“Excellent food and the prices are fair.“

“Locally owned and doing it right! Their menu is always top notch. Service is fast, food is hot, and they always have a great selection of pie. You can never go wrong with a slice of coconut cream pie after breakfast. Every server in the joint is on their A game. They have it dialed.

Papa Bravas is 👌“

“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!“

“Excellent food and beautiful patio. We had a bit of trouble getting a server. Fish and chips fresh and crunchy tasty tarter sauce. The waffle chips are truly delicious. Brussel sprout appetizer generous, sweet and zesty. All of our beers were good. Had to find a server again for boxes and a bill.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

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

“The BEST Chinese food I’ve ever had, hands down. Also the most delicious tofu dishes I’ve ever had. I know they’ve been impacted by the construction on 9th and it would be such a loss if they had to close. A true gem in Lawrence. Delicious.“

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

“Tonight my experience was incredibly pleasant. From the very inviting and most welcoming hostess to our absolutely attentive and enthusiastic server Jeremiah! Not only did he ask if we had any questions about the menu but made sure that my party’s orders were recorded and prepared to our requests! The food was hot and delicious as well! I cannot stress enough how great the experience at this location was tonight! I will definitely return to this location as it is our new favorite Perkins!! If you’re looking for good food and friendly service this is the spot!“

“Crunchy rolls were delicious!!!“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“Always great! Best breakfast anywhere except home!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“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*********“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“First time trying Pizza here….was recommended by two separate college students. SO good, it was 100% worth the wait! They are not kidding about the slices being as big as your face….wow. But beyond that, the ingredients are fresh, flavorful, and the topping amounts are amazing! Definitely recommend and will be coming back!!“

“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.“

“It was great like always love the pancakes“

“This is my favorite restaurant for fajitas!“

“best family atmosphere and food you can ask for“

“Tried this place out and was not disappointed. Ordered the catering service for my daughter's wedding... it was delivered flawlessly. Ben and staff was phenomenal to work with. Great food,excellent service, and reasonably priced. Check them out, I think you'll be pretty amazed, too.“

“Our waitress Lena was a 10/10! SHE was busy, not shaming the business but she was the only one running around taking care of customers the best she could!👏🏽 Food was great! Will definitely be going back!“
