13 Best American Restaurants in Hays

“bustling with life, they were busy, & were still able to seat tables adequately. my sevice was perfectly precise on her recommendation. 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.“

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

“I think it has moved to the best burger in Hays, and the fries were delicious.“

“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“

“This little diner seems to be one of the hot spots in town. While a bit further of a drive from I-70 then other options, it is worth it and honestly only a few minutes more. Pulling up you get an old diner drive-in feel and you can dine-in or drive-thru. We were given a warm welcome and the staff was eager to answer any questions, plus give suggestions. You can tell that the left window is the main spot to order at the counter....then find your seat on red and metal chairs or red booths. On the brown tabletops you will find ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. It was super nice to have coloring books and crayons to help keep the littles entertained, with one of the staff making sure to point such out to us. The Mozzarella sticks were some of the best I have had in sometime, the burger patties - I believe - were hand-shaped, and the bacon for the BLT was nice and crispy. I so liked that the buns was toasted, but I would have preferred more tomatoes. The shakes were tasty, but two people would probably be fine sharing one....if they can agree on the flavor. This is one of those places we will remember for future passes through Hays.“

“a great local place for dinner and local brewed beer. I tried their amber ale which was very tasty. For dinner I had the half grilled chicken salad and agave glazed carrots, carrots were outstanding. It was too much food for a dinner meal, I'm glad I didn't get the full salad portion. My wife had the brewben, (reuben) sandwich with garlic fries, the sandwich was ok and the garlic fries were great! The restaurant is set in 2 old downtown shops, a wall was knocked out for the seating area. They have a wide selection of food and beers, stop here for a tasty meal that won't leave you hungry as you continue your journey!“

“Always a great experience! Jocelyn is wonderful! Always remembers my family and me! Great environment! Great variety of food — boscoes and ranch are my FAV!!!“

“I will always recommend TRIO to anyone that has the opportunity! Friendly service and great food!“

“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.“

“Such a fun atmosphere. The food is delicious and the people there are some of the kindest you'll meet!! The mushroom taco salad is my favorite!“

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

“This place was small but nice. The dance floor was so cool!! And the dj booth was disguised as a bus which i thought was very interesting. There was a small stage and a sort of like go-go dancer cage on the dance floor, as well as a small stage box up on the bar with a pole that customers can use 😉 Music was good too. Mostly throwback 90s and 2000s.“

“Absolutely the BEST #IHOP We have been to our entire lives! Extremely clean, Leea by herself being hostess and waitress is so friendly and welcoming, working the floor like a champ not leaving anyone“
