Spears Restaurant and Pie Shop
Stuck in time with delicious pie

Founded in 1956, you would think that Spears Restaurant and Pie Shop would modernize with time, but that’s the thing, that’s part of their charm. Spears Restaurant and Pie Shop at one time had 6 locations in Wichita, which attests to their popularity in Wichita. However, when we suggested Spears Restaurant and Pie Shop for…

Delano’s Diner
Cool Little Diner in an Old Braums

So, since I was watching Food Network last night and someone on there started talking about Belgium Waffles, I knew we had to go to Delano’s Diner for lunch today.  Let me tell you these things are AMAZING!  They have pearl sugar in them that gives them a sugary crunch and are cooked like I remember…

Wheat Street Dogs
Vegan hot dogs at a reasonable price

Ever get upset at a ballpark when none of the vendors offer a completely vegan dog? Yeah, me neither. However, one hot dog cart has addressed this non-concern and decided to do it in Wichita. Welcome to Wheat Street Dogs. I followed Wheat Street Dogs in the news and gave them a couple months to…

River City Brewery
OG brewery offers decent food

Before breweries started popping up on every Wichita street corner, River City Brewery found its home near downtown Wichita. Since I discovered River City Brewery, I have only visited a handful of times and usually with a large group. This confuses me because I generally consider their food and drink pretty decent. Although they do…

Da Cajun Shak
Best (and only?) Cajun restaurant in Wichita

With news of Da Cajun Shak owners hopping on the chicken bandwagon and opening a fried chicken restaurant, I felt a little disappointed because Da Cajun Shak original will always be the most surprisingly good place that I have ever been. You ever walk into a restaurant located in a strip mall and prepare yourself…

Sweet Allie B’s
Good Food, Good Beer, Disconcerting Mannequins

Sweet Allie B’s is an ambitious endeavor. The space on North Waco includes the restaurant, catering facilities, and the adjacent Limestone Beer Company. I’ve enjoyed the beer on previous occasions.  Their outdoor seating provides a good environment for conversation and relaxation.  The inside of the restaurant is clean and the staff is pleasant and responsive….

Little Lion Petit Café
Waffles, ice cream, and breakfast burritos?

I forgot to pack breakfast and lunch. I forget to do this a couple times a week, and I’m usually either thawing a sandwich from the freezer or being hungry until leaving for lunch. Today, I remembered that Espresso To Go Go hosts the Little Lion Petit Café that serves ice cream, waffles, various baked…

Beautiful Day Cafe
Tiny place with healthier unique options

Whenever we drove past Beautiful Day Cafe on Central, I always thought it was a daycare. It was not until my vegan friend recommended that we go, that I realized that 1) it was not a daycare and 2) what I was missing out on. Beautiful Day Cafe is unlike any other restaurant in Wichita,…

The Kitchen Restaurant
Ok

The Kitchen Restaurant has never served me anything bad. Unfortunately, they’ve also never served me anything that was out of the ordinary or delicious or amazing.  I’ve only been there twice so I realize the limited sample size. As seen in the above picture, I ordered a turkey, apple, and brie sandwich.  See if you…

Ty’s Diner
Historically Good Burgers

  As my handle implies, I have eaten a LOT of burgers in my life.  Many of them have been excuses.  Some of them have been life changing.  Few have made me feel good about my choices. Ty’s serves a good, smashed patty cooked on a flattop that is older than most people alive today. …
