Jerry’s Bait Shop

Pretty cool bar when they have live music, but it can get pretty loud and crowded. Great drink prices though, and a lot of fun if you go with a group.

I love this place! Had a friend’s 40^th birthday party there. The live music was great with Art Bentley. A bit loud but super talented! The waitresses are friendly and SO fast! The food though… who knew a little bar could have such great food! We had their «bones», which were like a cheese calzone with dipping sauce. The most delicious little things EVER. Also had the pizza buffet for the group, which was amazing! Will go back again, but will sit further from the speakers!

For whatever reason, this was my first time here. Had an absolute blast. Came to watch my friend play bass. Wednesday night is open jam night. Regulars are extremely friendly, felt right at home. Amazed at how good some singers/​players were. Adorable neighborhood dive bar. Felt like an «adult» dive bar. Drinks were fairly priced. Had their «bones», which are like pizza rolls. Meh. But I don’t go to a dive bar to eat. I’m there for booze and entertainment, and Jerry’s did not disappoint. Will be back for sure.

This is a really unique place in Old Town Lenexa! As cool as Old Town is, admit it… There’s really nothing here. Except for Jerry’s Bait Shop. I love the cool little fish logos and signs everywhere. I’m a fisherman myself so it’s just that much cooler for me! I came in on Taco Tuesday and was surprised to find myself with only a couple other patrons until I was alone after about 20 minutes. I was able to chat with some individuals who were as unique as Jerry’s is…
All their draft beer was not working when I came. I was pretty disappointed. Until I saw they had 4 or 5 different Boulevard beers in bottles. Alright, I can make that work. I ordered five of the tacos. I can tell you that they must have been imported from Taco Bell. I mean I get it, 99 cent tacos, but these were straight out of Taco Hell. I was expecting a little bit more to be honest. After a while the crowd began to gather and it was a little more fun. I’ll definitely come back just for the experience again.

Visiting from Vegas. Had the pizza buffet for 8 bucks. Pizza was good. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Looks like they have good drink specials, will definitely come back for some late night brews.

This place is bad for people of color you can’t get a drink I waited at the bar for over 20 minutes before leaving as I watched other people that were not black get served regularly this place should really be investigated for not serving anything other than white people

Lunch was good. Chicken Philly was juicy and delicious. They have a Thai vinaigrette that was awesome on my salad. Emily was super attentive!

We decided to try something new to us. So far the service is slow. Our server brought us only one menu. Apparently this place has only three menus. It is by no means a large place and it is a bar but, I would think they would have more menus. I decided on nachos for dinner and asked if I could get quest instead of melted cheese. I guess this was confusing and I had to simplify my
this point we ordered wings for an Appetizer that was about 15 minutes ago are still waiting. So the wings finally arrived. Despite ordering then about ten minutes prior to our dinner order they came out with our dinner. As you might have guessed my nachos were made wrong. The nameless server offered to get them made right. I declined as that I did want to be here too long. On a plus side the wings are good. Their ice tea however, is horrid.

Ok so a dive bar is not a place I would typically take a kid but we were enticed by the ad to watch the WSU/​KU game on a Sunday afternoon, pizza buffet and drink specials so we brought our granddaughter to wait for her mom to pick her up. We made a very quick walk through only to find out it was too smoky to stay. The small patio was smoky. The patio door was open making the main area smoky AND there was someone smoking a cigar inside the bar. I’m not a smoker so I wouldn’t have stayed kid or not. It’s just not big enough to separate «the smoking area» from the bar. I’ve heard it’s a fun place, just not for me.

If I could give zero stars I would. The band sounded worse than a high school talent show. It was some sort of open mic/​live karaōke night. We arrived in time for ½ price appetizers and ordered the combo for 6.50 (normally $ 13.99) thinking this was a good deal. However, it came out missing the skins and tenders. When we asked the server, she said those didn’t come on the ½ price special. It wasn’t noted anywhere though and she acted as though it was news to her as well. They did offer to add the items if we paid full price. The walls were in need of a dusting and looked like it had probably not been dusted since the day they opened. The server, Shelly I think, was very nice and apologetic… probably the best thing going for this place.

Just had an excellent dinner at Jerrys. I chose a build a burger, and my dad got the club sandwich. The waitress made a mistake on my order, and instead of bringing me tatet tots, delivered something better! Some sort of cross between a french fry and a potato chip. Delicious! My burger melted in my mouth! I couldnt shovel it in fast enough! Great club sandwich as well. The waitress was appropriately attentive. Passing by our table and regularly asking if we needed anything. Atmosphere was as expected. Small, hometown, a little dirty, and very comfortable. Prices were affordable, food was great.
Could I complain about something? Ok, the table had a bad flop to it, and my iced tea wasnt the best I have ever had… it definitely wasnt the worst though.

This place is a Hidden gem. I’m not sure why it’s always so empty. Tuesday night trivia is fun. Cheap beers and the bartender is amazing. She remembers your drinks and is fast. Foods great bar food. Owner/​manger is always there too

I wanted to like Jerry’s, I really did. I had been there once before long, long ago during the day for food and it had been decent enough. And I really want to support local music venues, but…
Ordered myself a drink. The menu says «UV & Monster $ 3.50». Several signs all over the place say the same thing. It’s been a long day, I could use a pick-​me-​up so I order one at the bar. «Do you want that as a bomb or a drink?» «Drink, please». Get drink, open tab, sit down. First one is a little weak, so when a waitress makes a pass after that one is empty (and it sits empty for quite a while), I ask for a double of it. I figure, worst case scenario, it’ll be 2 of those, so $ 7.00.
Then I get the tab, with 1 at $ 7.50 and one at $ 11.75. WTH? I ask the waitress about it, pointing to the menu I had ordered from. She says something about my having ordered a double, to which I explain I had one single and one double, and that doesn’t explain why one of them was almost 12 bucks. She scampers away with my check to ask the bartender, who comes back out 10 minutes later, tells me that that $ 3.50 price is only for bombs, yeah, sorry the menu isn’t very clear about that, sets my as-​is tab back down, and walks off. Umm, ok.
So, four stars for decent food and hosting music (although it’s an awfully small venue, so you should really like your fellow fans). Zero stars for weak drinks and crappy customer service. You get 2 to average it out. I’ll go see my bands elsewhere, which is a shame since most of the other venues are across the city.

Neat bar in old town Lenexa. Cassie is a good waitress, and the food is good and fairly priced. Free bar poker on Monday nights, plenty of TVs to watch whatever game is on. It can get CHILLY in the winter with the doors opening all the time to the front or to the smoking patio.

Wing and pizza are great. Tater tots were under cooked. A couple more minutes in the fryer would have been better. Our server Melissa was just ok
