The prime rib... prepared perfect & on point, & served without much of a wait. Impressive. strawberry cheesecake was indulgent & creamy. This is definitely one of the treasures of Hays, Ks. Well done. To My server Miss Ella, Thank you for the most perfect service of all dining establishments I have experienced in my 50 years. Great job! - Roy Coates Stratford, Ok.”

“Where else are you going to get your cheeseburger accompanied by a 32 ounce oreo shake, chocolate cream pie and lemon meringue pie? Even my beautiful wife loved it.”

“This is our stop round-trip between Illinois and Colorado every couple months. The menu of homemade comfort food at affordable prices is a gem of a place. Today I had a bowl of green bean dumpling soup and my husband had chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese on French bread, but there are other bread choices. See you on our way back to Illinois!”

“Best Mexican in Hays! Fantastic service! I always get the California Burrito.”

“Road trip brought us here to Hays Kansas. Unplanned and completely random stoping for gas and decided on a meal as well. Stopped in for dinner on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised with a very good pork adobo, fresh pansit, lumpia and some right out of the oven Ube pan de sal with cheese. Polite staff and quiet atmosphere.”

“Real authentic Mexican food. Friendly service, push out orders in a timely fashion, food and taste are NEVER lacking! Call in orders quick and efficient in Spanish AND English! Salsas are flavor packed and with just the right amount of heat! Locally owned business, these owners should be extremely proud of this food truck!”

“Great coffee, relaxing vibes, and fantastic servers! Thank you!!”

“Katie was all about excellent customer service no matter what the weather was. Big smile, helpful attitude, and making this an excellent experience. Her whole team was wearing bulky equipment to protect them from the weather and they did not miss a beat. Now that is how you run a successful business with great employees.”

To my surprise earlier a very nice gentleman had already paid for my dinner. Hays, KS has the nicest people. A big thank you to whomever paid for my meal!!!!”

“went in there. waiter was so cute”

“Their food is usually pretty good. One complaint I do have is that I witnessed the cook touched my burger with his bare hands, no gloves. He placed it in the microwave and pulled it out with his bare hands. I find that unsanitary and unprofessional.”

“Food is awesome but the two working were to busy flirting with each other to notice anyone even came in . Then they made the pizza incorrectly. The one kid didn't here anything I said.”

“Fantastic Japanese food. Excellent service. Our family, travelling through on vacation, enjoyed gyoza, takoyaki, the fire lobster roll, a teriyaki salmon bento, chicken teriyaki, and chicken yakisoba. Having lived a short time in Japan, we came to love the flavors and dishes and Osaki did not disappoint. Recommend!”

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.”

“Nice place. Haven’t been in this bar since the 80s. Don’t remember what it was called then, but it’s specialty then was it’s hot sausages and they still have them. Kinda cool.”

“The best hamburgers and chicken in town, sooo good! Highly recommend trying if you haven’t already!”

“Taco Tuesday, tried the tacos and nachos they are fantastic”

“Went and grabbed a quick bit to eat . Our waitress was a young girl name Alexis she was a amazing like she need to be on the floor al the time instead n the kitchen cause there not a lot of great help there since Daniel left. She was a great at her costumer service. KUDOS TO ALEXIS”

“Good pricing, large taste portions, quick and friendly service. I did not see the bottom of my coffee cup ... nice!!!”

“Wwow!! Cervs is very clean, a friendly staff and above all... the gas pump area was large and easily accessible. Thank you!!”

“Okay for real!!! Hays KS maybe a sleeper town, but you gotta stop here for gas eventually.
My wife and I are big foodies and travel all around the world just to try cuisine.
We never stop at fast food and try local establishments first.

This place is Panda Express (which I refuse to eat at) on a new level! We both got their orange chicken (another thing I typically never order). It was made fresh per order and it was actually delicious. The portion sizes are massive and the flavor was 100x’s better than a typical Asian Buffett version.

Believe me. Stop and try this place.”

“The steamer I had was amazing! I asked for whipped cream on it after I got it, but it came out like liquid. The lady working there was really nice and remade the whole thing for me!”

“Like many others I have been coming here since the 1970s. That used to bottle their sauce and sell it. it’s the best. They also used to have shaved ice.”

“Pretty good food, I had a taco salad without dairy and it was good. Definitely recommend.”

“The food had gotten to where I didt find it that great, and I stopped giving after being a frequent customer. I decided to give them another try a couple of months ago and the burger and home cut fries were delicious. The burger was seasoned well and the home c cut fries were crunchy on the outside and there was no fryer oil. On the post these fries were often soggy with cooking oil and that is partly why I quit going. I went again just recently and again had a cheeseburger, home cut fries, and s side of fried mushroom. The mushrooms were nicely fried, light batter and no cooking oil mess. The food was great. I spoke with the cook and praised him for the great food. He told me that he was able to make some changes in the kitchen and it really shows. It was obvious to me that the cook is passionate about turning out high quality, flavorful food. I now recommend Sip n Spin, the food is even better than it was at its best. The interior leaves a little to be desired and it could use an update as could the booths. The atmosphere was fine for a lunch crowd.”

“Great Experience At this Location in Hayes”. Impressive operation . Plenty of Work staff . very Clean. Got through there Lunch Rush like Clockwork 😃😃”

“You don't expect to find the best Arby's ever on a family road trip, but alas, here we are. The service was truly exceptional and the food was so good and so fresh. Very clean eating area and bathrooms. Thanks for being such a chill part of our trip!”

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)”

“Fantastic experience. Space was neat, clean with a super cool vibe. Service was great: they checked on us several times but always at the right times, they were welcoming, and friendly. The signature BBQ sauce was spot on, not too sweet, not to tangy, and simply deliciously balanced. We tried several meats inc ribs and chopped brisket and I 100% recommend!”

“Delicious pizza and excellent service!! Stopped here last night all the way from Virginia while on the way to Denver. It was amazing!”

“horrible food greasy trash. I contacted them after spending over $ 45 dollars on food . told them about my order. they said you can have one free small ice-cream. ! o wow thanks guys thats so lame .”

“We weren’t sure if we would be able to be served when we arrived 30 minutes before they closed. But they took really good care of us. The steaks were amazing and the service was excellent. They even served us complimentary ice cream since it was Mother’s Day the next day.”

“I hate fast food. But!!!! This place was clean the lady was super awesome after I bothered her 4 times fo different things. The reason for 4 Stars and the people not in any form from the food. Hopefully one day fast food won't poison us.”

“Excellent food and friendly service!! I highly recommend!”

“we are now serving breakfast come see us guys”

“Super great place for a quick , cheap yet great quality meal. Ordered a taco salad. Was ready in 3 minutes. Food was super great. Staff was friendly and the place was clean.”
