    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.

    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.

    This is The Hornet.

    Don't let its sophomoric name fool you, Do-B's is a legit place, and if you decide to dine in, please bring your appetite with you. It's an old school diner influenced place. The menu includes a few burgers, cheese steaks (some are loose interpretations,) po boys, wings and other assorted sandwiches and sides. There's a small space on the menu for a group of salads if you're trying to eat healthy. They might be your only option. I went with The Hornet, which is two 6 oz burgers topped with jalapenos, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon and four slices of cheese. Perfectly cooked, super tasty and filling. Simply amazing. I highly recommend. The restaurant itself is a bit difficult to navigate at first, but is perfectly acceptable when you get the hang of things. You place your order at the front register and get a number. It's a bit confusing because there isn't really a place for a line, so everybody kind of congregates together. The dining room fills up quickly, however, even though there's a wait, the room turns over fairly well, so a table should open up in time for you to receive your food. Outside seating is available surrounding and behind the restaurant, if you're interested. A random note, the owners are disc golf fans. From time to time, usually a couple of times a day, they will go in the parking lot and let their diners attempt to make a "putt". A "putt" is when you throw a disc toward a chain hole constructed across the lot. If any diner makes the putt, he or she will receive a discounted or free meal.

    The service was very helpful and friendly. I really like the fact that all of the food is a special recipe. I get so tired of chain restaurants, and this is locally owned. I really like to support local businesses. The restaurant has some really cool souvenirs. The design of the restaurant is really cool, and comfortable.

    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!

    I'm done with pepperjax. Last time I was there, the person who took my order was rude,…read moredisrespectful, rushing, and had a terrible attitude toward me. They threw my toppings down on the grill with no regard and gave me death stares. I came back a few months later, and I told the workers about my previous experience. All they did was tell me they've gotten complaints about that person and left it at that. No accommodations. No free drink. No I'm so sorry about that. Learn customer service, do better Pepperjax!
