Houlihan's - American restaurant in Overland Park - 11851 W 95th St, USA

Visited here for a weekday lunch for KC Restaurant Week and had a pretty good experience! The hostess opened the interior door for us and greeted us right away. She was very friendly and gave us the option of a high top or low table. The high top seating was relatively comfy which to me most high tops end up being an un-comfy stool with no padding. Our server was a nice guy and did a great job through our whole meal. Between the two of us we ordered: the Chicken Tortilla Soup & Roasted Tomato Bisque for Course 1; So. Cal Fish Tacos and Brentwood Chicken Sandwich for Course 2; and the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake and Crème Brûlée for Course 3. The tomato bisque was very hearty, well seasoned, and I loved the grilled cheese fritters! My mom said the tortilla soup was a little bland but had good ingredients. The fish tacos were about what I expected but that is not a dig - they were prepared well and had a great taste! The tortilla chips were warm and salted perfectly but the salsa was just too sweet with no spice. The chicken sandwich was huge and pretty standard. The cheesecake was rich, thick, and had a nice balance of caramel and cheesecake flavor. And of course the brûléed vanilla cream really elevated it! The Crème Brûlée was so delicious and had that iconic crispy top. I will say it had a more subtle if not duller flavor than most that I've had but overall, it was really fantastic! Overall, we had a really good lunch here at Houlihan's and even though I visit here maybe yearly, I usually expect this kind of experience. The food is always really good and I don't think I've ever had bad service here. It is nice that they are one of the participating restaurants for Restaurant Week and they give a 3 course lunch that includes Crème Brûlée!

We came here for Happy Hour … and let me tell you it’s probably the best in the area! Drink prices are extremely reasonable and the quality is outstanding. Peter and Devin, our bartenders, were friendly, knowledgeable about fine spirits, and created many inside jokes in our short time at the bar. This is your Friday night stop! We had the cauliflower, burger, egg rolls, oak aged Manhattan, bleeding rose (insta-worthy!), and the LIT (best bang for your buck). Also you could tell the whole staff was all-hands-on-deck!

We stopped here for a bite for Father's day. The food is good. The atmosphere was quaint and the service was good. I had the chicken tenders and fries, fries were old and I could definitely tell they dropped them in the fryer again to save them versus making fresh. Tenders were hand breaded and good. My husband had the chicken caesar salad and said it was excellent. We shared a firecracker shrimp appetizer that was good but served in a cold dish so they lost steam fast. The menu had some good choices, I'd rank it above a Chili's but nothing too fancy.

I received an email for 20% off for an early week dinner, and my wife and I typically love Houlihans. However, on this Monday night, i placed a carryout order to bring home dinner, and the first bite i take after my day at work included 2 metal crimps in my mashed potatoes. I did not care to investigate the rest of the meal simply returned it for a refund which they offered quickly and a couple of gift cards which i suppose is something but i will not be dining here again as that is the worst item i have ever found in my food. Which i suppose is good? Better than some possibilities, i suppose.

Went for father's day. Had a great time! Service & food was excellent! (I did get the wrong side on the father's day special I ordered, but it was still really good.) Definitely glad we went there, give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Very disappointing experience. The initial service took almost 45 minutes for appetizers. Food was basic and underwhelming. It took them two hours to get orders, food and then finally checks. We had two different serves neither of which were friendly or seemed to care to provide any service. The restaurant smells slightly damp and needs to be cleaned. The only positive was the Thai chicken wings were good.

I’m giving FIVE stars because of our server PETER!!! He was absolutely amazing!!! So kind, checked on us in a timely manner! I enjoyed my first time experience here JUST because of him! So impressed! The food was delicious and the drinks were also! My family had the stuffed chicken and I had the grilled chicken salad! YUM! I will be back JUST because of Peter!!

We went for the $10.95 all you can eat soup and salad lunch. The baked potato soup was delicious, the Caesar salad was ok. I thoroughly enjoy the white bean salad, I wish I had just ordered that. My husband had the chicken tortilla soup and house salad. He said both were very good. The Buffalo cauliflower was pretty spicy for my taste, but it was good. Great service, never drink drought.
