callahan's bar & grill

let me start a bad review with a positive.... ...the $6 cheesburger and fries/tots lunch special is pretty damn good. 1/2 lb, choice of cheese, and either fries or tots.

now, on to the bad. callahan's bills themselves as

callahan's
pizzeria - pub - grill


pizzeria. hardly!

i don't see how anyone could, in good conscience, call themselves a pizzeria when they clearly use pre-made crusts. i believe callahan's gets those tortilla-like pre-made rounds, throws some sauce, cheese, & toppings on them, and calls it pizza. very disappointing. i did get their pizza once before to go and was disappointed, but i thought maybe it was just one of those times. i went back to get the excellent lunchburgerdeal mentioned above and saw the pizza ovens. they were the real deal, so i thought i'd go back and give it another shot. this time i dined in, thinking it would surely be good fresh. holy hell it sucked!

anyway, i'll recommend theburgerdeal at lunch, but stay far away from the pizza.

bad service. would not return to the shawnee mission location. the service has always been bad there but last night was the last time for us. we go to the lenexa location and love it but shawnee mission is not good. we ordered a medium wellburgerand when it came out it was by all strandards a medium rare. my daughter in law tried to eat some of it but ate only a few bites. the waitress never came back to check. when she did we had already finished our food so she said she would talk to the manager and give a credit. she came back and told us that they would credit $2.50 but the issue was that we ordered it wrong and that it was medium well. theburgerhad blood when cut open but they insisted it met all standards for a medium well burger. i was very upset. not because it was under cooked. that happens. we didn't even care if they gave us credit. but to blame the customer and tell them they ordered theburgerincorrectly instead of just admitting it was not cooked correctly really upset me. also, what restaurant doesn't serve a 4 year old a cup with a lid? this waitress was so bad as was the manager. and honestly, the food is not the same as lenexa
