What our guests are saying

As a solo traveler, I recently visited Wichita (lovely city, btw) and was looking for a local diner for dinner. Delano's popped up in my search and it was just a short distance from where I was staying, so I went to check it out. It was Tuesday, around 6:00 pm and it wasn't crowded at all. My waitress, Amelia, was so pleasant and attentive. I didn't have to wait long for my Greek salad which was very good, and unusual in that it included pickles in it. I returned to Delano's for breakfast a few days later. The veggie omelette and home fries were just what I wanted and the service was great. Unfortunately, I don't remember the waitress's name but she was attentive, bi-lingual (I overheard her greet the next table), and the service was very good. The place was much busier on Saturday around 11 am but I didn't feel rushed. If I ever get back to Wichita, Delano's will definitely be one of the places I'll stop at.

This is my first time coming here. It took a while to get a seat only because it was a Saturday morning. The food is great. Unfortunately they deleted our orders so we had to wait longer than usual. But they gave us a discount and that made it better. As I said before the food is great if you want a good meal that's going to stick to your ribs come here.

I’ve eaten here with my wife and a couple of our children a couple of times. The food is good and the service is good as well. The building could use some work for upkeep, but it’s worth eating there. I had a Philly steak sandwich. It had good taste and wasn’t dry. The French fries are so good too. We tried the fried cheese and bacon bites and fried pickles.
