    The Bird with fries
    Adam S.

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint!…read moreStarted with the Ahi Nachos and I could have a whole plate of those! Great balance, flavor and presentation. I was feeling something lighter, so ordered the Fattoush Salad and added salmon for a dinner meal and it was very good, though didn't wow me like my guy was raving about his burger! They had their wine menu on an iPad (wide selection + easily updated) that had everything from fancy bottles to affordable glasses. Don't skip the cheesecake if they have it either!

    Always enjoyed coming here during my time studying at Kansas State…read more This breakfast joint is very cozy, with some of the best eggs and dishes I've ever had for a breakfast place. The decor, and aesthetic are well thought out, with indoor and outdoor spaces to eat, and the staff is very welcoming and don't mind talking. Jacob was my server at the Chef and he was on top of everything, helped with ordering and answered any questions I had. I chose the special for the day, the Cuban Bennie, and I'm glad he talked me into it. I will say if you can get there before it opens and can make it in at opening time, do it, because by the time we had ordered and finished the line was starting. Time to order, and receive food was ~ 20 min, coffee remained filled as was water. If you're visiting or a local, highly recommend this cozy breakfast place.

    Great day in the morning beautiful people of Yelpsville. Thank you for sharing a moment of this…read morefine life we're living, together. The 250th anniversary of being the new kids on the blue marble is upon us. My fam decided to make a pilgrimage back to the wifes stomping grounds. The heartland, Kansas. We're staying in the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Ks. Home of K-State University. Well also home of The Chef, which should be just as famous and endeared. The Chef is this gorgeous, chic, yet not so that it's kitschy diner in the heart of the main district of Manhattan. A classic diner, from the hospitality of the service staff, to the lunch counter with cute doodads for salt and pepper shakers. You've been here, because you've been home, or so it feels. Yes, be prepared to snuggle in for a teensy wait, because everyone loves home cooking, especially when someone else is doing the dishes afterwards. The portions are truly well beyong the prices. I ordered a CFS, smothered in sausage gravy. Was plated a Texas sized portion, thick steak, lightly crispily breaded, with a savory southern styled country gravy that honestly looked a bit intimidating in quantity, but I'm no fraidy cat. I came to conquer. Two perfectly running over medium eggs, whites done, yolks on the run, my style. A mountain of softly crunchy, better-than-homestyle fried potatoes, and a slice of thick cut wheat toast. This was a ton O' grub Bubba dub. Each component treated and seasoned well enough, to eat stand alone. Our meal partner kept checking on the family to see if we needed any more of that rich Arabica bean juice, or water, with the care of your fav Auntee from Mississippi, but right here, in the Land of Ahhhhs. She was winning us, even as much as The Chef that prepared the feast itself, and the food. Whew. The belly beat down was in effect, but I didn't tap out. I took that esophageal excitement with relish. Well not relish, with a sweet house made strawberry compote on toast. I wiped the plate clean. $15. You read that right... just $15. Oh I understand $15 is real money in this economy, but in relationship to the level of service, quality of service, epic portion sizes, and the finesse with which this small diner beat most anywhere we've been, and we share 39 years of worldwide travel as an old married couple, this was a bargain at $15, in the 90s. For sure back home in Texas this was honestly a $21 - $26 plate, and we're a beef producing state. Still with me? You're the real hero for hanging in here, and I truly appreciate you. If ever you want to taste Americas 250 years, in one sitting, visit The Chef in Manhattan, Ks. It's families feeding the community. No political spin, no feeling unwelcomed. An open door, to open hearts, feeding hungry bellies, without crushing your purses and wallets. They leave room in your account to make you want to reciprocate with generosity in returning, but also, tipping heartfully, without pressure. I miss when a meal was worth tipping huge without feeling it wasn't worth it. Here at the Chef, the earn it the old way. Be well, be loved, we're in this life past this page no matter what social media tells you. Hugs to you from me and mine. Go out and smile like ya mean it. Laugh like you're cray cray, and love like tomorrow isn't coming. Want pics? Nope. This place is worth you seeing for yourself. My pictures wouldn't do them justice. Peace y'all.
