Lots of on street parking, bigger than I expected. Only one server but she was very pleasant. Food was good, she left a carafe of coffee which was great! When she asked if we wanted cream we were brought French vanilla coffee mate, oh well. I always bring my own sweetener but we usually get real cream. Overall good experience. Definitely a place that the locals like! Clean, a lot of space, noisy but not too bad. Would recommend!

Definitely room for improvement. We were seated quickly on a Thursday morning in an empty restaurant by a waitress that looked like she seriously didn't want to be there. She gave us menus and we ordered coffee. The coffee was pretty good. I ordered a pancake and an over easy egg, my husband ordered the biscuit and gravy platter. Our meals came out super quick, like within 5-7 minutes.Unfortunately, my egg was a little over cooked and my pancake was cooked on the outside, but undercooked and gummy inside, neither were hot. My husbands over medium eggs were more over hard and his sausage was close to hockey pucks and had a funny taste. The gravy however was pretty tasty and the biscuits weren't bad. Just not very inviting or friendly and not the best food.

Leaving no stars on this establishment. Classic case of to many waiters and not enough direction. I hold nothing against people trying! I just feel that management has super failed at making this a productive business. Was pretty busy Sunday morning breakfast about 10 am, a few open tables. Was seated from hostess, waited about 10 minutes for anyone to come by to take our drink order. Listened and watched same waiter take other drink orders another 10 mins goes by others got drinks, he comes back and says we're out of Dr. Pepper and Pineapple juice, I opted to not stay, takes 10-15 to tell me they are out of something I can only imagine if it gets actually complicated. The whole time I watched 5-6 waiters and 2-3 busses wandering around aimlessly or knowing what direction. Like I said I feel they felt like they needed to be everywhere and it in the positions they need to be In, hashtag management failure.

Management is horrible. She not only treats her customers like trash but also her employees. If this place still has any chance at staying open, she needs to go. After she refused to make an incorrect order right, she yelled at our table. The other waitresses felt so bad that they came up to us to tell us she is mean to them too! Totally unacceptable. Pleeeeease do not eat here! Unless you want to be berated in front of everyone for their own mistakes.

Late breakfast on a Wednesday, almost totally empty. Clean, were greeted & seated quickly. Buddy had pancakes and was very happy. I ordered the Trough; chunked country fried steak, tater tots, split biscuit, sausage gravy, eggs over medium, and sautéed onions, peppers, and bacon with melted cheese served in a tin trough! Delicious! Hearty country breakfast served fast. Only thing that would've made it better is if I could finish it.

A gem in Hays, Kansas. Not very big, ambiance so-so, but service superb and food delicious, hot and tasty. The owner allowed me to order breakfast during the lunch hour (Belgian Waffle with OM eggs and link sausage). Husband had a black & bleu burger cooked perfectly. And, drum roll please, the French fries are made in house and scrumtious. Street parking but lots of it. Handicapped restrooms and a full bar. What more can anyone ask than this? Fairly quiet and friendly people. Windows are CLEAN which tells me the rest of the place is, too.

9/30/23, my food was brought out luke warm. My chicken fried steak tasted like it was microwaved, hash browns were not fresh, eggs were ok. The worst part was my wife's meal, which was also subpar, came out 8 minutes after mine. Objectively, her bacon was very good.I asked our waitress for a discounted meal for my wife and was told the manager/owner refused. I asked to speak with the manager, who proceeded to charge out of the kitchen, came to our table and proceeded to chew me out for bringing the issue to her attention. I asked her, "are you mad at me?" She said "yes, it's not my fault, it's your waitresses fault." I asked her, "this is your business, correct?" She then said, "pay your bill and leave!" I've never heard a manager/owner throw an employee under a bus and be so disrespectful to a customer. A very simple apology or 10% discount would have been appropriate, which she was unwilling to provide. Needless to say 9th Street Diner lost two repeat customers, today.

Sunday morning breakfast is the best in town in my opinion!! The biscuits and gravy are today for the biscuits are so fluffy and the gravy is so rich. We make this are go to spot. Try and get there before church let's out because it seems this is not just my opinion.
