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.

My wife searched for a local place to try and picked Cattleman's Cafe III. We pulled into Hays around 11 a.m., only to realize the restaurant didn't open until 11:30, so we drove around town for a little while before heading back. Once we went in, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who seated us right away and took our drink order. We both had iced tea. My wife ordered the pot roast with a side salad, and I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn. When the food arrived, everything looked amazing. My wife said the pot roast was so tender it was falling apart while she cut it. My chicken fried steak was the same way -- honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. The first bite was excellent. The meat was very tender and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and corn were also very good, and my wife really enjoyed her meal as well. This place was excellent, and we are very glad we decided to stop here. Even the local people sitting next to us were friendly and enjoyable to talk with, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to learn something new and meet good people while traveling. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stop in again for another meal.

My husbands drink was made incorrectly and he received some kick back when he brought that up to the bartender. We've been to several fuzzys in several states and the beer rita has never been made like this so I don't know why the bartender claimed it was how it is in the recipe book. My breakfast tacos were supposed to have (according to the menu both in store and online) eggs, pico, chorizo, bacon, cheese and garlic aïoli . They showed up a greasy tortilla filled with just meat and cheese. I had to go back up to the counter and request my other ingredients and literally just made my own tacos at the table. My husband's quesadilla was literally dripping liquid to the point that he squeezed out what he could, wrapped it in napkins and said he'd just "fix it when we got home". We ended up walking across the parking lot and dining at Applebees where we received cheaper food and drinks and MUCH better service. It's a spacious restaurant with a cute patio so not all bad

As someone who leans vegetarian, my choices are fairly limited, but what they do well has been consistently solid. The fried rice has always been good, and the portions are generous enough to make for plenty of leftovers. Their bowls are also tasty, filling, and reheat well -- another plus. They have a good selection of Boba and I've tried a few. Delicious and hits the spot in the summer. This is a takeout/drive-thru only with no option to dine-in. Recommend ordering ahead and picking up if you don't like waiting in the drive-thru. Glad they came back after being shutdown for a while last summer. Overall, a reliable spot that's earned its place in my regular rotation.
