Contribute Feedback What Amber Paul likes about Trail Days Cafe And Museum:
What a gem! I found the Trail Days Cafe Museum online while researching somewhere unique my friend I could meet between our respective home towns. This place is so charming. The food was excellent we greatly enjoyed the history stories as relayed to us by the couple who saved this beautiful home. The gentleman had a tidbit about Council Grove as it related to several other towns in Kansas his wife showed us a pictogr... View all feedback.
Definitely a different type of dining experience combined with a history lesson of the area.
I highly recommend stopping in this place. The loving authentic care taken in the restoration and passionate historical knowledge is unmatched; regardless of whether you're interested in history or not. You're invited to explore the space or visit the museum next door while you're waiting on your food or after you eat or whether you decide to eat there or not (don't miss the short video at the museum it is REALLY well done). The menu is diverse and delicious (we tried the bison and elk meals, Reuben and grilled cheese sandwiches every one was pleased with their choice), the people were genuinely friendly. The place is decorated with period appropriate items that include notes with interesting information. It is a homey welcoming layback atmosphere that transports you to a simpler time when people would actually sit back and relax a bit.
Our food was good and very tasty and the museum experience was truly inspiring. The owner Ken showed us pictures of how a dilapidated building was transformed. His wife Shirley’s irrepressible spirit pushed her to see the house as a diamond in the rough. The transformation was amazing. The antiques and decor throughout the museum were very beautiful.
We got there at 11:30am and our food was brought to us at 12:15 pm. And we were the co only people in the restaurant. That is not reasonable. Bad service
This is an amazing place and you will be amazed by the history behind it. The Couple who operate the business here is the sweetest couple I have ever seen. If you are around dont miss to visit this place.
