We were told about the Peanut. We read about the wings. People raved about it. Well, tonight we tried it. Wow!!! These are the best wings my wife and I have ever had! Buffalo wing perfection! We had them in Buffalo this summer and these wings are WAY better!!The Peanut burger was absolutely delicious!! Wow! Wing sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion and blue cheese crumbles. It goes so well with the wings!! The Triple BLT was outstanding!! We will be back for sure. Our amazing server, Madison, got us out on time for a concert. She works Tuesday and Sunday. Ask for her. She's brilliant! We loved the vibe here. They have booths, high tops and tables. The Peanut is epic!

Among all the joints in this specific strip mall, The Peanut is the premiere chub n tuck + domestics vibes for the big game. Just watch out for any rogue emoters! They get a little excited on those key plays in the 2nd qtr--LOL. My group ordered a pail of domestics, a round of waters, and a few tasty plates. Plate 1 consisted of salty snetzel bites. They were log shaped and awesome. I cannot speak for the flavor, I was still full from the local sub sandwich I picked up for lunch (did I mention I'm a foodie XD). Numero uno included 2 dips which I believe were mix and match. My buddy selected cheese and dijon. The look and texture of the dijon reminded me of a recent surprise encounter I had with Jayhawk butter. I'll save that story for another time.Let's get to plate 2. Plate 2 was the carb flight. They gave it some quirky clever name like "Appetizer Combo." This one also included sauces--3 of them believe it or not. Dealers choice on those swawses. I was relieved to see that Plate 2 had some chicken on it. I worry about my friends not getting enough protein so that was nice to see. Although later my buddy gave me that look. Like his tummy was doing tricks. All good though. Plate 3 was a super sized take on the classic turkey pinwheel. So they took a pinwheel and kinda expanded it and added girth by using a full tortilla instead of cutting it first. Genius! Add a little bacon and you got any bronco bucking.I enjoyed my water but I sorta feared that maybe their ice machine has mold in it because I recently saw an IG reel with ice machine mold. Yeah at one point an ice cube was crawling its way into the opening of a domestic. You know how they have to do that thing where they open the can so that people are too scared to leave it undranken? Kinda scared me to think of that cube as a bug or something crawling into the poor brew.. This review is looking pretty epic Yelp tells me! Nice!

I know it's a Kansas City institution. However, this is NOT the original Peanut, and it never will be...to me, it will always be the Peanut in Kansas. The food is traditional bar fare with nothing too exciting on the menu. So, unless you're here for the famous wings, there isn't much to look at. If you are a visitor from out of town, then please take my advice and visit one of the other locations, either the OG on 51st and Main or the divest one downtown. Now, call me crazy but I'm a boneless wings girl, so the thought (and site) of full on (and I do mean FULL) chicken wings slathered in a neon red hued sauce isn't on my list of things to order. So, this Peanut at least has a larger menu than some of the other locations, meaning you can order sandwiches and such and aren't limited to wings and nachos. But, when in doubt, the nachos will always do and go great with a beer. My overall rating is lower for this location just because the history just isn't there. It isn't "divey" enough, it's just too clean (haha) but also, it's a lot more spacious than the other locations so it just doesn't feel intimate enough for a neighborhood bar. This Peanut is more family friendly, though, so if that's what you're into, then this might be the *restaurant* (notably not bar) for you.

I changed my rating from 4 to 5 based upon LOCATION!Most of my previous experiences occurred at the Metcalf location. The Peanut in Mission is LIT!!! So much fun! Big crowds, fun patrons, bulletproof waitresses, sparkling clean facilities(despite the size), makes this location stand apart from the others. And to top it all off their craft beer offerings, and their food coming out of the kitchen makes this the best sports bar in Kansas City

Visited the Peanut tonight for our book club meeting. Probably not the best choice for book discussion lol because this place was hoppin! Super busy, fun atmosphere. Definitely a good spot to hang out with friends and watch some sports on the many TVs throughout the business. We ordered several starters, mini corn dogs with honey mustard, delicious; friend pickles with ranch, even more delicious; and chips and queso. I ordered the taco salad for my main entree. It was good! A little spicy! I also ordered the apple aperol spritz, it was so good I had to have 2!

I had some okay mac and cheese and some very good onion rings for takeout here the other night. Not too busy at all when I went on a Tuesday evening, it was spacious and open, with classic wood bar furniture and a huge long bar that took up the entire long side of the room with TVs over it. The bartender took my carryout order and I waited at the bar for it to come out. It did not take a long time at all. I can imagine this place could easily be a casual evening in Mission, or to watch a sports game with a large group of friends. Solid food options.

Beware.....if your sitting at the bar check your receipt closely because the bartenders add drinks to your order that you did not have. It has happen to me many times. This is happening mainly in the evening going into the night. Bartenders do better this is bad business to over charge customers. The food is good at The Peanuts on Martway in Shawnee but adding drinks to my order I did not have is just badddd business.
