BRGR Kitchen + Bar

BRGR has been open in this location for a long time now, and up until recently I had only been once or twice long ago. The first time I visited this location years ago was with friends, back when we were all in our 20s or early 30s and without children. I remember liking it, but not loving it. It was a place that we went to from time to time but I didn't ever crave. Flash forward and BRGR has done something I think is hard to do: they have gotten better with age. Now, I'm not sure if it's that BRGR has changed any of their recipes, or ambiance, or even anything at all, or if it's that I've changed. I'm guessing it's the latter, as I've now been to BRGR two times within the past three months and it's largely because I have kids and the food is actually really good. The first time I went back to BRGR recently was in December. My older daughter and I had a date with my cousin and her daughter to go see Glow Wild at the Zoo and my cousin recommended we stop here for an early dinner first. It seemed like a solid choice since my four year old LOVES burgers and I hadn't been in a while. We arrived, they seated us, and immediately I fell in love all over again with BRGR. First of all, something I never noticed in my twenties was how family friendly it is. They have booster seats, infant car seat holders, the whole nine yards. The restrooms even have stools for little ones so they can reach the sink - in my daughter's mind this is the best thing ever, and I love it too because it saves me from having to awkwardly hold her up so she can wash. Something else worth noting is that I realized quickly that when you dine here before, say 7pm, the whole place is FILLED with families. For good reason too because aside from all the perks I've already mentioned, they have a great kids meal. I think it's around 8 dollars and your kiddo gets a burger, fries, and a drink. I mean, come on, you can't beat that. To add on to all of this, both times I've been back my food has been on point, and they have a great taplist. All in all, I think BRGR is a top notch place you can go and still support local, while wanting a meal out with your young family. KC needs more places like this that blur the boundaries between a meal out, and feeling okay bringing the kids along.

Poor service Burger was 5 rated We had a jucy lucy burgerIt was ok and over priced Server needs work

Great burgers, prompt service, great patio when the weather is nice. Tried the pickle fries this time and they were so good! They are cut like fries instead of chips. They have an amazing Monday night special- $30 for 4 burgers and fries.

Pretty pricey for what you get, in my opinion. Happy hour deviled eggs were lackluster. Brussels sprouts were different and decent, never had blue cheese with them, nice addition to the taste buds. They do not have side salads, only half or full. They have a good variety of burgers. Everything seems to have a twist on it which is nice than the normal bar food. Service was quick. We went around 5 on a Monday.

Needed a tasty burger, they delivered!STEAKHOUSEwagyu burger, white cheddar, garlic & thyme mushrooms, arugula, garlic & herb aioli, BRGR potato bun.Tots are so crispy you hear the crunch deep in your ears on practically every bite!The dipping sauce that comes with it is very tasty as wellBurgers are now (seemingly) more smashed than years ago, still very tasty.Now that the weather (march 2024) is getting better, there is limited patio seating.Service - at the bar was goodAmbiance - pure burger bar and I recall it can get very loud when a large crowd Fri/Sat nights.There's also Fish and Chips and a hot dog/chili dog on the menu, and chicken if you aren't craving tasty maybe wagyu burgers.

The burgers and tots were good, the fries were decent. The soda was flat and the water seemed gritty, but the shake was ok. The waitress was super nice and even moved us when the group of early twenty-somethings that had bathed in cologne arrived (seriously smelled like one of them broke the bottle on their head). One entire side of the restaurant was reserved for a private party so there was not a lot of open seating. Overall it was fine. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Oh and the parking- downtown KC seriously needs to do something about the this. Trying to find parking downtown is just atrocious. I probably won't go back here; it was just not special enough to warrant fighting traffic and spending 15 minutes finding parking that was not a mile away. If you are handicapped or incapacitated in any way, downtown KC is not the place for you.

The food was delicious. The steakhouse burger was amazing. The truffle tots and perfectly garlicky seasoned onion rings with their "special sauce" were wonderful and largely portioned. My toddlers ate everything which is rare and they ended it with fancy ice cream with cookie crumbles and m and m's. This is random, but they even have stools in the bathroom for kids! Our server, Drew/ what a stud! We'll be back to see him! Love it here!

I have never had a bad burger at BRGR. Your mileage may vary, but I have been fortunate. I have a goal to try each of the burgers on the regular menu at least once, but their seasonal offerings are usually so tempting I often get one of those. Most recently I tried the Gonzo, a hatch green chile burger with roasted bacon and scallion aioli, chopped candied bacon, and a jalapeño bun. Delightful. The fries, the tots, the o-rings are all very good. The squeaky cheese and pickle fries are also awesome. The service is typically competent and efficient. It's a great spot for date night when we want to feel like we went somewhere a little bit more upscale than our usual divey burger place.

Upscale burger bistro with big flavors and relatively low prices. They offer a wide variety of unique burgers that have all been delicious. The sides are pretty good too, but have to be ordered separately so that drives the price up just a bit. The host and waiter were very kind and checked in on us often. I ordered the steakhouse burger and shared the combo of fries, tots, and onion rings. The actual restaurant was clean and the ambiance added to the dining experience.

So went back with wife for 2nd try. Got the Road Hoss burger again, wife got the pretzel with cheese dip. This time ordered the burger medium rare which was tastier and love the onion straws. Generous amount of thick tasty bacon. Needed pickles and extra bbq sauce. The pretzels were amazing! Warm, soft inside with a nice crust. Not overly salted. The jalapeño cheese dip was delish. 2 pretzels meant plenty to take home for later. This place is growing on me.
