“I was in Onaga, KS (staying in Centralia, KS) for school with some classmates and we headed to Manhattan, KS for a day trip. All 5 of us are from California. All but one are from larger cities, so the Kansas life was a culture shock to us and we needed some city time on our free day. I'm a foodie, so...Of course, I checked out Yelp to find us an early dinner spot. So Long Saloon came up with good ratings, so we headed there. The menu is pretty simple by my standards. Most of us ordered burgers and I got an order of fried pickles to share. "Frickles," if you will. Haha. The frickles were a big hit with me and my classmates. I've never had fried pickles that were so crunchy before. And I loved my burger. I forget what it was called, but it have a deliciously soft fried egg in it with a yolk that burst on my first bite. If I ever find myself in Kansas again, I'd try to stop by here. I really want to try their peanut butter burger. The service was FANTASTIC. We had multiple people checking up on us. They were super attentive and incredibly friendly. The saloon and decorated as one would expect a saloon to be. I love that casual, dive type of feel, so I loved it. Don't be alarmed to find stuffed animals everywhere you go in Kansas. Seems to be a staple around there.“

“I used to eat here at least 1-2x week when I was working downtown, and I have eaten most of what's on the menu. The menu rotates seasonally, I believe, and honestly there will be something for everybody, you gotta go try it out. The servers, bartenders, cooks, and hostesses work together so well and so seamlessly that eating small plated offerings and drinking cocktails feels more like social hour than lunch or dinner. Also, the craft cocktails are so fun and delicious, and of course the bourbon! I gotta tell ya--the cakes and cookies are sooo good, if you go for one thing, check out the bakery at the back of the restaurant. *disclaimer After eating all the cakes and cookies I have to make my body smaller now to fit the scale!“

One of the best burgers I have ever had, the cheese was nice and strong, burger was cooked absolutely perfectly, bacon was done just the way I like it. The mac bites were just as good, creamy and crispy and just absolutely perfect with their S tier ranch. Will have to make the time to go in and person, but i can say I strongly reccomend the foo!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at “The Chef” for breakfast, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. My wife and I opted for the Crab Cake Benedict and the Smoked Salmon Florentine Frittata, and we were blown away by the flavors and presentation.Despite the bustling crowd, our food arrived hot and impeccably prepared. The Crab Cake Benedict was a delightful combination of succulent crab cakes, perfectly poached eggs, and rich hollandaise sauce, while the Smoked Salmon Florentine Frittata was a symphony of flavors with its fluffy texture and savory smoked salmon.The only downside was the wait time, understandable given the restaurant’s popularity, but the exceptional quality of the food more than made up for it.Moreover, the service was top-notch. Our waitress was attentive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. Her friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our dining experience.In conclusion, “The Chef” offers not only delicious breakfast options but also outstanding service that leaves a lasting impression. I cannot wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable breakfast experience.“

“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“

“This is a hidden gem in the K-State student union that offers a fantastic dining experience with top notch food! The pretzel sticks are amazing and soft. The dipping sauces for the pretzels add a lot of flavor one is mustard based and the other is cheese! The pulled pork sandwiches are great and the BBQ sauce trio are delicious poured on top. Overall the food is amazing and well worth a visit. I can't wait to eat here again.“

The food was a hit with everyone and there was nothing left at the end of the night. Apparently the ranch dressing is the best around because there was a “fight” on who got to take the left over ranch home with them! It was a great time and I highly recommend Old Chicago to anyone needing a catered event.“

Serena's customer service is INCREDIBLE! She is kind, patient, knows the product and is friendly and genuinely seems happy to be there! We appreciate her service and Culver's should strive to hire more employees like that.“

It was delicious, and Whitney checked to make sure I was completely satisfied. Best french fries I think I've ever had. Them came the bread pudding and they're had been no exaggeration, it was a huge slice, warm, with carmel sauce. I was raised on bread pudding and this definitely did not disappoint. So good. I'll be back, absolutely.“
