Double Nickel Bar & Grill

It’s a dark, often noisy dive bar. For what it is, it’s prefect. The food is always good, decent beer selection, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.

This place is conveniently located at I 35 and Santa Fe. It has an on site owner who is willing to bring LIVE MUSIC to Olathe. Thank goodness. I am tired of driving to Westport and north of the river to hear quality live music. Rick has already booked Kansas City’s best male vocalist Joe Sampson and his band of choice players who go by the Band Name Kink Alfred, He hosted an open mic night last night and had a girl singing Strawberry wine that was very good, There was also a guy named Alan White who was a joy to listen to. The burger was big and the place felt big but cozy at the same time. Definitely mark June 6^th on your Calendar to Listen to live music by talented musicians Kink Alfred will play and Joe Sampson will sing

Just no. Are you kidding me? Really?

I went there with a friend for karaōke which was actually a pretty good time. I ended up ordering the hot wings which were good but pricey. I came back the following night and order the chicken fried steak dinner… I have to tell you that it was the worst chicken fried steak I’ve had in my life. I could barely cut the steak with a steak knife. The steak was about the size of my fist and the last bite I took I couldn’t even chew it. I spit it out in a napkin. On top of that it was extremely pricey for what you got.

This place has really good food. The menu is very big with lots of variety. They have great appetizers. Be sure to check out the fried mac n cheese and jalapeño cheese balls. For the main course, the burgers, burritos and pizza are all terrific. They even have a nice selection of salads for those looking for a healthy meal. And it’s a fun bar too!

Sigh.
If you want to go someplace and get cold food, attitude as well as charged for things you didn’t have or even ORDER, apparently this is the place.
I was going to let the cold fries slide and not update my review, until they were replaced by lukewarm curly fries ‘crumbs’ from the bottom of the bag, and half the portion that was in the original basket (and I ate only TWO small fries from the original basket), and they tasted like they were fried with the chicken gizzards (blech) in the same basket. I could only eat two, and was almost sick.
I actually hadn’t decided whether or not to update my review, but when I went to pay, it solidified it. It takes a LOT for me to drop something from 3.5 stars to 1!
They didn’t bring me my ticket and just told me the total. When I questioned it, I was given attitude, and they argued with me that I had the extra item. I also didn’t ask for the fries charge to be taken off completely either; I just asked that I wasn’t charged the extra $ 1 or so that the curly fries incur over regular fries. To be fair, the sandwich was slightly above par. I was completely cordial about this… you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when I get vinegar thrown back in my face, it’s hard… even though I still held my cool. Against my better judgment, and so as not to reflect completely on the people I was sitting with, I gave one waitress a $ 1 tip (still 15%), and was not thanked, and she turned away from me. WOW.
Anyway, I doubt I’ll be going back, and if I do, it’ll be no food for sure… possibly no drinking either. I am updating my review as I don’t want someone else going there on MY word and getting the same service and experience I received tonight. There are plenty of bad bars that are much closer that I could get that experience… and even more good ones that I wouldn’t.
Bummer.
If you do go, I hope you have better luck than I did… and more like my first two experiences rather than my LAST.

I like this place a lot. I went for lunch with a group from work. I live in Indianapolis and spent the last 4 months working on a project in nearby Lenexa. Somebody mentioned they heard of a place that had a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. I looked online and found that this place had the heart stopper. This burger is 2 ¹⁄₃ pound patties, mozzarella cheese sticks, bacon, onion rings, bbq sauce all between two grilled cheese sandwiches. The sandwich was great. I was surprised that I could actually taste everything in it. The owner and his wife came out and talked to us for a few minutes. They were both very nice and down to earth. They have an even bigger burger. This place seems like a good place to go hang out, watch the game and have a drink. They also have a diner whch ajoins to the bar and grill. They both hve the same menu. In my opinion the bar has a better atmosphere.
