In Ottawa, KS by the Franklin County Courthouse is this little gem. Coffee, coffee, coffee runs…read morethru my mind when I am out exploring. This is a well lit, big windows, open spaces vibe coffee house. The noise level wasn't loud or close to it. There is a bar, coffee and tea, and sandwiches. I ordered an Everything began and Garden Vegetable Cream cheese bagel with added lettuce. There wasn't a line so I decided to take it up a notch. I was shocked with about 5 different cream cheeses to choose from. Check out the lights, windows, and the high ceiling look. I was wanting to chill solo today so I went to the back room. This is where I took the pics. They support small artists and businesses; fun to see what will be displayed in this back room. There is a coffee roaster here too! Marais des Cygnes has cool merchandise to sell besides beans. Clean restrooms and the tables/chairs are well maintained. Back room can be reserved as well. Great for solo, catching up with small groups, or possibly cramming for exams. Not like cozy fall asleep comfy but open well lit feeling. Parking on Main St but better to park on the side (courthouse side). 2 entrances. Another plus is the cashier didn't try to push for a tip (kinda makes me feel uncomfortable when a place asks). Instead I found the nice old fashioned tip jar. Downside: food can take a really long time to arrive (that was my past experience here but that was 8 mo. ago). Today's experience was 10/10 perfect.

The music was subtle and not an overbearing so it was a great space to work or do schoolwork or have a meeting. All of these things were happening while I was there. I ordered a Chai latte with almond milk and the Clubhouse salad. Both tasted great and the salad quality and quantity surprised me. It tasted very fresh and they make their own ranch, which is always a bonus! I received great customer service while there. When I'm back in Ottawa, I will stop in again.

Their menu had a variety of options, but we opted for the pulled pork nachos (after seeing how huge it was from another table) and a Burnt Ends Brisket Sandwich with Cajun fries. Also ordered fresh raspberry donuts for dessert, the owner's creation. The nachos were a huge serving indeed, good for 3-4 people; brisket was delicious; donuts were warm and fresh. Place was clean and organized; definitely a great spot to hangout, especially if you are a KC Chiefs fan! Check this local spot if ever i Ottawa!

OMG. This is a small town tavern serving so pretty good BBQ. I'd heard about it from a friend and…read moresaid their pork ribs are outstanding and they run out. So for me I'm not a rib person I savored their other meats. I had the brisket and polish sausage. I found it interesting how they sliced it (really thin) but for me I got a good taste of the flavor I felt and don't worry they didn't skip on the portions. I got the regular 2 meat sandwich with no bread. They have their own sauce which has a great taste as well. I tried their spicy pickles and I did enjoy it. I would like to see them take their own sauce as I enjoyed the clover and add some kick to it lol. The lady who waited on me was extremely friendly and knew I was not from there and explained everything. It is a small town tavern in the middle of the town Williamsburg nice peaceful and you feel at home. They were not busy when I got there but by the time I left I felt it was standing room only. NOTE!!!!!!!! They are CASH orCHECK only so be prepared. It's worth it just about 20 minutes south of KC

I wouldn't say G&M is divey, but divey adjacent. Beers are cheap, and the food is delicious. I ordered a slab of ribs, so I would have some to take home. They had a great bark, delicious flavor, and were literally fall off the bone. They didn't require sauce, which is good, as the only sauce at G&M's was a bit sweet for my taste. Don't pass up the Jalapeño Pickles! I had the potato salad and beans, both I thought leaned sweet as well, however, the Jalapeño Pickles may have thrown off my taste buds.

The restaurant is easy to find, too. I usually never get dessert but on Fridays they make sourdough cinnamon rolls. OMG! I'll be back for the cinnamon rolls alone! Sooo good!! The prices were reasonable and no complaints there. Just remember this is a no frills place. It's just lovely and will make you want to come again.
