I have lived in Lawrence for nearly 10 years and haven’t been here until today and I gotta say West Coast Saloon has the best burgers in Lawrence and in a 50 mile radius. Servers and cook are so kind and the atmosphere is old school and to die for.

Best fried food and burgers at any bar around. Been coming here for over a year now, and now only is it good for pool, but it's good for eats! I recommend the spicy chicken sandwich and the hot wings! Very engaged owner will be coming here for the foreseeable future.

I took my daughter to West Coast on her 21st birthday on June 28th, 2023. Janae, the bartender, was amazing, fast , friendly service, and she was very helpful in trying to find drinks my daughter would like. There were a group of guys there that were good sports and helped to make my daughters night a good one. They bought her a couple of shots and were very sweet and respectful to her. I highly recommend this bar.

I cant believe this is the first time I've been here but I will definitely come back! The fried mushrooms and Mushroom Swiss burger were delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive! Also they have pool tables! The prices on both food and drinks were more than fair. They cleaned the countertop regularly (i watched). I was super happy!

Got the “woo” burger and it was ten outta ten. Always come here and play pool with my lady on weekends and it’s always good vibes. Thanks West Coast
