The Kansas Guide to Destination Dining Outside of Wichita

Perhaps you’re like me. When you are driving through Kansas, you have the urge to find little gems around our state. As you’re driving, you get hungry and see a small city coming up and wonder if there are any great places to eat there. Well I’ve put together a quick reference to hopefully alleviate some of those issues. Here’s a list of cities in Kansas and restaurants readers have recommended.

  1. I didn’t notice Derby or Haysville on the list. Derby has Casa Martinez and Pizza John’s and The Coop as far as local spots. Not sure about Haysville. Also, Winfield has College Hill Coffee Shop. Sedgwick has The Meeting House. Thanks for compiling this list! I’m bookmarking it for future reference!
