    A stout red-headed adolescent checks her phone as her frown deepens with each passing minute…read morestanding in front of the Waffle Wagon. Eventually she is handed a waffle, though it's all she can do to stifle her frustration when she reads the name on the ticket, realizes she was accidentally handed someone else's order, and finds the proper recipient. Her father, after done perusing the other food trucks in the vicinity, stops by to make sure everything is okay. With utter disdain, she reveals she's been waiting for nearly Ten. Whole. Minutes. Nothing is made of it, and she is soon provided with her waffle. It is then I understand why "It's worth the wait!" is written among other encouraging statements in glass marker around the window of the man taking orders. Taking the cardinal rule of doing one thing and doing it really well, Waffle Wagon offers Belgian Liège waffles and nothing else. Fortunately, this is a novelty worth tracking down: this version of the popular breakfast food is turned into a confection by increasing the sugar content, culminating in tiny bits of pearl sugar that caramelize and provide an incredibly crispy exterior while the interior stays fluffy. It's a waffle that has the syrup built in. It was so sweet it gave me a stomachache after I powered through the whole thing. Waffle Wagon blurs the lines between food truck and carnival concession stand: it has no social media presence and given their extremely limited menu it's hard to imagine them finding an audience outside of tagging along with one of the other established food trucks, but they provide an opportunity to try something you're not otherwise going to find in Wichita, and they do it very well. It really is worth the wait.

    There's no doubt these waffles are absolutely, melt-in-your-mouth amazing! But what I wouldn't…read moregive if they would only serve chicken too! To the owners: Ladies, you are as sweet as your waffles! Please consider the chicken idea. You could easily prep some tenders or breasts ahead of time then dip them in batter and toss them in a fry daddy. It would take up very little space in your truck and immediately triple your business. Charge $9.95 for chicken and waffle in a paper dish and make a mint while making the patrons of Wichita deliriously happy!

    To begin with our waitress, Tatiana, was outstanding. She is top knotch. I wanted to take her back…read moreto SC to train others here but unfortunately that was not possible. The food was outstanding. I ordered the chicken fried steak, mac and cheese and salad. I was a bit concerned when the Mac and cheese came out,it looked like boxed but when my lips hit it I was taken aback. It was one of the best I ever had. My mom had the short ribs with mashed potatoes and spinach and she raved about how good it was. We went back the next day for breakfast and them Grits were soooo good. Not sure how they got them so creamy and buttery, and cheesy but they did!! I have to brag on the coffee too. A must try! I will fly back out there again just to have the experience. Small town with a big personality. And thank you Sherriff Terry for your warm welcome :)

    I have watched Pioneer Woman for years and have made several recipes from her cookbooks. I have…read morealways wanted to go to Pawhuska and had the opportunity to while in Oklahoma with some girlfriends. The drive was beautiful. When we arrived, we made lunch reservations. We had plenty of time, so we looked around the Mercantile. I was a bit disappointed in the merchandise that was displayed for sale. It was also, very expensive. We then went upstairs to the bakery. I purchased a couple of cookies for my husband which he said were good. When our lunch reservation was available, we were seated quickly. The service was a bit slow after being seated, considering the place was not packed with people. The biscuits and jelly that were brought to the table were delicious. Unfortunately, that was the best part of the meal. We ordered soup and a grilled cheese. I choose the tomato soup which was not soup. It was the consistency of tomato paste and tasted like it had been poured from the can, with a little bit of sherry and cheese on the top. Not only was it bitter, but it was also cold. One of my friends asked to exchange her tomato soup for the chicken tortilla soup. She said it had no seasonings and was cold. As for the grilled cheese, well it was not good at all. It had no taste to it, and it was not hot at all, which made it dry. I had to put salt on the outside to give enough taste to the sandwich in order to eat it. I was so disappointed as I had been telling my friends how wonderful the place was going to be. Would I return? Possibly to visit the town more but certainly would not visit or eat at the Mercantile again.
