Christine’s Firehouse on 20th Bar & Grill

OMG!!! The best tenderloin! Will most definitely be back again… soon!!! Great atmosphere.

Great food & nice food, but clearly understaffed! Had 1 beer and food and never saw our waitress again. Staff didn’t seem very welcoming to new customers.

They have the BEST TENDERLOIN and the atmosphere was great! Plus the prices are great since they are not trying to rob you for a drink!

I’m still mad about what happened. I’ve cooled down enough to write my review, though. It was Snake Saturday, a fun day in North Kansas City to celebrate St. Patty’s. My husband and I walked in the parade (and then everywhere else) and decided to stop in at this place with the awesome sounding band. We walked in, bought drinks, found a seat and really enjoyed the music. We planned on staying quite a while. We were sitting near the bathrooms where it seemed people were going in and out like normal. I got up to use it and the door was locked with a sign that said the bathrooms were outside. So, I walked outside. I didn’t see any restrooms so I just decided to hold it and figure it out. That’s when I see a woman walk up with a key and let several ladies in the restroom. I went up and nicely asked if I could use it. She said in a nasty tone, ‘the restrooms are out back, the ones inside are for employees.’ I told her I walked out back and didn’t see them. She says I would need to walk further. Mind you, it wasn’t just employees using the restroom. Hubby gets involved and asks very politely where and she pretty much shouted about them being out back and how she didn’t see me walk outside. The very rude woman went on with the hubby for a minute and we walked out with several paying customers following. Which sucked because the place seemed like it was going to be cool for us to hang out at. It’s unfortunate that this woman has no concept of how to treat customers and is in an obvious position of authority at this bar.

Went here for lunch the other day. And it ended up being taco Tuesday, they have 6 inch tacos fully loaded for a dollar and they are amazing. They actually make their taco shells in house they are fresh and crispy. The taco meat is very fine and seasoned to perfection, the tomatoes and lettuce are also nicely diced and they have a great salsa.
Since it was lunchtime and we had to go back to work we stuck with sodas and lemonade. They have a great lemonade. Wait staff was very professional and seem to know a lot of the locals by name, very fast and efficient and kept our glasses full asked if we needed anything else and brought us extra napkins.
They had a very large menu for a bar with quite a bit of variety and we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.
