Trails Café

Steaks, come with a free one trip salad bar, and a baked potato. Homemade pies were available for purchase but was too full to indulge. The highlight? Chase a kid cleaning up the place had the most charming personality. Come for the good and stay for the charm

This place was praised to me by quite a few people that I know on how good the food is and such. Anyways, my ratings are based solely on my experience while there and not the dissapointment of the hype.

We went there for a dinner meal. I don't even remember what I ordered but I remember it wasn't good. I wasn't eating my meal thinking "man I have to come back again". My lady's dad (it was his birthday) had ordered a burger well done with bacon and the first time his burger came pretty pink throughout the middle and had no bacon. He just ignored the bacon because it took around 30-35mins for the food to arrive (I thought I was in a German restaurant waiting that long). There was too much pink inside for him to ignore So he had to send it back to cook longer. Eventually it came back and it was still pink, just more only in the middle.

He gave up and never touched his burger. Just a salad (and they have s very good salad bar) and fries if I remember right. We had to hunt our waitress down every time. Waitress was very sweet and very nice. My group is a mature group. We smile and converse. We also tip very generously just so the review Readers know.

Disclaimer: I understand these types of restaurants have the I bad days. Everyone I know who spoke of this place spoke highly of it. I went there when it was busy and what seemed like they were short staffed and despite those elements, the attitudes of the employees were still friendly. My experience was horrible, but it doesn't mean this place is always horrible

This is the place to go for good home cooked comfort food. One of the best chicken fried steaks I've had from a restaurant and their custard bread pudding is to die for. The steak was so so but the whole family loves this place.

Love this place. Salad bar excellent! Usually get chicken fried steak or Salisbury steak...great no matter which one.

My favorite hometown cafe. Good food, fantastic deserts, and good staff. I particularly enjoy the ambiance: no TVs! :-) So you can eat in peace and actually have a conversation. Thank you for providing such a warm atmosphere.

Good stop on the way home from a Doctor visit . Taco salad is very good. Fresh pie is good as well. We had ours to go for later.

Stopped by on our way back to Texas. Super cute mom and pop deli shop. Food was pretty good. They had good burgers, and a nice salad bar.

Our waitress was very nice and our food was very good. The only thing I would change is the mashed potatoes. They were very instant tasting.

Great people, charming decor and good, plentiful food. However, they really need to revamp and enlarge their restrooms.

I visited Trails Cafe today with my girlfriend around 4pm. I have been here before but she had not (she is new to Kansas from Billings, Montana.) We both had the chicken taco salad and it was phenominal. Our service was very good too. The lady was very nice and even took our order without writing anything down. No mistakes were made. We even took desert home, and i am happy to state that we will be back again and again. I strongly recommend that anyone passing through Holton, Kansas makes a stop at Trails Cafe!!☺🤓
