Okay, folks, let me tell you about my little adventure today, diving into the world of Gebhardt’s Chicken Dinners. I’d heard whispers about this place, and man, was I curious! It’s tucked away in Mulberry, Kansas, a spot you wouldn’t just stumble upon. So, I made it my mission to get there and give it a try.
First off, I did some digging. Found out their address, 124 N 260th St, and that they’re open mostly in the evenings. Made a note of their hours: Monday, Friday, and Saturday, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Closed the rest of the week. That’s a bit unusual, but hey, adds to the charm, right?
Then I started looking at what people were saying. A lot of chatter about their chicken being the best in southeast Kansas, crispy and juicy. Got my mouth watering, I gotta admit. Plus, they mentioned onion rings, baked beans, sweet potato salad, cole slaw, and green beans. Sounded like a feast!
Getting Down to Business
So, I planned my visit for a Saturday. Called up a couple of buddies, and off we went. The place is kinda rustic, which I liked. Gave it a real homey feel. We walked in, and the smell of fried chicken hit us immediately. It was heavenly, I tell ya.
The Menu Rundown
We got seated and took a look at the menu. It’s pretty straightforward, which is great. No need to overcomplicate things when you’re here for the chicken. They had different meal options, mostly centered around, you guessed it, chicken!
- Chicken Dinner: This was the star. You get a few pieces of their famous chicken, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Just perfect.
- Sides Galore: We tried a bit of everything. The onion rings were crispy and not too greasy. The baked beans were sweet and savory. The sweet potato salad was a nice surprise, creamy and just the right amount of sweet. And the cole slaw and green beans, they were fresh and a good balance to the fried stuff.
- Drinks: They had the usual suspects. Nothing fancy, but they went well with the meal.
The Verdict
After stuffing ourselves silly, we were all pretty happy campers. The chicken was the highlight, no doubt. But those sides really made the meal complete. We spent a good couple of hours there, just eating, chatting, and soaking in the atmosphere.
I’d say Gebhardt’s is worth the trip if you’re ever in the area. It’s not just about the food, it’s the whole experience. It’s like stepping back in time a bit, to a place where good food and good company are all that matter. I’ll definitely be back, maybe to try their other stuff, but honestly, that chicken is calling my name already!
So, that’s my little food adventure for ya. Hope you enjoyed the ride. And if you ever find yourself in Mulberry, Kansas, you know where to go!
