Typical small town cafe. Great waiter, Carter. Smiles!!!! Bacon, poached and fried. Great. Bacon and sausage. Great. You get the picture. Hunting territory and interior. read more

Breakfast gave my wife and I food poisoning. Service was poor but only one waitress for 6 or 7 tables. Please keep driving to a better place. read more

The food was mediocre, at best. Peanut butter pancakes were smothered in peanut butter powder. The biscuits and sausage gravy were congealed and most unfortunately, slightly sweet. The eggs were so so overcooked they were like rubber. As for the service, I don't know if our waitress hates her job or hates her customers but she was very unfriendly. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and oh my land!! Corn beef hash as almost as good as my ol'man makes, home made hash-browns, and eggs cooked to order. Waitress was very pleasant and welcoming to us, always making sure our drinks were filled. Warm, cozy atmosphere with a mix of couples (young and old) and families. Make this a breakfast/brunch stop when you're in Hays!! read more

Just a good old local restaurant I had the oatmeal with rye toast it was delicious and service was good just passing through on my way through Kansasa read more

We stayed in Hays on our way to Estes Park CO. And had a Bacon egg and cheese sandwich here. It was delicious and to make better they added hash browns to the order. We had no idea until we opened the container. They were cooked perfectly. I didn't get any pictures (sorry) but the folks were very nice and polite. read more

The food was very tasty and hit the spot for a typical breakfast, friendly and quick service, reasonable prices. Will eat at again as we pass through Hays. read more

Food awful, cheap ingredients. Squeezed in seating. Rude hostess/cashier. If you are not a local, you are not welcome in this restaurant. If traveling and you want to stop for something to eat in this town, spare yourself the discomfort with this place and go to another restaurant. read more

We waited 15 minutes and none even acknowledged we were in the restaurant. The space is very small and we were visible so that wasn't the issue. read more

We travel back and forth on I70 and look forward to stopping in Hayes so we can eat at Pheasant Run! Love their eggs and bacon breakfast. Great pancakes too. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. read more

They have a great following. Standard breakfast cafe with higher prices than yesteryear. Busy waitresses without the fluff.

Great breakfast. Busy at 10 AM on a weekday Pancakes are their specialty and did not disappoint read more

3.5 stars! Our boys loved their waffles and blueberry pancakes! They loaded up the blueberry pancakes nicely with blueberries. Our server was attentive and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The veggie omelet was also nicely loaded up with veggies, but cheese was sparse. No stringy lines of cheese when you cut into it. :( Also don't think my omelet had any seasoning on it. My hash browns were nice and crispy though as a previous yelper noted which was delightful! :) My husband's weren't crispy at all...they were a bit mushy. He also didn't care for his biscuits and gravy and said it tasted bland. So hits and misses with some of the items. Liked the simple decor and that everyone in the restaurant was nice and seemed to be working as a team. One of the other servers helped replenish our waters throughout the meal, and the person clearing tables was doing a great job. There were only two parking spots available when we pulled in, so thankful to have found parking based on a prior review. It's a good sign when the parking lot is full! :) So, a solid 3.5 stars. Good place to grab a simple breakfast with friendly service. read more

This is an honest to goodness local diner with great homemade food. I had the corned beef hash and it was really good! They have a local host sauce, "Gunslinger", that was a great addition and they also sell it. I'd recommend stopping in for some great food, service, and hot sauce!!! read more

Less than a mile off the highway this diner is worth the trouble of navigating the roundabouts. We had a deluxe omelet and a western omelet. Both were delicious. The fruit compote was fruit cocktail and was surprisingly good. The restroom was clean and spacious. Service was friendly. Recommend to travelers. read more

Food and service was very poor. Waited 45 minutes for breakfast. Food came out cold. Butter wouldn't even melt in pancakes. Hash browns were burned. Waitress offered to warm it up. Never said she was sorry. Will NEVER ago back. We paid for orange juice and coffee which was overpriced and left. read more

Where to start: Pros: the hostess was wonderful and did a fantastic job navigating the busy Sunday morning brunch rush. The bacon was perfectly cooked and the pancakes were delicious. Cons: our waitress (middle aged caucasian woman with short dark pixie cut) asked every table around us a dozen times how they were doing, if they needed anything, and immediately responded with a smile. I just wonder why my girlfriend and I didn't receive the same service? We would ask politely for something as simple as a straw and never receive it, had to attempt multiple times to get her attention for refills, and never once was asked if we were ok or needed anything. Being that it's 2022 it couldn't have possibly been that we were a lesbian couple, so I wonder did she hate the black shirt I was wearing, the glasses on my face, or the smell of my perfume because all of those seem as ridiculous as refusing to serve us or making a quick judgment because of who I was sharing that breakfast with. read more

It's a good thing I don't live in town, or I'd end up eating here every day. It's the perfect American style breakfast, for a great price. Looks like the small hole in the wall place that it is, but do not be deceived!! The menu is simple, and they do everything on it well. Pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. The hash browns were crispy and delicious. The ham was moist, and not over cooked. read more

Good local restaurant. Nothing special, just solid food. The bacon was extra crispy, not the way I like it. The staff members were pleasant, but a bit slow moving. read more

If you are looking for a traditional breakfast with friendly service, the this is the place for you. We had biscuits and gravy with two eggs and pancakes with hash browns. Everything was really good and filling. read more

I went their roughly a year ago with my family because of the rating and had a bad meal everyone complained, but I did not review January 6. I went just to give it another try. My biscuits and gravy were horrible 2 biscuits torn in half face up with gravy biscuits were so dry they were hard and gravelly. The gravy did not soften them at all. I felt overlooked I got up and paid and left. I wanted a home-cooked meal. I didn't want McDonald's right down the street. I wish I had gone to McDonald's. read more

We had a very good meal at this bustling, homey diner. The hash browns were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and the entire breakfast was served piping hot. read more

Only disappointment with this place is that I've been charged quite differently on multiple trips here for the EXACT SAME order. They are lucky food was good enough for me to return. They are always busy so didn't want to waste a bunch of time showing them receipts from previous sittings for a few dollars difference, just annoying more than anything else. The very young girl who works the entrance counter/check out does a great job, many kids could learn a thing or 3 from her!!! read more

I absolutely loved this place!! I had The Uplander and it was fresh and hot when it was served to me, my pancakes were fluffy and delicious to eat! I liked the family-owned and old-timey barn look to it on the outside, that is what I like personally in a breakfast place that isn't IHOP and others. The server was quick and very polite with serving me and my family and we got our food within about 20 minutes of ordering the waitress kept in touch with us and didn't leave us abandoned like some servers do. read more

Great local restaurant with the favorites that you would expect. Service was excellent. I had a simple pancake and sausage breakfast and my daughter had the strawberry topped waffle. Both were very good but seeing the hashbrowns I should have ordered them! I would highly recommend stopping in for breakfast / brunch. Support LOCAL! read more

Great family owned business with some great down home cooking. Everything is made fresh as ordered and they have some great daily specials during the week. The staff is wonderful. read more

Really enjoyed both service and food here. Everything was fresh, tasty, and well portioned. Replacing toast with 2 flavored pancakes is currently just a great idea but should become canon! So good!! Thank you for a great local breakfast option in Kansas right off I-70, en route from California back to Kentucky. read more

Nothing extraordinary. Food was okay, coffee was okay. They over-mix the pancake batter so their pancakes were rubbery. Service was good. This place was simple and satisfactory. read more

This was your old fashioned down-home family breakfast joint. It's apparently a town staple, run by a family named Jordan. The service was prompt, and the food was good. I had corned beef hash and eggs with the included side of cakes. All good. The coffee was fresh, and the prices were reasonable. Nothing to complain about, top to bottom. read more

Driving thru Kansas and wanted a hearty breakfast. This is place delivered exactly what I hoped it would as a local diner. Friendly staff, food is fresh and portion size is great...take a break from the chain restaurants and come to this local charmer. read more

Well, not a whole lotta choices in town. I picked the one that was not an ihop. Service was fast, not real friendly. All the servers were chummy with the local guys that walked in though, made it kinda comical. I ordered the egg sandwich on a English muffin, I asked for sausage instead of bacon. There was a piece of what was probably kraft individually sliced cheese that was taken out of the wrapper. All in all it was ok, very close to an egg McMuffin that you would get at McDonalds for twice the price. I had fruit for my side (hashbrowns we're the other choice) and the fruit was canned. The bf had a waffle with strawberries & whip cream. Strawberries were the frozen kind. He said it was ok as well, nothing special. He had coffee to drink & just like all the other fellow yelpers he agreed the coffee was terrible. read more

It's all that I could ask for when stopping in a place I've never been to close to the Interstate. Mostly a breakfast and sandwich shop. Lite lunch includes a half sandwich, soup, salad or a slice of pie and tea or coffee. This was only $5.60. The BLT was tasty but the Midwest salad was the usual pile of green leaves, croutons with a side of dressing. If you've never been to the Midwest before, the most important thing you can do for yourself is have a slice of pie. It's really what this type of joint is best at. read more

This is a cute little diner if you're looking for breakfast. My husband and I stopped here on our way back from Colorado! The waitstaff are very nice and attentive. The tables are decorated with sunflowers and a flag (Very patriotic). This is nice to see since I am a mom of a son in the Army. Thank You Pheasant Run for the great service , atmosphere and great breakfast! read more

I can't cover all the entrees that were in our party but what I WILL say is that every item we ate was excellent and the service was great. I will be looking forward to coming back when I pass through again. read more

If it were for the brunch and food alone, there would be five stars, and for those who have no fear of COVID-19, THAT is your takeaway. For those of us who have a healthy respect for Mother Nature and what COVID-19 can do to friends, family and communities, however, it is of paramount importance to note that masks among staff were non-existent during our visit (12/23/21). This includes the hostess/manager/owner (woman with tat visible just below her right sleeve), who was friendly and accommodating, but was dry-hacking during the entire time we were dining. There's a line of shared, civic responsibility that must be drawn if we truly and collectively care about those around us, so it would've been reassuring to see one who's experiencing tell-tale symptoms of infection AT LEAST take proactive steps to prevent others from getting sick, especially when the clientele are of an older demographic. Good food, but we'll be keeping a watchful eye on our health over the next week, and second-guessing our decision to dine-in at a local establishment vs. fast food. read more

This is one of my favorite places in town! Gives a small town feel and has fantastic breakfast: especially the special on Sundays. The service is always good. Very affordable too. read more

Was definitely disappointed in the coffee. So much so, that I switched to hot tea. Eggs, toast, and hash browns were all good. The bacon was the shining star, thick, tasty, and perfectly cooked. Needless to say, not the best breakfast I've ever had. But it wasn't horrible either. read more

Food was amazing, prompt service and very kind, would recommend over ihop any day. It hit the spot. Overall great place to sit and eat!! read more

Pheasant Run - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hays, Kansas

We came in at 0730 on a Sunday morning and were promptly seated and greeted by a friendly waitress. Between my boyfriend and I, we ordered two of the staple breakfast with two eggs, bacon and toast (and pancakes), an order of biscuits and gravy, French toast, and a side of corned beef hash. It all arrived in under 10 minutes! The pancakes were fluffy and the hash tasted home made. The bacon was thick and cooked perfectly, the syrup was warm and our waitress made multiple stops to check up on our feast. We can be rather picky eaters, yet we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Pheasant Run. read more
