Atomic Cowboy Goes for Two

Atomic Cowboy, the Denver-based biscuit/pizza-bar restaurant, is opening a new two-in-one restaurant in Overland Park.

• 2-In-1: Atomic Cowboy’s first location in Westport combines two restaurants. In the morning, they daylight as Denver Biscuit Co, serving a wide array of biscuit options sweet and savory. In the afternoons and evenings, they moonlight as Fat Sully’s, a pizza joint serving gargantuan-sized slices.

• Dive In: Starting as a dive bar in Denver, the owners took advantage of their dough-based recipes and turned them into a successful chain, laying roots in KC in 2020.

• Take Your Pick: While the menu is sure to cater to your tastes depending on the time of day, we recommend the Franklin biscuit, a large slice of NY-style ‘za, and the award-winning Lights Out Burger.

The new location will be on the southwest corner of 80th and Metcalf and will be open in November. Until then, you can visit the Westport location every day of the week starting at 7 am and closing at 10 pm on weekdays and 12 and midnight on weekends.
