This week, side dishes finally get some time in the spotlight. We asked Post readers for their favorite sides at Johnson County restaurants, and they delivered.

From greens to grits, here’s where to find the best side dishes in Johnson County, according to Post readers.

Nick and Jake’s (Multiple locations)

Nick and Jake’s, known for its “real food and honest drink”, offers a range of sides to go with its burgers and sandwiches.

Readers specifically recommended the jalapeño cheddar grits. Post reader Ron Huston said, “there is nothing better.”

Other side options at Nick and Jake’s include sauteéd spinach, mashed potatoes and buttered corn. The restaurant is also known among Post readers for its appetizers.

Nick and Jake’s has two locations in Johnson County: one in south Overland Park and one in Shawnee. They operate at 6830 W. 135th St. and 22220 Midland Drive, respectively.

BRGR Kitchen + Bar (Prairie Village)

As the name implies, BRGR is primarily known for its burgers, but the menu also features other items like chicken sandwiches, salads and mac and cheese.

Jack Stack Barbecue (Multiple locations)

Another barbecue favorite among Johnson Countians, Kansas City-based Jack Stack Barbecue expanded into Johnson County more than 20 years ago — with its newest Johnson County location opening in Lenexa last year.

Sides on the Jack Stack menu include French fries, baked beans and cheesy corn bake. Readers specifically mentioned the creamy coleslaw, which according to one Post reader, is “served chilled and consistently delicious.”

In addition to its restaurants in Overland Park and Leawood restaurants, it’s also known by its food truck that often shows up at Johnson County events.

Burg and Barrel’s menu offers a variety of sides, from cajun fries and tater tots to asparagus. Readers specifically recommended the Burg and Barrel onion rings.

The Burg & Barrel has two locations: one at Overland Park’s 75th and Metcalf Shopping Center, and another one further south at 151st and Nall in Leawood.
