Restaurants in Lawrence

Mass St. Fish House & Raw Bar

Consistently a favorite place whether for happy hour or dinner. Appreciate getting oysters! Isis greeted us this time her smile is contagious. All their staff we encountered very knowledgeable about the food, wines, cocktails.

The Burger Stand at The Casbah

The Burger Stand is an order at the counter place. They have a super cool menu blackboard, and the food definitely lives up to the description. This is a bar and it is also family friendly, at least during the day. I had the chicken shawarma fries, and they were fabulous. I highly recommend this place.

The Fresh Mediterranean Co

I recently visited in Lawrence, Kansas. I was heading towards Kansas City when I made a stop at a gas station there where is the restaurant shared the space. Overall, it was a decent experience. ?I have to say, chicken, Shawarma the sandwich I tried was pretty good! ? I arrived shortly after lunchtime and the atmosphere was very quiet, with not much happening around. ⏰That's all for now! Just wanted to share this little snippet from my trip. Have a great day! ✨

Terrebonne Po' Boys

The best! We have never gotten anything bad from Terrebonne! They have large portions of great food at good prices. They're doing it right! I especially love their grilled shrimp po'boy, Cajun fries, hush puppies, and bananas foster bread pudding! So yummy! Also if you have a vegetarian friend like I do, they will love the vegetarian red beans and rice!

J&S Coffee

Had an iced coffee that was very good. The poppy seed muffin was a bit hard. Yesterdays? We sat outside on this beautiful day. It's so nice to have outside seating.

Texas Roadhouse

Came with a large group and the service was great! The rolls here are always delicious, and it is easy to have leftovers after eating a bunch of rolls before you get your food.

The Big Biscuit

Food was excellent and big portions. There was 5 in our party and we spent just under $100. My 2 boys were the only ones that finished all their meal but they can also do eat 4 lbs of steak plus the sides in one sitting

Little Saigon Café

I love little saigon with all my heart. I particularly love their lemongrass beef with rice and their vermicelli noodle salad (Bun). so delicious, the owners are such a hard working couple that are sure to make you feel welcome as you walk in the door. Be sure to grab a Thai iced tea, too. I have shared many memories with my friends at lunch here and probably eat here at least once a week. Affordable and delicious. love it!

Ladybird Diner

First visit & it won’t be our last! Visited on a busy Saturday, waited for a table, but once seated, our server was very attentive. Per recommendations of our friends, we had pie first. Great start to the meal! All our meals were so yummy… great home cooking!

Lucky Seb's Dumpling Bar & Grill

The absolute BEST food in all the land!! Unique flavors that you’ll crave until the next visit. The spicy fried chicken was to die for and the brisket rice was hittin’. The masa dumplings were in a category of their own. Don’t hesitate!! Go here! My only advice is to order enough to take home for the next day. Oh, and the owner even came to our table to talk to us. He was a sweet man and definitely knows how to cook!

John Brown's Underground

Wide selection of scotch, knowledgable staff, quiet atmosphere, and generally a good time :-)I came here to meet a friend and fellow scotch drinker. We hadn't been here before, but were anxious to catch up over a more interesting selection of single malts than you can find at an average bar. We came down the stairs and into the bar from the street like it was some hidden secret. The place was quiet with only a few other groups taking up space on a Wednesday night. We were seating by a friendly hostess, who popped off to get us a scotch connoisseur, after we explained our drinking plans. A nice gentleman came back with a couple different bottles in his hand that we'd never heard of before. We knew we were in the right place when he began to describe the origins and flavors and finishes to us, and we chose a couple different meat glasses to start. No disappointment from us! We had a great evening catching up, and will certainly come back!!

Sandwich Bowl

Sandwich was great! Soup was not very flavorful. They have new soups daily though so Im sure there are some in the rotation that I would like. They were short staffed but are looking for applicants to remedy that. The atmosphere is amazing. Cute lil spot that I'm sure will end up being on of the gems of Lawrence.

Merchants Pub & Plate

Fantastic menu. Every server, host bartender was friendly and accommodating. Happen to stop in for dinner, it was such a nice experience we came back for brunch.

Uplift Coffee

Oh my god I love this place, the chorizo burrito is ridiculously yummy. Wish they had online ordering to make my morning 15 minutes break a little smoother but still my fav ? ps that’s only 1/2 the burrito

Big Mill

Can’t say enough good about this place. The pizza is superb, and just tried the lasagna for the first time… I could eat that every night for a week! Waitress was kind and pleasant.

Nagoya Japanese Cuisine

The best japanese cuisine I experienced so far. We ordered crab rangoon, chicken katsu along with miso soup and salad, every item was 100/100, hats off, what a great ambience for a cozy date!

715 Restaurant

The food and service is top notch. Well worth the extra pennies to eat here or have some drinks!! The atmosphere is a bit congested, but I don’t blame them…I would want everyone to experience this too if I was the owner. The bartenders are TOP SHELF (mixologists would be a more fitting name for these bartenders- AMAZING).

Lawrence Beer Company

Lawrence Beer Co. is a great place to visit on a warm, summer day. I'm not a beer expert so I won't get into all of that (I usually stick to PBR). The food, however is great and there is plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy nice days. The staff is friendly and won't judge you because you don't grow your own hops and haven't owned a microbrewery. I definitely recommend this place for the food and, if you like beer, try it out. Really laid back place to eat in Lawrence.

Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant

The Delivery service for Red Pepper is great! The food is always good, the delivery is prompt and the delivery drivers are always so nice. I recommend them for small and very large orders!

Thai Diner

It has a very unassuming appearance from the street, but inside it is cozy and pleasant. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Tried the panang curry with tofu and really enjoyed it. Khob khun khrup!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian dishes, and tofu is a protein option for many dishes.

Cosmos Indian Store & Cafe

My boyfriend and I come here once a week. It’s very good and flavorful.They have lot of vegetarian and vegan. They have Thali plate on Saturday and dosa night on Wednesday evenings. Must try. Thali has vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Very aromatic and delicious items. The service is nice all the employees are sweet and helpful. Food is made fresh. Clean areas to sit inside.Easy to take it home as well. Love this place... Owner is very sweet.Vegetarian options: They have Baingan, Bindi, chana masala, Kidney beans, vegetable korms (Very yummy and delicious) and lot moreParking: Plentry of parking spots available in front of the store. That is huge plus.

Dempsey's Burger Pub

Wow! I love trying new-to-me restaurants and this one was a huge hit. I had the Thai PBB burger with sweet potato fries and it was fabulous! Great waitress and fast kitchen.

The Basil Leaf Café

I give four stars because overall it was a great time, there a just a few ways I think their food could be better. All things considered though, with good service, nice interior, and great location, I'd go again.

Wine Dive + Kitchen

My family and I had a great experience tonight! The service was wonderful, food was great and patio seating was very intimate. My husband and I will be back for date night. Wine Dive + Kitchen, welcome to Lawrence!

Fields & Ivy Brewery

I had a reservation for 20 people fairly late on a Sunday evening.I changed it to 24 at the last minute and they were happy to accommodate us. Almost all of the people in our party had not been to Fields & Ivy before.Several of them commented that the food was great and they will eat there again. We were all happy with the service provided by our server, Dakota and then by all the other servers who helped her bring all of the food to the tables. We were in the outside patio area and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a great place to be able to get up and move between the tables and socialize.

Zoe’s Noodle House

What an exciting find… Tasty, original, and reasonably authentic Chinese food in Lawrence, Kansas. Loved all five of the dishes that I got to try, and looking forward to going back. The chicken with scallion oil was excellent, and the chicken with basil was excellent. Really can’t ask for more from a first try at a restaurant.

Pane e Vino Wine Bar & Academy

A true gem of a restaurant in Lawrence, KS. I dined with Pane e Vino Wine Bar & Academy last night and I cannot recommend it enough! To begin with, Michael and his wife were incredibly welcoming and patient in explaining the wine selection and menu. For the particular night that I dined there they had a scallop dish but I had decided to go for a lighter fare to include a summer salad, cheese board, and a delighful Chardonnay. Everything on their menu was reasonably priced (typically $20-30 for a plate) and I definitely would have been willing to pay more based on the quality of their ingredients. fThey also have wine education classes and wine tours to France and Italy. I cannot wait to come back!

Oriental Bistro & Grill KS

I had a fantastic experience at Oriental Bistro and Grill KS! The restaurant's convenient location with ample parking immediately caught my attention. Inside, the ambiance, while reminiscent of a traditional Chinese eatery, could use a touch of modernization. However, the serene atmosphere ensured a peaceful dining experience.During my visit, the service was solid, on par with what you'd expect during lunch hours. The menu truly impressed me with its wide array of dishes spanning Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisines. It's a culinary journey all in one place!As for the food itself, every dish we ordered was a delight to the taste buds. The chefs truly know their craft, as the flavors were spot-on. While the presentation was typical for Chinese cuisine, the focus here is undoubtedly on taste.I also found the prices to be reasonable, aligning well with the quality and portions they offer. Speaking of portions, they didn't hold back – the serving sizes were generous and satisfying.In conclusion, Oriental Bistro and Grill KS is a gem worth visiting. With its diverse menu, delicious flavors, and ample parking, it's a great spot to explore various Asian cuisines. While the interior could use some sprucing up, the overall experience left me thoroughly satisfied.

Limestone Pizza•Kitchen•Bar

Definitely the smells from the sidewalk were a big plus! I arrived to a fairly busy dining area. I was quickly greeted but felt that a party of 1 was an inconvenience to the server for taking up a full table. I was a bit surprised that there were only a handful of pizookie choose from and there was no substitutions of toppings. The crust was crispy, but lacked any substance beyond the outer layer — it was over proofed. The middle was soggy. I did find the flavor of the sauce was above average, though it could have been the added olive oil and oregano after cooking. All in all I felt the food was okay and the restaurant was trying to hard to be something it wasn’t. I probably won’t return as nothing else on the menu seemed interesting.

India Palace

We love India Palace and have for about a decade. Went for my son’s bday. Start with the garlic naan bread. Love both the chicken tikka masala and chicken korma and lamb korma. Sauces are amazing! Also love their aloo gobi

Munchers Bakery

As soon as you walk, in this place smells just like you hoped it would, baked goods and love. The people that work there are friendly. The goods you find are spot on, everything you hoped they'd be. Delicious. The strawberry cream cheese donuts are one of my family's favorites! Highly recommend.

Mr Bacon BBQ

Excellent service, quality of food is superior to many other BBQ catering services. Listens to customers and their desires. Always ready to try knew approach to improve business. Success through professional and personal care!

Terrace on Fifth

Very nice hotel with great service. The Oread is a beautiful property right next to campus and very close to downtown. The staff was very friendly, the bar was well-stocked, and the rooms were spacious! The only issue we had was the TV in our room definitely could be upgraded.

McDonald's

I used the kiosk to order and received it within about 5 minutes or so.. place is clean and they have an outdoor eating area as well as large restrooms.. plenty of parking.. pretty fast and efficient service for the hungry travelers..

IHOP

Went at 2am after work, honestly wasn't expecting much, but boy did they surpass my expectations. Our server, Jeffrey, was probably one of the nicest and most energetic servers I've had! The food was good as always.

McDonald's

Come here daily and I love the customer service experience that I receive consistently by the staff, specifically Hailey and Reynaldo. Always greeted with warm welcomes and smiles. I love it and keep up the good work!

McDonald's

App is great, rewards are great, and deals on app are great. Never get my order wrong. McChicken with roma tomato added is amazing. Wish the tea would be consistent.

McDonald's

S&S Artisan Pub and Coffeehouse

Nice little place to get coffee and some food. They offer some vegan options on their menu like vegan cheddar cheese. We got the avocado ? toast. Super yummy!Vegetarian options: They do offer vegetarian and vegan options and milk alternatives.

Bigg's BBQ

Great service! Had our family dinner here following a heartbreaking funeral for a family member. They accomodated our group. Food was fabulous with generous portions for the price. We will be back!

Decade

Great little spot in East Lawrence. Ample free parking, funky baristas, and oodles of personality! Also great outdoor porch to chill on. Support this great local business and help it stick around. They do lots of other fun events like art shows, music, clothing swaps, and more. Their creativity at coming up with fun events always inspires me. Follow them on Instagram @decadelawrence!Oh. And the coffee is yum!

YOLO Milk Tea

This is my second time I went to this boba shop and already love it the workers are nice and the boba is really good. And the shop is just so pretty. And good prices!!

Culver’s

So my senior friends and I headed to Culver's. Very, very loud and noisy. We chose a corner booth so it was better although 2 tables of 8 to 10year Olds were beside us (providing us with unlimited entertainment!). Cod sandwich was crispy and perfectly golden. Fries on point! Just because we also shared a dish of chocolate ice cream (I had 2 spoonfuls, Earl had one and Bevvie had thr rest). Haven't been here in probably 4 years but every bit as good as I remember. The employees were amazing and super friendly. Atmosphere gets a 3 for the noise level.

SPIN! Pizza

We were heading back to Kansas City and stopped in Lawrence to grab a bite to eat! My friend and his wife wanted pizza so we decided to go to Spin Pizza! We ordered our food and it came out pretty quickly! I thought the service was great and the food was very tasty!

Gaslight Gardens

Cool local spot. They have this weird booze called Zamboo. Makes your mouth numb. You've really got to try it at least once. They always have great drink specials on beers. The patio is great to hang out on a nice day. Also a good option for live music.

Five Guys

Superb burgers, made to you specifications with various toppings. Generous portions. The fries are awesome and plentiful. The service was prompt and very courteous. Dinning area was very clean and well appointed. Great music too! We love the peanuts!Vegetarian options: Available.Kid-friendliness: Separate kids menu is superb.Parking: Wheelchair accessible parking avalable.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking. Tables are also and seating is suitable for accessibilty.

Wayne & Larry's Sports Bar & Grill

Great sports bar. Was in town for a basketball game. Staff was welcoming as we were wearing gear supporting Kansas' opponent that day. Potatoe skins were good and draft beer was cold. Would definitely come here again during my next visit to Lawrence.

Burgers By Biggs

Food was good. Kind of a diner feel inside mixed with fast food. Fiancee's food came in a basket mine came on a stoneware plate. I had the tenderloin and it was Yuge.Kid-friendliness: Definitely an all ages place

R Bar & Patio

Didn’t try the food but it looked really good I didn’t give it a 5 star rating for the simple fact that the drinks at the bar were not all that they tasted more like pop to be honest

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

Justin is amazing. Food came out late and wrong. He went above and beyond! Gave great customer service, pints and coupons. Just amazing! Definitely will be back! Thanks Justin!?

Sonic Drive-In

We just stopped in to get ice cream on a hot day here in Lawrence (6th St)and Thomas the car hop was extremely nice and accomidating. He was extremely nice and we appreciate him being so kind to us!!!!!

23rd Street Brewery

We've always had a great experience, every time!Perla went above and beyond today to make our family birthday/Chiefs watching celebration so special.You will always have a great experience with wonderful service and huge portions you're sure to love!

Sonic Drive-In

I believe my car hops name was Xander, but he's got the hands down best customer service and attitude I've seen from anyone in a very long time! Fantastic job ? everything else was also excellent (fast wait time etc)

Sylas and Maddy's Homemade Ice Cream

My mother came into town to celebrate my son's birthday. We first had burgers, then went to Sylas and Maddy's. We knew we could get excellent homemade ice cream, and we weren't disappointed. We can't recommend this place enough!

Wheatfields Bakery Cafe

First time to Lawrence and at 4.7 stars had to give it a try. Glad we did!I tried their toasted breakfast sandwich: egg, bacon, choice of cheese (provolone); wife tried the breakfast burrito; my mom also had a breakfast sandwich.They have a good variety of assorted pastries like Almond croissants, palmiers, regular croissants and assorted sweet pastries as well. We had a raspberry chocolate something and a pear apricot something.They also have a standard coffee menu including espresso bar (lattes, cappuccinos and cold brew).

Biemer's BBQ

This is the best BBQ in Lawrence. Love the atmosphere and the food has been fantastic. My favorites are Burnt ends, brisket and ribs. The fried green beans were great

Leeway Franks

What a find !! Very clean, great menu, top notch service and fabulous food. The meat was so good, we visited the butcher shop they own next door before we left the area. The tater tots and fries were done to perfection. Ice cold pop in a bottle. Very knowledgeable and proficient chef - we just can't say enough good and I will be back until I try everything on the menu. LOLKid-friendliness: Great kid menuParking: Park right in front -

Runza Restaurant

A unique taste sandwich option unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. Ground beef, seasoning, cabbage, onions placed in a freshly baked bun. Super delish. They offer a few varieties based off the original that are with trying depending on your tastes. You can complement the sandwich with an order of frings (a mix of fries and onion rings). They also offer the sandwich frozen, so you can take one home later and heat up at your convenience. Give it a try...you won't be disappointed.

Aladdin Cafe

Aladdin Cafe is one of my favorite Lawrence restaurants. It's one of those places that isn't fancy (two stars for atmosphere) but has great food at a decent price. And, in my experience, the service staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely try the hummus gyro with lamb!

1900 Barker - Bakery and Café

I love the small cafe vibe at this place. Employees were always friendly and very attentive. So far this has been my go to spot for coffee and pastry whenever I ride my road bike from Shawnee/Lenexa, usually on Saturday mornings.

The Bourgeois Pig

Immaculate vibes. This cute place off the main strip has craft drinks and the best playlist I have ever heard. We spent pride afternoon on the patio and it was perfection. We used the online menu and found the perfect drinks for everyone in our group.

Free State Brewing Company

The highlight of our experience last night (a Thursday) was our waiter, who was excellent! He paid just the right amount of attention, he offered separate plates for our split dishes, and he was perfectly responsive to each of our needs. I particularly appreciated the fact he kept our waters topped off on a day when the temperature had reached 104F and was over 100F for many hours.We stayed a long time, and no one rushed us even though we realized as we were leaving that it was 15 minutes past closing time.The food was generally good with some caveats. We had excellent onion rings that were very large, both individually and the overall portion size. Two of us shared the fish and chips: the fish was fresh and crispy on the outside but a bit wet and slimy on the inside as if the batter was too thick to fully cook all the way through, and it was too salty; the fries/chips were not fresh, and the special seasoning wasn't working for either of us sharing that dish. We heard only positives from the others in our group, who had the shrimp linguine, the sirloin with hash, and the Bavarian burger.Parking: Handicap street parking is available at no charge (in contrast with adjacent paid non-handicap spaces) less than a block away.Dietary restrictions: Limited options for gluten-sensitive customers are available on the menu, though not specifically identified as such. One example is the sirloin and hash.

Eileen's Colossal Cookies

Wow absolutely the best cookie company ever. Let me tell you about my experience with Eileen's Collosal Cookie Co in Lawrence, Kansas. I needed a big cookie birthday cake for my son's 21st birthday so I called them now I'm 1200 miles away in Virginia and my son is stationed in Fort Riley Kansas well when I called I had no idea that they were an hour and half away from him but all I knew was that when I called the Manhattan Kansas location no one answered the phone and when I called Lawrence location Peyton answered and was super helpful and courteous 5 star service. He took my order and promised to send me a picture of the finished product and he did exactly what he said he was going to do. Thanks Peyton. Well it was to be picked up at 4 on Saturday well his wife went to pick it up thinking I had ordered it from the Manhattan store and I quickly found out that I had called Lawrence. Well to make a long story short Leigh in Lawrence store assured me that it was not a problem and promptly sealed and put the cake in the fridge to be picked up on Monday. It all worked out perfectly. Plus the Manhattan Kansas location fixed a big cookie cake for my daughter in law that was also perfect and delicious. Customer service that is this good and can satisfy a customer 1200 miles away from them with a 5 star rating deserves your business. Great job guys thanks a million from a happy Mama in Virginia.Sincerely Kathy Bottoms

The Mad Greek

A client recommended we check out The Mad Greek in Lawrence and we were not disappointed. The gyro fries and mixed grill were great, we cleaned our plates! Will definitely be back soon.

Yello Sub

Yello Sub has been a Lawrence institution for decades. I'm old enough to remember getting Yello Sub sandwiches when they were located in the back of The Crossing just north of KU campus. Their consistency over the past 40+ years is impressive. A lot of restaurants lose steam after a decade or more, but Yello Sub has continued the great tradition and even expanded to other locations. The most difficult thing about Yello Sub is choosing which sandwich to get. I have a number of favorites, but No. 1 is the Creamy Club. The bread is AMAZING! The restaurant itself isn't fancy, but the food is outstanding.

J. Wilson's

You can spend more on a steak, in town, but you won't find a better one. Prime beef, well seasoned, and most importantly, all of their chefs know how to cook a steak MEDIUM RARE. Sides are always tasty, and the service is very good. I'm a transplanted Texan, I know my steaks. J. Wilson's is the best in town.

The Roost

The Roost proves time and time again why it's the best breakfast place in town, and I don't think it's even close. First off, the food quality is always exceptional. These are folks who care about the ingredients they use and where they source them from. I've eaten here dozens of times and never left unhappy. I pretty much always order The Rooster because those damn potato pancakes are like pillowy clouds of culinary perfection, but I decided to veer off course last Sunday and get the chorizo and eggs. Killer! And man was it a huge amount of food. Lawrence is a great Bloody Mary town, we're truly blessed in that sense, but I think the Neighbor Brad's from The Roost is the one to beat. It's stiff, like it should be, but the fresh dill really sets it apart. Plus, you basically get a free appetizer with the amount of cheese they stuff on that toothpick. Bravo to the owners for maintaining such high standards when they're so incredibly busy on the weekends. Forever my go-to spot when folks come in from out of town!Vegetarian options: On the weekends the vegetarian biscuits and gravy seem to be a big hit.

Auntie Em's Deli & Bakery

I had half a sandwich and a piece of pie. The sandwich was delicious, good quality bread, meat, and cheese. The pie was nothing special. The crust was not very good, and the berry filling was syrupy and sweet.

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q

I've only ever had good food and pleasant time here. I always enjoy the folks behind the counter. They're diligent, courteous, sometimes even witty. As for the food, I can't pick a winner between here and the other great BBQ place in Lawrence, because sometimes I prefer one and sometimes the other. Either way, I'm going to get sumptuous BBQ; ribs, pulled pork and brisket being top draws for me except when burnt ends are available. The sides are just okay at both places, but I don't go for the sides. This place does have some nice dessert pie slices. Too bad beer isn't on tap at either place, but I'm gettin' a little old to drink and drive, anyway. Bottom line (finally) is if you want terrific BBQ you can't go wrong here.

Z's Divine Espresso

I'm a regular at the 23rd St Lawrence Location. Everytime I pull up they are always friendly and patient while I order. Big shout out to McKenna and Devin for doing their thing. They always make my coffee the best and just the way I like it! Frozen Rockie Raccoon with white chocolate, ½ sweet and no whip!It makes my day all the more better when my coffee is right and rhe serivice is great! Thank you ladies!

McLain's Market Lawrence

Wunderbar!!!! I enjoyed the sweet potato shakshuka with scrambled eggs. It was magnificent! I also had an iced bourbon caramel latte that was divine. Eventually, I left with $30+ of pastry & goodies to bring home.Definitely recommend!

Jefferson's

We sat outside on a Thursday. Our server was great and kept checking in on us. The cheese bite and mushroom apps were really good. The wings weren't spicy enough for me. If you like it hot, go towards the top. We will be back again!

Slim Chickens

Me and my fiancée love to treat ourselves to this place. Their chicken is so good, and their sauces are great as well. Unfortunately tonight, it was the complete opposite. The chicken wings were super tiny and had hardly any meat on them. The sauce on them was good, but that’s the only redeemable factor for them. The fries and toast were good, but not good enough to overcome the disappointment I had for the wings.My fiancée loves to get their chicken tenders and is usually always loving them, but her meal was also lacking in the quality we are used to. The chicken tenders were dry and thin.To be honest, these aren’t enough to make us never want to go back to Slim Chickens, but we probably won’t be back anytime soon. 2 stars because it’s usually amazing, otherwise it would be a 5 star.Edit: Slim Chickens contacted me and made it right. Since I’ve been back it’s been fantastic as it usually is! Thank you!

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

I’ve been to this Canes quite often and usually good, quick service however the other day we ordered through the drive thru (chicken sandwich combo & 4 piece combo) they handed us our order and we got home only to discover they gave us no chicken it was just fries and sauce.

Chick-fil-A

the customer service was % slay! no questions asked not to mention the food was awe-inspiring the most prestigious chic filla ive ever beeeen tooooo literally a life saver its the only good part abt college lifeee!!!!!! if u aint goin here, where u at???

Dunkin'

Something about this location is just different. The people who run it must take a lot of pride in their work because the donuts are ALWAYS fresh, the coffee is always spot on, and no matter how long the line is, it always moves super fast! Definitely go to the location on 23rd street if you're a Dunkin regular like me.

Burrito King

Stopped in for a burrito as this place comes highly recommended by my family that lives here. I was astounded by the size of this thing! Stuffed full of meat and topped with queso cheese and steaming hot! I'm sure a believer now that this is one of the best burrito joints in town!

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

I have never had any complaints with this location and it's my "go-to" location in Lawrence if I have a choice in the matter. Service is top notch and the food is great! Keep up the good work guys!

Taco John's

The street tacos were amazing. Easily as good as some of the more expensive places in town.Dietary restrictions: They were able to help us find a meal that wouldn't affect my daughter's allergies.

Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

The 2 women were working to get several orders ready while also visiting with me and my husband. Then another man came in and they included him! We were there June 27th at 3:30. Both women finished the orders from the multi order pizzas to out 2 pizzas. Thank you to both women, we will back soon. Chicken Garlic Pizza! Yum!

Jimmy John's

I’ve eaten here so many times since August 2022. At the very least I’ve eaten 520 inches of sandwich since then from this location. The only problem I ever have is when they forget to cut my delivery sandwich in half. Much love for these employees!

Chick-fil-A

I went through drive through and I got exactly what I wanted and also asked for no pickles. I didn't get any sauce though and none was offered so I do wish some could have came with it for the waffle fries and the chicken sandwich.

Dunkin'

Not the best location, but the food and the service was amazing!I chose the avocado toast and a iced chai latte! Yum ? My family enjoyed their meal too ❤️Definitely will stop in sometime in the future!

Louise's West

A great neighborhood bar that has been around at least since the 1970's! Was a favorite when in college, and just recently rediscovered! Small, but good for drinking a schooner and playing pool, darts, or foosball! Take a friend or make a new friend there!

Taco Zone

We had Taco Zone cater for our family reunion (30 people). Everything was perfect! They arrived on time and quickly set up. There were plenty of tacos, toppings, chips and guacamole and everyone thought the food was great! Definitely recommend!

Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe

I visit Lawrence to see my son , his wife and grandson weekly . We enjoy ordering on line and the ease in which we can pick up our food . The quality and variety Pickleman's offer is outstanding. What a deli should be

La Prima Tazza

La Prima Tazza is an awesome coffee shop!I really enjoy the tasty flavors of coffee they have. Always presented very artfully... Speaking of art, they feature local artists as well! The pottery I found there was from a local fella. Really beautiful stuff.The baristas are always kind, and friendly.The place itself is rather small, with limited seating, but the giant windows really let in some happy natural light, and allow for some quality people watching of Mass Street.They do sell various types of bulk coffee, and often have a snack or two of baked good by the register.

Sunflower General

They must have bought alot of their neighbors property to turn a house into a store and to have the sunflower field to be so much larger then the first year the news told about Grinter Farm. Been here twice and now the novelty of the place has warn off.Oh, for anyone visiting bring clippers to cut sunflowers with. Saw so many trashed sunflower plants of people trying to take a sunflower.Also, the beetles on them that are orange are Goldenrod soldier beetle, wild bees, and honey bees. So stop freaking out.

Formosa Bakery

I love love love this bakery and the owner is the sweetest! All of his Taiwanese desserts are all so delicious, 10/10 highly recommend (the Tiramisu crepe is my fav)! Whenever he's open, you want to make sure that you don't miss it!!

The Java Break

Great coffee, staff and general vibe. Love hanging out to draw or chat with friends. The cereal bar is great. I highly recommend the lemon butter cookie. Best lemon cookie in Lawrence no contest!

Taqueria La Pasadita

I love that this place stays open until 11pm-midnight (except Sundays and mondays, they're still open till 8pm). Most non-fast food places close at 9 or 10 at the very latest, not including Togo orders. Much better than any other place open that late. I love the small business feel. The food is authentic, ingredients are fresh, I really want to try their burrito after seeing a pic of it. For $8? Damn. You could get taco bell for like a buck less but ya know what they say - there's more feces in a cup of taco bell meat then there is in a cup of feces.

Hawaiian Bros Island Grill

Was visiting Lawrence for work and I got plates to go home. Haven't had Hawaiin food in almost 4 years and I decided to take some home for my husband and I. I drove 3 hrs and had them in a hot bag. They stayed warm and were delicious. I will probably be getting more next week when I am there. Thanks for the fix. Customer service was great as well.

Smallcakes Lawrence

Highly recommend! I live out of state and ordered through Uber Eats to have cupcakes delivered for my son’s birthday. There was a small mistake on the order, but Blaine went above and beyond to correct it, personally delivered the items that were omitted from the original order, and added an extra treat. My son said Blaine was great and the cupcakes were amazing! We’ll be stopping in whenever we’re in Lawrence for football games. Thanks for the exceptional customer service!

Replay Lounge

Not too shabby. The DJ was on point with some 80's and 90's music. Nice mixing and beats. Drinks were cheap. People seemed nice. Bit of drama outside a few times but didn't carry over in to the bar or dance area.

The Wheel

I love their pizza. There’s not that much to it. I am nitpicking but it could be a little cheaper per slice(3.00$ now), but people have to make a living. This pizza is a little bit similar to casy pizza. So if you don’t like greasy pizza, this is not the place for you.

Mediterranean Market & Cafe

This place is DELICIOUS!!! The food was fresh and was a nice big portion. The pistachio baklava was some of the best I’ve had. I even bought some dressing to take home - that good! This is definitely our new spot! The owner was so kind and nice. Support this local business!

Pizza Shuttle

I’ve been stopping by for as long as I can remember, from getting my first slice after winning my little league football game to eating in the car with my girlfriend. Always consistent and always delicious. Thank you

Sushi Station

The sushi pizza is OUTSTANDING! Puff pasty like wrapped around rice topped with your choice of seafood ?, and of course, they top it with yummy sauces. We also got a spicy crab salad & seaweed salad to eat with the pizza ? ! Great idea that our server recommended.There were so many specialty rolls that it was very hard to choose! We had room for only room for 1 which made it even more difficult!We ended up getting the Super Tiger Roll ?. AMAZING❣️

J&S Coffee

Had an iced coffee that was very good. The poppy seed muffin was a bit hard. Yesterdays? We sat outside on this beautiful day. It's so nice to have outside seating.

Brits

Love going there when we visit Lawrence. From specialty foods to football scarves, to a shelf full of Ted Lasso; you'll always find something to take home.

1900 Barker - Bakery and Café

I love the small cafe vibe at this place. Employees were always friendly and very attentive. So far this has been my go to spot for coffee and pastry whenever I ride my road bike from Shawnee/Lenexa, usually on Saturday mornings.

Starbucks

Your basic Starbucks. Sit in area is good and spacious. They have some high top tables with narrow spacing between them so it’s challenging to get in and out when there’s a lot of people. Seems to be a busier Starbucks (well they’re all busy). Food is eh. Had a breakfast burrito that was too egg-y with little meat (0 stars). However I won’t deduct stars for this since clearly the food is not made at this location but is likely mass produced and shipped nationwide. The staff seem polite and cordial. Never had any issues with customer service.

Z's Divine Espresso & Coffee Shop

I love Z’s! I’ve tried many different drinks from them and I am impressed each time. The prices are fair (cheaper than Starbucks!), the line moves efficiently, and their punch card promo is a really good deal. I honestly prefer coming here compared to some of the other big chain coffee companies in town. Have always had such a positive experience coming here!

Scooter's Coffee

Today I visited Scooter's on 23rd and Haskell in Lawrence. They have a wide variety of beverages and snacks to satisfy your taste buds. I really enjoyed it! No line and great customer service. Shout out to Kodi in the drive thru! She really was kind and demonstrated good customer/ employer interactions!

Z's Divine Espresso

I'm a regular at the 23rd St Lawrence Location. Everytime I pull up they are always friendly and patient while I order. Big shout out to McKenna and Devin for doing their thing. They always make my coffee the best and just the way I like it! Frozen Rockie Raccoon with white chocolate, ½ sweet and no whip!It makes my day all the more better when my coffee is right and rhe serivice is great! Thank you ladies!

Scooter's Coffee

My morning and afternoon go to, always polite and friendly staff, great reward program. Only two things I would change, make the drink stoppers optional, and open at 6am on weekends just to cater to my selfish needs ?

The Koffee Korner

Watch out for that mouthy barista, Alannah! She always get your order right but not until you can get her attention. (Totally kidding!) great service, great drinks and a great place to get coffee. I wish they would put a place in Topeka!

Great Blue Heron Outdoors

Stopped in after a friend saw the place. I'm new to Lawrence and looking to find good fishing spots, and the staff were helpful with what they knew. I was interested in getting info about fly fishing. Hopefully, it works out.

McLain's Market Lawrence

Wunderbar!!!! I enjoyed the sweet potato shakshuka with scrambled eggs. It was magnificent! I also had an iced bourbon caramel latte that was divine. Eventually, I left with $30+ of pastry & goodies to bring home.Definitely recommend!

Grounded Coffee

Best Coffee shop in town! I’ve lived here for the past 5 years and Grounded is the only shop I enjoy frequenting as they have pistachio milk and a calming environment :) highly recommend!

Starbucks

Just love all the employees because they r all so inviting to the store. So, far my favorite Starbucks in Lawrence. Genesis is the most wonderful employee that I have interacted with.

UBC J Café

Starbucks

A refreshing and much-appreciated alternative to Starbucks. It's the only one in town and serves the nice moderately sweet coffee beverages and snacks one would enjoy uniquely from Caribou. Happy it remains in town.

The Big Biscuit

Food was excellent and big portions. There was 5 in our party and we spent just under $100. My 2 boys were the only ones that finished all their meal but they can also do eat 4 lbs of steak plus the sides in one sitting

First Watch

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a pleasant dining experience.

The efficiency of the service also ensured I didn't have to wait long for my food, allowing me to savor every moment of my time at First Watch.Overall, my experience at First Watch was fantastic, and I can't wait to return for another delightful meal. If you're looking for a place with great ambiance, delicious food, and exceptional service, First Watch should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Global Cafe

The food was okay, the burrito that I got didn't have much flavor, wasn't worth the price. I'm not rushing to get back anytime soon. But the atmosphere and and service were excellent.

IHOP

Went at 2am after work, honestly wasn't expecting much, but boy did they surpass my expectations. Our server, Jeffrey, was probably one of the nicest and most energetic servers I've had! The food was good as always.

Cafe The Mani 더마니

The food is amazing!! It is the best Korean style fried chicken I have ever had!!! The spicy pork is a nuanced balance of flavor, heat, and tenderness. The beef spare ribs are soft, grilled to perfection, and delicious! Korean food by default is delicious, but this place takes it to the next level of amazeballs! Better than the Korean restaurants in Jersey City, New York or SanFran!

Nothing Bundt Cakes

My fiancé decided to surprise me with the seasonal flavor strawberries and cream bundtlet cake. The cake is so moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting is amazing!!! I definitely recommend trying this place out. You won't regret it

El Jimador tacos and tequila

We had the best waitress that we have ever had. Dark hair with black large glasses (sorry didn't catch her name ) Food was perfect!! She even asked if we wanted dessert!
