Free State!

Surely you're joking. I've eaten there twice, and it was lousy both times.

Mad Greek is up there. I'm a fan of Johnny's across the bridge.

Silas and Madys for ice cream.

I actually used to be a fan of El Mezcal on 23rd until the health department report saying the top two worst health code offenders in Lawrence were both El Mezcal. Haven't eaten there since, and never will again.

Alladan has a better gyro sandwich than the Mad Greek. It is larger and costs less. But nothing at all wrong with the Mad Greek.

Chipolte on 6th has to in the running for at least fast food.

Rudys also has to be mentioned.

Worst

Tortilias Jaliscos hands down. (Takes a bunch to beat out Burrito King for this honor.)

Topple 8 months, 1 week ago

I dunno. Pita Pit is quite bad, and La Parilla was probably the worst restaurant experience of my life...tasted like dog food rolled in kitty litter.

Thai Siam

classclown 8 months, 1 week ago

None of my favorites are in Lawrence. Restaurants in Lawrence are rather dull.

Taco Bell

Grandaddy's BBQ makes me feel high

Amble on north across the bridge & mosey over to El Matador. Take your time, do it slow & proper & savor every bite.

sustainabilitysister 8 months, 1 week ago

Agreed... VIVA El Matador!!!

ScottyMac 8 months, 1 week ago

My favorite restaurant is the oldest place in town, and also the cleanest: El Matador. No place else quite like it.

JackMcKee 8 months, 1 week ago

El Potro. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out.

Does Too Steakhouse

Kathy Getto 8 months, 1 week ago

Is that still open?

kernal 8 months, 1 week ago

They all closed down due to owner burnout.

Can't believe so many like Mad Greek; that place is so mediocre.

TheSychophant 8 months, 1 week ago

Agreed. I ate there around six years ago and I will never go back.

gphawk89 8 months, 1 week ago

Don's Steak House. Oops, that's closed. Paradise Cafe. Oh yeah, that's gone, too. Harry's Bear? Long gone. Joe's? Gone. Sigh...

tomatogrower 8 months, 1 week ago

I think you are starting to sound like a jinks.

MarcoPogo 8 months, 1 week ago

Didn't he go panning for gold after he closed up shop?

consumer1 8 months, 1 week ago

You are thinking of The Red Lyon. I never like being abused and pay for it. or even for free. That guy was a hit w/KU students but I thought he was a Jerk. MHRIP

ljreader 8 months, 1 week ago

That would be Wild Bill McCain. No eat no seat, No meat no seat. Don't tell anyone about the Red Lyon- It's your seat.

Hole in the Wall

riverdrifter 8 months, 1 week ago

Yep, they made a great Reuben.

dogsandcats 8 months, 1 week ago

My favorite restaurants are not in Lawrence; however, my favorite Lawrence restaurants are 715 and Free State.

grammaddy 8 months, 1 week ago

A.B.'s crepes.

oldbaldguy 8 months, 1 week ago

mad greek and el potro

oxymoron 8 months, 1 week ago

715

jayhawkster 8 months, 1 week ago

Free State: best beer, avocado chimichurri is delightful
Saigon Cafe: best pho
Wheatfields: best sandwiches
Thai Siam: best pad thai
Mirth: best pancakes

So many to choose from (715, Mad Greek, Miltons, Ingredient, Papa Kenos all rate), but these are my top 5.

Paul R. Getto 8 months, 1 week ago

The dumpster behind any Arch Club.

MarcoPogo 8 months, 1 week ago

When it comes to dumpsters, nothing tops the Refuse Corral behind Bucky's!

labmonkey 8 months, 1 week ago

MOJO's when I lived there. Too bad it is closed. Johnny's is awesome and so is Pyamid Pizza.

BinxBolloxed 8 months, 1 week ago

Agreed. They would have had the same effect by asking "Do you have a preference about stuff in general?"

Andini 8 months, 1 week ago

Border Bandito....

Daniel Speicher 8 months, 1 week ago

Mark and the crew there are amazing! Incredibly good food, large portions and a low price. What more can you ask for?

gbulldog 8 months, 1 week ago

The best food comes from my own kitchen because I know what is in it. If I want a piece of cake and make from scratch, I know what is in it. I also know it was cooked. Better than going to eat and then finding out they hung the meat outside to thaw. Also I know that I am not eating cat or dog. I grew up on a farm, and no food has ever matched the quality of food my grandmother cooked (may she rest in piece) even my mother who is a trained dietian.
