"If you're in Clay Center and craving some Mexican food, this place is worth a visit! The restaurant has a nice vibe with colorful decor that makes you feel like you're on a mini vacation. The menu is huge, offering a ton of choices that won't hurt your wallet. Most of the food was pretty good, but the chips and salsa left me unimpressed. Now, about the cleanliness... let's just say I had a staring contest with a couple of dead flies on the window sill. They won. Still, if you can look past that, you'll have a decent meal."

"I recently ordered takeout from this restaurant, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. The food was absolutely outstanding and well worth the price, which was incredibly affordable at just $1–10 per person. Every dish I tried was flavorful and expertly prepared. The service was exceptional as well; the staff was friendly, efficient, and ensured my order was correct and ready promptly. Even while ordering takeout, I could sense the inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, making the whole experience delightful. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food at great prices!"

"Do NOT recommend this Wendy's. The staff is very rude especially the General Manager. The food is always sitting there for at least 20 minutes and they still use it to make your meal. This goes for fries and meat and such. This particular Wendy's location is the filthiest I have ever seen. As someone who has worked at many fast food restaurants, this Wendy's would not survive if it was ran the way it was supposed to be ran... Everything about this place needs changed. If I could it would be getting 0 stars."

"On Saturday night, Eric R. and I decided to go here for a date night! I had only stopped in Clay Center once on a road trip around northeast central Kansas. The lore of what brought us here goes back to Brew at the Zoo in Manhattan in 2019. We were trying to taste beer at every brewery 's booth, but when we got to 15-24 's, they were tapped out. Kindly, they offered us an empty growler and told us to return. The growler reads Beer Route: All Roads Lead Here because 15 and 24 are roads that converge near the Brew House. Finally both more than two weeks post-vaccine and aware that there were no reported cases in Clay County, we made the 40 minute drive through budding spring-y fields with purple flowers and arrived in Clay Center to find a full street of cars. Eric R. found one parking spot in front of the Brew House. It was 6 PM and hoppin '! The staff was so friendly, from being greeted by the hosts and helped by the servers throughout our time there. We were seated toward the front window. Since we never got to try the beer in 2019, that was our main priority. We asked our server about flights, and she suggested we could get 4 or 8 beers. We decided on eight, and started telling her selections from the menu. She told us the menu was not quite accurate, so she could pick them for us. We told her any kind except IPA and sour knowing our tastes. She swung by to say she was bringing 9, but 11 beers showed up, and these pours were very generous (see photo). They were all labeled, but the manager stopped by a few times to explain what we were tasting. I took notes on my phone just like I do at Brew at the Zoo. We tried Flyover Lager, Highway 2 Hell, Peel Out Wit, Back Woods Brown, Brittney (like a pina colada), Nancy (pineapple Flyover), Ope! Orange Creamsicle Milkshake, Ski Lift Vanilla Porter, Rural Route Cranberry Lime Radler, Headlight Hefewiezen, and Ohlde Sout. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip and southwest eggrolls (the restaurant was out of wings that night). I was filling up with the beer and grub, but Eric R. decided to order an entree of shrimp skewers. It came with a salad, blistered green beans, and new potatoes, plus two skewers each with five grilled shrimp. I ate some of his and it was very flavorful. Our main server and the manager told us we could get 4 crowlers for $27, so we honed on our favorites (we easily guessed each other 's during the tasting) and the manager told us there was an Ope! the Berries crowler even though it was tapped out, so like a berry milkshake. We got that along with Back Woods Brown, Peel Out Wit, and Ski Lift Vanilla Porter. Our server wanted us to fill the growler, so our marital compromise was on the Headlight Hef, but alas, it was tapped out too. The manager sold us a crowler of the Hef instead. We decided that since the growler led us there, we would indeed return with it and try new beers as they rotate. On the way out, we spotted the multi-layer carrot cake in the case (Eric R. 's favorite), and everyone at the front tried to convince us to take it home (complete with the price with tax), but I knew how many sweets Eric R. got at the farmers market that morning and could not oblige, so now we have another reason to return! Next time, we will make it a beer and dessert stop! The atmosphere is very fun, the staff are awesome, the beer is refreshing, and the food is tasty. We will be back, and it will not take us two years next time! All roads lead here, after all!"
