I had tired of expressways and spent the day on state and county highways. I was getting hungry and happened upon K-18 Cafe. The lovely Keera (not a typo) was my server. The chicken fried steak was great and drowning gravy. I added quite a bit of pepper to remind me of home. I ordered a slice of homemade peach pie for the road and enjoyed it two hours later at my gas stop.

Absolutely everything you'd expect a roadside cafe to be. Do not skip the Apple Pie AlaMode!read more

Gella's Diner is an absolute gem in Hays…read more From the moment you walk in, the beautiful décor sets the tone--warm, stylish, and way more inviting than you'd ever expect from a brewery‑diner combo. The service matches the atmosphere perfectly: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help you navigate their creative menu. The food here is where things really take off. The steak & blue cheese salad was outstanding--fresh, bold, and packed with flavor. The ahi tuna poke nachos were another knockout, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. And if you're a burger person, this place is dangerous in the best way. Their burgers are consistently amazing: juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Of course, you can't come to Gella's without enjoying their great beer, brewed right on site. Every pint feels like it was crafted to pair perfectly with the food. If you're in Hays, Gella's is a must‑visit. Creative dishes, great beer, beautiful space, and service that makes you feel right at home. An easy five stars.

Nbd wasn't stressed at that point because the bartender was super busy. I work in food service I get that.. Then the rest of the food came out and we were never checked on again for the next 20 minutes while we ate. Would have loved to bring up the fact that this chicken wing was completely RAW.. put it out by the card just waiting for the bartender to notice us/the chicken wing and she never did so we just paid and left. Hoping we don't get sick. The rest of the wings were cooked we just so happened to bust into to this one last.. Again I get it if you're absolutely slammed but just felt like we were getting completely ignored for no reason. We were polite so not sure what the deal was.
