I have been here 5 times. 1 good experience, 2 mediocre, and 2 complete jokes. I will say that the food is at a good price point. The 8 oz KC strip w/ a salad and a side for $9.95 is probably the best deal on the menu (if you can actually get the baked potato, otherwise you have to settle for frozen fries or tater tots).
1st visit, I got waited on by the owner/manager (not sure which)...everything was on point, so I returned. The next time I couldn't get a baked potato, I sat with an empty beer in front of me for most of the time, and I watched the bartender play with her phone most of the time. The 3rd visit was easy, but no baked potato. The 4th time I went in, the bartender not only didn't greet me within 10 minutes, she was so busy blabbing about her personal life to a bar customer that she promptly greeted 2 people that came in after me, so I left completely aggravated believing that unless the owner waits on you, the service is a joke. I went back on xmas night. The KC strip was on the special board for $8.95. What a deal! I brought my family with me this time. We order 3 KC strips, 2 med rare, 1 med well, and baked potatoes were available! Exciting right? WRONG! All 3 steaks came out burnt to a crisp and extra well done...not to mention the 30 minute ticket time. Then I noticed...only the steak was on the plate. The steaks sat in the window drying out for God knows how long waiting on the baked potato (which we never got). The service was actually ok, but the problems with the kitchen plagued our visit. How are you going to put a special on the board and completely miss the mark? How about the bloody mary served in a rocks glass? First day bartending? Or the ketchup bottle that was 90% empty and the half empty salt & pepper shakers? I am relieved to say that I never ventured into the bathrooms, or I am sure my review would have plummeted to 1 star and morphed into an onslaught of choice curse words. I say this, because if they don't refill or wipe the condiments, I can pretty sure guarantee you they don't work wonders in the bathroom cleaning department.
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention the french dip. A french dip is shaved beef, preferably prime rib. What I saw looked like left over beef brisket. WTF?
This place is too inconsistent for me to give it any more chances. The value is only good if the quality surpasses the expectation of the pricing. Birdie's is a gross, unmaintained disaster. They can kiss my business goodbye. -

A good place to watch a KU game.
One of the Saturday drink special is $2 domestic draw - check, the Irish is a decent price - check and the food is tasty - check.
The bartender was attentive. She was able to handle the regulars and the newbies with ease. Kudos to her!
The prime rib sandwich with fries special was pretty dang good. The bread was unexpectedly garlic toasted which added to the meat seasoning. Personally the fries were under fried and needed more salt. But with tons of mustard on the side they were fine.
It's not super close to my house. But with the above listed marked off my sports bar checklist I will probably stop back by to watch a game. -

I have been looking for a local spot to drink and eat and maybe get crazy on some darts. You know, that one bar that you and your friends can always count on for good service and a good stinkin time? This may be the place.
The food was decent. I had some cheeseburger sliders that were pretty tasty and the drink specials are good. We went on a weeknight, and don't ask me which one, but they had Mexican bottles for $3. Not too shabby.
The service docked them a star. Our server was in snail mode. God, she just took her sweet ass time with everything and my boyfriend sat with an empty glass for about 10 minutes. Then we both sat and waited for our check for a good little while after we were finished. Hello, don't you know we're ready to leave when we're done eating and not ordering any more drinks? Oh well, will give it another try soon. -

I meet a buddy here for lunch from time to time so this is really just my lunch time experiences.
I usually get the taco special (75 cents each) and they're good. Last time I got the chicken fingers. Worst ever. I think the cook was a little inexperienced that day so I'll cut them some slack since the tacos and fries have always been good.
Atmosphere is dark. It's probably fine for evening, but for lunch time it's a little bit of a downer. I know people that eat there a lot for lunch and dinner, and they love it, for whatever that's worth.
Overall, the food and price are good, and the servers are solid. -

Birdies actually would remind someone of a small Tanners only with a golf theme. One thing bad about living in the suburbs in the midwest is the absence of the neighborhood bar (unless you count Applebees a neighborhood bar, I don't). Birdies is about the closest thing to a neighborhood bar in Johnson County. I felt right at home there. The crowd skewed a little bit older; at the time I walked in, I'm pretty sure I was the youngest one in the bar. I even got carded when I ordered my Guinness. My goodness, my Guinness was even served at the right temperature, maybe even a little warm. What a nice change from everywhere else where it's served ice cold.
I was able to sit back on my barstool, that's right the barstools had backrests. I got to sit back and watch the Chargers beat the Colts. The fine folks at Birdies even had the sound for the game pumping through the bar's speakers. It's a perfect place to sit back and watch a playoff football game. The oldsters hanging around even were pretty well informed, especially for people wearing KU gear (KU gear is usually a sure sign of sports ignorance). I meant to only have one Guinness but I just couldn't resist another since the game was tight and I wasn't sure about the next location's sports barness (that's right I made that word up, live with it). Sadly, the only drawback to Birdies is the rather uninspired tap choices, Bud, Bud Light, Bud Select, Miller Lite and Coors Light as well as Guinness and Boulevard Wheat and Pale Ale. -

Been there 3 times now and Paula seems to really have a lot of desire to run this place well. The first night in I had the filet and NY cheesecake for dinner. The cheesecake was NOT infused with refer funk like it is in most places. Steak was your average "wrapped in bacon" variety. it was cooked as ordered (MR). I was pleased that they had Woodford for my Manhattan but suspect there were no bitters added. Overall, the place is still at a bargain pricepoint.
I stopped in on the next day for some to-go orders and was shocked that there is a 30c surchage on each to-go item. The items themselves were of good quality: CX quesadillas and wings. IMO this practice alienates those who would potentially order take-out on regular basis (me). My third experience involved a seat at a table (in lieu of the bar) where my Manhattan was served without a cherry, the salad was clearly the pre-shredded product from a food service company--HOWEVER--I feel that the attempted flavor combination worked: red onion, ham, mushrooms, & Italian dressing. My recommendation is to add sliced heirloom tomatoes with bacon and boiled egg--like a Cobb but not use the food service shredded material. Consider spinach, nuts and arugula for this product (chopped in house).
Kudos to you for stocking Woodford; perhaps consider stocking a higher level beef--or maybe your demographic doesn't demand that excess? However, I would recommend eliminating the 30c surcharge for any to-go items. We all feel like we are being nickeled and dimed as a matter of course--I don't think that you want to be known as a nickel and dime establishment. -

I came for the $10 steak night - what a deal! Salad with homemade ranch (I know someone dissed the bag salad earlier, but believe me with this ranch it doesn't even matter.) Second course was a steak with beautiful grill marks,well-seasoned and a gigantic baked potato. Of course I had to take advantage of their beer special. . . . .Maybe not the most romantic date, but for once I was proud to be a frugal date, cuz this girl's never cheap;)

Wow this place has a really great staff! Everyone in there was very nice! The food was excellent and I didn't wait very long after ordering. Every night they have great dinner and drink specials. I have been there a few different times and every time I like this place more and more!!!
