Family-focused Sunday brunch about to start at spot usually reserved for adults

Brunch is a big deal in Wichita, and so many different types of restaurants now offer it, from upscale dinner places to breweries to breakfast restaurants.

This weekend, a new brunch enters the conversation, and this one includes line dancing.

On Sunday, the new Gilley’s entertainment venue in Park City will put on its first brunch, and it’s designed for families. It will happen Sunday, March 1 — and every Sunday going forward — from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Though Gilley’s, which opened in December at 1500 E. 77th St. North in Park City, does permit kids inside, people under 21 are not usually allowed on the gaming floor or in the dance hall and saloon.

But on Sundays for brunch, children will not only be allowed in the dance hall and saloon but welcomed, said Johanna Pfaff, the sponsorship and events manager for Gilley’s.

The new brunch will include a family-friendly brunch buffet and will have also a face painter, balloon animals and live country music. Brunch customers also will be invited to stay and participate in family line-dancing classes at 2 p.m. and in family karaoke at 3 p.m.

The all-you-can eat brunch buffet will include breakfast favorites like bacon, sausage, pancakes and French toast as well as prime rib and an omelet station. The price will be $27.99 for adults; $24.99 for seniors ages 65 and over; $13.99 for kids ages 6-12; and free for ages 5 and under. All of the activities are included in the price.

This week, up-and-coming country singer Ashley Wineland, who will perform at Gilley’s on Saturday night, will also play at the brunch on Sunday. Live music will be a part of every Sunday brunch, Pfaff said, and will start at around noon. Jason Boyd Band will perform at the March 8 brunch, and The Michael Pearce band will perform on March 16.

Face painting and balloon animals will be a part of the brunch for at least the first three weekends, Pfaff said.

“We’re hoping to continue it or maybe spice it up and add something different,” she said. “You never know.”

Gilley’s will not take reservations for its brunch.

The 250,000-square-foot venue, owned by businessman Phil Ruffin, is on the site of the former Greyhound Park in Park City. It offers pari-mutuel betting, a barbecue restaurant, bars, high-tech arcade games, pickleball, bar bowling, ax throwing, a roller coaster simulator and more.
