kansascrossingcasino.com/dining-drinks/two-brothers/

Kansas Crossing Casino’s Two Brothers Mining Company restaurant boasts an impressive lineup of burgers, including the White Cheddar and BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers. All burgers are two- 4 oz patties of premium Midwest brisket and served on brioche buns with a side of french fries. Two Brothers Mining Co. is the perfect spot to eat while enjoying the casino’s 625 slots or the night’s live entertainment.

When post-Prohibition miners looked to let off a little steam, they turned to the Collier brothers. As lifelong miners, the brothers opened a tavern to cater to their buddies after a hard day in the pits. It was gritty. It was loud. It was full of good music and laughter and great food. They were third generation miners, but as it turns out mining wasn’t all they knew — food and fun was in their blood.

Two Brothers Mining Company is a great place to take a break and enjoy amazing food & drinks with friends, family, or complete strangers. Our full menu includes staples of the Collier brothers’ era, as well as many of today’s favorites.
