    a chili cheese sandwich
    Melissa B.

    Kansas 01-2024 Tony and I stopped in Wellington Kansas on our way to see Laura Ingalls Wilder's home and we stopped at Penny's Diner for lunch. Qe both had tea to drink no beer poor Tony. I ordered a Regular Cheeseburger with fries and he ordered a Chili Cheeseburger with Fries. His was very interesting that was for sure!! He liked it very much My burger was good but I put too much mustard on it.i would eat here again if in the area. Staff was very nice

    Better than average diner! Not far off I-35 at Wellington. 24 hour, breckfast all day, small selection but pretty good. Service was average. Locals eat here.

    Eggs, Hashbrowns, and Toast

    genuinely such a cute and retro diner, it's also open 24 hours. food was pretty good, standard diner food and the wait time was surprisingly speedy considering they only had one worker.

    I discovered this place over 10 years ago. First time I've been here since I got the app. Not much changed. Feels like you time machined to the 50's, which is great ambience. Now, to the food. It's cooked right in front of you, so you know what you are getting. Blue plate special was meatloaf. They were out. Hubby ordered a burger with avacado. They were out of avacado. Other than that, the burger was delicious, according to hubby. Excellent onion rings. I tried one. I had the chef salad. It was huge! Full of ham, turkey and all the promised veggies. They provided a small bowl of dressing and 3 packets of crackers on the side. I was impressed, as it looked like the plates they made in my childhood. I've never been disappointed there. We had a coupon for buy one, get one free. We tipped both the cooks for a job well done. We will be back!

    This is a great little diner in the middle of a very small town just south of Wichita, Kansas.

    I'm going to admit, I was apprehensive to eat here. I sat in the car with my husband trying to…read moreconvince him that a 45 minute drive to Wichita really wasn't that bad. He wanted a burger so he said here or Braum's...so here it was. We walked in, and there is a bar room and an eating room. We sat in the dining area, the fireplace on one wall is really aesthetic, otherwise it's a quaint, clean, hole-in-the-wall establishment... motorcycle parking up front (wish we'd brought our bikes). Hubby ordered a beer, it arrived in a frosty cold mug, just like he likes it. Also, as per tradition, fried mushrooms. As for food, he got a cheeseburger with seasoned fries and I got wings(enough to share) in mild sauce and sweet potato fries with sea salt. Our server was also the one preparing the food, he wore gloves, he worked quick, and was friendly. The workers talk to you like you're their neighbor, and everyone seems in a pretty good mood. Now on to the food...I am often jealous of my husband's selection, this is no exception. His burger looked like something your dad makes for Memorial Day, family picnics, and the 4th of July. It is thick and juicy, and I'd like to tell you that it tasted as good, but honestly, my husband didn't share. LOL He says I only needed to ask. I did try the fries, seasoned is DEFINITELY the way to go! YUM! HOWEVER, my wings were not missing a beat, they were delicious, fresh, and the sauce was super good. My sweet potato fries were excellent. The best part, with appetizer, three beers, and both our dinners, we still got out of there for less than $40. Overall, would definitely go back, very pleased with service, food, cleanliness, and cost. I definitely recommend you stop in.

    Very nice atmosphere. Make you fell at home day or night. Food is good, always adding new things to…read morethe menu. Cheese fries are the best in town. Will be back.

    When ordering food, the screen went black. So we couldn't view to make sure the order was correct…read more Most of our order was fine. They didn't ask "what size tater tots do you want?" They just gave us medium which is a higher cost. Food didn't take too long to arrive. Gal had a "I can't get away from you" fast enough vibe. Order was $17. Paid her a $20. She didn't have bills for change. ?? Had to go in and get that. Asked her for ketchup, salt and pepper. She went in to get that with the dollar bills for change. Came back. Had to ask her for a receipt. I wanted to check the order. It felt fishy. She said she threw out the receipt inside. Did we still want it? Yes, please. She came back out with ketchup and the receipt. The ketchup had a long hair stuck on it. My partner gave the $2 tip to the gal because we sent her back twice. I didn't know Sonic employees need a tip. I figured they make minimum wage. My partner thinks that she hadn't brought the change the first time because she wanted the $2 tip. I think that's tacky. The receipt looked accurate. I was relieved. Because he had been suspicious about it - the total was more than it should have been. He looked at it and realized it the medium tots instead of the small tots. The pickles on both sandwiches were all in a pile. This means 1 bite = all pickle in 1 bite. The trash can on the way out is situated that you can have your car tire on the curb and you can't put your trash all the way in. A trash can with a chute lid would solve that problem. The food all tasted fine. So that's good! Hopefully we won't get sick from it. If we do, I will update this review.

    Order here semi frequently. The food is good but don't expect any marinara sauce with your…read moremozzarella sticks.
