Michael Forbes Bar & Grille

"Today was my first trip to Michael Forbes Bar & Grille in Brookside, MO. It's a nice-looking place with a warm greeting and quick seating. Water was brought to the table immediately, and my drink order taken quickly. My entrée was the seared salmon salad, which was prepared very well, but the salmon portion size was only about the size of a large chicken finger, leaving me exceptionally disappointed at this price-point. While I was eating, all I thought was, "shrinkflation is here." Checking out was pretty quick, even at the busiest dinner hour. All-in-all, this was moderate value for my $25, due to the portion size, but I don't regret the experience."

"What a great place to get something to eat. Lunch or supper. You can dine inside or outside. Try their desserts are awesome."

"Great little place with a long history in KC. I met a friend there for happy hour at 3 o'clock. We wanted to meet somewhere quiet for an informal business meeting, and he chose here. I enjoyed my specially priced margaritas he enjoyed a nice white wine. The food was ok. We only had appetizers. But I need to return for a meal. They have some good-looking daily specials l really want to try. If you're looking for a great place where the locals hang out with good drinks and tasty food, this is definitely that."

"Stopped in during luck to try this restaurant in Brookside. They have homemade chips and the bacon and Brie burger I got was good. Cool spot, chill, great service."

"Came in at 7 on a Friday night, no wait. should have been my clue. Ordered Fried chicken, and it was cooked so much that it had no juices left. And Brussels sprouts were very hard. Had to ask for the complementary bread. And server staff were very into their own conversations instead of in the dining room taking care of patrons. Ordered a Brookside burger for replacement, cooked mid rare, but all the juices were squeezed out of it. Michael Forbes would be rolling in his grave……. Unless he is alive, then he needs to get himself back In the kitchen and manage this place. Definitely disappointed!! Additionally, the tip shown on the ticket is WAY off. The % is inflated by 50%."
