This was the first time my husband and I stopped here, the lady behind the counter was kind and the food was amazing! We ordered 2 Mushroom and swiss's and a thing of breaded mushrooms. Everything was great! We will definitely be visiting again.

I love the Hi-Way burger! It's the best burger that I've had in years! My wife loves their Road Kill pizza. Small town tavern atmosphere with friendly patrons.

I'm From Kansas City And I'm in town to visit friends and for work. But I had gotten pretty hungry so I looked for food near me and the closest one was hi way Inn. When I drove up to the inn I was a little on the questionable side but as soon as I walked in the atmosphere and the Very sweet and helpful waitress/bartender was very kind and I had no worries from then on I ordered and the food came out very quick and MAN the food was perfectly cooked and looked delicious I ordered breaded mushrooms and a mushroom and Swiss (yes I took some home lol ) but everything was so well I felt the need to tip the waitress and Cook it was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely go back when in town. Thank you hi way in for a great Mn Welcome and yummy food. P.s I even had to shake the cooks hand he was very awesome And yes he washed his hands after lol

I curb side ordered and it only took 15 minutes for my order. Fresh and hot just how i like it. Burgers where cooked on point too! Chef knows what hes doing. The mushroom swiss in the picture had a sauce that was to die for! Also the seasoned sour cream was a awesome pairing with the seasoned cross fries. Definitely returning to HI-way inn! Screw walzzz go support our small businesses! CCW friendly

My fave local bar. Me and my ma have ridden the horses up here, there's space to tie em in the back. Plenty of parking if you drive tho. The pizza is bomb. The bartenders are good company. Its cozy and just a good spot. Good specials too!
