8 WONDERS OF KANSAS CUISINE

Barto's Idle Hour Steak House & Lounge

Frontenac, KS | Crawford County

It doesn't have chicken in its name, but it does on its plates—and it comes with a terrific reputation! Since 1951 Barto's has also provided hand-cut steaks (purchased from Pallucca's), shrimp—and dancing! Yes, all kinds of music, including polka, Friday and Saturday nights starting at 8 pm in the lounge.
