Shindigs Bar & Grill

Reviews made it seem like the place is inconsistent so perhaps we came on a good day. Chicken fried chicken was tender, well seasoned, and the gravy perfectly thick. We had no issues with the service and the place was clean. Fun decor for sure.

The place is nice for a small town! It gives you their style of dining which is important. We went there to enjoy a great meal. Plus to watch KU play on one of the big TVs that they have throughout the restaurant. You can either eat inside or outside on the second-floor patio.
It was my two friends and me who went there right before the big game started. We had a booth by a window and it was quiet at first. Our waitress was a student who attends Cowley CC.
We started with drinks and were planning to get wings for an appetizer but they were sold out. So we then decided on chicken fingers and told her to have them cut in half. They came out nice and hot plus french fries with bbq sauce and ketchup.
We then went ahead and order the main dish as we were not in a hurry to eat and run. After all, we went to enjoy a nice relaxing time.
We all order different kinds of streaks. Two people order KC strip and I order the sirloin steak. All the meals came with two sides. The salad was extra as it was not offered.
A few minutes later the salads were brought out and so freshly made with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, and salad dressing that you put on yourself. We added cheese and needed double-dressing twice to cover the lettuce completely.
As we were starting to eat our salads than a short time later out of the blue here is coming to the streaks. That didn't sit well with any of us. I told our waitress that if my food was cold that I would send it back. We went to have a great meal. Not again a fast-paced meal. The others were happy with their streaks after eating the salads. I finished with my salad and took one bite of each thing it was not hot so it went back to the kitchen. To be honest the second plate of food looked better than the first plate served to me. The streak was juicy and had a great taste plus the homemade mashed potatoes were so delicious. Along with nice hot gravy. The carrots were great and hot as well.
The meal was missing the crackers for the salads and we all agree about that. Because you need that to balance it out.
The streaks were missing that added addition of either hot dinner rolls or Texas toasted that should come for that price. As we always get that at meals elsewhere.
Our waitress never shared her name from the beginning! That is a minus because that is very important in connecting with your customers. She did a great job in checking up and keeping all the glasses filled up and we liked that.

Our server was exceptional! Great environment. I ordered the chicken fried steak and my daughter ordered the hangover burger with a side of mac and cheese. Everything was delicious!

It was awesome! Very friendly and inviting, the building itself was a piece of art that I suggest everyone pays attention to when you visit. It's absolutely beautiful! The food good, definitely above an average taste for the food we ate. The price was proportionate. I would for sure eat there again!
