In Manhattan for work and hotel staff recommend this bar/restaurant. It was a short walk from the hotel. I had the grilled chicken bacon smoked cheddar cheese sandwich and at the workshop I'd had plenty of carbs so I went no bun and the bartender recommended to try it with a lettuce wrap. He had a great suggestion it was delicious. Bartender checked frequently on everyone at the bar even with how busy it was. For me it's a bar in a college town on Aggie street so you expect some issues but I'm going to guess someone had seafood that night as it had a heavy smell of the seafood or old beer as they have their own brews Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it for the food n staff. read more

Tallgrass Tap House - Grilled chicken and bacon with smoked cheddar cheese sandwich - New American Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Great food, try the chicken sandwich special it's not on the menu but ask for it. Tossed in soy sauce! Banger sandy. The waitstaff is very friendly and the manager was great too. The place has a very chill vibe with light music ambiance. read more

The service was great, fast, and friendly. We had the pretzel, the crab Rangoon appetizer as well. They were both great and fresh. We also had the wings, wedge salad, fish and chips, and chicken sandwich. I would say that the fish and chips were the best along with the salad. My fiance loved the wings and said they were fried crispy and had a great flavor. We also love that they had sweet potato fries as an option. The thing they stole the prize of best for me was the ranch dressing! You can tell it was house made and so flavorful. We will be back next time we are in town. read more

Great beers and Korean BBQ wings were awesome. My wife had the Mac and Cheese and it was good too. Very attentive and timely service.

In all seriousness, the Tallgrass Tap House owner is very likely going to end up killing a young child due to food poisoning. On a couple visits in 2024, I noticed that hamburgers ordered at our table came out undercooked from what was ordered. In 2025 this has become even worse to the point of being dangerous. During a March 2025 visit, my son and I ordered burgers cooked medium-well. They both came out raw. We sent them back and waited quite a long time (while the rest of our party had to eat without us), and when the waitress brought new burgers out, she asked us to cut into the burgers in front of her to check that they were cooked. Apparently the restaurant doesn't own a thermometer??? In reality, the second burgers were still medium-rare, but it was late and everyone was tired of waiting, so we just took our chances and ate them. There was no apology or offer to take anything off the bill for asking us to eat in stages as we waited 20 minutes for the second attempt. On August 21, 2025, I stupidly gave Tallgrass a second chance and tried their burger again. The restaurant wasn't very busy so surely the kitchen would be able to cook a hamburger, right? Nope. This time I took the attached picture of my "medium-well" burger. I didn't have time to waste with telling the waitress as we had places to be and I simply couldn't wait half an hour for a replacement (undercooked) burger. I'm done with this place and truly concerned they're going to seriously poison someone. The problem is that a hamburger is easy to observe in terms of identifying dangerous kitchen practices, but if this is how they're serving ground beef, what other less easy-to-see problems are occurring such as cross-contamination with potential food allergens, or unclean preparation surfaces? Whoever owns this restaurant is going to get sued into bankruptcy when a customer dies read more

Great food! Great service! And if you come here you have a 50/50 chance of seeing a athlete

Back again! Alas, no flatbreads but nice to see that the food menu and tap selection have changed it up a bit. Several of my beer faves from last visit are still there but graced with some new selections--including a nice British style bitter--that were up my alley. Food this time was a soft pretzel and the hot caprese sandwich. The pretzel was surprising and good since it wasn't overly salty and the dough tasted somewhat wheatier than a typical pretzel. The sandwich waa also decent with fresh Italian meats. read more

Customer service appears inconsistent, especially if you don't have a personal relationship with the waitress or bartender. I've visited during both peak and slow hours, and service could be improved. The food has good flavor, but it occasionally arrives cold. read more

Tallgrass Tap House - Flights - New American Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Tallgrass seems to be a go-to place on Saturdays in Manhattan, which makes total sense. The odd thing though is that I learned while trying to order food that Tallgrass limits their menu on weekends, which means all the things I was excited to try weren't available on Saturday nights. We also were given menus and then waited over an hour for our waitress to return and take our order. In the time we were waiting to order, another couple was sat next to us...ordered their food...finished their meal...and then were comped a portion of their bill due to the wait they had to get their food...all of this while we were still waiting to even place an order. We weren't asking for any of our bill to be comped, but it was odd that we didn't even get an apology for our wait time. The place was nice enough and the staff was very friendly, but the limited menu and the HUGE wait greatly affected our opinion of the place.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and decided to check this place out. We went up to the super cute rooftop and had Ashley as a server. We ended up ordering everything she recommended and our expectations were exceeded! Not exaggerating when I say some of the best food and THE best service I've ever had. Thank you Ashley for starting our vacation out amazing! read more

This place came as a recommendation on a trip to Manhattan, and it met expectations. The place is very modern with three levels and a patio seating area, and the ambiance was a fun vibe walking through. Sat on the rooftop and enjoyed the summer evening. My only suggestion there is to work on the tables which are very uneven and wobble badly. Caleb arrived at the table and provided some helpful suggestions for the meal. He did a great job taking care of the table during the evening as well as managing the many other tables on the roof. He recommend the Korean BBQ Wings as a starter, and while that would not have been my first choice, they were good and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the Tap Mac with the Pork Belly, and it was really good. Could have used just a little more cheese, but it also had a lot of flavor. My friend ordered the Salmon Burger and fries. The star of that dish was the Smoked Tomato Aioli which is ordered as the side sauce that comes with the sandwich. It was good on the fries and it was good on the sandwich. The hard cider we ordered was a great complement to the meal. Overall, this was a nice experience and a good meal while in Manhattan. read more

Went for lunch on a recommendation. The place was pretty quiet during the week for lunch. Was seated right away and asked for a gluten free menu. I asked if they had any gluten free beers they make and the answer was no which is fine but for anyone else curious. I ordered the Tallgrass burger with a GF bun and the Tap House salad side, no croutons. The burger was good but the gluten-free bun fell apart before I was halfway done with my burger. The side salad portion was huge and I appreciated the vinaigrette dressing option. Overall service was good and food was decent. read more

Menu is very limited because it is very weird. Lots of stuff with corn and squash. There was nothing I would eat. Husband had wings, said they were good. Noisy, cramped. Would not return. Expensive for weird, icky food. Smelled like bad fish (overpowering actually) where we were sitting so obviously someone ordered fish that was pungent and bad smelling. read more

Fun spot. We enjoyed the drinks and food but what separates Tallgrass was their service. Everyone we encountered from the hostess to the bus people was smiling. Our server, Talia was the most pleasant waitress we've had in a while. So it's a nice place with bar food and great people. We came in bummed from a baseball loss and left uplifted. Thank you Talia. read more

We took the wrong exit off the freeway looking for a fast food restaurant. When we realized that we were only 10 miles from Manhattan, we decided to drive on in and visit Manhattan. Since the original reason for exiting I-70 was lunch we opted to have lunch at the Tallgrass Tap House - right in the heart of Manhattan. My wife and I both ordered the Bahn Mi sandwiches with pork, pickled carrots, radishes and cumcumber on a baguette. I ordered mine WITH the jalapenos; my wife order her jalapenos on the side. We both also added a bowl of their Pale Ale Bisque - made with 3 kinds of cheese, bacon and fried onions. The soup was exceptionally good and the Bahn Mi sandwiches were the best we've found since ordering some a small deli in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn, NY. Service was exceptional. Our waiter was a young architectural student at Kansas State and he shared a lot of history about Manhattan and the varous "areas" of town. There are only a handful of restaurants that have earned a 5-star rating from me and this is one of them. Considering this was a purely accidential "find", I think we'll be taking the 10-mile detour off of I-70 on our next trip between Columbus and Denver. read more

I've been a longtime fan of Tallgrass as a Kansas brewery. I remember YEARS ago, probably back around 2012 when I discovered a now discontinued vanilla bean buffalo sweat, that literally got me hooked on stouts for a whole season. Essentially, Tallgrass has secured itself as a solid brewery on the plains, and I want to love their restaurant concept so bad, but it just doesn't quite live up to the mark in my opinion. I've been here a few times over the past decade as we have family in Manhattan and it's never a bad place to stop in for a bite and a beer. Firstly it's modern, clean, and despite no longer being new, it feels pretty nice inside. As a building, it meets what you'd expect. Oh, and it's massive. We were last here to celebrate my mother in law's birthday and it was so easy to get a table that could accommodate all of us, though we were I think in their overflow space. My only qualm with the overall atmosphere was that first of all it was COLD, like freezing cold inside, and the music was honestly so loud I could only hear the people seated immediately in front and beside me. So, that kind of dampered the experience for me. Now to the food. I had researched the menu before we arrived (as I often do) and I thought the bahn mi sounded great. I love a good bahn mi and I guess I should have set my expectations a bit lower since it's not a vietnamese restaurant, but it wasn't all that great. It was okay - not bad, but it was dry, and lacked some flavor. It would have benefited greatly from about twice the amount of sauce, and some sriracha offered on the side. It doesn't need to be authentic - you're at a brewery in KS, but it should be delicious. The only other note I have on food is that I upgraded to sweet potato fries and they charge FOUR dollars to simply upgrade your side. I cannot imagine they are in the back hand cutting sweet potatoes so to me, this feels outrageous. They were good fries, and I'd do it again, because I prefer them, but MHK is a much smaller town than KC and even in KC four dollars would be considered highway robbery for a fry upgrade. The one shining beacon for me was the waitress as I thought she really nailed it, was attentive, helpful, and handled a big crowd with ease. Will I be back? Yeah, I'm sure my travels to the little apple will bring me back, and I'll try something new, and hopefully be pleasantly surprised! read more

Excellent service, from walking in the door, recommendations, bartending and waitressing! Guests waiting to be seated recommended the Poutine, as that is why they were there and keep returning. So, we got that with pork belly and a flight! IT WAS SO DANG GOOD!!! Every bite had depth of flavor, cheese, more flavor, and the. Green onions! The hand-cut fries were done to perfection. My gooodness. I can still taste the flavor! The flight was meh. We should have taken a bit more time to evaluate the microbrews before we settled on which ones. There was NOTHING wrong and the flight is WELL worth the price! We may go back on our way back home just to try something else..... or to get the Poutine again!! read more

Maybe you're a skeptical beer drinker who wonders where it all comes from. Well at this place you get to see bins of hops and giant brew kegs, so it's all there and evident that this beer didn't come from your local supermarket. If that still isn't enough for you, take a look at what's on tap and you'll see names of beer that are unique to this single place on Earth. So whether you're by yourself or with a date, this is a good place to go and socialize with others or site quietly at a table. The staff is friendly and well educated (college students). They are fun to talk to and open to conversation. On the outside that you have twenty five of your best friends with you (or perhaps minions), this house has space for a large table for plotting and planning. Or if you happen to be meeting an enemy or someone who owes you money, consider the rooftop area with a great view of the street below.... You catch my drift? read more

I've had a lot of good experiences here, but this time was not as good. The waitress was super attentive, and the wait staff in general were great, but my salad came with dark meat chicken, which I've never come across before and the greens weren't super fresh and the dressing was kind of blah. However the Cream Ale I had was quite nice. read more

The menu is a little ambitious, but as far as the Poutine and burger goes, they nail it. I've had a few years worth of ordering a burger medium and get either well done or rare. Y'all nailed the temperature of the bbq cheddar burger and it was extremely good. The Buffalo Sweat BBQ sauce is fantastic. The biggest reason for me giving five stars is your server, Ashley. She was incredibly friendly and you could tell she knew the menu, including beverages, and had insightful recommendations. She encouraged us to try free samples of different beers which I imagine is a pain in the neck to get for customers, but she was persistent in getting us to try before we buyed so to speak. She offered great recommendations on pairings, too, which was great considering there were some interesting "off the beaten path" type brews (I would recommend the Salty Finn). Beyond her cheerful demeanor she had an air of pride in the product and seemed genuinely happy to be there...at work...on a Saturday afternoon. I feel you don't often get that in most places and it was appreciated by my entire party. I'm from way out of town but visit my in-laws in Kansas often and I am looking forward to coming again and, hopefully, checking out the rooftop area. read more

I was visiting a friend in MHK so I had to stop by the taproom. I had the pup with me so I sat on the outside patio. There was a good amount of seating with outdoor high top tables and bench tables. Our server was helpful in recommendations, but I was sad to see 8bit, buffalo sweat, and other beers not on the menu. The food felt a little overpriced, but it was all fairly good. It had the expected flavor for each item, but didn't feel very unique. It all came out hot and fresh and complimented some of the beers. Overall, I would go back with some friends and I am glad I checked it out. read more

Tallgrass Tap House - Chicken sandwich - New American Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Fries. My girlfriend knew the area and suggested we grab a bite to eat. This is the location that was recommended and she said I'd love the food and she was right. We arrived during a slightly busy time, but were sat down quickly, and looked at the menu. They have a large selection of food to choose from, but I decided on the Chicken Sandwich. Once our orders were placed, they came out 15 minutes later. The food presentation looked appetizing, and the food itself tasted amazing. The Chicken Sandwich was fresh, juicy, and seasoned properly and the bites were light and filling. The french fries were fresh, seasoned properly, hot, and crunchy. When you add the french fries with the honey mustard, it only amplifies the taste. The food was so good I had to order it again! I've never had food taste that great before and I was far from disappointed with this location! I recommend anyone in the area looking to eat some amazing food to stop here! I will definitely be coming back here to order their other menu options. read more

Wanted to try something new to celebrate my birthday. No reservation on a Wednesday evening at 5 pm and only had to wait about 5 mins. The space is very open but the tables are so tall if you are short. they brought the kids meal out as soon as it was ready and I ordered the tap Mac is was creamy and delicious.

Great place in Downtown Manhattan for local beers and in-house beers served by knowledgeable and attentive staff. We really liked our afternoon at Tallgrass. Tallgrass was a great place to watch some football, enjoy some local beers, and decompress from our visit to the K State Insect zoo (TOO MANY LEGS!!) We got a flight of 5 beers, which were very attractively presented and were all good. Nevertheless our faves were readily apparent, and we enjoyed our pints very much! We ordered a poutine "appetizer" to split - which turned out to be big enough for dinner!! The poutine was the best one we have had since we were in Canada, and better than most of the Canadian ones. This poutine is made with brown gravy from scratch not from a packet - and the fried were crispy throughout. 5 Come for beers, stay for poutine stars!! read more

I have always supported Tallgrass here in Kansas City whenever I can find their offerings to include in a mix and match 6 pack. This past Sunday I was able to visit the Tap House for the first time on what was my first visit to Manhattan in almost 30 years. At 6pm on a summer Sunday, the place was packed with a long waiting list to be seated. Fortunately my buddy and I were able to find 2 seats at the bar quickly. With only a short time before we had to get across town for a concert; I ordered the 10oz Draft Horse for a $3 special. At 7.8 ABV this Belgium Tripel did the trick with having just two. With a malty / fruity smooth flavor, I could of had several more and been extremely happy. A great bustling atmosphere and great beer in a renovated 3 story building with lots of space, light and pop art; along with the large brewing vats that take center stage. read more

Big fan of the Tap House!! This is my second time here and I just can't say enough about the customer service and the food! I have had the fried chicken sandwich and the Tallgrass burger, both of which are phenomenal and let's not forget about their brew!!! Depending on the day, you get some great flavors but you can never go wrong with their Ragnarok or the middle child! If you're in the Manhattan KS area ya definitely have to hit the Tap House at least one of the nights you're in town. You will not be disappointed! Make sure you get a fresh glass of water too. It's the most refreshing water I have ever tasted!! read more
