Red's Cafe - Haysville

Small town diner with all the fixins and no glamor. But thats

I love this place! The people were so polite and helpful! Food taste great! Come in and try it for yourself!

Wait staff was nice. Young and not well trained, but very attentive and the owner was nice.Cook was making one plate at a time. Slamming things around and clearly frustrated for some reason. The place had a larger group of about 8 people, plus some other tables with 2.Took 30 minutes to get our food and we ordered two items. Others seated after us were served first. Food did come hot, but waitress had her finger stuck in my gravy from my biscuits... I scooped that off and just ate around it trying to get out of there as it was so loud and cramped. Plus, I didn't want to wait longer to have it remade. How to handle plates and cups would be a good training for the staff. Touching the food with your fingers or even the lip of the cups and plates goes against health codes.EVERYTHING was dirty. Menus, salt and pepper shakers, coffee creamers that were sitting in a bowl with dead flies and food scraps in them. Syrup or coffee stains on the creamer packets. Blinds that haven't been dusted since 1984. Carpets filthy, doors grimey, tables sticky, and fans circulating air were clogged with grease and cobwebs. Simple bucket and sponge to clean up most of that, so had us wondering how clean the kitchen habits are.Little to no seating and customers were turned away, so be prepared for a wait or be prepared for no service. The place could seat about 4-5 families if you squeeze in tight. Maybe seats 25-30 people if you put 4 in each of the three booths, 4 at each of the three tables and 2 off to the side.Food was average. Biscuits and gravy were decent but the biscuits were dry even with gravy. Nothing to really write home about. Not sure if we missed something, but not impressed.

Excellent service, excellent food, reasonable prices. I would recommend this small diner.

I love this diner and I've only been TWICE! As a server myself, our waitress is very kind and takes the time to get to know her customers. I've only seen about 3 people working at a time but its constantly busy and they know how to manage it. The food is amazing and actually feels home-cooked unlike other places. As well as the food being CHEAP. Its usually only around 25 dollars for 2 people.
