These 7 Restaurants In Kansas Make Bierocks That Warm You From The Inside Out

Kansas offers a variety of delicious bierocks, a portable meal brought by German Russian Mennonites in the late 1800s.

Many families in Kansas are descended from various European cultures, including the Volga Germans. The bierock is a heavenly creation that was invented in Eastern Europe and brought to America by German Russian Mennonites who migrated here in the late 1800s. It's a portable meal, easy to hold, filling, and warm. What other kind of hand warmer would be this delicious?

1. Beethoven's #9 - 2 West Piankishaw, Paola, Kansas

Editor's Note: Beethoven's #9 is permanently closed.

Beethoven's #9 is a great piece of music, and a great place for dinner. When they have bierocks to serve, it's an amazing experience.

2. Breadbasket - 219 N Main St., Newton, Kansas

Breadbasket is known best for its baked goods, which tells you that their bierocks will be a step above the rest. As someone who's been there myself, they're amazing!

3. Friendship House - 507 Ash St., Wamego, Kansas

Not only do they have bierocks, but breakfast bierocks! If that doesn't suit your tastes, they also make them traditionally as well.

4. Runza - 2700 Iowa St., Lawrence, Kansas

Runza is another name for bierocks, so don't be confused if they're called something else. However, Runza is a great place to get these quickly, and the onion rings are a great pair!

5. Becky's Bierocks - 306 S College St., St. Francis, Kansas

These bierocks are so famous, they're shipped all over the place! If you end up liking them, you can always order more to have them delivered right to you.

6. Gella's Diner - 117 E 11th St., Hays, Kansas

Hays is somewhat known as the bierock capitol of Kansas, but the gem in town is Gella's Diner. The bierocks here come in a couple different varieties, but for the most part, every bierock lover will find great food here.

7. Made From Scratch - 527 27th St., Wilson, Kansas

These bierocks are standard for the most part, with little change from the recipes we all know and love. They really are made from scratch too, which you can taste in every bite of the warm, meaty filling.

After you're done with all of these tasty bierocks, make sure you stop by Williamsburg and check out this restaurant with amazing barbecue.
