Chappell's Restaurant & Sports Museum

The bacon wrapped pork loin is probably the most under rated item on any Kansas City restaurant menu. I just ordered it by chance and found a real gem in casual dining. The sports collection is also something you simply can't get through in one session. Well worth the driving to see and behold.Give this a try!!

Typical bar food, nothing spectacular. The restaurant itself is very cool with lots of things to look at while you're eating. The TVs could be better quality.

Ok, I'll preface this with saying I think this experience was a fluke because every time in the past I've really enjoyed my meal here.

We went to Chappell's because it's by my old high school and we thought my husband would enjoy the memorabilia (which he did).

We came here on a Saturday around noon. Understandably it was pretty full. The waiter sat us at a booth I've *never* seen used for 4 people because it's too damn small. He asked me if this would be okay and I said 'um, I'm not sure' but he kept walking me there anyway... uh, ok.

We ordered our food and our waitress was ok but kinda distracted and not very friendly. That's ok, she's busy.

Our food came back maybe a half an hour later which is reasonable but honestly, all we had were sandwiches and salads. I ordered the char-boiled chicken sandwich and a side salad. The salad was your typical iceberg lettuce salad - good enough and I enjoyed it. The chicken sandwich was pretty yummy. The chicken was cooked well and the bun was soft.

The real problem was my dad's Caesar salad. It was the most bizarre Caesar I've ever seen. There weren't any croutons, there was barely any cheese and the dressing was NOT Caesar dressing. It looked awful. My dad called the waitress over and she said "yes, that's a Caesar, our dressing isn't like normal Caesar salads, that's why I asked you wanted it to be a SIDE salad." WTF? That's the ONLY thing my dad ordered, don't you think it would be wise to clarify the bizarreness of this salad while someone who clearly didn't know what he was getting when he ordered? She didn't offer any substitution or any solution at all really. She just shrugged, said 'sorry' and walked off. My dad clearly hated his meal. :

Unfortunate experience at an otherwise proven nice restaurant and amazing collection of sports history.
