   We waited at our table for a bit before our waitress came. After she arrived, she was friendly, and attentive. Her check ins, were just right. Everyone enjoyed their food.

   Absolutely fantastic service! We return here because the staff is top notch and we always are treated like family. Everything comes out perfect or it is corrected with a smile. This is one of our favorite KC restaurants. They had a lovely Easter menu. We were there on Easter Saturday and it was delicious.

   We’d requested table 48 on Open Table, but it was occupied when we arrived. We were seated at another table nearer the noise of the kitchen & restroom traffic. Disappointing. Michael, our server, was great! He never rushed us, brought all plates together and didn’t hover. We’ve had Michael before, he knows what he’s doing! Finding the balance between service and being a nuisance. 👍🏻

   This would have been barely one star if the manager hadn't PAID for our meal. After ordering, we waited nearly a FULL HOUR for our food. At one point, I finally asked to speak to a manager, and she made some excuse about the kitchen being backed up, but I watched the people in the next booth be seated, order, get their food and finish eating while we were still waiting! The server and I both speculated that the kitchen had LOST our order! The server was personable, but, adding insult to injury, I had to ask him three times for lemon for our iced tea, and flagging him down was difficult, even when he was at the next booth. As I told the manager, we've been going to that Houlihan's since it first opened, and we went this time because we received an email with a "$10 off" coupon. She covered our meal plus a dessert, and said we could save the coupon "for next time". We won't be using it, because it expires May 1, and we certainly won't be returning by then, if ever. As I had told her, Houlihan's service has really gone downhill in recent years.

   We absolutely love Houlihan’s it’s our go to restaurant. Tonight was exceptionally disappointing from our waitress to our entrees. We are not usually complainers but the meatloaf was not edible. It was dense with dull flavors. Our waitress was lacking with timing and concern of our disappointment. Totally fail!

   Waitress never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. Also took a long time for her to take our order.

   Fries were cold, it was almost like they had taken a plate of leftover fries from a table and placed my sandwich on it. They brought out 'hot' (not so hot) fries as a replacement but still.... Chicken sandwich has gone downhill from the exquisite sandwich of the past. You would think they would know how to make one of the 5 signature menu items. It was bland and slighty overcooked on temp, so not very juicy. Overall, not a good experience, will not try this location again.
