The Outsiders Grill - Iola

One of my favorite places to grab a bite. Fantastic vibe, decent service, tasty cocktails.

Was passing through town and hungry. Wanted to find a local restaurant not an Arby’s, Taco Jones or McDonald’s. Passed all those joints and ventured downtown and stopped at Outsiders. Ordered the classic w/bacon and it was one of the best burgers I have had for a long time. I came a little before lunch and as it got close to noon the place filled up and no wonder!! Service: Dine in

Chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes with your choice of white or brown gravy with fresh veggies and Fish with fresh veggies and salad with French dressing was great. Service is always friendly and efficient. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was delicious. I ordered the cheese tortellini with grilled chicken, a side salad, and grilled veggies. I got more than I could possibly eat but it was so good, I tried anyway. Normally I think grilled veggies aren't great but these came in a delicious sauce. The side salad was small but it didn't need to be any bigger. I got to witness two strangers strike up a conversation and a surprise birthday. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly and the music wasn't too loud for normal conversation.

Pretty good little joint. Stopped in for the night and they had a great selection of whiskey and the burgers were great. Next time we're in Chanute I'll stop again. Price per person: $10–20 Recommended dishes: Burger
