Edge of Town Cafe

f you show up at Edge of Town (ET's as the regulars call it) around happy hour you will find the bar lined with folks who all know each other's names.  If you show up around that Happy Hour more than two or three times, everyone will know yours as well - especially the bartenders and wait staff.  

FOOD
But, ET's is much more than a bar.  It's a great restaurant as well.  Offering nightly specials such as prime rib (quite frankly the best I've had in KC) and crab legs and various chefs' specials, salads and steaks, it is not all typical "bar food."  However, for those who need to nosh on grease and cheese while partaking in adult beverages, no worries, they have all the fried goodies too. From mushrooms and wings to mozzarella sticks and cheese fries, they've got you covered. On the menu you will also find juicy burgers, Philly cheese steaks as well as loaded nachos (served with homemade salsa that's top notch) and my personal favorite, the prime rib sandwich - just to name a few. And, if Tacos are your thing, Thursday night is 85 cent Taco Night and the tacos are "freakin' delicious." No matter what, you will always find something that's a step above and the prices are definitely fair.

DRINK
It is a bar so let's talk drinks!  The drink menu is endless and seasonal beers are always available. The bartenders are knowledgeable and will shake and mix just about anything you want.  If you order it more than once, they are not likely to forget.  If shots are your thing, late in the evening a friendly shot girl is likely to be on the prowl. ET's is notorious for keeping the same core staff for years and years and they take much pride in what they do.  

FUN
Entertainment for everyone; Karaoke and live bands will entertain you while you spin around the dance floor. Or if you're in to games ET's has free Texas Hold 'em most nights, Golden T, pool tables and with the knew remodel and expansion I won't even guess how many state of the art dart boards line the walls. Also, the restrooms and back bar area are chalkboards and chalk is available for your writing pleasure! If you're like me, you can enjoy people watching and good music from any seat in the house.  Country, Rock, Pop and more . . .  you never know what you'll hear (but the juke box has anything you want) or who you'll see.  ET's has a very diverse customer base which gives it part of his charm.

EDGE EXTRAS
A few final things: ET's has proven to be a great place for large groups.  They have large group seating and take reservations for parties.  The walls are lined with TV's so you won't miss your favorite game here.  In my experience, if they're not showing what you want - just ask! Out of respect for those who prefer a smoke-free environment, ET's is not.  In Blue Springs, some establishments are still permitted to allow smoking and ET's is one of them.  Having said that, if you are a smoker I suppose it's a bonus.

In the case you are wondering, I don't work for, nor am I related to, anyone at the Edge of Town - I'm just another satisfied patron and resident of Blue Springs and I'm always a sucker for seeing locally owned businesses flourish.  Photos coming soon.

This place is the sh*t great nightly specials and awesome tacos on Thursdays for $0.85 and some of the best prime rib in blue springs. Some of the best bartenders I have ever had Abby and Ozzie, david, james, jesse, Kelly during the day and sandy  on Saturdays  and some great waitresses crystal, keller, katelyn, ashley just a friendly
staff all around

Kareoke on Tuesday's Fridays and Saturday's.  

I just say you know it's a fun bar when the staff always hangs out when there not working

I'm sooooooooo very glad we found this place! Great prices, fun people and fantastic food! The bartenders are VERY generous with the alcohol. If you don't like your drinks strong, order a beer.

The food. Wow. Never had a bad meal yet. My favorite: prime rib open faced sandwich. Ok- so not really a sandwich, but a GIANT piece of perfectly seasoned prime rib on a slice of texas toast with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy for $9.95! You have to see (and eat) it to believe it.

Lots of tvs, We never miss a game we want to watch. Darts, darts and more darts, pool and free poker tourneys Sunday through Thursday (call for times). We're not karaoke people, but they have that too.

Check it out!
See you there.
