BRGR Kitchen & Bar opens in Prairie Village

The patties are on the grill and a new “modern burger joint” is now open in Prairie Village.

BRGR Kitchen & Bar (4038 West 83rd Street) had its grand opening Wednesday in the Corinth Square Shopping Center.

“We’re really excited about bringing a place that provides fresh and unique culinary creations that won’t empty your wallet to Prairie Village and Kansas City,” says co-owner Alan Gaylin.

He launched the restaurant with childhood friend Glynn Roberts and Roberts’ wife, Jean. Gaylin has extensive restaurant experience, having served as a senior VP of operations at Kansas City-based Houlihan’s. His and Roberts’ vision was for BRGR to be a modern take on American classics. 
The dining room is a sleek mix of concrete floors, red-brick walls, metal fixtures and tables made out of wood reclaimed from farmhouses. It seats 85 people, with additional seating for 40 people at the bar and on the patio.
