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

Locations

Location	Address	Phone	Hours	Kitchen
Leawood (primary)	5201 W 135th St, Leawood, KS 66224	913-851-7444	11am–2am daily (10am for major sporting events); Sunday brunch	Kitchen open until 1am daily
Overland Park	11922 W 119th St, Overland Park, KS 66213	913-661-9922	11am–2am daily (10am for major sporting events)	Kitchen open until midnight

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

Both current location menu PDFs print “LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1987.”⁵⁶ OpenTable listing copy instead describes “the down-home feel that has made it endearing to those in Leawood, Kansas since 1988.”⁷ The operator PDFs are the first-party date; the 1988 figure is third-party listing copy. Founding narrative (who opened it, and which year the Leawood room actually started) is still unconfirmed.

Leawood PDF is primary. Overland Park is a sibling board, not a merged menu — material OP deltas are listed after the Leawood itemization. Both PDFs print the same late-night kitchen line already on this page (Leawood kitchen until 1am; OP until midnight; bar until 2am). PDF metadata: Adobe Illustrator, created 2024-10-09, modified 2024-10-21. Descriptions below are copied from the PDFs; items the PDFs print as name + price only stay that way. June 2026 Uber Eats Leawood dollars and aggregator listing dollars are retired and discarded.⁸⁹⁵⁶

Overland Park — material deltas

Do not treat the two boards as identical. OP PDF kitchen line is midnight, not 1am. Item differences versus Leawood:⁶

• No Hummus & Pita. OP instead prints Fried Mushrooms — Boulevard wheat beer-battered mushrooms, served with ranch dressing ($10).
• Onion Rings ($8; half $4) in place of Leawood Onion Straws ($8; half $5).
• Soups are cup $4 / bowl $6 Baked Potato and Southwest Chicken only — no Roasted Red Pepper & Smoked Gouda.
• No deep-dish pizza section. 16-inch pizzas match Leawood names and prices.
• No Leawood Steak Salad. Other greens match Leawood names and prices.
• No Augusta Burger and no Beyond Burger. Remaining burgers match Leawood names and prices. Diablo Loco on OP is “a side of Prairie Fire sauce” rather than a choice of Prairie Fire or Atomic.
• Classic Street Tacos — three tacos beef, chicken, or Al Pastor, with onions and cilantro, served with Spanish rice and refried beans ($12). Not on the Leawood PDF.
• KC Strip* $23 (Leawood $24). The Overlander $13 (Leawood $14). French Dip $14, “au jus on the side” (Leawood $15).
• Spinach Artichoke Dip ($11) prints only “served with tortilla chips or pita bread” — no tomato/Parmesan topping line.
• Soft drinks are Pepsi products (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Starry, Mug Root Beer, Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew, Tropicana Lemonade) at $3.
