“ This has to be the best restaurant in all of Western Kansas. The food was absolutely delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Some of the best fries I have ever had because they are cut to order. The country fried steak was also fantastic. Anytime I am in Western Kansas I will be sure to stop by! ”
“ There burgers are top notch will definitely eat here again there is enough room in the parking lot for your tractor and trailer ”
“ If you ever come across this place, DO NOT DRIVE BY. Make sure you stop in and try everything you can. I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and their made to order hand cut fries, which was perfect in every aspect. The gentleman sitting in front of me was having a perfectly cooked steak. This cozy place was bustling with friendly locals and everyone knew each other. The waitress's daughter was sitting at the bar and she was greeting everyone and saying goodbye to all that was leaving. Before I was about to leave I overheard the owner state that he used to work somewhere where they made pies so I definitely had to order a piece of peanut butter pie to go and I'm glad I did cause that was the best piece of pie I ever had. I definitely tip my hat to everyone there who made that lunch a very unforgettable stop on my travels. And if you do stop in just don't forget to tip their awesome waitress. Thanks ”
“ Truly astounding to find food this good in the middle of nowhere. We only stopped in because it was next to our motel and because they have an outdoor dining area. (road trip with dog) Oh, my! The patty melt and hamburger were unparalleled anywhere. Fresh Kansas beef. Never frozen, the server said. Seared on a grill. Simply the best. The homemade french fries! Stuff of dreams. I also loved the homemade ranch dressing on my salad and pie for dessert. Add a cold beer and you'll never eat better, anywhere. It was so good, we routed our trip to return the same way so we could stop in again. My only regret was not trying the Sunday special instead of a repeat burger. Next time, Winona! ”
“ Excellent service and food home mad potatoes, fries. Hand breaded chicken fried chicken. Yummy. ”
“ I wish I could give this place a way higher rating. This is definitely a little hole in the wall place but it was fantastic. The prices were very reasonable. The food was fantastic. The staff was friendly and they even let me bring my cats inside (they stayed in their carriers, on the floor) I will most definitely be back and I will recommend this place to anyone who travels through. ”
“ This cafe is the BEST place to stop. We drove through 4 towns with food just so we could give this gem a try. Food was deliciously amazing and the chocolate lasagna was out of this world! Will definitely hit them up every time I'm road tripping and try something new! YUM!!! ”
