The Peanut - Downtown

just now New I definitely recommend the food here. I like to try different places every few days. The menu has quite a bit of options. I've been to all the peanut locations in Kansas City and Surrounding areas. If you're a wing fan I highly recommend the three huge wings and chili Cheese Fries. Absolutely amazing. It's a bar atmosphere and some weekends it's kinda busy . Drinks are good as well and staff, Bartenders are on point. Bravo Peanut hope you stay around for a long time. I'll most definitely be back.

I mean probably the best wings you'll have in your life. My boyfriend and I went 2 days in a row, once to the Mission location and the second time to the original location in KC because it was so good.

Best wings in KC and perhaps the world. Chill sports bar atmosphere but that is all you need. Pictures cannot do them justice, just go.

Had to put my two cents in after reading all these negative reviews. Just know that those people are miserable and don’t know what they are talking about. You come to The Peanut for their wings. Sure, they have other good menu options. But their wings are the best, order with blue cheese dressing side. You won’t be let down. The food is fresh. This is a local dive bar and it’s old. With eclectic decor and many neighborhood regulars. Things are Jerry rigged, need updated, and maybe deep cleaned. The staff is always welcoming, but they never are staffed more than 2-3 people, from what I have seen. Usually it’s just a bartender/waiter and the cook. Sometimes a third person helps if it’s busy. But that’s the beauty of The Peanut. You know you will have to wait to order, because the bartender is also the waiter and the bus boy. And he probably also helps the cook do dishes. Your food is made fresh, in the order it’s placed. So it will most likely take 30 minutes minimum to get to your table. For those of us who love to come here, we know the deal. It’s an unspoken reality. And we are all ok with it. If you want a different atmosphere or service- try one of those white washed, gentrified locations north of the river or south of Kansas City. But it is not the same quality food.

Had a great experience at The Peanut downtown! The wings are massive and packed with flavor, definitely worth the hype. The cheese fries were solid, but the real standout was the BLT. I followed my server’s recommendation and added an egg – absolutely incredible! Great spot, will definitely be back.

The perfect buffalo wing. You'll want to stop here if you go to KC.

We were told to go there for their Reuben sandwich, that they make the best, and it ended up being the worst I have ever had. The corned beef was very dry and stringy. I could taste a bit of sauerkraut juice on it, but I couldn't feel it. I don't even remember feeling or tasting cheese or Thousand Island dressing on it. The bread was good. My husband's was good, he said, but not great. The people were great, but it was very noisy, and it hurt my head. It does have a good atmosphere.

My review would have been better, but the tables were not clean, and our waiter was MIA. He was the friendliest but never refilled drinks and just wasn't around much. When we first arrived, it wasn't busy. There were maybe four of us in there total. But the food was truly pretty good! The wings were crispy and had great flavor, and their chili is really unique and not like anything I have had before.
