Highly recommend this place, always a friendly smile when you walk in the door and great service throughout. We go every Sunday after church and have never been disappointed in the food; everything is just soooooo delicious. The portions are huge and it all tastes good ol down home cooked amazing. Early Edition is a must!

The first time I went to Early Edition was about one year and I enjoyed my experience, however it was also the EE on the west side. While in a nice location and a nice building with a reasonably sized dining room, the Ft Riley location fails to deliver. For the price this breakfast restaurant should be better than it is. The service was slacking from the time I entered the door. It took them a couple of minutes to seat us and then another 8 minutes just for the server to say Hi (while not busy). During these 8 minutes I was tinkering with the silverware and mugs on the table. The first coffee mug I grabbed was dirty, very noticeably so if one looked inside, the second mug was clean. I ordered the Colonel Skillet and was sadly disappointed. Not only was the skillet not hot, but the poached eggs I ordered were improperly cooked. I mentioned it to the waitress, but since I was short on time I didn't ask for new eggs and just had to make do. The Skillet was very unseasoned and tasted rather bland. As a result of my experience, it saddens me that a local establishment can't deliver a better breakfast than Denny's or Ihop.

Friendly staff, busy but only at 10min wait on a Sunday morning. I had "The Colonel" skillet, which consisted of crispy chicken, ham, green peppers, eggs and potatoes cover in hollandaise sauce. Delicious.

Usually I come here when the chef wait time is too long. I've never had bad service from this place and the food is pretty good. However today I was seated and waited 20 minutes for a server to come to the table and take our drink order. No server or manager ever came to the table so my party ended up getting up and leaving. Can definitely say I won't be going back.

Fyi... not open...in 5 months no one seemingly reported this? The one on Fort Riley Blvd was also not open... a Sunday at around 9:45am. Update: so apparently this breakfast focused place (as implied by the name) is not open on Sundays...that's a bit mind boggling. I did manage to eat at the Fort Riley location...so here's the review of the food and service. They don't have a sign saying anything about "please wait to be seated" so I stood there for a bit. The waitress doubling as a hostess was quick to see me and sat me. I ordered the Potato Eggs Benedict and some coffee. They were quick with the service and the eggs benedict was properly cooked (I've had many where it's more like a hard boiled egg). Though I do believe the potato eggs benedict was suppose to come with avocado. What I received, without verifying it with the menu again, was the plain eggs benedict. The hollandaise was bland. ..every tasted better once I doused pepper on it all. The potatoes were previously frozen french fry cubes, as I've been starting to call them since this seems to be all that exists in Manhattan. Just once I'd like real potatoes that are cooked in a skillet...the frozen things are what I'd expect from a hotel. The coffee tasted strangely close to Folgers instant coffee or Nescafe instant. While it's not a horrible taste, it definitely is different from a nice cup of freshly ground coffee. It's a diner so my expectations were already low for the coffee. Overall, I guess the place does the trick of filling my stomach, but no more than Denny's would. Though it's a local place, it falls short of standing out.

Pretty good food. Service was good. I think the only reason I'm not giving it the fifth star is because the atmosphere was a little off. Kind of felt like we were eating in a warehouse. But a warm warehouse with good breakfast!

All the basic components for a diner are here, but unfortunately it's as if the proprietors have decided that the basic components are sufficient. There's really nothing special about the food, and frankly the service is fairly poor. I always try a place a few times before I write a review, and do this is based upon more than one experience. The first time we went, at least 4 employees were sitting in a booth stocking supplies while our service was fairly slow. That, to me, is unacceptable. Obviously you have to stock, but perhaps out front with the customers during business hours isn't the right time or place. Nor is it reasonable to dedicate that many people to refilling salt shakers while your customers are waiting 10 minutes for coffee. More recently, our hostess dropped a stack of menus on the floor, in the middle of the walkway. Her response (audibly) was "whatever, it doesn't matter." Unfortunately, it does matter. It's not like someone insulted us, but things like this are the difference between a great restaurant that I want to frequent, and a mediocre diner that has the basics. Frankly, this place is an overflow from The Chef. We come when we don't want to wait in line at The Chef, and when it's been long enough that we have forgotten what kind of place this is. But it would take so little effort to be as good or better than The Chef, that it's frustrating even for me - and I have no vested interest in the place. Just a little bit more effort in the sausage gravy - you know, cooking the flour for another 45 seconds so that it tastes wonderful instead of like, well, flour. Adding maybe another $2 worth of actual sausage...not serving a breakfast burrito chock full of fried potatoes with a side of fried potatoes, teaching your cooks how to make a sunny-side-up egg (it shouldn't be half raw)...little things that could make this restaurant, with its better location and larger space, a great place. As is, it's a Denny's with poorly trained staff.

This place is fantastic! My wife and I are 23, and even t j tough this place is filled with grandparents, we love it. Good food, GREAT prices! We have only eaten breakfast, but I can imagine the lunch and dinner is just as good.

We stayed at the Hampton inn next door. We walked over to eat on a Saturday morning. I ordered the Cajun Skillet and blueberry pancakes. My wife ordered the Cat backer skillet. Really really good food. The sausage was amazing. Coffee hot and they left a full pot so I did not run out. The pancakes were huge with real fresh blueberries. If we come back to Manhattan again, we will Definitely eat here again.

I make a trip back to Kansas about every two years to visit friends and relatives (native of southeast Kansas who graduated from Kansas State University). Absolutely love eating at Early Edition!! Best eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine I've ever had! My kids love the waffles and pancakes. Wife always gets a great breakfast! We all love the food and comfortable setting. Have met friends here for breakfast on two visits and were allowed to linger and chat without getting rushed out (unlike some of the chain restaurants!) This is always a high point of my visit to K-State and Manhattan. Plus, there is a Phillips 66 gas station on the same plaza, so it's a convenient place for travelers! Highly recommend Early Edition!

First time at this location. I usually go to the one on the west side of town. Honestly got the feel of Denny's on this visit. The set up is wooden chairs and tables, very minimalistic decor with a somewhat cheap vibe. Anyways started off with the coffee. It's unlimited with a carafe at the table. The coffee wasn't that great, definitely not The Chef standards at all, it leaves a somewhat bitter burnt after taste. $1.89. I went with what I always order the skillet scramble (scrambled eggs over cheese, potatoes, bacon, sausage and covered in gravy). The waitress came back with what was supposed to be my order and said it was something else. When I told her that I ordered the skillet scramble she was like "that's what I meant, but there is one piece of cubed ham in it by mistake". I just said I will take it. Kind of weird to not take it back and give me the right order without the ham. Plus it didn't have any gravy on it so she said she would go get me a cup of gravy. So I am kind of doubting if I even got the right order? Anyways the skillet was good, the gravy not so much. It was lukewarm and tasted like it might have been from a package. The Chef has way better gravy. Also my dish comes with a side of toast and I ordered sourdough toast, the toast I got was white bread. Halfway through everyone eating the waitress comes by and asks if we want boxes...no, lady, we are still eating. About five minutes later she starts clearing dishes. 5 minutes later she comes by and asks if she can leave the check at the counter, to which we said ok. Seriously, she was trying to kick us out. There was two other tables in the entire restaurant. Ended up paying about $13 for breakfast which is a little steep for a local Denny's type place. And I hate Denny's. I would rather go to The Chef, pay the same amount for better food, better service and better ambience.

Been driving from California to Ohio and I have been eating chicken fried steak everytime we stopped. This is the best one so far.
