Very quaint atmosphere. The service is very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and a wide variety of beers to choose from.

We've been to Beer Kitchen several times, and it's always one of our favorite brunch spots in Westport. The chilaquiles were excellent—packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. We also never skip the fries with two dipping sauces, which have become a must-order for us every visit.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is consistently friendly, and the location makes it a great stop while exploring Westport. Whether you're looking for brunch, drinks on the patio, or a casual meal with friends, Beer Kitchen is definitely worth checking out.

Shout-out to Tiffany for the amazing service and recommendations! The burgers were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had, and the bread pudding… OMG absolutely delicious. Great drinks, great food, and an overall awesome experience!

The food and service was so amazing and I had a great time. Nothing felt rushed, it wasnt super busy and the food came out quickly. I got a sandwich and the Mac and cheese and it was one of the best meals I've had!

Nice local bar with a good atmosphere. It gets busy and seating is limited, but that’s part of the charm. The staff seemed friendly and helped create a relaxed environment.
The menu is classic comfort food and the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of good cold beers on tap.
The bathroom could be a bit cleaner, but the place clearly gets a lot of traffic. Overall a solid spot for a casual night out.

We had a large group and were reasonably well accommodated. The staff was helpful and concerned with our having a good time. The kitchen had no problem accommodating some dietary restrictions.
We went for happy hour and stayed for dinner. The happy hour specials weren't spectacular bargains but the food was good. The two of us spent over $100 for several appetizers and a light meal with cocktails.
On the whole, the group was happy with the decision to go there and will likely return.

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!

Oh my gosh, I had Naomi’s burger here that had burnt ends on top of it!! I used the Char bar ketchup, and it was delicious. I ordered a sweet potato fries and they are exceptional even though regular french fries are always my favorite.

First time at Beer Kitchen and it was a great experience. Best burger I've had in a while. Service was attentive, friendly, and fast. Appreciated the mocktail was full size. Would definitely come again!

Enjoyed our dining experience. But had trouble finding a parking space. Here they are OpenGL one in Strang Hall. Better place for us to visit.
By Casiano Trujillo on August 24, 2025 Verified by Google Beer Kitchen
First time visitors. Food was good and the service was great. I will be honest, I had the burnt ends
Burger, I forgot I wasn't fond of bbq sauce on my burgers. I should have gone with something else. Get the sweet potato fries, they were delicious

Beer Kitchen in Kansas City has some seriously tasty food. The truffle fries were a standout, especially with their variety of aioli's. The horseradish aioli was to die for (I’ve even tried to recreate it at home) and I’d definitely order those fries again. The mini sliders were good, though if you’re really hungry, you might want a second order. I came during happy hour, and honestly, that’s when I’d recommend going. The $5 sangria was just okay, heavy on the brandy, so I’d try a different drink next time. Overall, I’d absolutely come back for the same food and to sample something new from the drink menu.

This is a very nice spot. Spacious and well decorated. Customer service is very good. I was acknowledged as soon as I got in. I sat at the bar as I was making a to go order. I ordered the brisket nachos and while I was waiting I was given a glass of water that I didn't have to ask for. The food came quickly and was delivered to me with a smile. All in all it was a pleasant transaction and I definitely will be going back.

Not only is the food excellent, but our service was also great.
We ordered the smokestack, truffle parm fries, and the cheese, corn, pepper dip. My husband is certain the burger was the best he’s ever had. The patty was perfection. Add the smoked Gouda, crispy jalapeños, BBQ, and burn ends and the burger goes next level. Best burnt ends, by FAR!

We stopped for lunch on our way to the Kansas City Airport our last day in Kansas City.
We found free street parking about a block from Beer Kitchen. Honestly, we were a bit worried leaving our stuff in the car as the neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy but no problem.
The place is a bar that serves meals. Limited seating was close to being filled when we arrived. The staff all seem to enjoy working there and help create the atmosphere that is almost "hippie" like.
The menu is essentially typical comfort food. Lots of beer on tap that is good and cold.
Bathroom could be cleaner but it does get a lot of use.

We were seated quickly, service was perfect! We were surprised to be seated quickly it was pride parade weekend and it was definitely lively and loud, not the normal atmosphere but we didn't mind. Enjoyed a few of our favorites. We brought our out of town family to enjoy the local fair.
By Christopher Sanders on May 22, 2025 Verified by Google Beer Kitchen
Our server was excellent and the food was great! The burger with burnt ends and a side of parmesan fries is definitely recommended. Also, if you want something a little less heavy but still delicious, get a salad with grilled chicken. The chicken that they add to the salads has a nice charcoal flavor. Fantastic beer selection!
By Colby Troyer on April 11, 2025 Verified by Google Beer Kitchen
I’ve never had a bad meal here. Their burgers are really tasty and so are their salads. You have to get the fries and try some of their sauces - so good! They have a very wide assortment of beers as well as a cocktail and non alcoholic menu. Beer Kitchen does a nice job of catering to gluten free diners. They have a whole gluten free food and beer/cider menu!

Best service ever!! I placed an online order and then realized it was pick up only. I was not in a condition to drive after a long day at P&L watching the Big 12 tournament. I called to inquire about delivery options. August (born in November) let me know that they do not do delivery but he would go ahead and bring me my order anyway. He truly was a life saver!

Came for music bingo and had a great time! The pretzel and truffle fries were worth getting. Genuinely good happy hour deals and good service!

We showed up decked out in our Texans gear, and everyone was super cool about it. The staff and other patrons were very welcoming after they gave us a good natured, hard time. We ordered and the food was out in no time. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, and we were on our way with a full stomach.
