Love a dive bar with some ambiance, history, and bar fare, so I was very excited when a colleague…read moresuggested the Artichoke for a quick sandwich and a beer for lunch while in Wichita for a conference. When we walked in, immediately we got seated (it was lunch on a Saturday)--got us a nice little booth with some green lit ambiance. The server checked on us to get our drinks quickly and then returned to take our order--definitely did an awesome job and thanks to the staff for all their work. Other reviews mentioned that the food wasn't necessarily the best or made in house--I can't speak to that, but I will say that the sandwich and potato salad hit the spot for me. This was exactly what I was looking for as a quick bite! I got the Famous #8 with potato salad as a side, and I ate that all up. They also had some domestic and local beers on draft, so I got an El Dorado company brew, and it hit the spot. The general Irish vibe was great, and if I get back to Wichita, I'll definitely be planning to hit up the Artichoke!

Food: 2/5 The food looked good but was basic bar fare for sure. Nothing great and in a sea of bars…read morewhere the kitchens make their own dressing, this place does not, at least not the blue cheese. The soup is also not homemade, but it was good and was clearly from elsewhere. My sandwich was not enjoyable. As BLTs go, it was difficult to eat; the shredded lettuce was a fail, fallout everywhere, and not sure what kind of mayo they used but the flavor was not what I was expecting at all. The salad was sad for the up charge and similarly difficult to eat. My husband's sandwich was better, their signature number 8, but nothing to TikTok about. Service: 4/5 Good but not that friendly compared to the vibes the bar was giving. There was a disconnect somewhere. Ambiance: 3/5 The music started out too loud for how dead the bar was. Literally, it was us and about 6 other people but the live music was extremely loud. The singers were clearly professionals but they set themselves up for a fuller bar and were a little louder than the space required with that few people. I get that live music is loud and they eventually adjusted but initially it was jarring. They were good, but the lead singer was louder than her accompanying singer/ guitarist. I felt sad that they didn't get the chance to mix themselves better at the outset. Overall, this place should cut down their menu to items that are their best and probably have their live singers mix taking into account the number of patrons. I would probably come back but not as my first choice.

Staff was friendly, and the music playlist was really perfect. and the biggest thing was them helping me out after I left my debit card there. My family and I were traveling home to Colorado, and we stopped for a midday meal. I left my card in the bill holder and didn't realize it until I arrived back home (some 6 hours away). I reached out to the restaurant, and they did indeed have my card, and were kind enough to put it in the mail, saving me great inconvenience of changing all my bank info! Will definitely consider another visit the next time we travel through Wichita!

Not sure if it was watered down because it was the end of the day or what. We got there at 2:35 and asked if it was ok. She said yes the kitchen is still open. As soon as it was a little after 3 they started sweeping and cleaning all around us. It made us uncomfortable, and I felt like I needed to hurry. We decided to order desert, she must have over heard us and said, the kitchen was closed. And the cash register had been closed out. When we went to use the restroom, before we left she abruptly said...the restroom was being cleaned. Bad food, unfriendly service, needless to say, we will not be going back!

Old Mill Tasty Shop sounded interesting. It's in an interesting Old Town area that had free parking and art on the street to enjoy. It wasn't too far off I35, so it became a nice break during a day of driving. The atmosphere inside was just as quaint. This is a classic soda fountain. We showed up well after noon, so getting in wasn't hard. I can see how it might get tough at times though. I had the Reuben and it was textbook. My daughter got the chicken salad sandwich on the fluffiest white break you've seen. We both chose the side salad, which was a delightful mix of greens with sprouts. I had to finish off the meal with a vanilla malt. It was not clear to me if they made the ice cream, but they were generous with the malt. Best malt I've had in years. Only problem was I sucked it down and should have bought a second one.

You know the ones that make their own Coca-Cola and Root Beer floats? That vibe! My server was absolutely amazing! Offered a wonderful smile and the service to match! Now for the food: I was persuaded to try the special of the day by the server, which was something called "the Sancho." The server was adamant that Wichita, KS has the best Mexican food (her words, not mine). I am very critical of Mexican food, one because I am Mexican, and two, because I grew up in southern Arizona, which actually has the best Mexican food, and there's no convincing me otherwise. Let's just say the "The Sancho" was by far the most Caucasian rendition of the burrito I have ever tried. Not good at all.. If I ever return to Wichita, I would come back to this place for the atmosphere and the amazing service, but I'll definitely try something on the menu that's not Mexican food, just to be safe. Give this place a shot! Happy eating, my foodies!
