RestaurantKatie’s Kantina
Cheese-crusted tacos rule; Chickles and pulled pork burritos deliver.

Juicy cheeseburger built from locally sourced beef hits the grill with a thick, springy bite. Crispy fries crackle at the edges as grease whispers through the air, while the 12 oz sirloin and 10 oz filet sit at a friendly $14 a notch. The joint wears rustic wood, a warm glow, and a crowd that laughs through karaoke nights—the vibe that keeps Wasta Bar buzzing after a long day in the prairie. It’s a bar that serves honest bites and a sense of community you can feel in every clink of a glass.
Skip the generic menu items and go straight for the Cheeseburger—locals swear by the locally sourced beef. For drinks, choose a local beer to pair with the fries.
This is a Post-Hike HQ turned social hub: casual, sturdy, and welcoming with a crowd that leans into karaoke and good company.
