50 Best American Restaurants in Wichita

“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!! ❤️“

“Kaylyn is always so sweet and attentive, always ask me how I am doing, even if I do not sit at one of her tables. The girls at Twin Peaks all act like they are sisters/best friends. Their close friendships with each other and team spirit always puts me in a great mood. U.V., Taylor, Mati, Sav and so many others go out of their way to help. I am a busy insurance agent and I do lots of my work from the Twin Peaks table, in between appointments. It works out great for me.“

“Had a fantastic dinner with my family this evening!! All the staff were friendly and accommodating and not only were all of our meals so delicious, the dessert was top notch!! Everything was cooked to perfection. Best Salmon Salad I’ve ever had in my life!! Good job, Wichita Red Rock!! The manager, Veronica, was so nice and checked on us, and our server, Drew, was on top of everything. We had a great evening. Bonus: good ranch dressing!!“

“We went for brunch and had a few dishes. I had the spicy porchetta hash and it was very unique, yummy and satisfying. Daughter had the most amazing French toast topped with a cinnamon icing and fruit. Husband had the steak frites sandwich. It was excellent but a little too juicy for my taste (bread got a little soggy towards the end). Overall, a very delicious meal. Can't wait to come back for dinner!“

“Best pizza in the Midwest. You will not be disappointed. Had pizza, Italian salad and wine! Will definitely be back with friends! Thanks“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We started regularly going here (west wichita location) about 8 months ago. Dine in once and multiple carry outs. This place never misses! Fast, friendly, prompt, delicious, accurate. They check every box for us. 🥰“

“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 !“

“Your new gluten free crust is the best I’ve ever had!!!! 10/10!!!“

“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+“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing restaurant! Food was spectacular! I had the BBQ Mac and Cheese, and it was the best Mac and cheese I've ever had (don't tell my mom). Prices were SUPER reasonable. And only a 20 minute wait during lunch rush hour on a weekday. Also a loud establishment, so if you're looking for somewhere quiet for a date night then this is not the place. Although they have outdoor seating which may prove to be better for that reason.“

“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“

“have been in love with these since 4th grade. I'm 70 now. I love the steam fried yumminess of these unique sandwiches! The root beer is beyond compare!! I miss the tip tops! The chili made with Mannings brick chili mixed with the steam fried hamburger and pinto beans ...a Winner!“

“First time trying Culver’s after a long day shooting basketball and it definitely lived up to the hype. The Double Culver’s Deluxe with bacon was really good, fries were solid, and the Oreo + Reese’s concrete mixer was the perfect finish. Service was fast, restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly. Definitely coming back.“

“We ate here tonight and had an absolutely PHENOMENAL server-his name was Ty and he was the best server we’ve ever had. I just wanted to put that out there for him to get recognition for a job very well done 😀“

“Wonderful experience, our server was friendly, best place to eat.“

“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.“

“The service was incredible the people are so friendly and constantly are coming by to check on us and fill drinks and see if we need anything else the service was great. I ordered the 12 oz prime rib with green beans and baked potato. The prime rib was okay, but definitely not what I expected. It was only 5:30 in the evening, pretty early but no choices on medium rare or even medium. It was gray in color and not very flavorful. I hate to complain about it, but I was not impressed. Everything else was really good. The prime rib was tender, but it did not have the appearance I expected.“

“My 1st time to a Culver's 👍🙌 Great food and even better service. Steph was amazing taking care of all our needs!!! Thank you Steph, West Wichita America 🫶🙌“

“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.“

“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. :)“

“Great food“

“best breakfast in town for the money“

“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!“

“Excellent service, the staff was very friendly, and the food was delicious. My sandwich was huge—I’ve already eaten half of it—and my husband ordered a rack of ribs that he absolutely loved; the meat fell right off the bone like butter.“

“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.“

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

“Overall a 5-star experience. The food is outstanding except for only 1 recurring issue. This is our second time there for breakfast. They just can't cook extra crispy hashbrowns. Go there for the rest of the food, as that is outstanding.“

“The food was fantastic, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our server. He was knowledgeable about the menu, incredibly attentive, and made sure we never needed a thing. His energy and professionalism elevated the entire meal. The dishes were delicious on their own, but the service took it to another level. Do yourself a favor—stop in, enjoy the food, and hope you’re lucky enough to be seated in his section.“

“Restaurant has a nice atmosphere, tables for two are nicely placed where conversation can be had and heard. The bacon wrapped filet was delicious, perfectly cooked, soft like butter, very tender and flavorful. The crème brûlée cheesecake was delightful, very sweet.“

“Sally was our waitress and she was the highlight of our experience. she was fun and friendly and I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about going to cracker barrel.“

“Cinthia does my whole family, friends, and work caterings. From small gatherings to big family weddings— we all always look forward to her food. It’s all delicious!!! From Mexican, pastas, charcuteries, and desserts, everything is always delicious. Professional & timely. We love her!“

“Great food & drinks! Great service too!“

“Wonderful food and service! Thank you so much!!!“

“We love Rene's on Pawnee, maybe a little too much my eyes are usulally bigger than my stomach. My kids and I shared some carne asada fries and half of some bacon burritos and chile relleno. All the food was warm and tasted great. Fast, friendly service. Definetly gi e it a tey, even if you do t have time to dine in you can always doordash, or drive thru. I highly recommend it. The pictures dont do the food justice. Price and size are also a plus be prepared to have left overs. 😁“

“Awesome staff, delicious food, and fabulous parties!!! Best place in Wichita!!!“

“great food and service my kind of atmoshere !“

“This place was amazing! Service was excellent and amazing food!“

“OMG. I have enjoyed NuWays forever and neglected to write a review. We went there today for a late lunch and our NuWays were perfect! The tots were nice and crispy-just the way I like them. We splurged and had a root beer freeze. It was good but needed a little more root beer flavor.

Our server was very attentive and prompt. I don’t remember the name of the lady that used to own NuWay and made many herself but the NuWay I had today tasted how I remember she made them. I wished more people frequented them as they are very tasty!.“

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

“fun time, great place good fo“
