Once upon a time, there was a little inn where they served home cooked meals so good you’d swear your grandmother was hiding in the kitchen. Today, stories like this are still true in Kansas! Restaurants that walk right out of a storybook aren’t common by any means, but they’re shining examples of the Kansas way of life. This restaurant in central Kansas has it all — scenery, setting, and service. Oh, and the food’s even better. Don’t believe me? Step in and grab a bite!

Welcome, welcome to the Midland Railroad Hotel! It’s hidden in the town of Wilson, which is rich in Czech history and heritage. The first sight you’re met with is this amazing 3-story limestone building that’s been here since 1920 and restored to its beautiful origins. It definitely looks like an inn, but what’s inside?
