Established in 2015, Chuck & Hank's may be the new kid on the block in terms of dining establishments, but don't write them off until you try their mouthwatering Mexican and BBQ cuisine. (Also, these nachos with tender pulled pork? I die!)
A big city like Wichita has several stellar local joints just waiting to be called your favorite... but Bomber Burger is the only one that has been around since the early 1950s AND serves the famous Gumby Burger and fries.
Locals know that if you want a seat at the popular home of the "Biggest Hand-Breaded Tenderloin in KC," you best be getting there early (which shouldn't be a problem considering they serve hearty breakfasts like biscuits with homemade country gravy).
