In an area overrun with fast food and chain restaurants, Le Monde Cafe & Deli sits nestled in between Dillons and Pizza Hut. Like its French name hints at, Le Monde Cafe & Deli serves French European cuisine with a Mediterranean flare. A tiny, standalone restaurant, Le Monde Cafe & Deli sits in a one-way…

Harry’s Uptown Bar and Grill
Cheers-style bar with very strong drinks and tasty food
“Have you been to Harry’s?” Some Wichitans pass by Harry’s Uptown Bar and Grill every day and never notice it. Sandwiched in between Margarita’s Cantina and R&J Discount Liquor, you could blink and miss it. An old time favorite of some locals, I just discovered it this past week. Harry’s Uptown Bar and Grill sounds…
Dempsey’s Burger Pub
Upscale burgers with large following
An import from Lawrence, everyone loved the idea of a foodie burger restaurant coming to Wichita. Dempsey’s Burger Pub recently opened its second location on Wichita’s east side, so it’s evident its popularity still grows strong. I know people that just love Dempsey’s Burger Pub, and that pick Dempsey’s Burger Pub as their first choice…
Central Standard Brewing
Popular hip brewery in quiet neighborhood
Known lovingly as CSB by regulars, Central Standard Brewing popped up as one of the first breweries leading Wichita’s brewery trend. Central Standard Brewing offers a hip interior with garage doors opened to an outdoor patio, with a large, unique assortment of in-house brewed beers and straightforward finger food. Central Standard Brewing offers an eclectic…
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop
Why do we keep coming here?
Wichita loves its restaurant chains and its tacos, so it’s no surprise that you could not find a single parking space after the first weeks that Fuzzy’s Taco Shop opened. So, we waited. The first time I ever went to Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, I came in with virtually no expectations, and it’s always surprising when…
Cowboy Chicken
Another chicken, another restaurant
After complaining incessantly about Wichita’s chicken trend, we finally review a chicken restaurant, namely Cowboy Chicken. An import from Texas, Cowboy Chicken offers rotisserie chicken with a Texas flare, including cloyingly sweet tea and country music. A fast casual type restaurant, you order at the counter and they deliver your food to your seat. We…
Sapporo Japanese Sushi Restaurant
Finally good eastside sushi with great service
I visited Sake Sushi Grill and Thai Bar once before it closed and I remember the location being so out of my way that I never went back. The owners of Sake Sushi Grill and Thai Bar recently celebrated their anniversary at their new location under a new name. Located in a strip mall across…
Uno Mas Fresh Mex
Fancy and delicious street tacos
I always get excited for Uno Mas Fresh Mex days at the ICT Pop Up Park. Of the food trucks that come to the ICT Pop Up Park, I would vote Uno Mas Fresh Mex as my favorite. You can see from the long lines that typically form that Uno Mas Fresh Mex harbors a…
Kona Ice
Basic snow cone with DIY syrups
We stumbled upon Kona Ice at PedalFest 2018, and after a long morning of volunteering, all we needed was a cold treat. Kona Ice exists as a mobile, Hawaiian-style shaved ice franchise, and we happen to have one here in Wichita. Kona Ice generally does events only, but I believe they do occasionally show up…
Bubba’s 33
Decent sports bar with so many TVs
Before I ventured into Bubba’s 33, I always thought they served seafood. I apparently was not alone, as other people in my group also thought that Bubba’s 33 specialized in seafood. If we had read the fine print, we would have figured out earlier that Bubba’s 33 specializes in pizza, burgers, and beer. Bubba’s 33…
