Brass Onion has a modern look to country chic as this comfort restaurant serves comfort food meets upscale southern flair. I went during restaurant week, so here are my thoughts... The Carmellized Onion Dip with Crostini was alright as I saw more green onion vs carmellized onion and the flavor lacked depth. I added salt, but felt flat. The cup of gumbo was hearty, rich, and a joy to eat between bold flavors, a little spice, and to want a bowl instead. The Iowa double cut pork chop with mashed potato, sautéed mushrooms, and a gouda mornay sauce has highs and suggestions. The pork chop was smoked, seared nicely, and juicy. The potatoes and gouda mornay sauce needed to be elevated with salt and seasoning. The mushrooms sautéed were a great edition when you think of all the components together complimenting each other. The main dish paired beautifully with the Old Fashioned made with rum under barrel aged cocktails because of the cinnamon, black pepper, and cherry notes. I will come back to try some others when looking over the main menu during my dining experience.

The Brass Onion in Overland Park is a standout destination for comfort food with a sophisticated twist. Our experience was fabulous from start to finish, and it’s clear this restaurant has found its rhythm when it comes to quality, flavor, and warm hospitality. For entrées, we ordered Mr. B’s Fried Chicken and the Shrimp and Grits, and both were exceptional. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection—comforting and nostalgic while still elevated. The shrimp and grits were rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, offering a classic Southern dish with just the right balance of boldness and finesse. To finish the meal, we shared the Chocolate Pecan Pie, which was everything a dessert lover could hope for—decadent, gooey, and layered with flavor from the buttery crust to the nutty, chocolatey filling. Service was attentive and genuine throughout, adding to the welcoming and well-paced dining experience. The ambiance was relaxed yet polished, perfect for anything from a date night to a family celebration. We’re already looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. The Brass Onion is a standout spot in the Overland Park dining scene—and one that absolutely deserves repeat visits.

Nicole was our server. She was delightful and very attentive. The drinks were made well and strong. I had the onion burger no bun plus bacon and cheese. The creamed brussel sprouts were very good. For dessert I tried the chocolate martini. It was a little too sweet for my taste but very yummy We will come here again
