The hash browns were crispy. The omelet was good. I've had better, but I could see Don himself cracking the eggs, and that beats any chain or convenience. It's a local place to get your morning coffee and see a smiling face. You only find your way to Protection if you're a local or (like me) have a strong desire to not take the beaten path

Bought a second house in Coldwater and heard lots of great things about Don's in Protection. It was…read morecertainly busy and I know why! It was delicious! They have a menu of American diner items and some Mexican food. I opted for the taco salad and I'm so happy I did. Perfect portion and very tasty! I will definitely return and probably come earlier to avoid the crowds.

I love roadside restaurants such as K-18 cafe! I was road tripping a a 4Runner delivery from…read moreDetroit to its owner in Boulder. I had tired of expressways and spent the day on state and county highways. I was getting hungry and happened upon K-18 Cafe. The lovely Keera (not a typo) was my server. The chicken fried steak was great and drowning gravy. I added quite a bit of pepper to remind me of home. I ordered a slice of homemade peach pie for the road and enjoyed it two hours later at my gas stop.

Absolutely everything you'd expect a roadside cafe to be. Do not skip the Apple Pie AlaMode!read more

Gella's Diner is an absolute gem in Hays…read more From the moment you walk in, the beautiful décor sets the tone--warm, stylish, and way more inviting than you'd ever expect from a brewery‑diner combo. The service matches the atmosphere perfectly: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help you navigate their creative menu. The food here is where things really take off. The steak & blue cheese salad was outstanding--fresh, bold, and packed with flavor. The ahi tuna poke nachos were another knockout, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. And if you're a burger person, this place is dangerous in the best way. Their burgers are consistently amazing: juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Of course, you can't come to Gella's without enjoying their great beer, brewed right on site. Every pint feels like it was crafted to pair perfectly with the food. If you're in Hays, Gella's is a must‑visit. Creative dishes, great beer, beautiful space, and service that makes you feel right at home. An easy five stars.

I would highly recommend this for the weary traveler and Mexican food fan alike! We saw great reviews on Yelp and ran out of the hotel. The location was across the street. Our stomachs sank as we drove up to a closed restaurant and abandoned parking. The joy was abundant as we read they had just moved down the street! We were greeted warmly when we walked in. Drinks came right away as we studied the menu. We were pleased at the good variety of Jarritos in the fridge. Wifey asked for chorizo queso to go with the house chips and that was better than we can get most anywhere we are. I got the La Bandera combo and it was so satisfying. It's been a minute since I got a chile relleno that was THAT satisfying. Also, I could order a plateful of their shredded beef chimichangas and be happy. But the chicken enchilada really held up too! Wifey got the Bernabe's Special and just about died wanting to finish the epic amount of food. All of it was so good!
