We all know Kansans are serious about where they eat. These restaurants might be way out in the boonies for some of us, but they’re worth the drive. Maybe these restaurants are right down the street, but for those of us who live in the bigger cities, they’re a ways away!

I’ve been reading your comments and taking notes — and these are some of the best restaurants worth driving to! A funny way to tell they’re probably in a small town is the address. Main Street is a common address for everything when it’s a small Kansas town!
