  Wonderful place, some of the best biscuits around. Each time I have been to this place the service is quick and friendly.  The town is like any other small town, but with a sense of pride and it shows with the food here.

  I love the friendly cooker! All sorts of different menu options and always good! Staff is good depending on who's there but yes I like this place!

  Great Little country diner!
  
  Breakfast served all day which was nothing short of awesome. (or what you need for a late late night meal or hangover food)
  
  Serving real local sausage patties with eggs actually cooked the way I ordered (gasp!) with a generous helping of well cooked hash browns. they have homey options like rye toast and sweet tea.
  
  Just overall a well priced good diner that isnt into rushing out the food but cooking the food to its proper completion and flavor.

  I laugh when I think of this place...
  
  Simple down-home diner with something for everyone.
  Breakfasts are big and filling. DONT go right after church - it's packed to the gills.
  Home cooked bread from the local, town mill. Soup is tasty. Buffalo burgers are average - just make sure to not get it well done, remember, buff should be medium. Grilled cheese, fries, yadda yadda - what you expect from a little grill in a small town - wont stop any wars but will hit the spot.
  Salad bar is small but surprisingly good and fresh!
  Pies of all kind - have some.
  Service - aloof bit attentive.
  My husband and I lived in Wamego and visited The Freindly Cooker probably 1-2 times a week for about a year and a half and were still strangers by the time we left.  If you're treated like an outsider, dont sweat it - everyone's a stranger unless they know your grandpappy or went to HS with you. Conversations are often loud and entertaining in a middle-America kind of way (think Napoleon Dynamite).
  
  There's a bed & breakfast above the place, too, if it's late and your tired.
  
  I don't think they take credit ... I seem to recall paying by check whenever I was there. You can get cash at the grocery store or Kaw Valley bank.

  Good, home cooking with breakfast served all day. The pancakes are great, buttermilk or wheat, and are as big as the plate they're served on. They've got just about any breakfast item you can think of. They've got good burgers too as well as fried chicken and other comfort food.
