Ad Astra Cantina & Steakhouse

We have heard so many great things about Ad Astra that we decided to take the drive out. Our experience was overall good. This was a different feel and atmosphere than we were expecting. The food was more pricey for the area and we had a moment of disappointment when one of our half pound Burgers came out shy of a half pound, another table had juiced plump truly half pound looking burgers and only 1 of ours turned out that way. Overall we all enjoyed our meals, as we reflected after the initial disappointment with the burger, we were overall happy with the service and meal.

What a quaint, warm restaurant in the Flint Hills offering incredibly delicious steaks plus other dinner options. My steak was pure perfection, and the atmosphere is so cozy and comforting. Staff were super kind. Chef came out to say hi and ask how I liked the steak. An awesome all-around dining experience!

Smaller portions and we're out of some things. Almost all sandwiches. The price of the basket vs the chicken sandwich didn't make too much sense. Very friendly and the grilled cheese was good.

I've lived in Kansas for 14yrs and this is the best burger I've had here! I got the Bison Burger with Onion rings and my son got the Steak with Steak fries! Everything was absolutely delicious and I'm a big foodie! The people were great including the other customers that bought my son dessert! If we are ever back in town we will definitely eat here again! Thank you for a great night!

First time visiting, I'll definitely be back, had the prime steak and it was cooked exactly as ordered, flavorful, tender and properly portioned. The appetizer of roasted brussel sprouts was actually very good (assuming you like them at all of course) and the limeade was great. The owner was friendly and attentive. I like out of the way unique places but of course they have to be good, this checked all the boxes for sure.

I had read in an online rating article that Ad Astra steaks were in the top 5 in the state. I took a friend from topeka to visit the Cottonwood Falls area and planned on having lunch at your restaurant. We both ordered the "special" for lunch. I am sorry to say that your steaks were not even close to a top 25 steak in Kansas. It was meh. Additionally, your server was very uninvolved with our service. I did expect her to ask us about our meals after we were served. That never happened. 🤔 In retrospect, my friend and I both agreed that we should have got the burgers.

We really enjoyed our meals here. Our waitress was excellent, the food was amazing. The bison burger that I had was perfectly cooked, my wife also said that the rueben was great. We both had the sweet potato fries, they were very good. We would highly recommend Ad Astra to anyone looking for a great meal in a small town atmosphere. We will return next time we are in the area.

Haven’t been here in years, must be under new ownership. $16 for chicken strips? They were the cheapest chick and fries you could find. Fries were undercooked and gross. Bison burger was small, Rueben was almost meatless for $20? We will NEVER be back. Service was fine but the food is absolute garbage, quality and portions.
