Not sure what to make of this place. Stopped by here on a weekend in early January. Place was deserted. Staff (assume owners?) were super friendly and nice to us. Pretty nice ambiance. That's about where it fell apart. The menu had some pretty cool sounding things on it - and being a "fusion" restaurant, there was some variety. From gyros to hummus, ramen to Pad Thai, and burgers to tortas. Settled for the Pad Thai and the falafel. Both were mediocre. The plates were filled and spilling over... the noodles were soggy and lacking in flavor. Way too much food also. I probably won't return. read more

Good spot with a patio and it is dog friendly (outside). Order inside. Typical (but good) diner food. We tried the sliders and the chili cheese dogs. The fries were outstanding BUT thank goodness the person taking our order asked if we wanted them with cinnamon and sugar. Uh, NO. I would stop again. The building is cool and there's a photo of the original site on the outside wall by the patio. I would return. read more

Gem of a restaurant! Always on the lookout for great places to eat on the drive cross-country, and this is one to remember. The kids devoured their street corn and arepas. The tiger burger was perfectly cooked. The paella was absolutely fantastic. Manuel was so welcoming, and the service was quick! Definitely looking forward to revisiting this friendly and delicious restaurant. Next time, we'll ask how many pennies it took to make the floor! read more

Well apparently today is their last day :( From out of town, wanted a light snack ordered a couple of Street Corn. Very reasonably priced but more important they were delicious with a bit spice. Other entrees looks good (big meaty wings, burger with what looked like a home made, seeded bun). I think Hays is going to miss this place! read more

My roommate and I stopped by here on a cross country trek, both cooks by trade for ~5 years. Before ordering we were admiring the building, decor and vibe of the building itself. The menu is varied but not massive, leading me to believe every individual item is made with care and skill by Manuel himself, who when he saw us came out to greet us and discuss the different menu items while we made up our minds. we ended up getting the tiger burger and gyro, as well as horchata to wash it down. Everything tasted very high quality and clean, from the drinks to the potato bun obviously made in house from scratch. Highly recommend for the food, the service and for a memorable experience while in town. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect in terms of food and prices, but it turned out to be amazing. Best food we've had in a long time! Would definitely recommend :) read more

Great menu selection! I had the gyro, the meat was tender and flavorful and very nice portion!

This place is amazing for a quick bite! We were driving from Denver to Kansas City and needed some food. This place was the perfect stop! Great grilled cheese with bacon, yummy chicken tenders, and a variety of dipping sauces. read more

Went here when this place was a burger joint and the food was always cold, and the fries were always stale. It's in such a great location too which is a bummer. I'd also stay away around election season because they tend to fly big political banners which is strange. Went back to try them as a fish restaurant and the service was sub par. We waited for so long, and all the tables seemed to be covered in a layer of grime. read more

I had The Mac of Oz and it was delicious as it was messy. The fries were good, on the greasy side. My dad had The Wicked Witch and thought it was spicy but not too spicy. My mom had The Dorthy Melt which was crazy cheesy and tasty. The Pickle O's were also pretty good. Overall nothing to complain about other than the fries and pickles being a bit greasy. read more

It was 12 noon. Hours are 11:00 to closing at night. Lights on, music playing on patio. However, door locked and the telephone is disconnected. No sign on door saying be back in 10, nothing. Very disappointed. read more

Amazing- day 3 traveling from NC to Colorado. This was our best stop so far- 4 miles off highway so worthwhile. We had a hot dog and the Dorthy with Fries! So good! This little penny floor old gas station was fantastic!! Highly recommended! read more

Wonderful food and service... Manuel kills it in the kitchen! Ignore all of the old reviews, they were from before Manuel took over

I came in from out of town and ate with a friend. The food was fantastic! I had the Gyro and she had the Ramen. Manuel helped us and took the time to explain some of the dishes to us. The service was excellent. Hays has a gem here with a restaurant that does a few dishes from other countries, but executes those dishes very well. 5 out of 5 and would highly recommend. read more

Fusion by Manuel is amazing! The food is so delicious and unique. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. If you want to try something different and tasty, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! read more

My dining experience was not how I anticipated it to be. I debated on whether or not to write this review because i never have written a restaurant a review before but I figured I should let future patrons know what to expect when choosing to come to this establishment. When food quality doesn't match up with the prices, it can be disappointing for customers (especially since it was my graduation weekend). It's also unfortunate that the staffs mood affects the atmosphere and my families abilities to enjoy our celebration. Our family was uncomfortable due to the temperature of the building with all the windows/doors open. Hopefully, the restaurant can address these issues to provide a better dining experience for future patrons because I left this establishment very disappointed and will unlikely be coming back. read more

Keep driving!!! Wait time was unacceptable, service was unacceptable, fries were unspeakable. Food in general is completely average, fries were offensively bad. You'd be better off at a chain restaurant if you are on any kind of travel schedule, the wait time and complete lack of coordination of when each dish was served was ridiculous. Sorry, we wanted to like this place! read more

We went tonight, 5 meals and all of us thought the fries and appetizers were overcooked. Burgers seemed salty. Probably won't go back when we visit Hays in the future. read more

Get off interstate and get a burger. Neat place. Worth the drive away from interstate. Coco tiger shake I will try to make at home since I liked it. read more

Great change of pace on food in town. Loved it the 4 times I have been. Service great too.

Kitschy design in a former gas service station, it features historical photos and takes of old Fort Hayes. The menu is brief, exactly what you want from a burger joint. Cinnamon fries are good, but too many can be an awful experience. The milkshakes are great! The burgers have fantastic variety, and the sauce bar is something I've never seen before. But the service... Oi! A dirty, grungy, cough-snort-sickly staff who wore an iPhone as a shoulder pad under his shirt, blasting music or a podcast that was utter bullshit. What a shame. read more

This is a good burger joint. I would definitely come again. Great place to go when the weather is warm because they have a large patio area. I can't remember the name of the burger but it had an egg and gravy. A little messy but delicious. Tip: You can order the fries without the seasoning. read more

Not bad, not good. This is clearly a very family owned, community loved hangout. We must have gone on a bad day and I hesitate to say anything bad as I suspect this day might have been an anomaly based on other reviews. We were looking for a place we could bring dogs and a baby to for a Sunday lunch. This fit the bill as it has a nice big patio. So for pet friendly this is a plus. The building itself is very cute and set up for fun community events. The floor inside is literal pennies and fun to look at. The food and service are the reason for three stars as that's where things went downhill. There were only two ladies working, one of which gave the impression she didn't want to be there (staring at her phone and barely speaking) and the other cooking food in the kitchen. Though there were only six customers total in the store, it took twenty minutes to get a grilled cheese and cheese sticks even being the second person to order. Cheese sticks were severely over cooked. Other person got a regular burger and said it was okay. They forgot about our third meal and we had to remind them. Ice cream for cones and shakes was broken. They do have canned beers to drink. With fried food and burgers being their business we had hoped for more. read more

Don't waste your time, we got to the restaurant little before 9. Ordered out food (2 entrées) at 9:06 and finally at 9:50 we got our food. 2 of the hamburgers on the 4 pack of sliders where about half the size it should be. Also the fries where ice cold. I asked for them to brink some hot fries. He did bring more fires (about half the size of what I ordered). Also just want to add there when we got there, there was only 2 group of 4 there. They were not busy by any standers. We talked to the others there and they said their food was cold. Also I want to add they close at 10. read more

Had the Wicked Witch burger and it was wicked delicious!! We loved it and if we ever get back near Hays we will definitely be stopping by again!! read more

Took over 30 minutes to get our food out. No apology or other gesture to make up for the wait. Should have just gone somewhere off the interstate. Food is ok. Better than fast food. (and it certainly isn't fast!) Update: We ordered some shakes to go. They took 10% off for our trouble.. Another update: The $3.99 shakes came out. Imagine a frosty from Wendy's. There ya go. read more

Great and helpful staff. They were out of several options on their menu. Food is okay, nothing to write home about.

Fun, casual atmosphere. Order at the counter. Food arrives at your table in baskets. Huge array of self-serve condiments--ketchup, 2 kinds of mustard, special sauce, sauerkraut, onions, relish, jalapenos, banana peppers, and more. Delicious sliders and fries. Sodas and beers available in cans or bottles. read more

Fun style of burgers. If you love burgers but are looking for some diners drive ins and dives style of stand out burger then this is it!! Can't wait to come back and try the Mac and cheese burger and some wings. Great price point and kids love their free cone chip! read more

Got served a raw chicken breast. Normally not one to be super picky, but this was cold, RAW, wiggly chicken on a bun. They were also out of lettuce and the fries were soggy and cold. I sent it back, but they refused to give me a refund. Also their kitchen staff eat while on the job?? Just felt so insanity in so many ways. read more

My wife found this place online since we knew ahead of time that we were going to stop in Hays to eat on a trip. Atmosphere gets a 5 for sure. Great set up. You can tell they put a lot of money and planning into it and it pays off. The classic music, old Sinclair gas pumps, awesome tables and pull out TVs outside are great. The inside has just as much attention to their diner/soda jerk looking hang out. Some people mention that it has one door in and out. I suppose that could be an issue. Everyone was a person when we went and did things like hold the door and wave each other through. Food is probably a 3.5. Sliders are sliders, but these are big! You can put onions on them for free -Good onions. Paying to order cheese is disappointing, though. Looks like they tear one piece of American four ways and it doesn't cover the slider. Chili dogs are chili dogs. The chili and cheese reminds me of the stuff the Der Weinershnitzel has out West, which isn't a bad thing. Generally, we got what we expected. TLDR: If you have a hankering for this type of food, this is a great atmospher to go have it in. Just watch out for paying extra for add-ons. read more

Fun burger place with a huge patio out front. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. We ordered sliders, wings and a few other things. The fries with a dash of cinnamon on them was out of this world! Wings were good, sliders were really delicious. Will be back next time I travel through Hayes this year. read more

I dropped in to eat on my way through town. Excellent burger, good veggies. Had a bar of condiments to choose from. French fries were crisp. In all honesty, one of the best burgers I have had in a while. read more

Pricey for food that lacks flavor. Took one bite out of the burger and couldn't finish it. My "I don't care if the food sucks just give me fries" kids did not like the fries. Disappointed as this had a decent rating. read more
