    I both stayed at the hotel and ate dinner at the restaurant. In my opinion, the hotel experience is…read moretwo stars. The restaurant experience is four stars. Add them together and split the difference: three stars. The plusses about the hotel are that it looks cute and has themed rooms. The lobby is very cozy, with comfy couches and a little bar off to the side in a corner. (Fun fact: The bar at Grand Central Hotel was the first operating bar in this town!) It's a pet-friendly hotel. You also get warm muffins and coffee at breakfast time. The minuses about the hotel: Someone had used the restroom in the bathroom in my room and didn't flush. When I tried to flush, it wouldn't. So I asked for a new room, of course. In my new room, the TV didn't work (which was no big deal because I don't watch TV anyway) and the door wouldn't lock. So I went downstairs and talked to the person in charge, and she muttered something like, "Kids these days don't know how to get into a hotel room without a key card." I was like, um? I don't know how young or stupid you think I am, but I'm not too young or stupid to know how to operate a lock. (Also: Thanks for thinking I'm young!) It turns out that you need to jerry-rig the knob to lock it. If you need to finesse a lock in order for it to work, it sounds like you need to replace the lock, or come up with a different system. However, later that night, I had the pleasure of eating at the hotel restaurant. The Grand Central Grill is definitely the place to eat in the area. I got the chicken fried steak, which is a Kansas specialty and served here Friday and Saturday nights only. It came with mounds of mashed potatoes and gravy, and it was one of the best dishes I had in south central Kansas. The Caesar salad was just OK (the dressing came poured on the top and not mixed, which it should be), but the chicken fried steak made up for that. They have a decent wine list for a small town, which was appreciated by me. The service was great, and even though they were busy, our server was very attentive and we got everything we needed.

    I had the pork loin and a baked potato. I don't know if I have ever had a better restaurant dinner…read more It tasted like home

    This is a hidden hole in the wall gem!…read more Today was my second experience at the Four seasons Asian restaurant and it never disappoints. Four of us shared the Beef, Chicken, and Pork Bulgogi which was way more than enough food. The beef is the superior choice as the flavor is unmatched. But the pork and chicken were also delicious. Its comes with your own bowl of white rice and a platter filled with different types of kimchi and pickled veggies. We also shared an order of potstickers that were excellent as well. As your stomach protests you will never want to put the fork down as it is all incredible. Now I will say if you are in a hurry this is not the place for you. It is run by an elderly Korean couple and they are not quick but they know what they are doing so be patient and just enjoy the experience. There is a Korean market attached and both times we left with 2 jars of the cucumber Kimchi and the regular kimchi. So so so good! I highly recommend this place!

    I was in Junction City for a short time and during my visit I found this amazing hidden gem on this…read moredesolated town. There are a few things to consider before visiting Four Seasons, being one of them that the owner, its a very sweet elder lady and also happens to be your only server and the cook for the entire business. So when visiting make sure that you go with plenty of time. The restaurant is not terribly busy all the time but on my two visits wait time was around 30-40 minutes before she brings me the food I ordered. That brings me to the next point: the food is AMAZING. I have visited Korea in the past and I can vouch that her homemade recipes are cooked with lots of love and tradition. Make sure not to take a long time thinking what to order, as I can promise that every plate she cooks is true to the Korean cuisine. The local is big and it has a very "homeish" style. It's very quite and location is somewhat discreet. Again, keep in mind that the entire business is ran by this elder lady and her husband. If you like'd to try my favorites from the menu, make sure to order the seasoned beef (bulgogi) and the spicy rice cake (I promise is not that spicy). I was incredibly satisfied and I give it a 9.2/10. The only thing they need to improve is to maybe hire somebody to help serving but obviously you can tell is a very small business and that is hard to be expected. I wish her well and that her business prosper more.

    Fantastic. Reviews were legit so we popped in after passing all the downtown places…read more We had a pretzel with cheese sauce, combo, grilled cheeses, tomato soup, pasta salad, chips pickles, monte cristo, etc. All enjoyed our meals and thought it was a reasonable price.

    This is an interesting spot in Topeka. I'm not that familiar with Topeka but there's not a whole…read morelot there except the capitol of Kansas. Searching out food gets interesting. The one question I have is why is it called The Wheel Barrel? I know a wheelbarrow, a wheel of cheese, a wine barrel, but I haven't figured out the name yet. If I make it back, maybe I can ask. The Wheel Barrel serves grill cheese/sandwiches and soup. I appreciate the concept and in this situation keeping it rather simple yet with some good selection for sandwiches and soup. I got a special wild rice and chicken soup with a half Baja turkey sandwich. It's a half and half for $12. I thought both tasted very good. I didn't eat quite all of it but I'd say it is a normal meal. Not a huge serving. I think most people would eat this in one meal. I think if I'm back in Topeka, I'll have to go back and do the traditional grilled cheese and tomato bisque! It was a busy lunch time meal. A nice size crowd was there. Service was still pretty quick. They have a rustic decor which is sort of like a wheelbarrow and a barrel. It's on a block that seems to be trying to add some art and culture to Topeka and I appreciate that a lot! If I'm back over that way, I'll stop back in and if definitely recommend it in Topeka.
