The Buffalo wings at Toon's have an "exceptional balance of crunch and juiciness," with a pleasing depth and detectable smokiness to the meat." Some of the best in the city.

Burgers are awesome, wings are crispy & delicious, chili is great (soups are homemade), but po' boys are spot on NOLA! Wash it down with a pint from the impressive / unpretentious taps. Get you some!

Order the chili, made with three different types of chilies and Italian sausage. The tortilla chips on the side are fried in house, bless them. Read more

Really good food and drink specials. Try the catfish Po' Boy. Pretty decent Italian beef sandwich for a bar.

They do several NOLA-style Crawfish Boils during the Spring, from Mardi Gras through Memorial Day. Advance tix gets you all the mud puppies you can eat!

I love toons. Great bbq and good beer selections. Cool place to come and grab a beer if you can stomach all the cubs fans. Be sure to check for FourSquare tips. We just got free shots!

Try the onion rings from our 100 Best list: They’re executed with attention to detail—thick-cut rings dipped in beer batter, fried golden and sprinkled with salt. Simple but standout.

This neighborhood bar serves some of the best Buffalo chicken wings in the city.

Nice sports bar / divey atmosphere. Predictable bar food but good for groups - it's huge!

great wings and onion rings - nice beer selection too. Open for lunch!

Yes, the service is terrible. But they have a bloody mary bar on Sundays, which is awesome. And it's a KC bar, so a great place to watch Chiefs games.

Wednesday equals Toons, the classic Southport Corridor bar whose juicy, hand-formed, half-pound, no-frills Toonsburger is only $4 Read more

Wednesdays $4 burgers! Get a side of cajun mayo to dip your fries in. TO DIE FOR! :-)

Aside from a dude sporting Uggs next to me it's a solid bar...free pineapple shot for checking in, too!

Play 1 game shuffle board, 2 games of pool, whistle 3 times and a fluffer comes out of the back

Wings have a little kick, just a little saucy, but still tasty. Fries are pretty good...
