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.

Great place for a good fat burger. Went in today March 4th. The young man at the front was polite and the other cashier was a young lady that brought me my.food, was very courteous and gave service with a smile. The cook in the back made a great burger with perfectly placed toppings. I will definitely be back. Thanks guys

Old fashioned burgers and milkshakes. A locals favorite
OK, here's the facts. You must stop here if you are near Hays Kansas! We had hamburgers, malts, and a salt-free patty for our puppy. This is not our first time here, and won't be the last. If you are on I-70, call ahead about 15 minutes and make the drive down South on the main drag. Get away from the interstate and have "real food" cooked to perfection. I posted my pictures and they have a paper menu if you ask to take with you. You can mix any two milk shake flavors for $0.25, a quarter. I can't say enough good things. The awning is large and covers the entire car on hot days or in the rain. I love this place! Also, there is a great Starbucks on the way down there, hint hint. Check it out! PS , they are closed on Mondays so plan your trips accordingly.
I have enjoyed eating at Vernie's since I was a kid. That's about 20 years of enjoying their food. The burgers are always hot and delicious. The shakes are amazing. The people that work there are friendly. Lately, they've had some odd hours. This is because of being short staffed. They're actively hiring but help has not been found. I'm not one to complain because I don't know what's happening behind the scene. 5 stars all around! There's a reason they've been open for over 50 years!
Right now it is very concerning that is limited hours when you can dine there anymore. Just take out after 2:45. Today Wednesday August 21 had closed until 12:15. Aren't you losing business this way?. Since this is the third time since July I tried to eat there and being closed for short periods of time this will be the last time. I have so loved dining here thru the years. Maybe hire more than high schoolers. I understand it is a place where high schoolers can work but still I have since people walk out the door when they couldn't dine in. Let's gear toward the customers please.
