Pretty nice place. Super quiet and the staff is mega friendly. The location looks incredible and is very cozy. The meniu is huge and it s impossible to not find something to like. I ordered the New York steak medium and came well done but was ok because it tasted very good.

Me and my coworker are in garden city for work training. We are from the Kansas City area. This has to be one of the best places to eat I have ever been too. The services is infinitely friendly. The chef’s are prideful and careful. The atmosphere is amazing and warm. I would 100% recommend this place. Their breakfast and burgers are next level.

This was my first time here and let me tell you, it was amazing!! I got the chicken fried steak with fried potatoes and biscuits. The portion size was huge and it was plated so beautifully that I had to convince myself to dig in. So glad I did, because every bit was more amazing than the last. The fried steak was delicious and cooked to perfection! The potatoes were wonderful and the biscuits were soft, warm and melted in your mouth! I wish they had a location in Wichita(actually Derby), because this would be one of my “go to” restaurants. This is the first, but won’t be the last time this restaurant see’s me! We will meet again!! Loved it!!

Amazing food and very friendly and attentive service! Our waitress Kim, was super nice and informed of us the portion sizes and local events and helped us decide on what to eat. We split the Grizz and it was more than enough for 2 people. Food was warm, delicious and pancakes syrup and butter was also heated.

Omg read potatoes are amazing with the little bell peppers and onions, mixed in and nicely seasoned.I had a chicken fried steak was incredible and the grits were perfect, not too mushy done, just right, and not thick and pasty, like a lot of places.Kelly was attentive and sweet i Totally recommend this. It is a chain, but it’s also quite delicious.

The food was great and so was the waitress. First time since we moved to KS, I have found a huckleberry shake. Most of the time I wait until we go to St Regis, MT. We live in Colby, so we will definitely be back.

I should have got the breakfast like my son did… I got the meatloaf… Not my best decision and I sure would not get that ever again… I mean it was okay but no thanks! His pancakes were huge, one would be enough for a meal and they were delicious…. Yes I tried a few bites! Service was great. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional. The atmosphere was nice.

My husband and I came on a Sunday for lunch so the place was hopping and a bit loud. Kim was our server at the bar/counter and she was efficient and prompt. Never had to ask for much because she was on top of it. My husband and I both ordered the Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger and they came out hot, melty and crispy. Big portions so bring your appetite or get a box. We will certainly be back to try other items they offer on the extensive menu.

Had a great breakfast here! Huge portions, fast service and friendly staff. Kim our waitress, was especially helpful and the greeter, Aspen was super responsive. Couldn’t ask for a better place to eat. Prices are very reasonable considering how much food you get and a large variety!

We stopped in here for lunch. The waitresses were not very friendly. They never smiled. They act like it was a big bother to wait on us.
I’ve been to a lot of black bears, and this is the worst rating I’ve ever given. Maybe they need to improve their attitude.
