    Tacos
    Cindy O.

    It was so good! Everyone is super nice and it's so pretty inside. I got the pollo loco and will be coming back. So good!

    Bar and seating.

    Food and service were great. Salsa had just the right kind of heat tonight. Pinche Tacos(Beef) and Polo Loco were fresh, hot and delicious.

    Bright and clean interior

    Don't be deterred by the outside. One of our crew was highly skeptical, then walked in and said "Well this is unexpected!" We had quick and friendly service and enjoyed some fresh salsa and queso that was far above average. The portions were huge and we should have read other reviews first and taken their warning since we were traveling and unable to box up what would have been a few lunches. The food was great and the service friendly. It was busy even on a Tuesday night and we'd highly recommend stopping in!

    Chips salsa and queso
    Shawn G.

    So I'm writing this as I go at the restaurant as I pulled up to the location I noticed their parking area was kinda small but it was easy to still find parking we got seated right away and shortly after we got are chips and salsa first then our drinks shortly after I had ordered some queso to go along with the chips the homemade salsa is kinda mild if you can't handle spice like my wife it's not for you but I loved it almost went thru 2 cups of it their queso is also delicious but kinda mild at this point I've already received my first refill so you won't have to wait very long my wife had gotten a el pollo and she found it very delicious but didn't like the pineapples I myself hadn't gotten the el burro and found it very good the portion size is great I couldn't really eat all of it and I'm a bigger guy even with a dad bod and the prices for everything are reasonable I would definitely recommend this place and if the owner happens to see this it was a fantastic time it was my first time here I'll definitely come back but if you are interested in bringing more revenue to this place I would suggest getting with DoorDash and uber eats because I think you would honestly double your revenue with getting that delivery service going without extreme hassle on your end

    Queso birria tacos
    Ashley R.

    Good portions & great tasting! I ordered the queso birria tacos & a michelada, delicious! It was a big plate, I'd recommend sharing this one. My husband ordered the Carne asada plate, good portion as well. Meat was tender and nicely seasoned! The service was great! Very friendly & attentive.

    pollo loco
    Shivi P.

    i am not one to give out many 5 star reviews but this place in the middle of kansas had me completely blown away. we got salsa n chips, queso, pollo loco (aka acp/arroz con pollo), and beef enchiladas. chips were nothing crazy but salsa and queso were awesome(tell tale sign of a great mexican place). pollo loco was phenomenal - chicken was perfectly cooked! thin, juicy, but also crispy and flavorful. the side of guac given was generous and very fresh! i highly recommend the charro beans they were extremely flavorful. beef enchiladas were also amazing. the service was scarily quick. the entire resteraunt was a vibe and decorated beautifully (contrary to the outside). the table next to us got margs and i might have to come back for those next time they looked delish. can't say enough amazing things about this place - don't bother with any other place in town.

    Highwind Brewing Co is one of the best breweries I ever got to have lunch at!…read more I was out in the area for business and decided to have lunch here with my colleague. What I ordered was out of this world and it was called a Bacon Brew Burger (this burger is the dish that this brewery is known for). The burger consisted of cheddar, crispy onion, ale mustard, and what threw me off for a nice surprise was the bacon-onion jam. Ahhhh man so delicious! On the other hand, I got to sample a new brew that they just released (totally forgot what it was called) and the beer was just as tasty as the burger I had. Anyways, the vibes of this restaurant were nice and the layout is open. You definitely feel comfortable and at home being here. The service was absolutely excellent as well - it was as if I was hanging out with friends back at home! If I'm back in the area I know where I'm going to have lunch again :) thank you so much ya'll

    We stopped for the night in Junction City and decided to try Highwind Brewing. Good on us! We (DH…read moreand I) had the Shandy and the amber ale (we can't remember the names) and they were both really good. The bar was busy (it was a Friday night) but well staffed so we didn't have to wait. The food is food hall style where you go to a counter (there are two) and place your order then pick it up when it's prepared. We went to The Mill (pizza, calzones and salads). I had the Italian Chopped Salad and the flavors were spot on; DH had the Greek Salad with chicken and really liked it, too. Be aware, it's a loud, noisy hall; that's the only thing that I'd prefer was different. We will go again when we go thru Junction City.

This is not a quick service bar. They actually make everything fresh from scratch, it's an amazing spot to find in MHK. 2. Start with a drink with a base liquor you know you like, then move on to something more adventurous. Every drink is balance and on the menu for a reason. 3. Try anything on the food menu; it will be delicious with an element of surprise. From a light snack to a full meal, you won't be disappointed. 4. Tell your friends. Bring your friends. Repeat.

It looked really cool as we walked in, late on a Saturday afternoon after an afternoon of sightseeing, although we were kind of surprised that it was not at all busy. We chose it more for the selection of cocktails, because we had eaten a big lunch and weren't that hungry yet. We told our server that, and she let us linger over a cocktail before even asking us if we were ready to eat. She got it! It's a lovely setting, in an old, beautifully renovated space. We were ushered to the area behind the bar and seated at a table. When we first got there, we were the only ones in the room. But as we stayed and sip our cocktails and eventually ate dinner, it filled up nicely. As usual, I drank Manhattans. Seemed appropriate especially because of where we were. Their Black Manhattans were perfectly crafted and very tasty. For dinner I had the Harissa Pork Ragu and my husband had the Fish Tacos. Both were very good, and right-sized portions. Overall, we loved it! We're hoping our travels bring us back through Manhattan sometime so we can come back!
