We all get hungry, and sometimes you just don't want to cook in your own home or even eat in town. Traveling is always a great option if you have the time to plan a trip to Kansas restaurants far and wide. When you're looking for where to go in 2020, check out this mini bucket list for places to start with.

1. Meridy's Restaurant and Lounge

Meridy's is a great steakhouse on its own, but we'd like to say that this place serves some of the best steaks in the state. We've always loved eating here, and want to share that with everyone! To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

2. Red Barn Family Restaurant

Amazing barbecue is sort of a Kansas thing anyways, but we're not joking when we say The Red Barn is a great place to grab some. That is, if you can get there before they run out of meat! To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

3. Bite Me BBQ

Bite Me BBQ has a great hold on their sauce and meat, but we think their bloody marys are some of the best in the state. Just look at the whole meal piled on top of it! To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

4. Munchers Bakery

Cream cheese donuts aren't too common in many places, but this bakery in Kansas has a knack for them. They're always flying off the tray, so make sure to arrive early to get them fresh before they run out! To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

5. Commercial Street Diner

For any Kansan who loves gravy a little more than the biscuits underneath, you'll want to try this diner where they don't shy away from a full plate. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

6. Bradley's Corner Cafe

Do you like pie and homemade country meals? Bradley's has both of those in spades. I've recently been back for their chicken fried steak and it was in my top 10. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

7. Prize Package

This tiny shop makes the best road trip burgers we've had, and we don't mind taking the food to go. They're perfectly greasy and hit the spot every time. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

8. Sylas and Maddy's

If you love handmade ice cream, you'll love this shop. They have locations in both Lawrence and Olathe, and trying all of the best flavors should be everyone's goal when they're in town. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

9. Pretty Boy Floyd's Steaks & Shine

If you're a Kansas history buff or into the paranormal, you might love this restaurant. It's allegedly haunted, not to mention packed full of the history of the man it's based on. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

10. Nelson's Landing

Nelson's Landing is a homage to one well-loved football star, but their food is definitely for everyone. Eating here is like eating at home after your mother cooked you an amazing meal. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.

11. Old Mill Tasty Shop

Though Old Mill has great food, they're most well known for the amazing milkshakes they create and serve. They taste like good times and remind you of simpler days. To learn more about this particular restaurant, check out our full piece here.
