Walk down Council Grove's Main Street and a distinctive building immediately stands out from the other businesses. It's evident this is no ordinary restaurant. This is the Hays House and it is the oldest continuously operating restaurant west of the Mighty Mississippi. So if you want a little history along with your fried chicken or your bacon wrapped filet mignon, you've come to the right place. The Hays House provides several dining atmospheres. The main dining room is perfect for family dining. The Hays Tavern has an elegant and congenial atmosphere. We invite you to join us for breakfast, lunch or dinner, relax with a glass of wine from our extensive wine list and enjoy wonderful homemade Midwest fare in a friendly environment.
