A Kansas tradition
A counter where
everybody knows
your name.
Daisy Mae's is the kind of place you stumble across on a drive through town, and end up making a regular stop. Cassie remembers your order. The coffee's always hot.
It's not fancy. The booths are well-worn, the menu is the same one your grandparents would have read, and the chicken fried steak is exactly as big as you remember.

From the regulars
What folks are saying.
"Felt like a family place from the 60s. Cassie was great — definitely a locals' breakfast spot. Nothing fancy, but the service and the atmosphere were spot on."

Local Guide
"Daisy Mae's is excellent, and probably the most quintessential small-town American diner you can find. Worth the drive from anywhere in the county."

Local Guide
"Hand-breaded catfish was crispy and perfect. Hash browns done right. Portions were huge and the bill was tiny. Will absolutely be back."
