“I can't say enough great things about this place. First-time customers, the staff was excellent our waitress, Lisa, was absolutely superb. She was very helpful with our table that needed several food different accommodations, very knowledgeable of both the drink and dinner menu and offered great recommendations for what to order.The atmosphere was very crisp and lively. There were a few stairs to access the building and what appeared to be three floors of dining, and I only saw stairs. If you need any handicap needs, I would suggest calling ahead to make there are accommodations for such.The food, out of the six of us that dined, not a single one, had anything to complain about. From the Brussel sprouts, cocktails, and our entrées to the desserts, everything was spot on.Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.“

“Definitely a five star experience. Food was fresh and plentiful. Service from start to finish was spot on. We were never meant to feel left out. We had the choice of seating choices inside, which is wonderfully decorated, we sat outside to enjoy the nice weather.We had the Nut butta toast - which was a multigrain French toast with cherry coconut cashew butter, fig, yogurt, sliced bananas and honey ( yes it was as good as you think it would be. Look at the pictures.).We also had the chicken buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. Huge just a huge sandwich. It was fantastic.And I always want to try biscuits and gravy and they were very good, could have used ,maybe, a little more pepper or spice but very good biscuits and gravy.Maybe next time I’ll try some pie since they’re known for their pie“

Those girls who work there prepared our meal quickly and the tacos were freaking awesome. I have ate there three times in the past week and can't get enough of those tacos. I tried the Mahi Mahi tacos and they are great also but my favorite is the shrimp tacos. You will not be disappointed if you try them. And they have a fair selection of brews also which really compliment the food. I am a regular customer now! Awesome!“

“First time I've ever eaten here and I've lived in Lawrence since 2001. My wife and I were wanting some Italian food so decided to give them a try. We inadvertently selected a busy night, prom night, but still managed to get a table for two without a reservation in under 30 minutes. Our server was a Rockstar given the volume she was dealing with, including a prom group table of probably 14 or so. I got the Italian platter, which is a sampler basically. Wish I'd just ordered lasagne instead of trying a little of it.Parking: Downtown street parking out front will cost you during daytime hours. Evenings and Sundays are free. Free 2 hour lot behind the restaurant, but no direct access to the restaurant from the rear. You'll have to go around the block from the alley or walk through either Chipotle or PepperJax Grill“

Not only that they are the only place I know of that give you assurance that they try to maintain as much separation between meat and vegetables as possible and if you put in a request they try to respect it. So that was a huge selling point for us.I appreciate that effort.This is the only place we get our pizzas from now.We usually order Vegan buffalo chicken - 10/10Pesto Margarita - 10/10Classic Cheese Pizza- 100/10Vegetarian options: There aren't too many options, but enough.Dietary restrictions: Vegan/vegetarian friendly, but plz do call and confirm yourself. Plus, if you are looking for halal friendly, then remember to put in a separate request.“

“04/22/2024: My expectations were low when it came to Zen Zero and having lots of experience in Thai and pretty much every Asian cuisine. For a small college town of Lawrence, Kansas in middle America, Zen Zero isn’t that bad. The pad see ew could have had more char to the noodles, but the amount was plentiful and flavor pretty good. The seafood green curry was also very tasty. The spring rolls were okay. The prices were decently reasonable. I would definitely go again to Zen Zero when I’m back working in Lawrence. Thanks!“

Many said this is a great place for a party, the party was a success and their service was a great contribution to that. They also handled the shift as it was to be outside but Kansas weather took a big dive and arranged for us inside. Gwen was our assigned server and did an excellent job. It was just wondeful.

“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!“
