I was thrilled to see ube, matcha, and other unique items on the menu. I have tried a matcha soda and an ube matcha so far. I do hear the coffee is really great though. Even though I am not a big coffee drinker, I probably should give it a try. My first visit was during the soft opening during lunch time, so I tried a dragonfruit bowl. There are various options including blue spirulina, acai, and chia bases besides dragonfruit. Now there are other menu offerings including sandwiches and salads. I believe there is a partnership with The Hungry Chickpea too! Stop by here when the Fall semester is in session!

The steak and eggs was good. Eggs cooked just like I asked as was the steak. Steak could use a little seasoning but was tender. Potatoes and toast complemented well. Seasoned nice and cooked just right. The Alaskan Omelet was amazing. My wife ordered this and if we are in the area again I'll order this. In fact my son's omelet was just as good. Pricing is on point with the servings. We had to get to go boxes. If you have a big appetite you'll be fine. Our server was just as awesome as the food. She was attentive and there when needed. We had a short wait after ordered that was just right. Even our orange juice and cranberry juice was good. Some places water these down. Not here. Tasty. It's not a large place so the comfy feeling is definitely there. I like the feel. Not too many people so it's not loud. I would 100% come back if we have the chance

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

I throw down. Sheesh, it's already 10 a.m. and we need to break the fast. "Hey Google, breakfast sammies near me?" Early edition was in the top 3. Boom, like a firecracker I'm headed there. They don't serve typical breakfast biscuits, but slammed a fluffy folded scrambled egg omlet style, and a sausage patty betwixt two of the lightest, butteriest homemade buscuits north of the Mason/Dixon. No way to describe the crumbly goodness. Side of thick cut homefries rounded it out. Talk about accommodation. Off the cuff, build my style biscuit sammiches that came out way better than the taste in my head. That's service the way we from the 60s remember. To go order here means to go. They niether dillied or dallied. My order was out way faster than I'm accustomed to. This was 5 stars and then. Thankful EE isn't in my town in Texas. I'd need new stretchy pants.

We tried the stuffed French toast as it seemed to be their specialty. It definitely hit the spot. My wife went for the pancake. Not pancakes, just one and that's a good thing because this cake was about twice the size of the plate. She barely got through half of it!

It has almost a coffee shop vibe, where you could sit and read for a few hours without a problem. We tasted a bit of everything on the menu and it was all delicious - the sandwich (with gluten free bread), the soup, the flatbread, and the protein shake. If I had to pick just one, it would be the fruit juice shake. It had something special inside, because it was once of the best shakes I've ever had. Pricing was more than reasonable and everything seemed healthy and well balanced. Check them out!

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.
