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

“It was awesome food and very prompt to wait on you and get your food out to you, if you ever get a chance to go to Manhattan Kansas, stop and eat at the RockinK's to eat“

“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 worked at meadowlark for over a year and recently had to move back to my hometown. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed my time at meadowlark, and am proud to say that I used to work for them. I wish I could’ve picked up the facility and moved it all with me. No other facility can compete with the amount of attention and level of care that these residents receive. The households help it feel more like a home, and the staff is always kind and treat the residents with respect, and like they’re family. I work with a nurse at my new job who worked at meadowlark when he was in nursing school, and we’ve had so many good stories to share with each other and talk about how good of a facility meadowlark is. I miss so many staff members and residents dearly. I applaud you, meadowlark!!!“

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

“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!“

“Happened to be in Manhattan with me niece to have breakfast… Awesome food and the staff is very nice (thank you Jeanette!)“

“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“

“We had a wonderful experience with our son and daughter n law, today at your store. Food was great, And our server " Victoria" was truly amazing !!!! She truly gave us Legendary Service !!!!!“

“LongHorn Steakhouse didn’t serve me dinner — they delivered a spiritual awakening wrapped in grill marks.

I ordered the KC Strip cooked rare, and when that steak arrived, I swear a bald eagle screamed somewhere in the distance. That thing was so perfectly cooked it looked like the chef whispered motivational speeches to it before sending it out. Tender, juicy, and seasoned like it was blessed by the Steak Gods themselves.

Every bite had me reconsidering major life decisions. Why do I live anywhere that isn’t inside a LongHorn booth? Why have I wasted time eating foods that aren’t steak? Why isn’t this KC Strip protected by national treasure laws?

The staff was incredible too. My server somehow kept my drink full while watching me enter a full-on emotional relationship with this steak. No judgment. Just support.

And the sides? Incredible. The loaded baked potato showed up dressed better than I do for weddings.

10/10. If LongHorn ever starts a loyalty program where you trade your soul for unlimited rare KC Strips, I’m signing immediately.“

“Self service on the beer taps“

“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.“

“We’ve been coming to Early Edition for 20 years now and its excellent. No frills which I will take for the affordable prices. They are so lucky to have Amber running that place—she’s the best. We will be back and back for the next 20 years.“

“The burgers and fries were just wonderful.“

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

“By far, my favorite restaurant in Kansas!“

“Cordial atmosphere for a passionate Wildcat“

“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.“

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

“Caleb was our server, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was quick, personable, got the orders correct and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was great, but he made the visit much more enjoyable. Kudos to Caleb!!“

“I love Ihop“

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

“Went there after have “challenges” across the street.

They had a Trivia night, but most of the bar wanted to watch basketball. Our server called the owner and told us they’d be canceling the trivia night. Appreciate his fast action. Something we didn’t see across the street.

Food was fine. What you’d expect at a place like that. Our server was solid. Good dude.“

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

“Unwelcome as a female for a sports bar environment. Targeted as a female for being enthusiastic about a game when men were doing more than the females. Very gross, sexist place. Much better spots in Manhattan. We felt unsafe as a woman in this establishment.“
