Delano's Diner

Crema's Take

Delano's Diner is a beloved Wichita institution where families and solo travelers alike linger over generous breakfasts and comfort food in a no-frills, lived-in space that feels like a genuine gathering spot rather than a polished destination. The kitchen delivers solid, satisfying meals that keep regulars coming back for years, though the worn building and occasionally inconsistent service remind you this is about honest food and community, not refinement. It's the kind of place where you'll rub shoulders with locals on a Saturday morning and understand why people keep returning despite its rough edges.

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.

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.

We have been coming here for years and the food was always good. We have been twice this last week and both times the food was terrible. Valentine's day we ordered a to go breakfast and we're missing several items. What we did receive was disappointing. They were really busy that day so we gave it a pass. Tonight we ordered dinner and it was terrible. Cheeseburger was super dry and had no flavor. The steak was undercooked and also had no flavor. My dogs were satisfied with it. We will not be back.

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.

I’m giving it a 3 and not a 1 because the waitress wasn’t rude or anything and she did great. 😌 The food was also good. 🍔 However I cannot for the life of me understand where the owners got the audacity to advertise as much as they do. If I’m getting advertised to this much the food should be free. Absolutely wild that they’re about to start advertising on their mugs as well 🤦🏽‍♂️
