I had to go to Emporia to take a test at the University for my graduate degree and naturally, I checked Yelp for some lunch locations. I saw that Do-B's had a 5 star rating and just had to check out the rave. This place is outstanding. I had to wait quite a bit for my food to reach the table but once it got there, I instantly forgot about the wait. I had the burnt end philly and MAH GAH, that was amazing! the fries were also delightful. I have made a point to stop here any time we are passing through town! Must try if you are passing through or live in town! read more

The best thing about road trips is finding hidden gems just off the road. The worst thing about road trips is finding great places that you know you might never visit again. If I could only dine in Emporia once, I'm glad that do-B's is the place I managed to find. (Thank you, Yelp!) I honestly hope that I get another chance to eat here, if only to tell the owners thank you for the food and service once again. And maybe to have another portion of that delicious pound cake! Simple food. Burgers, fries, cheesesteaks, and po'boys. The burgers are served on thick potato rolls, the sandwiches are on Amoroso rolls. Even better, the ice cream is Bryers and is blended into delicious shakes or is served hard, so you have time to enjoy it before it melts. I might not make it back, but my boy and I will remain fans! Thank you especially to Leslie, who took a few moments of her busy day to admire my son's LEGO creations. It was a sweet moment in his day! read more

Small place with Great Taste! Don't just drive by stop in. Everything iz made to order and delicious. Especially tha desserts. Yummy . I personally get chilli cheese burgers from Do-Bs but I'm pretty sure u can't go wrong ordering anything in tha Building. I Guarantee! read more

Really good food for a fair price. Had me a burnt end cheesesteak and my wife had a burger. Best food we've had on our road trip so far. They take pride in their food, enjoyed it enough to take the time to recommend it. read more

Dog Friendly!! They have an outdoor patio and your furry friend is welcome. It was hot today and they put up an umbrella over the table for shade and brought our dog a big bowl of cool ice water. He really liked that ice water on a day like today. The food was first rate. My OMG burger was amazing, piled high with pastrami and grilled onions and cheese. The seasoned fries were good. My chocolate shake was the best I've had in months. I might go back just for another milkshake! My wife had a veggie burger and a salad. Her burger was as delicious as mine, and the salad was a substitute for fries. They were very accommodating, eager to make certain that we were happy. We're traveling through the area and don't know if or when we'll be back. It's a delight to find a place like this, we will remember to stop here again if we can. read more

This is a very family friendly place. When we were there, the TV was playing a bugs bunny cartoon and they have one kids table available. They have a tree swing and picnic table out front under a shade tree! Staff is very friendly, appears to be family and seem to know everyone. read more

Visiting home and had to check this place out. I think I was here when they first opened, but that has been quite awhile. Our table had shrimp POBoys and a classic cheese steak. Everyone likes their order. The cheesesteak was worth the extra calories. Try it out. The tea is not sweet tea and that is a plus in our family. The Mexican Coca Cola is a plus for the kid. If you come to Emporia for Dirty Kanza or a disc golf tournament, you should eat here. read more

Saw all the 5 star reviews and as an semi professional skeptic, I had to check it out. Awesome service and even better food! The place is a converted Dairy Queen, they cleaned it up and turned into a gourmet diner. I had the Hornet and some fries and it was a home cooked, quality food and explosive taste experience. The portions are large! Will definitely be back when traveling through Emporia. read more

Do-B's - Half a Hornet with fries. This place is special! Many tasty menu items to chose from. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Emporia, Kansas

Great food and great service! I ordered the Creole gouda burger and fries and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Emporia. read more

Really good, had the chicken cheese steak. Everything made fresh, we ordered and waited about 15 min. Came out super hot temperature wise, but once cooled off was fantastic. Fries were also better than most. Highly recommend if in the area or in Emporia!! read more

Struggling with writing this review however felt this isn't the first time I have had this experience here and so felt that it probably isn't just a bad day or bad luck. On my recent trip I used their online ordering system. The food is great but customer service and their online system need some work. It's probably my bad for not fully reading the online ordering system - I swore I read RomIan Salad option and thought that this was a side and not as the meal. Nope its not a side but rather replaces the bread for the sandwich. So A Romain chicken fried salad with fries was $12.50??? A bit much for that - I received a total of two chicken strips in that salad. To be fair there isn't a picture that shows the item. I just have a different image in my brain of a chicken fried salad and the amount of salad that was included didn't equate to the price placed on it. I wouldn't necessarily call it a po' boy sandwich if I want it wrapped in lettuce or rather placed in the container on lettuce. But if that was all it was I probably wouldn't gripe. We placed our order at 555pm. The online system said it would be ready about 625pm. Okay, no problem - I live less than 5 minutes away, plenty of time to get the children in the car and head over after we make a stop along the way. We arrived at 625pm and pulled up to the drive thru as the email/app stated. I was told they had been slammed and were a bit behind and that it would be about another 10 minutes........ 10 minutes turned into 30 with no contact by anyone. There were cars in the parking lot, 6-7 along with us. All of the other cars left and new cars arrived after us. I think what got me was after thirty minutes I saw two cars go thru the drive thru and pick up food and yet here we were still waiting. I then saw a car that arrived after us get their food and here we were still waiting at which time I called out to the person bringing the food out and asked where our order was? He thought it had just come up!! I realize our order may have been slightly larger than most - we ordered two sandwiches and the 4 pack of cheeseburgers but did it really take that much longer than the others who obviously arrived AFTER us?!?!?!?! In the time it took for us to get our food and then get home (a whole 5 minutes away) and then get into the house pulling out the food for my kids to eat only to discover that the chicken was cold, the cheeseburgers were Luke warm, and the onion rings were cold. I have done a lot of carry out over the last year and have traveled farther with take out containers yet this was the first time our food was actually cold. If it was just the wait time I probably wouldn't have gone thru actually writing a review because the few times I went here before I have come to expect a longer than average wait time for food. Though I lived in the South and I have to say the po' boy shops I went to there never took as long as these guys never the less some places just take longer and that is expected at this establishment I have learned. What was not was my confusion over their online menu listings and then getting home with cold food. I will be hard pressed to recommend anyone going here in the future which is hard because they do have really tasty food. read more

Do-B's - Chicken Fried Po'Boy sandwich on Romain Lettuce - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Emporia, Kansas

So many great options on their menu. Really hard to choose a favorite. They have a great salad selection along with the burgers and Phillies. Love all the new things they come up with!!!! read more

Wow, this place has great food! It's a bit of a wait but when we are passing through Emporia we'll be stopping!! Highly recommended!

If you're looking for great philly cheesesteaks, delicious po-boys, and tasty burgers this is a place you don't want to miss. As you walk in, you can smell all of the goodness that you are about to taste. There is a wide array of things to choose from and there all also a good amount of salads, wings, side items, and desserts. I chose to have spartan cheesesteak this day and all of the flavors made me want to try more of the items! The hospitality at this spot was amazing. If you are looking for great food, great service, and a unique vibe...come here! read more

Crazy delicious burgers and wraps. Plus very cool outside seating area with shaded seating and fun decor.

Great food and friendly staff. Always. I quit trying to work my way through the menu e.g. try at least one of each kind of sandwich or po' boy. Too much good stuff and I finally just settled on a couple of favorites. They have Jambalaya as well one day a week. And yes, it's very good; splurge for some SHRIMP. The desserts, cookies, brownies, etc, are home made and are well worth the cost. The drive through is OK but the dining experience is much better and I eagerly anticipate Do-B's 'opening up' again. read more

Do-B...Do-me happy! For a fast food joint Do-B's got it going on. Picked up my son at summer camp down the road and searched up this little "joint" and was quite surprised. You know a place is good when people are willing to wait in crowded spaces, and outside when it's 99! Small dining area so grab a table and send your people to order. Great phillys and burgers with all the accoutrements you can think of! Made to order, clean, fantastic looking homemade desserts, and old fashioned soda. Bonus points for accommodating my keto request. read more

We were in Emporia for GBO, a huge disc golf tournament, several people suggested this place to eat. It was great , customer service , food and entire atmosphere made the entire experience awesome. And the best thing is you can to putt for your food read more

Do-B's - Mama Do-B, Shaggy Mike and I. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Emporia, Kansas

I took a lead from Yelp while passing through the area...I was led to Do-B's, a classic style burger joint with damn near gourmet burgers! Following a recommendation, I ordered up the Cajun Gouda Burger - a phenomenal play of flavors that was truly satisfying. I didn't try their Philly cheesesteaks but I saw sever delivered to adjoining customers and they looked great. read more

Visiting Emporia for only the third time and wanted to find local food. Their menu will surprise you with a range of Burgers, Hot Wings, Po Boy's, and even seafood. I ate the "BCB" or bacon cheeseburger with fries. The whole process from ordering to eating home cooking and TLC. The lettuce and onions had a fresh today crunch. The bacon came in fresh crumbles and the cheese continued to melt as I ate. I never thought that ketchup or mustard would insult and burger and fries but leave it on the table. The season on the fries may be a little much for some but I thought they were fantastic. This makes a return trip to Emporia a requirement! read more

What can I possibly say about i Do-B's? We walked in with every table packed and people standing while waiting. Ordered within five or ten minutes, and then a table cleared up and we sat down to wait for our food. Our milkshakes were brought out to us while we waited (fantastic, by the way), and they were extremely accommodating in regards to my son's food allergy. The shrimp po' boy was fantastic, I was told the BCB was delicious as well. The French fries were fantastic! We also got a bowl of jambalaya with shrimp, which was great in the restaurant and when I finished it later that night. The kid's burger was huge, and far more than my toddler could eat (although he seemed to enjoy it as well). If i could give more than 5 stars, I would. read more

A must stop when we were driving through! We got the Hot Chef combo which didn't even need dressing because it was so flavorful and Shrimp Po Boy with cheddar bites were worth the wait. Tip, we should of called the order in earlier. A very busy place. Will definitely be back!! read more

It's the bomb Great food, large portions. Always!!! Busy at lunch and you'll wait. Good people too!

Family in town for the holiday season. We ate at Do-B's twice Wednesday lunch & Saturday breakfast, I'm a semi-regular at DoBs anyway, I love their Californian grilled chicken breast & sweet potato fries meal, this is my first review of them. I love the atmosphere, cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, most importantly the food is amazing. I've only had a few things off their menu because I like them so much I rarely vary from my normal order. Their Breakfast menu is also good, my favorite is the biscuits & gravy with a half order of their garbage can platter. Yes garbage can platter, it's wonderful. My only complaint is that I wish they would give you more fries when you order a side of fries with your burger/sandwich, I will admit that I've never walked away hungry. I'm a vary tall/large person with a very healthy appetite. I will be back to DoBs frequently. read more

I came to visit Kansas from California. I searched to the ends for the best reviewed spot in Kansas and this spot was it. Honestly, this spot is dope! We ordered late night and the workers were really friendly (the female cashier was a cutie lol). Anyways, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves working there, which was great to see. The only thing was that it did take awhile to make the food. The price of the food was decent. Not cheap but not super expensive. The taste of the food was good! Perfectly cooked (medium?) patties and super juicy. The buns are nice and soft. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The fries were nicely salted. Definitely a kickass spot and will return on my next visit to Kansas! read more

Good food. Good service. Reasonable pricing. I like the environment. Just a fun place to be at.

Great food on their menu. I love the cat fish po boy! It is my favorite. Their sweet potato fries are great too.

So many great food options. Salad was great, poboys delish, fries were a hit. We needed something to eat in Emporia and ordered online and picked up on our way through. Happy to eat "local" and get a much better dinner than any available chain. read more

They have a lot to choose from and they were really friendly. Got the Black Cat PoBoy and it was amazing. Sweet potato fries are gas as well. read more

Their chicken philly is to die for!!!! This place used to be Dairy Queen back in the day, but I'm glad Do-B's replaced it! Also try their breakfast. One dish I am thinking of has huge portions of hash browns, sausage, bacon, eggs, cheese, and gravy. read more

Traveling through Emporia. This was a nice surprise. Friendly crew and food was amazing. I had the Reuben and my wife had the cheese burger. Worth a stop. read more

During a recent outing in the vast tundra that is Emporia my team and I found ourselves with parched throats and rather famished. As the dimming sky started minimizing our options, the angelic glow radiating from our car's headlights cast it's long and opaque stare at the local Do B's parking lot. "Aye, this place be good as any" my eye-patched comrade said in a pirate dialect of a swashbuckler washed up on the shores of Australia for the last ten score years. "Yeah. Let's do it" I was able to muster, my vision blurry from a lack of sustenance for the day. The doors of Do B's opened themselves, not by a human act, nor a natural gust of wind, but as an act of God, inviting us into to a culinary utopia. Rather quickly my fellowship and I realized this endeavor was going to go down in an orchestra of thinly sliced beef, grilled onions, potatoes piled so high they be crying, and ketchup that would even make the greenest of tomatoes envious. While the staff, who largely resembled the work ethic, jovial nature, and passion of Oompa Loompas, had accidentally mixed up our order during their masquerade into euphoria, we pleasantly accepted the blunder. Now this "blunder", my dear readers, turned out to be nothing short of a godsend as the eclectic convergence of spice and salt satiated our tastebuds. Ever seen a cowboy ride a salt water orca like Shamu? We hadn't either until Do B's showed us that combining these two seemingly unfit pairs could turn out wonderous. Our jalapenos and mushroom soon played the part of Romeo and Juliet and become two star-crossed lovers in our palette of a wheat bun. Do-B's? More like Do-Please. A+ establishment, will shop from again. read more

Do-B's provided a very nice change of pace in food. I was able to sample one of the original cheesesteaks, which was delicious. The 8oz cheesesteak with fries were just over $10. The cheesesteak needed a little more cheese in order to get to the perfect ratio while the fries were some of the best I've ever had. If I'm ever in Emporia again, I'll definitely go to Do-B's again. Highly recommend. read more

I feel sorry for those sad saps that do not use Yelp. While they are trying to choke down their Hardee's "burger" on the interstate, we stopped here on our trip to KC. The service was outstanding; and the food was as good as the guys working there. The place was busy at 2:00, a testament to the popularity of joint. I say it's a must if you're passing through. They recommended the blue cheese burger. It was great! If you think everything is better with cheese - who doesn't- this is the burger for you. The onions rings were not from frozen bags. I also tasted one of the meaty chicken wings. It was good too. I wish a long life to this place. read more

This is the spot to go to in Emporia for a great hamburger, chicken burger or Po Boy. The service is great , the food is excellent. It is worth the wait to get your food. We enjoyed this restaurant on our trip to Emporia last weekend for the Unbound Gravel Ride. As the pit crew, we too needed to eat. Great customer service at this iconic Hamburger stand. read more

The food was pretty good but only slightly above average. The service however was incredibly slow. It took over 45 minutes to get our food and while it was busy, it was not that busy. To top it off my fries were cold. Cheese curds were very good and I'd definitely recommend them over the fries. I don't think I'll be back though. read more

Had the cheesesteak and it was really good! Opted to add jalapeños - solid choice! Fries have a seasoning I can only imagine includes crack because they are completely addicting. A friend chose the buffalo salad and we were all surprised at the quality of greens it included - very good mix of spring greens. Seating is limited and the wait is long around lunch time but oh so worth it! read more

What a great find on our way to KC. We had the Hornet and the Cheesesteak with fries. Both were very good sandwiches and the fries were crisp and well seasoned. We will stop here again. read more

Insane Hornet burger stacked with grilled fresh jalapenos and cheese to the moon. And a shrimp po boy that was totally legit. Really good fries, too. These folks have enthusiasm and passion for the food and the work. Just watching how carefully they assemble, cut and wrap the food... it is painstaking. And it shows in the flavors. You get just about everything in every bite. Wow. What a great lunch! read more
