About This Place

Located in the heart of Warrensburg, MO, PLAYERS Restaurant offers an inviting blend of American comfort food with distinctive Greek and Italian influences, making it a truly unique dining destination. Positioned at 627 E Russell Ave, this establishment effortlessly combines a vibrant bar scene with a warm, approachable dining atmosphere that appeals to locals and travelers alike.

From the moment you step inside, PLAYERS challenges the typical expectations of a small-town eatery. The menu is a rich tapestry of flavors, carefully curated to satisfy diverse palates. Whether you’re craving a perfectly grilled steak or yearning to indulge in authentic Saganaki — a delectably warmed cheese spread served with pita, tzatziki, and lemon — each dish is crafted with attention to detail and freshness.

Seafood lovers can delight in selections like the Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo, where tender shrimp entwine with creamy pasta, or savor the crispy yet flaky Fried Catfish. The Steak & Shrimp duo offers an indulgent pairing for those seeking surf and turf perfection. For a lighter touch, the variety of salads, including the Greek Salad and Players Special Salad, bring crisp, refreshing flavors that balance the heartier entrees.

Dishes such as the Smothered Chicken—covered with grilled onions, peppers, and mushrooms—offer a savory comfort that’s deeply satisfying, complemented by side options like the Fried Potato Salad, whose addictive texture and seasoning will have you savoring each bite as much as in Charles Keller’s glowing review. Pasta fans will appreciate options like Chicken Alfredo or Lasagna, each dish boasting rich sauces and perfectly cooked noodles.

The bar program here is equally impressive. With an extensive drink menu featuring classics like the Long Island Iced Tea, PLAYERS invites patrons to unwind and enjoy a well-crafted cocktail alongside their meal or in the lively lounge area. Multiple customers have noted the attentive service and approachable staff, emphasizing the genuine hospitality that enhances the overall experience.

    I misjudged this place before eating here. I assumed it would be some run-of-the-mill sports bar, in a small town just off the highway, maybe a burger and fries but nothing extraordinary. I was WRONG. Players' menu is impressive, with authentic Greek and Italian dishes and lots of drinks options. I've tried several of the unique apps and entrees and have never been disappointed. My husband is a burger fiend and says their gouda & mushroom special was amazing. We even chose to visit Players for our anniversary dinner this year! Pic is of the salmon crostini app, which they pair with a dill sauce - yummmmmmm. You'll see prices a bit higher than a sports bar and grill, but, you get what you pay for. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable too. Recommend this place to anyone, whether in town or just passing through.

    We were traveling through on the highway and found Players and decided to try it out. Upon arriving, the 2 young ladies asked if we wanted the dining room or the lounge. We opted for the dining room since we thought it may be quieter. The girls looked like we spoke in Chinese, very confused. They said the lounge was pretty empty. We wanted the dining room and finally got it. We were greeted by our waitress who brought us water. The water was VERY nasty. When we both wanted a Coke instead we explained it was because the water tasted bad. The waitress told us it was just Warrensburg water. We ordered our food and it was good for the most part. We had the chicken plate with salad and mashed potatoes and gravy and a gyro dinner. I opted for the fried potato salad as my side. The mashed potatoes had a good flavor, but they looked like they had sat and not been stirred before being dipped out. The chicken was PERFECT! Very crispy and moist, just as you want it. Oh yeah.... It's a whole half chicken. The fried potato salad had a weird color and just didn't taste good. The potatoes were soggy, not fried crispy with a crust. The gyro was good and there was plenty of food. Very good portions! I took off a star for the waitress bringing me a to-go tea, twice, that was very watered down and not as good as the first tea I had. She also forgot our Coke for a while and I had to remind her.

    This place is great, we started with the Saganaki, which is a warmed cheese spread with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and lemon. Very delicious. Next, I had the smothered chicken that was covered with grilled onions, peppers, and mushrooms. My side was the fried potato salad, and let me tell you, I could eat a bucket full, amazing! My son ordered the Sicilian sandwich that has hard salami, ham,pepperoni, and red onions on ciabatta bread, very good. We managed to make room for dessert,which we opted for the warm fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream, yum. As for our service, our server was Ashley H. She was wonderful. Always checking on us and was very helpful with the menu since it was our first time there. Great experience!!

    I went to visit my Granddaughter and took her to lunch. I was unfamiliar with the city in which she was living. I didn’t want fast food and was looking for something where we could get some good food and catch up as we ate! Players is the place to go in Warrensburg to have some great food in a comfortable environment. Our server was very attentive and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. The food was fantastic! I will eat there again.

    We were suggested this by our hotel front desk clerk. We were seated immediately and were quite surprised by the Greek options. Our waiter did an excellent job and made helpful suggestions. He was also very attentive throughout the meal. My wife had the grilled chicken salad and she raved about the seasoning on the chicken. I ordered the Slouvaki dinner and it was excellent.
