“ We need more restaurants like Beer Kitchen, period. Beer Kitchen offers the perfect elevated American bar food experience. They've got burgers, but they've got deviled egg toast. They've got fish and chips, but they've got butternut squash tacos. I had some friends and town and was looking for a spot with tasty food that wouldn't break the bank or be too stuffy - Beer Kitchen answers that with truffle fries and wild salmon bowls. They have a little something for everyone, with both a gluten free and vegan menu, and they have a killer happy hour with large food items - like 2 sliders for $6. Our server was kind and attentive, letting us try beers before making our selections. The space was comfortable and laid back. The only off-putting thing about this place isn't even true - when I hear "Beer Kitchen," I think Applebee's, Chili's, etc. It's giving franchise. But I think it's a standalone Gastropub restaurant concept, and therefore it's a standout in Westport 10/10 and will keep this on my list for any guests in town. ”

“ Friendly and helpful staff. Very inviting and the atmosphere was sociable. The food was amazing. The zucchini fries are a must! ”

“ We were looking for last minute dinner in Westport but we also had our 18 mo old with us so it was a bit tricky being that it's a lot of bars. We saw Beer Kitchen had a Steak Frites special so we decided to try it out. They did end up having high chairs and a kids menu! My husband and I both got the steak frites and it was very good. It was a chill night since it was a week night and the staff was very accommodating to us and sweet to my baby. Though maybe it's not a perfect place for a baby on say a weekend night, it ended up working for us and we got to enjoy a nice meal with a beer while our baby was happy with a grilled cheese! Will have to come back for a mom and dad date night. ”

“ Great beer selection. Service was prompt. Happy hour had some great deals. The chicken taco was amazing. It was like a spicy banh mi. My veggie burger was super tasty. Our server was very mindful of food restrictions. ”

“ Amazing experience at Beer Kitchen. Food, drinks and service (thanks Paul) were excellent!! Have been here before and this one of our favorite KC places. We will return again!! Highly recommend! ”

“ Fun atmosphere and all the beers you could ask for. But also, you absolutely come for the burgers. So many options, all delicious and you can't go wrong! Also a huge fan of their Mac and cheese. Service was great and they can give you recommendations on which beers to try. Honestly all good vibes and no complaints and hope to make it back here soon ”

“ What do we do before a game if we're not tailgating? Well, you will always find us here at Beer Kitchen Best dinning experience in KC. It's like home on a plate. The service is always amazing and I will tell you, Angel is our go to waitress EVERY time! Great service, great drink menu, and the BEST food. Hard to beat for the price. It's a must visit before the game or just when you're visiting KC. ”

“ The food is delicious here.... Waiting for the burnt mayo to come through, it was the best condiment in KC and would love to see it at Beer Kitchen now that Mickeys is closed. Staff are kind and prompt. The ambiance is amazing ”

“ This was my first time at Beer Kitchen. My wife came here back in 2018 before we even lived in Kansas City. She had a chicken and waffles and said it was very good. Tonight, I had a work group meeting here. It was very nice. Joe was our server and he was amazing and handled our table of eight people easily. No one wanted for anything. I highly recommend grabbing Joe if you're there. He was kind enough to tell me about the sliders happy hour special 10 minutes before that deal expired. I got two sliders and they were so good. I got two more and the side salad and that was my dinner. I also had a delicious kombucha. I am excited to return here soon. ”

“ While in town, we had time before our flight to enjoy brunch at Beer Kitchen and had a fantastic experience. To secure a table, we made reservations for the first seating at 9am and were the first to arrive, snagging a cozy corner spot. The restaurant's decor is retro with a rustic charm. Our server, despite being in training, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and helpful. We kicked off brunch with a carafe of mimosas, perfectly balanced with just a splash of orange juice, and a Wake & Bake Mary, which my husband declared one of the best Bloody Marys he's had (second only to mine!). For starters, we enjoyed Baby Donuts with cereal milk anglaise and fresh raspberry jam--highly recommended. Our main dishes included the Crabacado Benny (5-stars), the Bacon Cheddar Omelette (a bit too salty), and the Brioche French Toast. Beer Kitchen is situated in the vibrant, up-and-coming Westport neighborhood. We're eager to return and try out lunch or dinner next time we're in Kansas City. ”
