The Cooke Bake is a must-try! A long time Manhattan staple, Mr. K's is a nice little cafe with a surprisingly extensive menu. It's perfect for lunch or a relaxed dinner. The atmosphere is nice - it is well decorated with K State apparel and always clean. The prices are a little high for what it is, but overall not bad. If you're on the west side of town and looking to try a great local restaurant, I highly recommend Mr. K's! read more

I'm a dumbass. I found my wallet, thinking it was stolen there. The place is great and service is nice.

I am basing my review only on the cookie bake as its a good reason to come here. Between the four of us we ordered 3 varieties; chocolate chip, oatmeal cinnamon apple, and I got the special white chocolate macadamia. After tasting all three...I would say mine was the best. However that wasn't the consensus. The others voted for the chocolate chip. Regardless, how can you not like hot gooey sweet cookie topped with rich creamy vanilla ice cream?? I would "choke" down :) any of the variations. Should you stop here for a sweet afternoon treat or after dinner desert? Absolutely! My only complaint it the temperatures's place was pretty warm. read more

Mr K's Cafe & Bar - Seasonal White Chocolate & macadamia and Oatmeal Caramel Apple - New American Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Made a quick stop in for some dessert after lunch, I've been here before but we had a few first timers. It's always a tough choice on which cookie bake To get, I think the chocolate chip is the best but sometimes you're just in the mood for hot Apple pie à la mode, and the oatmeal cinnamon apple is the closest thing. It did not disappoint. Hot and melted and sugary delicious. Definitely a stop for someone with a sweet tooth. Will definitely be read more

Walked in and told us to "have a seat". The three waiters didn't even care to bring us a menu or come say hello. They were not busy by any means; the ladies just talked to each other at the bar and went to every other table multiple times, walking right past us. We waited 20 minutes but still nothing. Never been treated like this before! And I'm never coming back. read more

the atmosphere was okay but do not get the cheeseburger! If I wanted a burger this cheap tasting I would have ordered from McDonalds! pizza was good. waitress was nice read more

I really like the location, but other than that, I mean--the food is really bland and it always seems to take way too long for what it is no matter how slow or busy they are. Atmosphere-wise, it's rather cold and noisy. I only go if someone asks me to, and because it's right by my house. But meh. read more

We had good service here and had good drinks! The food we got was tasty too and a nice amount for 2 people to share. read more

Mr K's Cafe & Bar - Buffalo Chicken and Bleu Cheese Flatbread Pizza, Homemade Queso - New American Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Ordered a panini, came in a form of a burrito. Weird, isn't a panini a sandwich? But overall it was still good food! Buffalo chicken dip is always a hit! read more

We came in to get a cookie bake. We were sat and our order was taken quickly. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for the cookie bake to arrive. The cookie bakes came out in a styrofoam dish instead of the typical dish. The cookie was stuck to the bottom of the styrofoam. No one ever came to check on us or refill our waters. We were waiting on our check for a long time. We ended up asking a random worker who was cleaning a table to bring our check. We were ready to go and had cash to break. No one ever came by so we came up with enough cash and coins to pay our table rather than waiting. The workers were too busy cleaning or talking. read more

A manhattan favorite! If you need a good quick lunch spot this is your place! They have amazing flatbreads and a great sandwich & soup option! If you have a sweet tooth make sure to stop by here for dessert: their cookie bakes will change your life. Staff and Owners are super friendly and always make you feel at home! read more

Tasty place! Definitely get the cookie bake, best swap for a pizookie that you cannot find out this way. Sandwiches are delicious and service is super friendly and kind! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner but mostly for their famous cookie bake. When we came on a Saturday night it was super busy and we stood in the entrance confused on where to go. Turns out after standing awkwardly in the entrance and waiting about 5 minutes and multiple servers walking past us to help guests outside.. we found out it was open seating. We got a table which had crumbs and such on it, and when it was wiped down I still had to wipe some crumbs off with napkins. Not super appetizing... but we were hungry so we decided to stay. Our waitress was ok, but fell short of my expectations for a good waitress. For instance, when receiving our food we had to get up and ask for silverware. Anyways we got our food, and my boyfriend had the Texas Mac and Cheese which was delicious and I had the Pub and Cheese Burger which was an average burger, nothing too special. The cookie bake we ordered was delicious, and we both enjoyed those. Overall, I think this place would be an ideal stop for a dessert fix... but not for a whole meal. read more

I ordered Mr K's for the first time today and was so disappointed. The reason I chose this restaurant to order from in the first place was because I wanted chicken noodle soup. The soup had no broth at all and was insanely salty .... I took 2 bites and couldn't eat the rest of it. I also ordered the hummus dip. It was suppose to come with half pita and half bagel chips .... there were only 3 pieces of pita. I also ordered the garlic pesto panini but after I placed my ordered I was called and informed that they didn't have that menu item so instead I got the Asiago Club. It was so dry and so bland I had to put condiments that I had at home on it to give it flavor. Definitely won't be eating Mr K's again. read more

We stopped here for lunch and it was really good. Our waiter was the only one there and running around pretty good, but did a great job. I had the rattlesnake flatbread, which was real tasty with a bit of a kick. Don't forget the cake bites for dessert. read more

The cookie bakes are seriously so yummy!!! We have also tried a few of their appetizers which are really tasty.

Love it!! They have the best cookie bakes in town! My dad always takes me here, not to mention the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable

Great place to hang out and chill with friends over cookie bakes! Service varies from time to time, just depends on what time you go. Price is on the low end so very friendly to your wallet. read more

I really like this place. It is hidden away in the same parking lot as Old Chicago, but the food and atmosphere is waaayyy better (in my opinion). I have been there 4 or 5 times and will go back again soon. Not your usual bar food. You can actually have a conversation with your companions and the food is excellent. Truly a hidden gem! read more

I just came to manhattan last year for college and mr. K's quickly became one of my faves! Service is always kind and food is always fresh and AMAZING! Can't recommend it enough read more

Got our food delivered, and honestly was really disappointed. The soup that we got was watery and bland, and the croutons that came with it were fairly burnt. We also got a panini, and the edges of the bread were really tough to bite through. We're new to the area and so we thought we'd give this place a try since it's one of the few places that delivered later in the night, but definitely won't be eating from here again. read more

Mr. K's is a neighborhood joint. It was recently renovated so there are nice floors. The place has a bar, booths, tables, and outside seating including fire pits. It is open for weekend brunches, lunch and dinner. I have been here three times and it is fine. To be honest, I find the food very boring - it is salads, sandwiches, paninis, and soups. There are only 4 appetizers on the menu. I guess it is basic, but the food does come out fast and hot so that is good. We came for brunch once and the guys seemed pleased with their enormous bloody marys and other brunch booze. The servers are very nice and efficient, and it is a decent place to watch sports (like the full house last night to watch the Royals). The best part about the place is the decor - the walls are covered in K-State historical pictures, articles, posters, and other cool things that keep customers examining all of the interesting information and pictures on every corner. Also, the dessert (cookie bake) is awesome - cookie heated in a crock topped with ice cream. read more

Nice atmosphere. Good service. Below average food. Pretty much what you would make at home when in a bind. Bad grilled cheese, burger and Rueben, soup okay and pizza acceptable. Disappointing. read more

When I visit my boyfriend in Manhattan, we always get dinner at Mr. K's. We haven't dined in yet, we always do takeout, but the inside looks like a fun bar and grille-type restaurant. I order the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. Very tasty. My boyfriend orders the Buffalo chicken dip. His only compliant is that the tortilla chips are the thin cantina tortilla chips, and they easily break under the weight of the dip. The crown jewel of our dinner is the chicken enchilada soup. This soup is so good that I found a recipe so that I can make it myself in between my visits to Manhattan. read more

A nice place to grab a bit for lunch. A lot of sandwiches on the menu as well a flat bread pizza and panini. The service was good. Outdoor seating for a nice day. The portions were pretty good for the price. Bathrooms were clean. read more

I have been here a few times but tonight the service was not good. I had to ask for someone to come to our table to take our drink order and food order. We ordered a cookie bake and it was not good.

Great neighborhood bar and grill. Great variety of beer. Patio area is wonderful to sit at in the evening. Waitstaff is prompt, Courteous and helpful. The whole place has a great vibe. Great menu selection of foods. The garlic chicken panini was excellent. Flatbreads are also delicious. A must next time we are in town read more

Small menu but lots of options within certain categories. Great soups. Great flatbreads. The BEST thing here is a cookie bake, absolute must have so save room for dessert! Jalapeños are common on the menu but can be left out. Lots of tvs and bar seating available. read more

Fun little neighborhood bar and grill. Just what you would expect from a place like this good food good service relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely go back. My kids recommend the flatbreads. read more

I was really looking forward to eating at one of my favorite places tonight, but I'm leaving terribly disappointed and will not return. Not only was the food terrible, the manager did not care when informed of the situation. There was no crab or lobster in the crab lobster fondue and the cheese tasted terrible while the pecans were stale and soft on the chicken and spinach salad. I was forced to pay for two items I could not eat. I explained about both items to both the server and the manager, I understand with Covid it is difficult to get things started again. The manager was very unfriendly and could've cared less whether I was happy or not. She finally offered a coupon for my return, but forced me to pay for two items I could not eat. I will not be returning. read more

This is one of my favorite go-to places on those nights when I'm hungry but I don't know what I want. Their paninis are excellent and the combo options of soup and paninis are great. I love the Asiago Club and the Pork Ciabatta. As for the flatbreads, you can't go wrong with the Buffalo Chicken flatbread (which I just had the other night). Their salad options are pretty good, too, with the Cranberry Chicken Spinach a personal favorite. My only negative comment is its kind of small and it gets pretty full on weekends. I wish they could expand a bit, but that might make it lose its cozy feel. Be sure to try the cookie bake, a large warm cookie in a ceramic bowl with ice cream. Don't think too much about it, you can go to the gym later. read more

My fiancé and I had the Buffalo wings as an appetizer they were cold when we got them but we made sure they were done. For the main dinner we got a chicken bacon ranch flatbread pizza first I wanna say the flavor of the pizza was the best I've had ever but the center of the flat bread was doughy and lifeless. We may try it again on a different day maybe it was just a bad day but this was our first time experience. The staff seemed friendly they didn't really check on us to much. read more

Restaurant smells like a fart, not a lot of variety on the menu. Service was great, everything is priced reasonably and my mimosa was yummy.

The service here is horrible. Sat and waited 45+ mins just to get cookie bakes. Just trash.

Pretty good service and food. The decor really makes this place worth going to-- it is K-State nirvana! The prices were very reasonable and the food came out fast. It is small so expect a wait for busier times. I would definitely go back and even recommend it to others. read more

My fiancee and I were visiting my parents in Manhattan and decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and happened upon Mr. K's, and we were so glad that we did! Mike took great care of us and showed us some great Midwestern hospitality. They have some quality local beers on tap (Tall Grass Pale Ale) and a full bar. We will definitely be back to try the food...the flat bread at the next table looked amazing. Great local spot with some cool K State memorabilia... Thanks Mr. K's! read more

Super small portions for the price, and on my take out order they would not let me change the flavor of chips I ordered. Very disappointing with personal service. Would not go back on my own, mother likes the place. I might go back with her. read more
