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

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

“Great food and great service. Huge portions“

“If you love liberal Lawrence this is the meeting place for the most sensitive and "In The Know" people in LLK.“

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

“Excellent food and the prices are fair.“

“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.“

“Upon first walking in I thought it was going to be a noisy bar with decent food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The service was fast, minimal extra noises, and the food was great. Nice smoked meat flavor that was tender. The home made fries were great and hot. The kids meal had a generous portion with an included dessert. The only thing we don’t like was the Mac and cheese, it was too watery with not enough flavor and the noodles were too big to eat for the kids.“

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

“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!“

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

“Great beer, food and service. I had the Big Peach, Raspberry Edel and the pork sandwich with potato salad. What's funny is, I see a lot of reviews that mention the redheaded bartender not being friendly. I think if someone just had one brief interaction with her, they might think that but sitting and talking to her was a joy.“

“The best gluten free buns in Lawrence! I’m in every week for an Al Green burger. (Sometimes more than once a week… don’t tell anyone…) Friendly staff. Yummy food. Great specials.“

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

“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!!!!“

“You must eat here, it will change your world view on what good chinese food is. Get the cold noodles, and twice cooked pork belly. Or don't it's literally all great! It will change your life, religion, gender, sexuality, whatever is currently holding you back. It will bring rain to your fields and plagues upon your enemies. The Nine Hells will be at your mercy and Thor will dap you up. Dawg you gotta try this food!“

“love the tasting and People were friendly and helpful 🙂“

“I have recently been diagnosed with Alpha-gal Syndrome. I cannot have any mammalian products, which is difficult when eating out. They are in so many things, especially dairy. The manager and staff there went to great lengths to be sure I had a safe meal. I am so appreciative!“

“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!“

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

“Food was delicious and plentiful!!! We had the veggie pakoras, chicken korma, and garlic naan. I had enough for lunch the next day. Well worth the price. :-)“

“Always great! Best breakfast anywhere except home!“

“Great burger, also had the Fried Oyster Mushroooms.....WOW so good.“

“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.“

“Crunchy rolls were delicious!!!“

“My husband made patio reservations here for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing! We live an hour and half away and it was definitely worth the drive. I had the paella and my husband had the lamb that was on special and both dishes were great. I am not normally a fan of lamb but it was so yummy I would order it for myself. The dessert and cocktails were perfect and the staff was excellent.We haven't stopped raving about it since we were there. I highly recommend it and we will definitely make another trip to visit!“

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

“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!“

“We made reservations well in advance for Christmas Eve dinner at The Eldridge. Our service was so terrible and our waitress was so rude, we left after we finally got our incorrect drink order. We sat for an unreasonably long time before we were even greeted. After the waitress was openly hostile to us, we left money on the table for the incorrect drinks and left before we even ordered dinner. We walked 10 steps over to 715 and were greeted warmly and seated immediately at the bar. The service was top notch and the food was wonderful. The atmosphere was lively, fun and bustling. If you want great service, excellent food and great atmosphere, just go next door to 715. They saved our Christmas Eve date night, and we didn’t even have reservations! Thank you 715!!“

“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!“

“Great service, good quality food and excellent atmosphere“

“Absolutely delicious!
I got the original pho with sliced beef and the broth was amazing and the noodles were perfect, very large portion for the price!
My partner got the orange chicken and chicken pad Thai. Both were amazing and I kept stealing off of his plate!
Definitely recommend trying it out!
*****Photos are after beginning to eat, presentation was much better before we dug in*********“

“I waited 30 minutes for my food, but that was to be expected because they had been bombarded by a gigantic order before they even opened which caused them to open up late. The staff handled it very well giving everybody a realistic expectation of when their food would be out. It was Valentine's Day and the crew deserves recognition for the work they put in from 11:00 to noon“

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

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“Chipotle sucks compared to this place. The chicken or steak rice bowls are my favorite. They don't short-hand you on the meat and it's for a decent price. I know a lot of people who love Chipotle but I find myself always getting rice and corn with not much else. If you agree try Pepper Jax it'll knock your socks off.“

“A fun place to stop as we traveled through Kansas on a road trip. Great atmosphere, service was great - very friendly- food was good- had the chopped chicken salad (highly recommend the lemon parmesan vinaigrette dressing), Margherita pizza (flavor was good but it would have been baked a bit longer), and the Join the Club sandwich with house chips- both were excellent!“

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

“best family atmosphere and food you can ask for“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food, good atmosphere. The server we had was working hard but he was the only server in the building at lunch time. It caused short delays for our drinks, our appetizers, our food and our check. Overall, good place to eat. They need more staff but everyone there had a good attitude and the food was really good!“

“It was great like always love the pancakes“
