Eat
- The Brookville Hotel, ☎ +1 785 263-2244. 105 E. Lafayette Abilene, KS. Not a hotel, but a restaurant that only serves family style fried chicken dinners in an authentic recreation of the 1800s hotel in nearby Brookville, Kansas. Food is superb and reservations are recommended. Honored as one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Cuisine.
- The Cozy Inn, 108 N. 7th St, ☎ +1 785 825-2699. Salina KS. Small restaurant that serves small burgers, similar to those made by White Castle. Better get carry-out; these burgers are piled high with onions and if you eat in, you'll smell like onion all day. Honored as one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Cuisine.
