    The clean home cooked and dining ambience is so underrated compared to the amazing cheeseburger in paradise. I opted for this restaurant on a review from Steve Kimi.. the Kansas Burger God. Meat was grilled to perfection with pieces of grilled meat that had fallen off still in the wrapper just the perfect amount of grease in the beef. The combination with the cheese and all the fixings was absolutely out of this world. I opted for the fried pickles instead of the seasoned fries. I was not disappointed so good and the perfect amount of pickles to the plate. Finally the topper was the peanut butter malt which another reviewer had recommended. BEST EVER.. I drive here just for the peanut butter malt.

    We stopped at Do-B's on our way to Prairie National Reserve and it lived up to my expectations. It's on a quiet street in Emporia and has a lot of food choices, from fish to wraps to burgers etc. It's also one of the highest rated restaurants in the area and I can definitely see why. The place gave me a fast casual eatery vibe but also a little feel of grandma's house because of this small glass showcase they had with some items in it. All food items are priced decently. I got the blackened fish with rice and fries and my husband got the Hornet Burger with fries. Both dishes were really good. The fish was cooked just right, moist and seasoned really well. The burger was also done perfectly with a juicy tasty patty. Fries were fresh and crispy...cherry on top!! Service was quick and the staff was very sweet. The restaurant was also very clean. They even have some of their own sauces and salsas for sale, plus some grab-and-go options which is nice and convenient especially for college students. Note - they also have a Do-B's reaper burger challenge which sounds fascinating. However, I don't ever think i will be able to try it ever Haha. To conclude - 5/5 for me.

    Beautiful restaurant, very family friendly environment I have the jambalaya it was absolutely delicious and I also got to try the pineapple caramel milkshake. Superb and I got my food within 10 minutes and they were slammed.

    Shrimp Po boy was amazing! Foods here are made with proper ingredients. Definitely worth stopping in.

    A must stop destination when in the area! The Creole Gouda burger is phenomenal and the cheese curds are out of this world! Always great service, consistently delicious food, and a fun little diner-ish feel. Definitely worth the detour off the interstate.

    I met family in Empora at Do-B's based off of Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! This is a solid old school diner and literally everything on the menu is good. From milkshakes to po-boys, you will love your meal here. I knocked it down one star for two reasons: it's a small place so seating is at a premium! I didn't notice this from other reviews so if you have a big group, this probably isn't the place for you, or you may want to consider carry out. Also, the restrooms are on the exterior of the building. Granted, they are clean, but with a toddler and dodging freezing rain the day we visited, it was a massive drag to have to ask for a key and then trudge outside, dodging cold rain to use the restroom. To make matters worse someone on the stairwell above us poured a TON of dirty water right in front of where you wait and we nearly got drenched. So, that literally put a damper on the experience (pun intended!). At any rate, I'd 100% return the food is incredible, the people nice, and the ambiance is clean and nostalgic.

    Super burgers. But when purchasing a loaded one the salt tends to pile up and be a little overwhelming.

    It's very solid, and to tell some things that are not inherent to the average Emporia resident, there is both a cash and student discount!

    I've been craving a steak Philly cheesesteak sandwich for awhile and this is the closest to…read moreauthentic I'll get in Lawrence. The meat is so thinly sliced and it pairs nicely with the fresh veggies! I usually get mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños...but you have the option to hold or take whatever you like. During my lunch break it's best for me to order off the kids menu because their portions are big enough to share or split into two meals. The kids sandwich is the perfect size and fills me up with a small fry on the side. This kids meal includes a drink and cookies as well. They have a variety of different sauces to choose from that you can dip your fries or sandwich in or out it over a rice bowl, burrito, salad, loaded nachos or fries. I have tried everything on the menu except the salad, because the last thing I want is a bowl of lettuce when I walk in here. I'm sure it's good but the carbs are hard to resist when you get a whiff after walking in the front door. Come in and smell for yourself!

    A few friends and I ventured to Lawrence last Saturday for some shopping. One of my friends with…read moreus had been there before and recommended Fat Shack. Now this is not a knock on Fat Shack. But when we hear about places like Fat Shack that offer ridiculous cuisine I have to go try them out! First warning, obviously do not go here if you remotely care about healthy eating. I opted for the Fat Jersey sandwich. It was, I kid you not, a sandwich that was a cheesesteak with chicken fingers, french fries, mozzarella sticks and honey mustard. It was incredibly unhealthy and incredibly delicious! Since I was already all in I decided to get the fries with cheese on top of them. These were also awesome! You have the choice of getting a small, regular or large sandwich. We all picked the regular and were surprised how big they were. We were all miserable after eating our whole sandwich and none of us could even attempt to finish our fries. I will definitely opt for a small sandwich next time. My one complaint but it will not stop me from coming back is the price. I got a regular sandwich, fries w/cheese and a drink and my total was a hair over $21! Now, I will get a small sandwich next time which would bring that down so I won't complain too much. I also left absolutely stuffed and the food was delicious! Plus living farther away it isn't somewhere I will be able to eat regularly. If you feel like eating somewhere over the top and want a fun conversation starter about an insane sandwich you ate, try out Fat Shack!

    If I could do negative stars. I would. They owe me money and I'm sure others today…read more as well. Today Tuesday Aug 11th they are "open" normal business hours but actually are not. Continuing to take orders through door dash and other sites like yelp. They are not open! Do not order from them(:
