Toots Drive-In — Restaurant in Howard

This is a local joint. If you ever find yourself desiring a good burger in SE Kansas I suggest you swing by here.

Today’s special was the Minute Bun. What is a minute bun you ask? I did, and since this is a local thing I had to get it. It is like a sloppy Joe but not with any kind of sauce. The binder is instead onion powder.

So similar to an onion burger it isn’t by any means. The toppings are, yes toppings for a sloppy Joe conspired sandwich, pickles, onion, ketchup, and mustard.

Will absolutely return when in town - a must have try for the hungry or those who love delicious food.
