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!“

“Excellent food (lobster deviled eggs, avocado toast platter, mimosas and espresso martini). Everything was delicious. Avocado toast platter had lots of options for building toast and all were delicious. Excellent attentive service. We were there for hours chatting, sharing mimosas. We were never rushed. Always a treat to go to First Mile. Thank you for a wonderful morning.“

“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“

“Great pizza, and the buffalo flats were awesome! Leftovers heat up really well too.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 !“

“Poppie’s has amazing food and friendly staff who remember your name. You can tell the food is made with love. I’m always excited that they have so many vegan options. A+“

“We attended Princess Night and it was awesome. From the woman who took my call and RSVP over the phone, to our server, and the princesses, everything was very well done on such a busy night. Thank you Bubba’s for hosting this event.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I know everyone raves about the burgers here, but what I find exceptional are the catfish and fried okra. The fish is fried to perfection. One day, I'll have to try it blackened. Louis is a tried and true Cajun Chef Extraordinaire proven by the freshest and tastiest beans and rice I've ever had. Also, by the okra. It's my go-to side dish for whatever I'm having.
The burgers are a little over-done for my taste. When I remember to order it on the medium to medium-rare, it's perfection!
Oh, and for you city-dwellers, the 15-20 minutes it takes to drive to Rose Hill is worth it.“

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

“I LOVE BRADLEY HES THE BEST“

“Got the Culver deluxe, cole slaw, reese's dish ice cream. Burger was well seasoned, toppings all fresh, sauce was like a tangy ranch which was really good. It's hard to find cole slaw I like it had just the right zing. Ice cream was soft serve with good portion of reese's. Portions are kind of like everwhere now days so wont knock that part. Ordering went smooth once you get in the right lane.lol Will go back for sure.“

“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!“

“Visited while staying at the Hyatt.

Honestly, one of the best hotel restaurants I've been to.

Nice people. Good selection of mid to top shelf alcohol. Solid food.

I was skeptical, but the restaurant was solid enough I would recommend it even if someone wasn't staying at the hotel.“

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

“best breakfast in town for the money“

“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.“

“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.“

“fun time, great place good fo“

“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.“

“Best breakfast ever! Food was absolutely amazing, and service was fantastic. We had the smothered burrito and the Shocker scramble. Employees were attentive and on the ball, and the place was very clean. Obviously a well run place! Don’t miss it if you’re in Wichita.“

“Fantastic food and service. My son,daughter in law and myself had dinner there last night. Our server was Alyssa. Excellent meal and service!!! Definitely will be returning!!!“

“I visited The Monarch on saturday with my girlfriend and her brother. I got the roast beef sandwich with chips, he got the buffalo mac and she got the chicken caprese. We all enjoyed our food and had a good time. The place was pretty busy but the wait really wasnt bad. I hope to come back soon.“

“Very solid BBQ. I get the Q Club sandwich combo and each time it is consistently good. I enjoy the fries the best but all the sides have been good. Great portion sizes. Staff has always been helpful and friendly. Never have to wait to long to either order or receive my meal. A little cramped dining area but restaurant is clean. Definitely worth giving it a try if you like BBQ.“

“Jimmy is a fantastic server he serviced us on Sunday and today and his manners was well perceived he seems to be a very hard worker and I would always like him to be my server“

“Ordered the sampler and Beer Cheese Waffle fries. Everything was good except the wings. The wings were very chewy(rubbery). They were either old or not cooked all the way. I would definitely recommend the waffle fries. Service and cleanliness of the restaurant was excellent!“

“EXCELLENT!!! We were in Wichita for one day and the husband wanted breakfast. We found this gem on trip advisor and gave it a go.
Greeted at the door by friendly faces and were waited on quickly.
Restaurant, though in an old building was spotless!
I had the liver & onions - not a dish all chefs can manage but this was just right! Not cooked to death. Tender & juicy. Real mashed potatoes and the best ranch I’ve ever had (better than Mazzios!).
Hubby had a classic breakfast. All fresh, hot & cooked to perfection.
Did I mention their rolls. 🤤 Coffee was great too!
The only thing I’d change is real butter for those incredible rolls & biscuits.“

“Great food & drinks! Great service too!“

“Shrimp tacos are fabulous. Great service. Chilled atmosphere for the lunch crowd. 5 star“

“My husband and I came here to get some better crab legs than the other place across the way. Jessica was our bartender/ server. She was very friendly, had a great personality, and did an amazing job. The food came out in a timely fashion and it was delicious!!! I would highly recommend this Red Lobster!! We will be back. :)“

“We ate here for the first time and we’ll definitely be coming back. The food was amazing, but what really made our experience special was our waitress, Cyanna. She was incredibly kind, funny, and patient with us and had us smiling and laughing the entire time. She checked in at just the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and truly made us feel welcome.
It’s rare to have service that makes the whole experience this enjoyable. Cyanna is exactly the kind of employee that keeps customers coming back. She’s a big reason we’ll be coming back and requesting her every time. She truly deserves recognition for the incredible service she provides. Thank you for such a great first experience!“

“I grabbed lunch here for the first time because its close to work. It was so delicious, and fresh as well. The inside looked very clean and the staff was friendly my only regret is that I didn't order more. Will definitely be coming back more often now.“

A lot of black/white photos of pioneering new ways ground beef, doing more on hot dogs, chlile. I get out my way...have a tall frozen mug of root 🍺 & chile w/ bean's at the White Stone Bldg.“
