I'm kind of shocked at the 1.5 star rating of this place but I also know how hard it must be to run a smooth business & a restaurant when you're basically competing against thirty other restaurants that offer something similar to your menu. We actually walked up and down the outdoor Lincoln Mall area quite a bit before deciding on this place and it really only boiled down to the fact that the host and a few servers were laughing, dancing and having a good time. Seemed like a good place to eat after 7 hours of flying!
We also got lucky and ordered food that both of us enjoyed, and they were great portion sizes too so we left very full. Our server, a really sweet woman from Venezuela, was helpful in making recommendations, shared a little of her story with us, and gave us a good deal for drinks on happy hour too! -

My first 1 star restaurant review?
Let me start from the beginning. Came here to eat of course. The server was excellent and helpful. We were greeted right away and answered all our questions we had. My friend wanted to try the salmon burger. She said it was good and I tried looking up reviews here both google and yelp. 7 People already gave it pretty bad ratings but I didnt care because I wanted to give it a try despite what everyone else says sometime. So when we first walked in we sat near the window. Great decorations around the place. When we sat down RIGHT AWAY flies started flying around the table and us. So we asked to change table. the server was more than happy to reseated us at a different table on the other end where the booths were instead.
When we sat down we had everything taken cared of from drinks, to food, to recommendations, to our complicated self, and everything was finalized. We ordered our food. After that some how another group of flies started flying around us again but this time it seem to be 2 different types of flies. We ignored it and just try to be patient with this place even though the start wasnt the greatest. As the food came out. The food looks amazing and pretty good. I tried my food. I didnt feel satisfied from both the taste and what the menu said. My ribs were slightly dried, not tender at all as described, everything just seem to taste off about it. The sauce on it was decent. It seems like there was seasoning slapped onto the ribs and then sauced up. Gave my grilled asparagus a try. Pretty decent, then tried their mashed potatoes. This is what really went down hill. The mashed potatoes was so uneven in temperature all around. Some area was hot, another spot warm, then another spot is room temperature. I was sooo thrown off by this. Confused if this was in a container or Mr. Microwaved cooked this or reheat this back up? The flavor could be good but im just afraid of getting sick or food poisoning...
My friend got up to go throw up since he wasnt feeling well. Im not sure if it was just him or because of the food. As he was gone me and my friends tried to discuss what are we going to do? The 2 different racies of flies started to fly onto his food. It looks so sickening at this point. He asked for Med-Rare but got it Med-Well and kinda close to well done more than anything. He told my the truffle fries were soggy and just couldnt do it. He tried to scarf it down to give it a try but the end result wasnt good.
My other friend wanted to order an actual salmon but ended up getting a salmon patty. I think this is where the miscommunication started to happen. The food just didnt come out to expected. We also asked for their Dragon glazed sauce but it turns out to be some kinda pineapple pico de trashio. Honestly it was just not just miscommunication but the idea of sauce we had in mind was just different we had in mind. So the restaurant wasnt at fault for their way of putting up the menu. It was just everything was misleading. I repeat everything was just MISLEADING not because it was bad, but it was, so we decided to do something about it.
Didnt want the server to be apart of this whole commotion thats going on. So we asked for the owner or manager or supervisor. The manager sent the server and told us for a 25% discount for this. Well at this point i found it disrespectful as i wanted to see if they would do something about this.
My friends agree that we didnt want our food to be remade because the thought of getting sick of some kinda thing going on here which we dont know. it looks clean but i feel like it isnt clean.
I dont know about my friends but for me i dont mind paying for the food, just not happy with just 25% when i didnt even eat half or cant even take it to go to finish it. it was that bad! I wouldnt mind paying 50% of it and call it a day. I dont want anything here for free because thats just not right. The manager seems a bit negative due to what was going on. I was tryna be as nice as possible because i know my friends werent going to. The manager said i dont see a problem here and dont know what you want me to do? At this point im kinda ferious about what is going on and have no feelings for us. Long story short she let us go without paying for the bill and i still feel bad because i was still willing to pay a portion of it. My friends wanted to pay for their fries but thats about it.
We ended up just tipping the server and the great service but inconvenience. Im not so sure how this place is going to survive but if it ever becomes better at both food and management i will consider about coming back despiked the bad experience ive had here.
A couple nice things i would want to give this place for. I left my wallet here and they returned it and with all the cash i had inside. Which i was shocked and surprised. The atmospher of the place seems pretty cool except for all the flies flying around. Foods looks good but dont taste good. -

I would give zero stars if I could. After the girl out front told us about a special 20% off, we decided to give it a try. That's the last time I'll try something new without reading the reviews first.
Besides the 20% off being a complete scam, they charge $5 for ice tea - which is ridiculous in and of itself, although almost tolerable in a tourist area. What they don't tell you is that each refill is $5!!! And since the glasses are small, we had quite a few refills. Of course, no mention of the $5 charge. Imagine our surprise when the bill came and we were charged $80 for iced tea refills! Outrageous!
The food was awful too. -

Stopped in for a quick dessert. The staff is super friendly and the dessert was good. Only had the apple pie and ice cream .

Had a very nice meal here at Kansas Grill. Our waitress named maria encouraged us to the right choices. Had the Atlantic salmon with a caper tomato sauce and my friend had chicken Milanese. Both dinners were excellent value for the money. The wait staff were friendly. I did have one issue with the cleanliness of the men's room.
