I'll be stopping in again when in the area.

Nah, that ain't me G. I'm not a baby boomer so I didn't go off on the cashier tho cause it's probably not his fault. But you know who's fault it probably was, the manager who is probably a baby boomer who doesn't know how to conduct basic inventory. Sad! From now on I'll be taking my business to goodcents since they actually have bread Edit: Corporate sent me a gift card, and I went back and they had bread.

I came here to celebrate my 21st birthday, and overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. We…read morewere greeted by a very bubbly young man who was eager to help us and had such a positive attitude. The service was quite fast, and the food tasted great. The only thing I wish had gone a little smoother was the timing of my drink. I had ordered a margarita, and it didn't arrive until I was about a quarter of the way through my meal. It wasn't a huge issue, but it would have made the experience even better if the drinks had come out a bit sooner. Other than that, the service was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. With just a little improvement in drink timing, this place would be absolutely fantastic. I would definitely come back again!

Brooklyn was our server, and she gave great suggestions. My husband got the wings and I got the nachos. They were delicious. There was so much food, too! The restaurant itself felt more "bar and grill" vibe despite its appearance of more BBQ joint in the outside. They did have a selection of both bbq and grill food. Overall, we enjoyed it.

It's beef (I hope) but I've bought, cut and eaten a lot of KC strips and this looks nothing like those. We arrived late after baseball games and this was really the only option. Over seasoned. Cooked very well. Just disappointed Wife had the salmon and it was good. Again a good cook. The waitress was awesome. I hope she received the whole tip because she was awesome for it being 30 minutes til closing. The ambiance was better. Usually it's so loud in these places it turns me off anymore. This was better.

Honestly, one of the best managers I've come across in a long time. I let him know that I was from California and wanted to order extra rolls but the website wasn't letting me. He helped me get the rolls that I have been craving for over a year haha. Then I went to the pick up window and I had a young lady help me out with my order. She was also super nice and friendly. The food that I ordered came out the way I ordered it and the food is amazing. I didn't eat at the restaurant so I'm not sure about the ambiance but it looked clean from what I have seen. 10 out of 10 recommend. Thank you to the staff for the amazing service and the food! If the corporate keeps up with comments, give them a raise lol.

Always enjoyed coming here during my time studying at Kansas State…read more This breakfast joint is very cozy, with some of the best eggs and dishes I've ever had for a breakfast place. The decor, and aesthetic are well thought out, with indoor and outdoor spaces to eat, and the staff is very welcoming and don't mind talking. Jacob was my server at the Chef and he was on top of everything, helped with ordering and answered any questions I had. I chose the special for the day, the Cuban Bennie, and I'm glad he talked me into it. I will say if you can get there before it opens and can make it in at opening time, do it, because by the time we had ordered and finished the line was starting. Time to order, and receive food was ~ 20 min, coffee remained filled as was water. If you're visiting or a local, highly recommend this cozy breakfast place.

Great day in the morning beautiful people of Yelpsville. Thank you for sharing a moment of this…read morefine life we're living, together. The 250th anniversary of being the new kids on the blue marble is upon us. My fam decided to make a pilgrimage back to the wifes stomping grounds. The heartland, Kansas. We're staying in the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Ks. Home of K-State University. Well also home of The Chef, which should be just as famous and endeared. The Chef is this gorgeous, chic, yet not so that it's kitschy diner in the heart of the main district of Manhattan. A classic diner, from the hospitality of the service staff, to the lunch counter with cute doodads for salt and pepper shakers. You've been here, because you've been home, or so it feels. Yes, be prepared to snuggle in for a teensy wait, because everyone loves home cooking, especially when someone else is doing the dishes afterwards. The portions are truly well beyong the prices. I ordered a CFS, smothered in sausage gravy. Was plated a Texas sized portion, thick steak, lightly crispily breaded, with a savory southern styled country gravy that honestly looked a bit intimidating in quantity, but I'm no fraidy cat. I came to conquer. Two perfectly running over medium eggs, whites done, yolks on the run, my style. A mountain of softly crunchy, better-than-homestyle fried potatoes, and a slice of thick cut wheat toast. This was a ton O' grub Bubba dub. Each component treated and seasoned well enough, to eat stand alone. Our meal partner kept checking on the family to see if we needed any more of that rich Arabica bean juice, or water, with the care of your fav Auntee from Mississippi, but right here, in the Land of Ahhhhs. She was winning us, even as much as The Chef that prepared the feast itself, and the food. Whew. The belly beat down was in effect, but I didn't tap out. I took that esophageal excitement with relish. Well not relish, with a sweet house made strawberry compote on toast. I wiped the plate clean. $15. You read that right... just $15. Oh I understand $15 is real money in this economy, but in relationship to the level of service, quality of service, epic portion sizes, and the finesse with which this small diner beat most anywhere we've been, and we share 39 years of worldwide travel as an old married couple, this was a bargain at $15, in the 90s. For sure back home in Texas this was honestly a $21 - $26 plate, and we're a beef producing state. Still with me? You're the real hero for hanging in here, and I truly appreciate you. If ever you want to taste Americas 250 years, in one sitting, visit The Chef in Manhattan, Ks. It's families feeding the community. No political spin, no feeling unwelcomed. An open door, to open hearts, feeding hungry bellies, without crushing your purses and wallets. They leave room in your account to make you want to reciprocate with generosity in returning, but also, tipping heartfully, without pressure. I miss when a meal was worth tipping huge without feeling it wasn't worth it. Here at the Chef, the earn it the old way. Be well, be loved, we're in this life past this page no matter what social media tells you. Hugs to you from me and mine. Go out and smile like ya mean it. Laugh like you're cray cray, and love like tomorrow isn't coming. Want pics? Nope. This place is worth you seeing for yourself. My pictures wouldn't do them justice. Peace y'all.
