Sugar Shane's Café - Augusta, Kansas

We stopped in for lunch today and we're very pleased with our meal. We got a burger with grilled onions, and cole slaw on the side, and the Hawaiian Chicken sandwich with fries. We also got an order of onion rings.

The onion rings were massive. They were hot, fresh, and tasted amazing. The batter was flavorful and crispy. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfectly crispy. I loved the cole slaw. Both the burger and sandwich were really good as well. The portions are massive and we both had leftovers.

We will definitely be returning and highly recommend stopping in to Sugar Shane's!

Great experience for Dad+3 on the way home from a fishing trip to Butler Co. There was no wait for a table at lunchtime on a Monday. The wait staff was very patient with the kids and the apps and main courses were delivered quickly.
The large burgers were fantastic. I added a fried egg to my cheeseburger and that made it perfect.

We were looking for a good place to eat in Augusta, and our daughter said we should try Shane's. Certainly glad we did! The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was very unique. The decor feels like a down home restaurant on the Gulf coast with lights strung on the ceiling, posters and pictures of surfboards and other seaside items. The service was fast and friendly, with a real effort made to please the diner. Some of us ordered dinners, and some had burgers. it was all very tasty! I would like to mention the onion rings. I've had good rings and many bad rings, but these topped the charts. Simply amazing. The burgers are half=pound, so you'd better be hungry. Since our daughter has moved to Augusta, we will be making regular stops at Shane's.

Outstanding Experience at Sugar Shane’s – Augusta, KS

I had an amazing experience at Sugar Shane’s Café in Augusta today! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. But what really stood out was the exceptional service I received from Brandon at the bar. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. It’s rare to find that level of genuine hospitality these days, and Brandon delivered it with ease.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything from start to finish made me want to come back again soon. Hats off to the team at Sugar Shane’s — you’ve got a great thing going here!

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Nice small restaurant in the quaint town of Augusta. A cafe atmosphere with a very nice feel, the burgers and catfish we ordered were good. Fast friendly service, reasonably priced, unfortunately we were too full to try their desserts.
For a nice change of pace and simple but good food, I recommend trying this restaurant.
Ps. Definitely order the onion rings!

Update: 07/14/25 ☆ One star because I can't leave 0...I used to love this little place and was very excited to take my mom and sister here tonight before we went to see Tyrus... the experience was so bad I don't know if I'll ever go back. First, let me say I anticipated it being busy, so I intentionally called ahead and made a reservation. When I asked the girl taking the reservation, how early do you think we need to be there I anticipate it being busy before the show. She said, "Oh, 6:15-6:30 I think you'll be fine".. I said are you sure that's early enough. She said yes, so I set it for a booth at 6:15.. we got there at 6:18...got seated..took.a few minutes to order because mom and Courtney had never been there before and the waitress took foreverto comebackto our table. Our waitress brought our drinks over relatively quickly, however. After we got our drinks and our order placed, we didn't see her again except once. When we flagged down a different waitress to find out where ours was. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. Which came out in a timely manner. They were pretty good. But after that everything went downhill. By 7:00 we still hadn't gotten our food, by 7:10 we flagged down a different waitress to tell our waitress we needed her. She came over to the table and said oh you need refills on your drinks? We said no, we need our food. We're trying to get to the show that starts at 7:30! She said "oh well it's just overly busy. You know because of the show" We said, "Yes, we know,we're trying to get to the show too!" Oh okay, well I'll go check on it. She finally comes back and tells us that they moved our ticket to the front of the line. I'm like, front of the line?! We've been here for 45 minutes! People that were walk in's in got their orders ahead of us. Needless to say, it was extremely disappointing, and I highly doubt either myself, my sister, or my mother will ever go back. We finally told the lady we don't have time to wait anymore, make it to go, and we'll just take it with us... we should have just canceled it all together. Didn't get to eat my dinner until after I got home, which is now 10:30 pm... and I'm not impressed with what was in the Box either. That has got to be the skinniest chicken breast I've ever seen it's almost like they cut a chicken breast in half to make two fillets, and I only got one..and it was dry and overcooked. I definitely don't know why they called the blacked chicken bacon bomb because there was barely any bacon on it. I don't know how my mom's (hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and green beans) and my sister's (club sandwich, no tomatoes, with fries) came out because they had to go home after they dropped me off, so I might update this later after they tell me what they thought. I know for a fact they weren't happy about the service tonight. I spent a whole lot of money on a really bad experience, $56.00 on excuses and dry food.

Reply to *Owners response, just more excuses. You guys should have been better prepared knowing there was a big event in town. So, NO, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to the Chinese buffet or eat in Andover before we go..

05/22/22: ☆☆☆☆ Fun little spot. I got the Onion Rings for our appetizer, the Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes with White Gravy Side Salad and Ice Tea.. The chicken fried steak was pretty good, but the mashed potatoes were terrible, and the blue cheese dressing is awful. But our server was super nice!

So much fun!! Especially on karaoke night. The bartenders are fantastic and engage with the crowd as well as provide great service!

This place is really cool and rural America, a.k.a. Augusta, Kansas.

Think of the movie pulp fiction and the diner in that movie called Jack rabbit slims . With that in mind this place remind you of it he doesn’t have a big dance stage, but it does have a really eclectic and cool feel to it.

This place has an ample number of tables and booths, which happen to have white vinyl over them, which make it feel like some kind of 1957 Chevy.

From what I could see that even have out rental rooms for events and this place really has a cool vibe and you should do that.

The menu is just right on price and size. There’s not too many items but there’s plenty to give you a wide selection. A couple of us in our group had the taco salad, which really was very nice for taco salad.

If you’re in Augusta, Kansas, and you want a cool place with a great feeling friendly people and good food this is definitely the place to go.

The sign outside says world, famous, and this thing could be franchise so someday it might be.
