Cafes in Council Grove

“What a gem! I found the Trail Days Cafe & Museum online while researching somewhere unique my friend & I could meet between our respective home towns. This place is so charming. The food was excellent & we greatly enjoyed the history & stories as relayed to us by the couple who saved this beautiful home. The gentleman had a tidbit about Council Grove as it related to several other towns in Kansas & his wife showed us a pictograph she uncovered while doing restoration. It was confirmed to be authentic by an indigenous historian & I'm glad I was able to see it while learned the history of the Rawlison-Terwilliger house. I'd love to go back to experience it again & learn more!!“

“Taunte Lieseja / "Aunt Lizzy's" is Amazing! We have had bierocks several times and they are by far the BEST we've ever had!! The potato salad and coleslaw is extra delicious with a different twist of what you normally expect. The kalaches are incredibly yummy!! Can't wait to continue to try the rest of Susan's deliciousness!!“

“We were told it was okay to sit in the back room, so we did. It was about halfway through dinner rush. The lady who told us we could sit in the back followed us back but didn't offer us menus or anything. We sat for probably at least 10 minutes as staff came and went stocking the freezers and such. Finally located menus. Finally a server brought another table their food and noticed us sitting there. I ordered a mushroom swiss burger with fries, which was on special for $5. Mom ordered a ham salad and paid $2 upcharge to add egg. The food came out a lot faster than it took to order it. The burger and curly fries were very good, especially considering the price. The salad had a lot of toppings, and a bit of cut ham. The $2 egg was a sliced boiled egg that they'd forgotten until she reminded the server. The big salad was served on a small plate, which made it difficult to mix up and corral as Mom ate it. I'm not much of a fan of shredded lettuce, but at least their lettuce did seem very fresh. I can see why they stay busy with those special lunch prices. The food was quite good for the price. It's not anything fancy, but seemed clean and more popular than the other restaurants in town.“
