Wings are pretty solid most the time, pretty standard bar food otherwise. Prefer this location to the one in plaza. Suggest: wings with bleu cheese.
The triple blt is the best.
I've driven by all of their different locations with interest to investigate.... Thank god I finally stopped and walked in. This is one of those places that you cannot let the "down and dirty" atmosphere hinder your curiosity. But then again, you being on this website probably means crappy restaurant fronts will not turn you away. This is a gem of Kansas City, go there for the huge, flavorful, simply fantastic wings.... Stay for a crappy light beer, or 6. Enjoy!
If you order anything besides the wings or BLT, then complain about the food you're an idiot. This place is well known locally for two things, and tuna salad is not one of them. Get a BLT and/or wings and you will be happy you did.
We got BLTs and chicken wings. They were really were some of the best chicken wings I've had. Our waiter assured us that everything was fresh and made in house and we weren't disappointed.
I had their famous chicken wings.... Brilliant, simply brilliant! Serving size was half dozen but it could have fed a family of 4.... Delicious! However it took 40 mins to get them.... Service blah.
Best BLT in Kansas City and best Hot Wings! Great place to have a drink and amazing bar food.
Best Biggest Wings!. The wings are great and so is the triple blt!
Best Wings in Town. Wings are huge. A half dozen is really a dozen wings at any other place. Awesome wings at decent prices. Top it off with an ice cold beer or two.
Best wings in town, no contest whatsoever. Also, their BLT's are incredible.
The shrinking amount of Blue Cheese. I love going to the Peanut for over 15 years now and over that time I have seen a few changes. The blue cheese was poured in the plate and the wings were set in the cheese.
I loved this. Then they went to using a plastic cup that held about 1/3 of a cup of blue cheese. You got one of these for every six wing in your order. NOW we are being served these tiny shot cups that hold about 3Tbsp.
You have to order 4 extra just to eat there 1/2 dozen order !
If you have to rise the prices....RAISE THE PRICES.
Just please stop follow the corporate play book and giving less thinking no one will notice.
I still love the place and the food....just sad to see it done this way.
The Peanut is one of those places that seems like almost everyone knows about it... ...Radio show hosts, KC Star columnists, and even ESPN beat reporters talk about The Peanut's wings.

When someone tells you the wings are the only thing you need to buy, you tend to not question that. I know there are multiple locations but if they all do wings like this then I have a spot for wings all across this Metroplex. A great interior serving up great drinks and even better food with a good staff ready to quench your thirst. Wings are all I got and wings are all I needed
Absolutely adore this place! They have the best wings. Always friendly service.
Without a doubt, the best wings I have ever eaten!. Killer blue cheese dipping sauce. Great charm. Old style. We love this place. Cold beer too.
You know the food is amazing when you don’t deduct a star for the long wait.
A staple in KC, the Peanut is one of the only places you should be eating wings in KC. The downtown location is small, and quaint with regulars sharing laughs and beers at the bar.
The wings are PERFECT. Cooked and well seasoned and on this occasion I discovered their chili cheese fries. My new perfect combination!
Came at like 3 pm, an employee didn’t really take my order until 10 minutes passed. Ordered 6 Buffalo Wings with ranch. I shoulda got the 3 wings with fries cause the 6 wings was way too much food for me. Wings we’re good but they did take about 20 minutes to prep. Overall, decent place
Burger and fries are excellent! Cooked perfect and great quality and taste. Service was subpar, I didn’t get checked on the entire time I was waiting for food or eating for a refill or anything. Overall, great food if you want to try something new.
Super friendly atmosphere. Great service. The team seemed to work well together. The wings were delicious, super fresh and cooked perfectly. The ranch and blue cheese dressing were homemade but not my favorite. The fries and onion rings were pretty good, definitely fresh but not anything extra special. Overall the wings took the cake.
The wings are why you go! Still the best I've ever had. Leg and thigh with homemade blue cheese dressing. Even if you don't like blue cheese, you have to try it. It's the only one I'll eat. It's better with fries too! It's loud and busy and you're going to wait for the wings to come out, but it's WORTH it!
The best wings around and great service when they're not slammed. So the wings are as good as ever regardless of the change in time. The wings are my favorite but the chicken nachos are hard to beat.
Overall our dinner there was we've come to expect from The Peanut. Good quality, reasonably priced food. I had the Supreme nachos and he had the Reuben. Onion rings, cheese fries as well. All of it was great. The only complaint would be the lack of staff. Our server was great. He was by himself which made his jib twice as hard especially since the tables and bar were full. But it did result in a very long wait time for food and when it did come it was not quite hot. But still tasted very good. We look forward to the next time we come!
Still the best wings ever. Staff was kind but was getting crushed with tables. Beer was cold! Did I mention the wings? Every time they are amazing!
Atmosphere is very laid back, and the decor interesting, if a little grungy. Food is awesome. The burgers, wings, tenderloin are great, but the BLTs are amazing.

The best wings in all of KC! They are really big and I could only eat a little over 2 along with chili cheese fries
Came here for work lunch as part of a 6 person group. The wings were good. The place has a dive bar type vibe. Atmosphere was chill but the 6 top table near the front window is sticky to the touch. Parking could be a challenge, be ready for meters.
Best BLT ever! Dive bar with good service and friendly wait staff. Not as “charming” as the original Peanut on Main, but it’s still great, especially if you live or work anywhere downtown. Go with the triple BLT, you won’t regret it.
