We come here with the kids all the time. Food is fantastic. Great beer list, and very nice servers.

I had been to the 119th location beforehand it was ok. Went to the 135th location on accident because the restaurant next store wasn’t open for lunch. So happy it wasn’t open because I had a great experience at Barley’s. My friend and I ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer and they were addicting! Our server(forgot his name) was excellent and made great suggestions. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was exactly what I wanted for lunch. The friend got a burger and didn’t have anything negative to say. My friend had never been there before and we look forward coming here more often. They have a variety of choices and I look forward to trying out more on the menu!

The food was amazing. Our server was super friendly and very quick with everything. So many beer choices! Thank you Barley’s! We will be regulars before you know it.

Way too many choices to settle for this place, expensive– no personality. Typical Johnson co.blah.like every house, brown, tan looks the same. This is this place.

Had the opportunity to go on a date night with the wife while visiting family in Kansas City, who were gracious enough to watch the child. The menu offering of unique micro plates and small plates that varied from classic pub fair, fine dining and rustic American, drew our attention, as well as the large beer selection. Arrived at 8:00 pm and the place was pretty much dead, which didn’t bode well, especially since a local baseball game was on. This place is designed for large crowds and it just felt extremely empty. But this might have been just based on the location, because my worries about the locals avoiding this place were washed away with the quality of the food. Ordered a micro-plate sampling($ 6) as a starter. I elected for the house made pickles, which were spicy and tangy, but not as crisp as I would have liked; a tasty meatball and wonderful salt roasted beet salad. For my main entrée I had a caesar salad($ 4) and the slow cooked pork poutine($ 9). Caesar salad was standard fair and nothing impressive, but nothing to complain about either. Poutine was great. House cut fries, with a plenty of pork and gravy. They deviated from tradition and didn’t have cheese curds, instead using a few shavings of parmesan. Poutine isn’t the same without cheese curds and the amount of parmesan left the dish lacking a bit in the expected flavor profile. Beers are reasonably priced, a nice selection on draft and bottle. Was glad to see they had Left Hand’s Milk Stout with Nitro on tap, certainly added to the enjoyment of the evening.

We have frequented Barley’s for years and were pleased to try this new location. Despite the incorrect hours on the Unilocal page(yes they AREOPEN on Sunday), we managed to find our way in for a late lunch early supper(aka«lupper») and Barley’s did not disappoint. My husband had his all time favorite — roasted chicken. Supple and delicious as always. My son had the children’s fish and chips platter — AMAZING as always and a generous portion. I ended up finishing the uneaten portion. Barley’s has always had great fish and chips. I ordered the burger and found it to be just okay. The flavor of the burger was average — lacking that chargrilled flavor. It came with good fixings but an average bun. For a brewery, I expect a decent burger to go along with the awesome beer selection. I also got a side salad that was just okay. Very bland dressing and average veg. Despite a few minor issues, we will return and I hope to upgrade my review in the future to a 5.

Our ‘go-to’ for great food and drinks in the south OP area. Had the pleasure of being served by Haley — she was so helpful in pairing our entrees with local craft beers. She suggested a saisson(sp?) that I would have never ordered — but it was perfect! My wife and I love the Napa salad with grilled chicken, the Buffalo chicken wrap, and the pizzas.

We went to Barley’s one late night for some quick bites and it was awesome. They have a late night menu with decent choices. Not just some fried appetizer. We had their cracking pizza. Freshly baked and well seasoned. Def better than expected for an 11pm meal.

Fried pickles are off the charts. Blue Cheese Tenderloin is divine. This place has stepped up their game.

My husband and I stopped here for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived at 1:50 and were given menus with brunch items which was only served until 2. Since neither of us were in the mood for breakfast items, we asked if the dinner menu would be available at 2 and the waitress told us no, that the menu with brunch items on it was used all day on Saturdays and Sundays. We both decided to order the club sandwich. When they came out, all look fine and I ate a quarter of my sandwich when I realized mine didn’t have bacon on it but my husbands did(nice crunchy bacon at that). I asked the waitress about it and she apologized and took my plate. When she brought it back, my sandwich had been disassembled with soggy, undercooked bacon stuffed in the middle and haphazardly tossed back together. I’m not much of a complainer so I just let it go and finished what I could of my sandwich. As we were finishing up, a couple was seated next to us and were given dinner menus! After the waitress told us that the brunch menu was used all day! Overall, between the bad sandwich and not being offered a full menu, we won’t be returning. The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the beers on tap, that is the only reason for 2 stars as opposed to 1.

We don’t get to go out for a nice dinner without the kiddo very often so we were looking forward to a nice meal to celebrate my gf’s birthday. Unfortunately it’s not exactly what we got when we went to Barley’s in Leawood on Saturday night. We got seated right away, but the table was a two top between two four top tables in the corner of the restaurant. We decided to go back to the hostess stand and ask for another table. At this point there was a bit of a wait, but we didn’t care we wanted another table. The two hostesses were awesome. They were sooooo nice about it and we got a booth in about 5 minutes. We ordered the fried pickles and they were mainly just fried batter. Before we ordered them we asked if the pickles were spears or chips and we were told by our server, Brian C., that they were spears. They were not spears they were the super thin deli sandwich pickles with so much batter(I took a photo of this) you couldn’t even taste the pickle. For the main meal I ordered the 7 hr pork with green onion risotto and my gf ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The risotto portion of my meal was very good, but the pork was super fatty(I took a photo of this). The buffalo chicken wrap was really tasty. Brian was an good server. A bit slow at times, but helpful with suggestions. When he saw the pile of fat on my plate he took it upon himself to buy dessert for us. Which was vey nice. I still wish a manager would have stopped by to just apologize though.

I have not eaten at this location(I have at the 119th location once, and it was good), but have come for beers a couple of times. In my book, there’s no better place in JoCo to get beer than Barley’s if you want a great selection and knowledgeable staff. There have many, many beers on tap and plenty more in bottles and cans, ranging from lagers to pales and IPAs, stouts, ciders, you name it. The location itself is always clean and the layout is good(not changed since its 77 South days if you ever went there). Staff is friendly and efficient. My visits have been on Saturdays where there always appears to be a wait for tables during prime time, so do be prepared.

Super friendly staff, lots of beers on tap, and delicious food! I ordered the kale superfood salad, with grilled chicken. It came with a ginger, soy dressing, quinoa, tomatoes, and blueberries – all fresh, with warm grilled chicken. We had a great experience. Be prepared for it to be busy!

I can’t believe I haven’t done a review for this place sooner than today! I love Barleys and this location! From our own experiences, it’s been nothing but great! I have never been disappointed with the food, the soups are delish! Flatbreads are tasty, brunch on Saturdays and Sundays are yum! Chicken fingers, wings, potato boats… Sheesh I’m getting hungry. A good drink selection is evident. Our service has always been friendly, almost like family,(I need to check in more often) ok ok I come in once to twice a week and I’m not even sorry, I don’t see us slowing it down anytime soon! Thank you Barleys for always giving us your best!

Love Barley’s. Was a patron of the 119th location and was thrilled to hear they were opening this location, close to my place of employment! Excellent selection of beer, wonderful food and great service. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

Had the«Thai Won On» flatbread — holy crap that was good. Peanut sauce, chicken, bbq. Awesome combo of sweet and salty. I also wanted to try the«Build your own beer flight», but they were hit by a long Labor Day weekend and were out of 3 of the 4 beers I wanted to try. I had to ‘settle’ for a bottle of Sixth Glass. :-) I will definitely be back!

Ok, you can thank me later. Go at dinner, get The Windy City, «Chicago Style Deep Dish», and ask for«The Man Pie». It’s the all meat, black olive, mushroom, and jalapeño with bacon pieces, and the marinara is commingled with wing sauce. It’s incredible. $ 35 bucks, but it could feed 3 people. You won’t be disappointed. This past visit they made it for me at lunch.

Great beer selection and nicely situated bar for watching sports. They have an extensive menu featuring something for everyone. The prices are on par with a gastropub but presented in a sports bar atmosphere… Other than the slightly high prices though, the food is tasty and nicely prepared. Loyal customers keep coming back for the constantly rotating taps with often unique and hard to find brews.

Pan toasted chicken breast was succulent. It was served with yukon potatoes, chunks of garlic and caper berries. It all blended nicely together and was a great dish. For a smaller portion I recommend the micro plate filet mignon(5 oz). It was served with over whipped cauliflower and fire roasted summer squash… Mac and cheese was incredibly creamy. Service was attentive and though I haven’t eaten at the other locations this one holds up to the standards that the other one produces.
