Editor’s Note: Due to rising costs, the Doo-Dah Diner had to stop offering free monkey bread with each order in 2023. Thankfully, you can still purchase it, and we highly recommend it – it’s delicious!

Monkey bread is pretty delicious: it’s a Jewish-Hungarian sweet bread that’s pulled apart and eaten like a monkey would. Covered in cinnamon and sugar, it’s a sweet treat that’s beloved by pretty much anyone with a sweet tooth. When it comes to monkey bread in Kansas, one place reigns supreme: the Doo-Dah Diner in Wichita. This place is a local gem that’s beloved by all who come across it. The lines to get served are often lengthy, but it’s all worth it when you taste the incredible home-cooked food paired up with a side of monkey bread.

The Doo-Dah Diner is as unassuming as they come, but it's such a homey spot that it's tough to not fall in love from the first visit.
