In my opinion, the food here used to be better. The sandwich I had essentially had two slices of not so desirable pre-packaged Turkey pastrami and a little bit of mustard. For the price it was a joke as places like Jersey Mike's have similar prices but much more abundant filling. The highlight was the tomato soup which is always good although it could have been warmer.

Cozy little diner style restaurant with comfort foods and a soda fountain style interior. The location has lots of character from old refrigerators in the front of the restaurant to wooden booths and a counter that you can sit at too. It reminded of an old soda shop. The prices were reasonable. The portions were generous. We had the lasagna, open faced quesadilla, a side salad which even included alfalfa sprouts and cheese :), ice cream sundae and cheesecake. The food was served hot and there was a little bit of a wait since it was made to order. The server was friendly and attentive. Kind of the place you can count on always getting something simple and freshly prepared. This place isn't fancy. It's clean and has character. I'd go back again the next time I'm in The neighborhood.

Delightful, old school, no fuss just the basics. Burgers are good, malts are excellent as is the service. Generally, my first stop when I get to Wichita. . .

So the last time I've been this place was probably about 20 yess ago. The place hasn't changed! The cute bar counter on the right side of the shop and seating on the left side. I don't think the menu has changed either! It wasn't until I got my order was when I realized the chicken salad sandwich was also the last thing I had here too! I wish I ordered something different, but it was still good! We also got the beef brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. I wish the sides were larger!I also got the special shake of the week, strawberry banana. A must try and was very good!Staff were friendly, but the young waiter looked a bit too young to be waiting tables. There's also a parklet out front so you can order your food to go and sit in the sun!

Five stars for the atmosphere. Unfortunately the food, while good, is rather average. This place is worth the visit for the atmosphere alone. It's like stepping back into the first half of the last century right down to the soda jerks. You feel as if I've stepped into a restaurant during the 1930's or '40's. The offer a daily blue plate special. When we stopped in it was chicken enchiladas. They were good, bit not Mexican restaurant good. My wife had the club sandwich. Again it was good, but it's just a club sandwich. Overall a unique experience but not a five star dining experience. Then again, it's not meant to be. It appears to be intended to keep the experience as that of the first half of the last century, and that they do very well

My boyfriend and I were visiting from NYC, and because this was his first time to Kansas (and actually the Midwest), he was very excited to visit an old school soda shop. Waitstaff is friendly and prompt, our food was delivered very quick, and this has been my boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Wichita.I am vegetarian and was happy to see more vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered the tomato bisque, 1/2 a grilled cheese and a side salad. I found out that all of their dressings are made in house. The soup was hot and fresh and tasted great with the sandwich. My boyfriend ordered the club sandwich and baked beans. We also opted for a chocolate banana malt.The prices were a little high, but the ambiance and experience made up for it. Everything we ordered tasted great and I would come back and visit again before the end of my trip.

Lots of local flare and character. Simple dishes made well. You have to try some house soda/pop and or ice cream. It's impressive what they can do in such a small cooking space

Always a great spot for lunch. Friendly and helpful staff, Gail is a gem! The food is always fresh and delicious. We love their shakes and their old fashioned sodas. The atmosphere is always positive and a fun place to encounter.
