This is the best diner in Kansas hands down. Meg Heriford and her Ladybird staff are some of the most generous people you will ever meet, and they know how to make some good food. I highly recommend the Choreezy scramble.

The Mexican chocolate pie might be the best pie I’ve ever had. Please don’t ever stop making it.

Ladybird Diner absolutely nailed it. We ordered standard breakfast fare and it was anything but ordinary — everything was amazing, served hot with huge portions. The service was spot-on: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The classic diner vibes give it a cozy, hometown feel, perfect for a relaxing start to the day. Pricing was very reasonable considering the generous portions. Parking out front made things easy, and although I’ve heard there can sometimes be a wait, we were seated right away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast in downtown Lawrence — locals, travelers, and brunch lovers alike.

Was $90 for four pieces of soggy bread, 5 pancakes, 3 pieces of bacon and 1 small potato. Everything was very bland.

Oh my goodness we had the best experience here and our amazing server, Kianti, made it extra special. I got the 90's Bistro Chicken Sandwich (absolutely delightful) and my fiance got the Choreesy Scramble which he thoroughly enjoyed. We had the option to sit outside and enjoy the lovely view of flowers and greenery. Kianti also recommended some of the pies they're known for, so we opted for Blueberry Basil 👀💜 cannot wait to try it. Thanks again Kianti for the excellent service and Ladybird Diner for the memorable experience. ☺️

I have purchased a couple of “KEY LIME PIES” (in the past) that were outta this world delicious, from the key lime filling to the best graham cracker crust ever. I heard about their Friday night Fried Chicken so we brought some friends and tried it out. Well I thought nothing could get better than the pies but….. This fried chicken is fall off the bone tenderest tastiest chicken I’ve had and so is the mac and cheese. Everything we put in our mouth from this meal was fresh, tasty, hot and delicious. It’s a quant, little diner with fast friendly service. The Expresso Martini is one of the best Ive had too…. I highly recommend and we’ll be back again soon!!!

I had the fried chicken sandwich and french fries and it was perfect The added relish brought it to another level. My husband had the chicken fried steak with fried potatoes gravy and two eggs of course we brought half of it home in a to-go box because it was a lot of food.
