“Their biscuits & gravy and Bloody Mary’s are wonderful!”

“We had a company get together at Lawrence Beer Co. The service was ok. I'm not sure they were fit prepared for our large group as we only had one waitress.
The appetizers were good. The pretzel bites were amazing!! So soft with a crisp exterior.
The food kinda came out willy-nilly with others servers assisting. While that's normal in a lot of establishments, a server bringing out a dish and basically just setting it on the table as they didn't know whose it was... this demonstrated lackluster service.
I had a club. It was good. The waffle fries were good as well.
Overall, ok experience.”

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

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

“Such a lovely place, and some of the best boba tea I’ve had. I’ve been here multiple times. I get the peach oolong tea with mango popping boba. The owner is very friendly and nice. The decor is cute, I love all the plants (many of which are real!), the indoor balcony seating is cool, the sticky note wall is very fun, and the bathrooms are clean. The hours for Tuesday listed here aren’t accurate, as the place is usually open at 11:30 like normal. Definitely pay a visit!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Love this place so much! The smash burgers are my favorite with those sweet corn nuggs!! Oh my goodness!! Hand squeezed lemonade aint too bad either!! Plus $1 Wing Wednesday and Customer appreciation days are my favorite those are the days you can get delicious wings for your buck.”

“Really Awesome food and service, but a little too high class for me per se only cuz I'm not the type to drink and stuff to have less on the menu but if u are upper society definitely recommend and if your blue collar redneck type like myself maybe try it the foods worth it lol”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Fun environment, great staff & entertainment”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!🥳”

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

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

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

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

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

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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!”

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

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

“10 years later still fabulous. Diner food with an edge, very very tasty.. Need to try a few more things on the menu, the pork tenderloin sandwich topped with pimento cheese was killer..”

“Excellent food and the prices are fair.”

“Clean bright & cool inside with attentive staff. Mina from Okinawa Japan attends customer services well. Outdoor patio seating with umbrella shade makes coffee & a book or friends pleasant. I came for the coffee, but other customers do appreciate the lovely cakes & pastries.”

“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!”

“THE BEST MEDITERRANEAN FOOD IN LAWRENCE. The staff at service was wonderful plus the food came out fast and everything was amazing. Wonderful atmosphere and experience. literally a Hidden Gem, Give it a try!”

“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.”

“This is a must visit BBQ place in Lawrence. The food was fantastic and the portions were generous. We got the food to go since there was only 1 uncovered outside seating area and it was extremely hot out.”

“Great music, great food and great atmosphere!”

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

“Always clean, friendly staff and the only Runza in Kansas. We drive in from Leavenworth a few times a year just to have a RUNZA. Food is so good and they have the best onion rings in the fast food industry.”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

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

“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 atmosphere Cool people”

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

“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!”

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

“Always great! Best breakfast anywhere except home!”

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

“Road construction slowed us a bit, but worth the detour. Ninth Street is closed but we came in on Indiana. Worth the detour! The Phad Thai is the best in town. The crispy tofu from the authentic menu is a favorite (pictured). Their menu offers a great variety, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll love. Staff was friendly and very attentive from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable.
If you're looking for delicious Asian cuisine with excellent service and generous portions, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“Crunchy rolls were 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.”

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

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

“The food is delicious as always, They work hard to get your order correct, Customer service is always good, they're always friendly and work hard to make the experience relaxing.”

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

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

“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.”

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

“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!!”

“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!”

“This bar is a blast! The bartenders we're friendly and amazing! The atmosphere was fun! The music was great! We stopped by on our way through doing a pub crawl through the strip and this is one place we stayed longer for. We will be back!”

“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!”

“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!!!!”

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

“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!”

“We had the Crab Rangoons, the cucumber salad, a Pork Fried Rice and a Yellow Curry. Everything was delicious! They let me order a half size of the crab rangoon despite that not being an option on their menu, which I really appreciated. They also have a water machine that dispenses room temperature water in addition to cold, which made me very happy as someone with sensitive teeth!”

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

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

“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!”

“☮ 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.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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!”

“The QUALITY really shines here! Chicken was juicy and SO crispy. I had the spicy garlic and it was a nice medium heat. The slaw tasted fresh and crunchy. Fries were great, too. Service was also very good, in a friendly, quiet atmosphere. Glad we discovered this hidden gem.”

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

“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!”

“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).”

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

“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!!”

“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!!!!”

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

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

“Great place go often ! 😁😁😁”

“Very good. Redhead waiter is very handsome 🤭”

“Great place and staff I love this place.”

“It was great like always love the pancakes”

“Coffee was very good. We enjoyed being downtown in a hometown space with friends. It got kind of loud but I think that was just us...😬

Holy Mole Mocha! Got a large and it was a great start to my day! Nice kick.

Really reasonable prices. Large specialty drink + latte = $11.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Best burger in Kansas City.”

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

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

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

“Go to place for my coworkers and me, quality is always the same through the days and weeks. The matcha is actually pretty decent here! Especially the banana creme matcha!”

“Great food and atmosphere.”

“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.””

“It is a great bar to go to!! The drinks are cold and the food is delicious. They have some of the best burgers in town.

The staff is always friendly and attentive”

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

“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.”

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

“This restaurant is so cute and perfect! My family and I have gone here for lots of different events and the staff were always very accommodating! The hosts were so nice and inviting! We had a very large party and they still served our food timely and ensured our drinks were refilled! The food was amazing and the beers are even better!
Highly recommend!!”

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

“New cocktail Menu for Summer 2026 is divine. So thoughtful and well balanced. The Heirloom blew my socks off. Liquid garden vibes. Can’t wait to try the rest.”

“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. 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🖤🤍🤎”

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

“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.”

“amazing place and amazing crew ⚡️”

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

“PureCoffeeAwesomeness …..”

“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.”

“Food was great and not a long wait with polite staff.
Although I did move myself off my waiting area due to some ants hanging around the sitting wait area 😬”

“We recently used McLain's catering for a shower brunch and were absolutely amazed by how beautiful the food was and how delicious. It made for a stunning table and people couldn't stop eating or thanking us! They were even able to design an unusual cake we had requested and it turned out perfect. Highly, highly, HIGHLY 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!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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???”

“Super casual vibe, easily the best dive bar feeling in LFK. Really surprised by negative reviews, I've never had a bad time here and the bartenders are the best and know what they're talking about. Great place to relax with TVs and good prices”

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

“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 ❤️”

“Mr Bacon BBQ Catering brings exactly the kind of food and atmosphere people hope for at Kansas events — flavorful barbecue, relaxed energy, and service that keeps guests happy throughout the entire night.

What stands out most is that the food feels authentic and made with care instead of feeling mass-produced like a lot of catering can. The smoked meats, brisket, pulled pork, and sides all have that classic backyard BBQ flavor while still being presented professionally for weddings and private events.

As Wichita DJs and Photo Booth providers, we work alongside a lot of catering teams, and Mr Bacon BBQ does a great job keeping service flowing smoothly during busy receptions and large gatherings. Guests stay fed, lines move efficiently, and the overall atmosphere stays fun and comfortable without slowing down the event.

“I freaking love this place 😍 ❤”

“The Lyon is where we always land!”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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!!”

“The food is good- we got a pizza and order of meatballs. The atmosphere is bar-like, but families are welcome, which given its location on Mass and that it was late afternoon, was expected. For service you go to the counter. We didn't have any issues except it was happy hour and the items didn't ring up with the discounted price, we had to ask, but our check was adjusted without any trouble.”

“Great burgers with superb fries. Food is quickly prepared, vert tasty. Wonderful custard ice cream with numerous toppings. Staff is attentive and helpful. Dining area is clean with confortable booths and tables. The space is bright and open.”

“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!”

“Athena is awesome always friendly and knows my name! It’s a nice experience instead of just here’s your pizza! Gramma’s pizza is delicious!👏👏”

“This is my favorite restaurant for fajitas!”

“I love this restaurant. Great food”

“Food was still warm as it arrived Thank You”

“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!”

“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.”

“I'm a door dasher and when I came to pick up my order today, this place was BUSY. There was one young man, Micheal S., who did not stop moving. Making drinks, filling orders, refilling ice, everything. And it's not that the others WEREN'T working, but this guy was MOVING. He got 3x as much done as the other people in probably half the time. Very impressive.”

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

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“we were in lawrence kansas for 3 days and got 9 drinks a day. the people did a great job and fast.”

“Wow ,this place is really nice compared to the other place we looked at first, fresh plentiful food , great taste atmosphere is really nice . Great service!! Excellent”

“I loved coming here 30 years ago as a kid & I'm glad it's still here to delight my kids on our annual trip to Lawrence. Here's their summer hours, as of 11July2024”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“super cool place to enjoy the games!”

“Drinks are the go to here but the food is pretty decent if you’re craving something. Coffee is strong and less sweet, so keep that in mind. Can be pricey, but not breaking your wallet. Tried a lot of the drinks, especially themed seasonal ones and they’re all really good”

“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 .”

“Place was very clean, food was amazing, and our server Joesph was amazing. Kept our drinks full, even boxed our food up, really went the extra mile. Probably the best Olive Garden I’ve ever been with the best service all around.”

“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.”

“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!!”

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

“You can’t get a better Philly cheesesteak anywhere in Kansas. I’ve been going to pepperjax since I was a kid, and it has never disappointed. It’s been sad to see the locations slowly go away, but I hope Lawrence always stays!”

“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.”

“Dear Sonic, I’ve come to the realization that the only reason you have 50¢ corn dog days is so you can train the new cooks or possibly you open your doors to Helen Keller school for the blind students to learn how to cook. The only thing that resembles a corn dog on this blackened charred wiener is the stick.”

“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!”

“good food at a reasonable price. MICHELE is exceptional. she is fast friendly and helpful”

“Everyone is really friendly and I think their pick up service is very efficient and so far in the 2+ years going here never had a problem with my orders ever being late or wrong.”

“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.”

“Always great food I am never disappointed!”
