Is it just me, or are hole-in-the-wall restaurants the best places to dine? How can a place that looks so simple and unassuming on the outside be so “OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE” on the inside? Whatever the case, Kansas is home to several humble restaurants that may not look like much on the outside, but are oh so delicious! Here are 10 of these places (in no particular order)…
1.) JD’s Country Style Chicken (Hays)
