Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery

To be fair… this place is somewhat new. The food was good but not great. A little tweaking on some of the recipes with a little bit of a flair for style could go a long way on the plate.
The atmosphere and staff are why I WILL go back probably many times. They were receptive to feedback and a fun and lively bunch while still being attentive to your dining experience. The bar is fantastic.
I am hoping that I will be updating this to at least four stars soon.

This is the second time I have visited the TK and both times I have sat at the bar. My experience has been almost identical, the email bartender is less than attentive to those sitting at the bar.
The facility is great with plenty of seating and broken up so that the large space allowed for separation creating unique experiences. Beer is cold and I still have not sampled the menus. Why the two stars? The staff is low energy, low engagement and average. I’ve been siting her for 30 min and the bartender has check in with me once and her cell phone three times. The phone is in a cabinet and she keeps squatting down to check it. Driving me crazy. By the way, my beer bottle is empty! Too many choices in OP to ever come back!

Came in back in September and had a lovely evening of Guinness, Guinness boneless wings, and a smattering of appetizer sampler offerings. The food was on par to good, the waitress was on point with drinks, and it wasn’t terribly expensive. All in all, it was a good experience. I’m frightfully surprised that so many people have had issues here. Maybe I just had the one good experience?

I’ve been here twice and each time it’s been garbage. The service is AWFUL the food does not taste good at all. The last time I went our waitress messed everything up, quoted our drinks wrong, just plain didn’t bring our drinks until we said something. The food is bland and the two times it’s been cold and burnt. I will never return.

Came to the kilt today with a large party for the Chiefs playoff game. Probably the worst sports bar experience I’ve ever had. 1) we arrived to an offer of $ 8 pitchers, however the bud light was out. 2) I asked the waitress for a list of beers they have on draft. She couldn’t tell me more than 4. I had to go to the bar and look myself and then hunt her down to tell her what I wanted. 3) we were sitting next to the fireplace in the back room, probably the best part of this place, but then the glass door exploded and glass flew all over the room 4) my friend ordered a bowl of soup but received a cup which she asked to trade back for a bowl… Which was never delivered. 5) multiple times we were out of drinks for 20 – 30 minutes with no contact from the wait staff 6) when people ordered food the staff would deliver it to the entire room by yelling out what it was and asking who ordered it 7) our waitress came back to the table smelling like smoke several times 8) bad drinks had to be returned directly to the bar because we couldn’t find the waitress… The bartender tasted said drinks and made a face, then explained that the ingredients were probably not fresh 9) so much more I could say but let’s be honest… Doesn’t matter because I WILL NOT BE RETURNING. (Oh and no offers for discounts based on the awful service were made)

I’ve been in quite a few times since it opened. First 3 times were not good, service wise. I kept going back and it eventually got better. Had one girl that would recognize me and greet me and treat me like a friend. Eventually, she moved on to a new job.
Sometimes you wait a long time before someone notices you, even the bartender. Do these girls even want to work here? A individual customer would usually come in the bar, after work to just talk to someone and rant about their day (some would even want to let the waitress rant or talk about how their day is going, as I do)) but that’s how good tips are made (speaking as a former bartender), especially in a establishment as this.
Unless the customer is being openly rude, or perverted: there’s no reason for the waitress to be seldom/​shy to the customer, especially for pub that promotes a social and friendly waitress! If you want terrific tips, treat the customers like gold, and gold is what you get (there will be those damn cheapskates now and then)
Last time I went i almost walked out, I again waited a long time before someone came to me, and ended up getting a waitress who rarely came back or talked, like I felt I’ve done something wrong. It really made me feel like a burden.
Part of my problem is I am to patient and hate causing a public scene even is if it’s just talking to a manager, which is why I chose to write my rant on here. Overall, it’s very unwelcoming at least for me, making me feel like I should not be there.
it is a great location, atmosphere and decent food & drink.

We had lunch here on Dec 19. It was freezing cold in there we had to eat with our coats on and the poor girls working there were cold. It took a long time to get out drinks, food and check. My husband used the restroom before we left and said all the toilets and urinal were broke and obviously had run over because the floor was wet and there was black water standing in the toilets. The manager needs to be fired

Amazingly easy to get into and pick a table on a Saturday night where there were playoff baseball, hockey and college football games on about 40 tv sets. There was an Arkansas watch party there, but in the back (my team too, but we hung out up front to watch K-​State on the big (projection) tv.
Our server was excellent — taking some time to get to know us (me, my wife, our 9 year old, and a friend of ours from the local area). Very attentive throughout our evening, motivated and giving similar great service to tables around us, too. Other servers came by to check on us for water and other needs across the night — great service and attentiveness.
While our appetizer was slow to come out, it seemed the problem was in the kitchen, not the server, and she comped us another appetizer while we waited — and they did this without us asking — nice.
We had two managers check in with us across the evening, also apologizing about the slow turn on food earlier, but they genuinely seemed to care about their work here.
Dinners were good — shepherd’s pie could be a tad juicer (add a touch of gravy from the Irish stew, maybe?) but tasty. My wife had the Irish stew (very good) and our friend and son had burgers — well executed.
Worth a try, folks — the place is big, food is pretty good, and if you want to watch sports, lots of tvs to view from every seat.

I can’t understand what some of these reviews are talking about. And I’m the one wearing glasses! Lol. Anyway, the food is flavorful. I had the «inferno burger». Very nice. Their tilted sauce is basically a watery buffalo. So, 1 star deducted for that. Our waitress was Melodie. Cool chick.

I have been to this Tilted Kilt location twice now and having been to other locations around the country I can contrast them a bit.
To start off with, the building is new so everything is nice and clean and unmarred. The food I have had in this location is about on our with most bar type food in the area, maybe a little dry. I would put it a solid 5 out of 10. There is definitely room for improvement here but it is not awful or inedible.
I don’t really drink, so I can’t comment on the alcohol or bar service, but the drinks I ordered were always delivered promptly and refilled within a reasonable amount of time. The waitress would check back fairly regularly but not too often, I would give them an A in that category.
The service and food, when compared to other TK locations, is again a solid 5. Not the greatest, not the worst. There is a lot of work to be done to be one of the best TK locations for sure. Althoug the manager of the day did come around at each visit and ask how things were, which I think is a fantastic managerial decision that more places should adopt if they are serious about improvements.
Now, the main attractor of a place like this is the girls. That’s where this TK falls a bit short. However I don’t ding this TK on that as much as I would a TK in a different city. KC unfortunately has a very shallow pool of attractive women to draw from and I would imagine an even shallower pool of women who would work at this type of establishment, so it may be a case of the hiring manager doing the best they can with what they have to work with. That’s not to say the women are unattractive, they are just average when compared to other locations. However one thing they could work on is their enthusiasm. They typically don’t seem to be too enthused to be working… I mean who is? But one of the things I like about other TK locations is the boisterous nature of the serving wenches. Even if they are faking it elsewhere, they are convincing. They don’t even appear to be trying too hard here. Again, this is not to say the service is bad or they have a negative attitude, because they don’t. They just have the same attitude you find with a waitress in Perkins or Dennys.
All in all, this location is fine for a quick lunch and a little bit of eye candy, but if you want an experience like other TK locations you will be disappointed. At least the ladies here don’t look like lumberjack lesbians at the Peaks… So that’s something.

I’m giving them 2 stars because our server was great. The food was horrible and bland. My burger had zero flavor. It was so bad that even with cheese and guacamole I had to put salt and pepper to give it any flavor.
If you’re going there for the scenery… you might be disappointed at that too.
Let this place die on the vine like every other restaurant in that location.

First timers at TK tonight and our server was great! She was MUCH friendlier than the Hooters waitresses. Also, the TK menu was superior to the fried junk dished out at Hooters. Nice to have cloth napkins instead of a roll of cheap paper towels on the table. We will be back. Ask for Natalia.

Have to agree with the group. Been to several TK’s around the U.S. and this one is clearly in last place. Disappointing. They do not have the business model dialed in and are substandard even for like competition in the area. I know it’s new and all but at some point the training wheels need to come off. It will fail if it stays on this trajectory.

Great scenery and selection of brews, food could most definitely use some help. Other than that was ok.

I’ve been to Tilted Kilts all over the country. I always enjoy the atmosphere, the food and the «scenery».
This particular TK fails on all levels. ALL the bartenders were guys. The waitresses that were on the floor seemed generally p#!?%ed off that they were there.
The food tasted like it came out of the cooler at Quik Trip and thrown in a microwave.
Considering Hooters & Twin Peaks are nearby and have significantly better food, customer service and girls, I don’t see this place lasting very long unless things change.

Haven’t even eaten yet but my husband and I waited a ridiculously long time to have anyone acknowledge us, it’s TUESDAY this place is not packed. It especially sucks that there were THREE people behind the bar (yes at the bar). I understand the girls are supposed to entertain (I was a Hooter’s girl years ago) but look around, ask if someone wants a water. Say hello, something! We had to flag down a bar back that immediately greeted a couple that walked up to the bar directly next to us… really?! If I weren’t so hungry I would have walked out. As a great tipper I’m really trying to convince myself to tip our waitress anything at all. Unacceptable.

This was quite possibly the worst dining experience I’ve ever had– and that’s saying something!
I met a friend there, and everything was going fairly smoothly until we ordered our food. We both ordered entrees, and I ordered the pretzel app to munch on while we waited. When they arrived, it was two tiny pre-​frozen pretzels, and a thimbleful of lousy cheese sauce.
It took about 25 minutes after we the app came to get our entrees. My friends order was correct, but mine was obviously not what I ordered. Since I hadn’t seen our waitress since we order the app, I started looking around for her. And looking. And looking. It took at least 10 – 15 minutes for her to get back to the table, and when I told her that wasn’t what I ordered, she said «you’re right», grabbed the plate and took off. I didn’t see her again for another 30 minutes when she brought the correct order.
My friend had been done eating for quite some time when I finally got my correct order. I had asked him how his food was, and he said «alright». His must have been much better than mine. I have had frozen dinners that were more flavorful.
I was never offered anything for all the troubles. I usually never accept anything, but as poor as the service and food was, I might have on this occasion.
Here’s the kicker of the night– While I was looking around and waiting for the correct order to come, one of the other girls stopped by the table and said that she had seen me come in, and wanted me to know that I could be a model. She was obviously sent over by a manager (I assume one was there– I never saw one). He must have noticed that all the cleavage there wasn’t providing enough distraction to overcome the poor service, which is what they are obviously hoping for. This was the biggest joke of the night, as I am a middle-​aged, normal looking guy with a receding hairline that was wearing a clearance rack shirt and clearance rack jeans.
Needless to say, I will not be a repeat customer.

I successfully infiltrated a guys night out in a group of 8.
Let’s start off with the topic of girls… because that’s probably one of the reasons why you came right? Right. Hooters definitely has more attractive girls. This establishment is a bit on the new side and it just feels like they hired the first girls that applied. I am not by any means a mean girl, but they’re a bit on the rougher side. Our server was sweet but as equally awkward.
Service is slow; be forewarned. You want another drink? When you’re about two-​thirds done with your glass, go ahead and ask for another. Otherwise, it’ll probably be about 15 minutes between beverages. I had two of the Purple Haze and they were delicious! Almost like liquefied sweet-​tarts in a glass. Food is pretty standard bar. I munched on the TK Irish Nachos and they were nothing to write home about. We went for the beer cheese on top… and it tasted like regular movie nacho cheese. Nothing special here but bland meat, a few tomatoes, and some cheese on kettle like chips.
I want to leave one star but I know there are kinks to be worked out. It’s new and of course, nothing is perfect. Hope they can get into a better flow of service.

Terrible service. Our food was served at all different times, tabs were wrong, took 30 minutes to get a glass of water! We won’t be back, very disappointed. They were awful.

It’s a great sports bar-​lots of TV’s. The food is good –not great but it’s good bar food. Lots of space at a large bar. It’s new so maybe that’s why some of the reviews have been bad about service. The shepards pie is about a 4… needs some gravy. They do have a very good pastrami sandwich with sweet potato fries. The kilt girls were friendly and like all these types of establishments… it kind of is what it is. A step up from hooters — food is a little better than twin peaks.
Update-​try talking during a big game here… management must think we all have hearing aids. Went to two big games during March basketball. Was impossible to enjoy with the sound so loud. I don’t mind loud-​but this was ridiculous-​food not as good either. Been there three times and the beer selection is great-​but really a three star joint considering all the other great dining places around.
