This was a delightful cheeseburger in Hays KS, for the places I have eaten in Hays, I would say easily the best quality and tastiest options. Â Go with the Q burgers, you won't be disappointed!
I did the double Q with cheese and a side of fried mushrooms. Â The cheeseburger was inhaled at record speeds. Â I am not a huge eater but I could have easily scarfed another. Â The fried mushrooms were definitely of bagged and frozen variety, nothing to write home about.
The ambiance is a walk in and counter order type joint with wait staff that deliver the food to your table. Â Not sure why they don't just take your order but it seems if you want alcohol, they take your order then. Â Everything seemed in order and it was a smooth first visit with an awesome cheeseburger to boot; can't wait to go back and try something else, I hear they have some other really good specialty burgers.
Although I've been living in Hays for about 6 months and only about 2 blocks from The Golden Q, I didn't eat there until today.
OH WOW!
This is as good as bar food gets. Â big, filling burgers with no frills. Â Wonderful chili cheese fries. Â And although I didn't try a beer, I could see the bottles were kept on ice, not in an ice box or fridge.
Price was very good, 3 of us ate there with burgers and fries (2 double cheese burgers, one single...all had fries one with chili and cheese, all water to drink) for under $10/person. Â That's a huge plus for me.
It's an up to date sports bar motif with several flat screen TVs and the current Big 12 teams (this may seem minor to some, but if you market yourself as a sports bar, keep up on the Big 12 teams, they do). Â Minor complaint, for a sports bar only a couple of blocks from a local college campus, very little "local swag". Â Minor minor complaint, not a deal breaker.
Another downside is the location. Â It works for locals but puts travlers at a disadvantage. Â Seek it out though, highly recommend.
