Your know you're at The Peanut - when you see the classic Mr. Peanut Man above the bar...
Richard S.

Made it to KC again - and that means another trip to the Peanut! Best dang wings (this) side of the Mississippi....and probably the other side too! You cannot beat the wing taste and their homemade bleu cheese dipping sauce. I will continue to rant on about the 3.8 rating....as this place is 5 stars and more. Is it fancy? Nope. Is it big? Nope. Is it trendy? Nope. And that's why it's so darn good and a unique place. It's why the place is so comfortable. It's why it's the best place for wings and such!

Got 5 recommendations for this place from followers and that was more than enough to get me in the door. Boy was I glad I did. The person behind the bar was so friendly and helpful, she walked me thru the menu and provided me with cold Diet Pepsi and water. I got the chips and salsa and the wings with ranch. I got 6 wings which I would say is more than enough for one person. Extremely tasty and awesome interior loved it would totally go back.

Wings and fries

You go here for the wings and that's about it. Fries and chips are as cheap and bland as can be and the place especially ceiling is filthy, but those wings are always worth it. The meat and the sauce is excellent and a little spicy but perfect for the ranch on the side.

Good food

I can't decide if I like the BLT or the tenderloin sandwich. The dingy little bar with all the strung Xmas lights give a party vibe, you feel happy here. The staff works hard and are naturals at their job.

Three wings and fries

The Peanut was recommended by a coworkers and it was delish! Very much a dive bar but always a lovely crowd. You have to understand it's very basic here. Your only wing option is buffalo and it's the whole wing (drum and flat) so keep that in mind when you order. Also very affordable!

WINGS!!!! Top 5 wings we've ever had...big and fully sauced, 10/10 highly recommend! Oh yeah, pretty cool place too!

Hot wings, fries, in house blue cheese
Amri L.

These wings are so delicious! And the homemade blue cheese is perfect! The bar itself is so cool, i like the string lights everywhere. The service was good they made sure our waters stayed filled and constantly checked on our table.

Classic bar food! The original peanut, with the true corner bar feel. Fast and friendly service, would recommend again

These are hot buffalo chicken wings!
Bill S.

OMG exclamation The "Original" Peanut in Kansas City is the place to go for Buffalo chicken wings! These are not your typical chicken wings... These are colossal wings deep-fried to perfection and pasted in just right Buffalo hot sauce. The original Peanut restaurant in Kansas City is a classic. It is mostly a local type bar with excellent chicken wings. This is a perfect place to watch a Chiefs game on a cold night jam packed in with your closest friends.

Wings & Fries
Brennan B.

Great bar right off the Plaza. If you have a friend in town and they want wings, you take them to this Peanut. It's the original, has great charm, and always has a diverse crowd that is fun. It's small place, but it just works.

Buffalo wings

Loved the dive bar vibe. Wings were incredible! Both tender and crispy at the same time. Will be back for sure!

This rooftop gem on the Country Club Plaza has such a youthful, energetic vibe--perfect for a milestone like this. Our server was excellent--super friendly, attentive, and even recommended a beautiful and delicious cocktail that paired perfectly with our dinner. We went all out and sampled a ton from the menu: fried lobster tail, pepperoni pizza, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, wagyu Nagiri, oysters with caviar, and wagyu sliders. Most of the food was absolutely delicious! The sushi rolls stood out with their unique flavors and beautiful presentation--what a nice surprise. Our absolute favorites were the wagyu nagiri (melt-in-your-mouth incredible) and the oysters with caviar. The wagyu sliders were also a hit. That said, the fried lobster tail was a bit of a letdown--chewy and lacking the flavor punch that everything else delivered. The atmosphere is lively and fun, but heads up: it gets very loud. We were at one of those tiny cocktail tables and basically had to yell across it to chat, which made conversation a challenge during dinner. On the bright side, we scored an amazing seat with a stunning view of the Plaza. Watching the sunset while eating was magical and made the whole experience feel extra special for a birthday. Overall, great food (with just a couple minor misses), awesome vibes, top-notch service, and that unbeatable rooftop setting. I'd definitely recommend Prime Social and we'd go back in a heartbeat--maybe just bring earplugs if you're planning to talk a lot! 4 stars.

You get two hours in the Igloo, with complimentary hot cocoa and delicious cookies. It's super cute! I went with the girls but this is definitely date night worthy. You can order food and drinks also. I ordered the Birria Bites, Pomme Frites and Snickerdoodle Martini. My friends ordered the Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings, Pomme Frites and the Lemon Thyme Soda Mocktail. The Birria Bites were a 6/10. The Snickerdoodle Martini 10/10. My friends thought the chicken wings were about a 5/10. They liked their mocktail. We all agreed the Pomme Frites were good. 8/10. Cookies were a 10/10. The overall experience itself is a definite 10/10 recommend! I'd do it again.

We sat down waited way too long to even be noticed. Tried signature drinks Pom & Oak and snickerdoodle martini. They were pretty sweet & not strong. We ordered a creme brulee, which was served cold & came with 2 spoons that my husband called 'snow shovels' as they were about 50% of the dessert plate. It was a nice brûlée, just wish it wasn't so chilled. Overall, just okay for us. 3 stars on food &drinks but service was just so lacking that it loses a star. Restaurant: Service was not good here. We arrived at 10 with reservation, watched everyone after us get attention. 10 minutes before waiter 'saw' us. I got a mimosa, husband ordered cappuccino. I sipped slowly but he didn't get his drink for 20 more minutes. Plus I guess a printer in kitchen broke down so everyone was waiting on food. we didn't get food until 11:10, then felt like they were pushing us out as they close at 11. So sorry! So just like the bar- the food was okay, but service dropped another star. We canceled day 2 breakfast there, just not worth our time to get ignored. Also having loud small children in the small dining area was just annoying after a while. (I tried to stay patient, truly)

The Puttery completely blew me away!!…read more This place had been on my list to try out for a long time and I wish I'd gone sooner. It's located in a cool area in the middle of the plaza right underneath Chiefs Fit gym. As soon as you enter you get a feel for the great ambiance and fun variety of music. We came in during a cold snowy day and took full advantage of the FREE coat check at the front desk. On the first floor there's a mini golf course as well as a full bar and seating area. Once you go downstairs though, you'll see just how massive the place is. Theres TONS of seating and cool little nooks to hangout in which make it great for a date night or corporate events. Once you get into the mini golf there's some great courses to check out. Each one has a different theme and they make it super simple to track your points. Simply enter the names of all your players on the touch screen at the first hole, then enter the number of strokes afterwards. After that it will follow you throughout the course until you're finished and tell you who wins at the end! There's also a place to sit your drinks at the start of each hole with a menu of course specific cocktails that I highly recommend trying. Every part of this place is perfect to take pictures and have a great time. But in my opinion, the true highlight of the Puttery is the food. I had the pleasure of meeting the head chef while here and he truly puts his heart into the menu. Our server Mariah was also super helpful giving us drink and food recommendations throughout our time here. Everything sounded amazing but I had to go with the Cajun Chicken Philly since I'm a sucker for a Philly sandwich. It was one of my favorite sandwiches I've ever had. From the soft delicious bread to the unbelievably juicy and tender chicken, this was such a great dish. The combination of ingredients and the plating itself made it clear that nothing comes as an afterthought here. I also tried the loaded fries which were a great recent addition to the menu. Last, we finished it off by trying the Tiramisu, Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and the Bourbon Bread Pudding. Each one was really amazing but my favorite was the Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and I'm not even a huge cheesecake fan! I definitely plan to come back here just for the food because it was so delicious!! And on top of that, they recently started a meal prep service which I plan to take full advantage of! Overall you can tell that every detail is thought through at the Puttery. It truly feels like a luxury experience with an element of fun to round it out. The service is amazing and the food and drinks are to die for. If you're ever looking for a fun date night, a group outing, or even just a place for a solo dinner or drinks, you have to check this place out!

We did all of that and took quite a bit of snapshots along the way. First stop in at front to indicate the experience you want to have. Maleah handled our check-in and they offer a coat check as well. There are 3 courses: First floor, Art Museum; Basement level has Conservatory and Rooftop courses. All have unique displays curated with 9-holes to take on. You can enjoy drinks while you goto each hole which makes for more enjoyment! I'm not going to lie; it was very challenging and extremely fun! We hit all 3 courses. As far as playing mini-golf and attempting to do well, I'd say I like the Conservatory course. We pretty much were there until closing. There was also food & drinks a part of our visit. We sat at the bar where Madi served up 3 great drinks and we go to try the Spinach Artichoke dip. She made us Espresso martini and then a Pumkin flavored martini, both tasted exactly as expected with a bit a Baileys for added flavor.

Came to Kansas City for a few days to visit some friends over NYE. I do a lot of research before I…read morearrive, and I find the best restaurants in town. Gram & Dun was one of those restaurants. We show up for our reservations and get seated for a wonderful meal. Ambiance was surreal. The vibes inside were that of a modern Italian kitchen inside of a Southern parlor room. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's true. And the restaurant looks out upon the quaint downtown street of this Kansas City suburb through giant, floor-to-ceiling windows. So beautiful. Service was great, as well. The server knew the menu very well, and was able to answer a few questions, guiding me to the correct thing to order. The apps, entrees, and dessert were all paced well, too. Service lead to a lovely evening. As for the food, we started off with the Not-So-Standard Potato Chips (parmesan, sauce flight: gold sauce, comeback sauce, black pepper bourbon ketchup). These were very good. House cooked chips that were just thick enough, had a good bite to them, and were absolutely covered in luscious parm. The sauce flight was fun, too. Keep the leftovers around to pair with the rest of your meal. Onto the Low Country Pimento Cheese (fried saltine crackers, candied black pepper bacon, bread & butter pickles, tomato jalapeño jam). Hillbilly charcuterie. Lots of fun to mix and match some bacon, some pickles, a little jam, all on those very unctuous Saltines. Very fun app. My main was the Brick Pressed Chicken (lemon & thyme brine, prosciutto & sausage bread pudding, caramelized cabbage, lemon & shallot cream sauce). Chicken was cooked to a charred perfection, that savory bread pudding was just an amazing as it sounds, and the cream sauce really brightened everything up. I don't usually get chicken, but I'm telling you, this was the chicken to get. I also got to try one of the nightly specials, some sort of cheesy parmesan pasta covered in black truffle shavings. It was as extravagant as it sounds. Fresh-made pastas, giant chunks of lobster, cheesy ooey gooey, and those truffle shavings add just a touch of class and umami that really made this a good pasta dish. We finished up with the Gram & Dun Bar (chocolate peanut and pretzel nougat, marshmallow cream cheese, chocolate mousse, peanut butter ice cream). Again, another thing I don't usually go for, the dessert bar, but this place did it in a way I haven't seen before. Each layer added to the dessert. Nougat, cream cheese, and mousse, all tied together with that cold, creamy peanut butter ice cream. So so good. Overall, as good as this place was on paper, Gram & Dun really blew me away. Really elegant food, found right in the heart of the country. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would come back in a heartbeat.

The chicken was perfect, hard to mess up chicken and waffles, I know, but it was still on point. The salmon dish was excellent and flavorful.
