I have been eating Barto’s Idle Hour on the restaurant side since I was born in 1971. I grew up eating Fried Chicken, German Patato Salad and Cole Slaw. We would always get a large order of Onion Rings, Fried Chicken Livers and Fried Chicken Gizzards. Oh, and the Frontenac Bread. My family always looked forward to going to Barto’s Chicken House. Every time we went there the food was awesome and hot, the service was great and I don’t care what anyone says about the atmosphere, I love it! I live in Wichita, Kansas and all of my family is now gone so I don’t get down to Frontenac, Kansas anymore. How I would love to eat there now. I have never had such good Fried Chicken before or since. There is no where in Wichita, Kansas to get food like that. Keep up the great work. May God bless you always!

If you’re looking for a fun atmosphere and great service, this will be one of your stops in the area. I gave it a three on food because I didn’t care for the breading on the chicken. Love the owners, so I don’t mean to criticize the one meal. Decide for yourself.

For those not in the know, you may choose to eat in the restaurant (north) side, or in the bar (south) side. The chicken, onion rings, etc. are delicious. Enjoy!

Had the 13 oz rib-eye, German slaw and tossed salad. It was great. Oh, and an appetizer of chicken livers. I wish we lived closer!

friend said this place is great and is correct. “The fried chicken is really good” including the pricing. The 13 oz rib eye is a good value at $16.99. I’d describe the steak as oven cooked which is fine just don’t expect a grilled type cut. Not sure if they offer it in more of a grilled type fashion however since they do burgers it seems likely they would. Live music started at 7:30 on the Friday of our visit. Nice dance floor with juke box and service was attentive.

Always good, but too hot. You have to wait a bit but ordering onion rings is more convenient then waiting for chicken

I have always loved their food. The chicken is hot when it comes out and it stays hot up until the time you’re almost finished with it. I give them a great big thumbs up

Entrance for Bar and restaurant are confusing with no color change to identify two different business under same roof. The food was good but the personality of the waitress was lack luster. The tables and atmosphere was cafeteria like. I was disappointed
