The food wasn't bad! We went with a big group and the restaurant was decently busy. I think it would be better for a date night or 4 people

I was surprised why it took us this long to visit this place. It's definitely in the neighborhood where you have plenty of options.
But, this place is simply amazing, it has really cool interiors, combined with modern and rustic look.
We sat on a bar seats and had a very pleasant talk with the bartender (Lekin) she made us amazing drinks some of them were out of the menu.
We ordered truffle Parmesan fries (It was 4/5), and cheese curds (5/5).
Make sure you visit this place, it definitely need more set of eyes.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Food was generally pretty good. Breakfast potatoes a little salty, eggs bennie not too shabby. However, they were out of a beer and suggested another. The beer was about 3/4 full and not cold. I ordered another against better judgement and the server stated that that beer had also just ran out. I ordered another different beer. Once again, 3/4 full and slightly cooler than room temperature. The ladies with us also ordered espresso martinis and they were basically Kahlúa poured into vodka. Not good.
Probably won't go back due to the warm beer, otherwise the server was nice and the food was pretty good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lexie P.Kansas City, MO167817Mar 22, 2024
Unfortunately, I would not recommend BLVD tavern. The service was extremely slow and at least 7-10 min wait to find our server at any time. The first mimosa brought out tasted like water so we informed the server, the server said they ran out of OJ concentrate and offered us different flavor options. We decided to leave because we wanted OJ - then the server mentioned they had OJ and we stayed. The food took extremely long. The burger had no flavor. The gravy also had no flavor. The mimosas we ended up with also tasted wrong - I wish it was true OJ and not concentrate.

Stopped by BLVD Tavern this past weekend for brunch and HOLY SMOKES you need to add this to the top of your brunch list.
We had the best brunch and cocktails BLVD Tavern made its way to the top of my fav brunch spots in KC! Parking was super easy and service was top tier. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. They also have an indoor event space for rent. Everything was great!
What we got: Chicken-N-Biscuit, BG&E, Smoked Salmon Benedict, Chilaquiles, Quiche of the Day (peppers & asparagus), Cheese Curds, a Mimosa, Bloody Mary, Rum Punch, BLVD Old Fashioned, and the Bee's Knees.
You CANNOT miss the Chicken-N-Biscuit, it stole the show! The corn flake crusted chicken and bourbon maple syrup were I highly recommended making a reservation for your next brunch date. They offer many seating options inside, outside on the patio, and even have an event space avalible for larger parties to rent out! Let me know if you try it!
p.s. they have the best ranchHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Bre L.Kansas City, MO2353559Jan 12, 2024
A few Colleagues and I go to BLVD tavern for happy hour and sometimes lunch. We were there last night and I got their hot beef sandwich to take home to share with my husband. And oh my God that was the best hot beef sandwich we've ever had! Tender, juicy, savory! My husband was so impressed! We had it with the truffle fries that are also so yummy! But I ordered the sandwich because 2 tables down I saw a guy order it and the smell was wafting over to our table, I was like I have to get this to go! So, if you're starving and have a big appetite go ahead and order it for yourself. Or if you want to split it, start with the truffle portobello mushrooms during happy hour for half off and half the sandwich will be plenty! The staff are always friendly and attentive too. Highly recommend this place!

Blvd Tavern is a great place to stop in for a quick bite or drink on Southewest Boulevard. I visited during happy hour, which made their menu prices quite reasonable. I enjoyed some tasty cheese curds and a beer for $10 + tip. I didn't love the look of the prices outside of the happy hour - but that is par for the course these days.
The space is simple, with a long wrap-around bar, and seating all the way back along the wall. Despite being a shotgun layout, the lighting was sufficient and it didn't feel like a dark dungeon. The service was great - our server was friendly, ensured we got our order in before happy hour, and checked with us several times. The manager did as well.
While Blvd Tavern probably isn't somewhere I'd hang out for multiple hours, it is definitely a good spot to keep in the rotation.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mario J.Knightdale, NC3082122Aug 6, 2023
We went during brunch. The food was absolutely amazing! The corned beef hash and the chilaquile were both very good!!! And we actually mixed them both together and it was beyond amazing!!!!!
It's pricey, in my opinion, with the corned beef hash at $21 and the chilaquile at $18.
Drinks are very, very, VERY OVERPRICED!!
And I have never experienced a charge for ice before! And at $6 not the whiskey ball round or square cubes!!
Just plain old ice!!
Don't order ice with alcoholic drinks!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Mario, thank you for coming in and we are so glad you thoroughly enjoyed the food!
We just want to clarify that the additional charge is for a Rocks pour, not the ice involved. A Rocks pour is a double pour of liquor for $3. $6 total for the 2 drinks. We apologize that this wasn't explained properly during your visit with us. - Jul 2, 2023
Blvd Tavern was a unique hipster joint. I went with a group of friends for brunch. We were promptly seated, with no wait. Our server was very friendly and checked in on us. I got an impossible burger with truffle fries. The burger was great but the true star of the show was the truffle fries. They were amazing and the aioli that came with them was to die for. This is a casual place to grab a bite. I want to come back and try some of their alcoholic drinks.

My first experience at Blvd Tavern was eating in the restaurant and the food and service was great. However, this time we order carryout and it was the worst. I ordered the french dip and a side salad. Now why on earth would anyone but salad and a hot sandwich in the same box. The salad was completely wilted from the heat of the sandwich. On top of that the dressing cup wasn't closed properly so the bottom bread of the sandwich was so soggy I had to scrap it off and throw it and the salad away. I didn't get a pic of that. I did however get a picture of the pretzel my girlfriend ordered. It was $16 and a mall pretzel tastes better. On top of that it was very deceiving based on the menu description and the large pizza box that put a pretzel that's barely larger than my hand in. I wish I was with her when she picked up the food because I would never taken it because it was way below standards I hold for any restaurant. My advice would be to make sure you check your order prior to leaving. We never order a togo order again since the quality isn't the same as in restaurant
