17 Best Burger Restaurants in Hays

“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.“

“I've been to Defiance three times now and have zero complaints. The staff is friendly, the environment is perfectly mellow, the music is what I listen to at home, and both the food and beer are amazing. I've tried different meals all three visits and they're all great, but I can't get myself to order any other appetizer except for the cheese curds with the garlic sauce. Those babies are heavenly! As for the beer, I'm not a beer drinker, but Defiance's craft beer sets a different standard. I've tried the oatmeal stout, the brown ale, and the amber ale with all three being amazing enough that a non-beer drinker is highly impressed. (Apologies for not remembering the fun names.) Thank you for existing. You feel like a home away from home.“

Daughter accidentally dropped her sister’s lunch all over and came to our rescue! Will definitely be back.“

“This little place was fun. We happened to be there on Karaoke night. Hamburger and fries were awesome. Fresh cut, thick slice of tomato, tasted homegrown. The mozzarella sticks are a MUST! Chicken friend steak was a bit greasy, gravy was thin. The waitress tried to check on us, but was also tending the bar.“

“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“

“Drive thru order. Came at night (dark out), and the outside lights were not on, making it look like they were closed. We mentioned it when we got to the window and was blown off as if we were bothering them. We got our order and asked another question, and when answering, the girl (short blonde hair) acted like we were the last people on earth that she wanted to talk to. Our order was correct, and it was tasty, but the service needs some help.“
