With all the recent discussion I am reminded that it is awards season here at goEMAW. Last year I typed up a People's Choice review of the Mercury's horrific taste in restaurants with a rebuttal. This year I'm just cutting to the chase and drawing up my own best of with some additional reviews mixed in.
The first category that we will break down this year is Aggieville restaurants!
Best Aggieville Restaurant: Rock-A-Belly Deli
It is a sentimental favorite. The patio, the drinks, the hummus, the sandwiches, the service.
Runner-Up: Taco Lucha
The up and comer. I don't care for their sig cocks, but they have consistently made tweaks to their menu that have improved it. The patio is the best in aggieville, the service is great, the bar staff is seasoned.
Show: Aggie Station/So Long
Yes, I cheated again. Do. Not. Care. These are the two best burgers in aggieville. I think So Long's Nancy's and raspberry bean dip (or their disgusting nacho cheese dip) are gross. I think Aggie Station needs to add something on the menu without 2000 calories of pork belly because even I have to draw the limit somewhere. These are nitpicky problems, but they should and could be fixed.
So Long: why don't you make a better salsa? Good grief just steal something off the Lucha menu. And how about making a legit wrap or burrito or something?
Station: You have a small menu. Fine. But does every rough ridin' thing need pork belly (bacon) on it? Is that like a rule?
Both: I'm being hard on you because I love.
What say you? Let's head to the phones. Open lines.

Rock-A-Belly is not that great.

Sorry caller we are up against a hard break but I have to disagree, Rock-A-Belly is highly regarded. I'm sorry. That is just the reality. Alright, we'll be right back.

I ate a Taco Lucha once thought it was very meh. Have never been disappointed with the food at Aggie Station.

Gooch from Wichita. Heh! I'm sorry. Danny, this is like getting lectured about great military victories FROM A FRENCHMEN!
uh line 4 EllRoberson!
1) Bolos

3) Wahoo
4) Taco Lucha
5) So Long
Look I disagree, I laid out my case, but as an overweight late-middle aged lady I can see the appeal. This is basically the list my mom would come up with if I asked her about where we were going to eat.

Ha! Good take. Did not convince me, but I appreciate the enthusiasm. Speaking of enthusiasm for food. It is grilling season. Let Jim Cattey from Smoke n Fire hook you up with a brand new Lynx grill with a built in rotisserie. This is what I've got out back on my deck and it is built to click one button and go baby! Speaking of baby, baby back ribs, you got a whole chicken turning on the spit, some veggies for the gals and how about this, grilled iceberg and artichoke. And you've got yourself a salad. Tell you right now, get down to Smoke n Fire, maybe sign up for a class with your grill and you'll be the talk of Olathe. My buddy Pete has one, talk of his hood down there in Olathe with the wife and kids. Great stuff Jim.
And we're back to the lines talking Aggieville restaurants. Quick break and we'll be right back.

Have not tried Wahoo yet. Maybe #fattyfest Sunday lunch.

Best part about so long?

Station

Bolos
Wahoo

Back to the lines, Townie J! Good to talk with you my man. I respect what you're saying here, but let's talk about atmosphere. Look, if I want a great burger here's what I'm going to do. I'm going down to Smoke n Fire, I'm talking to my man Jim Catte, he's hooking me up with some recipes, he's giving me the hookup with a great butcher, he's talking to me about Dodge City Steak Co. and we're off to the backyard, we're firing up the Lynx and we're done. Piece of cake. If you want to toss some bacon on there, let's do it. Great. Tailgating? Great........but do you know what the best part is?
You're OUTSIDE TOWNIE J! Ya got the Bon Jovi blastin' you got your cutoffs and flip flops on, your workin' your tan. You. ARE. OUTSIDE! The only place I am outside at Station is if I am out back smoking with the wait staff while they should be taking my order. Next caller!
-
I go to station like at least once a week, and never once had their food.
So long was really gross the one time I've gone, guess I need to try again.
Lucha wins KK.
-
Alright quick call. Can we fit it in? Ok Brenner? Ok here we go. You have 10 seconds.

Alright back after this.

I think we can all agree that it is probably a bad idea to put anything from Mae's in your mouth that isn't alcoholic.

Wahoo has an A+ fantastic brunch and great service. I hope it remains enough of a secret that I never have to wait for a table but not so much a secret that it goes under.

Wahoo is a good choice. Been there, liked it, going back.

Station's brunch menu looks pretty good. I may give it a try next Sunday.

So this is just Aggieville?
For me, number 1 is Station. I've eaten there a lot and never been disappointed. Steak is the best I've had in MHK other than Harry's, pork chop is very good, trout is good but the mushrooms and greens that come with it are awesome, Mac and cheese is solid, burger is as good as so long, chili is the best in Aggieville. Fish and chips is also the best in Aggieville although there isn't much competition.
I don't really get the RAB love as a restaurant. They make pretty good (not great) sandwiches with bags of chips and are pricier than they should be. The hummus is great though. The atmosphere is awesome though and I like hanging out there.
Wahoo is really good, especially their brunch.
Keltic Star is actually pretty solid too.
-
Good grief, KK. Rock A Belly? Maybe for lunch, and only then it's because of their hummus. Even if I get hummus and a sandwich with a bag of chips on the side (that I'm sure they spent hours on perfecting the recipe) I'm still not full.
Aggie Station has two entrees with pork belly on the between the lunch menu and the dinner menu, and has it on one side.
Wahoo's good stuff is really good, but they have a lot of mediocre to bad stuff on their menu as well.
Bullchick's is the best place to eat post 2am.

Maybe someone is trying to lose weight ok?

RAB is a place that is really hard to get full at, but I love it for what it is.

how is this possible?

Because their sandwiches are super tiny, Tobias. SUPER tiny.

RAB has never been about the food, dumbasses

You know who else serves bags of potato chips with their food? Subway

The thread clearly states this is about "restaurant" awards, not "drinking places" award.

It's like you are the exact opposite of me. You would rather go to Little Apple Brewery and get your herp derp medium well steak and below average mashed potatoes, instead of RAB. ok bro :clac:

The mashed potatoes are below average, I will give you that. If you had an over cooked steak then that sucks but it's the best quality of steak in town.

Good job compiling the list, KK.
RAB is of course, number 1. (if you're not a complete dumbass when it comes to eating and drinking establishments)
2) Bolos
3) Lucha

i guess i've never left there after splitting hummus with someone and knocking back a reuben, chips, and a beer or three and gone "damn, still hungry!" :dunno:

Well that makes one of us. Admittedly, I'm a little larger than the average MHK resident.
-
Maybe if I had just had a bowl of tasty chili at aggie station I could get full from a cute little RAB sandwich with chips and hummus.

Wings at willies and slaying their fillies, but that's not in aggieville though.
-

I generally order their specials, but I don't eat there terribly often. I just like spicy music and loud food :dunno:

I actually crave bolo's 'zas.
-
Bandera Burrito is the absolute best. Order it everytime I go there...
-

their banana dessert thing is good enough to make me want to go back. also the black and white pizza, i think that's what it's called. but yeah, i just really enjoy that genre (genre?) of dining.

Do you guys like Carlos O Kelly's? :peek:
