Poké Mix
Poké worth a drive to west side

I do not find myself making a trip to the northwest side of Wichita very often. Sometimes you can find me at the northwest Target looking for an item the east Target does not carry, but rarely would I make this trip. Of all the Hawaiian restaurants that recently popped up in Wichita, Poké Mix…

Georges French Bistro
French food with unexpected flavors

We do not often see French food in Wichita, but we do have a number of restaurants that like to provide some French offerings. Welcome to Georges French Bistro, where everything is French and we want you to know it. I have been to Georges French Bistro a handful of times, a couple of times…

Reverie Coffee Roasters
It's coffee and baked goods

We stopped by Reverie Coffee Roasters and Founders Bakery on a rainy Sunday morning. Having been to their previous location and struggling to find parking, we were pleasantly surprised to be able to park with ease. First impressions definitely gave off a new Reverie with modern vibe, but also felt like the character of old…

Two Olives
Good food that makes you feel good

DISCLAIMER: I am a vegetarian and I like a good salad. Very few places come to mind when someone asks, “Where can I find a good salad in Wichita?” Some suggestions could include Doc Greens or Panera, but neither of those choices make me crave salad. My cravings for Two Olives’s quinoa crunch salad border…

Bite Me BBQ
Not the worst BBQ in town

For some reason, this has become our go-to BBQ place in Wichita.  I’m not entirely certain why.  My best guess is that Bite Me BBQ is inoffensive and consistent.  The service is ALWAYS excellent, the décor is interesting, and the food is ok.  Parking on along St. Francis is always an adventure, so consider that…

Bricktown Brewery
Not my favorite brewery

With Wichita’s recent brewery trend, up came Bricktown Brewery from Oklahoma. Bricktown Brewery offers a selection of proprietary beer as well as a full bar. I generally avoid breweries because I am not fond of beer, but a gathering with friends took me here. Bricktown Brewery draws crowds because of its atmosphere (televisions and outdoor…

Hana Cafe
Best sushi option in Old Town

DISCLAIMER: I used to work at Hana Cafe and you may call me biased. Hana Cafe came to Wichita in 1997 and first landed in the northeast part of Wichita. Over time, they found their way to Old Town right next to the Old Town Warren. Hana Cafe started out as a tiny restaurant with…

Freezing Moo
Less expensive rolled ice cream

After filling our bellies with warm Korean food, we headed out to Freezing Moo at Greenwich Place for a cool treat. Freezing Moo exists as a regional franchise that offers rolled ice cream. Similar to the frozen yogurt trend a few years ago, Wichita picked up on the rolled ice cream trend within the last…

Hot Stone Korean Grill
Go-to Korean on northeast side

  We headed out to the far end of town to eat some delicious Korean food at Hot Stone Korean Grill a few days ago.  It had been a while since any of us had been there and were looking forward to our Korean food fix. The environment is cool and calming, maybe a bit…

Usuluteco Restaurant
Delicious corn pillows

Pupusas are delicious pillows of masa harina stuffed with equally delicious things like: beef, ground pork, beans, shrimp, and cheese.  Usuluteco cooks every single one on demand and they are amazing.  Slightly crispy exteriors with warm, soft dough wrapped around tasty dreams. Loroco (Fernaldia pandurata) flowers are also featured as stuffing.  This herbaceous vine is…
