Barley's Kitchen + Tap

I'm going to start this off with off with I was there right before a musical group was going to perform that I knew draws a large crowd. So some of this review may not be a typical experience. If you come in and are expecting a table to eat or sit out PLEASE check in at the hostess stand!!! I had gotten seated at a table and was waiting on the rest of my party to show up. I had RUDE guest try and get me to move so that they could sit together as a large party, steal my chairs because I was by myself at the time. However the Staff was AMAZING!!! Our Waitress Bri (not sure is spelled correctly) and the manager handled all the rude customers like champs and were on top of it all night long!!Bri checked up on our table better that I have had an most places when they weren't busy, we almost never had to wait on a drink or food or anything and when we did it was a very short wait. I got the Cheddar soup as and App while I was waiting on everyone, It was a good size portion and had really good flavor. For my main I got the Fish and chips and my friend got the Bourbon Glazed Salmon. All food came out amazingly quick and were large portions. The fish and chips looked like I have two full size fish. I didn't try the Salmon but it looked really good as well. Drink wise they have a handful of signature cocktails and a full list of Spirits. If I remember correctly they had 99 beer options. Yes that is a lot but they have not only beer folders for the table for you to look at but also the TV displays that scroll the beer options. Again even with a crowd we had very little wait for beers. The staff did an amazing job!!

We came in with a larger group. We did make a reservation well in advance so they knew we were coming. The service was slow at best. The food was great. I got a mushroom swiss burger and it was delicious. Cooked well and the fries were great too! Great food, decent service.

I have been here before and since I was in town my friends brought me here. The place is huge and well thought out. It's a beer house type of place. The food is good and tasty although today the server forgot to bring my friends soup out until the dinner and it was not hot. My BLT was real good (I added avocado) but today the bacon was super salty. Still, I will go back cause this was the 1st time that happened. The server, although distracted was still a very nice gal.

We were in town for a hockey tournament and our team manager gathered all the players and parents for an after game late lunch at Barley's.. It was literally walking distance from the hotel that we were staying so it's very easy to access.We entered the place and we were immediately directed to a large area. The ambiance inside is really nice, the feel of real sports bar can easily be distinguished. The server was very knowledgeable and catered to all our needs, apparently they are very well versed with a hockey team coming in for a big group dining. our server was very nice and very organized, he is the only one who handled everybody's order. We were 30 at a minimum so that was very impressive.Our order came in and it was served still hot, which is nice. The cheese curds with the dip is so god. I can't remember the last time I've had a fried cheese curds but these were really good. I asked for a list of their draft beers and the server said there are over 90, but suggested Yuengling.. so I got one and it's still very cold when served, felt like the glass was in a freezer.I ordered just the spicy chicken wrap and it's ok, nothing too special about it.. I like wraps because it's easy and clean to eat, nothing dripping like sandwiches or burgers. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich and she liked the taste and the serving was really big, she can't finish all of 'em. My youngest ordered the alfredo pasta, and he liked it.. but was too sleepy to finish so we boxed it and ate it at dinner.The stay was nice overall and it was an easy 20% tip for our server for doing such a good job of keeping up with all of us who dined in.

Love love love the service and selections but the beer always seems refrigerated poorly. When I think of Barley's I get excited to try new beers on tap but I generally expect them to be served cold-ish. Tonight I tried the Black Bean "dip" and although the flavor was great we thought we had mistakenly been brought soup. Served with pita and chips was a bit of a joke. The black bean dip should definitely be turned into a soup on the menu. Very confused by this. We love Barley's but not somewhere we frequent although we live down the street.

Great service and there are vegan options with modifications. The veggie patty is vegetarian, NOT vegan. However, the salads are fantastic option and you can add avocado or additional vegetables for a small up charge. You can also get the bean deal and remove the cheese! We have someone in our party who is a huge club sandwich fan, they did claim their club sandwich is one of the best in the KC area. However, ask for it not toasted. Great place for live music and the staff is very accommodating.

Had a great night with friends, listening to The Stolen Winnebagos, & having drinks. Aaron, our server, warmed up to our large group and we had a lot of fun with him. Food & drinks were good but crazy expensive. For us this isn't a place we'd be able to afford very often but will definitely go to whenever the Stolen Winnebagos are there, even if the place is packed!

We went to Barley's on a Friday night and it was fairly busy. We got sat down with no wait or reservation quickly. We waited around 10 minutes before we got our waters/when our waiter approached us. We ordered an appetizer and never received it and the waiter realized she never put the appetizer in. It's a simple mistake and can be due to technology but we were a bit disappointed with those two events. I got the Spicy chicken sandwich which is my usual go to due to how amazing the sauce is! It's a sweet and spicy chili sauce and I always ask for extra sauce to drench the sandwich in. The fries were cooked perfectly! The alfredo pasta was a bit bland as it didn't have much seasoning. Overall, the food was mediocre and the service was the same.

Wanted to step out on faith and try a new Restaurant for Restaurant Week 24. Came early and sat at the bar for happy hour. (3:00-6:00pm). Our dinner reservations was at 6:15pm and we sat at a booth. The service was quick and professional. The ambiance was great. The food was great, our order consisted of Tank 7 Chicken and Chicken & Shrimp w Rice. The dessert was Mango Cheesecake and Brownie.

I wouldn't count on the curb service, you'll likely have to walk in and get your food. Fish & chips used to be great, now still OK but nothing special. They appear to be more of a bar now, with food being secondary. Probably deserves 3 stars overall, but since I raised similar concerns a year or so ago, just don't think management is much interested in the feedback. No responses ever seen. Ambiance is appears good for a bar.
