“Excellent food and beautiful patio. We had a bit of trouble getting a server. Fish and chips fresh and crunchy tasty tarter sauce. The waffle chips are truly delicious. Brussel sprout appetizer generous, sweet and zesty. All of our beers were good. Had to find a server again for boxes and a bill.”

“If you’re looking for something different or unique, then look no further! High quality cocktails served in a very unique style.”

“A lovely atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, and very delicious drinks. We were all very satisfied with five different drinks! My family cannot wait to go back.”

“Trivia Night was Fun, got last place, didn’t care”

“This is one of my favorite spots in town. Food and drinks are incredible and the service is always on point. It’s the perfect blend of your local neighborhood spot but also has an intimate vibe.”

“Pane e Vino is excellent. The homemade pasta was wonderful. The wild boar was an absolute treat. I have never had better polenta.”

“We had a wonderful experience for our wedding anniversary!!! The food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing and the service was on point!!!”

“Great service, good quality food and excellent atmosphere”

“they dont know how to make sushi no taste and no taste the rolls was unroll. like a kid making the sushi rolls. I wont come back for sure to spend my money. this is the third place I went in Lawrence,KS. is really bad. maybe their food is good for college kids. I visit Lawrence very often my grownup kid lives there.”

“We had margherita pizza, 2 salads and 2 cocktails. No complaints (unusual for me). Everything was prepared to our liking and the service was exceptional too.”

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.”

“Stopped in to feel the vibe on Wed Feb 18th around 630pm, it was empty but they had a live music and he was amazing! The bartender was so friendly. She advised the full kitchen wouldnt be up running until the week of March 1. She said they are busy on weekends with college crowd and have great drink specials then. They have a dance floor which im super excited about. There hasn't been a country place with a dance floor since the Cadilac Ranch! im aging myself....But glad to have this place and hope they can get it going and last here!”

“Great lunch specials and service. Will definitely be back.”

“Always kind and friendly! The people who work here work hard and well and do a good job making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. They're amazing at what they do and I can't wait to come back.”

“A great place stop over. The Jayhawker is a fun place for dining.”

“This is a fine restaurant with one exception. We felt very rushed throughout the meal. Menus were handed to us before we even sat down and it went downhill. On at least three occasions I had to speak up and ask the servers to slow down and stop being so attentive so we could enjoy out meal and conversation. Every time I started a conversation with my son. whom we had not seen in awhile, someone interrupted with some trivial question. I am used to dining where the servers are essentially unobtrusive until needed. I am prepared to give this restaurant a try again because I did like the food. However, I am taking another couple out to clebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and I am going to be very up front about the service expected before we sit down. I get that "turn" is the name of the game but this isn't a fast food joint. If they expect to have repeat business with the older and well-heeled crowd they need to be a little more attentive to the needs of their customers.”

“We'd never been to this establishment before and decided to give it a try after a long day. We got there about an hour to closing and asked to be seated outside. Our waitress, a KU student, was fabulous. She was just the right amount of attentive. Even though we were there close to closing, we never felt rushed. The food was very good and plentiful, and the drinks were also excellent!”

“Not your typical express pizza stop . Believe me guys these people do it with their heart. Freshness all the way. They’ll make you a custom order for small or large pizzas and like other express pizza stops they don’t let old shit sit on the hot shelf , they keep replacing if anything sits to fresh one.”

“I am so disappointed in Hyvee Bakery. I’ve been ordering my son and daughter’s birthday cakes there for many years and the cakes have always been perfect! Not this year. My daughter’s cake was sloppilu made and lopsided. What happened to Hy-Vee’s impeccable cakes? 😞 I still recommend Hy-Vee but the bakery manager needs to tighten things up.”

“Highly recommend them. Great food, service and very entertaining.”

“I had been forgotten by my server, but the staff swooped in and made it right! We were not upset at all, they were lovely and the atmosphere was very cozy. Food was GREAT. Highly recommend The Phog with the shallot topping, the truffle fries, the bacon cheddar fries, honestly all of it! Definitely check this place out for a tasty, affordable, cozy location downtown.”

“Fun environment, great staff & entertainment”

“Leroys is the place to be in Lawrence if you have a big group! We just had a Delta Upsilon Fraternity Alumni party there and it more than accommodated what we needed. The location is great, awesome TVs everywhere, cold drinks and great service! The Chiefs won! This is a fantastic venue and great for Lawrence!”

“DO NOT RECOMMEND (Yet somehow my review changed to "recommends" and I cant update it.) I've ordered the same chips and cheese here for years and never paid more than $3.50 -$5.00 for plain chips and melted shredded cheese. Tonight, the bartender you always have to watch your tab with (aka, you order a single and she'll pour you and charge you for a double / order 4 beers and your tab will show 6 etc) charged me $16 for plain chips and shredded cheese...charged me for full nachos (meat, all toppings, etc) and refused to change it. Go anywhere BUT HERE! You'll order a water and end up with a $20 glass of ice. There's 2 things in my life you don't mess with and that's my dogs and my money. I gave 2 options: (1) I pay it and never come back. (2) They charge me what I normally pay and I just never order it again. They opted to charge the full price. So, they chose $11-$13 over keeping a customer that's been going 1-2x a week for years. They're as dumb as they look. After updating business owners I know that take their employees there and a friend that was going to have them cater for her event of my experience , that $11 you stole from me just cost you a LOT MORE. You saw me as 1 person, but have no idea who I actually am. How unfortunate for you.”

“Perfection~ Brunch before going to the Jayhawks basketball game! Best biscuits and gravy of my life!🥳”

“Best food around. Quick to get food. Aidan R. Is the guy!”

“Best bubble tea I've had! I love how customized the drinks can be - adjust your sweetness, ice, milk type, flavors, etc. I love the lavender milk tea with tapioca. It even has little lavender petals. Delicious!”

“Great food and great service. Huge portions”

“Great staff and coffee. I moved from Lawrence and still make it a point to visit every time I’m in town.”

“I love eating here. Perfect southern comfort foods and great environment.”

“We have always loved munchers so we hired them (Torie) for our wedding cake. The cake and all the flavors were amazing! We love taking out-of-town friends to munchers. Highly recommend!”

“These aren’t tiny chicken tenders. They’re good size juicy pieces. Always fresh, always good. My favorite of all the chicken places.”

“Quesabirilla & broth was fantastic. The Tres Leches cake was delicious! Looking forward to eating there again.”

“Great Food and we had an awesome server Alana!”

“Their service was great and the food even better!!”

“What a wonderful breakfast burrito! I know this much….if that tomatillo salsa is made in house, you need to be selling that by the jar in café and at the Merc!”

“Awesome ice cream. I tried the carrot cake and it was amazing!”

“Excellent food and the prices are fair.”

“The best tasting falafels ever.. Served with a variety of toppings and veggies! Can't miss here.”

“Every person I have met here has been incredibly friendly! They are also helpful when it comes to picking a drink, sometimes the menu seems overwhelming but I love how you can customize everything. Every once in a while they will bring drinks over to my work and we are very grateful for it!”

“Locally owned and doing it right! Their menu is always top notch. Service is fast, food is hot, and they always have a great selection of pie. You can never go wrong with a slice of coconut cream pie after breakfast. Every server in the joint is on their A game. They have it dialed.

Papa Bravas is 👌”

“Great place and the staff is very kind. They are open from 7am till 9pm daily. They have great selection of baked goods both savory and sweet. Their selection of cakes is also pretty good. Everything I’ve had so far has been pretty yummy. Their beignets are 👌”

“Lucky Sebs is one of those places that instantly feels like a Lawrence favorite for all the right reasons. The food is delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly made with care—everything comes out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the experience even better! From great food to great service, Lucky Sebs delivers. If you’re in Lawrence and looking for a spot you’ll want to return to again and again, this is it. Highly recommend!”

“There's a reason this place is on the podium, if not winning, multiple categories in Best of Lawrence. I've never had a bad meal here and the daily specials are always delicious and inventive. If you aren't going here, you need to re-evaluate your life's choices.”

“Excellent gyro, wraps, shawarma! The fries and garlic sauce are also great. New to the area and after trying a few restaurants and not being impressed, this was the first thing I really enjoyed and return to.”

“I don't think I have ever had a bad experience at this establishment. Great food, hot, fresh, and love picking up 2 dozen frozen cheesy dogs for the kids snacks after school”

“Darn good BBQ!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: The very fact that the owner took the time to read a review and respond so quickly is exactly why i am bumping this up to the 5 STAR rating.
KUDOS to BIGGS BBQ for awesome customer relations!”

“Food is top notch, and the people that run the place are super cool as well 😎”

“I haven't tried anything else....yet, but I just bought a peach pie today and it is DELICIOUS! Thank you for waiting for me to get there.”

“I have been coming to Wheatfield bakery since the 90s, I just love the food and it's freshly baked”

“Been eating there for a long time. We had it for my wedding reception. Great staff, highly recommend.”

“We visit most every Saturday for drinks and eats. Great atmosphere and and music. The food is tasty and we love our server Lindsey she’s great.”

“The best Grilled Cheese I have ever had in my life ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Amazing Service!!!”

“My daughter and I had a great time at the cafe! The staff is very kind and knowledgeable about the cats that they have. We ended up adopting one and he is the best addition to the family! I highly recommend visiting them if you love cats!!”

“Great menu! NY style pizza is my personal favorite and Morningstar’s is the best in town, which makes ordering very difficult because the California Pasta is extraordinary too and nearly impossible to pass up. The ambiance is chill and cozy and the owners to the entire staff are wonderful. They truly deliver great food with exceptional service. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Went here on a spur of the moment, looking for a fun place to eat while in Lawrence. Didn’t want to just go to another chain restaurant. We were immediately excited being a car family, the old truck in the parking lot. When we went in there is a calendar being sold to raise money for troubled kids. It immediately felt like the right place to be. The atmosphere was so much fun! We had the absolute best waitress, Caroline. She was so welcoming, and fun to be around. We just celebrated our daughter’s birthday in heaven, and we really needed a good time out. We are looking forward to coming back soon! We felt like we’d known Caroline forever and she was truly a dose of sunshine on our rainy day!”

“We had the pleasure of breakfast this morning at the Roost. The staff was wonderful, the food was excellent and we took some delicious whole bean coffee home with us. Definitely worth a stop for a meal or coffee❤️ the benny (eggs Benedict) was out of this world, and the homemade habanero peach jelly was fantastic!!!!”

“Chill/ quiet environment, friendly staff, and amazing food!”

“Great place to eat or relax and have a few drinks! Friendly staff!!”

“The BEST Chinese food I’ve ever had, hands down. Also the most delicious tofu dishes I’ve ever had. I know they’ve been impacted by the construction on 9th and it would be such a loss if they had to close. A true gem in Lawrence. Delicious.”

“Took my e-bike in today to get some work done and everyone was super nice and helpful! They even squeezed me in today although they were busy. The guy at the counter kept eyeballing me weird while I was browsing as if I was gonna steal something 😂 but my overall experience was awesome! I’ve been to some of the competitors in town but they wanted to charge me double than what sunflower did! I will be coming here from now on.”

“Love Pizza Shuttle Cream Cheese Pizza. All time Favorite!!!”

“Great coffee and exceptional staff that went the “extra mile” for customers!”

“The Asst Mngr heard me tell him that the floor was too wet and to dry it after my disabled father nearly slipped and fell. He didn't do anything about it. He left the excess fluid on the floor and did other things.”

“Great coffee and exceptional staff that went the “extra mile” for customers!”

“The best around! We ordered a cookie cake Monday & picked it up Wednesday! It was ready to go on time and perfect! These cookie cakes make great gifts!!”

“You should come here. It's qauint. The drinks are incredibly unique and tasty. The staff is chill and cool. They have great shin digs with live music in the summer. You'll love it.”

“In addition to a friendly, safe, and clean bar atmosphere, the food is fantastic. You won’t find another bar in town with the same caliber palate and personality. I highly recommend checking them out, but be careful, you might become a regular just for the eats!”

“Love this Place! Great place to chat and meet fun people.”

“☮ Grounded Coffee is comfortable and inviting, great coffee and friendly staff. The best place to meet for a caffeine break, good company and do a little work if you must.”

“Outstanding service and food! If I lived near by no doubt I would frequent this place often!”

“I am based in Hertfordshire, England. I placed an easter order for my son who is at Uni in Winfield KS. Website was easy to use, and his parcel arrived in time for Easter :) Will definitely be using this store again!”

“Great music, great food and great atmosphere!”

“Crunchy rolls were delicious!!!”

“Visiting from Florida and Joe was fantastic! The bar reminds me of our beach bars back home (minus the beach of course). Joe was lively, friendly, and personable. We went mid afternoon on a Saturday and the bar wasn’t too crowded. Drinks were great and you can’t beat the price. Very happy that I got to experience this place and that we got to meet Joe.”

“Great place to get your sweet on. Coffee is great.”

“We truly enjoyed eating at Cosmos. The staff there is so nice and took the time to answer our questions and make recommendations. The hot chicken soup was one of our favorites. Would go back to try more items too!”

“I highly recommend this place to eat! The food is actually really good, it’s the closest to Chicago flavor and style I have found in the Midwest. I didn’t realize my order didn’t come with fries, and they brought them out curbside for free and had a great attitude doing it. Go get you a burger or hot dog, and their fries!”

“I got a gift certificate for them from my daughter. First time in store! Loved it. Great store for downtown Lawrence!”

“Our boys love this place…it’s really good!”

“Yummy! 🍿So fresh🙂 Just stopped in the Eastern Market and grabbed some goodies 😁Thanks! 🤗”

“BEST cocktails in Lawrence! Definitely my favorite patio spot and they always have the best entertainment! Bar staff ALWAYS treats me right!”

“HOORAY FOR ICE CREAM! Baskin-Robbins has been a favorite of one for decades (literally). My favorite flavor is Daiquiri Ice and it used to be available only during the summer months. NOT ANY MORE! YAY! it's year round! As I'm driving all over Larryville doing errands I think why not pop by and get some? It's on the way home (Kinda, sorta. Ok! Not at all but who cares?) 🤣 I get there and walk in. Folks, it's so clean! And bright and airy! Love it! I look at all the flavors and spot my fave and that's when I'm told it's year round now instead of summer only! The clerk is super friendly and so helpful! I spot a coffee & oreo cookie flavor for hubby! Excellent! I request 2 small tubs for take away. The clerk explains to me that the small tubs are 8.00+ for 4 scoops and the next size up is 11.00+ for almost double. I bet he's a marketing major because I absolutely go with that. As he's bagging them for me I spot another fave-black walnut! YES! I ask for and get a small cup (it's protein because of the walnuts) and I eat it in my car (not driving). It's extremely creamy and the maple taste is perfect with the crunchy walnuts. YUMMY! I hurry up eating it as I don't want my oversized tubs melting and well, because it's that good and I don't want to share with hubby nor tell him I had extra. I also ditch the evidence. This wonderful place on 23rd is a slice of Heaven. Try the Daiquiri Ice!!!!”

“Always great! Best breakfast anywhere except home!”

“Love this place. The atmosphere, service and the variety of great cuisine all make this my favorite place to dine, when I'm in Lawrence. I live in Johnson County, so my only complaint is that they don't have a location in Overland Park or Olathe! Mohammed always seems to make an effort to stop by the tables, to ensure all the guests are completely satisfied. The Raja dip is delicious, and you'll NEVER have a better glass of lemonade! There's even a bowl out in front of the building, for dogwalkers to stop by and give their furry friends a refreshing drink of water. (It's the little things). The KC location is equally as nice, but this spot is a gem on Mass Street, for sure.”

“Best Mexican food in Lawrence. I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve been here. The quesabirria are incredible, the staff is super nice, and the last time I went I had the best churro I’ve had in my life. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“The whole evening was wonderful. The food was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend it!”

“Halal chicken was a pleasant surprise. Syd gave us great customer service and was very helpful! This is the best Korean fried chicken. Also the japchae was good too.”

“We have been coming here for a little while the service and food are always consistent and very good! We have brought out of town guests that know authentic Mexican food and they said this was indeed very good and recommend it as well!! We are so pleased we have a place to bring our out of town guests!!”

“Went to celebrate my husbands birthday Wednesday night, my server, Megan, was immaculate. She had a big group seated by us but continued to provide excellent service to us as-well as the other tables around us. Our steaks were excellent, and the manager even comes to check up on you. Couldn’t say better things about Jason, Megan, and my entire experience! Definitely will be celebrating more occasions here!”

“Love the smoothies, protein shakes and teas. The menu has many options. The staff are wonderful and helpful”

“Amazing coffee and the girls that work there are so friendly and helpful ! Get one in Iowa !”

“Delivery takes a while but it’s always delicious!!”

“We had Taco Zone cater our wedding in Kansas City and what I can say is HIRE THESE PEOPLE! They are so nice, down to earth and hard working. They will go above and beyond for you prior and on your day. I have nothing but wonderful and raving things to say about the staff at Taco Zone. It’s the talk of our friend group and work on how amazing the food was, which is always good to hear since wedding food is known for being average… but they were far from average. If you are thinking of booking them for your next event, take this as a sign to do it! Thank you again, we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to serve our favorite people but TACO ZONE!”

“Had a great experience at Louise’s with bartender Pat. He was so kind and fast. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!”

“I love the spinach & feta bread (even with jelly)!! Not to mention my usual rhubarb/strawberry pie and assorted bars!! Thank you for expanding to breakfast and lunch, everything is so delicious!”

“This has quickly become my favorite study spot. It's got great ambiance, awesome staff, excellent drinks, and enough seating. I've never seen it so busy that there's a line, and I've never had to wait to be served. It can feel a little cramped with more than 3 groups in at a time, but there's more seating in a back room that helps with that (though I don't think I've seen outlets in the back room).”

“I'd tried their burgers once, and wasn't impressed.. smashburgers aren't my thing. So didn't go back for years. Returned today, for the cod dinner. OMG was it fine! The cod was the best I'd had in years, it was incredibly crisp and very, very flaky and tasty, cooked just right. And the cole slaw also stood out as the best I'd had in years. Culver's has a new customer, appreciating their food and not just their excellent customer service and their clean, pleasant place. The prices are reasonable too. I haven't enjoyed a restaurant of any level that much since just forever.”

“We live close to El Potro so we go there frequently. We always have the best service no matter how busy they are. The staff is kind and friendly and they work hard! Food is always great!”

“I was actually expecting a simple tavern when I came into town to perform this past Friday. Once inside though, the venue had a night club vibe to it. Still intimate, but more upscale than a regular bar. The layout is nice and clean. Plus the downstairs room is pretty cool and isolated to the point where 2 separate events can be held simultaneously. Bottom line is, Elmo's is a nice spot with good vibes and staff. Can't wait to return in a couple of months. Thanks for a good time.”

“Such a large selection of Mediterranean food. We had the falafel, Ajvar veggie appetizer and fattoush salad. All of it was amazing! The owners were very friendly. And the selection of their market was fantastic! It had everything g you ask for from groceries and canned goods to fresh made foods. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Great atmosphere Cool people”

“What a wonderful breakfast burrito! I know this much….if that tomatillo salsa is made in house, you need to be selling that by the jar in café and at the Merc!”

“Liked the old owners and love the new ones too! Delicious food and friendly staff! The princess chicken is very flavorful! Also a fan of the red curry and Thai iced tea 😁”

“Great place and staff I love this place.”

“They are the nicest people and such good hosts. I love this place and highly recommend all it has to offer. 10 out of 10.”

“Enjoyed my first visit and will be back soon! Friendly team, excellent coffee and crepes. Prices are so reasonable!”

“I used to hang out here in grad school in the early 2000s and remembered they had good burgers. I returned to have a West Coast Classic (with egg added) and onion rings and it did not disappoint! It's just as tasty as I remember on those days I hung out with my friend that bartended here 22 years ago! Sometimes we build up things as better than they really are out of nostalgia, but the West Coast Saloon burger is not one of those things.”

“Fantastic food! Ordered the appetizer sampler, General Tso’s Chicken, and Thai Mango Chicken. Every bite was beyond delicious and we definitely have found a new go to spot!”

“My favorite place in Lawrence to get an honest, traditional espresso. Rich and strong. They also sell Oddly Correct beans so it’s a win-win. The atmosphere here is one of a kind.”

“Best burger in Kansas City.”

“This was my first time at this new location and it was a great experience! When I was undecided about what to order, MJ was there to guide me! My drink was delicious and the atmosphere was very fun and helpful. I will be back soon!”

“Spin! Pizza is just plain awesome. Great food, super friendly and fast service. We've been here multiple times and love it!”

“Goodness all around! If you haven’t tried it you’re definitely missing out. 🙏🏼☺️🕉”

“Great place for a hamburger and the fresh french fries are the BEST!”

“It was good like always! Love the burgers!”

“I love this place. The food is so good. Better than chipotle in my opinion. Love the Wes coast bowl and BajaShrimp burrito!”

“The Laurence location is always a very good experience. The staff are always very friendly and very knowledgeable, especially about the unique flavors or limited flavors. And the creativity that’s occurring with some of these limited time flavors is one to be watched! This peach collar bunt is going to leave customers “shook.””

“Great staff, welcomed us with great food, and friendly service.Family took me there for my birthday 🎂. We will return. Hope you will have T-shirts next time. Thank you for everything!”

“Best tables in town by far, and best bar staff to boot. Love my home away from home 🥰”

“I stopped by Smoothie King today and had an awesome experience. The place was clean, the smoothie tasted amazing, and the staff were super friendly. One of the workers, River, really stood out. He was upbeat, helpful, and clearly knew what he was doing. He helped me pick the perfect smoothie and made the whole visit so much better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Great place go often ! 😁😁😁”

“Had a great experience before leaving Lawrence this morning. The cafe we were planning on going to for breakfast was closed, so we went a couple storefronts down to Global Cafe. The weather was gorgeous and we ate outside. I had a fantastic smoothie and latte. In the time it took us to finish our meal, I watched as the waitstaff handed out no less than eight free to-go breakfasts and coffees to what appeared to be people without housing. From the interactions I witnessed, it was clear that these were regular customers, and the waitstaff treated them with such dignity - just like any other customer. Thank you, Global Cafe Lawrence, for taking care of your community. 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🖤🤍🤎”

“Always a great place to stop in for a slice of pizza.”

“Absolutely love this place! Chesha is awesome.and did an amazing job of being super welcoming and making sure everyone was very well taken care of!

I love the heated and covered outdoor smoking patio!?”

“Very good. Redhead waiter is very handsome 🤭”

“The best shop around, you won’t be disappointed by the fresh roasted coffee!”

“amazing place and amazing crew ⚡️”

“Every time we have eaten here the food is delicious, service is great, margaritas are excellent!!! Definitely more authentic that any other Mexican food in Lawrence!!!”

“It is a safe diverse inclusive fun space.”

“PureCoffeeAwesomeness …..”

“One of my fav stops when I’m in the area. Recommend!”

“I must say this is a very lucky coffee shop. On the day I had my PhD candidacy exam, I just had a coffee from here. It was very refreshing. Thank God I passed my exam. I think this coffee shop is a very sweet place to study, read books and spend some peaceful time. ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you SconeLady!”

“I freaking love this place 😍 ❤”

“I’m from The Menominee Reservation and every time we come to Lawrence to visit my daughter we stop here. We are treated very well and the is food is excellent.”

“The Lyon is where we always land!”

“First time trying Pizza here….was recommended by two separate college students. SO good, it was 100% worth the wait! They are not kidding about the slices being as big as your face….wow. But beyond that, the ingredients are fresh, flavorful, and the topping amounts are amazing! Definitely recommend and will be coming back!!”

“Great service today on a super busy Mother's Day, KU graduation day. Thanks to the girls working so hard to get us through the drive thru. Will definitely go back.”

“Always my go to when I can't decide cause' it's just good.”

“I only came here for a doordash order to pick up and the instant stress relief of being spoken to with respect was a nice touch to the already beautiful interior atmosphere”

“Amazing sandwiches! The new Smokehouse stack is my new favorite, with the spicy dill pickle chips and a freshly baked cookie…where else are you going to get anything like that???”

“M & M Bakery is the place our family goes to for our special celebration cakes and desserts, and have done for over forty years! We recently had them prepare a large sheet cake celebrating an anniversary for our large group. The cake and frosting were fresh and moist and very delicious. Everyone complimented us on how great the cake was! We love their donuts, cookies, and other treats. Always fresh and a great assortment to choose from!”

“So pleased with our order! I reached out to MiKayla with some inspo and she took it and ran with it. The cookies turned out so cute and creative! Will 100% order from her again ❤️”

“This is our go-to place for awesome and authentic mexican food.”

“Just enjoyed the BEST sandwich at Subway by Target. The sandwich guy truly took every step to create a piece of edible art. Thank you sir! The team of two worked seamlessly together - professional. Thank you for the delicious end to a long day.”

“The first two times my husband and I are Louisiana seafood we ordered through the door dash and it was the greatest sea food we've had here in Lawrence Kansas. But this time we dined in and omg the service was just outstanding very nice fast service. The food was so delicious like I've said the greatest sea food we've had here. The cook definitely knows what she is doing! And the owner is the best out going person I've met here delightful he definitely cares for his customers and their opinions. We enjoyed it so much!”

“Friendly people, Cold dranks, Good times….”

“Always and easy quick stop for me as the truck is usually located just a couple blocks from my house. It is hard to find Al Pastor tacos that really hit the mark for me, and theirs are pretty close!!”

“It was great like always love the pancakes”

“I love this restaurant. Great food”

“Their atmosphere can feel a little overwhelming with space, density, and music. They might benefit from slowing the music down to psychologically slow and calm the atmosphere in the restaraunt. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but kept a positive face, well done servers, stocking, and cleaning staff! Just slow that atmosphere down a bit, perhaps move the tables right next to the line for buffet food for comfortability and space, and I think this place will be successful!! Food was very good, and they had an amazing array of delicious sushi!”

“The "Cheers" of Lawrence. Harbour Lights is very welcoming and fun with a great community of regulars. Everyone on staff is great, Thursday nights are my favorite time to come, my favorite bartender and friends come then so come get a drink with us.”

“We came by after the KU basketball game. Got to hang out with the college kids for a bit and got pizza and beers. Not many options to sit but it’s a college town bar so no need! Tons of people, great service and great food.”

“I love everything about Dillons!!! They are conveniently located and they always have exactly what I need!! Super great staff!!!”

“their chicken tenders and fries are the best. and I like the potato wedges”

“Five-star rating for unexpectedly running into this Pizza Hut express not knowing it was there while picking up a prescription. It was a pleasant surprise the pizza is great it's warm and fresh!. They also have cheesy bread bites. Definitely a great choice on the go.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“First time ever going to a Starbucks! The staff was very friendly and helpful for my first time ordering from the menu! The service was awesome and friendly! I might go a little more often!”

“Food was great and came out super quick. The waiter Hayden was very sociable, polite, and helpful.

Made for a quick and simple, but great lunch.”

“super cool place to enjoy the games!”

“Hands down the best Asian American food I've had since moving to Lawrence. Fried rice was fresh and had that wok hei flavor you'd want in rice. The sesame chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and delicious! Not too much sauce, and not too sweet either. And the egg roll was phenomenal. The most surprising part was the portion which is almost as much as what my wife and I would eat together. I will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.”

“Emma was extremely patient and helpful and had such a bright personality. I really appreciated her customer service and willing to find a solution! Definitely deserves a raise for being so helpful and kind”

“Amazing service and friendly employees! The best boba tea shop in Lawrence.”

“Food was still warm as it arrived Thank You”

“My issue with taco johns isn't taco john's, they're great. It's the people I meet at the drive thru. The first one is the guy who's throwing a party for 50 of his closest friends and is getting all the food at the taco john's drive thru. It takes him forever to order, it takes them forever to make it, then he invariably has some problem that requires a long discussion at the window. (I also meet this guy at the pharmacy drive thru, weird). The second is the guy at the exit (only large enough for one car) who's trying to turn left across 2 lanes of traffic and can't seem to get it done. Somehow I meet more of these people at taco john's. But taco john's is the best, I go to the drive thru, order 2 meat and potato burritos, boom I'm in and out and omnomnom.”

“Sonics food is great, Service is always friendly sometimes you have to wait a few minutes but that's later at night and that's due to under staffing, same problem at all fast food places.
They have Very Delicious Burgers and Fries. The Prices are reasonable.
I always enjoy the food when we go or dessert, they have a really nice dessert menu!!”

“This is my favorite restaurant for fajitas!”

“Had a wonderful breakfast at Milton's. Our waitress forgot to put our order in to the kitchen, so we were delayed about 15 minutes. But the staff was very apologetic, and gave us a nice discount! Loved everything about Milton's, and highly recommend!”

“Friendly, fast service. Seems well staffed and positive atmosphere. Their ice cream temperature seemed rather melty... Maybe it's supposed to be that way? Could be served colder. Other than that.. good experience! Thank you”

“Our waitress Lena was a 10/10! SHE was busy, not shaming the business but she was the only one running around taking care of customers the best she could!👏🏽 Food was great! Will definitely be going back!”

“EDIT TO ADD: Rick, the general manager contacted me same day and was amazing! Come to find out, Noah was brand new that day so, I understand the issue with the service. Waiting tables is hard work anyway and it’s especially hard when it’s you first day and you don’t know the policy. Rick also reimbursed my meal and apologized. In short, They were quick to reach out and rectify the problem, which I am very grateful for and impressed. My faith in HuHot is restored and I will remain a faithful patron! Normally we have a very good experience, today… not so much! Had the WORST server I think I’ve ever had “Noah B”, or at least in the bottom 3. He did not visit our table 1 time until he brought the check, no refills. Then, I asked for a box. . . I had been through the line 1 time, had eaten about 5 bites when my stomach revolted (not because the food wasn’t good, I have a stomach issue that causes me to occasionally not be able to eat, unfortunately I don’t know it’s going to happen until I try to eat) I explained this to the server and he still would not let me have a box. So 1 whole meal wasted. It took him 8 minutes to make change for our bill, and then he shorted us $3. The cook was very polite and cooked our meal well. I don’t know if or when we will return to the Lawrence, KS HuHot, but it wont be anytime soon. Do better!”

“The best shop around, you won’t be disappointed by the fresh roasted coffee!”

“They literally delivered my sandwich in 4 MINUTES today!!!”

“Tried this place out and was not disappointed. Ordered the catering service for my daughter's wedding... it was delivered flawlessly. Ben and staff was phenomenal to work with. Great food,excellent service, and reasonably priced. Check them out, I think you'll be pretty amazed, too.”

“To this kind note-writer and all the staff at Dutch Bros, YOU'RE the BEST! You're hands down my favorite coffee stop in town. I love the friendly chats I've had with everyone there and the Kicker never disappoints. My dogs love you too! My barky dog vibed with you before the pup cups even came out. Trust me, that's special. Thank you to everyone there for making every experience a positive one. I can tell you all enjoy your work.”

“I do like most things from hog wild but I have to mention this. Sour cream does **not** get baked. When heated, it curdles into hard, dry crumbles, and that’s not how anyone wants their sour cream. It needs to be packaged separately or put on top of the potato, not underneath cheese and everything else. It’s gross and it ruins an otherwise perfectly fine potato. That just isn’t how dairy should be prepared for safe consumption. Really hope you guys take this as a serious request because this is not the first potato I’ve got like this and it’s really disgusting.”

“I love toppers pizza the toppings are great quality the cheese is amazing and I enjoy how straight forward the entire process of it all from ordering the pizza to picking it up. Also there crust is really good by the way and the Italian sausage is delicious.”

“I was experiencing car trouble and needed to use the phone at Goodcents. The woman working there was incredibly kind and compassionate. I have never experienced such kindness from a stranger, and I am so grateful.
Also, I've ordered from that Goodcents before and the food is top notch! Please support this business!”

“The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Order was received promptly. Travis was very attentive to our requests.”

“Laken took my walkin order for two large pizzas.🍕 The entire crew 6+ were rocking it behind the counter tonight. The night before the Superbowl is one of their busiest nights of the year - they were building 10 pizzas at a time! One of our pizzas had some special topping requests, Laken made that one and he nailed it. 👍”

“I ordered take out and everything was pretty satisfying. Only knock i have is one of my guys wanted a baguette but accidentally removed it . I called and asked they could add one and I had no problem paying for it but she said no. I mean its a tiny piece of bread man just toss it in and make customer happy .”

“Kensington was very friendly and polite. Had great customer service. Will return to slim chicken to see her smiling face.”

“Love this little local Mexican restaurant! Staff is always so friendly and perfect for college kids (or anyone) wanting cheap good margs! Food is great and they always accommodate to my GF diet!”

“Recently had a combination sesame chicken meal with white meat for $13 and change! Red Pepper for the same meal came out to be $20+! I got two crab rangoons at Tryaki instead the three I would have gotten at Red Pepper.
But the portion size was bigger and quality was better at Tryaki since they dont upcharge for white meat.
Plus In place of the extra crab rangoon I got a canned Pepsi!
Cheers! Id say honestly Tryaki is on 🔥 rn! Best Chinese in town for the wallet hands down. And the quality hits lately! Dont skip em yo!”

“A friend and I dined at Molcajetes for the first time yesterday. It was amazing! Wonderful food and great service. We will definitely be back. Of all the Mexican restaurants I’ve been to in Lawrence, Molcajetes is now my favorite.”

“Even with the price jump, ITS WORTH IT! Everything is so amazing and fresh it’s me and my husbands fave date lunch/dinner place!”

“Always great food I am never disappointed!”
