Everyone raves about this restaurant and I've been curious for awhile about the fare. Today a…read morefriend and I decided to go for lunch. I am not going to be one of those who raves. They have a vast menu and they have breakfast service. The food was good, prepared to order and served timely. There is no table service. Your order is prepared and they call your name to come pickup at a window. The restaurant is easily accessible and there is ample parking. Everything looked clean and neat. The problem I have with this restaurant is the price and overall pricing structure. This restaurant is very pricey. Nothing is included, either. Fries aren't included with a cheeseburger, for example. You would think that the price they charge, they would throw in an extra or two. I know they don't give free fries at large franchise places but this is another type of restaurant. So by the time you order main item plus a side plus a pricey fountain drink, this is a costly place. My cheeseburger didn't feel cooked all the way through. No one comes to the table to make sure your order is okay. It just felt empty against the hype backdrop. I'll give it another try but I'm sure prices won't have gone down.

Jacks is a non-pretentious restaurant which is locally owned. They offer simple fare. Burgers,…read moresalads, tenders, wings. Nothing fancy here. The food is very good. They have ample portions, too. The care for the customer is high on their list, too. I had an incorrect order once and staff did their best to accommodate me. There was one time my order was very slow getting to the table and the manager came over and spoke to me directly about the delay. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is easy to access. They have carside delivery which makes things super handy. This is also a great place to watch sports. They have so many televisions and it's a nice way to see sports. A friend and I come here often to watch games. Prices are reasonable and in line with product. No complaints. This is the type of restaurant where you immediately feel at home.

Best bar & grille on the east side of Lawrence, hands down. Here's what's good:…read more The food is always fresh. Great selections, great specials. Family friendly, good kids' menu. Big bar, great service. And big - like, really big - screens for sportsball. What's not to like? It's a bar & grille, so you're not rolling into something with Michelin stars or Zagat's mentions. But the food is really good and the atmosphere is always relaxed (unless the local sportsballers are in peril). I'd suggest a plate of wings, with sauce varieties ranging from the dry rubs & mild to the hottest, which is a habanero blend. Insider tip: ask for your wings to be done 'Danza style', which is where they cook the wings, sauce the wings, then throw them on the grill for that extra char. Spectacular! Specials run every day, and some of them are better than others. For instance, kids eat free on Wednesdays with the purchase of a regular menu entree, Mondays are burger specials, and Saturdays are a KC strip special, which hits you with the salad, steak, & baked potato for $16 - that's a steal. Bar specials are also daily, whether happy hours or featured pints. There is something for everyone and you will get ample portions. It's THE place in east Lawrence to catch the Jayhawks, Chiefs, or, uh, even the Royals with a ginormous 22' screen adorning the east wall. Great spot!

We ordered it with entrees but fries came out as appetizer -- I guess because for Happy hour it's an app! Burger & salad came after we had gotten through almost half the fries. Portion size was good for the small salad, though I needed more dressing. Burger was thick and saucy. Server was attentive and honest that she's not sure when we tried to ask advice on directions (we're from out of state). My son will likely be going back after he moves here to attend KU.

We ordered the family dinner, with fried pickles & onion rings as our sides. Smoked turkey & brisket are what we always get for our generous half pound meat choices. We also added a slab of ribs (we have teenagers). Once again, everything was hot & fresh, crispy or soft and smoky; all as expected. No food leftover between the 4 of us. Just finger-licking food at VERY reasonable prices. The staff were- as always- cheerful & knowledgable, and we got a variety of their house-made bbq sauces. My fav is the hot vinegar, but to each his own! This will continue to be our go-to for Lawrence bbq.

If someone is ordering a pizza from someplace, and someone else wants wings with it, then we get them from Lawrence Ks Wing Co. It's just how it is. I have no idea what the place looks like. I've never been to the store personally. I have no idea if the staff is friendly and helpful. I've only ordered online. The only thing I know is that if I want some wings, then they are the go to source... ...unless it's outside their business hours - for instance right now as I write this at lunchtime on a Thursday... dang it! Apparently they are too good for lunch. Most of the time, the wings are perfect. The only complaint we have ever had was once they were a bit dry/overcooked. But we ate them anyway. So yeah. Eat some Lawrence Ks Wing Co wings.

Full stop. Best wings in Lawrence, hands down. Not even close…read more And yet, not even on the radar. But there's a reason for this. This tiny postage stamp of a kitchen is tucked inside the dive bar Lucia downtown on the east side of the street between 10th and 11th. Not particularly a hopping kind of bar, but has a somewhat active live music scene that occurs mostly between Thursday and Saturday nights. So if you're going to base your entire business on one product, you'd better be on your A game all the time, because there's plenty of competition in this college town. These folks are ON it. Mission accomplished. Split a dozen boneless wings, crunch Thai with a friend. Couldn't believe it. An hour or so later I ordered another dozen. Both times we were told "we'll have it in the window in 6 minutes." And, you guessed it, 6 minutes later there they were, with ranch and blue cheese dipping sauces and plenty of napkins. How good are they? If you're calling in delivery (which I observed) or carry-out from that place with the Buffalo logo, please... just stop and reward yourself properly. Now I'm finding out they open specifically for KU basketball games. Talk about the perfect place to watch, because there's lots of space, there's an outdoor area if you wish to escape the dive bar part (which is kind of cool, actually), and plenty of TV screens. Good line-up of beer, full bar, world class wings. What's to not like? So good we plan to make it a destination for dinner this week. You'd walk by the tiny window they have on the street and never give it a second thought, like I did many times. Time to rectify that. These folks deserve our collective business.
