As per the norm, as soon as we got there it got really busy. Also, as usual food was fantastic. The wait staff is always so friendly & patient with all of my indecisions & the hubs picky eating. Kinda sad they took down all the signs about doing good, kindness, & gratitude. But still lots to look at. Living myself for not grabbing g another T-shirt. Next time. Very clean place to eat...the patio is beautiful. read more

Oooh we! That peanut butter milkshake!!!! We found Do-B's on Google Maps while on a long drive across Kansas and it did not disappoint! All burgers and beef, like the patty melt, are locally sourced from the Kansas Flint Hills region. The burger was nicely cooked and served up with French fries that were delicious! Overall, this cute little joint was a fun diversion from our long drive, filled us up with some great food and gave us a little taste of the town! Thanks Do-B's read more

A true hidden gem in Kansas. The menu brings a vintage Route 66 vibe with a classic Kansas twist that makes the whole experience feel nostalgic in the best way. Everything is made fresh to order, so don't expect a quick in-and-out meal unless you call ahead. The wait is part of the process, and honestly, it shows in the quality. If you are vegan or vegetarian, there are a few things to be aware of. The menu can be a bit misleading. The grill top and utensils are shared with meat, and all fried food is cooked in beef tallow. That means fried items are not vegan or vegetarian. If cross contamination is a concern, I recommend letting the staff know so they can change gloves and sticking with options like a salad without meat toppings. The staff was extremely friendly and happy to answer questions, which made navigating the menu much easier. I didn't notice a microwave, and it was pretty busy during my visit, but it might be worth asking if the black bean or vegan patty can be prepared separately. There are gluten free and keto options on the menu. Others in my group really enjoyed their meals, and my salad was fresh presented well. I would definitely come back. I just wish there were more clearly food prepseparated options for vegetarian and vegan dishes so more people could fully enjoy what they offer. OH and if you dare, there is a food challenge with their habanero sauce! read more

Best burger place!!! Sweet potato fries are amazing. It's definitely little hole in the wall. Vibes are good and everytime we have an issue they are able to help us out. read more

We stopped at Do-B's on our way to Prairie National Reserve and it lived up to my expectations. It's on a quiet street in Emporia and has a lot of food choices, from fish to wraps to burgers etc. It's also one of the highest rated restaurants in the area and I can definitely see why. The place gave me a fast casual eatery vibe but also a little feel of grandma's house because of this small glass showcase they had with some items in it. All food items are priced decently. I got the blackened fish with rice and fries and my husband got the Hornet Burger with fries. Both dishes were really good. The fish was cooked just right, moist and seasoned really well. The burger was also done perfectly with a juicy tasty patty. Fries were fresh and crispy...cherry on top!! Service was quick and the staff was very sweet. The restaurant was also very clean. They even have some of their own sauces and salsas for sale, plus some grab-and-go options which is nice and convenient especially for college students. Note - they also have a Do-B's reaper burger challenge which sounds fascinating. However, I don't ever think i will be able to try it ever Haha. To conclude - 5/5 for me. read more

I have to say I travel often and my go-to or hamburgers. I consider myself a connoisseur of hamburgers. Do-B's has one of the best hamburgers I have ever eaten. I can highly recommend this place if you were in the area. I love the small style restaurants. They're french fries were all so some of the best I've ever eaten. Also don't sleep on there milkshakes. Do not hesitate to pull in off of the interstate if you're traveling through Emporia Kansas drop in and get a great burger read more

So yummy and definitely worth stopping for every time we have been there it's a wait but so worth it

Great place. Gluten free options too. 3 different meals all good . I would recommend a stop.

Shrimp Po boy was amazing! Foods here are made with proper ingredients. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

I ordered the burnt tip cheesesteak sandwich, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. The fries were also perfectly cooked, and they had an overwhelming amount of dipping sauce flavors to choose from. At first glance at the menu, I thought the 8-inch sub lengths and the pricing would mean a bad value, but nothing could be further from the truth. This place is operated by someone who clearly cares about making a good sandwich for a fair price. i'm not surprised about the yelp reviews and the overall rating. Perfect amount of food at a perfect price in a clean establishment with friendly staff. What else can you ask for? I have no regrets about detouring my road trip to eat here! read more

Yum. Got the Reuben Philly and fries, very good. Also purchased a yummy Carmel nut brownie and chocolate chip cookie..very good. The people running this place are super nice and friendly Can't go wrong going here read more

Great food. KANSAS beef! Stopped here for lunch. Had kid's meal sliders, real fries and best cheese curds ever! Local flavor spot. Popular with college kids, locals and disc golf visitors like us. Couldn't resist the cool t-shirt in lavender color for my travel collection. Nothing but love for simple fresh, not frozen fast food done WAY right. read more

Amazing food. Gluten free bun & desserts. Peach & pineapple flavored milkshakes. Fries crispy but not burnt. Staff was super friendly. Recommend stopping for local flavors read more

Food and environment were good. We drove an hour to do their well known and advertised "reaper burger challenge". We were told that they were too busy to make the reaper burgers ‍ We would eat here again, but were disappointed. read more

The food was okay, nothing special, cost a fortune , I don't appreciate paying nearly $15 for hamburger and fries, even if it's a special hamburger. We went in, a group of 12 of us and I had to wait standing 50 minutes to order and wait for my food. It wasn't worth it. They slammed down about ten buns at once to fix together, took even longer and they were hardly warm. Never again. Nothing special.x read more

To start, while ordering we had to repeat ourself many many times, if you can't hear you should turn down any of the issues that could cause you not to be able to hear and ask the customers more then 4 times to repeat them self, then Bacon Cheese burger is not what it is, it's a philly burger, NO AMERICAN CHEESE, as the menu stated, didn't even get pickles on it, i brought it and they complained and talked about us in the back, simply ordered a double bacon cheeseburger thinking it was going to be what the menu said which it wasn't, they remade it and yet again not any better and didn't have no american cheese or anything that the menu said.. also the bacon??? its bacon bits. Just thought we'd give a place a try while traveling, If spending 100$ i feel i'd get what the menu stated had on it and what it was. read more

A must stop destination when in the area! The Creole Gouda burger is phenomenal and the cheese curds are out of this world! Always great service, consistently delicious food, and a fun little diner-ish feel. Definitely worth the detour off the interstate. read more

Super burgers. But when purchasing a loaded one the salt tends to pile up and be a little overwhelming.

I met family in Empora at Do-B's based off of Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! This is a solid old school diner and literally everything on the menu is good. From milkshakes to po-boys, you will love your meal here. I knocked it down one star for two reasons: it's a small place so seating is at a premium! I didn't notice this from other reviews so if you have a big group, this probably isn't the place for you, or you may want to consider carry out. Also, the restrooms are on the exterior of the building. Granted, they are clean, but with a toddler and dodging freezing rain the day we visited, it was a massive drag to have to ask for a key and then trudge outside, dodging cold rain to use the restroom. To make matters worse someone on the stairwell above us poured a TON of dirty water right in front of where you wait and we nearly got drenched. So, that literally put a damper on the experience (pun intended!). At any rate, I'd 100% return the food is incredible, the people nice, and the ambiance is clean and nostalgic. read more

I don't get the whole "stoner" theme here- is it an attempt to appeal to disc golfers? Anyhow, been here a few times and the sandwiches have always been top notch. No table service if that;'s what you are looking for. Can be very busy though so best to call ahead or order online. read more

This place is crazy busy so I recommend you call your order in. The staff was very helpful as this was my first time there. The place was a barn house style which was cute and had a drive thru and patio. So the fried pickles were so hard/dry that I only ate one piece. The wings were just ok and I had 2 hair in the box. BUT THAT BURGER AND FRIES, listen 10/10 I would get 2 again. I just get the smaller patty but it's was on point, Better then five guys! Also kinda on the expensive side for a burger but worth it! read more

We ordered the shrimp, poor boy, small with fries, and the Italian sausage small with fries. Both sandwiches were outstanding to sandwiches to fries. Two drinks came to right at $32. Sandwiches were both very good fries were good and hot. They do seem to cook more batch style so depending upon when you get your order in it may take a little longer, but it is definitely worth the wait next time we're in Emporia. We will probably stop by and do it again. I do want to try their big burger though cause it is huge and looks absolutely delicious. Don't forget to do an Italian soda while you're there. I've heard they're very good. read more

The food was good. We ordered wings, cheesesteak, and a burger, all with fries. My son loved the wings. The cheesesteak was okay but the meat felt mushy. The Luau burger was a nice change from the norm. They have a cute patio out back which was nice with a toddler. The wait time was excessive though, nearly 40 minutes to get our food on a Wednesday night. I'd like to go back but won't if the wait is always like that. read more

Have been there twice now, once for supper and another time for their live music on Friday. Food when I ate in was great! I bet they've got the best fries in town. The bar staff on Friday were extremely friendly and gave us a side of fries on the house! Can't wait to go back read more

Don't let its sophomoric name fool you, Do-B's is a legit place, and if you decide to dine in, please bring your appetite with you. It's an old school diner influenced place. The menu includes a few burgers, cheese steaks (some are loose interpretations,) po boys, wings and other assorted sandwiches and sides. There's a small space on the menu for a group of salads if you're trying to eat healthy. They might be your only option. I went with The Hornet, which is two 6 oz burgers topped with jalapenos, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon and four slices of cheese. Perfectly cooked, super tasty and filling. Simply amazing. I highly recommend. The restaurant itself is a bit difficult to navigate at first, but is perfectly acceptable when you get the hang of things. You place your order at the front register and get a number. It's a bit confusing because there isn't really a place for a line, so everybody kind of congregates together. The dining room fills up quickly, however, even though there's a wait, the room turns over fairly well, so a table should open up in time for you to receive your food. Outside seating is available surrounding and behind the restaurant, if you're interested. A random note, the owners are disc golf fans. From time to time, usually a couple of times a day, they will go in the parking lot and let their diners attempt to make a "putt". A "putt" is when you throw a disc toward a chain hole constructed across the lot. If any diner makes the putt, he or she will receive a discounted or free meal. read more

This is a small hole in the wall place- set up like a fast food chain. But boy the food and service were good. We had two salads at lunch time - hot Caesar salad and the chicken salad with their special sauce. Oh my was it good. I know they have a few locations- but if they get one In Minneapolis- I'm there! read more

I'm the weird one who always gets a salad at the burger joint... but seriously, the salads are no joke!! My absolute favorite is the buffalo chicken salad. I always ask to go light on the chicken wing sauce (a tad spicy) and the chunky blue cheese (it's good but I can only take so much chunk!). I could eat this on a weekly basis. French fries are really good. It may the Pittsburgh in me but I love to throw a few on my salad. :) You can thank Primanti bros for that idea. read more

Bathrooms around back and need a key like in a gas station. Only Real con to the place. Food was delicious. Creative burgers with excellent flavor profiles. Beef fat fries in general taste a little stale; but that's just the trade off for the beef flavor. Red Cream Soda on tap. Loved it. Clean Tables, but a little cramped together. People were very friendly. I got the impression that they were training a new cook during our visit. They cooked one order at a time. Didn't take too long though. Would skip the cheese cake. Very expensive for a very basic piece of cheese cake. Honestly, Walmart cheese cake is better. It was frozen when we got it, ate it a couple hours later. Just okay. Atmosphere was small town quaint. Almost antique shop feel. Farm Fresh eggs for sale in the cooler. Lots of Christmas décor, as we went just a little before Christmas. read more

People were sweet, everything was nice. But the food just didn't taste that great. It looked good but the burgers were meh, the seasoned fries had no flavor, the hot wings had no flavor. The honey did not taste like real honey (I'm a bee keeper). The soda machine was down. But the service was wonderful. Everyone was really nice. The desserts were really good though! Milk shakes were great. Bathrooms were locked, which was pretty inconvenient during the dinner hour. Fun atmosphere. read more

For what looks like an unassuming establishment from the outside, turns out to be a delicious, tasty food joint inside. Don't let the looks deceive you. The food inside is amazing, the burgers will make your tastebuds salivate and the portion sizes are very substantial. Coming here for a disc golf tournament made the experiment even wonderful knowing that you can take a shot at a 60ft putt at the basket outside to have your meal get paid for! With the Kansas wind, that's no easy task. :) I will say that when considering your hunger, the half-portions are fairly small so go full size portions for the philly cheesesteaks. read more

Heard this was THE place in town for burgers and I have to say it is probably not the place in town for veggie burgers at least not for me. I will say that I am very picky about the texture of my veggie burgers and this burger was a little too mushy for my personal preference. The flavor of the veggie burger was good it was just the texture that was off for me personally. Burgers come with fries and the service was good. They do pick up in the evenings so if you're planning on eating here you might want to try to get here earlier in the afternoon. I would definitely try this again and might have to get a beef burger so I can really have the do-bees experience. read more
