Seven Old Kansas Supper Clubs Where Dinner Still Feels Like A Night Out In 7

Some dinners are just meals, and some still feel like an event worth dressing up for. Across Kansas, a handful of old-school supper spots keep that spirit going with hand-cut steaks, platters of fried chicken, live music, and dining rooms that have barely changed in decades. These are the places...

Mold, bugs in liquor, expired medicine & more at Wichita KS restaurants, hotel

Bugs in liquor bottles, mold, flies, expired medicine for sale, leaky sinks, dirty conditions, candy that wasn’t labeled properly, food that wasn’t stored at safe temperatures and more are among violations state inspectors discovered during recent food safety and lodging inspections in the Wichita area. Each week, The Eagle adds to its searchable database of failed inspections from Sedgwick County. Seven restaurants, hotels and other businesses were non-compliant with state regulations Nov. 1-7. Inspectors found few or no violations that week at more than 70 other locations deemed compliant with food safety and lodging rules. Kansas Department of Agriculture inspections are meant to protect the public from foodborne illnesses and other health risks. Locations can fail if they have too many problems, certain types of violations or issues that can’t be fixed right away. Violations are common. Most of the time, they’re corrected in front of an inspector. Examples of things that can be addressed immediately include serving food that’s more than a week old, employees mishandling ingredients and dirty kitchens. Issues that may take longer to correct include pest infestations, power outages and plumbing problems. It’s rare, but a business may be temporarily shut down over violations. Locations that

Merle’s Place could soon be under new ownership by a familiar face in Wichita

Earlier this year, one of my favorite sandwich shops in town, Merle’s Place, announced they were looking to sell the building and business. The restaurant and bar located at 440 N. Seneca has a rich history dating back to the 1930s before rebranding to what we know of it today as Merle’s Place in 1966.

Wichita restaurant owner had decided he'd have to close. Then things changed.

The owner of a Wichita Hawaiian restaurant who recently decided he’d have to close his business has changed his mind. Mike Brotemarkle, the owner of Sharky’s Island Bites at 8918 W. 21st St., had even notified his landlord that he’d be out of the space by Dec. 1. But earlier this week, he told the landlord he’d decided to stay. It all started when Brotemarkle received a cease-and-desist letter from a restaurant based on the West Coast called Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar saying that the Sharky’s Island Bites name was too similar to its trademarked name and that it created brand confusion. The California-based Uncle Sharkii chain, which has several locations across the country, recently partnered with Walmart and is planning to open versions of its restaurants in some stores across the country. It already has opened restaurants inside two Walmarts in Texas. Brotemarkle said that he found himself faced with a decision: fight the lawsuit, close Sharky’s and open it under a different name, or close the restaurant entirely. The first two options, he’d decided, would be too expensive. But Brotemarkle said that his lawyer recently discovered that Uncle Sharkii had let its trademark lapse. Though the chain is

From east to West, Wichita restaurants are moving, opening and closing

If you’re the type of person who gets regular cravings for Angelo’s Wich-Italian style pizzas and pasta dishes, it’s time to start planning ahead. The restaurant is finally ready to move to its bigger location. It will operate at 5900 E. Central only through Saturday. After that, it will close so owners can relocate it to the restaurant space at 550 N. Rock Road where restaurants like The Grape, Ernie Biggs and Dempsey’s Burger Pub have previously operated. The owners have said that the restaurant will be closed for a minimum of seven to 10 days while the move is happening, so now is the time to start stocking up on take-and-bake dishes.

Grabbing some barbecue from Q’s Your Daddy BBQ in Maize, KS

Earlier this year, Q’s Your Daddy BBQ & Catering opened at 5125 N. Maize Road in the former Nancy’s A-Maize-N Sandwiches space. When I dropped by, it was over Sunday brunch and I wasn’t able to get my hands on the BBQ so I had to make a return visit.

10 Vintage Diners In Kansas That Serve Huge Portions

One retro diner on this list hands out jukebox-style players right at the booths. Another has been cooking chicken-fried steak and hash browns since 1963. I love that these old-school spots still exist. Kansas has diners in a former train depot, on a historic downtown street, and along a lonely stretch of US-36.
