    Traveling from out of town and wanted to explore the P&L district. Had an awesome lunch at another place, stopped in for a beer. The bar tender could not have been any ruder. Then the tab comes for 2 small PLASTIC cups of beer $14.80! Every other place we stopped was way cheaper and had bottle or can beer.

    Visiting the state of Missouri Downtown at the McFadden Sports Saloon was an exciting and great atmosphere to watch your favorite college football "Go Frogs." I had great burger, fries and happy hour drink. It was great service. My first to the state. First time at the stadium to watch and support Texan Patrick Mahomes,Kansas City Chiefs.

    Wings and strips. Tastes were good for the chickens. I think they need more than just 3 little strips though for the price of $9.95.

    I had the 🐔 & Bliss. Believe it or not, I have never tried chicken & waffles before. The presentation was amazing. It looked like a contemporary art exhibit. The chicken strips were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Yummy! The 🧇 was perfectly browned and large enough to complement the 🐔. The lemonade was delicious as well. The restaurant was truly capacious with two levels. The tables were equally spaced. There were at least 2 entry and exit points. There were various 📺 screens tuned to sports, of course. My server Destiny was great. She kept the lemonade flowing and inquired about the taste of my meal. She even expressed interest in my hobby and shared a bit about herself. Destiny was kind and perceptive.

    Got a Table for the Afc championship, they sold us a table that didn't exist on the floor plan and had us wait for 25 minutes to be seated. They were incredibly understaffed for such a big event and had absolutely zero crowd control measures in place (disaster waiting to happen) had our waitress running more tables than she could handle, she was great but no way she could keep up with the crowd (failure by management). Service was slow all around and bartender I interacted with was rude for no apparent reason, towards the end of the night a big fight broke out, the rumble spilled onto our table and several drinks were knocked over, had we not slid the table out of the way we would have lost a bottle and several glasses. Nobody on the staff checked on us or offered to comp drinks that were lost. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and had no toilet paper by the 2nd half of the game. I understand the challenges of hosting such a big event but capacity is needed and they need to help their employees out by staffing properly and providing crowd control. As much as I love Mcfaddens I'm not sure that I will be back after the experience we had this past Sunday. This establishment absolutely placed profit over the safety of its customers and staff. If you are planning on going here for a big event and value your safety I would not recommend Mcfaddens.

    There was no servers. We had to go to the bar to place our order, then had to go back up to the bar when the drinks/ food was ready. So we had to take a guess when it would come out, for us to go get it. Bartenders were very rude and giving nasty looks. They can afford a DJ in the middle of the day on a Sunday but can’t afford servers? Right. No one greeted us walking in so we had no idea wether to seat ourselves or not. Overall awful experience.

    Drinks are really pricey. And only like five different types of beer. And to reserve a table will cost about $100

    Haleigh Wills is my server today. Here for the Super Bowl Parade and she is fantastic! I haven't had to wait for anything. Have had food and drinks and the atmosphere is great!

    Haleigh was an absolute rockstar server. She made us feel very welcomed & comfortable. This was our first time here, and won’t be our last! We plan on coming back to see her, we loved the experience so much.

  • 5/5 Cameron C. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    My server Hanna was exceptional! She went above and beyond to make sure our entire party had the best service. Our food was delivered in a timely manner. The right amount of check ins to make sure we were good on drinks and a very friendly and welcoming attitude. Anytime I come back I will be requesting Hanna as my waitress.

    Friday at 5p in summer completely dead (which is fine). Bartender seemed annoyed when asked for a drink menu. The bathrooms are one of the grossest I’ve Been in and I frequent music festivals. I couldn’t upload the video of my feet walking but it sounded like I was stepping on bubble wrap and stale popcorn. My shoes were just sticking to the floor. $12 vodka cran if you’re curious on pricing.

    Loud very loud! Food was great and service pretty good. But very loud

    Burger was way over cooked. Our service was extremely slow, while the server was nice. She was slow. My wife rum and orange juice was so nasty she could not drink it. We have eaten at virtually every restaurant in P&L this by far was the worst. We will not be back

  • 2/5 Shannon D. 6 months ago on Google
    Bartender was rude as hell. Love PNL but definitely won’t be back to this bar :’) let me also add we had 10+ people with us who were all not having it. All with past service industry experience. Big yikes

  • 5/5 Natalie V. 1 year ago on Google
    Dani was amazing! I would recommend anyone go to this place. Great food and even better service. I will definitely be back if I’m in the KC area!

  • 5/5 Ricky J. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going here since they opened in 2007. I love the long bar that you see as soon as you walk in of the Grand Street entrance. Great atmosphere, some of the best crowds and a bunch of TVs

    if you’re looking to order drinks, order somewhere else. Make sure you use your card instead of cash. I had ordered two drinks here for $23.50 on 05/27. I gave the bartender $40 and she gave me back $1.50. I informed her I gave her two twenty’s. she responded “you gave me $25.” I then said that I didn’t even have a $5 bill to give. she refused to give me my change of $16. There were only two other people at the bar other than me and my friend, and two other people besides them on the same side of the restaurant so she was not busy to not be paying attention other than her trying to multitask. i’m sure my left over money was pocketed when the register was over $16.

    Menu was small but the wait staff was very friendly, provided excellent service. We all had burgers that were cooked perfect and tasty. Wings/fries tasty and portions great.

    Has to be one of the best places in town to catch watch football. Pregamed the a Chiefs game at the patio which has a large screen and plenty of heaters to stay warm. Inside service was a bit slow… 🏈

    Good Environment for partying 🎊🎉....and meeting up with friends or family....wouldn't recommend bringing small children because it be soooo many ppl drinking....but WE thoroughly enjoyed ourselves ‼️

  • 5/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    We came to enjoy the divisional playoff game at power and light. We've been here many times before over the years and continue to pick this sports saloon as one of our favorite. The service is pretty good and there is more room to walk between booths and tables is better than the others in this area. The food is pretty decent and they consistently make good drinks. It's a great spot to meet during the week as well. Large booths allow you to have plenty of room with several friends.

    I was excited over such a simple meal tonight. Yet it took me a minute but I sweat it was covered in 1000 island dressing. I would had preferred real cheese for the price. for a slow night it's great for a date nite if your into the sports bar scene. Well the people are nice.

    Amazing sports bar with friendly staff and good beer and wings!

  • 3/5 Kristen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was HORRIFIC!!!!!!!! I understand it was a Thursday night, but it was an event night. We finally battled our way into a table when it emptied, shared it with strangers and offered to buy them dinner, because we got to the table at the same time, and we were never approached. At all. Aside from part of the previous occupants dishes being cleared, nobody came back. Even after we stacked everything on the wide ledges of the booth to make it clear it wasn't ours. I understand being swamped but we literally had to wade thru the people at the bar to order food. Event nights need to be a hands on deck, every manager, etc, if short staffed. It was disappointing. However, it was the only experience I've ever had like that there, so hopefully it was a fluke.

  • 2/5 Patricia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Saturday 3:15 - Fun Bar, HOWEVER, paid $26.88 for 2 large beers, asked the bartender if that was correct. He seemed bothered by the question so I left only a small $2 cash tip, yet when the charge went thru my bank $26.88 became $30.88 - NOT COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3/5 Tom & Jeannie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to watch football. Taylor was a GREAT SERVER. However $14 for 2 cans of beer??? The cheeseburger tots were cold..

  • 5/5 Rob E. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Was there for the chiefs Super Bowl parade. Had amazing seats, at the window, but the best part…the server was the best I’ve ever had in P&L. If you go there ask for Haleigh Wills. She was fun, engaging, didn’t run off after order and took time to joke with us. She is a 5 star alone. McFadden’s is as was obviously.. Epic experience, hands down.

  • 5/5 Tony 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    mccfaddens is where you need to be at for a good time. the servers and bartenders are dope especially Haleigh. she helped us when we came in and I noticed her sense of urgency mixed with attention to customer made the experience that much more better!! I come in and spend almost $100 every time just on myself and to have the type of service you have just makes me want to come back time and time again.

  • 5/5 Brenda M. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Had a wonderful time at McFaddens and will definitely be back thanks to my server! Our server Haleigh was exceptional and made sure to go above and beyond to make sure everyone in my group had a good time and also made sure that our drinks and food were delivered in a timely manner despite how busy it was. I will definitely be coming back thanks to Haleigh and will make sure my friends as for her when when they come by.

    Vanessa is the best waitress here. She took care of us during the super bowl rally despite 20 other tables. Best waitress in the world. Will definitely come back and ask for her!
