Always great food. Get the wings and a BLT. Drinks are good. Can get busy and a little slow at times. Wings will take 25 minutes at least (read the menu)

Ate at this restaurant/bar for dinner and it did not disappoint. They serve typical bar foods like burgers, wings, sandwiches, fries, and more. I had a burger when I was there it was cooked perfectly and it seemed like it was a fresh patty and not a frozen one that was thrown on a grill. We also got an appetizer combo and every single item on it was good as well. My son got the buffalo wings and they were huge and also quite tasty. Our server was very nice and quick with everything as well. This is a great establishment that I would highly recommend.

We came in during a 1-hour intermission from an activity we were doing down the road, for a quick bite. We had to holler for the bartender, after about 10 minutes of waiting and watching her walk around and be playful with other guests, behind the bar. After we got her attention and ordered food, everything is great. They were doing some sort of video bingo that we ultimately ended up participating in. It seems like something I'd really love to come back to sometime! Giving it five stars because it appeared the table service was much more tenacious than the bar service and if I were to come in to dine in the future, I would sit at the table. Atmosphere and entertainment was top notch. Food was good;

It's one of the better burger joints in this area, and has had a great reputation for years. The service was very prompt, friendly, and correct, as usual. I like the atmosphere here because it is smaller than some places and has a nice warm cozy feeling. They actually had one of my favorite local dark beers on tap, which was a nice surprise.

The Peanut on Metcalf The Peanut on Metcalf in Overland Park is a great local spot. The wings are amazing—easily some of the best in KC. The burgers are solid too, and the BLT with a fried egg is a must-try. The atmosphere is lively, especially during game nights, with plenty of TVs around. Service is friendly and quick, making sure you’re taken care of. If you’re looking for a laid-back place with great food and a fun crowd, this is it.

We love this place. Best buffalo chicken wings ever! At least in KC Area. They have some good Chiefs themed drinks. Nice and dark, plenty of TVs to watch the game. It's usually our home away from home when we don't want to cook. Menu has a good variety!

Great spot for game day. Atmosphere was incredible. Service was amazing. BLT came heavily recommended. I was honestly was disappointed with how much it was hyped. Tasted like a basic BLT. The rest of my party all loved their food. Definitely a spot I will revisit when in the area.

Wings are worth the stop alone! Blue cheese was the best I've had! Triple BLT was legit! Their menu is just really solid, vibe was casual, service was on it! Definitely coming back. Oh and the onion rings, iykyk, totally legit!
