10 Best American Restaurants near Baxter Springs

“we loved their home cooked meals! The people who run it as super friendly. We felt right at home.“

“Update: the owner reached out and apologized for our experience so that shows he does care. I’m sure we will be back with the new staff. I appreciate the owner taking the time to find me on Facebook. It was that extra step that meant a lot

We have been coming here for the last 6 years. The last several trips it’s just been getting worse… but this last time was by far the worst dining experience I have ever had. I’m generally not one to leave a bad review but this place has really gone down hill. We sit down at about 7:15 on a Saturday. There was a birthday party that was finishing up and about 4 tables. Our server comes up after a few minutes, takes our drink order and tells us burgers are going to take up to 30-45 minutes because they cook has to make the patties first. We said that was fine but we will need an appetizer so we ordered one. We both finished our beers and watched as food was coming out to all the other tables. The table behind us was extremely irritated because they had been there for an hour and a half waiting on their food. After 45 minutes… our server comes running by with someone else’s food and asks my dad if he wants another beer but doesn’t actually stop. Guess what…. She didn’t come back with a beer and didn’t come back to ask. Finally, she comes back with our burgers. It’s been 50 minutes….. we have a toddler with us who is super hungry at this point. Her hot dog looked like something that had been sitting on a roller at a gas station. She sets our food down and says the cook forgot to put our appetizer in so there won’t be a charge for that. I responded with “obviously we won’t be charged for food we don’t have.” Yes, it was caddy but she was too busy talking to the cook and other people at the bar to noticed that (at this point there were 2 tables) one of her tables didn’t have their appetizers after almost an hour! The waitress was very rude at this point. We ended up walking out without even touching our food. Every time we are there, they are completely under staffed. I’ve known several of the previous waitresses and they all say the same thing… the owner doesn’t care. I’ll say it again… by far the WORST dining experience. We will not be back. Which is sad because it’s the only place to get a burger in this town that isn’t sonic or McDonald’s.“

“Very friendly owners, small but tasty menu items. Very cool story about the place and its connection/inspiration to the movie Cars!“

“We just moved here from California a week ago and ran into this cafe…the smell coming from the smoker brings you right in the door! The best BBQ we’ve had in a while! This is by far our new favorite place…ate there two days in a row and can’t wait to go back to try something new!“

“Delicious! Fast service they only accept cash“

“Great coffee yesterday, and loved the ambiance, I’ll be back.“

“Best biscuits n gravy n town“

“My cousin introduced me to Butter Bunns years ago. Absolutely awesome food and service then. Every time I come down and visit my family, this is where I come for breakfast. Outstanding food and the waitress are so friendly. So worth it.“

“Stopped by with the family while traveling. Great service by Johnny. Steaks and prime rib were. delicious and cooked to perfection. Also, recommend the Mikes messy burger.“
