Paul & Jack's Tavern

With a chill and relaxing atmosphere, there is a vast menu with something for everyone. I had the lobster nachos for an appetizer, followed by the Bleu Bacon burger with seasoned curly fries, and washed it all down with a pineapple hard cider on tap. Don't miss out on this place.

We come monthly for a group meeting. This is the first time we have had food. We tried the chili burger and hot dog. It wasn't too bad. The hotdog had a nice crisp snap to it and the chili was good, not greasy and paired well with onions and cheese. Looking forward to trying other items.

My kids and I went here to try something new. The service was good and the food was good also, nothing spectacular, although the mozzarella sticks were delicious. The crab cakes were not impressive, and the fried shrimp had a weird batter that was too spicy and my daughter didn't like. The chicken fried steak was delicious.

My husband and I stopped in to watch the KU game. The bar tender was AMAZING, I wish I remembered her name. Food and drinks were excellent. Plenty of TVs, great atmosphere.

I eat lunch here monthly and I have tried several items on the menu. If I were to choose a favorite, I would choose the salmon. I have never been disappointed whether I got it as a meal or with a salad. But really, I haven't been disappointed with any of the food I have had here.

Paul and Jack’s is the staple of NKC when it comes to drinks, food, and music/bands. The service is always friendly and the menu is consistent, with exceptional specials. The restaurant is clean and spacious with a phenomenal patio! Lastly, you can’t beat the prices.

First of all thank you for accommodating our party of 11. Secondly the server we had did a phenomenal job, it was her first day and she went and above and beyond for the whole table. The Black and Bleu bacon burger was the crowd favorite at the table but everyone loved their food. It was also apparently game night so the tables around us were playing board games it was quite the dining experience. I will be back with friends this place is great

My husbands work party is always wonderful. Mouth watering food. Excellent service. Fun games. Recommend anything on the menu. You won't be disappointed.

I love this place. We use it as an impromptu happy hour spot. All the food if really good and I'm picky as hell. Love our waitress too.

My girlfriend and I ate here this evening. It was our first time visiting Paul and Jack's Tavern. Seating is first come first serve you sit yourself. There are options for tables and booze. Our waitress was attentive, but not overbearing. They have on the menu what at first glance seems like a typical Bar like food. With many many options from salads to steaks to hamburgers, nachos, etc. I got a buffalo chicken salad with a baked potato, and my girlfriend got fish with a baked potato. Both of our meals were very good and honestly better than was expected. My salad was very fresh. The chicken tasted great. The seasoning was not overbearing, and the loaded baked potato was very tasty and cooked perfectly. My girlfriend said that her meal was great as well and she gave me a piece of her fish to try and the seasoning was very good. Our waitress was very attentive checking on us making sure we were good refilling drinks. All in all it was a great place to spend a couple hours having a dinner and catching up on our weeks and making plans for after the holiday as both of us would be working. I can see us coming back to Paul and Jack's Tavern at a later date as it really was a great place to visit. If you are in the North Kansas City area you should definitely look it up. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

Food was great and the vibes were great, the service was great as well (was there for a party so it's always going to be crazy). One reason I didn't go higher was because of the heat and not too sure if the food will be great a second time, but the tried and true chicken strips were great so I have high hopes

Local hole in the wall/ dive vibe. Was pleasantly surprised by the 12 oz sirloin. Tender, well cooked and seasoned piece of meat. Honestly better than the $60 steak I had earlier in the week at an upscale restaurant. Plenty of TVs to watch sports. My favorite part? The crispest, most delicious Dr Pepper on tap (silly, I know, but they don't skimp on the syrup). Service is decent, quick and accurate. If you're looking for a no fuss, yummy and fairly priced bite or place to watch a game in the northland- this is the place!

First visit here the other night to watch the Big 12 tournament. My daughter suggested and said the food was good and we didn't want to deal with the crowds in P&L. Turned out to be a great spot. Big screen TV and other TVs around the room. Had SEC and Big 12 on the whole time. Older and friendly crowd there, great beer selection and specials of the day. Salads and Fried mushrooms weren't great at all but the spicy cheese curds were killer good. So was the fish & Chips. If you don't want to do the Other NKC bars in town this is a great place and didn't break the bank.

We love Paul and Jack's!! Is it fancy, no...is it good food, you bet...is there good service, always! Sal's Philly sandwich is my fav with yummy sweet potato fries! Many Friday and Saturday nights they have live music for an enjoyable evening out, check it out!

I had my husband pickup lunch for me yesterday at Paul and Jacks. This was our first time doing a pickup order which went smoothly. My husband ordered the daily special which was Chicken Fried Steak, and I ordered the French Dip Sandwich. The French dip was perfectly cheesy with a huge helping of steak, while the chicken fried steak was a huge serving and perfectly crispy. Overall we enjoyed our food and will definitely have to come back to try more of the menu.

Love this place, had my 50 th birthday here. Great food , cold beer and plenty of TV's for sports events!! Not to hard to find in the north land, actually one of the better reasons to visit the north land!!!

We go to Paul & Jacks once a month and rent out the meeting room. The staff works fast and the menu has a lot of different options. The food is good as well. Get there before happy hour ends! If you want a tenderloin the size of your face...this is the place to go!

Nice neighborhood bar. Came On a Saturday afternoon so it was pretty quiet. Filled up after 6.

We had a surprise Birthday party here over the weekend. The event staff was super helpful and had great communication when planning the event. The food menu was expansive, but we went with the taco bar. We added in Spin dip and Queso. The Spinach artichoke dip was out of this world!!!! On the night of the party, our server was super attentive and amazing. Beers were cheap. I would highly recommend.

Hands down the best bar in NKC! Live music is great! Older more professional drinking crowd. No BS fights or nonsense. They have great bands and the two older door guys are great! They are funny and welcome you in! I always toss em an extra buck at the cover charge table. The owners whom I have grown to know, are great! The staff is a family, it's nice to see. Food is tops!

Good, and large, selection of food!! Always good. Staff is great! Even have music outdoors.

Went there for a large group meeting. There is a full bar to choose from and a large plethora to beers. When I first got there the waitress was quick to get our tables drinks and food order. As more people showed up we never saw her again. Which I think she just got overwhelmed. I ordered the tenderloin which as you would expect was enough for two meal. The breading on it was good and it was well seasoned. I'll definitely give this place a try again .

Been here twice in last 3 weeks just to experience the live music in an outside venue. We don't feel comfortable listening to live music and/or eating/drinking at inside restaurants. The bands we saw were amazing and it was a fun experience. However the staff does not abide the face mask mandate and social distancing does not exist. Most of the staff have masks on that either don't cover their nose or are hanging on their chins. I had to ask our waiter to put his mask on. It's ashamed that local venues can't follow simple rules that will help the greater KC area. KC will never gain control of Covid if places like this exist.

I LOVE this place. Terrific chili, homey atmosphere, and great meeting rooms. And don't get me started on the hamburgers and the daily specials. . Good solid all-American food with normal serving sizes -- no "small plates" here. While the main room can be loud, there are quiet nooks and crannies, a really nice outdoor patio, and several meeting rooms. You will always feel welcome here. The service is friendly and fast. It's my go-to place for a good meal out.

The food was ok. We had a Reuben and the crab cake dinner. The food was bland and the wait service was just ok. We had a long hard day and wanted a tasty dinner and it just didn't get us there.

Just your typical bar food ,nothing special. Chicken strips, plain hamburger and fries. Geared more towards the live music and band

Second try for this northtowne business. Service was much better this time! Visited for live music, dinner and drinks on a Saturday night. Venue offers dining and bar seating indoors and patio seating around the stage, located in the back of the business. We were given the option to dine indoors before the show or claim a table early. As we made that decision, I wish the hostess would have cautioned us that menu offerings are reduced for patio service. Oliver was our server. Energetic and eager. Seedy digital ordering system allowed the bar to process drink and food orders quickly and accurately. Impressive to see your drink arrive before the table's food orders were completely captured. Ordered the turkey burger with fries. Burger was throughly heated and crispy on the edges. The fries were bland and unseasoned. Tried the red sangria. Looked more like tomato juice and was very weak on alcohol. I don't recommend this beverage. The business has just two restrooms. On a busy night, expect to wait for your turn. There is plenty of nearby parking with a large public lot a half-block south and street parking. The venue has a nice set up for live music in the back of the business. Features a lit stage with an electric soundsystem. Plus 30-40 4-top tables and about a dozen 6-top tables. The chairs are wrought iron and are uncomfortable to sit on for any long amount of time. The layout of the patio includes a raised platform for good views of the stage, plus a covered porch farther back from the stage. Some interesting choices on the menu. I would definitely return to explore this further.

Great neighborhood watering hole in north KCMO. one of the best pork tenderloins you'll ever taste! The portions are HUGE!

I'm NOT a complainer, but not great service. I went in for game night Thursday. Didn't get greeted. Got a drink from the bartender. She directed my server to me. Ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad off the menu and another drink. Long wait, then was brought some kind of wrap. Immediately called after my server to rectify the error but couldn't get her attention even though three of us called. A LONG wait, the room got progressively hotter. She never came. Finally went to the bartender, room seemed too warm to stay in comfortably (the Hornet Room). Bartender asked me to wait. Really irritated at this point. Interrupted the bartender to give her $10 to cover my drink and left. Don't want to return. I didn't ask for anything special and couldn't get good service, looking for AC went it's hot. I came in very hot, thirsty, hungry and hopeful. I left hot, thirsty, hungry, and very irritated.

The food is good and the music on the the patio is great. The only reason I give it four stars is the limited menu on the patio compare to eating inside the restaurant.

This place was quite hidden if you don't know where it was as it wasn't on a main road like Armour Road. I came here with a few teammates for lunch before noon. It was pretty busy but still a bunch of tables available. In the middle of the place was a decent-sized bar. We were seated in the back area where there was a tv and was cozy back there. Our waitress was pretty busy as she was tending to all of the tables in the back area. The menu had a lot of choices from burgers to sandwiches to others I can't remember. I decided to order the Chili Dip Burger ($7.99) which sounded good. I was able to substitute the chips for fries since I felt fries complement burgers better than chips. The food took a long time to come out, but it might have been really busy in the front area. The Chili Dip Burger was good and the chili that was on the burger wasn't what I was expecting. It looked like it was ground beef like the same ones that was in tacos. The chili was definitely interesting, but I thought it complemented the burger. The fries were unsalted, but it was fine since I had part of the chili that fell out of my burger to eat with it. Overall, I thought the food was good and good place to grab some bar food.

We sat on the bar or tavern side of Paul & Jacks. There was a 5 ton6 year old child following his mother around as she took orders and delivered food and booze. The child was also allowed to run free with no one telling him to stop. There was also none employees behind the bar.

Place has gone downhill. Use to be a favorite for my kids and me, but last few times in they have no staff and wait is long plus the "chef" didn't know how to make a Club Sandwich. Won't be back until they can fix the service issues.

Goos service, GREAT food and a comfortable and casual atmosphere. I am partial to the "Big Kahookie", but the rest of their food is top notch as well.

We arrived a little before 6:00pm on Thursday, 3/2. There were 3 tables on the restaurant side where we chose to sit. We sat there for 7 minutes, 3 different servers walked passed our table and we were never even acknowledged.

Very good quick type bar food. French dip, reubens, burgers onion rings, all the comfort food in a very casual restaurant. The service is super friendly. Looks like a good bar area and a room called the "Hornets Nest" dedicates NKC alum:-) I split a Ruben with my dad and we shared the onion straws.. I was expecting the super thin crispy straws, what came out was a nubby heavily breaded onion sticks which were ok but not was I was hoping for. The Rueben was very good. Overall a very good clandestine place to enjoy a sandwich and a drink.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this place is the worst. Food and service are horrible! Spend your hard earned money else where.

Has gone down hill. Used to be good but now it has horrible service and average food.

This place is SUPER fun on Friday night's! I truly had no idea..live music, huge outdoor space in the back. Forget it. I'll probably be there every Friday night for the rest of the summer now..

It's your standard golfing/surfing bar right in the middle of North Kansas City. It has three huge public rooms plus a smaller party room on the side and a giant back patio for concerts. You could pack a ton of people in this bar. OMG they have fish tacos. And, they have them the way they should, no beans or rice to annoy, because really, a place that doesn't have anything to do with Mexican food should not try. So, I respect that. The FT's are tilapia and after I finish rolling my eyes about tilapia, I get them, again. I got the salad along with and it was a good clean little salad. Red onions, carrots, cheese, tomatoes, yeah it's probably from a bag BUT no brown pieces! The ranch is good. Then those darn FT's. They come with a ranch/salsa mixture which is not particularly imaginative but tasty for sure. Their breading has a little spice to it and over all I give it a 6 on the FT scale. They are small, I definitely wanted more than two. The service is fantastic, the bartender even remembered me from August AND what we talked about. Amazing. I love those kind of people. I lift my $2.50 domestic draw to her (all day).

I've never had the food here, but this is one of my favorite places in North Kansas City to sit at the bar with my friends, having a few beers while watching a game. In addition to the bar at the center of the restaurant, there's a courtyard in back with a stage for live entertainment. The bartenders here are very friendly, and I really appreciate their attentiveness. They refuse to let my glass sit empty!

Was here for a large gathering with their back room reserved. The food we had was small foods consisting of small sandwiches, chips and salsa, and meatballs. The meatballs were delicious but everything else was just okay. The one star comes from the service or, more correctly, the lack of service. We had 2 drink tickets and we had 1-2 servers that helping the large group. I say 1-2 because the time it took to get a drink was absurd, more than a half hour before I ended up walking to the bar where I was straight up ignored for ~10 minutes..... only to have the server come over and ask if I'd like anything like I never ordered my wife's and my drink. The second time trying to get a drink at the bar my wife and I were ignored again for ~ 10 minutes. While other people were being served around us even after getting to the bar later than us. My wife, who is white as most of the clientele was, went to the bar without me at this point and was served immediately. Now, this place was not busy by the time our group had made it to the bar and we were all plainly visible. I don't know what kind of reason you could have for this kind of service except a clear avoidance to serving non-white individuals. I was quite perturbed by the seemingly borderline racist treatment. The drinks, when I actually got one, were reasonably priced around 4 bucks for a well drink. 0/10, would never go back for any reason.

Wee came here with my family after playing at Chicken and pickle, was a good place. Service was attentive and friendly, environment was quiet for a Saturday night, but was a cool place. Couple of TVs on with the game, and friendly faces serving good food. Had the "Cuban" for the first time, I added a little BBQ sauce and that was a great sandwich. Never came here before, but would certain recommend for a good sports bar. I think we even meet the owner, and if my spelling was a bit bad, he did give me a birthday free shot, so yeah. Good shit.

Paul & Jack's is quite popular in North Kansas City and I can definitely see why. Stopped in for lunch the other day with the boyfriend and enjoyed a turkey/bacon wrap and he had a turkey burger, we both got sides of cottage cheese. The service was great and the food was fresh and even the turkey burger was delicious. This was actually my second time here--- the first time I came with a coworker for a quick bite to eat and we both got a buffalo chicken wrap. The buffalo is on the spicy side but they have a great ranch to pair with it. I've not had anything bad here but I must warn you that they are popular for their chili (and it's not my favorite). It's different than most chili's that you normally would get but some people really like it (especially if you aren't a fan of beans). Overall, Paul & Jack's knows what they're doing and they're a quick lunch option with good choices. If you're in the area, they aim to please.

We love this neighborhood place! They have a varied selection of good food and friendly, attentive servers. Great patio and fun bands on the weekends. Three things would get them to 5 stars for me. Offer the regular menu on the patio, add some other cocktails (Moscow mule, mojito?) and step up the wine game. I'm not that picky but the cab is pretty much undrinkable and their whites are just barely so. There are some decent restaurant wines out there (like Copper Ridge) that are inexpensive and much much better!

A great place to unwind and enjoy an excellent menu. Their tenderloin is as good as it gets, a must for sure. Super service to boot!

I"ve had this light blue, Izod, long-sleeved, button-up for several years. It's a fine shirt and REALLY comfortable. I could probably wear it for date night, but I really shouldn't. As far as dress shirts go, it's just... OK. Not great at all. But comfortable. Paul & Jacks is that shirt. This is NOT where you come for great. The food is OK. The service is OK. The whole place is OK. But there is nothing here that is great. But it's comfortable as hell. The whole family likes coming here. And well come back again and again.

Today was the first time every hearing and trying Paul and Jack's Tavern. With the weather and rolling power outages, delivery was tough. Suggested by a good friend, I ordered Lobster Nacho's and Crab Cakes. Let me just say, STUPENDOUSLY DELICIOUS! I usually stop when I am full however did not want to miss out on another savory bite. Paul and Jack's Tavern delivered, and we will patronize this establishment in the near future. Highly recommend!

Good Bar Food!!!! Ordered the double 1/3 lb. burger with cheese. Fresh ground beef with american cheese. Excellent flavor, nice and crispy outside. Comes with a nice side of fries, ours were however not fresh out of the fryer. So a small nick there. Also ordered the "killer tenderloin" which is a big crispy deep fried piece of meat. A little on the thin-side. but flavorful non-the-less. About 9 inches in diameter. Got this with an order of onion rings. The Onion Rings were the best we have had. fresh, hot and full of fatening flavor. The service was slow, but this could have been a product of the kitchen.....who knows. I would suggest this to anyone looking for an above average experience of BAR FOOD, at a reasonable price. GO FOR IT!!!

I'd like to say worst service ever, however there was NO service while waiting an excruciating amount of time to put in our lunch order. On the many prior occasions to this establishment, I've always had decent service and the food has been consistent and good. I'd like to think maybe a bad day, but there were hardly any other patrons at this off peak time we visited. Although we were seen leaving to have lunch elsewhere, no attempt was made to retain our business. That's a sad testament.

The first time I went to Paul & Jack's, they had a roast beef sandwich on special for $7.99. It was fantastic! Was it gourmet, gasto-risque chic? No, but it was a damn satisfying sandwich! (See also Reuben). I was hooked. The next time I visited, I was introduced to their martini menu. Did you know they have a martini club??? There's about 40 different martinis on that menu and I've tried about ten of 'em and won't stop until I've downed them all. It was in this same visit that me and a friend decided that we would not repeat an order until we had tried everything on the menu. My recommendations: anything! The service is great, especially out on patio (which is one of the nicest in town). Patio service can sometimes be dreadful at most places - the server forgets you, it's crowded and only one server, etc...It's never been like that at Paul & Jack's. Slow or busy (never really seen it busy now that I think about it), the server is always attentive and shows up at the right time. All and all, I really love Paul & Jack's. It's casual and easy going with an extensive menu and a food quality that is always consistent and comforting.

Some coworkers and I went here the other day for lunch and I was shocked it was so good. I had the Tuna Crown which is a tomato cut like a star and piled 5" high with Tuna Salad. Some of the best tuna salad I have had anywhere on a bed of lettuce. This was from the lighter side of the menu, they have many health options. One co-worker had the Cubano and gave me a little piece of the pork. OMG. So good!!!! The other co-worker had a turkey wrap with slaw. She couldn't stop saying how do the slaw was. The staff was awesome and greeted us immediately and kept our drinks full. She told us what her favorites were and made sure my food had no dairy near it. We will be back and soon.

As the other review said, this is GREAT bar food! My wife and I ordered the tenderloin to split. The waitress delivered 2 of them by accident. When I tolde her about this, she told me that she had split it into 2 parts for us! Wow.. That's big! Very tasty, too.

Went on Friday for lunch time, restaurant was about 1/2 - 3/4 full of patrons, and my party was a 6-top. Choosing to sit outside was a mistake because our server forgot we were out there. It was obvious we were forgotten when the food arrived about 45 minutes later, lukewarm to cold. We had to directly ask for drink refills and the silverware. My food, an appetizer, was completely forgotten, with the oversight being blamed on "the ticket getting lost". Points for management comping my entire meal, but they lost any future business from me.

I want so badly to like Paul and Jack's - the menu is varied, the prices are reasonable and they are close to home and locally owned and operated, but my two attempts so far haven't met with much success. I haven't given up and do plan to give it one more go!

We have been to Paul & Jack's many, many times. Service has been great and so is the food. We were there last night: food was great but the service was terrible. Our waitress ignored our table by spending most of her time talking to a friend at another table. We had to get up after being there quite a while and ask her to bring us water. She told us she would be back later to take our order. Later was about 30 minutes later. I have heard that P & J's is under new ownership. If that is true, the new owner is struggling. P & J's was not busy last night which is very unusual for it on a Friday night. We won't be back for a while. Hopefully the service gets better!

had tacos and beers. Listened to band, and the were great! The Harvey's. All is really good, had a good time
