I had recently. Once again, this isn't something I would normally order in a Sports bar (I usually stick with burgers, nachos, and chicken wings), but I was in the mood so I gave it a shot. You definitely won't mistake their strip for one at an expensive steakhouse, but for $12.49 it was really really good - cooked just right, tender meat, with those criss-cross grill marks that make it look like the cook really knows what he's doing. And don't forget the salads, they're good too! My wife and I often eat here on our way home from Chiefs games or to watch the Royals play while we have dinner on a Summer evening. But I like this place enough we'll probably start coming here even when there isn't a game to watch. And that's probably the nicest compliment you can pay to a sports bar. read more

Came into Tanners on a nice hot July day. Ordered a couple draft beers with my wife, they came out hot and in a plastic cup. Asked the waitress about getting a cold beer in a glass that beer is supposed to come instead of the warm beer I was brought. Was offered a cold glass to pour my warm beer into to "hopefully" help. It's probably a one time thing but this shouldn't ever happen. read more

I've been to other Tanner's around KC and I will say that they are consistent in their food quality and service. Be sure to try their chicken lips(their version of hand made chicken strips) and their boogas (it's a hamburger) which come in many varieties. I plan on becoming a regular here. It seems like a nice neighborhood bar and grill. read more

This place is amazing. Karlee was our waitress and she was "at the right place, at the right time" every single time. Facilitated a group of 10-15, and took care of everyone! Will absolutely recommend this location! read more

Easily my favorite bar in the area and the food is great. Never had a bad item on the menu and Karlee has always been super fast and helpful. read more

I have eaten here A LOT. I like the chicken quesadeas [sp], chicken nachos, Korean chicken sandwich and my friend (who's also eaten here A LOT) likes the "boogahs". The servers are always excellent! The atmosphere is typical sports bar. read more

Perfect sports bar for just relaxing and having a good bite to eat. Service is wonderful. Attentive and helpful. Food was your classic bar favorites. Big menu too! The only thing is they didn't clean our table off before we sat , but not the end of the world. Will definitely be back! read more

Tanners is well known bar located in Lanexa, KS. They have in door bar, high top and outdoor seating. I really didn't have a choice when picking a place to eat this night but I'm glad we stopped by. This is absolutely a sports atmosphere bar; don't worry they have televisions everywhere in this place. There's no bad seat in the house to watch a game, fight or news. I was super impressed with their Chicken Lips... Yes, I said Chicken lips. Its chicken that's seasoned to perfection (at least ours was good). Besides that we enjoyed the meat and cheese platter, steak sandwich, house salad and chicken wraps. I know Ill be back in KC either for business or pleasure so.... At the end of the day... Yes, I will return even if its just for the chicken lips. read more

This Tanners is not ready for prime time. I'm breaking from my usual stylistic convention since this review encompasses numerous things warranting the one star rating. The customer service here was atrocious. Our server Jenny was slow, inattentive, aloof, and at times arrogant. When trying to order drinks or food we consistently had to wait at least 15 minutes before seeing her again. By the time we finally got our food the fare proved disappointing. The southwest egg rolls in particular came in a tiny portion ($9.49) and were no better than the ones Chili's serves. Later in the evening Jenny said we had to pipe down because of a customer complaint and that this was a "family restaurant". When asked for the details of the complaint her response was, "It's not my business." Not too long afterwards we were discussing the absurdity of the baseless complaint when Jenny interrupted with, "Are you guys talking about me? You know what. You just need to leave." We once again tried to push back about the nature of the complaint, but she brushed it off by saying, "All I know is we got you on video." Okay great. Show us the video footage supporting your claim. Lo and behold, Jenny couldn't produce it (yeah, what a shocker /s). I don't know where the management was during all this, but they clearly have poor standards. They're willing to allow 20-year-old know-it-all servers represent their establishment. Given previous reviews lamenting poor service, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the standard they are willing to accept. read more

Karlee was AMAZING!! She served a crowd of 60 for a birthday bash and her customer service, great sense of humor, efficiency with multiple orders and her SMILE were fantastic!!! read more

My Monday Booga special ($5.99) was good. The burger patty was thick, and cooked to my order, but was overly greasy. The fries were thick, beefy, and not overcooked (just the way I like them). The service was friendly and cheerful, while the interior was nicely done with plenty of TVs, background music, music videos, and a couple of games. read more

On Saturday 2/25/2023 my family reserved the big room at Tanner's Bar and Grill at 13350 College Blvd in Lenexa, Ks. It was a Birthday party with about 70 people. We had 2 platters of Chicken Lips, 2 cold cut slider trays and a veggie tray that the bar prepared. Everyone had a wonderful time and Tanner's staff had all the tables marked as reserved for our group from 1-4. We could not have asked for better service. Our waitress Tori L. was wonderful. I felt like I ordered a drink and when I turned around Tori was handing it to me. No one had to go to the bar to order a drink because Tori was amazing. Also, the food was great. Thanks to Tanner's we had a great party. read more

We've ordered takeout here a quite a few times, but I don't love it. The rest of my family don't seem to mind the food that much, but what I've ordered never had me seeking it out. The burger seemed dry, but the fries are nicely seasoned. The only menu item here that I've found to somewhat enjoy is their Burnt End Mac & Cheese. The reason I give it a 3 star is the fact that everyone else seems to have zero issues with it. read more

We use this location for our official OU Club of KC. Service is always great for our group. I haven't had many menu items I didn't like, but the Big Bang shrimp and shrimp tacos are my favorite. read more

So the service and food was great...until my check came. By Bill was a little less then $18. I need to break a $10 for a tip so I gave her $30. When she brought it back she said something about what she giving me back $7 and I didn't catch the rest since I was in the middle of a conversation. I counted my money and it was $7. So I figured 30-18-7=5. So I figured she said something about keeping $5 since my friend gave her that for his. So I started putting my money away and she came over and started lecturing me on how she make $2.18 an hour. I was was trying to explain that she had $5 of mine already. I didn't want to argue since I had to leave to make an appointment so I drop $4 and just decided I would never go back. read more

I was a regular customer here for about a year. Till recently, I came in to have a few drinks then I was going somewhere else. The bartender lady kept telling me to stop talking to a guy that I really liked. He wasn't at the bar it was someone who I was friends with outside of the bar. Then she told me not to go to Club Skin. She told me I would get hurt. I ended up getting hurt pretty badly either way. I'm not sure if she was trying to help or just get me to drink more and spend more money. They knew I didn't have that many friends there. My advice, is don't listen to bartenders. There is a reason they have no voice-mail box set up. She told me I'd get raped then I did get pretty badly hurt. Seems a little off to me personally. read more

Couple of my friends who I know from another restaurant is working here, Bartender Paige is super person who is down to and when she works I will go in and see her, another person is Cheyenne who is a bartender/server, I support these friends in wherever they may work in the restaurant business, Tanners has good happy hour special and that is about the only time I would go into a place for the special, Yes, I'm cheap but not that cheap, I liked the Reuben sandwich,many tv to watch the game on, lots of cool things in the business, this place when I've been in is relax atmosphere nice patio and it is easy to get in and out of read more

Wasn't particularly impressed by this latest addition to the Tanner's chain. Which is too bad; it's quite close to my home & would be nice to have as a local hangout. The interior has been revamped from the prior establishment -- the bar is on the left, and the back rooms have been opened up for a much airier feeling. Bartenders are friendly. Sadly, the food isn't very good. My nacho plate (Tuesday special) consisted of some sad, stale tortilla chips covered with bland nacho cheese sauce and some watery chicken. Throw on some diced tomatoes & scallions, sprinkle with some shredded cheddar & a tiny dollop of sour cream, serve lukewarm. The cheese wasn't even melted, so I'm pretty sure it never saw the broiler. The chips, which weren't crunchy to begin with, just got soggier as I tried to work through it. There was plenty, but I punted halfway through. I'll try them again, because they might still be fine-tuning this new location. But I'll pass on the nachos. read more

The food is OK, the customer service is under par. This place was so much better when it was Danny's. read more

If I could give Tanner's a higher rating the 5*, I'd do it without question. I just came back here from Seattle after 17 years to help out with both my parents being terminally ill, and got to hang out with mom after visiting my dad in a hospice. Once we got there we didn't realize there was music bingo playing, which was no big deal because that was a regular night. Each server/employee was so polite and extremely attentive. Especially our server Jenny who was more than accommodating to allow us to move to a slightly quieter area to continue to enjoy our meal and couldn't have been a more pleasant individual. Would recommend this place to anyone, local or traveler. Thank you again for such a great experience. Looking forward to hopefully getting a chance to eat there again before leaving back to the PACNW. Thank you, Shaun read more

While the servers are nice, they were not attentive. The server/staff spent most of their time with the 2 or 3 other customers who appeared to be regulars at the bar. The server ignored us and took a long time to provide service. The fries were absolutely delicious, but the chicken sandwich was dry and bland. The restaurant does have a good vibe and I loved that they played 90s music videos. read more

Stopped in to catch the Chiefs game...lots of TVs, good bar food, standard bar and grill. What was amazing was the service, in particular our waitress, I think her name is Alina (may have misspelled that). Anyway, She was working easily ten tables without missing a beat...as impressive as the Chiefs! read more

I'm torn about how to rate this Tanner's. I like the look and atmosphere of this location. The food is good, however the cooks don't seem to know how to cook a burger to medium temperature. I've tried their burgers 4 times now and only once when I specially spoke with the manager about the burger doneness, did it come out correct. The service, however, leaves something to be desired. I've dined in three times, carried out twice and the customer service has been subpar. The servers have complained about being tired, not wanting to be at work, and just aren't that friendly. As a former server, it goes against my grain to not leave a 20% tip, but I don't feel that any server has earned a full tip. read more

got to play music bingo with my teammates and it was very fun. great place for family and friends!!!

The service is horrendous. The bar manager or whatever he is walked back and forth and never attended to our empty glasses. He simply chatted with his buddies at the end of the bar and ignored us the entire time. read more
