We recently attended National Caviar Day at the Oread in Lawrence, KS. Even though we were the only…read morereservation, the staff went above and beyond. Restaurant Manager Alex Tuckwin and Chef Ty Armstrong created a personal, unforgettable evening. Each course was beautifully prepared, each wine pairing thoughtfully chosen. The flavors, the setting, the kindness-all exceptional. I didn't know my taste buds could be so astounded! We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly cared for. It was a five star experience in the heart of a college town. A hidden gem we'll remember for a long time. The Oread is home to two true artists-Alex Tuckwin and Ty Armstrong- and we are so grateful to have experienced their work.

I always love coming to The Big Mill to get their Detroit style pizza. I usually get the margherita…read morepizza which has pesto on it which is delicious. The service is usually not very great, though, with long waits on drinks from the bar, slow on refills, but the servers are all nice. The seating is mostly benches, which can be uncomfortable, but I don't mind them! My boyfriend loves coming here when we come to Lawrence for a show or game!

Meh. I've been here several times and have been under impressed each time. The seating in this…read moresmall restaurant is bench style which is not always comfortable for all. The food is good but it's not GREAT. I think the prices are a bit high for what you get. To me, this is a restaurant that is trying to be fancy but can't pull it off. Parking is a crap shoot, at best. The parking lot is super small. The restaurant is easy to access for those with mobility concerns. There will be those who disagree with me but there isn't anything outstanding about this establishment. Every time I have been here, the service has been lacking. Everyone is friendly enough but they have problems getting my take out orders correct. I usually get a burger to go. Oh, yeah... fries are extra. If I'm paying $14 for a cheeseburger, you would think fries would be included. Not here. Bottom line... it's not bad but there are other, better restaurants in town.

Our waitress was fantastic too: attentive, friendly, on top of everything all night. Where it fell apart was the patio. We were dealing with flies the entire meal -- I mentioned it more than once, and the response was basically 'yeah, we should probably do something about that.' This isn't a cheap night out, and for those prices, that's not acceptable. It's a fixable problem and it wasn't being taken seriously. Food, drinks, and service inside were all a clear win. Management needs to get the patio pest situation under control -- it undercut what would've otherwise been a great night out.

Professional and helpful with menu. bar: It's a brewery and they have broad selection of house beer styles: lagers, wheat, porter, and IPAs. I drank their Skyz the Limit American IPA ($6.50 as of May 2026) and thought it was fine. food: wide ranging menu from flatbreads to plated entrees. There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage. Plenty of surface parking right outside.

The baristas were great at breaking down what everything was and what their top sellers were.

Some people were still in there working on laptops (I assume from hotspots) but I would say this is a better place to come if you want a delicious baked good and a screen-free hang.

First thing to note is Cellar Door is SMALL so plan accordingly, you might not get lucky enough to get a table (we were, but we also got there early). You order at the counter and they bring out your food. I had a pastry recommended by my friend an the cauliflower wrap. I'm still dreaming of the wrap to be honest. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted, the sauce was divine, and the bread? Holy cow they clearly make it in house - so delicious. My friend sent me home with a babka which was also stellar. Can't rave about this place more - just go here if you're in the area. I can't wait to return.
