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!

#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.

Stacy's has been building such a tradition for 60 years, perched just off the interstate. Friendly greetings and a real community vibe. Workers and patrons like one another. There's a small counter, a number of booths, and then a larger room of tables. They can handle any size group. Bacon, eggs, hash browns were perfect. Coffee is much better than expected. And get a cinnamon Roll for the road--really superior. Plenty of parking. Get inside and enjoy a community institution

The staff was kind and extremely helpful during preparation for our big day and during the reception. They gave amazing food while making sure all my guests could eat over half of the food options, despite their various food allergies (we had 8+ food allergens to consider). They were timely and well prepared. They even individually served my groom and me, which I would never ask for or expect. We also hired a couple of their staff members to stay the entire evening to help with clean up, and they were beyond helpful. They packaged-up the food to easily take home, took care of the tablecloths we rented for them, and helped with many other miscellaneous tasks. Lastly, we also loved the bartenders that we hired through them. They were friendly, fun, and very efficient, and everyone loved the service and mixed drinks. If you need catering for a large event, definitely contact Friendship House. Would highly recommend for anyone in the Wamego/Manhattan area.
