The Pool Hall

I will take a picture next time. But, the Swamp Monster (tenderloin) was amazing. Great food, great service!!! Coming back very soon!!! Oh, wife got the cheeseburger… it was awesome too!!!

Great burgers! Sliders is what we call them. Excellant pork fritters, everything on menu is good. Try getting in there for lunch and dinner.

Cute little place with lovely friendly staff. They have darts and cool and I haven’t tried the food yet but little I’ve gone with have loved what they ordered. I’m sad it’s taken me this long to discover this place because it is SO close to me! I’ll be sure to enjoy it before I leave :)

This is the kind of bar every small town needs. I came in to watch the Royals game, have a burger and a couple beers. The double cheeseburger is so big I had to eat it open-​faced. You watch them cook it right in front of you and the beer comes in frosty mugs. If I lived closer, this would be my place. I’ll definitely be back to watch the Roys, have some beer and eat a burger and fries again soon.

Local Platte City hang out. Blue collar, un-​fancy, laid back. I’ve gone here a few times with friends after business. You can order food, but I’ve never partaken in the greasy goodness, but may have to one day. People are local, friendly and hospitable. One person’s review complained of poor service. I mean really, the place is very small and if you want a beer, just stand up, go to the bar and ask for one. They are more than happy to get it for you! The place is all decked out in NOLA stuff, mardi gras beads, etc. Smoking is allowed so if you don’t want to be around smoke, don’t say I didn’t warn you. The few times I’ve been though, nobody is really puffing up a storm however, so I can stand it for an hour or so.

Descent food but horrible customer service. Definitely not worth the wait. It took 10 minutes before I was acknowledged to get a drink. I really had high hopes for this place, home town feel with friendly atmosphere but was greatly disappointed. Don’t know if I will try it again.

This is Platte City at its best. Friendly atmosphere, All the Midwest Culture that makes you fall in love with the Midlands. Sherri makes a great Tenderloin and Burger. Best you can find in KC. We love this place!!!

Great locals joint to hang on a Friday night after work. Drinks are reasonable. Friday night taco night $ 1.25 each — they are awesome. They have a few pool tables and karaōke night is Saturday. They have some New Orleans deco — reminded our group of the NOLA trip we took last Halloween.

Go, have fun with the locals, great burger and cold beer. Interior is rustic and enjoyable. I will be back.

Implausible but true — this place has GREAT FOOD at bargain prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We had a burger (huge, but listed as ¹⁄₃ lb) and a pork tenderloin sandwich (even bigger) along with fries and onion rings. Pool room ambiance — dark but not smoky, and good friendly service. Food plus soft drink and two beers was $ 25. Well worth it!

This bar will take you by surprise. Platte City allows smoking indoors still, so it isn’t often I walk into a smoky bar nowadays. The staff here is super friendly and the locals can be either super friendly or a little standoff-​ish. depends on the night. However, the food here is actually really awesome and the drinks are very strong. We had a group and ordered for the table a cheeseburger, and 3 different side orders of fries. I can’t remember what exactly was on each order of fries, but there was gravy, onions, cheese and all sorts of awesome greasy wonder. The cheeseburger was also incredible. Juicy and cheesy and greasy. While, I can’t say you should drive here from down South, the food here is really great bar food and a great stop if you happen to be in the area and need a drink.

Great little dive. Voted one of the best burgers in the KC metro.

I you are looking for a great cheeseburger in a great dive, then this is the place for you. I try to get over for lunch about once every two weeks or so from Leavenworth. This place is the quintessential «Greasy Spoon» as my grandfather would say.
If you are not a fan of smokey bars with biker dudes running the grill, then stay away. But, if you are looking for great bar food and great bar atmosphere, then this is a place for you.
