Your Favorite Dives in Chief Planet
I saw this topic on another message board and thought it would be fun to share some little known restaurants in Chiefs Country. I realize some of you never stop to eat when traveling since road kill is plentiful, but if you do please share.
Cozy Burger Salina, KS https://www.cozyburger.com/stories The mini-hamburgers similar to White Castle have so much onion cooked in them that anyone from the area knows when you visit as the smell of your clothes will give you away. Story is the restaurant decided to get a new grill. Customers complained that the hamburgers were not as good cooked on the new grill, since the grill wasn't seasoned as well. So the owners went out to the landfill and recovered the original grill. If you cannot make through Kansas, you at least want to read some the stories. Roys BBQ Hutchinson KS http://roysbbq.com The only BBQ joint that I prefer the pulled pork over brisket, because their unique BBQ sauce goes with pork so well. If nothing else, buy their sauce online, and purchase some pulled pork at a local eatery and serve with Roy's sauce. Do-B Empria KS https://www.do-b.com/32-2/ Never been to Philly, but imagine these Philly Cheese Sandwiches are as good. Never tried the hamburger, but the photos look great. CatinKS is online now Report Post |

Swopes in Rich Hill. The burgers and fries are killer and the shakes are incredible. A pineapple shake for the win!

Perry Fosters was in Warrensburg (IIRC). People used to rave about it. They tried opening a second location in Independence across from where Hy-Vee is now at Noland and US 40. It was awful and went tits up in about three months. There's a dental clinic (IIRC) in that building now. |

What are the attributes that constitute a dive?
Some possible indicators: Cooking smells linger on your clothes (as mentioned in the OP) Food served exclusively on styrofoam. Cash only business, no cards accepted. Not exactly the cleanest. Menu board is mostly pictures of the plates. ESL
