At Gella’s Diner + LB Brewing Co. in Hays, Kansas, the concept of a brewpub is taken to a cheeky new level. The place serves up a steady lineup of house‑brewed wonders—most notably the No. 08 Lemon Ale, crisp enough to make your taste buds feel like they’ve been on a brisk walk, and the No. 06 Oatmeal Stout, as dark and comforting as a well‑worn leather armchair. Both have collected awards that would make any beer‑snob raise an appreciative eyebrow.
The menu refuses to be boring, marrying classic diner comfort with a twist of imagination. The Brewben sandwich is a masterpiece of meat and malt, while the Gebble appetizer has earned a loyal following for good reason. Dessert isn’t an afterthought either; the Brûlée French toast arrives caramelised and decadent, proving that sweet endings can be just as inventive as the brews themselves (they’ve been polishing their taps for years). Service is unfailingly friendly, and the free street parking means you can stroll in without hunting for a spot. In short, Gella’s offers a rare blend of quality craftsmanship and relaxed charm—exactly the sort of place that makes you think, “why haven’t I been here all my life?”
Gella's Diner is a hidden gem with excellent food, pleasant atmosphere, and great service, despite minor cleaning issues. LB Brewing offers tasty beers and fantastic food, including standout dishes like the pork chop and French toast, in an atmosphere with many awards and friendly staff.
