This little cafe that is attached to the mall in Pittsburg Kansas was such a delight. While…read morevisiting my bonus daughter's, my friends took me here to grab some lunch before we headed out to the airport. I ordered a delicious French Dip sandwich that came with some chips. My friends also got the the French onion soup which smelled amazing. The sandwiches were definitely filling. I wish I was able to save some of it but it was so good and I was so hungry that I annihilated the sandwich. The staff here were so warm and welcoming and made sure that we were taken care of. We went during lunch time and it was extremely busy. I mean they had just opened up and there was already a line of people waiting to get in. They have a white dressing which they are known for and give you club crackers to go along with it. So you put the white dressing onto the cracker and you eat it just like that. You could add it to the sandwiches but most were eating it with the crackers. It was very addicting that I had to stop myself so I could save space for my sandwich. Don't sleep on this cafe. And be prepared for a wait as they are very popular.

And let's not forget the food! The club burger was a combination I've never tried before and it was wonderful. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly and tasted just as good as, if not better, than the $18 "gourmet" wagyu burger I had the day before. Might be the first time I chose to finish my burger rather than my tater tots. Wishing them much success in the future (and wishing we lived closer!).

The bun was super soft. I can't say enough about how yummy this burger was, and the Susie Q fries were cooked to perfection. I hope to return to this area just to have a burger at White Grill!

However, if the older blonde woman (tag said Amanda) is working then I highly suggest just leaving. She won't even acknowledge you being there & when you try to order she will act like you're inconveniencing her life. This is the second time we have experienced her depressive attitude and poor quality sandwiches. We feel incredibly sorry for anyone she is working with-- they also seem miserable and upset. I hope she finds a job out of customer service until she is able to feel better because I love subway and there is really no excuse for her intense behavior. Hope to be back when the awesome ones are working...

We saw plenty of country fried pork steak images and some fried okra and both me and my husband decided to chose that. Our plate came with good smashed potatoes and gravy, and the nicest surprise was that the waitress brought us our own loaf of bread. Can't beat that! The restaurant appears like a side-road old restaurant, and while I am sure it's old and quaint, it just took me back to the 70s being a kid and eating at those bucolic small town restaurants during some road trip. While inside we noticed they had the TV on with an old show of Gunsmoke playing? It was really like a time warp. The service was good too, as we didn't have to wait long for our food either.

So we walked in was seated promptly and the waiter walked up And looked at us without saying a thing, I am guessing he wanted our drink order without saying a word. Gave him a drink order and he promptly brought them. We waited a bit to order food and felt pressured to order immediately. I ordered a #6 combo and the wife ordered nachos. The burrito and enchilada were nothing but dried out, very lightly (and I mean lightly) seasoned hamburger meat wrapped into a tortilla with no signs that it was warmed or cooked. Waiter was constantly walking by and never bothered to check on us. And I wasn't sure if I should have said anything. His appearance was a little scary. Would not recommend and will not stop again.
