Reviews of Nick and Jake's On Main (Restaurant)

Gregory James

Varied menu with solid execution. I had a great time people-watching the lunchtime crowd. Broad but generally uninteresting beer selection is the only possible downside. Really, really good chicken pot pie is your upside.

D P

First timer. They have $10 lunch specials. I had the steak sandwich, tender and flavorful. Also had the jalapeno grits, delicious. The fresh squeezed lemonade was good

Lisa Bouknight

my husband and I have been going to nick and Jake's for years. Never ever disappointed. Thank you for always having wonderful staff.

cardiffmadmarshy

loved it ...good value for money

Jill Jones

We had our company holiday party at the Upper Deck tonight and the whole experience was delightful and stress free. Amanda and the fine staff at Nick and Jake's were accommodating and skilled at handling all the guests.The food on the buffet menu was scrumptious. The bacon wrapped shrimp was a highlight and went over very well. The room was cozy with the right lighting and acoustics which made for an enjoyable atmosphere. Looking forward to booking more events here in the future.

Tracy Morris

Oh my gosh!!!! The best shrimp ever!!!! The atmosphere is so wonderful staff so friendly. Definitely should give it try. Thanks for it all

Tina Johnson

Easter brunch was great! Only thing it was lacking was bottomless mimosas ;)

Siera kilo Actual

As if it wasnt enough that the soundtrack from american pie was so loud i could barely hear my wife talk, our cocktails had the sugar content of a hummingbird feeder and the alcohol content of a diet mountain dew.

Tracy Wesley

Great food great service

Lil- Hate Vlog

Good spot to kick back and have fun

JaTaya Boston

Amazing atmosphere amazing food I was just a lil upset that my boyfriend who is 2 yrs younger than me didn't get carded for alchohol at the bar. I left my ID mistakenly at home it was MY birthday dinner I had a pic of my ID in my phone they still wouldn't give me a drink. But other than that I loved it

Ada Gebhardt

Great brunch relaxed atmosphere.

Valencia Peoples

This place is a MUST GO! The food is delicious and the service is great! The Brunch is like no other and worth every penny!!! If your in town rhis is the place to go. Please open one in Memphis!!!

David Hummel

I had the buffalo chicken mac and cheese (seasonal offering) and the Jake's salad. I'm always impressed with the quality of the food service and drinks at these establishments. So good. P.S. the wings are next level.

Debra Cunningham

Nice place, atmosphere was relaxed, food was great, service was awesome, pleasant staff, very nice outside eating space.

Tom R

Small plates ahi tuna and crab cakes, small salad, shroom burger and 2 beers. All tasty and the service was good. We always dine on the alley patio as the indoor area is too loud, even with a few people. The patio has been updated: new table/chairs, sofa area, two tvs, heaters and fans.

Johnny Roberts

My party said the buffet is crazy good. $20 a person can't beat the food and all the choices you have. Prime rib, fruits, veggies, all the breakfast foods. Will come back again

Hyler C. Cooper

Food was excellent. Service has been great both times we've been here and they are VERY family friendly. They even brought out a "snack plate" consisting of grapes and cheese it's for the kiddo while we waited for the food. Really well run place.

Veronica Rodriguez

They need to learn how to keep the food warmer A nice variety of food available on the buffet Good atmosphere

Brandt Callahan

You know what? I knew their burgers and sandwiches were good from other visits there. But learned on this last visit that their sides are outstanding. Had their broccoli, asparagus, and mashed potatoes and was very impressed with their flavor and seasoning. Can't go wrong there.

Meridith Green

Great dining experience. Our waitress was super attentive. We started off with drinks and appetizers. The Saturday drink specials were bloody Mary and Rosemosas, which were fantastic. We split the spicy chicken and waffle sandwich. Pretty damn delicious! I remember one person ordered a salad and it was unnecessarily large, with an entire head of lettuce and like 12 boiled eggs and two pounds of chicken. Large portions big enough to split.

Amber Dawn Reed

Very busy at lunch time but that's to be expected. Waiter was very nice and quick with everything. We only had an hour for lunch but ran on time. Very pleased.

John Nguyen

Food is worth the price, especially the meatloaf. May be hard to turn in and out of during traffic.

Anastasia Huggins

Its good food with good atmosphere, sports on one side and nicer dining on the other. Nice staff that remembers you

Dakalia Johnson

Omg!! First of all it was sooooooo good!! You definitely get your money's worth. We got full so quick and you have to leave room for dessert. We went for brunch. $20 for adults with a gratuity charge (I believe 18%) and drinks also cost. However, we will be going back. Sorry about the waffle, I couldn't wait to dig in. Nick & Jake's amazing!

First Last

Great lunch specials and food

Weakly Loser

Wow! This place has lots of character. Pictures of the past; food of today. Lobster Mac is delicious. Cuban sandwich is not traditional, but is good. Jambalaya is spectacular. Irish nachos? Try them! Service was five star, thanks Zak!

Jennifer Gunn James

Wonderful service, easy parking next to the restaurant and all of our food and drinks were spot on. I had a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA. Started with bruschetta...yum! and then we ate Crazy Cajun Catfish (OMG delicious) and Summer Swordfish. Fresh. Finished with a Nutty Nutty Irishman drink. Overall fresh and great but not overbearing service. Try it!!

M G

Great! Went for Easter Brunch went at a time when we missed most of the crowd which was good. Food was fresh and continuous waitresse was constant and courteous!

Donna Carter

I didn't like the service. The prices were to high for the quality of food. When they brought me my food it was played sloppy. I had to send it back, half our party had to send it back. I will never eat here again!!!

didi grant

Food is always good quality and hot, the servers are always polite every time I visit.

Sarah Vanderhoff

Atmosphere is professional but inviting, food is delicious and portions are substantial. You definitely get your money’s worth and you leave feeling more boujee than when you arrive!

Tim Miller

Another great dinner experience!

Mary Hey

Nick's salad is very good. Vinaigrette dressing is made fresh. Tenderloin sliders were super! Impressed with our waitress. She was very customer service friendly. Lots of big screen tv's. I will definitely go again!

Christal Cone

Excellent selection of food for brunch. Area around the buffet setups were narrow/ crowded. Our server was attentive.

Angie Wolven

Excellent choice of foods, excellent flavoring, Kyle, our Server gave great advice and was very attentive. A little too expensive to go often but it was my first time there, and I will be back.

Melissa Ann Griffith Wiggins

My husband adores their Sunday brunch buffets. Be prepared for a noisy crowd, however, and even with reservations, seating can be tricky.

Carmen Austin

The food wad excellent. Need an elevator for people with disabilities.

Stephanie Lawrence

Although the chicken tenders we're large in size and LOOKED appealing they had zero flavor; not even the batter!. Very disappointed. The other 11 folks I came with were pretty happy with their meal. Please make changes to your chicken tenders due to the fact that those are almost always a "go to" meal. Thank

Greg Pollard

It’s weird to me how bad the food was for being so expensive

dblodgett61

Great brunch and reasonably priced for everything you get.

Brett Brown

Good food and great service. One of the managers was touring tables to check on customers. To me, thats always a good sign. It usually shows they care and it shows in the quality of the product and the service.

Amy Winfree

Beautiful older building, sleek seating area, immaculate bathrooms. Our wait for a table and for our order was short and our waitress was friendly and attentive (shout out to Britney). I had the 1/2 rack of ribs, my husband had the French dip, and my daughter had the salmon BLT. All of us were very happy with our plates.

Brenda Herrman

Great food!! A little loud, parking a little difficult, but everything tasted GREAT!

Tara Simmons

It was awesome Food was hot and delicious so was the cookies and the chocolate cake.

Tanya Mestayer

Very good prices very reasonable

Heatseeking Miss

Was greeted quickly and ordered drinks.. Which I don't often do.. I like to not taste the booze.. And Sarah at the bar made me the PERFECT drink. Capri Sun. You should try. Our waiter Zack happily and patiently answered all of my "What do you think" questions.. And was attentive the whole evening. Love this place. Will absolutely be returning.

Stephanie Maitri

In all of my travels, I could not recommend a better bar. You truly become part of a family of people who care about you, especially the staff.

Robert Joseph

Had a function there, buffet was pretty good, drink service was swift and friendly.

Melissa Economou

Consistent food and service.

Hason Cornley

Over priced on fathers day

Cozysquire

They had a really nice environment. Good food, too.

Changing Gears

Great food, great service!! Made reservations for party of 14, over lunch hour and we were seated quickly, received our food quickly and had plenty of time to visit all in an hour. Excellent!!

Jessica Headlee

Some of the best gnocchi I have ever had. The herbed mushrooms were also phenomenal!

Cindy A Anderson

Public House Beer dinner was wonderful. The food was delicious and well paired with the beer. Service was wonderful. Would definitely do this again.

leslie linn

Very fun. Great service. Nachos were awesome.

Dan Wright

Good food and service, moderate prices. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great for any size group. Will be coming back here.

Donny Mason

Took some talent that were in town for a convention here late late on a Thursday and had a great experience! Their food is really good and my friends said the drinks weren’t half bad either.

Mel B

Great happy hour. I hear Sunday brunch is wonderful

Scott Ricks

Everytime I go there we get the best service with top notch food. My favorite of the Nick and Jake locations!

Konnie Sanders

Good food, good friends

Jon

Had the crab bisque and shrimp gnocchi and it was excellent. I didn't expect much from the plain sounding restaraunt name but I expect all of the food here is delicious. Jordan K was a great server! The only thing I would change is make the gnocchi smaller, more bite sized, maybe half of current size.

Bob Shool

Good Sunday brunch

September Garnett

Went on a date here on Friday and we were super excited to try the food especially the Irish Nachos. To say they were lackluster is and understatement. I needed more seasoning stat. But we are willing to give it another try as I've heard great things about their brunch hopefully take two will be good.

Joanne Smith

Very nice place. I would say it is more expensive than I thought it would be. I didn't care for food choices but what I ate was good.

Choco Holic

Stopped in for the lunch and it was good with friendly staff.

Rebecca Gmoser

We had a group of 10 and had awesome service! Will be back again...

Jessie Anderson

The food was excellent, the service was excellent. Everything about Nick and Jake's was excellent!!!!!

Jamie Jordan

It was good. A little different. Don't like the paper straws.

Zina Edward

Great location, excellent service, excellent value for the price, excellent service

mike m

Great place for drinks. I have not tried the food

Consuela Edwards

Their brunch was great! The staff was friendly and attentive. Because i was invited at the VERY last minute my mother in law was not charged for my small plate of food. So sweet!

Jim Stanley

Disappointed! Have been going to Nick and Jake's for years. Have always been very pleased. Dinner Saturday night was not up to par. Had the jambalaya. Every piece of chicken included a piece of gristle. Couldn't eat the rest of it. Very disappointing.

Schmuel

If you’re looking for a solid sports bar this place is perfect. If you’re looking for craft cocktails, rare beer, and divey digs this isn’t your place. Food is good; prices are great, especially during one of their two happy hours. Bartenders are friendly and efficient.

Ignis

Oh, just alright. The food had potential to be very good, but it must left me feeling kind of bloated and like I just downed an entire salt shaker. The service was just alright as well. Our waiter held interesting conversation with us, and all the orders were correct, but the were slow, and there ended up being a few errors in our billing at the end of the night.

Cullen R

I would love to rate this place one star so it might be easier to find a table during Sunday Brunch, but I just can’t do it, they’re amazing! When Jacque (our server) found out that my mom traveled all the way from Minnesota to get another taste of their famous bread pudding during my delayed Mother’s Day brunch - but it wasn’t part of today’s brunch - he went in the kitchen and had them make one special for her, made her whole month! Thank you!

Pam Hays

We had been before but not recently. Glad we return. Are new go to local dinner spot.

Twyla Taylor

I was visiting relatives. the restaurant is within walking distance. We placed an order to go The meatoaf was delicious!!

Sandra Prentiss

Great experience! Birthday brunch to celebrate 3 birthdays. Eight of us on a very busy St. Patricks Day ! Great service. Great server ID# 216. Great atmosphere! Clam chowder the best I've ever had! Brunch food equal to any in Kansas City! Thanks!

William Pless

Nice brunch on Sundays

Patience

My husband and I went to nick and Jake's for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. It was about 7:30 pm on a Monday night. A host came to the door the great us and sat us at a corner table by the window which we enjoyed. It seemed as though the servers were not allowed to write down orders cause our waitress wrote a few notes on her palm. I ordered a classic burger medium well with no onion and a salad instead of fries. We waited about 25 minutes for our entree's and when I received my burger it came with fries, no pickle instead of no onion, cooked medium and had cheese on it which I neither like nor was given the option if having or not. I took the cheese off and asked for pickles and my salad, not a huge deal, things happen. We were not asked about desert but What really got me was that when we finally got our ticket i was charged extra for the cheese that I didnt even want on my burger! we put our card out and waited for the waitress to come collect our payment. At this point it was about 9pm. Our waitress was cleaning tables and wandering around. Made eye contact with us several times and even walked by our table with our payment ready and just walked the other direction! We sat for another 20 minutes waiting to pay so we could just get out of there. We would have spoken to a manager but he was too busy talking to a young lady at the bar top for the last 45 minutes of our visit and seemed to have no care at all about what was happening in his restaurant. Both the management and servers seemed oblivious and unconcerned with their guests satisfaction. Needless to say it didn't make for a very good anniversary. The food wasn't bad but we will not be back.

Carla Williams

The steak was off the chain mashed potatoes could have been seasoned better but I requested ingredients to make them loaded and that worked well server Paul did a great job it was a large crowd of us so coodos to him

Lori Harvey

Shrimp and grits are delicious. Also try the short ribs.

Vijay Walunj

Nice crab cakes.

Sabrina Palmer

Went to Sunday brunch with friends. It was fabulous. Wait staff was very courteous and helpful. Thank you Colton. I will definitely come back!

Araina Swinton

Adam our server was quite a gentleman. He helped us to choose items on the menu we would enjoy. They were out of the crab bisque soup so I tried the steak soup. Very tasty even if it didn't look appealing. Baby back ribs good also. We tried the Buffalo wings which were not to spicy. Overall-great experience. I will return!

b hoolehan

Great 1//2 pound burger. Had the steak soup because of the rain & cold weather. Love the inside decor. Dark wood furnishings. Lots of tvs . Reminded me of old Chicago style upscale restaurants. Would definitely go back when we come into town.

Carol Baker

We love the reasonably priced food and the service was phenomenal.

Sheri Harrison

Great food. A bit loud, but it is a small place and it was lunchtime.

KARL Washington

The service is very bad. But management did a great job at rectifying the issues. I will give it another try

Godwin Iloka

The lunch menu was awesome, but the service was even better!!

Klare Rollins

had a party of 18 and we got our food in a very short amount of time! such amazing workers and food was delicious!

Danielle Robinson

The options on the buffet were very minimal. The kitchen staff also did not bother restocking many of the items during the entire time we were there. It was very disappointing.

Mike Funa

Decent atmosphere and food (usual bar type food)

Aaron Sentell

Visiting from out of town. Had a fantastic dinner with charming service... Really enjoyed the California Chicken Sandwich and Bread Pudding.

Mike Cromwell

Awesome food and great Service. The appetizers were very good and the scallops were perfect

Tom Sargent

Great service and very nice menu choices. Noise level easily allowed relaxed conversations. Parking in lot designated for restaurant a definite plus. Plenty of tvs if that is something you enjoy... but they don't intrude if you don't. Comfortable decor.

Andrea Hagens

My first time at the restaurant, the menu was quite extensive. Had the filet which was cooked to perfection. Will definitely try again!

Steve Rodick

Have been here twice. First time was OK. Second (and last) time my steak was lousy, and we were seated at a table that was so very noisy - could'nt even hold a conversation with my table mates.

Bryan Topeka

Great environment, great food, and excellent service!!!

Nicole Terrell

Love it. A great place for family dining, a date or a night with your friends. Staff is so friendly and they make you feel welcome. A place I will frequent alot

Nichole Sayers

Can't wait to go back! Amazing food & service!!

Matt Yearout

Really nice laid back atmosphere and good food.

Rosiland Brown

The Jake'sGreat Restraint!The Sauteed Spinach and Jake's Salad was delicious!

T. G. Crawford

The service was impeccable and witty. The food was awesome. The drinks are yummy and delicious.

Angela Crawford

One of the best brunch buffets in the area, plus the staff and manager on duty were awesome and helpful to our group!

Ron Edwards

I will never go back, the buffet table was nasty, the food was not that good and there was a fly, yes a fly in my water (dead).It was a wasted fifhty dollar. After Church Sunday afternoon, I was really hungry. Never again. 0 rating

Whitney Jones

Great place! The food was delicious and the service was great! I had a wonderful birthday dinner! I had their half rack of baby back ribs and they were phenomenal. Definitely a great place to visit in KC!

Hiram Watkins

This is one of the best "bar food" bars in KC. Non pretentious food that is done fantastically. Good beer selection.

Kenneth Smith

Amazing grits and short ribs!

Gary Wauthier

Good food. Service a little slow.

Patricia Banks

Went during Saturday brunch specials. The Rosemosa was good. The fudge tort was delicious. The portions were huge. Took some home. Relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. Want to try Happy Hour.

Jim Rosberg

I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. The food is always very tasty staff friendly.

Easy E

Table service wasn't quite there,but the overall Sunday brunch experience was good, nice selection on the buffet,i remember when this place was a nightclub...

Dixie Burns

Great place for food and friends!!

Chadron Patton

Lively spot with basic American food options. Tables are a bit close together in certain areas which makes it feel as though you are dining with your neighbors.

Sylvia Jackson

Good food this location seems to have less food items than the overland park location but overall great place to enjoy a Sunday brunch

Sara Candelario

Great service and great food

Stina Marie

Ummmm....well.... Very nice interior but honestly my food left a LOT to be desired. I ended up ordering chicken strips and they had NO FLAVOR/SEASONINGS AT ALL..... Fries came with my meal and by the time I got home they were a soggy mess. Hubby ordered the grilled chicken and grilled shrimp pasta and his container was super small but very good.... Not $16 good for such a small serving however.

Stacey Warren

The appetizer are great along with fabulous drink menu

barbara grigar

It was my first time at this location of Nick & Jakes. I love the character and atmosphere. Unfortunately my group was in a hurry to eat before going to the theater so our selections were made on the basis of what would be quick. I had a delicious, perfectly cooked hamburger. The service was excellent and I plan to returm for a more leisurly meal.

Lynette Woods

Paid for brunch but must have gotten there too late because when I went back to the bar I couldn't even get lox and bagel, a waffle...nothing. they broke the bar down so fast and right at 2 PM. Booooooo. Should have just ordered from the menu.

Mike Elmore

Lots of Happy Hour food choices and 5 $5 cocktails. Good food, too. On of the best Happy Hours we've been to.

Suzanne Pierce

Just did appetizers and a beer , very enjoyable.

jedi mac

Wonderful brunch today! Father's Day fun! Adrienne was our server, and she was so nice and accommodating.

Derrick Dickerson

Delicious and fresh food near the heart of the city.

Chris Hudson

Great happy hour food and drink options!

Rachel Hack Merlo

They really know how to treat families with small children. Plus the food is good!

Devin Mirfasihi

It doesn't matter what time of day that you go here, there will be a large crowd. Almost everything on the menu is phenomenal. They have a great happy hour. Surprisingly, I love their salads. The ahi tuna salad is great and the salad dressings are excellent as well. Lots of private events are hosted upstairs.

Sherry Fingers

It's nice. Food is good. Little bit of a wait for a Friday night.

D Mumford

Kind of pricey for a buffet, but nice place to hang out with friends. A bit crowded when we went. Food was decent.

Kara White

Very nice ,good staff will definitely be using again in the future

Matthew Kincaid

Newer location here off the Plaza. Fun part of town that Nick and Jake's seemed to help revitalize. Weekend brunches here aren't for those with small appetites! Not an inexpensive outing, so have always come hungry. Food all seemed to be high quality, above standard buffet grade. Looking forward to going back!

Kristina Peters

Great food, great service, great price!

Gisela Fajardo Rodriguez

I went to their brunch and honestly soooo not worth the money. The service was ok but I wasnt a fan of the super outdated vibe and there weren’t as many breakfast options as I was hoping. The quality of food wasnt great either. You would be better off making something yourself in the comfort of your own home. Mimosa was good.

Mary Bertram

Great food great service

Virginia Hicks

I didn't like the crab cakes

Shawnee Chiropractic

Great food and Morgan was awesome as our server.

nina schunck

I was surprised! I thought the food would be pretty ordinary, but it was DELICIOUS. The service was good too. Shrimp and grits was yummy, and these folks know how to prepare veggies

Brandon Bedenbender

Why is this place open? Quality had dropped so much. Food just isn't good. Total waste.

Susan Jermaine Williams-Jones

Food is always fresh and Delicious

Jack Rush

Great good. Little noisy.

Derek nixon

Great drinks, prompt service and everybody's food was spot on

J Stuart Hoffman

Great food and service

William Robison

Best. Food. Ever! Chardonnay Chicken. So yummy.

Sherri Penka

Great food and service! Affordable with great atmosphere.

Joel Ricketts

All of the Nick and Jakes locations have great food for good value. The food is a cut above what one might expect from a restaurant of this type and price range.

Catina Taylor

Food is great.... Customer service left me wanting

Caleb Sommerville

Totally fine food. Inoffensive is perhaps the best word to describe it. I haven't had a really GOOD meal here (but hey that crispy Thai shrimp was surprisingly tasty), but I've never had anything bad. They're very kid-friendly and wise: when we sat down with our 2.5-year-old they gave him a small plate with grapes and Cheez-its. And after the meal, the server snuck me a snack-size packet of Oreos for dessert (so he couldn't see). I was impressed with that wisdom. :D

Pat Caruthers Caruthers

Lovely experience.. Very nice & attentive staff. Food was very reasonable, plentiful and I enjoyed the chicken quesadilla.

Leah Conley

A friend took me here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I cant believe ive never been here!! The Sunday brunch buffet was amazing!! The salmon was cooked just right and their grits were soooo good. The variety of food they offered was amazing...and cooked to perfection! The dessert bar is also awesome...considering you still have room for it...though i do suggest leaving just enough room for the apple pie or the sticky bun!! Well worth it...cant wait to come back!

Jacqueline Bostic

First time for Sunday Brunch. Awesome food and great service. I recommend reservations. Looking forward to coming back. 50th Main was our location. I've had lunch there during the week, however Sunday Brunch was awesome.

Mari's corner

Thai shrimp were amazing and awesome happy hour specials.

Velda Woods

the food and service was great

Kendall Belcher

Lunch break with my spouse and the food was excellent.

Chas Morris

What a great place with great people. I spent a wonderful time with a very special brother and was treated so well by the staff.

Jack Garlach

One of the very best Sunday brunches in KC.

DaJuan McClanahan

Excellent! Exceptional! Extraordinary! I love the brunch layout. The food is FRESH and HOT. There's LOTS of SEATING with PLENTY of ROOM to MOVE around. They DO NOT over crowd the restaurant with tables and chairs.
