What User doesn't like about Grinders:
If you think Grinders is anything in the same world as NYC pizza, you're a farm raised, redneck, small town KC unknowledgeable wanna be. KC first of all is a basic little midwest town so, all y'all little small town little wannabes who come from KU, MU, KSU, etc thinking you're some big city now, y'all need a dose of reality. KC is nothing, period. Ya'll got a good NFL team but, that's it. And, this Grinders is a per... View all feedback. What User likes about Grinders:

Only 2 stars, because they automatically add gratuity and won’t split a check with more than six people.

Ordered the large LeHog pizza. The pizza is flavorful but for the price it is mostly crust and cheese, barely any toppings like the supreme has. Ordered crinkle...

Grinders is a unique spot with a mix of reviews. While some feel the pizza is a total disappointment compared to NYC standards, others praise the diverse menu options and fun atmosphere. The service has been hit or miss, with some guests feeling ignored while others had a positive experience. The thin crust pizza and Philly cheese steak have received high marks, along with house margaritas. The dive bar vibe, unique hot sauce, and selection of canned adult beverages add to the appeal. While there are mixed opinions, Grinders remains a popular spot in KC worth checking out.
