Burg Barrel Overland Park

When you see Burg Barrel online, you might think blue collar joint. Go to places across the country like Founding Fathers in Buffalo, Gooski's in Pittsburgh or the Green Lady lounge right here in KC and you will get old school places that have become Instagram cool, some by being who they are, others it is more manufactured. I'm not sure what Burg Barrel is. It seems to have a bit of a local crowd, but it also has the rust belt hipster crowd as well. However, what many of these places offer is an old school dining experience, something that is right up my alley. I didn't realize it until I pulled up, but I had been here before, around 10 years ago and I vaguely remembered it being good, so I had some expectations going in. I ordered the Smokehouse burger with a beer and my bill came out to around $28 with tax and tip. While they get a thumbs up for serving the Yuengling Hershey Porter (PA got to support PA) the burger itself was disappointing and perplexing at the same time. It was extremely greasy to the point it ate through the tomato and lettuce and dissolved the bottom bun, but biting into it, the burger itself was on the dry side. Not very good, without much flavor and required a knife and fork to eat. The fries were okay, but they tasted like fries you can get anywhere, including the frozen food aisle and the portion was on the small side. The service was okay, courteous but impersonal, considering for a while, I was the only one at the bar. Like in many bars, I noticed that the servers like talking more to themselves than with the customers. In a recent review, I raved about the service I got from Atomic Cowboy down the street, B B could learn a bit from them. In 2015-2016 when I was here last, this area was pretty bare and choices were slim. Now, with the resurgence of downtown OP, there are many choices and places have to up their game.

Burg and Barrel is a great place to grab a boujee burger. They have a wide variety of craft beer on tap and also in cans and bottles. They always have good options on tap that you can't always find at other places. They also offer cocktails and such if you're not into beer. Food wise, there's something for everyone. They have burgers, duh, but also chicken, wraps, and vegetarian options. I mostly stick to the burgers but others I've dined with have had a few different offerings and I've never heard a complaint. My favorite is the PB E burger. Certified Angus Beef patty, Applewood smoked bacon, Carolina reaper cheese, peanut butter, sriracha over easy egg. It's such a unique combination and I love all the flavors. They have more classic burgers if peanut butter on a burger isn't your thing. The tots are also always good! There's lots of tvs that have on all the sports ball games on and the service is always friendly. And it's always clean even when it's busy. I like to grab a seat at the bar, grab a beer on tap, and order some grub to go. Definitely check them out!

Food good Service good Ambiance it's a bar and grill Had the smoke house burger tasty but fell apart Fries are good For appetizer I can recommend the fried goat cheese with pesto sauce No longer on the Menu is the Goyte burger (burger with goat cheese) that was a nice combo. Plenty of Beer Selection here including NA beer like Wellbeing Wheat and a few more.

This restaurant is a hidden gem located in a strip mall. We decided to stop in for a quick bite while running errands and ordered two appetizers: Totchos and fried goat cheese with chimichurri. Both dishes were served hot and fresh. The Totchos seemed to have all the toppings ended up at the bottom of the bowl, but we felt that some fresh pico de gallo would improve the dish. As we were leaving, we noticed a towering 5-inch high burger being served to another customer, so we plan to return to try it out. The bartender and server, Aubrey, was excellent and we appreciated the unique high-up beer taps in the establishment.

BURG BARREL is one of our go-to spots! We like the laid back atmosphere, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. Emma, our most recent server, was top-notch. She was attentive, super friendly personable, and customer service oriented.
