I was deceived since I didn't notice anyone else with this problem. Also the location of this restaurant wasn't so easy to see from the outside, which if it was a big town then it would actually be a problem but I had wished there could have been something of the way, which maybe I missed. The owners or workers seemed friendly and I wished I could have just had breakfast.

My wife and I both ordered the chicken fried steak special that night. It was hand breaded and simply divine!! More food than either of us could eat. We should have shared. I also had the chili, which was delicious. We enjoy the Brussels sprouts appetizer at our friend's suggestion. The service was quick, polite and professional. 5 stars! We can't wait to come back!

Was in town to visit Eisenhower Presidential Library and Seelye Mansion and stopped by here for…read morelunch. It's a casual family-owned one room restaurant whose patrons seem to be mostly locals. This is always a good thing. They serve breakfast all day, numerous burgers, sandwiches, and various plates. We ordered the reuben and BLT sandwiches and the catfish plate with mac n cheese. The veggie of the day was green beans. Everything was good except for the mac n cheese, which didn't taste very fresh -- you can tell the pasta and cheese had become coagulated. It wasn't creamy cheesy as good quality mac n cheese should be. Wasn't even homemade. And the green beans? Straight from the can! It was mushy and bland. Who wants to eat soggy green beans?! This was rather disappointing. Service was straightforward. Free parking in their small lot but also ample street parking.

Ordered a BLT with a side salad. Plenty of bacon. Service was good. Place is bright and inviting.read more

#55/2024 Wow I haven't been across this US highway coming…read moreout of Newton Kansas in a long long time. Usually I get as far as emporia that's the first time I've dropped down to Wichita too This place has been here for loads of years it is still a classic roadside diner vibe off of the bypass. The lady that owns in her family also work here they do a really good job of keeping everything up for what they have. It's like walking in the Easter year though it probably hasn't been remodeled since they took it over I don't think it's actually been remodeled since the late 80s but that's all right. When you walk in you're very feel welcomed you're welcome sit wherever you want they have two different dining room areas. I came in with a rumbling stomach that was just starting to growl and I was ready for some good old home cooking. So I ordered up a nice good cuz I knew they made a nice hand patted chicken fried steak. I had to taste for french fries and gravy brown gravy on the whole shebang. She also made me a nice fresh salad with lettuce tomato cucumber and cheese was very good too before the meal. They were having some water issues a boil order wasn't effect so there wasn't any soda available on the day I was there that afternoon and they did make cawfee though so I had that. Problem was the iced tea wasn't iced tea it was just hot tea they put it into the cooler they had just started making it. . She brought out the salad it was really nice quite filling. And the chicken fried steak dinner came out it was fantastic they gave me some extra fries I think I didn't ask for it but they were definitely quite a few fries to brown gravy was nice and hot. I left with a very happy belly That's one of the things I miss about that way a lot of times when I used to go out to places West California Arizona we're coming through Kansas I would avoid that Kansas turnpike and work my way across all the way to Hutchinson. And I used to like to stop in here because there is plenty of parking for trucks it's a dirt lot but that doesn't really matter it's just classic little small town in the middle of nowhere farmland. They also take major credit cards no problem. But it definitely was nice to see and I definitely enjoyed my meal and I'm rating the full five bar of stars all the way across like many other people who review here on Yelp basically realize you can't judge a book by its cover. They're very pleasantly surprised when you read their reviews also.

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.
