So Long Saloon

The restaurant was a little smaller than I expected, but it was definitely packed full of character, as well as patrons.The staff were all very friendly and provided good service.My wife and I shared chips and queso as an appetizer. Both the chips and the queso were very good. The only thing I would have changed would be giving the queso just a little kick to it.For our meals, we both got the temptation burger with fries as a side. She ordered hers as is, but I substituted the mayo for bourbon bbq sauce. It was truly a really good burger. In my opinion the fries were fine, however they left a little bit to be desired. I really like fries with some sort of seasoning or topping on them.Overall I would recommend and we will be going back!

Really good bar with great burgers and excellent slaw. Great place to visit when in town to visit KState. Really good service particularly busy they were. Sadly had to work an event after lunch so I couldn't try the beer here but the ices tea was great too.

First off, I try to eat local when traveling. I especially look for good reviews and some local flare. This is how I came to attempt the So Long Saloon.Didn't end well and my take is as follows:1st off... Skip it. I Went in solo on a Sunday night to eat supper. The place was at about 75% capacity based in seat cocoount and was told I couldn't sit at a table or booth because I'm solo... was offered the lone open seat at the bar which was quite literally nested next to the shitcan..when I say next to it, I mean the stool was literally touching it and I'd likely have been rubbing shoulders with the guy seated in the next stool and any server who approached the server statiin.. No Bueno. I asked if that was the only option and asked again to be seated at a table only to be told no again as i was solo... the server offered zero and i mean NO resistance when I told the young server I'd skip it before I'd shit basically on the garbage can.. come on Manhattan!!!Perhaps next time welcome a paying guest as if the business was welcomed as opposed to resisting the fact that I didn't want to rub up on a shitcan while I ate...P.S. As an update... I drove over to the Vista Drive Inn and got precisely what I wanted in plentiful taste and portion... I won't be back ever for an attempt at the So Long Saloon... perhaps a place really is as it's name implies.. So Long!

I mean they have a Woody Guthrie poster on the wall. I am coming back for that. This visit was for drinks and appetizers. Will have to come back again for more food. Margarita- greatChips and guacamole- goodBean dip not a favorite with our family but others seem to like it.

I was in Onaga, KS (staying in Centralia, KS) for school with some classmates and we headed to Manhattan, KS for a day trip. All 5 of us are from California. All but one are from larger cities, so the Kansas life was a culture shock to us and we needed some city time on our free day.I'm a foodie, so...Of course, I checked out Yelp to find us an early dinner spot. So Long Saloon came up with good ratings, so we headed there. The menu is pretty simple by my standards. Most of us ordered burgers and I got an order of fried pickles to share. "Frickles," if you will. Haha. The frickles were a big hit with me and my classmates. I've never had fried pickles that were so crunchy before. And I loved my burger. I forget what it was called, but it have a deliciously soft fried egg in it with a yolk that burst on my first bite. If I ever find myself in Kansas again, I'd try to stop by here. I really want to try their peanut butter burger.The service was FANTASTIC. We had multiple people checking up on us. They were super attentive and incredibly friendly.The saloon and decorated as one would expect a saloon to be. I love that casual, dive type of feel, so I loved it. Don't be alarmed to find stuffed animals everywhere you go in Kansas. Seems to be a staple around there.

The food was so yummy!! I wasn't super hungry so I only ordered a slider... it was so good! Their fries are almost like Freddy's fries... so yummy! The servers were so nice and friendly! Amazing ambiance as well! Great place to hang out!

Great food as always. The former president of the United States of America was almost assassinated tonight and the manager routinely refused to put on the news. So glad we got to watch NBA junior league.As a non partisan, since is was global news. So glad we weee lucky enough to watch the junior league.

So Long's, I love you. It isn't just the nostalgia of reminiscing on college memories made here...the food and drinks are just straight up delicious. If you're a first timer, the bean dip is a must try. I get it - the combination sounds odd at first, but when you stir that chipotle raspberry into the dip... wow. Just perfect.You can't go wrong with any of the burgers here. For a lighter lunch, (or to pair with bean dip) I like a couple sliders. Absolutely enjoy them with the pickles. They add the perfect crunch and bite of dill to the slider. If you're up for a drink, you've got to try a Nancy. My personal favorite is the Pirate Nancy. Just give it a try! You won't regret it. Expect a wait, especially on game days and other busy times in the 'Ville. Luckily, there's lots of local shopping in the area where you can pass the time!

This is an iconic place from when my oldest brother attended KSU decades ago. The margs and Nancy's are good reasons to stop in and grab a drink and absorb the vibe and nostalgia. My burger and rings were good and service was attentive. I was a little disappointed in the dill pickle fries due to how greasy they were and lack of dillness flavor. The special shrimp wrap was good but needed more filling. Definitely wished I would have ordered the chipotle raspberry cheese dip but saved it for visiting their sister mexican restaurant Taco Lucha later that night.

The Chili Cheese Burger was super delicious, and so did the Onion Rings and the fries. The service was a little slow since the restaurant was quite busy. Regardless, I enjoyed my experience there.
