Saw this place driving into town wanted to give it a shot. Feels like you stepped into a hometown diner from the 60's. Cassie was my server and was great this is definitely a locals spot to grab breakfast. The good itself is not anything special but the service and the vibe were great. Fun little place to hang with the locals. read more

Good prices, small town cafe, friendly service, feels like family. When we got there, there wasn't an empty table. A stranger (but probably a frequent diner) let us join her at her table. The food is good and inexpensive. Breakfast is delicious- love the biscuits and gravy! Coffee is free with a breakfast order (over $1.95). Prices are not inflated, are very reasonable, even for a family. I like the decorative Native American paintings and ornaments. A great place to meet the locals. read more

Every time I went it had awesome service and great food. Great price also. Had friend here and he stated wish we had it back home

Nice place to eat. Was in town for a week, diner type feel, friendly waitresses, and decent food that is outrageously well priced.

This place smells like old people and cigarettes. The staff is out of touch with customer service. It'd be better if they closed their doors. read more

Daisy Mae's Cafe - Chicken fried chicken, comes with 2 sides, salad and a dinner roll. Very Delicious - Cafes Near Me - Arkansas City, Kansas

Excellent food and a very wonderful atmosphere! They take their time to make sure that everything is done right the 1st time.

We stopped here for breakfast, and the food was fresh and hot, and cooked just the way we asked! The service was friendly and fast! The coffee was free, and the total price was so reasonable! We'll definitely eat here again the next time we're near. read more

This hidden away gem is a throwback to the original family owned restaurant. Makes sense since the restaurant has been there close to 100 years. Menu is full of comfort foods. We had breakfast and the price was unbelievably low considering prices everywhere else have gone up. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this place. read more

The service was excellent. The staff was not prepared for our party of 5 to walk in, but they handled our order with ease and grace. The food and coffee were excellent. I would happily go back if I get to Arkansas City again. read more

This is a cozy neighborhood diner with a polite and accommodating staff. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. If you are in the area and need a quick meal, Daisy Mae's is a good choice. read more

See all

Only went there because our chosen spot was closed. Food just average or less. Doesn't feel like it's had a deep cleaning in a while. The salad was just iceberg lettuce and dressing. The vegetables were straight out of a can and not even seasoned--very bland. read more

They have a cheap Sunday breakfast special of chicken fried steak, which we loved! We've never been here before and highly recommend coming here to enjoy their friendly atmosphere and great food for cheap. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes, which arrived in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Also, they were very quick! We didn't have to wait to be seated or for our food. read more

Daisy Mae's Cafe - Kids chocolate chip pancakes! - Cafes Near Me - Arkansas City, Kansas

Easy to find place has off street parking which is crowded at times. Good choices for dining. Breakfast anytime.

I reviewed this place several years ago and it has just gone downhill over the years. Most everything is heat and serve, very little real cooking going on. They can't get hashbrowns right, they pre-cook a lot of bacon and I understand that, but unless you ask them to heat it back up they serve it cold and greasy. Most wait staff are really nice but the building is falling apart and the cooking is sub-standard. At this point the place survives off of nostalgia and lack of competition. read more

Stopped in on our trip to the area,....this is what cafe's are supposed to be !! Full of character. Staff was great and friendly. I ordered Chicken fried steak breakfast and you could cut it with a fork !! so tender and flavorful. Would go out of my way to visit again ! read more

We rolled into Arkansas City one evening after a day of storm chasing. This was one of the only non-chain places that was open for dinner. You feel like you've been transported back into the 1950's when you step inside, thanks to the decor! It was filled with people who were mainly over 70 years old eating dinner. It was a cute little place with friendly service. The prices were very cheap which was great! I ordered a reuben sandwich. Best one I've ever had! At this little cafe that I was skeptical about when we stopped at it! My friends were all pleased with their meals as well, but I think I was happiest. read more

We came here today after church. Granted they were super busy, but we waited FOREVER for our food. From the time we were seated until our food came was an hour. I seriously thought I might pass out because of hunger. My food I did not like. A scoop of chicken salad on top of some lettuce. Ice burg lettuce with some tasteless wedge tomatoes and a hard boiled egg halved. That's it. The chicken salad was pretty tasteless and had too much pickle relish in it. I figured it was pre made but there was a bone in it so I'm not sure. My family said their food was ok. Overall it was not worth the wait, and our waitress was a little on the gripey side. It wouldn't hurt to crack a smile. Probably won't be back. read more

This place is a mom and pop shop type cafe. Prices are cheap and the amount of food you get is a lot. It's clean and has a nice atmosphere. The steak was cooked and marinated to perfection. The server was very nice and timely. I recommend this place if you are looking for quick, home-styled meals for you and your family. read more

Daisy Mae's is a great diner and has the best chicken fried steak in Ark City. I go here everytime I visit my sister who lives here. A major plus is the owner's random love of Garfield. read more

Good prices! Poor quality food, atmosphere, cleanliness and staff.

Passing through town and decided to stop at Daisy Mae's and we were not disappointed. The chicken fried steak was huge and tasted great. Service was fantastic. You cannot find these mom and pop cafes around anymore. read more
