Talk of the Town Grill & Bar

Talk of the Town Grill & Bar is a Johnson County neighborhood sports bar and American grill with two locations — Leawood (5201 W 135th St) and Overland Park (11922 W 119th St). Both run a full bar until 2am daily with a late kitchen (Leawood to 1am, Overland Park to midnight), filling the suburban late-night food gap with burgers, sandwiches, and made-in-house pub fare.¹²

Description

Talk of the Town Grill & Bar bills itself as a “neighborhood sports bar” with a family-friendly atmosphere “supporting an equally satisfying environment for people of all ages & interests.”¹ The menu is a broad American casual spread — burgers, sandwiches, paninis, pizza, salads, and main meals — with an emphasis on house preparation: the kitchen makes items in-house and uses fresh, never-frozen meats, with handmade cheese sticks and made-to-order mac & cheese among the called-out items.²³

The operationally distinctive feature is hours. Both locations keep a full bar running to 2am every day, and unlike most Johnson County restaurants the kitchen stays open late — to 1am at Leawood and midnight at Overland Park — putting it among the limited set of suburban late-night food options south of the state line.¹²

Ownership and history

Talk of the Town operates as a small local two-unit group in Johnson County. Business listings identify Toni Manolov as CEO, and a separate LinkedIn profile lists Janez Lomshek as an owner; full ownership structure is not confirmed from a primary source.⁴

The Leawood location is described in restaurant-listing copy as having “the down-home feel that has made it endearing to those in Leawood, Kansas since 1988,” which would place its origin in the late 1980s; this 1988 date appears in third-party listing descriptions rather than on the operator’s own site and should be treated as unconfirmed.⁵
