We stopped by with a party of six and had a very disappointing experience before we were even…read moreseated. The gentleman who initially greeted us was friendly, welcoming, and working to find us a table. While he was doing that, an older blonde woman came to the hostess stand, asked if we were with the baseball team already seated, and when we said no, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait for food because there were only two people working. It felt less like setting expectations and more like she was trying to discourage us from staying. When the host returned to seat us, we mentioned we were reconsidering because of how we had been treated. The woman then came back and told him the kitchen couldn't handle our party of six. Given the mixed messages and unwelcoming attitude, we decided to leave. The host was great, but the interaction with the other employee ensured we won't be back.

Great recommendations and attention to detail. bar: I drink an LBC 'lectric IPA ($8 as of 08/2026). Tons of great and interesting tap offerings. Super helpful big LED screen over the taps so you can see what is available. The alcoholic shakes look really interesting. Note the great Monday happy hour offerings. food: Lots of veggie burger options and my wife went with the awesome black bean burger ($11). The roasted poblano salsa is spicy, but great. I had a classic burger ($12). We also over-ordered with onion rings ($10) and regular fries ($4.50). details: Unless you're sitting at the bar, order at the end of the bar and wait for them to call your name. Booths along one side downstairs and some seating upstairs. Parking on Mass out front or in free lot in back. There is a back entrance off the alley.

If you're looking for a casual place with great food, endless sauce options, and excellent customer service, this is definitely worth a visit.

If you're heading to Danny's Burger Shack, just know one thing up front, there might be a wait. But…read moreafter trying both the PB & J Burger and the Sweet Heat Burger... yeah, it's worth it. The PB & J Burger sounds wild on paper, but it absolutely works. The peanut butter brings that rich, savory creaminess, and paired with the jalapeño jelly, it hits this perfect sweet-with-a-kick balance that keeps every bite interesting. It's one of those burgers that makes you stop after the first bite like, "okay... this is legit." The Sweet Heat Burger leans even more into that flavor combo. The sweetness comes through first, then the heat builds, and that jalapeño jelly really ties it all together, adding both sweetness and a subtle spice that doesn't overpower the burger itself. It's bold, messy in the best way, and just really well executed. Neither of these quite cracked my personal #1 burger of all time, but they're not far off. Both were seriously delicious, packed with flavor, and easily worth trying if you're in the area.

We stopped by Dempsey's for a Sunday night dinner when we were passing through Lawrence, KS…read more Dempsey's has a casual, lively vibe and wasn't overly crowded so we were seated right away. Our service was quick and friendly. Unfortunately, we were not as impressed by the food. We both ordered the Thai PBB burger, which is described on the menu as "House made thai peanut butter sauce, bacon, pineapple chutney, sriracha aioli." However, this burger came covered in cranberries, which added an odd Thanksgiving juxtaposition to the Thai theme. Our fries were very good, and we received a huge bowl of them with various sauces. Maybe we just got unlucky with our burgers and I would be open to giving this restaurant another try.

Overall, this is a great burger spot, and I'd definitely come back. I accidentally ordered the…read morewrong burger, but that was completely on me, not the restaurant. I ordered the charbroiled burger with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, and bacon. It was cooked well, but I realized I'm just not a fan of that distinct charbroiled flavor. You might ask, "Then why did you order it?" Fair question. I'd never had a burger with such a pronounced charbroiled taste before, so now I know it's just a personal preference, not a reflection of the burger itself. We also ordered the Farmer burger with an egg, cheddar cheese, and bacon, along with a plain cheeseburger. The plain cheeseburger was fantastic. The patties are a nice, average size. They're not massive, but they're satisfying and full of flavor. For sides, we tried the curly fries, crinkle fries, and tater tots. The crinkle fries were our favorite. Also, don't skip the homemade ranch. It was excellent. The real standout, though, was the staff. They were cheerful, helpful, and incredibly fast. The place was packed because of the fair, but everyone was hustling and keeping things running smoothly. I pride myself on leaving honest reviews, so I do have to mention the one downside: the flies. There were quite a few inside. I'm sure the heat and the fair/rodeo traffic made it worse, but it was definitely noticeable and annoying while eating. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and I'd happily come back. Next time, I'll skip the charbroiled burger simply because I've learned that flavor isn't for me.
