Enthusiastic, informed, and encouraging. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the kitchen and bar. We must have interacted with a dozen folks: hosts, food runners, sommelier, and managers. Everyone was unfailing polite and professional. bar: I drank a Bulleit Rye Manhattan ($11) and my wife had a Grey Goose Cosmo ($13). Both were strong showings of those two classic cocktails. I followed up with a Boulevard Single Wide IPA bottle ($6) and was thrilled to see that old reliable. food: Service begins with exceptional bread and complimentary Baba Ghanoush. The menu described my wife's Pappardelle Bolognese ($25) as having, "mean mule Bolognese sauce." Have never seen the term, mean mule, but this version appeared to incorporate some cream. My 5 oz. Salmon Piccata ($25) with broccolini, asparagus, and rice was very good. We finished with Ultimate Chocolate Cake ($16) and - as the menu describes - it really is for two persons or take-home. It was my birthday and the restaurant graciously comped my dessert, which was extremely nice. details: This is a large, bustling, bright restaurant with choice of inside, outside, and bar seating. Reservations are highly recommended, at least for busy times. We parked on the street and even on Saturday night with a show at the Stiefel Theatre we had no problems.

Aghhhhh! It's a lot. I spent a lot of time just staring at the menu, trying to figure out what I wanted. I landed on the Korean Tacos, which is marinated beef bulgogi, red peppers, scallions, peanuts, wontons and gochujang sauce, all in soft flour tortillas. You get two tacos in each order. They were good but very sweet! I wasn't a fan of the flour tortilla. The people at my table ordered a couple of appetizers -- one of which I loved. The fried burrata was a big ball of cheese hanging out in a dish of vodka sauce, topped with cashew pesto, parm and served with crostini. It was lovely, and I wish I would have just ordered this and ate it all myself. We sat outside on the outdoor patio, which I would not recommend during the summer. There were so many flies! The restaurant did have some fan-things they put on the tables to shoo the flies away, but they only did so much. Next time, I think I'll just sit inside.

The Taco Pizza is a favorite among my vegetarian friends, and my grandkids and their friends love the Pepperoni Pizza. They have some great specialty sandwiches, too. French Sub is delicious!

Nice, long time, 3 generation family owned and operated business! I enjoy their pizza at least once a week!

A deep fried Mt Fuji Roll that was huge; all slices topped with a wonderful krab salad, avocado and masago concoction that made me giddy. Top that off with Sapporo on tap with frozen glasses and I'm finding a reason to drive through Kansas again. Did Ike and Mamie eat here?!!

The Happy Swede is a newer restaurant in Lindsborg, and we stopped in to have brunch one Saturday…read moremorning earlier this summer. We were meeting our family here and despite having a huge group we were promptly seated. The interior of this place feels very small town Kansas, but that's not a bad thing, it just has a homey, casual vibe to it. Our server was incredible. If it was just a review on her hospitality I'd give this place a million stars. Part of the issue, well actually the biggest issue was that she was the only person working in the whole building. Despite being open and having a few tables with folks seated, there was only one person in the whole building and she was the server, the hostess, and the chef. So, we all ordered, all different brunch items, she apologized in advance for how long it might be and then she went back to make our meals. It took probably 45 minutes to get food to come out and it was pretty good overall. I won't say it was incredible or the best omelette I'd ever had, but it held up to other brunch spots and I enjoyed my meal. The main issue was how long it took, and the lack of help the staff had. When we were about halfway through our meal two more folks arrived, one was a very young man who worked to bus the tables etc. and the other was a man who appeared to perhaps be the owner? What really rubbed me the wrong way was how hard the woman in the back was hustling to get food out and how he just walked around and chit chatted with folks, when there were clear issues that morning getting food out the door. It just left me with a poor taste in my mouth regarding how employees and customer satisfaction is valued at this place. Overall though the food was pretty good, and I love supporting local places when we visit Lindsborg. I'm sure we will be back next time we're in town and I hope I have a better experience!
