Great food, great place. Great price, that's all I need to say about this place. By the way, I love the shot wheel, but my wife won't let me partake.

Great find on our backroads trip through Kansas. Jalapeno burger was fantastic. Chicken strips are huge, pickle chips are delicious.

Small town stops seem to always bring the best food! Heading to Mayetta we decided to check out the little town of Valley Falls and found this hidden gem. The food is so good, like so good! We started off with their mozzeralla moons, there are only three to an order so be weary if you have a larger party. They were some of the best we've ever had. Unfortunately I did not grab a picture because we ate them that fast. We had their smash burgers and fries 100% worth the stop. The bun was buttery but the meat is seasoned to perfection. As always I had mine without a bun, this causes me to have to really taste the flavor and the flavor was on point. If you're ever in the area or passing through stop in and give this place a chance. Looks like a dive from the outside but I've always found those are the places with the best food! Don't sleep on this spot.

Loved all of our food we got burgers and the chicken bowl. Would definitely recommend this place. It was pool night so it was pretty crowded.

Definitely yes on this delicious gem in Valley Falls! Great smash burgers and the chicken sandwich was amazing!! Fried okra tasted hand breaded. The service was equally as great as the food. Super friendly staff. Lots of space here. The classic country music was an absolute delight. If you enjoy discovering new places you gotta get here! Kudos to The Elevator we'll be back.

I’ve stopped in here a few times but only for a beer. Yesterday a large group of us stopped in after a funeral service. The staff was amazing. Busy the entire time we were there and they didn’t miss a beat. The young girl working the bar did a great job with a smile on her face. The lady (maybe owner), working the dining room was busting her tail getting food to tables, pushing tables together and making sure all the customers were taken care of. I had a cheeseburger with all the veggies etc and it was well seared, great cheese and a good bun. Side of fries hit the spot. Great experience and we’ll definitely be back.

Not a bad little place, was able to get right in as I passed through on business. The waitress/bar tender was certainly quick to put the order in and the kitchen was nearly as quick to get it out. Simple, regular fare, nothing spectacular, but definitely a welcome stop after hours on the road. Food was as ordered and reasonably priced.
