BAXTER SPRINGS, Kan. — A multi-platform publication dedicated to the love of food, recently made their picks public when it comes to the “best steakhouse in every state.“
The website, Mashed, stated, “While there are definitely some wonderful national steakhouse chains, there’s a good chance that your favorite steakhouse is a local eatery that knows the ins and outs of the region. That knowledge of the neighborhood is very difficult for a chain restaurant to replicate. With that in mind, we researched to find the best steakhouse in each state in the country by sifting through reviews, accolades, and recommendations from various sources.”
The foodie website’s pick for best steakhouse in Kansas goes to Van’s Steakhouse in Baxter Springs. Mashed.com gave the following reasons for choosing Van’s Steakhouse as “the best in Kansas.”
“While the tiny town of Baxter Springs, Kansas, is home to less than 5,000 people, be sure to make a detour to this blip on the map if you’re ever in the area. Van’s Steakhouse in Baxter Springs is the best steakhouse in Kansas — and it’s not particularly close. Their rib-eye steak gets good grades for its size and its freshness. Van’s Steakhouse also has a Smokey Mesquite Sirloin that has caused a lot of attention to be focused on this hole in the wall steakhouse.”
