The Small-Town Eatery In Kansas Where Locals Catch Up Over Delicious Fried Chicken

We love a good opportunity for fine dining in Kansas. Dressing up for a night on the town, celebrating a special occasion, indulging in delicacies you don't normally get to enjoy: it all combines to make such a magical night. Still, the Sunflower State isn't known for being uppity, and one of the things most of us love about Kansas is how down-home and entirely unpretentious the state is. We've got simple Midwestern values and we're proud of it. If you prefer the type of simple, small-town restaurant where everyone knows everyone and the atmosphere is casual and friendly, then you'll love the place we have featured today: Gebhardt's Chicken Dinners in Mulberry, KS.

Don't feel bad if you're not familiar with Mulberry: this little city in Crawford County has under 500 residents.

On a busy night, it can feel like just about all of them are dining at Gebhardt's.

You might be tempted to excuse that away by saying there's not much to choose from: after all, this is small-town Kansas.

But the truth of the matter is that Gebhardt's is so popular it even attracts out-of-towners.

It's a destination all on its own thanks to its delicious fried chicken and homestyle meals.

The massive helpings of chicken and noodles served up here have been comforting Kansans since 1946.

You don't see that kind of longevity by serving subpar food, so it should come as no surprise that the meals here are incredible.

This wonderful small-town restaurant in Kansas is most definitely worthy of a visit, especially for fans of chicken!

Gebhardt's Chicken Dinners in Mulberry, KS is such an old-fashioned spot that there is no website or Facebook page. Trust us, it's definitely worth a visit, though! You can get more information, including a map from the Travel Kansas website.
