Prairie Nut Hut

You NEED to divert off HWY 75 for this gem! I didn’t indulge in the «nuts“‘ ;) but had one on the very best cheese burgers ever, ever. did I say EVER? The owner/​server was super fun and gave excellent service. Play the Jute Box for added ambiance.
It’s really a good thing I don’t live closer, because the Nut Hut could become habit forming =) real fast.
I can’t believe this little gem only has two reviews! Let, me state this again. You MUST make the short detour off the highway and check this place out.

We stumbled across Prairie Nut Hut in a back roads trip in KS. What a gem! It seems the main attraction are «Prairie Nuts» or «Rocky Mountain Oysters» — whatever name you know them by. I skipped this option (but fully support anyone who wants to eat them).
What I did have was a REAL burger — not frozen. Not Sysco. A REAL burger, fried to perfection. REAL french fries, that started out as an actual potato. And fried mushrooms, that I think were probably fresh mushrooms to begin with. YUM!
The décor is a mix of retro beer signs (that were probably there when not retro), tables with peanuts on them, and their shells on the floor, and locals having lunch. Our waitress was great. And there are pictures of people who came to eat there from all over the country (though I am not sure how they found it… being as far off the beaten path as it is…)
Find this spot, if you are anywhere in the area and hungry!
