Jefferson’s Restaurant

743 Massachusetts St.

(785) 832-2000

From its famous hot wings to its juicy burgers and golden breaded oysters, Jefferson’s Restaurant serves plenty of good southern food. Dollar bills signed with magic markers line the walls and with four big screen TVs, you can easily watch KU basketball games from any seat in the place.

Price Range: Appetizers start at the $2.50 Basket ‘O Fries and up to the $7.25 Combo plate with cheese sticks, mushrooms, corn nuggets and onion rings. Sandwiches, served with a pickle spear and your choice of fries, coleslaw, barbecue beans or pasta salad, are all about $6.

Booze Availability: Jefferson’s carries more than 24 bottled beers and offers drink specials every day of the week. Thursdays are $1 draws and $5 pitchers, and Fridays are $2 wells.

Attire: Casual. Jefferson’s is a sports bar: the servers wear T-shirts and jeans and you can too.

Date-worthy: Not really. The music is a little loud and you are expected to use paper towels as napkins. So if you’re looking for something fancy, this is not your place. But if you’re looking for a fun, friendly atmosphere, Jefferson’s is your place.

• Jefferson’s waitress Amity File, Beloit senior, says that the wings and burgers are the most popular. You can get $0.30 wings on Wednesdays, Sundays and KU game days. Burgers are $4.50 on Mondays.
