50 Best American Restaurants near Mcconnell Air Force Base

“Very good as DFACs go. Especially if you have airmen Puryear on the grill. We were visiting base and got to enjoy a few meals there made by several different airmen. He was the best. Everything he made was fresh, hot, moist and delicious and he did it with a smile and friendly help. Most things seemed fast food style which was ok for us but I'll bet tiring for troops. Also, some servings were very slim. I'm a 120 lb 50yr old female and I wanted more, so I'd assume it would not be enough for active duty. Overall, we enjoyed it. It is open for all with base access. Enjoy!“

“Great food with unique twists! Presentation was excellent! Charlie provided amazing service!! Great birthday lunch with my employer/friend and it was easy to visit without lots of noise. Absolutely exceeded my expectations which are very high!!“

“Redrock Canyon Grill last night for a birthday dinner. There was double booking on our reservation that we placed a week ago, and we got the short end of the stick. Poor communication aside though, here's how dinner went. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer, and when it came out, the plate had like 6 chips on it. Seemed pretty steep for the price ($15), but we asked for more chips and they brought out an entire plate more for free. It came with the dip, as well as a small cup of salsa. Both tasted great! Extra chips made up for the perceived lack of portion size. For a main course, I got the 10oz Filet with mashed potatoes, and "something green" (green beans). The Filet was excellently prepared at requested "medium", with a ton of flavor! It was a stark contrast to what we got at Salt**ass. Tender, juicy, and well seasoned, with a nice crust! Sizes came in 6oz(?), 10oz, and 14oz. Easily the best steak I've had at a restaurant. I wish I would've gotten the 14oz, but not because I was still hungry....I just didn't want to good time to end. 🥴 Next up was the mashed potatoes.....and ho-lee-sht. Creamy, full of flavor! I could be wrong, but i felt like I tasted onions in them? I dont really know what's in them for sure, but i feel like I need to create a Redrock Anonymous group to deal with the withdraw I will be battling, until we inevitably go back. Green beans were also excellent. Not a lot to go over in specifics, but they were awesome, and the perfect companion to the rest of the culinary masterpieces on my plate. Our waitress was super attentive, and quick to refill drinks before they were empty. Very knowledgeable in specials and pricing, and overall a great communicator. This was literally the best meal I've had out at a restaurant, period, and Redrock is likely going to be our go-to for celebrations, and date night's from now on. If you haven't been, you've gotta go! Food: 10/10 Value: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10“

“Just finished Mother’s Day dinner and decided to stop by for the first time and have nothing but great things to say . I got the lemon chicken picatta and I’m not lying when i say it was one of the best meals/pastas i have had in a while . Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned and our waitress was the sweetest , will definitely be going back soon !“

“Outstanding customer service and food !“

“Discovered Metro Bistro several years ago. I’m from Topeka & come to Andover/Wichita frequently & Metro Bistro has become a favorite! Their service is friendly & efficient, the chef is amazing & dishes are different than any other restaurant. Love the music & unique atmosphere. Highly recommend! 5 Stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and a great staff! Love the plant based options!!“

“love coming to Bubbas. beers cold, food is good, BUT the staff makes it our "go to place". We look for The Orange Jeep every time we come. Jeremy is top notch with his Patrons. 100/100 recommend this place strictly for what he adds to the experience“

“Da chicken shak and more at 31st and Seneca food is always hot and fresh and they are always putting extra chicken tenders in. My seven year old son loves the chicken tenders and french fries.“

“If you’re looking for some great southern comfort food and amazing hospitality, check out Louis Rose Hill Cafe. Loui is super nice and really cares about everyone that comes to his restaurant. Also, when you go, get the corn fritters. They’re addictive!“

“my husband and I went for the the first time yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. I love that they keep the potatoes in the warmer and then place them back in the warmer after adding the toppings. The food was delicious and the workers were so nice. We would 100% go back.“

“Usually, nostalgia is a sensation that comes from a time period you experienced yourself. Many of us didn’t experience the ‘50s, but diners are apart of the American landscape that chances are you have great memories in a ‘50s themed diner, or at least relate to it as a symbol of American culture. Thanks Jimmie's Diner for keeping that nostalgia going!! Our server, Flash was outstanding he was very friendly and personable. we had a good conversation with him aswell. our food was right on par and the presentation looked great. we fi shed our lunch with a giant sundae. Thanks Jimmie's and your staff for making our lunch a memorable one as always!“

“Lotusflow, Dj sunshine & Zealr the absolute best!! Love 🫶🫶🫶 can’t wait to come back to brickyard. Staff are professional and personable“

“We recently hosted our truck group’s holiday party at The Depot Wichita, and it was an incredible experience! We reserved the 2nd floor attic bar, which was the perfect space for our large group. The venue was decorated for the holidays, adding a warm and festive touch that made the event even more special. The staff were absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was fantastic, and the festive drinks were a big hit! The Depot Wichita has a wonderful atmosphere and all the amenities you could need. If you’re looking for a spot to host a party or event, I highly recommend them. They truly went above and beyond to make our celebration a success. Thank you for helping us create such a memorable afternoon!“

“Regularly eat here and we have used the space for business meetings numerous times. Excellent space for collaboration and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. Shout out to Shane who made sure I got a special gluten free (and delicious) dessert today!“

“Great little hidden gem. People were very friendly. Food was delicious and came out quick. The shrimp were FANTASTIC!! Definitely worth a try.“

“I LOVE BRADLEY HES THE BEST“

“Aislyn is FANTASTIC! She is very attentive, friendly, and took the time to chat with me during lunch yesterday. She offered to help an elderly man out as he struggled to leave. What a sweetheart. She is gorgeous and very pregnant. I love that TP has supported her in continuing to work throughout her journey. Go see this momma and help her out!! ❤️“

“We had the taco's and they were amazing, generously filled. Loved them! My husband said David was a nice guy. Going to try the enchiladas very soon. Highly recommend!“

“We enjoyed a lovely evening at The Greens for our car club Christmas. We reserved a room for 30+ people, had a few servers (Calvin was amazing) who did a fantastic job with drinks, food orders, and making sure we had an enjoyable time. We created a short menu which they printed out to assist with meal options. The Greens has a great bar, dining area, and extra banquet halls, in additional to the gold course. Thank you.“

“For being a hotel restaurant, the food was actually pretty good! I would have chosen to eat here even without the convenience factor of it being in the hotel. The only downside was that on multiple nights, they were completely unprepared for a larger crowd, despite being a convention hotel. For several nights in a row, our convention event was done at 7p, and they seemed completely unprepared staffing wise. We had to wait almost an hour to be seated one night because they were only seating about 1/3 of their tables. You would think being a convention hotel, they would be more used to a large group of people with similar schedules.“

“We want you to bring back the Voodoo Pasta. The staff wants it back, as well. The Cajun shrimp and the chicken parm that replaced it just isn’t as good.“

“Had the Bacon Brauts & 3AM Nachos, both were incredible!!“

“Had the brisket Mac and cheese egg roll, southwest chicken egg roll, and voodoo fries. Egg roll consistency was awesome, shells nice and crispy! Voodoo fries were the big win. Covered in various sauces and andouille sausage. We will be be going out of our way to find them again! Seriously… try the voodoo fries.“

“Waitress was attentive, food portions was more than I could eat but I ordered big breakfast for me and my cousin The hungry woman and the slop , bill was a little pricey coming in at $50 for two with that said I was glad to pay it because of the service and quality and no small portions here .“

“His name is Tristan, he is our server almost every time we go to Applebees in derby. I swear this guy is the best we’ve ever encountered from any restaurant we’ve been to. He makes it a 5 star experience every time we go. I keep meaning to leave a review about him and keep forgetting. Next time you go ask to be in his section and you will not be disappointed. I hope management sees this and realizes this.“

“It was a little hectic, and on waiting and communication on the staff was a little off. Once we got seated, though, the waiter was very nice and friendly. Very attentive and very helpful. The food was really, really good. The steaks were like cutting through butter and very flavorful. Super Amazing!The Lobster was a little to fishy tasting but wasn't too bad. The baked potato was really good and fresh and the brussel sprouts were Amazing as well!Got pictures but after we started eating. Overall, was pretry good experience and food was great! Would for sure go again and recommend to others. For as busy as they were they were really good on getting food out quick.“

“My mother is from Wichita, and I was on a cross country road trip that just happened to go through Wichita; She didn't insist that I go by and say hello to grandma and grandpa's grave or catch up with our cousins; NO she only insisted that I get 2 cases of frozen NuWays to bring back to Florida; she called in an order the day I was to pass through. I got there just minutes before they closed and they had it ready for me to go on my way back to Florida. You guys are the best people ever and I hope to pass through again .“

“Excellent place, make sure you try the pepper relish.“
