Was blown away by a 78$ bill for 2 burgers, Mac and cheese and some fries. Be prepared to drop some cash for mid food. Good service. Was annoyed by loud drunk women next to us at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I know that's not the establishments fault.

We had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it wasn’t good .
We ordered the big fish and fries & salad food took 20 min to come wasn’t even busy yet , salad didn’t even come out first salad has way to much parmasean cheese croutons were hard as a rock not eatable , salad pieces were browning , the fish sandwich was pretty good but the buns were hard . Fries were good . Not mention the restaurant was very old looking , sat next to this old antique cabinet very dirty & dusty had Cobb webs . Server was very friendly tho , not support attentive Are food was $50 and we still shared a meal .

Beer Kitchen in KC truly exceeded our expectations for a birthday brunch celebration! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. Our server, Lohgann, was absolutely phenomenal. We were celebrating a friend who primarily speaks Spanish, and Lohgann went above and beyond to ensure she felt completely comfortable and understood, even using their phone to translate! That level of personalized, inclusive customer service is truly remarkable and rarely seen.
To start, we ordered the baby donuts and waffle sticks, and wow, what an excellent choice! They were absolutely delicious and the perfect way to kick off our meal. For our main courses, we enjoyed the waffle and chicken, a perfectly cooked salmon, and the avocado egg Benedict – every dish was top-notch and bursting with flavor.
We highly recommend Beer Kitchen, not only for their fantastic food but especially for their outstanding service. A huge thank you to Lohgann for creating such an excellent and inclusive space for us to celebrate our friend's birthday. We will definitely be back!

Came here the other night for music bingo and costume contest, our order got mixed up (it happens) but the manager, August, came over and got it fixed right away and was super nice about it.
Came back on Sunday because they had an interesting brunch menu… it did not disappoint! Again, staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was good and that we had a great experience. Highly recommend!
