Callahan’s West

Bbq was excellent with really reasonable prices… they smoke all their own meat and hand made blue cheese and bbq sauce are the cherry on top. Service was great and cool pub atmosphere.

Staff is slow but I haven’t experienced any rudeness. The hamburgers and chicken strips are great. The smoked tacos are ok and the happy hour prices are great on cocktails.

Best Pizza in KC! We met some family there last night who had never eaten there and they agreed the pizza is amazing!

I find it hard to believe that Callahan;s West advertises itself as a Green Bay Packers watch bar. Midway through a Monday Night Football game featuring the Packers, earlier than 10 p.m. on a Monday night, several servers and then a manager went out of their way to try to force us to leave while we were watching the game, clad in our Packers clothing. They vacuumed under our table, stacked chairs (loudly and with a flourish) upside down on tables all around our table, and asked us pointedly many times if we were finished and if we were going to order anything else. Other sports bars which advertise themselves as Packers bars in our city let you sit and watch the game to the end. We were not drunk or disorderly in the least on this occasion. And what is up with a bar trying hard to close before 10 p.m. It was the most rude experience I have had in a public place in a very long time. What could they have been thinking? Why do they have a Packers flag and a Packers wall art decoration in their bar if they don’t want fans to come and watch the game?

Rude rude rude and obviously don’t care about business. 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a couple small kids at 3:45 on a Saturday after baseball. All tables but 4 were reserved, no one greeted us, no one came to our table and were there about 10 minutes. We left. Thanks but no thanks. food is good, but I am not giving my money to people that act like they don’t need it.

Between the «Fish Tacos» that taste like Gordens Fisherman fish sticks, Burrito Bites that taste like they are filled with canned Purina dog food, I can say this is one of the worst places I’ve ate.
On the upside, if you just want tater tots only, then it’s great.

We were in KC for a hockey tournament and needed a place to go for a team dinner. They were great. Food was very good, we had a wide sampling of the menu with so many (25ish) people ordering. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. A friend really enjoyed the green olive pizza. I had a very good burger. The service was friendly and fairly quick for such a large group. We are going back for another tournament soon and will keep this place on the short list.

Great bar and grill. Food is good (awesome pizza and wings) and the beer is cold and priced right! PBR on tap. Boom!

We started eating at Callahan’s on 87^th and realized that there was one much closer to our house. Unsure if the food would be as good, we decided to it a shot.
We were not disappointed.
My favorite is the Ruben. They pile it high with meat and grill it to perfection. The tater tots are always hot and crispy. We are not big on the desserts, but that is not why we go there. The main dishes are never a disappointment.
Service is nice, but not super fast. We have learned to accept that fact. It is still worth going.
I do agree that if the lot is full and if you see a lot of baseball uniforms, the wait will be Very long. That should also tell you that if the parents and all those kids like it… they must be doing something right.

tots = love
the end.

Very forgettable. Perfect for the BLCT crowd (bud light chicken tenders). I think someone in your party must be wearing baseball cleats to come here. Why wouldn’t hit up johnny’s instead?

Good burgers, and surprisingly, pretty decent fish tacos. The tenderloins are legendary, but far too large for me to eat by myself, so I don’t get them very often… otherwise it would be my favorite. They can get very crowded when a couple of baseball teams come in at once (they are across the street from a large sports complex) and the service occasionally suffers for it – if you see a bunch of boys in uniforms hanging around, be prepared to wait a while for your food. Worth the wait though.
Edit: Another reviewer makes a joke about wearing cleats into the restaurant, but in fact, they don’t allow it. Make your kid change his shoes in the car :-)

Good food and service. Ribs always good

What sets one sports bar apart from any other? In my opinion, it is only two things. The price of their beer and the quality of the food.
Callahans Western Lenexa store can give you both good beer prices and good food. My fave is their tenderloin… a mega monster of breaded pork. Hard to tell from the photos but under that slab of pig is both halves of the bun and the toppings. Screaming hot when it hit the table, I had to do a «fold over» for it to fit better on the bun, making a double decker sandwich. A large mouth (like mine) is required to devour such a beast.
The burgers, and other sandwiches are also of good rating, but the pork brings me back.
Have not tried the pizza, so cant comment on that. The interior is pure sports bar. Can be noisy and busy. Patio seating is available in the right weather.
Take warning however, it is across the street from a large ball complex with multiple fields, can be extremely hectic during usage of these sports fields!
The one thing that I have to mention that really pulls off a 5 star rating is the «take away» charge for call in-​carry out orders. This was lowered on some of my crowd on previous visits. I just can’t swallow that. Carry out sandwich orders go to a competitor just because of this fact.
