Bar and grill opens near 74th and State

by William Crum

The new Mason Jar Brews and Burgers, 941 N. 74th Drive in Kansas City, Kan., is truly a winner. I have heard about this restaurant earlier from other people in the community.

What a great experience. When I entered, my server waited on me, and I asked what she likes. One item which she suggested was the steak stack – pastrami, steak and cheese on marble rye bread. This sandwich is so good it melts in your mouth. My server was a Turner graduate who has plans of going into microbiology. She is phenomenal and very knowledgeable, the best I have seen in a long time.

The menu, for starters, has pretzel sticks and brat wedges, just to name a couple. They have different types of wings including honey chipotle, grilled barbecue, and traditional hot wings.

The Mason Jar has some of the best burgers ever made.

One of their specialty items is prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes, which is reasonably priced.

When I went there it was on Friday night, and it was when they started getting busy. I was amazed how clean this place was even when they are busy.

The restaurant was started by Cliff Dale, who is from Kansas City, Kan. Dale wanted to get into the restaurant business. The site, on 74th Drive a little south of State Avenue, was formerly the Sports Page restaurant and bar.

I give the Mason Jar five stars for excellence, for service, cleanness, product quality, and an easy to read and understand menu. This place is great. It’s a place where you can take the whole family. I personally want to thank the management team and my server, who made me feel welcome. Will I be back? You can count on it. Give it a try for yourself.
