The ambiance is rustic yet pleasant and comfortable. Music playing was solid 80's on the night we joined. The menu selection is huge to easily suit all in the party. And food was great! From apps to entrees, all were happy. Pickle chips, jalapeño poppers, fried okra, quesadillas - all tasty! Our party had a wide variety of entrees and we heard many compliments! If you're looking for a place near Emporia, yet something different, give Rolling Hills a try!

We stopped by Stacy's on a Saturday morning and immediately knew we were in the right place. When…read moreyou see a group of older gentlemen gathered around a few tables, it's a clear sign you're somewhere special. The atmosphere has that small-town charm that feels genuine from the moment you walk in. The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They even let us sample the icing from their homemade cinnamon rolls so we could decide if it was cream cheese or not. (It's not, just regular icing for those who are curious.) As for the food: * The breakfast burrito was excellent. One of the best I've had. It was large, filling, and packed with flavor. The salsa on the side added a nice touch. * The biscuits and gravy were also a standout. The biscuits are homemade and some of the best I've ever had. * The pancakes were thick, fluffy, and clearly made from scratch. * The coffee was just okay. Not great, but not bad either. * My only suggestion would be to swap out the prepackaged syrup for something fresh. If you're in the area or visiting a student at Kansas State, Stacy's is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back.

The 250th anniversary of being the new kids on the blue marble is upon us. My fam decided to make a pilgrimage back to the wifes stomping grounds. The heartland, Kansas. We're staying in the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Ks. Home of K-State University. Well also home of The Chef, which should be just as famous and endeared. The Chef is this gorgeous, chic, yet not so that it's kitschy diner in the heart of the main district of Manhattan. A classic diner, from the hospitality of the service staff, to the lunch counter with cute doodads for salt and pepper shakers. You've been here, because you've been home, or so it feels. Yes, be prepared to snuggle in for a teensy wait, because everyone loves home cooking, especially when someone else is doing the dishes afterwards. The portions are truly well beyong the prices. I ordered a CFS, smothered in sausage gravy. Was plated a Texas sized portion, thick steak, lightly crispily breaded, with a savory southern styled country gravy that honestly looked a bit intimidating in quantity, but I'm no fraidy cat. I came to conquer. Two perfectly running over medium eggs, whites done, yolks on the run, my style. A mountain of softly crunchy, better-than-homestyle fried potatoes, and a slice of thick cut wheat toast. This was a ton O' grub Bubba dub. Each component treated and seasoned well enough, to eat stand alone. Our meal partner kept checking on the family to see if we needed any more of that rich Arabica bean juice, or water, with the care of your fav Auntee from Mississippi, but right here, in the Land of Ahhhhs. She was winning us, even as much as The Chef that prepared the feast itself, and the food. Whew. The belly beat down was in effect, but I didn't tap out. I took that esophageal excitement with relish. Well not relish, with a sweet house made strawberry compote on toast. I wiped the plate clean. $15. You read that right... just $15. Oh I understand $15 is real money in this economy, but in relationship to the level of service, quality of service, epic portion sizes, and the finesse with which this small diner beat most anywhere we've been, and we share 39 years of worldwide travel as an old married couple, this was a bargain at $15, in the 90s. For sure back home in Texas this was honestly a $21 - $26 plate, and we're a beef producing state. Still with me? You're the real hero for hanging in here, and I truly appreciate you. If ever you want to taste Americas 250 years, in one sitting, visit The Chef in Manhattan, Ks. It's families feeding the community. No political spin, no feeling unwelcomed. An open door, to open hearts, feeding hungry bellies, without crushing your purses and wallets. They leave room in your account to make you want to reciprocate with generosity in returning, but also, tipping heartfully, without pressure. I miss when a meal was worth tipping huge without feeling it wasn't worth it. Here at the Chef, the earn it the old way. Be well, be loved, we're in this life past this page no matter what social media tells you. Hugs to you from me and mine. Go out and smile like ya mean it. Laugh like you're cray cray, and love like tomorrow isn't coming. Want pics? Nope. This place is worth you seeing for yourself. My pictures wouldn't do them justice. Peace y'all.

I had the grilled chicken bacon smoked cheddar cheese sandwich and at the workshop I'd had plenty of carbs so I went no bun and the bartender recommended to try it with a lettuce wrap. He had a great suggestion it was delicious. Bartender checked frequently on everyone at the bar even with how busy it was. For me it's a bar in a college town on Aggie street so you expect some issues but I'm going to guess someone had seafood that night as it had a heavy smell of the seafood or old beer as they have their own brews Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it for the food n staff.
