“we ate there tonight and everything was great, but what made the evening was an act of kindness above and beyond expectations. Our son brought in a mechanical pencil with a little fox on it that he got as part of his Christmas present from his teacher, and accidentally left it behind. We got to the car and he realized it was missing and was on the verge of crying. We went back in and found the table had been cleaned and reset... and the pencil laid very nicely on the edge. A worker had found it and realized it might be special to someone. That someone was my son. So thank you for your simple act of kindness that made my son smile.”

“10/10 on the grilled chicken sandwich, service, and drinks! Always a great time!”

“Great service and loved the small plate options! The menu was delicious!”

“I am so thankful for the opportunity to get food on a holiday from you guys. I was alone this holiday and your butter chicken made my week and warmed my heart! I have been raving about the chicken for days now to family and friends and plan to come back with more friends to have more! Love your food so much and the service!! Thank you 💛”

“These guys are awesome and make great beer!”

“The steak could use a little work, but other than that, the place is great!”

“Our first time here and it happened to be on a busy night for Valentines Day. We were on the waitlist and were seated in a timely manner when we arrived. We did not have to wait long at all for our food and it was delicious!”

“Visited on June 7, 2024. LOVED the light beer. And our server, a nursing student at KSU, was a true sweetheart and-a-half! ❤❤❤ Kevin Horn, Alliance, NE”

“Fast, friendly and great food. We’ve yet to finish everything on our plate!!!”

“GF and I each ordered a slice. Slices were huge, fresh, and really tasty. Got one fountain drink with it and the price was only about $15 total which is a good price for a two person lunch.”

“When all the adults have a weekend that we can get away we talked about what to do. It didn’t take much convincing the men to try axe throwing for the first time! After a little adjusting from an amazing coach we threw boys vs girls an had an amazing time. Great staff, nice facility, great time with great friends. Highly recommend to try something new today!!!!”

“By far, my favorite restaurant in Kansas!”

“Fun experience. I'm not a member so it was pricey but I kinda expected that going in. Staff was very nice and did a great job. Our drinks were made very well. Staff was knowledgeable which is rare these days. They were able to make meaningful recommendations, not just something they memorized.”

“This morning, I had the pleasure of indulging in a Chicken Fried Steak Skillet for breakfast at Hy-Vee in Manhattan, KS, and it was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Larry, the culinary artist, deserves high praise not only for creating an exceptional breakfast but also for managing the entire kitchen and register single-handedly when I walked in to order—a feat that’s truly remarkable. The Chicken Fried Steak was cooked to perfection, boasting a crispy, golden crust that encased tender, flavorful meat. The sausage gravy, generously ladled over the top, was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the steak without overpowering it. It was a perfect marriage of textures and flavors that left me craving more with each bite. Topping the skillet were the scrambled eggs, light and fluffy, with a vibrant yellow hue that signaled their freshness. The eggs were cooked just right, soft and moist without being runny, adding a comforting layer of warmth to the dish. But the pièce de résistance had to be the toast. It was toasted to a golden brown, crisp on the outside while remaining soft and buttery on the inside. Paired with strawberry jelly, it was the perfect sweet contrast to the savory skillet. Larry clearly took care to achieve the perfect balance in every aspect of this meal. What makes this breakfast experience even more impressive is the fact that Larry was the only one in the kitchen at the time, juggling both the cooking and handling the register. Despite the pressure, he delivered a meal that was meticulously crafted with attention to detail and a passion for quality. His dedication to his craft deserves to be recognized, as he managed to create an extraordinary dining experience under challenging circumstances. Kudos to Larry and the team at Hy-Vee for delivering a morning meal that truly stands out, and for the exceptional service that made it all possible.”

“The comradere and atmosphere is welcoming.”

“Phenomenal show, good food and service….what’s not to like?”

“Stopped in for a late lunch and we received excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommended the Asiago club!”

“I’ll recommend it because the food was good. The service was terrible. Waited 10 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order then I received my appetizer before my drink. I had no silverware to eat said appetizer with. The waitress wasn’t friendly to add to the dissatisfaction. Maybe she just had a bad day, so I’ll go back. The caramel butter cake was to die for!”

“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!”

“I hadn't been here in many years not for any other reason than just lack of occasion. Picked up some pre-ordered wings and enjoyed them nearby. Good service by the team.”

“This is by far the Best burger in Manhattan!! The sides delicious and a great portion size. Place was clean and staff very attentive and helpful.”

“Was good, love the tres leches cookie!

Parking: It’s good just a little tight

Kid-friendliness: It’s good! Very kid friendly”

“Finn's Neighborhood Pub is truly an amazing place to be. The drinks are quite reasonable and the bartenders do a fantastic job on mixed drinks, especially Bloody Mary's. They have great pool tables, darts, skee-ball and karaoke on Tuesdays and live bands on other nights. The owners are so great and the atmosphere is very welcoming and don't be surprised if the staff remembers your name! I highly recommend everyone visit Finn's because it truly is a fun place to be. Cheers!🍻🍸”

“Amazing food, friendly staff, the lime marg was great and it was only 1.50 on Monday when we went!
I got the chilaquiles rojo lunch special and I can’t want to go back to get it again! Also, we enjoyed the decor- the tables and chairs were themed with brightly colored pictures, so pretty:)
I highly recommend Antojito’s, my family will be back soon!”

“The owner is nice, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and the coffee is great. I also love their baked goods. definitely recommend stopping in.”

“This place has the absolute BEST Boba out of anywhere I've ever been! They also have delicious rolled ice cream and crepes. If your new to town and looking for the best place in Manhattan to get Boba from, look no further, Pandora Rolled Ice Cream has the best Boba in Manhattan. And to top it off the customer service is literally so great, I could not ask to be treated better!! 10/10 Definitely recommend!”

“I love baking my pizza, fresh, and they have the most delicious cheese. Everyone’s very friendly and quick. The place is a little cramped though when there’s a lot of people in there cause it’s so small but other than that We love having Papa Murphy’s!!”

“I had not been to an Olive Garden in years, and before last night had an opinion that their food wasn’t that great. The meal last night (cheese raviolis with meat sauce) was fantastic! It was as good as I could have made at home, and for three of us, $70 including 20%tip wasn’t a bad deal.”

“Another great visit to MHK and the Chef. The s'mores hot chocolate is 🔥”

“Tasty with pleasant service!”

“slept on this restaurant for waaaay too long. Hands down, the best lunch in Manhattan-- mix and match (pie, soup, and salad) with lots of options, generous portion sizes, fast and friendly service.”

“oh the cinnamon rolls they are the best”

“Best bar in Manhattan! Great service, live music, and events! Top notch!”

“Huge fan of the local Five Guys in Manhattan. I am not 100% sure but I believe I have worked with the manager every time I order. Super great guy and very friendly. And if he isn't the manager, he should be!

My order has always been 100% accurate here. Which should be something you can always expect but for several other places in town, this is hard to accomplish. Whenever I crave a burger and fries, I will usually choose Five Guys!”

“Great food! And well priced!”

“Most amazing and delicious cinnamon rolls that satisfy the taste buds and the memories. Jane is such a sweet lady and her rolls are unbeatable. No one better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great ambiance. Plent of seating for different size groups. The food was good. I was just a bit shocked at how much prices went up in the past 2 years since I was there.”

“Micah is an angel from chik fil a heaven and I’d die for him Food is always 🔥 they feed up at least once a week, & it’s cute when they remember our names ❤️”

“Food was great-I recommend the Tacos Locos! Service was great too.”

“It slipped my mind that I needed to plan a little bit ahead for my daughter’s birthday cake and a frantic Google search for bakeries in Manhattan led me to Little Batch Company. My daughter LOVED getting to “design” her cake with all the options online. The cake tasted wonderful and we will absolutely be returning customers for all our birthdays and events! Highly recommend!”

“It’s the small things that make even these darkest times bright and for me that is having my dose of Hillside. Everything was amazing! EVERYTHING.....The extra caution making sure everything was handled properly, the food was hot and wrapped well and best of all a big smile greeted me when I walked into pick up my order. Please support your small local businesses. They need you more than ever right now!”

“Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy!”

“Great black bean & raspberry dip & fish Tacos!”

“Of course it's a parked food truck, nobody goes for the atmosphere, but the food was delicious! Staff was good at taking care of us, and we really enjoyed our meal. I haven't spent a ton of time in Manhattan, but I imagine this is the best Mexican food they have. And yes, order the quesabirria!”

“Awesome lunch today! Blackberry mojitos were a great addition! The glasses they serve them were crazy (tilted) but added to the experience!”

“Everything here is fantastic! I especially love the quesabirria and all their tacos! Excellent service too!”

“Great sandwich cold beer - friendly place”

“Good place to eat with good prices and excellent customer service.

Kid-friendliness: They where really friendly and the menu for kids was vast”

“I love this place but lately when I go the chicken fingers resemble chicken curlicues with dangly Parts on them and are extremely overcooked and hard. Maybe they were having a bad day? They are very fast and friendly however.”

“After Chipotle took a HUGE downturn, I decided it was time to try QDOBA and I've been kicking myself ever since. Qdoba is better in every single way. Better options, better staff and the freshness of the ingredients is a night and day difference. Not to mention that you aren't charged and arm and a leg to add queso/guac to your entree. You also get a small bag of chips for free, just have to ask for them. I just wish they would stock the mexican Sprite but that's not a deal breaker for me at all considering how great everything else is.”

“Extremely delicious tacos and great staff! The food is so well seasoned. Check them out nest time you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!”

“Great place! Fast service with great burgers and malts.”

“Self service on the beer taps”

“Great hometown bar! The owner came up to me right after I sat down, Introduced himself, and gave me the happy hour specials. Doug is an MHK icon in the bar and restaurant community. He's an amazing host, the prices are great and the atmosphere is perfect!”

“One of our favorite places in town to go eat! If you like spicy food this is the place for you they will make it as spicy as you want! We usually get the Chicken Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried rice. Both are great dishes and highly recommend them! I had also gotten the Crab Fried rice and it’s amazing!

If you’re lucky enough to have mangos in season get the Mangos and Sticky Rice dessert you’ll thank me later!”

“My first visit in over a year because of COVID-19. The double dish of custard was absolutely perfect. Friendly, courteous staff! .”

“My first time was today, and it clearly won’t be my last time. I told the barista that this wasn’t sipping coffee, it was gulping coffee as it was so delicious (especially with cream)!”

“Sat at the table next to the open front window area, great view. We had a great waitress who took good care of us and she put up with us quite well. The food was amazing, loved the atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“My daughter brought the noon special today bierocks with German potato salad and drink very very good I would highly recommend this place. Washington needs a good HOMEMADE cafe even the bread was homemade. Only reason why it’s 4.9 stars is because hamburger was to brown and the potato salad was a little too oily for my comfort. BUT WE WILL be back. Like she told my daughter they’re learning so give them a chance”

“I am one of the workers from donut palace.i just needed to address the review comment about the workers smoking weed.Treview is a lie and the person that posted that should know better.Donut palace is a safe family environment where the service is great and so is the service.So please everyone stop by and enjoy a tasty treat at the Donut palace ?”

“Porter"s has the best kitchen specials for your money anywhere in Aggieville. The quality and variety of the menu is awesome. Drinks are well made and Im always taken care of in a timely manner.”

“I love Ihop”

“Disappointing Service and Unprofessional Behavior I recently had a truly unpleasant dining experience here. Despite the initial inconvenience of being seated at an undesirable table, I was willing to overlook it. However, the subsequent events were entirely unacceptable. After expressing my disappointment to the manager about the host's misleading information, I was shocked to be verbally abused by the same host at my workplace. This level of unprofessionalism and disrespect is completely unacceptable. I urge management to address this issue promptly and take appropriate action. Such behavior tarnishes the reputation of the establishment and creates a hostile environment for both customers and staff.”

“Very nice! Great ambiance and friendly staff. I had the reuben sandwich, and it was really tasty! Definitely recommend! 😋”

“Nick and his crew did a fantastic job and our event went very smooth. Great place.”

“every since I first bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I was sold to deliciousness. I worked for pizza hut at the time and the second time I bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I told the clerks at the store the pizza to me is better than Pizza Hut. then I seen the sign in the window and found out Hunt Brothers has breakfast pizza and it's been a little over four years now and Hunt Brothers pizza is all I buy. what I love is taste, quality, price and fact the toppings don't cost extra. keep up the good work and keep the customers happy. Thank you Hunt Brothers.”

“Thanks for making my first trip definitely not my last trip.”

“A few things other than the cookies being absolutely amazing. Messaged them about ordering custom cookies, they responded within the hour! great communication and they do a great job decorating. Highly recommend!”

“La mejor comida auténtica mexicana de toda la ciudad. Las bebidas son buenísimas y frescas. Lo que ellos venden no se encuentra en ningún otro restaurante Mexicano en Manhattan. Lo recomiendo mill veces. The best authentic Mexican food in the entire city. The drinks are great and fresh. What they sell is not found in any other Mexican restaurant in Manhattan. I recommend it a thousand times.”

“Great selection. friendly staff. Highly recommend.”

“Multiple Food Trucks to choose from. My favorite (Jinzy Co.) is there so I go as often as possible. Convenient eastbound location on U.S. 24. Easy entry and exit.

Parking: Hasn't happened to me but I can see how parking might be limited during events/peak meal times.”

“Cordial atmosphere for a passionate Wildcat”

“I was greeted upon entry with a smile and a “Welcome to Starbucks.” The young lady who took my order was friendly and made brief and pleasant conversation with me. My drink was quickly served and the barista who served me was friendly too. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and my iced coffee was great.

There is kind of an odd entrance into the location, but it is clearly marked, so I was prevented from going into the wrong entrance. Just be advised.”

“Nicole was very friendly and fast! Made sure everything was correct and sauces and napkins included! One of the Cleanest Arby’s I’ve seen.”

“Love that it’s off the strip. Great prices, my kind of watering hole. Oh & the owner Dan is an alright guy too.”

“Me and my co workers are always happy to see them open. I said it once and I’ll say it again a lot of us would function with out them. Thank you for all the hard work you all put in everyday”

“Looovvveee the drinks and rummy bears are one of my favs!”

“Trendy atmosphere, friendly staff

Parking: The parking lot is small, so we usually frequent the drive thru

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere”

“They're so wonderful here! The smoothies are so delicious! Aside from that though, when my Mother In Law was in Hospice care, and wasn't eating, we were there everyday. They knew our situation and knew exactly what to make her. We just told them the flavors she likes and her allergies. They pumped them full of protein, gut health, and multivitamins. Pretty sure these college kids in this Smoothie King are part of why she is now home, walking with only a cane, and totally back to her old self! It really is a miracle! When we thanked them for all their help, they said that was so special, and anything they can do for her in the future, just let them know. I'm so very grateful for these kids and to Smoothie King!!!”

“So, we ordered the Pot Roast for Thanksgiving and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. Every bit as good as the Turkey we got from them last year. Our family highly recommends Arrow entrees for any of your holiday needs. Oh, and just in case you want to try it you can hopefully get it as an entree at Arrow Bodega.”

“Absolutely love this zoo!”

“This is a fun place to hang out with friends! Friendly staff and lots of fun drinks/shots”

“I love there ice cream and the owner and the workers and the friendly staff”

“1derful hiiiiiiiiiiiigh iron veggie quiches & chicken salads, & Thank U God for lettin' Radina's be the highest iron restaurant!, esp this week! (-:-D (-i-)”

“I've been to goodcents all over Kansas & had not good experiences to say the least.. I started coming to this one after my daughter moved to manhattan. Always a great experience. Morgan ( I think that was her name?) is always so helpful & friendly, so is the rest of staff. The food is good, & the restaurant is clean which is where the other stores I've been to are severely lacking. I look forward to eating here when I can make the drive down from out of town”

“Had a burger, tots and a beer. Burger was exactly as I asked for. Tots were crunchy and fried to perfection. They were really good. I know they’re just frozen Ore-Ida, most likely…but they were better than tots I’ve had most places. Beer was cold.”

“Micah is an angel from chik fil a heaven and I’d die for him Food is always 🔥 they feed up at least once a week, & it’s cute when they remember our names ❤️”

“Sushi was not fresh… felt really sick after. Tase just like gas station sushi”

“I had the best service tonight! Jonathan was our server and he was so attentive and prompt with everything! I did a last minute order change and he was so quick to get it figured out quickly. The food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend asking for Jonathan if you come here. Not only was he friendly but he was very Patient with my kids! 10 out of 10!!!!!!”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Manhattan is the 115th different location the Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“Never been to one so it was cool.They had a lot going on from the candy apples, to the brownies, to the chocolate cover pretzels. It all looked good but keep the eye on the prize and got ice cream.For two scoops of two different flavors with sprinkles mixed in for a small cup it costed $5.18 which didn’t think was bad if it gives you a frame of reference for the price.”

“This Starbucks has the most amazing manager. She is always smiling and very welcoming! She makes sure you are happy with your purchase and that your drink is just how you like it.”

“Best and biggest burritos along with their tacos”

“Staff always friendly and beverages perfect!”

“Always friendly service with a smile”

“I’m leaving my original scooters review on here, but I just went back through the drive-through and was pleased that I got the best scooter service that I am used to the girls were so kind. My order came out so fast so I just wanted to edit my review on here just to show that people have bad daysbut overall scooters is an But overall scooters is a great company and I love being a customer…..Over all really love scooters . Great drinks and really fast service always,even when busy. I was really excited to try The scooters in Kansas, as I am, am new to town. But iv had a bad experience every time iv gone so far. Don’t know if I just go on an off day but iv just experienced slightly rude baristas hopping they are just going though other life things and next time I go in it’s better because I do really love scooters . Sending best wishes.”

“Stopped in for a late lunch and we received excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommended the Asiago club!”

“Great food and cocktails with friendly, attentive staff.”

“The employees though somewhat kind seemed to not want to be there and seemed to be messing up orders back to back. They need light music in the background and something festive put up in the dining area (it's almost Christmas and there isn't a smile in sight for crying out loud)”

“The employees I would like to recognize is the one with the blueish green in her hair and a younger taller kid w glasses on night crew, She has been there since it opened. Always very pleasant, and always busy. Every time we go there she always up and down the counter area but always make time to talk w customers. We went there for dinner one night and had a bad experience, food not right, ppl standing around, and the dining area wasnt very clean. A younger employee with glasses offered to fix our order and was very pleasant. There was a guy w a culvers hoodie on and another lady was there who had a baby and was behind the counter, then came back out w no baby and just joined in w the ppl just standing. I will continue to go there but def not at night”

“This is my most favorite restaurant till now at Manhattan! Absolutely delicious food, great presentation. Parking available nearby, and comparatively very inexpensive. Perfect atmosphere for a family retreat, and the soup costs only $1.55 to start with! Fast service. Will be back for sure!”
