I had visited this restaurant when it was relatively new, and haven't been able to return until now. Highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting Manhattan, the brunch menu is fantastic. The dining area is spacious and the decor is unique. I really enjoy the open kitchen and being able to see the kitchen staff working on our food while we wait.

Good morning yallsome people of Yelp. Hopefully we all received pleasant dreams as we slept…read more Up early, 6 a.m. prepping my baby backs for tomorrow, cutting crosshatches into my sausages before they rest on an open flame. I throw down. Sheesh, it's already 10 a.m. and we need to break the fast. "Hey Google, breakfast sammies near me?" Early edition was in the top 3. Boom, like a firecracker I'm headed there. They don't serve typical breakfast biscuits, but slammed a fluffy folded scrambled egg omlet style, and a sausage patty betwixt two of the lightest, butteriest homemade buscuits north of the Mason/Dixon. No way to describe the crumbly goodness. Side of thick cut homefries rounded it out. Talk about accommodation. Off the cuff, build my style biscuit sammiches that came out way better than the taste in my head. That's service the way we from the 60s remember. To go order here means to go. They niether dillied or dallied. My order was out way faster than I'm accustomed to. This was 5 stars and then. Thankful EE isn't in my town in Texas. I'd need new stretchy pants. Take care of your fingers if you celebrate with fireworks. Be aware of our 4 legged family member, and veterans with PTSD might need a bit of understanding. Be well.

We tried the stuffed French toast as it seemed to be their specialty. It definitely hit the spot. My wife went for the pancake. Not pancakes, just one and that's a good thing because this cake was about twice the size of the plate. She barely got through half of it! Add some great service and even a refill on the cappuccino and you get 5 stars!

Wanted a good breakfast before our baseball tournament and this was close to our hotel…read more The current reviews were not great but I decided to take a chance and see for ourselves. The steak and eggs was good. Eggs cooked just like I asked as was the steak. Steak could use a little seasoning but was tender. Potatoes and toast complemented well. Seasoned nice and cooked just right. The Alaskan Omelet was amazing. My wife ordered this and if we are in the area again I'll order this. In fact my son's omelet was just as good. Pricing is on point with the servings. We had to get to go boxes. If you have a big appetite you'll be fine. Our server was just as awesome as the food. She was attentive and there when needed. We had a short wait after ordered that was just right. Even our orange juice and cranberry juice was good. Some places water these down. Not here. Tasty. It's not a large place so the comfy feeling is definitely there. I like the feel. Not too many people so it's not loud. I would 100% come back if we have the chance

Will definitely be going back until we've tried everything on the menu!

This cute bistro has really nice pastries - I have even gotten a matcha white chocolate scone - and delicious salads. This is also the best place in town for a hot matcha latte. It is a popular place to sit and work or meet someone for breakfast, coffee, or lunch. The staff is friendly and there are often really fun drink specials.

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.

Colorful, maximalist, and funky! I was greeted instantly by the bartender and we talked about the inspiration of the place, and how the sound system was right on for the theme. Let's hope they can get that vinyl system working with the digital monitors... that's always a tedious process! The food though, it brought it home. I got a to-go order and brought it home to my buddy who'd been working all morning. He took a bite and his eyes lit up man. I Love to see one of my guys visibly love good food. He got the fried chicken pozo while I got the meatball sub... once again. Bangers. This place has flavor. Aesthetically, and literally!! Go here. Go here. Go here.
