Surprised! Didn't like Houlihan's before, but when they advertised Gluten-Free friendly options we decided to give them a try again. I asked for their ribs and got a plate that was easy to divide into a full portion to take home as well as one to enjoy in the restaurant. The ribs were extremely tender and tasty and were pair with fresh steamed green beans and a hefty portion of mashed potatoes. My husband really liked their French Dip. Enough to get it again when we went back again. The second time around I got the filet in order to go a little lighter, and once again it was a great taste.

Something very bad has happened to this Houlihan's. I don't know why I went back as I avowed not to in my previous review. But I did and I scarfed down the lukewarm fries and stuffed my face with the addictive chicken avocado egg rolls with no shame. I only went back because I wanted to use my birthday coupon. So the teenage server has the nerve to come back and tell me, a grown woman, that he knows I already used my coupon at another location as if I am some degenerate that is trying to run coupon scams for $15 a pop when I am also ordering appetizers and drinks for $40. I really don't know why he was trying to cast aspersions on my character, I really don't, but I don't appreciate it and Houlihan's can go ahead and suck me.

This is a local place to go for great deals on happy hour drinks and food. I've had several options on the menu. The wings are definitely my fm favorite. They are crisp and ha e a great flavor. The chicken lettuce wraps need more seasoning or something different, I'm not really sure but they are pretty bland. The pretzels with cheese are delicious and cooked well. They are one of my go to's when I come here. The nachos and quesadillas are like any other bar food. Nothing special, could use more toppings. The drink menu is pretty good here. There are a variety of drinks on special. One night is half off wine and they even have wine flights. I've had pretty decent service here but overall the food is just average.

Stopped in after being on planes all day, it was comfortable and the Cesar chicken salad was huge! Very well prepared and went perfect with the stout beer the server suggested!

My friend had had a long horrible day and she lives down in Edgerton. Rather than make her come up to civilization, I met her on the edges of it, at the Olathe Houlihans. Right by Bass Pro, this Houlihan's has an (appropriate to the burbs) ENORMOUS patio with the signature cool red deck chairs that make you think you're seaside on a cruise. Service was good, food was good. Not bad for a chain. Oh, and as always, FourSquare provides with a frites order for free every time you check in. With their take on poutine (called "disco fries"), that might be reason enough to stop by.

I have had a love hate relationship with Houlihan's for a long time. I have always liked the food, but every visit there seems to be something that makes it less then enjoyable. Now the food is starting to lack moving the relationship more towards the hate side of the Love-O-Meter. It seems like the quality has been declining. I have always been a fan of the French Dip, but the beef has become bland. Cooked perfectly, just lacking in taste. The roll it is served on has become doughy instead of a crisp baguette. Dipping it in the Au Jus just makes it slimyish. This location is also slipping in appearance. It is apparent they don't move the salt, pepper, and sugars when they clean tables. They don't clean the back wall in the booths. They don't clean fixtures and you can see marks in the layers of dust. The menus are dirty and the plastic coverings cracked. I expect a little more from a place that charges $13 for a French Dip with fries. The only thing that keeps this place going is the deals they constantly have. Eliminate those and there would be no reason to go back. What once was a decent chain is becoming the norm of what everyone hates about chain restaurants.

Sit at the bar and ask for Charlie on Wednesday nights! He's the best! Order the lettuce wraps with a side of Sriracha or the Spinach dip.

It's good to see restaurants and businesses pushing into (relatively) undeveloped areas compared to the more densely populated areas farther east on 119th St. This comes at the caveat of having an interesting concourse of roundabouts and U-turns to get to this Houlihan's, though. The interior is well-maintained and clean, with plush seating in the inner area. There's also a bar and patio. Service and food wise, they do a great job. This might be slightly biased on due to a small sample size, but grilled salmon I had was tender and wasn't too heavily seasoned. I also had the Tuscan white bean salad, and its presentation was creative and artistic. One issue to note is that food portions are on the smaller side. If you're hungry, you'll either have to order more food, or grab a snack.

I was very disappointed in my lunch experience today. My friend and I met for lunch and we got there before the lunch rush hit so you would think we would have good service. Our service was anything but good. Constantly was asking other servers besides our own for condiments , etc because his chatting with coworkers behind the glass on the expo line must have been to much for him to check on his tables. As being a server years ago I was shocked on how bad service has gotten especially on a restaurant I previously had received very good service. Most likely will not return to this location.

So a bunch of us crashed the bar for happy hour tonight. Most of us ordered food. I personally took advantage of the happy hour apps special. I ordered the hummus and the lettuce wraps. The hummus was pretty good but I was starving lol. The wraps were ok. I don't like it when they serve the harder lettuce with the dish and prefer the softer outer edges that I can actual wrap. But the manager (?) over heard me and offered to change it out. I declined. By that time I was almost finished. The peanut sauce with the wraps dish was tasty. The bartender was very busy but seemed to handle it well and we rarely had to wait more than a few minutes before he caught our eye and our order. I've come into the habit of ordering a cappuccino or an espresso after dinner and was a bit disappointed when they didn't have anything as far as after dinner coffee. This might be a good seasonal menu item to add - especially for the colder months like we are in now. Good apps specials but not so much on the drinks.

I used to LOVE going to Houlihans for happy hour. I was really excited when I first heard they were opening one in Olathe. The first few times at this location were great. Food and service were just wonderful at one point. However, that didn't last too long! The food is still pretty decent. My favorite entrees were the herb stuffed chicken and almond crusted tilapia (but I don't see those on the menu anymore ?!?). They used to have pretty good deals for happy hour. My friends and I love the thai chili wings (especially with that yummy ranch)! The lettuce wraps are hit or miss. At one time a few of the appetizers were half off, then went to 5.95, then 6.95, then I think it was up to 7.95 before they created a new happy hour menu that has small portions for 3.95. I haven't been there for the new menu, but I've heard they portions are VERY small. Now the happy hour drinks - they are still good. Being that we are in Kansas, we never really got real happy hour drink prices. After that changed, you could get a variety of drinks for under $5. My favorite drinks are still mango run drop, guavatina and any long island ice tea. The service seems to have gotten worse with every visit. It has actually been months since I was last here at this location. My last visit was THAT bad. So many things went wrong! First, it took awhile to get our drinks. When they did bring drinks, they forgot one of my kids. After we ordered, it took almost an hour to get our food. When we got it, everything was cold. Im pretty sure our waitress was busy smoking because I could still smell it on her when she came back. My dish was not edible so I asked for something else. She got me new food and said they would take it off my bill. When it came time for the bill, I still see my dish on there. We tried to wait to tell her to fix it but she probably went on another smoke break and we didn't feel like waiting another hour. Might give them another try whenever I crave another drink. ..

I like this place, I use to love, love, love anything and everything Houli's but it's just mediocre anymore.
(4)Bobby N.
This is not my main Houlihan's. This is more like my mistress Houlihan's on the side. I've frequented this location several times in the last few years. Service is relatively consistant, as is the food. On my last visit, my wife, daughter and nieces all came in after doing some shopping. Our server was friendly and attentive. I was sad to find that my glass had a former customer's lipstick on it. It wasn't my shade, so I sent it back. My glass of wine was quickly replaced. One member of our party also created a bit of a mess that could be considered embarrassing. (it wasn't me, but I wasn't embarrassed either. things happen, right?) One of the bussers quickly came to our aide and quickly cleaned up things before anyone in the restaurant really ever knew what happened. Overall I'd say I am very pleased with the attentiveness and friendliness I've experienced at this location. We will be back!

Enjoyed a Friday evening here with a large-ish group. Our server was friendly and laid back, and efficient. My wife and I each ordered the 1 liter Long Island Iced Teas, which I've heard are usually quite strong. They were, on the contrary, really quite weak. Very disappointed in both flavor and strength. Food wise, we started with some fries that were really, really good. For a main, my wife had a burger and I had the ahi tuna salad. Her burger looked good, and she said it was good, but nothing spectacularly memorable. My ahi tuna salad was surprisingly good - the tuna was delicious, the dressing was good and not overwhelming, and the mix of lettuce and veggies was tasty. I would go again for food, but the drinks were disappointing. I'll give it 3 stars, but it's a bit more than that for food and service.
(3)Bryn C.
I always go for the happy hour. Their long island ice teas are always great. I go for the Kentucky because it is not as sweet as the others. The apps are pretty standard. The service has always been good especially considering I am part of a large group during happy hour.

We ordered martinis tonight. The key lime martinis had no graham cracker crust and it really ruined the experience.
(2)Chelsea B.
This review is based solely on the service at this houlihans. We arrived at about 8:15 on a Saturday night. From the front door it was obvious that there were about 10+ tables available. Immediately they told us it was going to be a few minutes before we were seated. 5 or so minutes later someone led us to one of those extremely tiny two seater booths, realized it wasn't clean, and walked off. We awkwardly stood there for about a minute and then walked back to the front. No one said a word so we pointed to a row of 3 empty booths and asked to be seated there. The host said sure just a minute, walked over to someone standing near the booths to tell him, and he very obviously huffed and puffed at the idea. At that point we just turned and walked out... Probably won't be back. From what I remember the food is mediocre at best anyway.
(1)Gina M.
Used to be one of my favorite places to eat, but lately the food doesn't seem fresh, the service sub-par and the drinks watered down. Hoping it gets back on track, as the menu is great!
(3)Rachel H.
I hosted a large group at this location. I know that serving 30 people can be difficult but I was highly disappointed. The waiter could not keep track of our orders. He brought out my drink then 5 minutes later another of the same drink came out. When I said I already had one he gave the other one to me anyway, then charged me for it. My food was cold and it took over 30 minutes to get our tab at the end of the night. I understand that a large group is hard but if you are not prepared for that then a restaurant shouldn't accept a reservation.
(2)Steve S.
I have been to Houlihan's in a number of different states, as well as various locations around the KC Metro. Most of them seem to run about the same in service, flavor, etc., except for this one. My favorite is the smaller one off of Shawnee Mission Pkwy in Fairview, it is always spot on with the service and it just has a really nice feel to it. The bar area is in this one in Olathe is pretty good and I've enjoyed a few after work beers here recently. However, I have eaten here three times now and it just seems to be lacking in any zeal for customer service. Each time I've watched a few of the waitstaff congregate at the front and talk while customers are clearly seeking their help. This last time there were four of us, three of which decided on the scallops which are always good at the other locations I've been to. We waited, and waited, and...finally when our food did arrive the scallops were slightly less than ambient temperature. We were running late by then so we asked if they could please warm the food back up, expeditiously, and then waited, and waited, and back came the plates, warmed over to the point of being chewy, not impressed. Needless to say, we will probably go to another location in the future.
(2)Dan H.
Years before we were officially a couple Navaz and I went for dinner at Houlihan's in Torrance (no longer there.) We now mutually agree that it was our first date. So when I saw they were still around I had to take her. Our waitress was really sweet. Food wasn't exemplary, but certainly met expectations for a chain joint.
(4)Chris W.
New restaurant in a new mall complex that has been built in the last few years. The place was packed, had been years since I last ate at a Houlihans as I thought most of them had gone out of business. This location was super nice and they had a huge dining room and bar area. The service was incredible even as busy as they were they had our lunch out to us within 15 mins of us ordering it. I had the Bleu Chicken Salad and my guests had the Scallops. Great meals, great service, and great atmosphere.
(4)Jesse H.
The pot roast is great but they sure know how to ruin a good piece of sirloin. Greens beans were terrible as well. Atmosphere is pretty good.
(3)Jim P.
Kudos to Dan the GM. He reached out to me after my bad experience last week to find out the whole story and make it right.
(4)Sue M.
What a great dinner I had compliments of Houlihan's for my birthday! I ordered the garlic cheese stuffed chicken breast, and I was not disappointed. It was delicious!! Served with a generous helping of mashed potatoes and green beans, this is definitely one of my favorite things to order when I go to Houlihan's. Be sure you sign up for their e-club and you can have any entree with a value up to $15.00 too!! I also love their new smart phone app, MobileHou, it lets you look at your check and pay your bill via PayPal or Amazon and your credit card doesn't even leave your hands. A great service that I am glad to see. I feel safe knowing my credit card is safe and secure in my wallet.
(4)Amy A.
Our food and service was above and beyond what is typical! We we're especially picky in what we wanted and they graciously obliged, making us forever fans! Thanks to our waitress and the awesome manager Bevin!
(5)Jamie B.
First I would like to say I love Houlihan's, especially the one on 95th. I went here for my birthday last weekend, and we ordered the Thai wings. They were cold in the middle, so we sent them back. When our new wings came out they were overcooked. For my entree I got the stuffed chicken breast. It was also raw in the middle. A male mgr stopped by our table & was very rude & said "we'll take it off" & walked away. I could have gotten sick eating raw chicken & he didn't seem to care. My Fiancé said his ribs were also terrible. We did love our waitress. She was very attentive & friendly. I will be back, but not to that one!
(1)Dan D.
The one thing that this Houlihan's has going for it would be the speed at which they can turn lunch customers in and out. This can also be their downfall. Now I know that the key to making money in the restaurant business is turning tables but when it feels like you are getting escorted out so the next table can sit down it gets a little old. I have been there on several occasions and this tends to be the theme with this place. The food is consistent, you can tell they aren't scared to season food but sometimes the fries are cold and the sandwiches can get a little soggy. The staff is hit and miss sometimes they provide excellent service other times you get the impression that they are just too busy with tables to do their jobs well. The restaurant is clean and so are the bathrooms which is a very important things especially when you consider how busy they are. I recommend this place if you are looking to get in and out quick for lunch.

Usually I go to the Houlihan's on 95th Street because it's close to where my folks live, but tonight I wanted to eat out closer to home. I get Houlihan's e-mailings, so that probably prompted the inspiration. I didn't want to cook, but wasn't hungry for a full-fledged dinner, so "grazing" at Houlihan's seemed appealing. This location is on 119th Street, just west of I-35. You enter on Renner Blvd. and have to maneuver your way around some annoying roundabouts to get there. The restaurant is attractive, with a more modern, bistro-like decor than the 95th Street location. I went with my plan to graze from the small-plates menu, so I ordered a small Caesar salad, a small order of the deep-fried stuffed 'shrooms, and the calamari. The salad and the 'shrooms came out together. The salad was fine. The 'shrooms were huge -- enormous mushroom caps stuffed with something creamy and then perfectly deep-fried. They were hot, greaseless, and ultra-crisp on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. Yum! The calamari were good, although not quite as well-fried as the 'shrooms. (The coating was slightly flour-y.) I still had some room, so I ordered the bourbon pecan pie for dessert. It was very good and not cloyingly sweet -- a small individual tart rather than a traditional wedge of pie. Service was efficient and Kansas-friendly. They're not open as late as the 95th Street location, but reasonably late, especially on weekends.

Once upon a time, when I was six or seven or eight, my parents' friend Rod was the manager of the Houlihans on the Plaza. We'd go there every once in a while to eat and I always loved it because I loved Rod. One day, Rod left Houlihans for Texas Roadhouse and then some years later Houlihans on the Plaza closed. And sometime in there, I started associating Houlihans with TGIFs and Applebees-- standard, nasty chain food with virgin daiquiris and lots and lots of flair. Never thought much about Houlihans again. In the more recent future (say, a week ago) I heard that the Houlihans - Olathe location had started serving brunch and that it was quite tasty. Motivated by a small coupon for the buffet, I decided to drag myself and my boyfriend to 119th and 1-35 (um, guess what? It took me a whole ten minutes to get there). Not the fault of the Houlihans people, but seriously -- Olathe, why the hell did you design the shopping center that way? Houlihans was a little hard to get to. And sometimes I REALLY HATE ROUNDABOUTS. We got seated right away and had a really fantastic waiter serving us.The decor is also REALLY cute-- you hardly feel like you're eating at another chain restaurant. I grabbed the Mimosa Flight, which was three small glasses of champagne and various juice. Scrumptious. Their coffee was also pretty good. The buffet is filled with lunch AND breakfast options (true brunch, imagine that). Have you ever had sweet potato pancakes? Thanks to Houlihans, I haaaave. They were yummy. And I highly recommend the omelette bar. The brunch buffet is about $14 per person and only served on Sundays at the Olathe location. But it's worth the drive and the crazy navigation through that shopping center. I recommend that everyone give it a chance. Houlihans is no longer your flair-happy neighborhood Apple-GIFs. It's all grown up.

Tuesday Nights is half priced bottled wine~ Best deal ever!!!! The wine list could be a touch better, but I'm never disappointed with Ménage à trois! Magnifique.
(5)Bryan E.
You know, for a chain restaurant, I think Houlihan's is pretty darn good. The menu is a crowd pleaser with options that satisfy multiple palates. When we gather a group for work it's typically our first choice, especially for Happy Hour. I think the biggest fault here is with the staff. I have had inconsistent and unresponsive service every time. Then again, I typically spend about $8 with tip so maybe my expectations are too high.
(3)Mike W.
Had dinner with friends last Saturday. Our waitress, Mitchy, was very good. She provided excellent service without being intrusive. My wife had the petite filet which was very good...I had the prawns which were also very good. Their stuffed mushrooms were some of the best we've had. If you're in the area, it's worth eating there.
(4)Trevor T.
Big fan! Food is always great and served fresh with a nice presentation. Nice happy hour drink specials at the bar or patio. Service has always been solid.
(4)Cindy D.
I normally stop in the Houlihan's in Leawood. This time we were out near i-35 and thought why not. The food was good as usual, you got an order of free fries if you checked in on 4 square. But the acoustics were a bit loud compared to the Leawood location. My family loves the Brentwood Chicken!
(3)Adam P.
Looking for a quick meal? Or a sit down dinner? Or a few drinks after work? Or a place to meet friends or someone new? Want a spot with a sports bar? Or an Outdoor Patio? or a lounge? Want good food at good prices? Want a wide variety to suit just about anyone's taste? Hit up Houlihan's where all of this is possible...the meals do not wear thin, and the bill does not raise your brow. It is an all-around meet everyone's needs type place! Doesn't hurt to be right off a major street and a main highway at I35 and 119th :) As a Realtor for the Greater KC area, it also provides a great location to meet and discuss real estate with clients.
(4)Amy C.
Houlihan's is stuck smack dab in the middle of Olathe - a mecca for chains. And, while a chain, there's something about the Houlihan's food that doesn't seem so chain-y. While my husband and I aren't regulars here, we do live and work in the area and occasionally find ourselves charged with finding a place close by to meet up with friends and colleagues. Houlihan's stand out above the other chains as a decent choice. On Wednesday, 2/1/12, I ate at Houlihan's with colleagues. I never order chicken fingers, but on this day I was craving some comfort food. I subbed fries for mashed potatoes and kept the cole slaw. The chicken fingers hit the spot, they were moist and crunchy. The mashed potatoes were fine, however the cole slaw was not good at all as it was overly seasoned - one bite and I couldn't handle any more. The server was attentive and kept us supplied with drinks. She had our food out in a jiffy, which was great since we were on lunch break. Will I go back? Certainly. Houlihan's is a great place to lunch with their 15 minute guarantee - they guarantee to have your lunch to you within 15 minutes of placing your order .
(3)Mike B.
Go at 9 or later on the weekend for half price appetizers...order the lettuce wraps and shrooms! Great...and they have great drink specials..
(4)Lori T.
The Olathe Houlihan's is a common stop for our small clan in part because there is so little competition out our way. Houlihan's works for a low-key date night, a girl's night or dinner/lunch with kids ... that being said, every trip here is an adventure -- and not always in a good way. What always works? The setting is stylish with three seating choices - main dining room, bar or patio. One menu item I love in the winter is the pot roast. It is perfect comfort food. Another item I can recommend is the skinny mojito. Refreshing taste and pretty presentation with mini calories. What doesn't work? Apparently some of the servers if you are on the patio. It's almost like they forget you are there. What is a 50/50? Avoid wine by the glass (it's the only place I ever had to send back a glass of wine that had turned) The menu has a lot of options but few are really outstanding. Most are on par with what an accomplished home cook could pull off is he/she had an hour to prepare dinner. Overall it's a B. If there was better competition our way it could hurt them -- lucky for them, that's not likely to happen anytime soon!

We had lunch here today for my hubby's birthday. If you sign up for their emails you get a free menu item up to $15.00. He ordered the Cheesy Royal Yum Yum Burger. This is a burger smothered in Velveeta Cheese. Yes I said Velveeta. He said it was just okay. He has had better burgers other places. It also came with a few fries. I wanted to order the fish tacos, which I had ordered before but the waitress said they had changed them and instead of grilled tilapia they not batter it and fry it. The batter has milk in it so I opted for the French Dip minus the provolone. The French Dip was okay at best. The meat was fatty and grisly. I did have a ton of fries which was nice. I only ate 1/2 the sandwich and packed the other 1/2 up for the hubby to eat later. The waitress was okay I did have to track her down to pay our bill and get a to go box, but she did bring hubby to chocolate chip cookies for his Bday. We normally only eat here when we have a coupon so twice a year, or there is a great special like happy hour with $1 sliders and cheap drinks so about two more times a year. Not a favorite of ours, but okay in a pinch if everything else is booked.
(3)Stephanie P.
This was an insufficient visit for me. I think the lure of the suburbanite shopping center next to all the new ostentatious buildings did me in. I was trying to decide where to take my mom to dinner and I thought this would be the perfect location for both of us. The place was nice as hell. I'll give it that much. It was large and pleasing to the eye. The server was fast and courteous. Now for the review of the food. If you look up the word bland, it tells you that it means lacking in special interest, liveliness, and individuality. And in parentheses next to the definition is a picture of my chicken parmesan. The meat was highly questionable. I was expecting something grand since they listed the executive chef on the menu. Sad Face. The sauce was saucy and the cheese was like the shredded mozzarella from the grocery store. My taste buds were still screaming at me when I got home. Oh, my mom ordered the spicy frito burger. She said, "gee, it tastes just like a burger with fritos on it." The description in the menu was so intricate, she just had to try it. It had pepper jack cheese, pico, some spicy mayo, and fritos, jalapenos, and guac. It's amazing was good writing and engineering can get us to purchase. I was unpleasantly surprised.
(2)Tresha G.
What got my attention to this place was the small plates and open late. I ordered a carryout on a very bad winter night. Yes, for food, ice and snow can't keep me away. This being the first time here, I was amazed how big it was, and packed. I guess I am not the only one that snow can't keep home. Upon arriving home and digging in, nothing was really wow with my food. It was eatable. I have not been back. Not even for my birthday free meal.
(2)Badluk C.
Not much to offer to vegetarians who go here on a family outing. Sure, there are salads - with meat on them or a flatbread - if you want pizza. I opted out for the Rustic tomato soup - it was almost inedible ... way too much salt. I also got the Tuscan white bean salad...it was okay, but it was beans on top of tomatoes and greens - hard to mess that up. The best part of my meal besides watchin the server drop a stack of plates was the edamame appetizer minus the vinegar dipping sauce played off as a soy sauce. The beauty of it all was it wasn't just my food , family members received steaks cooked wrong and even the wrong items. This visit reminded me why I have not gone back to a Houlihans since high school..circa 1996.
(1)Aaron G.
I had never been to a Houlihan's before and frankly I don't know why. I just never had a desire to go to this restaurant, but finally ended up going and I am glad I did. Their lunch has a 10 minute guarantee. It will be at your table in 10 minutes or it's free. Once they take your order they leave a timer on your table. This is really good for many of those that only have an hour lunch. I had their burger and fries and the burger was mouth watering, juicy, yummy, slap yo mamma good, but their fries were pretty crummy. I was disappointed with that to say the least. There is a bar set-up that is spacious and is also separated from the seating area. I think that's a good design for those that have families, they don't have to listen to half drunk clowns yelling at the tv... lol! I would've given this place 5 stars, but I was pretty annoyed with their TV channel line up. They like to play soap operas and it is quite comical. Just watch peoples expressions as they eat and watch days of the living or whatever it's called. It's pretty hilarious.
(4)Mishawn W.
I have been here on more than one occasion and I have enjoyed my visit each and every time. I must say that I enjoy their steak and chicken fajitas. Their drinks are very good, but overpriced, and if you plan on going just to pay for yourself expect to pay $40 dollars plus a tip. The wait and hostess staff were friendly, welcoming, and attended our needs. My last visit was on my birthday a couple of months ago and we ate outside. It was quieter than indoors and the staff was just as attentive and quick as the staff on the inside. It's a great place to go meet your friends for a drink after work, but not on a Friday or Saturday night. You can expect the wait to be over an hour or longer. Tuesday nights are the best nights!!

Really do like this location more than the others. Service has always been exceptional and they are usually very fast with the food orders (especially lunch). As far as menu items, my wife and I usually go here for just dessert if we are craving something small. They used to have a mixed berry dessert that was absolutely amazing, however it is no longer on the menu. The creme brule is very decent for the money as well. For lunch try the french dip and chicken tortilla soup. Both are shockingly delicious.

We tried Houlihan's in Olathe for the first time yesterday around 2pm. They were not busy at all and wait staff greeted us promptly. I got a green tea martini which was good and ordered a smoked pork slider and parmesan fries. My boyfriend ordered the hamburger with the super duper special secret sauce (or something like that). The ambiance was nice as we were waiting for the food, but the rating level went down when our food arrived. My smoked pork slider was very dry. I had to dunk it in the sauces that came with the average tasting parmesan fries, and my boyfriends hamburger was medium, and he ordered it medium well. The super secret sauce was not that super duper and our waitress didnt come by again until we were almost done and only asked if we needed anything else. No, we didn't complain at that point. We just paid and left feeling unsatisfied and knowing that we would not be returning.

Signed up email alerts and received a free birthday meal. Signed up for texts alerts and received a free lobster tail with steak purchase text. Stopped in last Thursday and had dinner in the bar. Whats not to love about the giant long island ice tea. I think they use fake bacon on the salad, kind of like getting a pebble every so often. Steak cooked perfect, asparagus seasoned well and crisp. Skin on mashed screams lazy prep cook to me but its part of our culture now so i cant fault them, they were hot and tasty. Now the free lobster tail, warm water tails aren't my favorite to start with and when cooked to death i like them even less. Service was top notch and i will definitely be back, the chain that doesn't seem like a chain.

Typically one of my favorite lunch spots, close to everything, good quality food and fast service. Most recently something has changed. Last two times I ordered the French onion soup, both times I had to ask for a soup spoon and watched as wait staff wandered around as if searching for a mystical beast. A lady at another table asked the bartender if someone was assigned to wait on them, her answer was yes, pointed to two servers by the cash register and continued to wait on the bar patrons. Soup was good, but something has changed.
