Eating here should be on your bucket list, and get a slice. I loved my bacon and goat cheese slice. The sausage and green pepper was yums too.

Melissa Gray

They have airplane seats in the back! Sunday nights at 8/8:30pm you can watch a movie outside under the stars with food, drinks and a fire. Yummy New York style pizza ! Highly recommend.

Patrick Fee

This place is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly locals. Food is amazing. The cheesesteaks here are better than any I've had anywhere else. They also serve local products ... 360 Vodka !!!

Michael Corner

All the way from the Lou. Best way to finish a weekend visit. #hairofthedog Come every time we visit KC. Driving home w pizza chili bomb in back was hell. #giftforwifey Missin cheesesteak @grinderskc

Amy Moritz

Based on the other reviews I think you can get pretty much anything here and love it. I've had the Philly with both cheeses and the pair salad with candied walnuts and Gorgonzola both were awesome!

Theresa O'Leary

This place is a Kansas City institution. They are known for their pizza and grinders. This area is the place to be on First Fridays and they also have concerts right in their backyard .

Jason Davis

Great pizzas and cheesesteaks . Check to see if there is a concert out back before coming, because it will be packed.

Theresa O'Leary

This place is an institution. The perfect down and dirty place to get a grinder or pizza . Perfect spot for pre-concert food, and it is PACKED on First Fridays .

Scott Schwartz

Good beer selection . Phillies were darn good. The large fry was about 10 fries which is a dissapointment for the 7 bucks charged when chili and cheese added. Would go again though. Neat place.

Jenny L.

Le Hog pizza , craft beer , live music in back (non-winter months). Check out the taste beerings they have every few months.

Kansas City

This Crossroads Arts District road food joint is the creation of the artist , Stretch, the Philadelphia-born sculptor with a passion for Cheesesteaks . Food that’s easy on the eyes & deadly for the diet

Kevin Fox

You can never go wrong with a Philly. Make sure you get both cheeses ! Also, the Smoked Gouda Potato Casserole is a delicious side.

AJ Vanderhorst

The chicken paprikash by chef George from Cyprus is so good you'll want to eat the skin. Don't miss it if he's in the house.

Chris Colvin

Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Chanel...pizza is great (and interesting choices) funky dough and a beer is a must for first timers...2 for 1 slices and $2 mimosas on Sun

Buddy Hunter

Pizza=good! Had some good service & a bad bartendar inside.. Find it odd when I'm paying for a whole table of 8 drinks, I was only able to do it 2 drinks at a time. Up in air if I will return

Jessica Best

Ahi tuna salad is shockingly delish for a place that specializes in great 'za! Worth coming just for that, but be warned, it's not on the event menu.

Amy Norris

The west club doesn't get the love it deserves. It's the best sandwich in the history of sandwich .

Simon Kuo

One of the best places to hear live music . Get a pizza and a beer and sit out back!

Mick B

Wipe your schedule if you plan on eating here. Zesty pizza and tasty cheesesteaks make up for the casual , I'll-get-to-you-whenever-I-get-to-you service. Deodorant optional.

Mickey Smeltzer

Very cool and hip place. Philly and the chili bomb pizza are phenomenal! Bloody Marys are relish !

Refe

The California BLT is the best in the city , and it comes with their homemade chips . Great place to see a show, too.

Jennifer Brown Alonzo

Love grinders. The roast beef was perfect! The wait staff was the best. Can't wait to go back!

Kaitlyn Williams

Crab Rangoon and Wings - SO GOOD. Wimpy sauce was plenty hot. Tried the Bengal Tiger pizza ... Interesting. But tasted way too much like curry for me.

Jennifer Fish

Great pizza and death wings ! If you like heat but not overpowering heat, get the molten sauce!

Kent West

Had the meat pizza and it was great.

Michael C

Philly steak and pizza pie ... and beer #grinderskansascity #beer pizza

Sarah

Came for 3 for $1 tacos on Thursday only to find out they were out of tacos . The pizza we had instead was delish. Skip the cocktails and order a beer .

Raymond Smith

The Bengal Tiger pizza was really great. A nice change of flavor for a pizza with the tandoori chicken and cilantro . Yum!

Kelsey Hayes

They serve a pizza here with a mountain of chili and tater tots in the middle of it. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Bob Specht

Get half a Philly with both cheeses AND a slice. It's the path to heaven.

Chris Lewman

Try the Fungi Pizza - Everyone loved this the best out of the margarita and the meat pizza

Scotty Martin

Awesome people...... love the calzones and great beer selection

Charlotte Joos

Loved the food and atmosphere! Go hungry... Big pizza slices and hefty sandwiches !

Kate Vroman

I got a greek salad with a feta and oregano vinaigrette and although it was good, my bill was over $14 after tip and there wasn’t any meat that came on my salad , that would’ve added $3 additionally.

Kansas City

Guy Fieri raved about the Bengal Tiger, a tandoori chicken pizza inspired by the flavors of Northwest India that he called “funklicious.”

DatsDatNigga MRS.Reese... TLR & ALR FOREVER!!!
