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,…

Thai Village
Casual Thai restaurant serving Thai and Lao options

Only a day after Thai House, coworkers suggested Thai Village and being on the Thai trend train, I obliged. I was determined to find a Thai restaurant that usurp my current (and potentially all-time) favorite. Nestled in a strip mall on the southeast side, you hardly notice it sandwiched in between a pool hall and…

Thai House
Go-to place for carryout Thai

I never thought that I would get into a heated argument with someone over best Thai food in Wichita. A coworker asked for a suggestion for Thai food, and I immediately said, “Chiang Mai”, and another coworker chimed in, “Thai House.” Our coworkers ultimately chose Thai House, so I decided that I needed to find…

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…

Picasso’s Pizzeria
Overcooked twice baked pizza

I like anchovies on pizza; I am okay with pineapple on pizza. That’s the kind of pizza person I am. Some people would never put either topping on pizza, but I say, let them eat pizza. I think pizza can polarize people, and people definitely have strong opinions about it. I know people that just…
