Houlihan's - Leawood

Hannah and Lexi at the bar are purely incredible. Some of the best service I?ve gotten in my life! I have always loved Houlihan?s happy hour, they have taken it to the next level. I don?t care how far I have to drive, I?ll make the trip to come here any day of the week!

On a hot day in July, grilled chicken salad sounds good and looked good! Unfortunately my order of grilled chicken breast salad was disappointing at best. I ordered the salad with the option of crispy chicken tenders . Lettuce was old, soggy, croutons were stale, chicken tenders were old, greasy and NOT crispy. The only food items that were tasty on the salad were the pecans. The restaurant has mundane decor with large capacity seating and covid plexi glass dividers ' between the booths, not on the end rows. No one had on masks, patrons nor the public. The other order at my table was hamburger with sweet potatoes fries. It was much better than the chicken salad .

I wish I could give 6 stars- this place was a gem of deliciousness! They have this wonderful thing called the All Day Fix Menu that our super friendly waitress, Samantha, recommended- which is a 3 course meal and perfect for the people like myself that can't decide what to get when everything sounds so good... I got the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings as my appetizer (shout out to Mickey in the kitchen for making them phenomenally) the flavors were on point and so complex! ???? the dipping sauce balanced the pork flavor and everything was hot and fresh. Thank you Samantha for validating this choice, she was right- it's not to be missed! For my main meal I did the 5 oz Petite Top Serloin which comes with 2 sides (I tried the Honest Gold Mashed Potatoes and the Fresh Fruit- both amazing). The highlight was for sure the Serloin steak which was perfectly seasoned, cooked exactly medium rare as I requested and so tender it melted in my mouth! Huge thank you to Brent for my outstanding steak! And the dessert- the Brownie Batter Cake made me think of a lava cake, the fresh fruit on top stopped it from being too much chocolate and it was perfectly gooey/ chewy. Hubby was equally impressed with his meal (Giant Cheesy Tots, Meatloaf no. 9 and Vanilla Bean Cheesecake) and we were both stuffed and happy at the end of our meal. 10 out of 10 Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!

Food was ok. Not great. Sat at the bar at 645pm and the first server didn?t come over until 7pm?Happy hour ends at 7pm. Server gave us the happy hour menu and we rushed to order. She came back a couple minutes later and told us happy hour was over. Honestly should?ve just left at that time but didn?t. Because of the lack of staffing and unwillingness of the server to override the system it turned a $20 tab into a $40 tab. Disappointing experience.

Server or kitchen got my order not right. the suppe had come out very late and the meal showed up within 2 min.
