Reviews for Bourbon & Baker in Manhattan, KS
Coming to Bourbon and Baker is always an experience. The menu is always changing and everything is quite flavorful. They have... main entrees and what I really like most, they are big on tapas. So their small plates are filling but still allow you try somemore of their options. And if you?re like me you like trying a little bit of everything. I?ve tried cocktails, beer, and juststraight up liquor and their variety on alcohol alone is satisfying. Everyone here is welcoming and gives a plethora ofsuggestions whether it?s a drink or something to munch on. This place isn?t large so sometimes it can get pretty busy but so farthe times I have been there I was able to get seated relatively fast. And if you still have room after all that booze and tastetesting, you have dessert . I have tried one of their monster cookies, pudding, and the lovingly scrumptious cake. Give this atry even if you are passing through town or are a townie yourselves. Some of their options will be familiar, but trust me, theywill have their own spin on it and it?s even better than expected. Don?t hesitate! Read more
The Brussels sprouts, asparagus fries, burnt ends pb&j, and black eyed pea hummus were phenomenal. The duck tacos weren?t that... great so I don?t recommend those. Service was fast and servers were kind. The sidecar was delicious as well!! Read more
Hands down the best chicken and cinnamon waffles with maple syrup & hot sauce. They have a great selection of cocktails. And, we... loved their Birthday Cake dessert....so yummy! Read more
The food here was indeed delicious, my only critique would be the small serving sizes. I was still a little hungry after the... big boy chicken and waffles. My wife was good after the ribs. She did say they were not soft, rather dry and tough but saucewas delicious. The environment looked pretty and made me think of like a speak easy or a 20s bar environment. It was so loudinside that if we wouldn't have sat next to each other at the bar, we would not have heard each other. The music seems likegood choices however between the music and the customers voices, it makes it very difficult to hear anyone. I would recommendpeople check it out cause it is nice, it's just a little louder than what I would prefer. If it was a bar, ok or if it was arestaurant, ok but it is a little mix of both. Great food and a bit pricey. Read more
This is a great place to get "something different" when you're not sure what you want. The mushroom was crusted with brussle... sprouts; don't see that often. Pork belly could have been "fattier" for my liking, especially when it was sous vided. It had anice smoky taste and aroma to it. The honey brussle sprouts with bacon was my favorite. Just get it. Duck fries were reallynice. Very Ala in-n-out fries. The bechamel (or mornay) sauce was ok. Flat iron steak was also interesting with pickled onionsand truffle hash. Bottomline, if you're an adventurous diner, you will really enjoy the many interesting options here. What Iliked about the dishes were the "tapas" style portioning. Very Mediterranean. Youre just missing that turquoise coast. I knowsome people will feel differently but the smaller portions allows you to try several dishes rather then just an appetizer andmain. Your ticket will rack up quickly so be ready. Our server was great. Some others didn't look so happy. Great vibe here. Read more
Absolutely great service from entering to the last moment. We ate lunch then went to the bakery. Our waiter was excellent. The... food had a great presentation and the flavor was out of this world. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced for the portions andquality. Read more
Top notch! The food, the service, and the drinks were amazing. Our waitress named T, is the epitome of customer service. She... took her time with us and explained the tapas and the drinks menu. She told us about her favorite dishes and we ended upordering two of them - we were not disappointed. The food, which looks deceptively small, is packed full of flavor anddeliciousness.

As you would expect the menu has an extensive selection of bourbon. The cocktail menu is divided between "Signature" and... "Bourbon Road", they do have a nice selection of cocktails if bourbon isn't your taste. I tried the Green Tea Highball and theCuke Refresher; they were both made very well and tasted amazing! I really like how they set up their menu and portions andprices. They have the menu items devided by small plates and big plates. The small plates are basically sample sized portionsso you can enjoy more of the menu. It's similar to a Tapas bar in Spain. My friend and I shares several small plate dishesand they were all excellent! Great presentation and packed with flavor. Read more
