not a big fan of the locay. everyones thought on green tea? kindof in no mans land in the 'ville but its really not too bad and the prices aren't terrible.
umis has had a sign up by the courthouse that has said they were open since about last november, very frustrating.
also has anyone gone to the asian market where rockstar and rogers use to be @. they have bubble tea there and some food over lunch. pretty cool place

Good questions. No answers for any of them. If you look behind so long saloon, you can see where/how big it will be. They are still building. I have high hopes because of who is involved. It will work and will be popular. Guarantee. It is supposed to open up in two to three months or so from what I hear. No idea on the name. It will be small though and from what I hear, you will walk up and order and then sit down. They are spending a good amount of money on decor. If I run into certain people, i'll come back with more info.

El Tapatio is pretty good IMO, where Doe's used to be. 

Anyone know when Cozy Burger is opening?  Also, Noodles and Co. going in one of the new buildings between Olive Garden and Walgreen's should be a solid addition.


not a big fan of the locay. everyones thought on green tea? kindof in no mans land in the 'ville but its really not too bad and the prices aren't terrible.

Green Tea is pretty good, and not too expensive, sucks they don't have a liquor license though.  I would assume Umi is open or really close to opening, because they sent menus out in the mail on Monday.

Saw some doughnut place (non-chain) is opening on Manhattan Ave in the 'Ville for summer '11.  Tons of new restaurants lately, its hard to keep up.

Yeah but a sushi only bar would not survive here in t-town, so I make do with what we have. Looks like Umi is going the same route.

El Tapatillo probably takes the "Best Mexican Food in MHK" crown, but then again, that's not saying a whole hell of a lot.

Definitely best mexican food in Manhattan, but service is subpar. Get the fajitas, like $11 if I remember right. Enough for 2 meals.  Smalll $1 margs if you can wait til Friday, but being EMAW, you surely are  :kstategrad: and its no big deal.  Los Potrillos closed but I think it might be reopening after a remodel... can't remember for sure.

That would make sense. They were always setting up a dance floor or something the last couple times i was there. I think they turned it into a nightclub afterhours.

Heard a Chinese place was going in next to a Chinese place and thought it was super weird.


the following story has nothing to do with this thread, but your post made me think about it.

There was a fairly successful chinese buffet here that was owned by a chinese couple.  they had a bitter divorce, and the wife got some money together through business partners and built a chinese buffet literally next door.  the exact same food, same layout, everything.  the only difference is that she lowered the price on everything by $1.  less than a year later, the original place is out of business and the new place is on the verge of death.

don't piss off your chinese wife is kind of the moral of this story.

NOT CONSTANTLY.  Just twice.  And yes she is still with me, because she's a good hwomaaaayowinnnahh.  Also never gave her Dutch ovens on purpose.  Will try soon and report back, though.

I have never had a problem with the service there, and the chips and salsa have always been good which is my main criterion for judging a Mexican place.  But I admit it has been a while since I've eaten there, probably a year or so.  Los Portrillos was good a long time ago but then their chips got to be very greasy and nasty the last few times I went there, so I quit going.

I haven't been to the place on Stagg Hill but I always found La Fiesta/El Caz 2.0 to be very good.  The service has always been good for me.  Maybe Dlew doesn't like it when waiter's first language is spanish?  I like La Fiesta over Los Patrillos because of the salsa, cheese dip and the beef seemed to be seasoned a bit better.  Beef at Los Patrillos always seemed at bit off.

Went to Cozy Inn last night.  SAW MY OLD DENTIST!  Asked him a dentist-related question while we waited for way too long for some tiny burgers. 

Then went to cap it off with a donut at Donut Valhalla.  Was not open yet, not even close.  Dammit.  Went to try Doughboy's Pizza instead.  Was terrible, even worse than Gumby's.  Individual slices are gigantic, though.

Will be eating with Michael Beasley on the cover of Vibe magazine within the next few days.  Will report back.

I'm sorry to interrupt this discussion, but is this thread titled "Have these OK eateries been discussed yet?"   No.  No it's not.  Now let's get this thread back on track, shall we?

Mr. K's Deli out by Grand Mere may be MHK's best kept secret.  Thoughts?

hmm...is it high brow? or just a normal place?
It's about as high brow as a deli with 7-12 dollar plates can be.

they really should've come up with a better name and design then. its called branding and the people that opened that place don't have a clue. sad.
It's a Kites place, spinoff or something.  Apparently it was a bar forever ago and they brought it back in deli-form.

The inside is incredible.  It has a picture of Michael Beasley on the cover of Vibe magazine.

From what I've heard, it's going to be a So Long's establishment, but I haven't heard anything related to the name.  FWIW So Long's fish tacos are an absolute delight.

So is there now a taco place behind Aggie Lou?  Is it good?

the taco place is pretty decent. the decor is fantastic. it shares a kitchen with so long and is owned by the same people. old townies will remember it as the former pyramid pizza parking lot.

The girlfriend and I sat on the patio before the Spring Game and had lunch and gassed through multiple margaritas.  New favorite place in Aggieville - really enjoyable atmosphere.  Since I won't be coming up to basketball games any longer, it's going to be great in the fall.

I've eaten at Wahoo twice, once for lunch, once during Sunday brunch, but I got a regular lunch item.  It was very good both times.  Sandwiches range from $8-$11 and are good-sized portions.  Haven't had any entrees but they are more in the $15-$25 range.  I've had the crab cake sandwich and the pulehi (sp?) steak sandwich.  The crab was awesome, and the steak was very good.  Also had some of the wonton pork nachos which were alright, definitely an interesting combo of flavors, but I probably wouldn't get it again.  A friend of mine who works there says the BBQ Pizza is great.

I've eaten there a few times. Breakdown of things I've had:

Walleye - the best thing I've had there
Marlin - good, comes with cheese and marinara on it which was weird
Snapper - good but not as good as the other two
Ahi - overcooked and small portion
Wahoo - horribly overcooked

The two overcooked meals were from the first week they were open so perhaps they were still learning.

I don't think I'm going back.  I mean it was ok, but cnsidering the plethora of options I just don't see the point.  Seafood in manhattan, ks is dumb.  may as well just go to green tea or umi and at least delude myself with some atmosphere/pomp.

I did too!!

Tried out the fish tacos, they were good.  They don't beat the chile verde tacos, but if you are one of the non-cilantro weirdos, it would be a good place to start with La Hacienda.

Keltic Star was pretty great, but pretty limited menu. I got the mashed potatoes as a side which was a mistake. There were about 5 spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, and Mrs. Jakesie got a platter full of chips for her side.

The atmosphere was amazing, especially considering what it used to be. Definitely worth checking out.

The concern with that project was once again traffic flow, and especially the larger trucks which service Best Buy.  Developers for the project assured the commission such traffic was light, and occurs at off-peak times for the restaurant.

Just wanted to make everyone aware that the guy masquerading as a townie foodie on twitter has been exposed as a fraud.  He made some very serious accusations about RAB getting rid of their patio and he was put in his place by twitter super stud @rockabellymhk

I don't think they actually do that in real weddings any more, it's just for TV and movies

Also, don't know if it's been discussed yet in this thread but Wheat State Pizza is delicious.  Make sure to ask for honey and drizzle it on the (hopefully wheat) crust when you eat it.

Had a buffalo chick sand I think. Was super K-State-y. A little K-State0 at times but in a good way if there is that.

I don't know how high expectations could be eating at a place called Powercat Bar & Grill

It is a Cox Bros. place.  The food is good.

Went to Powercat Bar & Grill when I was home for the Baylor game. Was p. dece. It didn't completely knock my socks off but it was the first week they were open so I'll give them a pass. Had a buffalo chick sand I think. Was super K-State-y. A little K-State0 at times but in a good way if there is that. I mean they have sandwiches called, like, "The THANKS COACH!" sandwich, or whatever.  Margaritas are called EMAWritas. The little room off to the side with like one or two tables is called The FAMILY Room, with FAMILY in serpentine ital. font. :D


Apparently 4 Olives is moving?
I would like to +1 skinny Benny's assessment, nothing really earth shattering on the menu, good but not great food, a little kstate0 on the decorations. The old people will love it though. Also it's owned by Dave drieling


I went to this place last night to catch some MNF action with some buds and yeah it's pretty much a tuck's wet dream.  Ring of Honor built into the ceiling except it's octagon shaped.  Octagon of Honor?  Everyone in my group was pleased with the food was good but the menu, my goodness.  I think there was an appetizer named after Mo and even Joan has a dish named after her. I mean JFC, give it a rest.

anyong haseyo, cat fans!

Bi Bim Bop review:

This is NOT a korean restaurant. It has one page of korean dishes that are more like an afterthought. If you ever crave pusan or korean garden or your friends mom's cooking, this will not scratch your itch.

Bi Bim Bop is still good though. The rest of the menu and food quality is EXACTLY the same as Green Tea. The prices are also the same. We are looking at an impending japanese food aggieville deathmatch. BBB would lose as of right now based on an apparent lack of liquor license. Who wants sushi without warm saki? Nobody. I assume they are planning to serve though since they fixed up the gumby's bar.

The korean spicy wings (boners) were sold out so they must be pretty good good :ck:

Didn't actually have any raw fish sushi to judge, but looking at the sushi bar it was very clean and tidy, all the fish looked good, and there were no bad odors.

The service was good and every single employee thanked us for coming when we left.

This place is a direct competitor with green tea. Same food and same price point. Really weird that someone decided there needed to be two japanese sushi restaurants in aggieville less than a block from each other.

sayonara!

Thanks, everyone, for your expressions of support for your local BullChicks restaurant! As you’ve noticed, we are having a problem with a local operator at our Manhattan location.

In the meantime, thanks so much for your patience.

i assumed it was a franchise, but this makes it seem like not.

Karnivore BBQ downtown is OK. I didn't think it was better than Cox's Bros. They have a pretty good beer selection though.

apparently guy that bought this from the guy who owned veldt lounge got an amazeballs deal on the building and said even if it goes under he doesn't care because he will have a sweet place to party

had a bark...but no smoke ring. brisket was super tender...but probably too tender. Don't have, or were out of chicken. Their Sausage is either Johnsonville or Guinness brand. Only one BBQ sauce...which was too thick. Texas Toast wasn't toasted. I mean...they have some issues.

not really shocked that the place called karnivore across from mtc has issues. also, have heard that the bourbon baker place is the rd (real deal, not rick daris).

I had a couple of drinks there on Friday night. Really cool atmosphere...Definitely a postgrad/townie type of vibe.

I'm not much of a whiskey or bourbon drinker, but as their name would suggest they had a very extensive list...roughly 50-60 types. Ranged from well whiskey (~$5-$6) to some pretty elite looking stuff that ran about $35 a glass. Not a lot of beer on tap, but they have several bottled beers that the gE'ers from the Beer Connoisuer thread would appreciate.

Menu looked pretty amazing as well. I didn't eat but some friends I was with did. A bulk of their menu was small plates comprised of Southern/soul food type dishes - chicken and waffles, sliders, po boys,  deviled eggs ( :Yuck:), and cheesy grits. Also had a entree menu but I didn't see anyone order off it since it was about 10:30. I recall there being a couple of seafood dishes on there.

That's the best I can do...I got a little pak'd Friday night so some of the details escape me. I do suggest get there early as its not the biggest place in the world. There was a little bit of a wait to get a table and there's not a lot of SRO space. Overall I give it  :thumbs:  :thumbs:

powercat grill- better than expected based on previous reviews. 4 dollar odell ipa on tap? yes, thank you.

bourbon baker- pretty good. great? not sure yet. small plates. reasonably priced. really well done decor, etc.

went to Bourbon and Baker last night. Had red beans and rice which was all right, and the walleye which had this cheese sauce with Louisiana hot sauce ( :love:) and mangoes on top. It was pretty good. Friend had the corn on the cob and a slider.

At first your like, "Oh crap these prices are great!" but then you realize the portion sizes are comparable to a German prison camp. The waitress suggested we order tree plates a piece.

Other than that the place is great. Awesome atmosphere with good jazz/blues playing. Ridiculous amount of whiskey if that's your thing. Only three beers on tap, IIRC but their bottle selection is great. I imagine many of those beers would be hard to find at any restaurant within 50 miles. I'll definitely be going back just to drink in the near future, as well as checking out the bakery which is on the other side of the building.

bourbon and baker complaint- if you are going to be a "bourbon/whiskey place", your cheapest really shouldn't start at $5. i mean, if michelin star rated longman and eagle in chicago can have 38 different ones for $3, then surely bourbon and baker can come up w/ one or two. small complaint but a valid one i think.

there are a couple of delightful little shops on ftb that i have my eyes on venturing into some day. no idea what is up w/ that gas station but i did hear that the gas station over by long park/ftb/peoples grocery is going to stop being a gas station and move to 100% taco casa instead of just the current 10% taco casa. again just what i heard and who knows, maybe i heard it in this thread!
you did friend and its already a done deal

man, it's so great that the downtown area is being reinvented with places like this.  any townie observations?  Other than driving through the east side on gameday, I haven't spent any time in the downtown area in the last several years.  Other restuarants/projects in the works?  Has foot traffic, activity, shopping increased?

i mean, it's slow but steady. 3 olives is moving down there and i've heard that the one guy is still planning on opening up hibachi hut down there, although i've also heard that it has been an abolute train wreck so far in terms of getting it up and going. add the new hotels (hampton garden and candlewood) that are within walking distance and i'm pretty excited for the future of the area.

The new Hibachi should open within the next month or so.

rick daris will not stop until this place is an exact copy of longman and eagle. it's a good fight to take up.

i tried to go to longman and eagle last time i was in chicago and i was told it wasnt worth it.

rick and steve, convince me i should go there next weekend...?  :cheers:

where did you go instead?

well, i was in old town so it wasnt worth the hike basically. we didnt go anywhere. i could tell you like 15 rough ridin' brunch places in chicago though?

i just meant where did you go to eat instead of going to longman and eagle so i could silently judge you and your group. it's also like one block off of the blue line up to ord so if you took that in or out of the city then guess what? you were one block away from it. i think it's pretty great but chicago has a ton of great places.

also and i might be luking myself here but while we are on the topic of great chicago restaurants, if anyone wants a quick taste of the purple pig in chicago but doesn't want to go all the way to chicago then they can just go to 75th brewery and get the pigs ear w/ kale. the owners stole it from the p-pig as they have several other items. at least that's what they told me when when i was sitting at the purple pig five feet away from them in chicago earlier this year.

bourbon and baker complaint- if you are going to be a "bourbon/whiskey place", your cheapest really shouldn't start at $5. i mean, if michelin star rated longman and eagle in chicago can have 38 different ones for $3, then surely bourbon and baker can come up w/ one or two. small complaint but a valid one i think.

That place looks great, going to have to go later this month when I am up there.

Hibachi Hut doesn't seem like a trainwreck, just very slow going.  They've had small crews there for a long time.  They did hang the sign today. 

Also the one thing that bothers me about this new downtown eatery fascination is parking.  On the street parking is all open with the construction done, but there aren't a lot of places to park around downtown.

Its also nice to hear of all this stuff opening in downtown since so many buildings were blighted.  Anyone have the deets on the red brick building at 4th and Houston? They've been doing a crap load of work on it.

the problem is that the hilton and the parking garage should have been switched.  Remember that garage sits on ft riley, not houston or colorado.  Sure parking for 99% of other towns this wouldn't matter, especially in a downtown district, but this is Manhattan where people expect to have parking right off Poyntz.  If I had unlimited money I would put a multi-storied garage over the lot at 5th and Houston behind the chamber of commerce.

Bestbuy parking lot is as close to Poyntz as the garage is. This also ignores the mall, which is on Poyntz. Parking won't be a problem until long after everyone on here is dead from cow aids.

The Daras in the ville closed because the owner wanted the pumps out to make room for parking and increased their rent.  Source: Another aggieville business owner

Not sure about the other closures, which I think is the one at the 2600 block of Anderson and 17th & Ft Riley right?  It also seems they've all switched to Cenex.

Gotcha, thought you were saying that downtown would replace AV (i.e. "downtown just starts kicking aggieville ass. was fun while it lasted though.")

downtown and AV aren't mutually exclusive.  I'm quickly becoming an old, recognizing kickass downtown with places like B&B is great for MHK.  But, at same time, AV is where I'll be on gameday.

I ate at Karnivore last night and really enjoyed it. Great food, but for the time being it's kind of weird because I imagine it will be pretty slow until a bunch of people try it and spread the word. The atmosphere is a little bland due to lack of people, but it's a great place to go sit at the bar and watch a game with a bro. It probably doesn't help that it's downtown and the only people who go down there are super old and wouldn't want to eat BBQ.

just across the alley from the current one on third street. instead of being on vattier it'll now be on bluemont right by the roundabout. i predict hilarity to ensue with that set up but who knows.

my guess is that they'll realize putting it right next to a roundabout was a fail and they'll have to build some sort of double decker roundabout w/ mcd cars on one level and people trying to get places on the other. maybe even install a drive through menu ordering screen or something.

Uh, I had a pasta and mushroom dish with chicken, 176 had the sirloin steak special. Both were delish.

We do this family dinner thing kind of regularly, we've already done:

Not sure how much your group likes Mexican food, but El Tap and La Fiesta are pretty accommodating for large groups.

Been to La Fiesta too.
Can the station accommodate a large group?

To clear up the Powercat Grill thing; they won't seat in the dining room any party over 12 and to have the 'family' room there is a $500 min.  The group normally shells out $300-$400.  Only 1 out of the 16 is underage.  Pretty much everyone else slams back a few drinks with dinner.

Oh forgot about this thread and that I went home this weekend and was told by the barbers next door what is going on. Apparently, AJ's Pizza is moving their Aggieville location into the old Dara's, and AJ's old (current) Aggieville location is becoming a Jeff's Pizza. I guess it is some Nebraska pizza chain.  :dunno: Maybe luked.

EDIT: After a quick google search it looks like this is the place they were talking about. Looks like it's from Iowa, so probably gross. Havs?

so the new 4 olives in dtmhk opened up friday. absolutely great looking space and they will have a little patio that they can open up when it's nice. ridiculous drink list, wine list, etc. service was just ok but they have only been open for 2 days so should improve. dtmhk you sexy sob i hardly even knew it was you.

dtmhk questions answered by dtmhk and gE guru rick daris....

4 olive price question by kk-don't know as i could never even once bring myself to go to 4 olives because of the fact that it was located at the end of that horrible stretch of strip mall. did seem overly priced though. got the charcuterie board. pretty meh. will order entree next time and report back.

desert question by mir- no idea as i'm not a desert guy. they do have a bakery though and i tend to think bakeries and deserts go hand in hand though so my guess is two thumbs up.


4 olive/della vocce question by ttowner raquetcat- i would say that they are now catering to a different crowd. della vocce has lower their menu price points over the last year and has some pretty affordable apps w/ drinks specials etc. should not affect it to much is my guess.

also, i know that olive is in their name and all but gosh darn guys not everybody loves them as much as you. i mean it's possible to make a dish without having the olive as a featured ingrediant. i'm all like well that looks goo... nevermind, more olives.

what about bakeries? is this an impending civil war? bourbon and baker has a bakery, 4O is opening a bakery called 4Cakes right next to their restaurant, and radinas is opening a bakery in blue earth place. I also saw there was a chocolate place across from the chef, is that kind of a bakery? Can that tiny radius support so many specialty bakeries? worth a doubt, if you ask me.

the quick answer is yes. the longer version is that i assimilated the key words "mhk" "classy" "clams" "date" and "subdeb" and entered them all into the super computer that i built for the posters who look like celebrities thread from last year and it spit out "olive garden". let me know if anyone else needs me to do this for them. the confidence level of the machine for that suggestion was 95% incase anyone was wondering.

well the computer assigns different weighted averages based on a log base 10 scale of information that i derived when i built it using a "warp" processing chip and near as i can tell it put more "weight" into "clams" then it typically does into single words, but i've never seen it make a mistake before so unless i start to see a pattern or something i'm going to error (lol) on the side of the computer.

Well they started out with the most expensive drinks in Aggieville to having prices comparable to Johnny Kaw's and Kite's. The only appeal they have is the rooftop, so maybe they'll do alright once it gets nice out again. But they'll be fighting this battle against winter every year that they're open.

Their indoor atmosphere just isn't a great environment, especially for the food that they serve. And their owner pissed off a lot of other owners in Aggieville by being a douche. I mean, he'd go into other places before they opened, talk about how great his bar was going to be over a couple of drinks, then not tip. At some point he made a comment to a beer rep about how he couldn't wait to open this bar, sit back and just watch the money roll in. But as it turns out, when you've never worked in the restaurant business you can't just open a place up and expect it to succeed.

Wabash has a really shitty location for a C+ 1863, which is essentially what they are in the winter.  The rooftop bar is a lot of fun hen it is nice out though.  I haven't ate their food, nor do I plan to when the best food in MHK is literally 15 feet away.

alright, so i had the Caribbean jerk chicken and it was pretty decent.  i had been craving some grilled chicken pretty hard lately, and for some reason that's not really offered in the 'ville (at least at the places i go to).  could barely taste the jerk sauce tho next time i'll have to order some on the side or something.

um, they have a million kinds of chicken fingers so i'm probably going to be there every night.

um, they have 3-6pm happy hour and 10-1am happy hour.  both looked pretty pud tho.

um, everyone in there minus the staff were total uggos and it was decently busy.  like, the all the gpcPAK'rs in the corner would be in the top 5 of attractive people in the place (i was number 1)

overall, probably a good place to eat/watch a game, but i'd never be in there past 10

Shitty, generic "sports bar" with cheap, terrible food?  Yeah, I'm sure it's similar. 

Ps, not knocking it.  It is what it is.  It's a place to drink beer.  Shitty sports bar certainly serves it's purpose from time to time.  Like, the quaff in KC, for instance.

They made a terrible mistake by opening up full time and considering the first few weeks to be a "soft opening". The servers were learning as they went and a lot of people tried it during that time. I sit at the bar everytime so I cannot commit on the improvement or lack thereof in terms of service. But I've never had anything but an outstanding meal from there.

the new hibachi hut is open.

1) clams alert*!- the johns spicy now comes standard with a pint of milk to wash it all down. it's listed in the description of the meal and all. as if pclams needed another reason to check the new place out.
2)great decor. more cajun themed. nice bar when you walk in on the left with hightops on the right. two big flat screens behind the bar. back behind the bar area are all the original booths that were reapolstered (sp) along with the big picture of the swamp. the whole place is really, really, well done.
3)menu-similar but with some additions. everything is a dollar or two more than it was before. they feature abita on tap and have some other nola themed parts of the menu.
4)extras-there will be a basement with private room that you can schedule/maybe rent out.
5)there will be a back patio.
6)overall two thumbs up.

Tallgrass heading downtown


Steve Cameron

For a company just seven years old, Manhattan’s Tallgrass Brewing Co. is on a heck of a roll.

The regional brewer is doing a booming business selling its variety of beers both inside and outside the Flint Hills area, and now president and founder Jeff Gill has decided it’s time to get into the retail arena.

Thus the company has announced that it will open an entirely new venture, a brew pub in downtown Manhattan called The Tallgrass Taphouse.

The pub, which will feature a full-service restaurant and a complete small-scale brewing operation, will be located in the 300 block of Poyntz Avenue – in the space formerly occupied by the Jo-Ann Fabric Store.

“This is a great opportunity for Tallgrass to connect with local craft beer drinkers,” Gill said. “We’re excited about expanding the craft beer scene in our hometown – in the ways that we’ve seen it on the coasts and in Colorado.”

Besides serving the beers brewed at the downtown location and current Tallgrass favorites, rare and oneof- a-kind offerings created by other brewers around the country will be on tap.

The Taphouse location also should serve as a “test kitchen” for Tallgrass beers, with the goal of finding the right products for distribution throughout the United States.

“We have big plans for the future, and we need a place to try new things,” Gill said. “This brew pub will provide us with a great creative outlet that will be critical to our success.”

Gill said he hoped that the Taphouse could be open by the end of the year.

The restaurant and brew pub will cover a space of approximately 5,900 square feet, with a seating capacity close to 200.

The Manhattan-based architectural firm of Bowman, Bowman and Novic, Inc. will be handling the venue’s design.

Tallgrass currently maintains just a single facility, the brewery at 8845 Quail Lane, but Gill makes no secret that success has allowed himself and wife Tricia to begin looking at bigger targets.

Gill suggested that it was possible the company could have another announcement in the next few weeks.

There has been speculation around the region that Tallgrass has been searching for a much larger base of operations.

At the moment, Tallgrass Brewing produces the company’s Original Pub Ale, Velvet Rooster, Buffalo Sweat, 8-Bit Pale Ale and others as they’re developed and tasted.

Tallgrass is distributed in 13 states, although Gill doesn’t bother hiding wider ambitions.

“We’ve been fortunate that when we took this gamble and got into the business, we found the right niche and right products,” he said. “It’s a thrill to have people enjoying your products, and obviously we love the fact that these beers are our own.”

Gill could only chuckle when it was suggested that Tallgrass and Manhattan could someday be connected in far-flung places.

Heineken, you think Amsterdam. Lowerbrau means Munich. And closer to home, Budweiser has to make you think St. Louis.

Is Tallgrass headed in that direction?

Seven years of success and now a full-fledged brew pub and restaurant in Manhattan’s revitalized downtown indicates a pretty dynamic start.

“It’s nice to hear good things,” Gill said, “but we’re only as good as what we produce, and where we go from here.

“But of course, this move to a true brew pub in the heart of downtown is pretty exciting for all of us. We hope it will be exciting for Manhattan"

Their cans look like a 4th grader at Woodrow Wilson drew them in crayon. And I can only imagine how shitty their food will be, probably comparable to Wabash. Like I said, LABCO > TG and it's a wide margin. Instead of Taco Tuesday at Porters or Wing Wednesday at Tubbys (til 7:30), try a big boy restaurant sometime.

LABCO has some good things on their menu and some good beers, they cannot brew them consistently though.  I honestly haven't ate and drank at enough other brewpubs often enough to know if this is a product of small batch brewing in general or just them.

Anyone here been into the Tallgrass Brewing? They just stopped brewing the wheat altogether, which is awesome, because that was by far the worst one. I guess they're starting a new one in the next couple of weeks. Tons of hops. Count me in.  :cheers:
lol, they are garbage.  Sorry manhattanites.

Tallgrass is nasty crap

And my favorite,

I also find it hilarious that Tallgrass and Free State waste money on making a wheat beer. Nothing will ever beat out Boulevard in the midwest.

the funny thing is blvd makes a garbage wheat beer

"average at best" is major league hating. its like a passive agressive thing.  I would rate things that are horrible above things that are average at best.

Hey, puni no hate here! Here's my deal with boulevard. Some of their smokestack stuff is very good like tank 7 and the saison-brett. Their normal stuff I'll drink if I have to, but overall pretty meh and not something I would ever buy at a liquor store for a Tuesday night binge.

Wasted $9 at RAB last night. The fact that this places' food gets talked up so much is just mind blowing. I mean, the sandwich was ok but jfc, I can go to Hyvee and make a far superior deli 'wich. Next time I go I might start an "overrated" chant.

Had RAB for lunch. It was incredible.  :lick:

Walked away thinking I need to eat there more often...That makes it underrated, right?

had the new hut tonight.  liked the new place.  had the red beans and rice (with pork, cause i'm not a big fan of sausage.  the pork was super super good tho), and while it was plenty good, it needed a little more spice imho.

menu changed quite a bit it looks like.  was disappointed that blackened chicken didn't make it except in salad form.

4 olives mushed me pretty hard last night.  Strolled in hoping for a nice dessert and drink and was told that reservations were booked solid.  I asked about the bar and the hostess said "make yourself at home." And then looked down at her reservation.  She came back around for some comment I didn't even hear as I walked off defeated after scoping the bar.

Has anyone else been here? I have a friend in town that's staying at the Four Points so we're watching the game there tonight. This was far from my first choice, but he seemed excited about it so I'm just going with it.

And what's their beer sitch? Do they just have Blvd products on tap, or is it a wider selection?

Did not eat, but my friends that did said it was pretty meh. Apparently they've already replaced their chef?

As I mentioned, preliminary..so pre-permit submittal to city.  Owner has to decide what they want before starting any PDP with the city. 5 + different layout combinations all with Potbelly included....so I say a Potbelly-included layout of some sort, certainty 5 out of 7

I had never heard about it, but saw it on the way to goodcents and we decided to live vivaciously.

The food I had was suprisingly good. The staff seemed like they had been watching TV all day and were very suprised to have to prepare food for a customer.

I am confused by their business model. Fast casual type restaurant that chose to go for a liquor license before a soda fountain. They serve tapas size portions. If I had a server, I would have kept ordering stuff.

The cold noodles, "tacos", and sliders were all things that I would actually like to eat again. They should hook up with wildcat2go.

According to Urban Dictionary:

"A phrase used as a noun overall. An individual who seemlessly combines the social attributes of a "baller" (one who demonstrates a dispensable income at social gatherings which automatically lead to popularity and desirability with both the male and female members of any given social group in any given social situation) and a budget-minded individual who aspires to achieve a similar level of popularity and desirability without having a dispensable income on hand."

I really think they are coming  :crossfingers: (honestly)
and the guy tried to bump there rent significantly, he said ok we aren't paying that proceeded to move crap out they called him back a few weeks later and said ok we want you back and you can pay what you had been.. nah, sorry.
wouldn't be surprised if he changes his mind eventually
Oh forgot about this thread and that I went home this weekend and was told by the barbers next door what is going on. Apparently, AJ's Pizza is moving their Aggieville location into the old Dara's, and AJ's old (current) Aggieville location is becoming a Jeff's Pizza. I guess it is some Nebraska pizza chain.  :dunno: Maybe luked.

EDIT: After a quick google search it looks like this is the place they were talking about. Looks like it's from Iowa, so probably gross. Havs?

http://www.jeffspizzashop.com/ames-pizza.php

never heard of this place, will eat there this week and report

Guys it was pretty good. I had the 10" supreme.I thought the pizza was very good and I'm pretty picky about pizza. Outside of their 10" specialty pizzas, their prices are phenomenal. I didn't get it but they had signs in their napkin holders on all the tables that said "$10 bucket of 5 bottles of beer every day, all brands." They do have a great selection of bottled beer including Leines. They also have four pretty good meal deals for $5.50. Anyway the pizza was great and I definitely will have it again soon, I hope they do well in Aggieville.

Post by: kansas_troll_patrol on May 01, 2014, 10:10:08 AM
I can report that the Dancing Geisha was pretty good.  Average meal runs from $12 - $16.  I had a chicken korma ant it was really good.  It came with a dish of rice.  When I first saw the food, I thought I was going to leave hungry, but by the end of the meal I realized I shouldn't have finished it all.  My one complaint regarding the food is that it felt like a pretty limited menu to me.  I'm not familiar with Indian food, so maybe that is the norm. 

Now the wait staff was running around kinda clueless, but it was the first night.  They were very nice, but it seemed like maybe they hired people who have never been servers before.  The messed up my ticket with someone else's and had some prices on the ticket, different than the menu listed price.  So make sure you check your ticket to ensure that this was a 1 time accident.

I was also warned about how spicy the food would be.  When I ordered a beer ($2 Shiner Bock) the waitress told me I would defiantly need a water with my meal because of the spice.  I can report that I did not need a water.  I would have taken my food quite a bit hotter.  They talked me out of the hot and into the medium.  I would say if you're a person who enjoys spicy food, don't let them sway you like they did me.

Other than Shiner I thought the drinks were a bit expensive.  They run $7 for a tall very skinny glass.  I ordered an Indian spin on a bloody mary.  It did not disappoint.  I didn't really taste any liquor in the drink, but the spices they used it might have been masking the vodka. 

Overall I really thought it was a neat place.  I'm sure when things get running normal and the wait staff calms down a bit, it will be a neat restaurant.

Here is the menu.  I got these pictures from their fb.

I was pleasantly surprised with how good Dancing Ganesha is already after only being open for 2 days. The interior was nicer than other Indian restaurants that I have been to. Tried the 3 chicken dishes and all were very tasty, especially the chicken makani. The surprise of the night was the gobi manchurian appetizer. It was one of the best things I have eaten at any Indian restaurant. Also, the chili pakorasi were very good too. The wait staff def seemed a little clueless but it didn't take away from the experience.

We also got to speak with the owner and found out that the current menu is just to get them started and will probably be added to within the next few months once they get everything streamlined. She mentioned some very delicious sounding dishes that they were considering. Also, their lunch specials sound awesome and I will have to go and try that very soon. All in all, very happy with the new addition to Aggieville and Manhattan.

Alright, one more update on Dancing Ganesha. Tried the lunch specials today. $9 for your choice of chicken tiklka masala, lamb vindaloo, or veggie masala. Comes with a heap of rice, beans, tandoori chicken or a slaw (depending on whether you got the vegetarian dish or not), 2 slices of naan, and some sort of dessert. Today was a jelly kind of thing made from dates, cashews, wheat, and some mixture of spices. It was surprisingly good esp. on the naan. Everything was very good and fresh. Meals came out quickly. This place is going to be awesome.

I am curious to see if it is possible to be successful as both and Indian Cuisine Restaurant AND a nightlife nightclub bar. 

is it possible to party gronk and dance and pick up ladies/dudes while surrounded by and exuding the notably potent fragrances of indian food? Time. Will. Tell.

Went last night. Food was very good. Service was pretty terrible but I was told that basically all of the servers are new to the service industry. I imagine they'll get better.

I had the vegetable samosas and the chicken tikka masala. Lady friend had the paneer. KPT is correct in that they try to scare you away from getting your food "Indian hot." If you aren't a chump, you can definitely handle the heat.

Cocktails were expensive but the Bloody Maharajah is my favorite bloody in Aggieville.

Side note... heard a rumor that the building next to it is owned by the same people and that they are thinking about making it a quick-serve Greek gyro/falafel place.

I have very low IFIQ, so i was very clueless when ordering. I did get the chicken makani...and after also trying the chicken korma and  chicken tikka masala, i feel like it was the best.  I ordered it mild, and found it perfect.  Our table did not get any naan, which i realize now we may have missed out on something good.  I'll definitely be going back and can confidently say it's the best Indian restaurant/night club in Manhattan, KS.

btw, Great review, ktp. You obviously keep yourself in good company.

Maybe they were just on a roll that day or maybe it had something to do with me reading this article (http://www.thedailymeal.com/americas-35-best-ribs/5514) about America's 35 best ribs. Oddly, no Wichita or OKC places were mentioned (MIR bait)

Pizza Ranch is about the most Iowa'y thing in the world

yes you did but would listen again!

I had no pizza ranch experience before I moved here, there were many red flags
-only other ones I had even seen are in Emporia and Liberty
-it's a pizza buffet that heavily advertises chicken
-it's called rough ridin' pizza ranch
Anyway I had lived here for about a month and my family hasn't moved yet. It was a Friday night and I was hungry as hell but tired, I didn't want to cook so I said what the hell and went for it. I had serious reservations about going to a pizza buffet alone on a Friday night, especially one in Boone Iowa with fried chicken signs everywhere. I thought the judgment of me would precede me into PR by about 50 feet, I couldn't be more wrong. First of all it took them 10 minutes to seat me, I really don't know why. The pizza was as horrendous as it looks, they have a wide variety on the buffet, but it's a wide variety of weird crap. I snuck a piece of chicken and it was really gross, soggy and salty. After I looked up from my shame I saw a lot of people wearing matching racing team shirts and boots, they were all sitting in the same area of the ranch, one of the tables were facing out like it was the head table, there was a lady in a wedding dress a lady next to her in a button down shirt, not a blouse, two gentlemen on the other side of her both wearing the racing shirts, there were also a crap load of kids at this reception. The woman in the button down confirmed to me, without me asking, on my visit to the buffet to get yes watermelon, that the bride and groom had just gotten married.


I chuckled about this to myself then felt bad and continue to do so because I really don't think anyone has a Friday night dinner rush reception a pizza ranch willingly.

True story. I got my car loan through Meritrust cause it was like some crazy 1.8% intrust. Amazing, right? :love: Only problem, I have to mail them a check every month. They charge you for online or over the phone payments. It's like an additional $25. So rough ridin' weird.

gates ribs are pretty good, just not as meaty as what you get from jackstack and okie joes.  but then, jackstack's sauce isn't as good as gates. 

my order would be-
1) jackstack
2) gates ribs most of the time
3) ok joes

i just love gates sauce that much.  i don't know how bryant's ribs made any list.

you could go wild in the $8-$13 range and most likely not be disappointed. waks recommended Breckenridge to me. it's not a true bourbon because it is distilled in breckenridge, co, but it is very good. i also like bookers but that is fairly common. i have not tried the woodford double oaked yet. it is what i have planned for my next trip.

you could go wild in the $8-$13 range and most likely not be disappointed. waks recommended Breckenridge to me. it's not a true bourbon because it is distilled in breckenridge, co, but it is very good. i also like bookers but that is fairly common. i have not tried the woodford double oaked yet. it is what i have planned for my next trip.

Ummmmm, guys?

it's not a rough ridin' bourbon, you weirdo.

Who's gonna tell him   :frown:

the owners are a family. sister is the new executive chef and brother will run front of the house/bar. expect a new name and an entire new concept within six months or so. they wanted to open a new restaurant in mhk and the guy who used to own dv found out they were looking. it made the most sense for them to just buy dv and turn it into what they wanted instead of building out a whole new place.

I was a normal college drinker.  I drank one bottom shelf liquor mixed with one mixer for a low price in Aggieville for years.  Then one day I stumbled upon a quaint little place in between a dumpster and a uniform shop. 

Inside, the well dressed gentleman showed me a cocktail list. "If you drink all of these cocktails, your name will go on a plaque!" He exclaimed. I began to try them each one by one.  I was intimidated at first because my feeble understanding of cocktails had been determined by the masses down Moro. Yet, as I drank on I felt like Don Draper (although I never really could pull off a fedora).  As I became accustomed to my drinks there I realized through my own research and by talking with the regulars that these drinks were actually prevalent in bigger cities around the country. "No way!" I exclaimed.

I then turned my attentions to my old haunts in Aggieville only to find they knew nothing about making these drinks.  Only one small haven remained in what used to be the Purple Pig.  There they had a small grasp of what a cocktail should look and taste like.  It was from that day on that I was determined to find any other place in my small town that could equal the delicious beverages I had been consuming. Alas none could.  Many places had potential.  Yet, none were up this new haughty standard I had reached. 

As a noted baller on a budget I realized these cocktails could never be the norm in my life.  Thus I continued to imbibe the best that could be found.  But from then on the litmus test for a good drink rested solely in my experience at that quaint place between the dumpster and the uniform store.

Had Dancing Ganesha for lunch. The lunch menu is very limited. There's basically 5 portions (chicken leg, naan, rice, Indian beans* and Indian coleslaw*, dessert) plus whatever dish you picked (lamb, fish, chicken, or veggie). I wish I could have just gotten a big portion of the lamb that I ordered instead of all the sides. Everything tasted fine though, just wanted more lamb. Also you couldn't adjust the spice level for the lunch special, so I missed out on getting to try "Indian spicy" food.

I also thought it was funny that is the only option they give you and they serve it for $9. I'm no baller on a budget, but a lunch special like that in Aggieville would usually run $6-$7.

Need to try the dinner menu so I can get a better idea of all this stuff.

* - I am not going to attempt to remember what these sides were actually called, so you are stuck with my white midwesterny descriptos.

* - I am not going to attempt to remember what these sides were actually called, so you are stuck with my white midwesterny descriptos.

the menu for the one in Minneapolis (same owners) is a lot more expanded, so i'm hoping they get to that level eventually.  http://www.dancingganesharestaurant.com/

anyway, the pictures of the manhattan menu are a little fuzzy and i can't tell if it says cocktails are $1 or $7, can anyone confirm? that pomegranate martini looks good :D

Had Dancing Ganesha for lunch. The lunch menu is very limited. There's basically 5 portions (chicken leg, naan, rice, Indian beans* and Indian coleslaw*, dessert) plus whatever dish you picked (lamb, fish, chicken, or veggie). I wish I could have just gotten a big portion of the lamb that I ordered instead of all the sides. Everything tasted fine though, just wanted more lamb. Also you couldn't adjust the spice level for the lunch special, so I missed out on getting to try "Indian spicy" food.

The menu will indeed be expanded in the coming months. We spoke with one of the owners and she was telling us about all of the different types of food they want to do in the future. Sounds like they will start doing more sauces than the 3 or 4 that they do now, other traditional Indian dishes, and some awesome dish that basically sounded like an Indian burrito(tasty stuffs wrapped up in some sort of giant Indian crepe). I am hoping that the menu additions come sooner rather than later. Also, the cocktails are $7

Used to be the head chef at Aggie Station.  I heard last night that he had gotten offers from almost every kitchen in MHK and decided to move elsewhere.  That source said he was going to KC.  :dunno:

Word on the street is that it will be a "menu by committee"... not sure if that's a good thing.

The menu will indeed be expanded in the coming months. We spoke with one of the owners and she was telling us about all of the different types of food they want to do in the future. Sounds like they will start doing more sauces than the 3 or 4 that they do now, other traditional Indian dishes, and some awesome dish that basically sounded like an Indian burrito(tasty stuffs wrapped up in some sort of giant Indian crepe). I am hoping that the menu additions come sooner rather than later. Also, the cocktails are $7

Looks like the other location serves dosas, so that's probably what he's referring to.  I'm not a dosa guy myself -- it's an awkwardly large crepe with a dallop of some filling in the middle.  If you want an "Indian burrito" find yourself a kati roll.  So good.

But they're totally different kinds of Indian food: dosas are from the South, kati rolls are from the northwest (Calcutta), so you're not going to see them both in one restaurant.

To clarify earlier discussion, Russ had no "offers" from any place in mhk nor did he really want any. He was offered at 2 places in KC and will choose between those. Russ was a badass but Chef Jeff (along with erii) will take AS to the next level. I expect Bolos and Wahoo to both be out of business within the next 12 months.

I think you're disrespecting Keltic Star here. Wabash's food brings nothing to the table that Kaw's, Tanner's, Tubby's, and Kite's all do just as well, if not better. Keltic Star at the very least offers a unique atmosphere and menu that nobody else does.

Wabash is noticeably better than Kaw's, Tubby's, Rusty's and Kite's. It's on par with Tanner's and Keltic Star. Keltic Star has a unique theme and decor, but the quality of food is not that great.

you guys know what i had the other day that was pretty good? wahoo. you know what i did afterwards that wasn't actually horrible? went next door to mojos for $2 anythings. i mean just absolutely anything. stayed for a good hour on the patio. would do it all over again.

That 2 dollar anything was looking attractive to me as well

Pro tip: Rich ppl are rich for making $2 dollar anything decisions.  :gocho:

A few positive thoughts on the new AS menu...

- Hog Pile is an excellent name for pork nachos. I hope someone got a raise for that one.  :thumbs:
- Thank you for adding a spinach salad, because I like to eat as healthy as possible when dining out and lettuce is  :Yuck:
- Pick 2 Combo  :love:
- What is the age limit for ordering off of the kids menu?  :D

One negative thought on the new AS menu...

The first time I ate at Freebirds I hated it.  Then I found out it was because their rice is rough ridin' gross.  After I stopped getting it, it was pretty good.  Not Chipotle good, but better than Qdoba.

very little movement on Qdoba since putting up the sign.  Did some minor hvac stuff (maybe tore down an hold section of air handler) and haven't done crap.  Still has the notices up about anytime fitness ejecting.

Those rankings seem about right...

Tanner's has a far better TV set up, but PSG has far better food. Which one you prefer depends upon what you find more important in a sports bar. PSG is the type of place I go to eat with my parents, Tanner's and Willie's are places I go with my buds to watch games and drink beers.

The Boulevard Grill in KC has free beer on Wednesdays from 5-6:30. About only reason to go in there.
I didn't even know this was a thing.
It is. Near airport. 5 free pale ales and then two rye on rye is not a good weeknight combo.

For someone who loves donuts as much as you do this is surprising.

Varsity is my ride or die. Their coffee is legit too. Probably better than Dunkin's. Arrow Coffee is BITB for MHK coffee tho...

Anyone eaten at Hibachi Hut lately? I'm curious how they're doing. Doesn't seem like anyone is ever in there.

I was never much of a fan of Hibachi Hut when it was located in Aggieville.  But since they've moved I've really become a fan.  I've been there several times & have always left happy.  No matter what you do, try the tiger sauce that sits on the table.

You can buy that at Hyvee fwiw

Thanks!  I've got a bottle in my fridge that was gifted to me by a friend.  I wasn't sure where to get it at.

They ran out of beer for about 10 minutes before restocking the 8 Bit and Ethos...Their two best beers IMO.

Also, anyone who goes to a beer tasting at a zoo and expects a gourmet meal is an idiot. The walking tacos were kind of Iowa'y tho.

TownieCat's Unofficial Post-binge Dining Power Rankings: After 2am Division

1. AJs. It has everything you want in a slice of pizza after polishing off a dozen Coors Lights... Value, timeliness, and lots of grease
2. Hunam. Get the Dragon and Phoenix...You can thank me later.
3. Pita Pit. People who don't like PP have no taste buds and probably consider chicken strips their favorite food. They can GTFO.
4. Fuzzy's. I would probably never eat here sober, but where else can you get nachos in MHK at 2am?
5. Jimmy John's. Nothing against Jimmy John's, but I can make a ham and cheese sandwich after I stumble home. Thanks, but no thanks.
751. Varsity Food Truck. Their mac 'n cheese grilled cheese is an absolute delight, as are their corndogs, but there is no way in hell I'm ever waiting in that line for more than 5 minutes.

LOL, everything Pita Pit gets is prepackaged and frozen. Out of curiosity, what do you get there? If you say chicken I will lose respect for you forever. The only meat they prep themselves is the ham, turkey and roastbeef. Also, you put Hunam at number 2 on your list. Hunam is worse than Pita Pit.

So much is an exaggeration. But since you inquired, frying something is a lot different than just throwing something precooked on a grill until it gets warm.

TownieCat's Unofficial Post-binge Dining Power Rankings: After 2am Division

1. AJs. It has everything you want in a slice of pizza after polishing off a dozen Coors Lights... Value, timeliness, and lots of grease
2. Hunam. Get the Dragon and Phoenix...You can thank me later.
3. Pita Pit. People who don't like PP have no taste buds and probably consider chicken strips their favorite food. They can GTFO.
4. Fuzzy's. I would probably never eat here sober, but where else can you get nachos in MHK at 2am?
5. Jimmy John's. Nothing against Jimmy John's, but I can make a ham and cheese sandwich after I stumble home. Thanks, but no thanks.
751. Varsity Food Truck. Their mac 'n cheese grilled cheese is an absolute delight, as are their corndogs, but there is no way in hell I'm ever waiting in that line for more than 5 minutes.

You're not a townie if you don't know to take full advantage of the summertime population drop. I ate my fill of Varsity truck this summer, enough so that I got tired of it. About the time school lets out again for the summer, I will be ready to eat at the truck once more.

What do you mean by 'real' philly? Cheez Whiz? Actually from Philadelphia? Either way I'd be willing to bet I've had more than you. I'm not saying Pepperjax is the end all be all of phillies. But that doesn't mean it isn't good and not a quality addition to the MHK late night food scene.

Philly steaks with whiz are basically made for tourists.   White American or provolone cheese and freshly made is the way to go.   The sandwich starts with the bread.   Those garbage places like Pat's and Geno's  cater to tourists and serve up a pile of hours old meat and onions on gross bread.

godspeed, KK. thats exciting, I hadn't aware they had opened. JC restaurants are as a rule just enourmous clusterfucks when they first open (and then they die).

My understanding is you pick the steak you want out of the cooler and they cook it for you to order with family style midwestern sides.

we get munson steaks for holidays and special occasions and stuff.

give me a fresh perfectly cut angus steak from an american company like wal-mart any day of the week over this munson stuff.

Munson and Hildebrand are too old respectable farm families.  Bramlages run the rest of the town.  There is your Kansas royalty lesson for the day kids.  Tune in next week for the Vaniers and the Hays House people of the Grove.

so on my lunch break today i ventured out to which wich since its open now.  being one of the first 50 customers(43rd) to try this fine new establishment i felt it was my duty to give you guys a full breakdown of how it was.

first of all i was greeted by this very nice young lady when i entered the store, and she explained to me the concept and what i needed to do to make my wich. +1

they have like 10ish different categories of wich that you can choose from and each category has like 5 different wiches on them. +1

you grab a brown paper sack from the category you choose then mark down what you want on your wich with a cool sweet looking red sharpie. +1

you then hand them your brown paper bag and pay and they get to working on creating your awesome wich. +1

then when you get it back you experience the awesomeness that is which wich, i really enjoyed the wich that i got and will definitely be back to try different wiches +1

so after my trip to which wich as i chronicled above i wish it was closer to town but the food was awesome and ill probably venture out there again for another wich

also, you can draw on the bags and then pin them up on this wall thing they have bonus +1 5/5 6/5

What's going up next to R-A-B?  Looks like it's got a rooftop deck going on.

I saw that last week, it almost looks like it has a DJamer booth thing over the dance floor

dancing ganesha  :flush:

explain.
Food wasn't good. Service sucked.
What did you order? Also, keep in mind you went on the busiest day they've ever experienced.
They didn't give us the option to order anything, buffet was the only thing you could do. There were only 2 other parties there at 12:45 on Saturday.

Had a little of everything. Everything was pretty bland and i'm pretty sure they don't have a tandoori oven.

I've heard the buffet isn't good.

I went a few weeks ago for dinner. I was pleased with every dish ordered.

The service quality was good, but all the staff seemed to be waiting in line for one POS system and it was slow as crap.

Will return.

Had the good fortune of being in MHK for a little bit over the break.

Can confirm that Dancing Ganesha is just okay, but I am still thrilled that it exists. And to be fair, we had to order a lot of the food "mild" to appease some in our party.

Bourbon & Baker was good, but didn't knock my socks off like I was hoping.

Didn't make it back to La Hac.  :frown:

All of the liquor stores in town that aren't terrible already have extensive craft beer sections and they almost all have more square footage so they have room to keep the domestics staples and have room for lots of craft beers.  Same thing with wine.

Arlen's on my first inspection has a solid craft beer selection, but it is not significantly better than most any where else.  There wine selection is heavy on expensive domestic blends with kitschy names and in the $12-$20 range. 

They have a couple of additional champagnes that only Classic or Nespors might carry but they have very little California sparkling, prosecco or cava selections.

I wasn't looking for a red, but I'd imagine the same problems.

Over the holidays, I bought my parents a gift certificate at the bakehouse and then walked in the cheese shop to try to buy some cheeses for them.  But it was a liquor store, not a cheese shop.  Confusing.

is the food very, very good? yes, it's fantastic.
is the wait for it very, very long? yes, it's something else.
does the ambiance need some work? yes, a lot. no music, very quiet for 90% of the time except for when the waitress (her first day!) would walk over to the laptop and hit play on some zydeco.
do they have have decks of cards at the table to play and paper to keep score? yes but i would byod because non of ours were complete. two different decks.
do they have a liquor license? nope. hope they get one or allow you to byo.
am i rooting for this place and will i go back? yes. absolutely.
do i think they'll make it? probably not, which is sad.

http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=3245.msg53509#msg53509 (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=3245.msg53509#msg53509)

i clicked but then closed without reading. i do not want a five year old kk opinion to skew my review.
It's a pretty fun read. Illustrates pretty well how MHk's food scene has gotten a thousand times better in such a short period of time.

False. The mushroom alfredo at Aggie Station is better than anything at either Olive Garden or Noodles and Co. and it's not even close. I think Aggie Station also has their carbonara on the menu now too.

had it this weekend. decent americanized italian food. i had the tour of italy (lasagna, chicken parm, fett alfredo) because sometimes i can't avoid being a white midwesterner. the alfredo was very very good!

I've heard the 3 bar rumor too. Each bar will have 12-16 different taps. Half will be Tallgrass and the other half will be other micros.

yeah, IF we have any tallgrass insiders on this board I would suggest to them that they send the word to maybe see what works and then cut that thing down by, like, 70%. the food portion of the menu should be on a single page in a single column. I want this place to work more than anyone that doesn't live in MHK or have money invested in it so I suggest this is good faith.

I haven't been on this blog much lately so I was not able to share this tidbit until now, which is that Brockette will be working at Tallgrass Taphouse this summer.  I already informed her that she may be expected to provide some insidery scoops if asked.  Regarding the menu size, about a week ago I was asking her what the menu was like and what was on it and she rattled off a whole bunch of items and I was like "Wow, that sounds like a big menu."  She said management has discussed the possibility of paring the menu down after a while.  Not a restaurant insider by any means but this is not uncommon for new places to tweak their menu while trying to figure out what their identity/theme will be.  Also she said management changes their minds on stuff frequently so who knows, maybe they'll add more menu items.

Is the Taphouse building big enough for 3 bars? I'm not sure what to think of the roof yet. Barn red corrugated siding seems alitle out of place.

ate at taphouse the other day. big. v, v, nicely done. kind of genericky. mulitiple different areas so even if it isn't pack you can stuff everyone into one area and it seems crowded/fun.

honestly it's like they toured free state and said let's do this, but let's make it nicer and with a more sterile and uninteresting feel.

Eating at Pigins. Not impressed at all. Didn't have what I wanted. Ran out of a few different sides while eating there. Brisket was dry. Mac and cheese not cheesy enough.

Warning:  The following review is full of snarky and judgmental opinions.  The statements and comments made by KTP do reflect his views and all complaints should be forwarded to [email protected].  Thank you and enjoy.

Today was a day like no other.  On this blistering spring day, I decided that I wanted to go out to eat my lunch.  I needed something quick, but wasn’t in the mood for fast food.  I couldn’t really decide exactly what I wanted and I was becoming frustrated.  And then it hit me, Sirloin Stockade.   It seems simple enough right, it’s quick, cheap and I could eat until my heart clogged with chicken fat. How could this be the wrong decision.  Well trust me folks, it wasn’t the wrong decision.  So much was good about Sirloin Stockade, or Dinner & A Show, as I call it.

I’ll start with the food.  It was exactly what you would expect.  Terrible, and I was okay with that.  Okay, enough about the food, it is time to move on to the good stuff. 

Sirloin Stockade at 12:37 on a Monday in June is a petri dish of human experimentation. I found that there were several categories of people, and within those categories, several sub categories. I don’t have time to go though each one, but I’ll do my best to hit the important groups.

First we have the elderly.  The group was by far the best represented when it comes to numbers. As my eyes darted from table to table I was constantly berated by short white hair, and canes.  I’m not complaining, this group was nice and easy to maneuver around.  For instance, at one point a little old lady and I locked eyes when there was only one savory butter roll left.  It was clear what we both wanted, but only one of us had the speed and agility to obtain our goal.  That roll was damn delicious.  The interesting part about the grey group, is that they weren’t in small sub groups.  Instead, they sat at tables of 6 or more.  Very rarely did you find a few loaners.  This and the lack of Buicks in the parking lot lead me to believe that it might have been a retirement home retreat.

The next category is that of the blue collar worker.  These are good Americans.  Joe the Plumber types.  The guys and gals are working hard, and doing a damn good job.  The shouldn’t be made fun of, so I simply won’t do it.  They sat at their tables, dripping sweat and enjoying their fish filets.  This group was very easy to identify because at each table, at least one person had a cut off t-shirt sleeve tied around their head. 

The next group that caught my eyes were the waitresses.  These forty somethings hated me from the moment I choose to eat at the Stockade.  They walked though the restaurant cleaning up spilled mac & cheese and  counting the moments until they could climb into their cars and go home and see their families.  My server came up to me with dead eyes and a sad soul and kindly refilled my ice water.  I left her $4 because I think she had a kind heart and was the kind of person who wouldn’t spit in my drink when I wasn’t looking.

I’ve saved the best for last.  Seriously guys, it’s about to go down as hard as if Ke$ha and Pitbull were running this.  The last group was without a doubt my favorite.  This group was very easy to identify.  This group is the kind of people who believe shopping for lingerie anywhere but Walmart is a waste.  This group believes that children don’t need to brush their baby teeth, because they’re just going to lose them anyway.  I’m talking about 2 year olds running around The Kade in nothing but a diaper.  I’m talking about a child who is 3+ screaming and throwing himself on the floor because he wanted more ice cream. And instead of his mom doing anything, she simply walked away and left him for the wait staff to tend to   Most of these people did not seem in a hurry to get back to their jobs.  They enjoyed their lunch at a leisurely rate.  And piled their plates so full, I almost wondered if they realized that they could return to fill a new plate as many times as they wish.  These are my heroes.  I want to live this life.

In conclusion, I don’t know if I’ll ever go anywhere else to eat in MHK on a Monday for lunch. I can’t think of anyway possible to top that experience.  Have a great day.

-they are always out of their taphouse beers. boo.
-poutine is great
-chorizo crab dip is great, but they gave us the chip shards from the ass of the chip bag
-taphouse burger is excellent, fries are excellent
-fish n chips not very good. good fish chunks within but the crust is way too thick and doughy like a donut. also has like cinnamon and allspice in it or something. wasnt into it. good tartar sauce tho
-pizza not very good to me. good size, price and great authentico crust, but horrible sauce. very sweet and bland.
-midwest paella very good with a very good steak on it BUT it was not paella. very saucy and tomato-y. maybe i would let them call it a risotto.
-they have a seating system that txts you your remaining time and when your table is ready. this is nice because you can wander poyntz or go to finns or something while you wait
-mac cheese. not a big fan. the elbow noodles and cheese sauce didnt seem restaurant worthy.

In regards to availability of their house beers... Keep in mind that they've only been open for a month and it takes approx a month to brew beer. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

The Konza is my favorite :lick:

the "puni challenge"

waiters just clear off uneaten food scraps from people's plates and toss it all into a firkin and let it hang out until the gravity get to where it's needed (currently unknown variable)

if a four-person team can finish off the firkin in an hour, get a t-shirt or something?

i am ready for you guys to give me more reviews of piggins

Not bad, not great right now.  Had a bit of a talk with the owner.  They were looking more for catering space and this opportunity presented itself.  Beef brisket was a bit tough for my preference.  Sides were pretty good.  Big problem he mentioned was having to pull their various fowl off the menu because people associated it with the bird flu stuff going around, although he assured his meat was good (local supply out of NE I think).  Still working out some kinks in supply and demand because when I went it they were still getting picked over really well and out of interesting stuff.  Price were reasonable, wait staff was pretty good, interesting bar area.  Its worth the stop by if you're looking for something different/local/nonchain.

sounds like a planning issue. i have never gone to a "bbq" place and ordered chicken. people want the pork, ribs, and brisket. i wonder how many lbs of chicken oklahoma joes (or cox) threw out due to the bird flu?
Title: Re: have these new mhk eateries been discussed yet?
Post by: ednksu on July 16, 2015, 04:51:55 PM
Well I think you should work in the restaurant business before making all these assumptions because it does effect your business.  What the public thinks is not logical when it comes to food supply.

And I regularly get chicken or turkey at bbq places because its a healthier option (to a greatly diminished degree once you sauce it) than red meats or pork. 

But on point, it's a place to try for yourself.

I've been in a similar position and I don't think you should criticize people without some background.  Manhattan is tough restaurant environment to nail down at times.  It's even harder when you do an opening to gauge demand.  I'm not trying to fight with you, just suggesting to cut the guy some slack.  The public is fickle and poorly informed at times which makes business a lot harder.  I mean if we assume the public is well informed, why does Seattle have a lower vaccination rate for Polio than Rwanda?

one point is that there has been a bird flu outbreak for the entire time he has been open. i dont hold inaccurately predicting demand against him, but i want him to be successful and i think he will be more successful if he has a realistic understanding of his problem instead of searching for excuses and blaming his fickle, poorly informed customer base.

Is that right, choo?  I guess I shouldn't doubt you, given all the time you spend sniffing dairy air (<----French joke alert)

Actually, cheese is not mold.  Cheese is proteins and milk fat. Most cheeses do not contain any mold, and those that do are <10% mold. doo Doo doo DOO

Not at all.  I generally don't eat at chains but a decent pizza there makes for a good evening meal.  I wasn't comparing the food between the two places, just a basic statement about enjoying a meal. Old Chicago is a great after golf place to grab a bite.

tallgrass will be cool. good restaurant for manhattan, ya know?

I went Saturday night.  It was pretty good.  I'd go back.

me too! 7-8:30ish :users:

wasn't super hungry so got some stuffed avocado thing w/ quinoa, goat cheese, beets, etc that was actually prolly the best thing i've had from there (not super excited about their food)

I was there about 9:30-11:00(ish).  Had the mac and cheese with steak, bacon, and potatoes.  I was satisfied.

I had Coco Bolo's for lunch, so anything after that is kind of a let down.

It's a good burger, probably like one of the top 15 burger places I've eaten at and I've eaten at a lot of burger places.  Probably more than anyone here even. 

The max time I would wait in line though is 7 minutes and the fries do suck even with the cajun seasoning.

5 Guys is great.   The cheese is like crack to me.

Fries are good if you get cajun, otherwise kind of bland.

I go by myself, with both headphones in, and listening to podcasts or music.  It is pretty relaxing if you do it right.  Don't take them out except to tell the meat counter what you need.  It's pretty great.

It's free for $100+.

They absolutely are trying to get a grocery store and a parking garage built on the west end of aggieville.  It is very dumb unless that drives demand to the point where aggieville finally gets more dense, but I don't believe that will happen.

kansas liquor laws alone would keep trader joes from going into mhk. varneys might close but it won't be replaced with a trader f'ing joes or any grocery store for that matter. parking, you effing idiots.
it didn't stop them from opening in leawood, they just don't sell booze.  not everything is about the booze,   (http://emojipedia-us.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/da/16/da167dcdf108f543b53402110802e574.png)

went to this new hot poa that opened up in west mhk earlier this week. It's over by Mr k's and it's called old chicago. Fantastic beer menu and to die for pepperoni rolls. Not sure who owns but it should do well.

Went there a couple of weeks ago. It is an upgrade over the old Old Chicago. Better TV arrangement and lots of natural lighting.

The bartender mentioned that the old location would be vacant for a while. OC's lease with MTC goes thru the end of the year. With the new movie theater going in it will be interesting to see what takes its place in such a prime location.

I think it is very much on some people's minds. Trouble is location (obvs).  It's just weird to suggest the death of varneys is going to lead to a store there.  Seems like people are conflating two possibilities.

here's some more deets on that meatloaf sandy:

sliced: very thin. less than 1/2 inch. the meatloaf slice was thinner than either slice of bread. what a joke. the meatloaf thickness needs to be at least equal to the total bread thickness, ideally double.

dryness: this meatloaf was dry as eff. i like my meatloaf dripping moist.

flavor: the only flavors i could detect past the dryness were fennel and rye. rye from the very rye bread. shitloads of fennel in the meatloaf.

the only way i could safely consume this meatloaf sandwich without it fusing permanently to my tongue was totally soak each bite in honey mustard sauce.

slice off a 3.00" thick cross section of that bad boy.

place between two 0.75" thick slices of butter toasted sourdough.

top with grilled onions, claussen dill chips, fatty slice of cheddar cheese and then pour about a cup of that special rosemary gravy over the whole thing

Where should mom and I grab a quick bite to eat before tailgating tomorrow? Prefer booze and little to no wait time.  Has Aggie Station gone so far downhill that I could get a table easily around 11?

I wouldn't even really call wahoo a seafood place. they started out seafood and expensive steaks, etc hence "wahoo fire and ice" but somewhat quickly realized they were still in aggieville and dumbed down their menu/prices. like kk said, it's p good.

We had the crab Rangoon dip and it was pretty good, also had the bacon covered shrimp that had some kind of cream cheese in it. Pretty awesome! M. Beasley's bro was there too.

Ok, so it's not THAT funny, but it's always the first thing I think of when someone mentions COK.

No. And after thinking about it, her request of COK for chicken strips isn't really a credit to COK's quality of strips as much as it is an indictment of Chili's, Applebee's, etc.

Ended up skipping downtown and eating at Ganesha. It was better than the last time I went, but it's still not elite. Very, very happy that MHK has food from the subcontinent that isn't based out of the old Days Inn basement, though. (RIP, Mt. Everest Restaurant or whatever you were called.)

I was hoping to go on an elite double date with KK and Mrs. KK, but that didn't work out. Had to settle for a GE low-medium and his non-low-medium wife instead.

Yeah they are full on restaurant already. Didn't know about the new owner part though. That's a bummer because the previous one seemed v nice.

Ate at La Hac, too. I was sad to see that the Mexican cowboy boots were no longer available. Other than the kitchen hilariously botching my companion's order, the food was still v. good. Will return x1000.

like a month ago i was in there and we ordered an appetizer + entrees, waited a while and went "meh, guess they forgot the app", then they bring out entrees, and then later comes the appetizer.  "next time you should let us know if you want the appetizer out early".

IDK. Maybe they were having a bad day or something. I have a buddy who's a bartender at the quaff and raves about them. So i'm like, ok, maybe something was off that day. I've been in groups before where they'd wanna go there and I'd get annoyed with how slow they were and told them to meet me at bar louie when they were done. Great question tho.

This is a great point. I tried something different last night on my pizza and it was disappointing so not only was I not satisfied (when my usual is one of the all time greats) but I also wasted like $30 on the disappointment and was questioning why I ever try anything new.

Downtown has had some, but not as much as you might think.  More importantly, it's a totally different business venture between the two. *I should have said commercial et al space or something to include restaurants*

fantastic was too strong of a word, but i'll definitely start working it into the mix and think it's probably worth you trying again. I guess you'd have to put it up against places like powercat grill and maybe tanners for fair comparisons and what I had was better than what you'd get at either of those.

Well obviously no one is going to give a parking ticket to a police car so that makes sense for you.

Civilians have the option to park in one of the four meter spots, roll the dice that parking services won't give you a ticket, or park in someone's driveway on Jarvis.

station is auctioning off all their tables, chairs, bar stuff, kitchen stuff online this week.

also, hibachi hut food etc isn't terrible or anything but eff if I want to ever eat there again because of the ridiculous understaffing. every single time I've been, there's like one bartender and two waitresses and a ten minute wait to get my drink order and then another fifteen to actually get the first drink. every. single. time. absolutely absurd.

Service was pretty slow Wed. night. thankfully it wasn't too busy at the time.

The owner recommended the Hirachas and Gorditas to me the next time I'm in town.

Always thought Kathouse was super out of place.  Had no idea Wabash closed, but can't say I'm surprised.

Happy for AJ's.  I think it's great, but it's aggieville location space was a bit funky.  Last time I was there I saw someone hop over the bar (no one was tending -- it was after hours) and steal a bottle of liquor and run out the door.  None of the workers even noticed.  It was shocking to me.

Bingo!

Some perspective as to the possible source of all these government jobs...

Upcoming/ongoing campus construction projects:

Student Union renovation: $25 million. 
Durland Hall expansion $30 million. 
New College of Business Building $50 million.

NBAF http://www.k-state.edu/nbaf/
$1.25 BILLION.  The facility is a biosafety level-4 laboratory and will replace the aging Plum Island Animal Disease Center in New York. NBAF is expected to be operational by 2022-2023.

That $1.25 BILLION is largely from federal taxpayers. The State of Kansas is providing $307 million, and the City of Manhattan is providing $5 million towards the total acquisition cost inclusive of planning, design, construction and commissioning of the $1.25 billion facility. The central utility plant (CUP) will was completed in October 2015. The $80 million CUP, which houses the boilers, chillers, emergency diesel generators, and other support elements for the main laboratory facility, was funded with $40 million in federal appropriations and $40 million in gift funding from the State of Kansas.

Probably why we're getting a Popeye's.

the taphouse has about a 6-8 too many, imo, to ensure that they are always pouring quality beers. the tap selection should be small but varied, there's only a few places here in town that manage their selection appropriately, imo.

Mae's handles their selection the best, which is one of the reasons you see all of the big guys launching in our territory right now picking them for their tap takeover launch events. The team there actually cares about the experience that their patrons are taking in, which is a HUGE part of it.

Places like Tanner's, Kaws, and Kites, I usually try to avoid ordering draft, unless I'm going to be pounding domestics. They have too many handles for the amount of patrons and tastes of their patrons that drink there. Plus, the only time lines get cleaned at a place like that, are when distributors can take the time to come in and do it for them.

your "even though" clause opens your statement up to lead the reader to believe that red hook "sold out" to budweiser. most people unfamiliar with the beer industry are not keen to the workings of the three-tier (sometimes four) system. the only way for most breweries to gain distribution rights in a territory are to partner with a tied-distributor. these distributors aren't owned by budweiser or miller-coors, just heavily, heavily influenced, so, yea, even if your statement was not "incomplete" it can absolutely be construed as misleading.

I know that you know this information, but many of the people reading this thread might not.

FTR, IN-Bev does own over 25% of the actual brewery (Red Hook) at this point in time, which you have mentioned.

I felt pretty mislead by 'clams only mentioning distribution two times.  From now on, when talking about beer, please post the current owner of the brand and the distributor as well the ownership history if the beer has changed hands in the last 20 years.

and those kegs weren't "old", nespors was just bleeding from their ass.  redhook was one of the first breweries to date label their beer.

I felt pretty mislead by 'clams only mentioning distribution two times.  From now on, when talking about beer, please post the current owner of the brand and the distributor as well the ownership history if the beer has changed hands in the last 20 years.

This will allow more clarity and really improve the thread.

Honestly nobody cares about you, at all.  Sorry you don't live in MHK anymore but not everyone can be here. 

The legit restaurants here are all locally owned, so idk what your deal is.  Popeyes is cool because we had 0 chicken places for years, and we finally have some again.

Any new suggestions for me, just go with the Kite burger? Popeye's open yet?

That is a lot of year olds, what are you in the daycare industry or something?

Well, Hibatchi Hut is back baby.

Bud, Bobby and the old menu with actual cooking is back.

Real John's spicy shrimp is on the menu (was not on the tasting menu for the cold open I went to).

The new sig cocks were OK, they have a Hurricane with Pat O'Brien's mix which is insanely sweet, but the Sazerac was pretty well made with what I was assured was absinthe (although I did not see the construction).

They have a bunch of mules on the drink menu, including Kentucky mules which others said were good.  They upgraded the selections on tap, but I don't think they had any Tallgrass which was weird.  They did have some Abita.

I had the gumbo, which was as good as it ever was, the cornbread was back to where it should be, the Jambalya was ok, the redfish was excellent, the red beans and rice was good.

I am thinking this place will get back to where it needs to be under the new ownership group.  No more service nightmares and the menu looks massively improved.  You can order peel and eat shrimp, they have the tots back on the menu, the have the Gaucho back on the menu.  The big bayou pic is in the back and it felt not quite like the old version, but like a version that will survive and be solid.

VERDICT:  THE HUT IS BACK BABY

and that's your *hot tott* tip of the day

I've been to your place Clams. Mrs Wacky and I both really enjoy bagels a lot. It was like $5-6 a bagel and I wasn't a fan of their jalapeno cream cheese, but it was still good. It started out as a nice gesture, so these peasants can eat the Panera bagels and I won't have to drop them off a $50-60 breakfast every Friday. Win-win.

Dave Dreiling Wow!!! Thanks everyone for so much passion and feedback!!!
In my opinion, of all the great legacy restaurants in MHK, Hibachi Hut is at the top of the list.
When I bought HH last fall, step one was bringing Bud and Bob Cox back in with their original recipes that they used to create the Creole menu that they put in place in the 90's in Aggieville. They nailed it, and we now have the original food and great service, but on a daily basis, people walk in and walk out, expecting hibachi style oriental food. It's our love and passion for HH that's driving the desire to invest even more $$ into the long term play of getting the name right versus just closing the place. Help us save it!

What resource are these hordes of Manhattan visitors using with which they're given a list of restaurant names and no other descriptors, leading to disappointing experiences at what they thought was an Asian restaurant?

Or is the perceived issue that there are hordes of Manhattan visitors dying for cajun food, but they just can't figure out where to find it by looking at that same list of restaurants (names only)?

That's the building that is just to the east of bluestem, which was always a coffee shop, well from 96 at least. KJ's was in the space that became "Chance, the other side," now Keltic Star, after KJ's closed. KJ's and Lucky's were my homes away from home.

I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread but its so depressing to go to la hacienda nowadays compared to what it use to be. they should've kept it the way it was instead of the sit down restaurant they've turned it into

I was never there pre-sit down, but I agree it's a depressing place.   And the white girl server is the worst....

Not open for lunch though. Food is about as good as it was at 4 Olives but w/ half the price point. Have had several things but so far my favorites are probably the wild boar ragu, scallops and shishito peppers.

I finally tried Cowboy Chicken tonight. I got the Laredo with double mashed taters and it was really good. For how much it was pretty small portions tho. I also had a bite of the enchiladas and they were ok, not nearly as good as what I got. Will definitely go back and try other things.

4 olives died a different death and I wouldn't say that it even died. meanwhile, hibachi died in aggieville before dt brought it back to life, so it seems like it just is incapable of living. that new dtmhk heart at least lasted a few years though. that had to be nice for the old sob. got to see the grandkids play and open some Christmas presents, etc.

More likely there are a limited number of customers in MHK (at least a limited number that will seek out local dining rather than the chains all over Tuttle Creek BLVD). Dancing Ganesha was kind of a disaster. There's a sign on their door that says they are closed for Spring Break and will open on 6/3. Was decent Indian food but again, not enough people in Manhattan, KS that want Indian food.

El Patron is owned by the same people that own Gordo's in Aggieville. Who are related to the people that own El Tapatio in Manhattan and Junction City.

awful news. Was gonna post his in the old La Hacienda thread from when that place was the official eatery of gE, but couldn't find it. BTW there are some strange quotes in this article.

http://themercury.com/news/city/la-hacienda-golden-wok-won-t-reopen-after-flood/article_fa461387-26b2-5dd6-a744-7a414d5279c8.html

Quote
La Hacienda, Golden Wok won't reopen after flood

La Hacienda Taqueria and Golden Wok China Buffet are closing for good because of Monday’s flood, which displaced 300 people.

Manhattan resident Chuck Henderson told the Manhattan City Commission on Tuesday that he spoke with the owners of the restaurants in the Plaza West shopping center.

“I spoke to the Chinese couple,” Henderson said. “They’re retiring. They lost everything. They’re not even going to attempt to reopen another location.”

La Hacienda confirmed Henderson’s statement to the Mercury on Wednesday morning, attributing the closing to the company’s insurance not covering flood losses. Owners of Golden Wok could not be reached for comment.

Shannon Lewis, who owns Debonaire’s Haircuts near those restaurants, said his barbershop had six feet of water. He said he’s looking for a new place to cut hair.

“I encourage y’all to consider the lives of other people,” he said. “Some people won’t recover. I can still go cut hair somewhere else.”

Powercat Sports Grill, Goblin Games, Via Christi Therapy Center and Legends, which are also in the Plaza West shopping center, indicated on their Facebook pages that they would remain closed until they could assess the damage.

Genesis Health Clubs reopened its weight room on Wednesday after more than 60 employees, volunteers and disaster restoration workers cleaned the facility.

“Much of the cardio equipment was damaged or destroyed during the flooding,” a Genesis press release said. “We are bringing in nearly $1 million worth of new equipment on Friday and Saturday to replace what was lost.”

Residents took the opportunity during the public comment period to address what they felt was a lack of previous action by the city.

Samantha Rose said the city should be responsible for appropriate residential areas for people to live without fear of flooding.

“We certainly should not have people owning businesses or living in situations where flooding can occur with devastating damages,” Rose said. “I know several people who lived in Redbud Estates where their homes are completely destroyed.”

Henderson said development within the Wildcat Creek watershed and inadequate drainage has led to these floods. Overflow from Wildcat Creek caused similar floods in 2007, 2010 and 2011.

“What we have is a failure to collaborate with a known problem that was created by people,” he said. “Not God. Not the random weather patterns. To have three floods doing this kind of damage in just eight years time is just a colossal failure of bureaucratic agencies and officials.”

Charly Pottorff, who owns Wildcat Tree Service at 3761 Cumberland Road, said he bought the property in 2009 and got affected by the previous floods in 2010 and 2011. He said Monday’s flood was worse than the previous years, producing five-and-a-half feet of water on the property.

Pottorff said he understands that development in the city represents progress.

“But we need to take a better look and have more respect for the environment,” he said. “I can tell you right now that the environment is going to win in the end. It damn sure will win in the end.”

Ah yes the trailer park residents are not victims, but rather are to blame.

These floods are every 3-4 years now and they are getting bigger. It is the direct result of development on higher ground and the residents (largely poor or military) that are being affected are without much recourse because they have been hoodwinked by landlords or real estate agents that know better. I don’t know enough about flood insurance but are the homes near wildcat creek even insurable at this point?

A tenant doesn't buy flood insurance, they (should) buy contents coverage. The property owner would buy flood insurance, which the lender would require if the home is in a flood plain.

I don’t know enough about flood insurance but are the homes near wildcat creek even insurable at this point?

A tenant doesn't buy flood insurance, they (should) buy contents coverage. The property owner would buy flood insurance, which the lender would require if the home is in a flood plain.

Does a renter's policy cover flood damage?  I genuinely don't know.  Some places now require renter's insurance as part of their contract (MDI does, I think Highland Ridge did) but not sure that makes a difference.

Has anyone tried that MamaDeaux's where 4 Olives used to be? I think it avoided the flood.

Renter's insurance only covers domestic water flooding (pipe bursts, leaks, etc.) not natural disasters. You can insure your stuff for natural flood but it costs more.

Most of the people renting or even owning had no idea that they were located in an area that floods and has been getting progressively worse. There should be some sort of mandatory notification espesh for renters by the landlord at a minimum. There were a couple of those apartments that the landlords didn't even rent the first floor because of the known flooding issues.

The other issue is that you have the development in the City and most of the Wildcat Creek watershed is County jurisdiction.

I heard there’s a new place called Bluestem Grill in the new KSU office park building on Kimball. Anyone been there? Is it even open yet?

I guess I never reviewed this, I'm sure people have eaten there since. I liked it, was a little different menu but was good. They have a nice patio and fire place thing, talking with the owner they said they are gonna put up a wall/barrier for the sun.

So I'm a HUGE fan of calzones. When I lived in KC I hit up Minsky's all the time(Prime Cut Calzone FTW). I don't live in Aggieville anymore, but I've known about Calios since they opened. I just ordered a couple for delivery so will report on it. Has anyone had it before, the google says it's a chain?

Most Calzones have a thick crust. When you eat the seam it’s all bread. This is very thin, all the way around, I don’t feel like I’m eating a loaf of bread with my toppings. I may need to re-evaluate my Calzone choices after this experience.

Recommend.

Goodness. The super(supreme pizza style) was my main course, but I got taco for tomorrow. Since the super was so good I had to try the taco. Guys....I had to force myself to stop eating. I corn cobbed a row and forced myself to put it down.

Wow. I probably single handedly kept Jimmy John’s open a decade ago, I may keep Calios open in the same way.

Didn't realize it had been discussed but Bluestem Grill is really unique and fun. I can kind of see it being a love it or hate it thing, but anyone who isn't an old boring hag will probably be more on the "love" it side.

I’m a fan of high quality food and Calios checks the boxes. I’m talking about good ingredients and handmade quality food. And, just because it’s hand crafted doesn’t mean it should take a long time…5 minutes to be exact.

It opened yesterday. Menu follows the Chipotle model. You can either get a wrap or a bowl, then you pick your rice, your protein and your sauce.

The chutney was good, had the lamb vindaloo and it was good.  At first I thought that the wrap would not be enough food, but the lamb hit me hard when I left.  The white guy that served it up had a hilarious southern accent that really added something to the meal.  Overall better than most fast food and most fast casual except Chipotle.  I think it will go out of business soon though.

How was it KK?

They had the Valentine's menu still so it was kind of limited because it was set up as a prix fixe menu but you could order entrees off of it. A couple things were "for two."  We ended up getting the amuse bouche which was a mozzorella/tomato/basil thing which was ok. Then my wife has the meatball pasta (kind of a bolognese, but with one huge meatball) that was pretty good, I got the cornish hen which was simple, but good.

Cocktails were good, I let the bartender make me some other whisky drink instead of the sazerac and it was fine.  wife had a gin martini that was fine.

Overall, I think I will go back because it has settled in as a value end of the "fine dining" in MHK.  We couldn't get reservations at Harry's day of, we didn't want to wait at B&B and the last time I went to Wine Dive the duck dish I ordered was flat out bad.

It doesn't have the wine list of Wine Dive or Harry's, its cocktails aren't as good as other places I would go for just drinks (Pool House is so great!) so I think it is now in the mix, but I would only go there for dinner.

Quote
MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) — It may be freezing cold outside, but that's not stopping folks in Manhattan from getting excited that a beloved ice cream parlor's coming to town.

When Andrea Vandever replied to a City of Manhattan tweet asking what people would like to see most in the Little Apple by requesting a "braums, braums and about 10 more braums," she apparently didn't know the City was about to make her day.

They told her Braums is building a new location at Scenic Dr. and Anderson Ave., at the western edge of town. After Vandever confirmed they weren't pulling her leg and it was legit, she tweeted, "i'm crying. you made me so happy. i'm never leaving. ily"

Now, the City didn't say when the new Braums was opening. But with temperatures expected to be so cold this weekend that ice cream would probably warm you up, they probably have a little time before people are thinking it's ice cream weather.

Now, the City just needs 11 more to make Vandever's dream really come true (they did say money was no object).

When Andrea Vandever replied to a City of Manhattan tweet asking what people would like to see most in the Little Apple by requesting a "braums, braums and about 10 more braums," she apparently didn't know the City was about to make her day.

They told her Braums is building a new location at Scenic Dr. and Anderson Ave., at the western edge of town. After Vandever confirmed they weren't pulling her leg and it was legit, she tweeted, "i'm crying. you made me so happy. i'm never leaving. ily"

Now, the City didn't say when the new Braums was opening. But with temperatures expected to be so cold this weekend that ice cream would probably warm you up, they probably have a little time before people are thinking it's ice cream weather.

Now, the City just needs 11 more to make Vandever's dream really come true (they did say money was no object).

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god, I might move back

A lot of my Braum's love is definitely rooted in my childhood. However, they do have a differentiator from other fast food chains. They process, package, and deliver all of their own milk, egg, and dairy products. They also produce most of the bakery items they sell. They are also one of the few, still existing chains that sell actual hard packed ice cream, not soft serve, not froyo, and certainly not incredibly overrated and overpriced marble slab ice cream. They do have soft serve and packaged froyo but they feature the hard stuff. They also have grocery in each store, all their own stuff. Their actual fast food, is good, not great.

By far the weirdest feature is seeing the elderly of Salina shuffling through the tiny aisles of the grocery while teenagers scarf down burgers and shakes in the dining area 5 feet away.  I don't see our retirees giving up Vista, but time will tell.

Mama Deauxs, formerly known as Cafe du Qvondayez (sp?) is BACK! and had a very typical experience today with my good friend rick daris.  We were watching the cats at GAMEDAY (best west side townie bar post-Bobby T's) and decided to go check it out. 

Was there an open sign? yes
Was the door open? yes
Were there multiple kids just hanging out watching crap on a tablet? yes
Were they open? no, not until 5pm

Would you like to check out the menu? yes
Are you guys working and trying to get a quick order in for lunch? *check watch and see it is 3pm* No.
Well it usually takes 15 min because we make everything from scratch and some items take longer.   Ok, no problem.
What would you like to order?  Shrimp Etouffee and Cajun Seawfood Gumbo.
Ok that will be 18 min, I can bring it down to the bar if you want.  We can come get it, no worries.

~30 min later we both had a wonderful meal. 

We both ordered a full size platter/meal and the Gumbo was like 3x the serving size as the Etouffee, no clue why.  Both were really, really good.

I will definitely be back, zero chance I dine in unless I bring a deck of cards and maybe shuttle over for cocktails from GAMEDAY (unclear if they will get their liquor license, looks like beer only for now).

If everyone pledges to go there 1x a week and get one other person to go 1x a week we might just keep this place open this time despite themselves.

I couldn't believe we couldn't get food almost anywhere in Aggieville last Saturday. Everywhere was packed and I had no idea Tubby's stopped serving food. We had to eat at rough ridin' Kites, because my lovely pregnant wife was about to lose her crap and needed something ASAP. Good for Aggieville, but sheesh.

It was a pretty lol experience for my guy kk and I. The lady took our order and gave it to the sixteen year old hanging out around the kitchen who then looked back at the lady and said “is this order for today?” With a puzzled look on her face and then a kind of half eye roll and shoulder shrug.

I've enjoyed it as well.  The seafood gumbo my wife got was great.  Their fried green tomatoes were also really good.  Definitely still some kinks that need worked out operationally over there but the food is legit.  Will be interested to try more of the menu.

They announced that there will be a Braums built on Anderson and scenic. Kind of a weird place but ok whatever. That intersection will just keep getting busier so maybe it makes sense. The latest I heard was that there is currently a snag because Braun’s wants to put something like six signs on each side of their building but mhk code doesn’t allow for that many. Sounds like neither side is really just dropping their stance and that they are maybe in negotiations over it or something. They have even started building it yet.

Yes I have! Yes it’s good. The Jamaican place in jc is even better though. True story. Also something called fat shack will be opening up in pita pit next month.

I believe you are referring to Negril Grill in JC. Fat Shack is going to be hilarious and fail miserably. Their veggie sandwich consists of fries, onion rings, and mozarella sticks. I'm sure TBT will love it because he loves Calios. Verdict on Gyroville = pretty good. It appears to be ran by the Dancing Ganesha/Suzette/Bombay Bites people but is also a franchise.

Well Celtic encompasses all of the British Isles. It was British/Irish Pub food - not a hard concept to wrap your head around. A lot of what I'm hearing is that it wasn't entirely a money issue as much as it was a owners were tired of working 80 hrs/week issue. I'm sure money had some to do with it because you don't just close a successful business out of nowhere.

They haven't updated anything in Aggieville (not even repairing the sidewalks) in over twenty years. There should have been a parking garage put in decades ago. They sold one of the biggest parking lots to a hotel company that has sat on the space for half a year now and are going to block off half of the major road (Bluemont) running by Aggieville for 1.5 years to build said hotel. It will likely force some businesses to close.

And to answer your second question...two nights a week doesn't cover the astronomical rents that these places pay. Honestly, Aggieville has been hurting since the 40% food sales law was eliminated.

I was there like a year ago. It was alright, didn’t get food or anything. The drinks were alright and it was a pretty chill environment. The seating and stuff reminded me of Kathouse in that it was hangout chill type stuff. I feel like this was a pretty shitty review so hopefully someone else has a better description of their visit.

Whirlwind of a weekend in MHK, ran into waks while at a 6/7 Saturday night at Mae's post-wedding, . 

Tried Pool House with KK on Saturday lunch and it was very enjoyable.  Nice sig cocks and a solid pretzel dog. 

Stepped into Wine Dive for Sunday brunch b/c we did not have time for The Chef's wait before the flight out.  Less than impressive, service was pretty bad, wife's coffee cup had lipstick stains, silverware was dirty.  On the plus side, my food was pretty good.

Had a delicious pickled egg at noted MHK eatery "The Aggieville Lounge."

Gyroville has its place. Not amazing but fills a void IMO. Fat Shack has been super busy so far. I can't imagine ever eating it during the day but its pretty good after a night of pak'ing and seems to be well managed. Will be interesting to see once the newness wears off. I don't think a place with that high of rent can survive on late night alone.

I always loved it for late night, but then they added a few things for a food menu and it's a great spot for lunch/afternoon hangin'.

Agree.  The food menu has improved a lot since opening.  Still pretty basic items but made interesting and done well.
IDK if I updated, ITT, but Kat Kid and I had a nice afternoon here in December. Good place, glad it is there.

I think the Golden Wok might have been the longest surviving business in that strip. In my lifetime there's been:

El Casadores (El Caz), Casa Agave, Los Cocos
La Hacienda
Marco Polos, Gilio's
Cafe du Qvondeyz
Golden Wok Buffet
Strouds, Valentinos, Time Out Corner (putt putt place)
Grizzly's
TW's, Porter's West, the Patio, Legend's

Am I forgetting anything in the last 30 years? How long was the vape shop there for?

Arroy Thai wasn't in the strip but I associate it with those others.

Guys, I want to talk about something that has been weighing on my mind for awhile now... and that something is Hillside Cafe. How has this place been open for as long as I can remember? Who goes to this place? Seriously. I've never met a single soul that has eaten there. Is this some secret that I just don't know about? What am I missing? I must know.

I’m very very sad about the Harry’s thing. Best actual restaurant in mhk by far. Like if someone from out of town is in for the weekend or whatever and you need to make sure they have a great meal and service and everything then you say go to Harry’s.

Also, Hillside cafe is fine. Just fine. Leave them alone. Also, their potato tacos are the tits and also a regular *”rick daris top twenty mhk menu item”*.

OMG I've thought about creating this thread but you can do the honors! Also, I disagree with your assessment on Harry's. I would not give them "by far" status (I think Wine Dive offers a comparable product at a fraction of the cost). Moreso I disagree about it being the number one suggestion...I would recommend Bourbon & Baker to a visiting out-of-towner. Most everyone has been to a fine-dining restaurant similar to Harry's. Bourbon & Baker is truly unique and nails just about everything they try to do. That's not to say that I am not saddened by Harry's closing. Maybe we should also have a thread for bygone MHK restaurants that we miss. Mine would include Hibachi Hut, Harry's Deli and Aggie Station for starters.

Yes but I do think Wine Dive has taken away a chunk of their business. I think Harry's priced themselves out of their market. Kind of ironic that the owners came to Manhattan to run Harry's and remain here but running two other restaurants.

I can't imagine the Harry's location not being turned into another fine dining spot. Possibly even with the same owners and managers. It might just be a great time for them to rebrand once they realized raising prices wasn't the best way to help revitalize their business.

This is pure speculation.

I lived above Harry's for a year. I remember:

1) An HVAC system that apparently moved cigarette smoke directly from a neighbor into my bathroom
2) Harry's scooting heavy ass chairs across the tile floor that reverberated through my walls at about 11pm every night
3) A garbage truck that emptied the dumpster every morning at exactly 7am and made sure to hit it extra hard multiple times with it upside down

overall it was pretty great though. If I lived there now I would have also lived at the Harry's bar

Their bar program was the weakest part of the restaurant IMO.

just opened on wednesday.. I was walking by a couple of weeks ago in the morning and was snooping through the window and they flagged me to come in. cool space, nice and friendly dudes. Think they'll do well if the beer is good.  I'm hoping it will be a little bit like tallgrass was when it was out on highway 24 with some things to do in the brewery

Great turnout so far. They have five beers available at the moment but they have 20 taps so I assume they anticipate having a lot more available. Their IPA is solid. The lemon saison is great. They also have a brut porter and an English strong ale (this was supposed to be more of a brown ale but the ABV ended up higher than they expected). They also have a peach wheat that they put on nitro which I don't care for as I don't care for wheats and really don't care for wheats on nitro. I've known these guys for years and have sampled a lot of beer they've brewed. It will be a solid place.

Unfortunately no but I think they have talked to the city about potentially getting a temporary easement for out front. You can order their crowlers online for contactless pick-up though or you can ask your good buddy waks to pick you some up when he's downtown next.

Yeah, I don't know if that means they use champagne yeast or what but it was a fine porter.

Agree about Manhattan Brewing.  All the beers I've tried are pretty good although I don't have anything that I absolutely love.  Just a few snack mixes on the menu but they allow food to be brought in/delivered.  I'm all for that, just wish there were a few more local restaurants condusive to takeout/delivery in the area for it.

Agree about Manhattan Brewing.  All the beers I've tried are pretty good although I don't have anything that I absolutely love.  Just a few snack mixes on the menu but they allow food to be brought in/delivered.  I'm all for that, just wish there were a few more local restaurants condusive to takeout/delivery in the area for it.
needs a little more atmosphere in there as well imo

The yard bar part was a joke. But for real, I've been to Chicken and Pickle several times and I do not get why people love it.

Didn't see that yoga-like_abana continued to die on the Chicken N Pickle hill. Woof.

Anway, it's time we discuss Frida's. Food truck (trailer?) on 3rd Street by Sonic. Fantastic. I've had just about the whole menu. Order the Tacos Roy w/ your preferred protein, take it over to Manhattan Brewing Co, order an Imposter Pils and relive the halycon days of La Hacienda bliss.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but....

Stopped into Tanner's on Saturday night, and shortly after closing time I started having fraudulent activity on the card (it was the only place I had used it and it was earlier in the evening). I've had this happen a few times through the years but I knew it was more random and I was ok with them just sending me a new card. But this one has me more interested.

Wells Fargo blocked every transaction and contacted me, but the person was trying to use it for online gift cards, and tried all 3 of doordash, grubhub, and postmates.

Anyone ever had something like this happen? Wells Fargo fraud says they'll investigate but I doubt they try THAT HARD.

It's good for the price. Basic red/white sauce joint. They have a 12oz filet for $30 that might be one of the better deals in town. Definitely not gourmet Italian but fills a void in this town.

Did Frida's for lunch.  Ridiculously good.  I did Carnitas and the wife did ground beef tortas.  I thought tortas would be pretty vanilla but the seasoning on the beef and flavor in the torta are great.  The carnitas were incredible and had the little bits of char crunch.

I am not saying Dave dreiling is a good person, I’m just asking what the arrangement was supposed to be and if that was somehow changed. I thought Dave basically bought them out and then paid them a consulting fee or whatever.

After more than two years in the works, a Braum’s ice cream store is coming to Manhattan.

The new location is set for Scenic Drive and Anderson Avenue, on the west side of Manhattan.

Construction is set to begin sometime in the late summer or early fall, according to a report on KMAN Radio.

Ha, I thought this would be neat and went to one in KC a long time ago. I was there pretty quick and realized how stupid it was. People were all standing around the taps and you had to get up and wait. I was like, man, I wish someone would walk around and notice when i'm about done with my beer and then would bring me a new one before I was done with this one and so I didn't have to do it all myself. Too bad I didn't act on the idea, I would have been rich.

I've had it several times. Generally pretty good. My favorite items are probably the bologna and chorizo, burger in a biscuit and risk it biscuit. Chicken nuggets and pork tacos are good too. It can be messy and overwhelming. The burger and bologna and the triple pig burger are simply too much food for instance.

LABCO is making the best food in town right now and I'm not sure it's even close. Their specials menu spans all types of cuisines and changes daily with like five small plates and five entrees each. That being said, I'm pretty meh on their regular menu.

I really like their patio and the service is usually good. The food is good enough to make it a nice place. I would still rather do rock a belly but most people like lucha better and with the outdoor waiting area it is nicer to wait at.

I will say that while I think Lucha's food is definitely overrated I almost never leave there unsatisfied with my meal. However both it and Rock-A-Belly (and So Long) are pretty damn expensive for what you get IMO.

Heh, I don't know if it's still the largest but they still have it. I don't believe it will be around much longer. I think they plan to do some renovations on the north side of the restaurant.
High end bar on that side. Also rally house will be going bye bye and is going to be a badass brewery
I heard the brewery is going to go where PieFive was. Hadn't heard RallyHouse was going anywhere.
Believe its going into a former pizza place just not this one ;)

Tacos de Aguila update. It is INSIDE the Eagles not just like a taco truck next to it. Came in in the middle of bingo and got a lot of dirty looks and my group got shushed by the bingo caller when we were talking/ordering. Snuck over to the eagles bar and signed the guest book and then ran in to my mom and her friends that were there.  Had two pastor tacos and they were good. The tortillas were different like thinner and softer than fridas.

Overall there were a lot of distracting factors that made this taco report difficult to focus on, Will try to return and try more.

Did a Taco Crawl last week that consisted of stops at Antojitos Del Sol, Frida's and Taqueria Aguila. Frida's is by the bar best and it's not really close. There's a new restaurant in Aggieville in the old Jeff's pizza location. Los Mariachis. A quick glance at their menu makes it look like a very generic Tex-Mex restaurant but they do offer street tacos so maybe there's hope for them yet.

Currently, the Aggieville location offers both the Kite’s Bar and Grill and the Aggieville Draft House. The Aggieville Draft House offers upscale food like meatloaf, chicken fried steak, steak specials and seafood options, while bar favorites are served at the Bar and Grill.

Mark has an ownership stake in HyVee, a fairly sizeable one, I believe. It started maybe 5 or 6 years ago when they started carrying his line of supplements. He was happy with the partnership and wanted more so he bought an ownership stake and started an agreement with Wahlburgers. They've been nearly all the in the HyVee's here since. He spends quite a bit of time in West Des Moines.

The Wahlburgs are royalty here in the states and you can't change my mind on the subject. Kings!

Also, they really need to redo their menu. It was hard to navigate. Lastly, if anyone knows the owners, tell them to put the big country on their menu for the lols.

Hyvee is basically a religion in Des Moines. Can't even mention other grocery stores to my in laws without getting a 10 minute lecture about Hyvee.

I don't know where you live, but here only Walmart is a cheaper grocery chain than Hy-Vee. I'm not advocating for them but, at least in Iowa, high prices aren't really an issue. Price Chopper legitimately has some of the same stuff for twice the price.

As YLA said, in MHK, Dillon's blows Hy-Vee out of the water on prices and has 2x fuel points on grocery purchases every day (4x on gift cards). Price is not the only thing we care about when shopping for groceries, but Hy-Vee is typically more expensive than Dillon's on the same items. There are a few things we consistently buy at Hy-Vee, but just a few. We don't shop at Wal-Mart nor at Aldi, but others have reported Hy-Vee is higher priced than them

Well, when you are shopping for more than one person you generally end up at different stores whether for prices, convenience, or available products. Not all stores sell the same crap at the same time.

At some point, I've bought a week's worth of groceries at one and a week's worth at another and notice one receipt tends to be higher :dunno:

Hyvee tends to a give back to the community a lot better than other grocery stores though - I've seen them fund a number of things around Manhattan

I forgot about Aldi but I don't really eff with them. No Dillons here, we have Fareway and they're expensive as hell and not open on Sunday. SD is right, Baker's in Omaha are like the really old, small town, shitty Dillons. Kroger must not think much of Omaha, Bakers is definitely the worst brand they have.

My wife and I put in a fair bit of effort in monitoring spending (not budgeting) and especially when it comes to groceries. We feed three adults and four kids (ages 5-12) and go out to eat an average of 4 times a month. We go through a side of beef and two hogs a year. We buy mostly organic and local foods. It takes a fair bit of money to do all that, so it is worth the time and effort to save.

i know the price of everything I put into my cart and also know if that price is low/high compared to other places.  i walk around the store and plan a lot of my meals based on what is on sale.  i keep a running tab in my head and know how much i’ve spent before i ring my crap up.  i also grew up in poverty with government assistance and have never gotten away from the mentality that buying groceries is/was a privilege.

My mom shops there quite a bit, but, we've never been impressed with the food there. There are also no fuel rewards which are worth 7%.

We also get a lot of stuff at Costco since we're in KC almost every weekend in the fall and spring for soccer.

We have gone from mostly Hen House (its right up the street) and Costco every other week to Costco every week and a bit at Hen House. I'm not sure if we just adjusted over time to what Costco has or if they just kept adding more and more groceries. I'm honestly not sure if we save any money going there, its just our standard grocery store now.  :dunno:

I've had it several times. Generally pretty good. My favorite items are probably the bologna and chorizo, burger in a biscuit and risk it biscuit. Chicken nuggets and pork tacos are good too. It can be messy and overwhelming. The burger and bologna and the triple pig burger are simply too much food for instance.

Trying it now. Got the Risk It Biscuit. Should be a funky adventure.

Yeah that’s a sad deal. I feel like I almost single handedly supported that place in the beginning when it was just the OG building and a shitty slab of concrete with a grill off to the side where he would sear the chicken.

Seems kind of mumped up you wouldn't reach out to your IRL friend waks to let him know you were in town but I did not enjoy my Spark's burger experience and have not heard of anyone that has. Not a great sign.

Also, it looks like there is a Korean restaurant in the HandiCorner minimall that I wasn’t aware of. This ends any need for me to enter Junction City again.

Ok sys need your opinion on if I hallucinated this—

In my neighborhood I saw a bobcat carrying a rabbit carcass back to the tree line down to a ravine. Was this a bobcat?

Face was bigger than a cats then I noticed its body was bigger than a cat then noticed the tail as it was running and came back to the front and saw it carrying the rabbit in its mouth.

Was this real?

Now I want to hear a travel points-style stupid fitz story about when something didn't go as planned in the kitchen.

One night I was on dish duty and it was busy AF. It was a nightmare. Just constantly hammering away at piles and piles of dishes. An even newer guy was training and barely helping me at all. He just kept disappearing. I just wanted out of there ASAP as I had something going on that night so I was just hammering away. I finally got to the end of the pile after it slowed down and the new dude was no where to be found for like the last hour. I go in the back and he and all of the cooks are getting high in back room. I went back and "finished up" and was like, I'm out of here. One of the cooks goes, "no you aren't", and started bringing over all of the gross pans and utensils and crap they had been using all night. Just another giant pile of even more gross dishes. I looked at the pile and then back at him and said, yeah, eff that crap and just left. I can't remember if I ever went back or if I went back for a few more days before I found another job.

The main menu is fairly meh but they do a better job with steaks than most.  The special menu is the best food in MHK.

I'd also assume that 80% of the staff is high 100% of the time.

The only possible PI-worthy thing here is that you stop at pleasantly buzzed rather than taking advantage of their fabulous drink specials and getting fully pak'd.

LABCO's special/daily updated menu is the best menu in Manhattan no matter the day.

You are remembering right and you're much younger than I thought. Houlihans wasn't even a thing until most of us were already olds.

I also went and did that cheap long island night thing while I was in school. I don't think they started it until my last couple of years tho and when I say we went I mean I went there maybe twice.

Tom, what can you tell me about Beef-a-roo? I had never heard of it until I saw the location under construction in MHK. The kids say it sounds like a place that might serve kangaroo meet but their menu looks promising.

Beer is good. Was underwhelmed by the food but I went during the soft opening so will probably get better with time.

Tried new Mexican restaurant in the old Gumby's/Doughboy's/Bi Bim Bap space. Was not impressed at all. Was pricey and did not get full from entree (which is insane to say about food at a Tex-Mex restaurant).

Haven't tried Parkside Station yet but it looks great and have heard good things.

Man, Gumby’s and Doughboy’s deserved better. In college I lived at 9th and Bluemont so that alley was a safe walk home. The pizza rolls at Doughboys :Wha: my god. They were incredible. That’s one of my truly favorite pizza places that should have made it big.

My in laws live out by Pott2 area but I usually take the back dirt road to get to them based off of where I live. I drove 24 this weekend though and it blew my mind how quickly that thing went up!

I would also like to present a gem of a little spot only really open Friday and Saturday evenings if you are ever up by the north part of Tuttle.
North County Restaurant & Lounge in Randolph is pretty good food, price and atmosphere.

Seriously, the stuff on their facebook page looks great. Kind of a void in that part of Riley County since the demise of Nelson's Landing.
