Everyone loves to try a new restaurant and we here at Only in Kansas love to share the best places with you, our awesome readers! While today’s restaurant may take a bit of a drive, it is well worth it as it is home to not only a fabulous menu, but a touch of secludedness that we all crave:

Named for the Kansas state motto (which is Latin for "To the stars through difficulties"), Ad Astra is a small town diner with a fun and industrial ambiance, globally-inspired entrees, and an extensive menu that you won't find anywhere else in the state.

While the Flint Hills town of Strong City may seem small (with a population of less than 500), is is anything but with its big-hearted community, rich history, and overall memorable experience at the popular Ad Astra Food and Drink.

Originally opened and established in 2012, Ad Astra quickly gained a large following not only in the community, but from out of town as well. After temporarily closing in the fall of 2015 (due to a lack of help), the restaurant fortunately reopened and still serves the same fresh and creative menu despite the new ownership.
