A true hidden gem in Kansas…read more The menu brings a vintage Route 66 vibe with a classic Kansas twist that makes the whole experience feel nostalgic in the best way. Everything is made fresh to order, so don't expect a quick in-and-out meal unless you call ahead. The wait is part of the process, and honestly, it shows in the quality. If you are vegan or vegetarian, there are a few things to be aware of. The menu can be a bit misleading. The grill top and utensils are shared with meat, and all fried food is cooked in beef tallow. That means fried items are not vegan or vegetarian. If cross contamination is a concern, I recommend letting the staff know so they can change gloves and sticking with options like a salad without meat toppings. The staff was extremely friendly and happy to answer questions, which made navigating the menu much easier. I didn't notice a microwave, and it was pretty busy during my visit, but it might be worth asking if the black bean or vegan patty can be prepared separately. There are gluten free and keto options on the menu. Others in my group really enjoyed their meals, and my salad was fresh presented well. I would definitely come back. I just wish there were more clearly food prepseparated options for vegetarian and vegan dishes so more people could fully enjoy what they offer. OH and if you dare, there is a food challenge with their habanero sauce!

We stopped at Do-B's on our way to Prairie National Reserve and it lived up to my expectations…read more It's on a quiet street in Emporia and has a lot of food choices, from fish to wraps to burgers etc. It's also one of the highest rated restaurants in the area and I can definitely see why. The place gave me a fast casual eatery vibe but also a little feel of grandma's house because of this small glass showcase they had with some items in it. All food items are priced decently. I got the blackened fish with rice and fries and my husband got the Hornet Burger with fries. Both dishes were really good. The fish was cooked just right, moist and seasoned really well. The burger was also done perfectly with a juicy tasty patty. Fries were fresh and crispy...cherry on top!! Service was quick and the staff was very sweet. The restaurant was also very clean. They even have some of their own sauces and salsas for sale, plus some grab-and-go options which is nice and convenient especially for college students. Note - they also have a Do-B's reaper burger challenge which sounds fascinating. However, I don't ever think i will be able to try it ever Haha. To conclude - 5/5 for me.

We usually ask for "ToGo" cups so I can have a beverage after eating. Today we were told next week they will begin charging $.79 for each cup. After spending more than $25 for our meals, they want us to pay for a ToGo cup???? They have funds to build a "FunCenter" onto the restaurant but this is the way they treat longstanding loyal guests. Recently we waited 30 minutes for more chicken (I counted 10 pieces, none that I wanted, that had been laying in the tray for sometime) using some excuse that it was nearing lunch time end. Their service has really gone down hill. I guess they didn't want to provide choice for those of us who were there!

Yelp Elite ReviewBobby D's BBQ is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when you're craving…read moresolid, no‑nonsense barbecue done right. From the first bite, it was clear this spot takes pride in quality. The ribs were the standout--perfectly tender, well‑seasoned, and paired with a sauce that enhances the meat rather than masking it.Pricing is refreshingly reasonable, with most plates starting around $11+, which feels like a steal given the generous portions and overall quality. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, making it an easy choice for families or a relaxed meal out.Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. Our group of four adults and three kids came out to $116 total, and every dollar felt well spent.Bobby D's checks all the boxes: great food, fair prices, welcoming ambiance, and genuinely good service. If you're in Emporia and appreciate well‑executed BBQ, this place deserves a spot on your list.

It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. The brand of root beer probably to blame. Coming back home, we stopped again. Same Butterfinger Shake, but this time I wanted something with chocolate in it and ended up with a medium Cherry Mudslide. First, I can't imagine getting a larger (although I probably will next time haha) because the medium is pretty big considering how much toppings are included. It was probably the best ice cream treat I've ever had. I seriously might have to drive back to Spangles to get it again (probably not, but definitely will find Spangles when I'm out and about again and order the same thing). One star off for how messy it was when it was handed to me. I'm in a car with all this goop flowing out because the put the lid on with cherries and stuff on the rim of the cup. I ended up basically making a diaper out of 100 napkins to protect myself and the car.
