Club 27 Restaurant, located within Sykes/Lady Overland Park Golf Club, has been perfecting the art of relaxed-yet-refined dining since its opening in 2019. Now, thanks to recent wins for Best Outdoor Dining and Best Happy Hour in the 2025 Kansas City Favorites Awards, what was once a local favorite is now officially on the map as a go-to restaurant in Kansas City.
More than just a clubhouse restaurant, Club 27 has become the hangout spot for locals looking for scenic views, rotating seasonal menus, and a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere.
“I think what makes us different is the vibrant atmosphere and the food and drinks we offer,” says Justin Hohl, director of food and beverage. “A country club for the public is how I view it. Whether you’re playing golf, on a date night, celebrating a special occasion or wanting a relaxing experience, Club 27 offers it all. The view of the golf course is spectacular. We also have wonderful people that have helped create a welcoming atmosphere with a sense of community.”
The setting alone is worth the visit. With wall-length garage doors that open wide on nice days, the dining room flows effortlessly into a covered upper patio and a spacious lower patio, together seating over 200 guests. From morning sunrises to golden hour cocktails, the view of the rolling fairways and wide-open skies never disappoints. There’s TVs both inside and out, fire pits, and umbrella-covered tables that make it easy to linger a little longer.
Club 27 was designed to bring a country club vibe to the public, and it does so without any of the formality. There’s a sense of ease here, a come-as-you-are spirit that pairs perfectly with a menu that balances comfort classics with creative, seasonal dishes.
At the center of it all is a food and beverage team that’s passionate about flavor and fun. The menu rotates with the seasons, allowing the chefs and bartenders to experiment and bring new ideas to the table. Right now, guests can expect a little bit of everything—from crowd-pleasers to unexpected favorites.
"We change our menus seasonally to allow our chefs and bartenders to explore new flavors and offer innovative dishes to our customers and patrons throughout the year. Our culinary leaders have an extensive culinary background in all cuisines and create fun and delicious food.”
Kicking things off, the buffalo chicken dip is a must-share starter that brings just the right amount of heat and indulgence. For something rich and irresistible, don’t skip the lobster mac and cheese croquettes, topped with garlic truffle breadcrumbs and a colorful corn succotash. On the lighter side, the shrimp lettuce wraps pack a crispy crunch, served with miso lime slaw and a kung pao dipping sauce that brings a tangy kick.
If you’re in the mood for a hearty handheld, the crispy chicken club sandwich is a fan favorite, stacked high with cheddar, pecan wood smoked bacon, and a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey aioli. Meanwhile, the Maui wowie pizza offers a sweet-and-spicy twist on traditional toppings, featuring black forest ham, jalapeños, and pineapple over a cauliflower crust and finished with mango habanero sauce. For a beautifully plated entrée, the blackened salmon offers a touch of elegance with orzo pilaf, lemon beurre blanc, and fresh arugula.
Of course, with a happy hour that spans most of the week, even Sundays, it’s no surprise Club 27 also excels behind the bar. Signature cocktails like the limoncello basil martini, dragon fruit mojito, and pineapple smoked margarita are just as photo-worthy as they are delicious. Even the mocktail menu is thoughtfully crafted, like the Taylor Made, proving that alcohol-free can still feel celebratory.
With something for everyone, Club 27 has created a rare mix of sophistication and laid-back charm. It’s a place where golfers and foodies, families and date-nighters, and regulars and first-timers can all feel at home. With national recognition already rolling in, there’s never been a better time to see what all the buzz is about.
Club 27 is located at 12501 Quivira Road in Overland Park. For more information, visit golfop.com/club27.
