Enjoy An Upscale Meal At This Delicious Farm-To-Table Restaurant In Kansas

Historically, Kansas hasn't exactly known as a hotbed of fine dining. Sure, we have some elegant places to eat here in the Sunflower State, but like many places in the Midwest, we're primarily known as a meat-and-potatoes, simple-eats type of place. All of that has been changing over the last few years, and you can now find quite a few fine dining restaurants in Kansas. One of our favorites is The Burning Barrel in Lecompton, KS. It's set in a tranquil farm atmosphere that feels so quintessentially Kansas, but features upscale, elegant food that wouldn't be out of place in Los Angeles or New York City. Check it out:

The Burning Barrel is an incredibly unique spot. The restaurant is on a farm and features origin dining in an outdoors setting. It's under a roof, but open to the air, and there are fans and propane heaters to make you more comfortable in extreme weather.

Menus are set with either three or five courses, lasting from two to three hours.

Dining here is as much of an experience as it is a meal.

Nearly all of the ingredients used in the meals are grown right here on the farm.

Rest assured that if something wasn't grown or obtained on the farm, it's responsibly-sourced from as close by as possible.

That means you're enjoying the freshest possible food that's home-grown and uniquely Kansan.

While adjustments can't be made to fit dietary preferences, there is one night a month where vegetarian meals are served.

This is such a unique farm-to-table restaurant in Lecompton, KS that's definitely worth a visit if you consider yourself a foodie.
