    When a KC Brewmaster tells you to visit LB Brewing when traveling towards Colorado, you listen! Food, Service, Beer AMAZING!! Sorry. I didn't take pics of our food.

    Sample flight of & beers on tap

    Ambience is: it's a large bar in rehabbed downtown bldg with concrete floor, brick walls and wooden rafter ceiling. Beer : overall quite tasty - did a 8-count beer flight and 6 of 8 were very tasty; food menu quite varied and well made though service took quite a while on Friday night (as expected)

    Needed a place for lunch driving through the state and this was recommended online. It was a fine lunch, nothing that I would necessarily come back for. We grabbed the pretzel starter mostly because we love beer cheese. The pretzels themselves were okay, I don't think they were necessarily pretzels but rather just fried dough, and were huge portions. The honey mustard dip was nice. But the beer cheese certainly is not beer cheese in either texture or taste. I would liken it more to cream cheese? Which is fine if that's what you're expecting. The brewben I was a bit disappointed in. The menu advertised an interesting stout dressing but this sandwich was surprisingly dry, so not sure if the dressing was even there? The meat itself was one slab of meat rather than sliced thinner/piled, which I would expect. The greenbeans side of this dish was probably my favorite part of the meal: surprisingly crunchy and nicely seasoned. We also got a cheeseburger, which was fine. The fries were nicely crispy. I do wish the cheese itself were slightly more melted. The beer options with the brewery connected are interesting. They are extremely cheap so you can easily get a 16 oz pour for something like $5-6. The beer was fine, but it seems to have won a ton of awards in the area? The seating areas are extensive. One thing I will point out, however, is that Yelp amenities explicitly state that dogs are allowed and this is the main reason we came here. This is not true. Not only are dogs not allowed, when we asked we were told that no where in the area elsewhere would really allow dogs, either. Luckily, because we had so much leftover fried dough ("pretzel"), we had something to give the dogs for the rest of the drive.

    First time and the place was so good! Big place for big parties and loved being able to see the big brewing canisters for the beer. Service was super nice and friendly as well !

    Pumpkin Ale -- lots of cloves.

    Good burger, cold beer, friendly service. The restored historic building downtown is cool too.

    We were passing through town and stopped for an early dinner. It happened to be happy hour. Our server Tristan was new but very nice. He handled our order perfectly. Because it was HH, our beers were $3! The food was delicious! Highly recommend the garlic fries. Also the portion sizes were huge. We loved the lemon ale so much that we filled a growler. If you're in Hays, check it out.

    This is a mandatory stop for my family when going through Hays either on a roadtrip to Colorado or a high school football game. We've been here several times and the food is always great quality and the brews form Lbs Brewing are fresh and cold. I am partial to the Oatmeal Stout. I've had a few food items and nothing has ever disappointed. This time through I had the Berry Chicken Salad. It was a generous portion with fresh greens, juicy strawberries and plumb blueberries. What makes this salad for me is the poppy seed vinaigrette. It is so fresh and packed full of flavor. Previous visits I have had the sliders and bacon cheeseburger. The pork chop is thick cut and very juicy. The garlic green beans is always a family favorite... they are so good... along with the Grebble. The pesto may seem odd but it is really good and of course you can't go wrong with maple syrup. Drop in for a great meal and a fresh brew.

    Food was great. My wife had the vegetarian mushroom burger with creamy Cole slaw for a side. I had the Tri tip steak sandwich with onion rings as a side. Our server was Kylee who was very friendly and attentive. We both loved our meals. The historic building provided a nice ambiance. The Liberty stout brewed on the premises was also very good. We tied the raspberry cheesecake for a light, delicious dessert. We are very happy we found this gem while passing through town. If I was local, it would my hangout spot.

    Lunch for two today! Great sandwiches, great fries and coleslaw. Sadly Pepsi products with lots of great award winning craft beer. Street parking with small lot near. Downtown location. Good service.

    KC strip and garlic green beans
    Mai S.

    Pretty good food. We came a little before it got busy so it was nice and quiet except for the music and kitchen hoods. Loved that. We split a KC strip, garlic green beans, and a side salad. Loved the green beans, perfectly cooked and seasoned. We ordered the steak medium rare but it came a little rarer than we'd hoped. We didn't send it back so they didn't have a chance to fix it (that's on us) but we loved the seasoning and butter that was on it. The side salad tasted like not everything got washed so there's that. We tried the Galaxy IPA and it was good. Also had the grapefruit radler and it was kind of whatever. The staff was really nice. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. We would definitely come back if we're ever in the area. We would like to try more of the beers and there was a lot of interesting items on the menu

    The best food in Hays...by far. Great, friendly service. The beer is very good too. The space is vintage, and the music is not loud!

    05/14/2026 While…read moretraveling west on I-70 toward Colorado, my wife and I left Salina around 9 a.m. without eating breakfast, figuring we would stop for lunch in Hays, Kansas. My wife searched for a local place to try and picked Cattleman's Cafe III. We pulled into Hays around 11 a.m., only to realize the restaurant didn't open until 11:30, so we drove around town for a little while before heading back. Once we went in, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who seated us right away and took our drink order. We both had iced tea. My wife ordered the pot roast with a side salad, and I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn. When the food arrived, everything looked amazing. My wife said the pot roast was so tender it was falling apart while she cut it. My chicken fried steak was the same way -- honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. The first bite was excellent. The meat was very tender and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and corn were also very good, and my wife really enjoyed her meal as well. This place was excellent, and we are very glad we decided to stop here. Even the local people sitting next to us were friendly and enjoyable to talk with, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to learn something new and meet good people while traveling. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stop in again for another meal.

The waitress did an awesome job checking on us and was very friendly The place was not what I was expecting but I enjoyed the decor and took a little time while waiting to read the aprons hanging from the wall Will eat again when I'm in Hays

If you need a place to stay in the area, this spot is a perfect choice. My friend could even see the World's Largest Hand-Painted Czech Egg from her hotel room window!

They also have a restaurant on site downstairs as well as a lovely patio you can dine on. Also a large yard full of interesting art and fire pits There are two bars on site as well. One in the restaurant and one next door in the "Barn" which is a really cool area. They served some light Mexican fare and full bar. The bartender, Courtney was fun and we had fun talking to a couple other customers about mutual friends from "back home" The room we stayed in was basically a small bedroom with a bathroom. The bed wasnt then best and you can hear other guests above or below but we slept ok. The free continental breakfast was a plus. Yummy blueberry scones! All in all it was a really cool stop! This would be an amazing wedding or party venue.

    This hotel was built in 1899 and it sits right in front of the railroads hence how it got its name Midland Railroad hotel.
