Bourbon & Baker

Location: Manhattan, Kansas

If you ever find yourself in the heart of downtown Manhattan, Kansas, do yourself a favor and stop by Bourbon & Baker. It’s one of those places that feels cozy the second you walk in — the perfect mix of southern charm, good energy, and unforgettable food.

Their menu is full of Southern-inspired small plates meant for sharing (or not — no judgment here). Think crispy fried chicken sliders, smoked gouda mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, and the kind of bourbon drinks that make you want to stay awhile.

What I love most is how every dish tells a story — the flavors are bold, the portions are perfect for sampling a little of everything, and the atmosphere feels like a celebration of comfort food done right.

Whether you’re local or just passing through, Bourbon & Baker is a must-try spot that captures the soul of Manhattan’s food scene — warm, creative, and full of flavor.
