    Raspberry bean dip
    Caitie A.

    Came in for lunch and was very impressed with this place. The inside is pretty small but we were able to get a table quickly even though it was packed inside. After eating, I see why it was packed. This place is great! We just HAD to try the "world famous" raspberry bean dip. You should too! I've been thinking about it ever since! Their burger menu is pretty impressive and they had several I want to try. However, I landed on the Aloha burger (thinking warm thoughts during this brisk Kansas winter). It was pretty tasty! Get the raspberry bean dip. I've been thinking about it since we had lunch. The vibe: Old timey saloon meets tombstone.

    The Bird with fries

    So Long is a MHK staple, and for good reason. Great atmosphere, great people, and great food. It is usually busy (for good reason), so be prepared to wait. Luckily, on my most recent visit, my girlfriend and I were able to be seated immediately. If you've never had a Nancy (light beer with a splash of pineapple juice), go ahead and order that first while you look at the menu. It isn't well known outside of Aggieville unless you are a KSU alum. Then order the raspberry chipotle black bean dip. It sounds odd, but is super good. On this visit, I tried "The Bird", which is a southwest chicken sandwich on a hoagie roll. It was super filling, and between that and the dip, I wasn't able to finish everything. Must stop in Aggieville (at least during the daylight hours).

    Resist Temptation Burger add avocado with onion rings

    Fun atmosphere great service. I'm still trying to get used to paying over $20 for a hamburger, but the flavor was fantastic. The options are unique and the quality is there. I will be back and they focus on what they do well cheeseburgers, and drinks

    Grilled steak and cheddar which was mostly bread and grilled onions.

    Visiting with a local who said we had to order the raspberry chipotle black bean dip and he was right. It was amazing. I went with the steak and cheddar sandwich and while it was tasty, there wasn't a ton of steak on it. The potato salad was divine with egg and bacon bits in it. Drinks standardly subpar and exactly what you'd expect for a college bar. Although the hostess was quite surly, we had great service at the table. It's a small joint so it can get pretty loud but at least during dinner tables seemed to rotate pretty quickly and we only had a short wait to be seated. It is mostly high tops with backless stools but they were wide, solid and padded so it wasn't too bad. But not the most comfortable.

    Well I love this festival so maybe that means this place will be one of my favorite stops in MHK

    I mean they have a Woody Guthrie poster on the wall. I am coming back for that. This visit was for drinks and appetizers. Will have to come back again for more food. Margarita- great Chips and guacamole- good Bean dip not a favorite with our family but others seem to like it.

    Really good bar with great burgers and excellent slaw. Great place to visit when in town to visit KState. Really good service particularly busy they were. Sadly had to work an event after lunch so I couldn't try the beer here but the ices tea was great too.

    Temptation Burger and Fries
    Sam B.

    The restaurant was a little smaller than I expected, but it was definitely packed full of character, as well as patrons. The staff were all very friendly and provided good service. My wife and I shared chips and queso as an appetizer. Both the chips and the queso were very good. The only thing I would have changed would be giving the queso just a little kick to it. For our meals, we both got the temptation burger with fries as a side. She ordered hers as is, but I substituted the mayo for bourbon bbq sauce. It was truly a really good burger. In my opinion the fries were fine, however they left a little bit to be desired. I really like fries with some sort of seasoning or topping on them. Overall I would recommend and we will be going back!

    Chili Cheese Burger with Onion Rings, and fries
    Travis T.

    The Chili Cheese Burger was super delicious, and so did the Onion Rings and the fries. The service was a little slow since the restaurant was quite busy. Regardless, I enjoyed my experience there.

Colorful, maximalist, and funky! I was greeted instantly by the bartender and we talked about the inspiration of the place, and how the sound system was right on for the theme.

    I am a student at Kansas State. Naturally, this is not my average meal as I would consider this…read morepretty pricey. However, it was worth every penny that my family spent on my birthday, ha. I love eating for free. Being in downtown MHK, it's a relatively small joint. However, the spacing is easy to navigate, and the decor is very mature. They take themselves seriously, as they should! Anywho, tapas is a very European dining style, with small plates designed to not fill you immediately, so you're able to try several items on the menu in one night. After several visits now, I can say with full confidence that everything on the menu is worth trying and worth the money. The drinks are well measured and nicely balanced. They have experienced staff who know their menu, in the sense that their explanations are very informative. Please, treat yourself and get that basque cheesecake. It's pretty amazing! I'd recommend this to any alumni or parent taking a weekend to watch the cats give a beat down on the gridiron, and looking for a nice, memorable dinner with the family. Once again, students beware! This one isn't cheap! Lol.

The fam always loves this place and you should never let down the fam. Just frickin pleasant and ish XD

    Wine Dive Kitchen is a lovely restaurant in downtown Manhattan…read more I found them on OpenTable and booked a reservation for dinner on a Friday night. We were able to get in at 8:15. It was a little late, but they were super busy with a large party in a private room. Once we got in and got seated, the delightful server took excellent care of us. My wife wasn't really hungry so she just nibbled off my plate. I started with a half of a wedge salad, which was delicious. They had a special on a piece of paper that night, which was a smoked pastrami, burnt ends sandwich with homemade rye bread. It was glorious! Very creative and fun. Since I don't love fries, they were kind enough to substitute deviled eggs as my side dish. I didn't know there would be an up charge for that but it's okay because they were delicious. We each had two drinks from the bar and they were made very well. They have a huge wine, seller and a great selection as one would expect by the name of the place. This restaurant has other locations in Lawrence and Wichita and I would eat at any of the three. Very cool menu and an amazing wine selection. This is really good food.

    We started off with attitude from the host because I did not include my 5 month old granddaughter…read morein the reservation count. Mind you, the restaurant was basically empty....maybe 4 tables the entire time we were there. On a Kstate game day no less. We very obviously did NOT need a reservation. ‍ Then, we got a snarky attitude from our server for asking for a side of simple syrup for my DIL's unsweetened tea. WTH??!? He had previously been super nice up until that point. He snarkily informed me that he could do that but there would be a charge. Whatever. It was 50 cents for an ounce of sugar water. Anyway, the food was "okay", nothing to write home about. My DIL did really like her burger and our deviled eggs appetizer was great. Something really weird was my scrambled eggs had tiny bits of sausage scrambled into them. I did not like them at all and nowhere on the menu does it indicate there will be sausage in the scrambled eggs. I definitely would not return and do not recommend. Not a very pleasant experience.
