Bright and shiny new restaurants are great, but old-fashioned restaurants in Kansas often take the cake for having great food and wonderful atmospheres to make you feel comfortable. One of our favorite tried-and-true eateries is Christy’s Tasty Queen in Kansas City. This unique spot has been serving up famous tenderloins and more for nearly 40 years and has so much charm and nostalgia for many KCK residents. It feels like a step back in time, and it’s so old-fashioned that you won’t even find a website for Christy’s Tasty Queen. Check it out:
Christy’s Tasty Queen opened up in Kansas City’s Turner neighborhood in 1983. The place isn’t very big - most people eat in their cars or either take the food back home, but you can also dine on the picnic tables outside if the weather’s nice.

Inside, you’ll find a simple counter where you’ll order your food. There’s no inside seating here, and the menu is fairly simple. Things haven’t changed much since the opening day nearly 40 years ago!

The menu is filled with simple dishes like burgers, tacos, hot dogs, sandwiches, and onion rings on the menu. The foods are all simple grab-and-go-type items, which is great for the to-go format.

The star of the show here is the pork tenderloin. It’s massive, and many claim it’s the best tenderloin in Kansas!

You can opt for your pork to be fried or grilled, though the fried ones are the most popular.
