At any rate, we were welcomed by a wonderful server, she was attentive and so nice. On a side note, she handed us the credit card machine to pay, and quickly walked away when we got to the tip screen to give us space without pressuring us. A nice reprieve in the current tipping culture:) But to the most important part - the bbq! Everything was absolutely delicious. I had chicken, husband had meatloaf. All of our side choices were so good. And they have a lovely patio too!

Went all in on the two best things on the menu: the fried chicken and the chicken fried steak…read more The fried chicken was perfectly crispy, not greasy at all, and piping hot and juicy inside. This is the kind of place that's been frying chicken for 50+ years and absolutely knows what they're doing. And the pie... honestly spectacular. Probably the best pie I've ever had. I can't think of another place that even holds a candle to it. The peach pie is made with fresh real peaches, and the five berry pie is loaded with real fruit -- not canned filling. 100% worth the stop. You should go here.

Usually I get as far as emporia that's the first time I've dropped down to Wichita too This place has been here for loads of years it is still a classic roadside diner vibe off of the bypass. The lady that owns in her family also work here they do a really good job of keeping everything up for what they have. It's like walking in the Easter year though it probably hasn't been remodeled since they took it over I don't think it's actually been remodeled since the late 80s but that's all right. When you walk in you're very feel welcomed you're welcome sit wherever you want they have two different dining room areas. I came in with a rumbling stomach that was just starting to growl and I was ready for some good old home cooking. So I ordered up a nice good cuz I knew they made a nice hand patted chicken fried steak. I had to taste for french fries and gravy brown gravy on the whole shebang. She also made me a nice fresh salad with lettuce tomato cucumber and cheese was very good too before the meal. They were having some water issues a boil order wasn't effect so there wasn't any soda available on the day I was there that afternoon and they did make cawfee though so I had that. Problem was the iced tea wasn't iced tea it was just hot tea they put it into the cooler they had just started making it. . She brought out the salad it was really nice quite filling. And the chicken fried steak dinner came out it was fantastic they gave me some extra fries I think I didn't ask for it but they were definitely quite a few fries to brown gravy was nice and hot. I left with a very happy belly That's one of the things I miss about that way a lot of times when I used to go out to places West California Arizona we're coming through Kansas I would avoid that Kansas turnpike and work my way across all the way to Hutchinson. And I used to like to stop in here because there is plenty of parking for trucks it's a dirt lot but that doesn't really matter it's just classic little small town in the middle of nowhere farmland. They also take major credit cards no problem. But it definitely was nice to see and I definitely enjoyed my meal and I'm rating the full five bar of stars all the way across like many other people who review here on Yelp basically realize you can't judge a book by its cover. They're very pleasantly surprised when you read their reviews also.

Ordered the KC steak special and requested medium rare. I can tell as soon as it was delivered it was going to be overcooked. Sure enough it was more of medium to medium well. It wasn't the worst thing and I wasn't going to send it back. The rough part was the steak was overly seasoned heavy with salt. I felt like I was eating a salt lick and couldn't even finish it. Maybe some of the other food is ok but for the price and taste, I wouldn't recommend.

Although the museum portion was eye-pleasing and had artifacts relating to Kansas in the 19th century, the food was just alright and portions were small.
