    Recently took my preschooler on road trip to Wamego. On the advice of a local we stopped at Friendship House for cinnamon rolls. She had a classic and I had a pecan roll. Several hours later, on the ride home, my daughter declares "Mommy I want to live in Kansas!" I asked her why, assuming it was all the fun Wizard of Oz themed activities we had done. "I want those cinnamon rolls for breakfast EVERY morning." So there you have it... the highlight of a four year old's carefully crafted holiday weekend, the cinnamon rolls at Friendship House.

    The food was so good!!! We were visiting from out of town and was pleasantly surprised to find this little family ran gem at the end of the yellow brick road!

    Server No idea, but appears to be a family business. Ambiance Looks and smells like grandmothers house. Food What we had was wonderful. Overall We came in to wait for the OZ museum to open and have some coffee and pie. Delicious! Military No

    We came looking specifically for the bierocks because it is known to be a favorite food in Kansas. We had a warm welcome from our wonderful server, Margaret, who shared some history of this adorable town. The restaurant is in a cute house across the street from the City Park, which was also fun to visit. We loved the bierocks, the Kansas broccoli salad, and the cinnamon rolls. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

    We loved our first visit so much we returned for breakfast. Yummy waffles and a delicious bierock too. This place is such a treasure!

    We followed the yellow brick road to the Friendship House, which lives up to its name and exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend anything in the bakery (the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was so divine, we ordered a second one) and the lobster Mac & Cheese (Friday special) was indescribably delicious. Barb was our friendly server and we would return again!

    My husband and I stopped in here after visiting The Oz Museum. What a good decision. I had the Grecian stuffed burger and cucumber salad and it was delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly, the buns were homemade and the cucumber salad was perfect on this hot day. My husband had the same, but with potato salad. We also took some fresh baked cookies to go and had a couple on the way home to Wichita. They were soft and chewy, just the way we like them. The cookies seemed to be very popular, as there were many customers ordering them as we were waiting to pay our bill. Employees were accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend stopping in here for lunch if you're in the area.

    Good food and the owner is always very friendly. Found of their breakfast in particular. A good place to go with kids prior to the park.

    Always enjoyed coming here during my time studying at Kansas State…read more This breakfast joint is very cozy, with some of the best eggs and dishes I've ever had for a breakfast place. The decor, and aesthetic are well thought out, with indoor and outdoor spaces to eat, and the staff is very welcoming and don't mind talking. Jacob was my server at the Chef and he was on top of everything, helped with ordering and answered any questions I had. I chose the special for the day, the Cuban Bennie, and I'm glad he talked me into it. I will say if you can get there before it opens and can make it in at opening time, do it, because by the time we had ordered and finished the line was starting. Time to order, and receive food was ~ 20 min, coffee remained filled as was water. If you're visiting or a local, highly recommend this cozy breakfast place.

    Great day in the morning beautiful people of Yelpsville. Thank you for sharing a moment of this…read morefine life we're living, together. 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.
