The 15 Best Restaurants in Lawrence, Home of the University of Kansas

"To call Ladybird a local treasure is an understatement. Few places feel more quintessentially Lawrence than Meg Heriford’s cozy diner, known for its kitschy decor and fabulous pies. During the pandemic, Heriford closed her doors to patrons and ran a program to feed locals in need until vaccines made indoor dining safe again. Along with diner staples, you’ll find inventive takes on dishes like avocado toast, and the cooler months feature Bowl and Roll Fridays, starring the quirky combination of hearty chili and a cinnamon roll." - Erin Socha
