An update on eating out in Wichita…
Pump House: Interesting place. The appetizers were ok. We had your basic bar food-nachos, chips/salsa, chicken wings (very spicy!) and chicken fingers (kind of cold in the middle which I find gaggy). They also had two types of eggrolls-traditional pork and southwestern chicken. Not a fan of the southwestern eggroll but I would have the pork again. Overall a good place to hang out with friends but next time I will try to find something unfried on the menu!
Oeno Wine Bar. Well priced wines by the glass and I loved the couches. Very comfortable place-next time I will try dinner.
Sugar Sisters: I’ve been twice now and the coffee is kind of strong but it goes well with mini cupcakes served on delicate little plates (see image!). The bierocks are very good (meat and cheese in a butter soaked roll)-next time I’ll be sure my sauerkraut is included. Only problem with this place is no free WIFI. L
Mike’s Wine Dive. Divine Cuban pork sandwich. I couldn’t finish mine and took half of it home. I went to bed and woke up after midnight and actually got out of bed to eat the rest of it. Crispy pickles, tangy Dijon mustard, and super tender pork on a hoagie. Divine. But I would pass on the truffle fries next time and get the sweet potato fries instead. Also, I have heard the chocolate bag dessert is delish….The wine book was amazing. I not a wine connoisseur and it was helpful to have such good descriptions about the different wines.
Cinnamon Deli: I had a great Reuben. Portions are huge. Fast service. I would totally go again for lunch.
Zen’s Veg Cuisine: A wonderful find. I am not a vegetarian but I do get a bit gagged out by chicken sometimes. And I am not a fan of over processed turkey and beef-too many frozen meals in my lifetime! This place uses vegetable protein/soy/tofu to mimic the texture and taste of beef and chicken. The lunch box is great because it includes a spring roll, a cherry blossom (no crab in the crab Rangoon) and tempura veggies. They do close every day in the afternoon between lunch and dinner!
Mead’s Corner: a delish simple veggie Panini. The veggies were so fresh-and the portion was one the smaller side, which I really appreciate. The space was very relaxing and I think it offers free WIFI.The Donut Whole: a favorite. Offers great coffee, funky donuts, and free WIFI. The staff is super nice and it’s just a great relaxing place. I also like the selection of drinks besides coffee-organically sweetened sodas that have zero calories. None of the phenyllywacky stuff
