Poplar Pizza

This is a great hidden gem in Howard, KS. Friendly family staff and a welcoming community. They have simple, down home cooking, coupled with excellent pizzas that leverage their Buffalo New York roots and experience. They have a small bar area set up for after work or weekend entertaining. And a large space in the rear of the building for overflow capacity or usage by large groups. It's worth the drive to visit Poplar Pizza!

Poplar Pizza Crab Boil is one of the most prominent "which one of these things, doesn't belong here" examples EVER! While the legs are growing smaller as time progresses...the shrimp boil is still over the top GREAT! The steaks and chicken are a WOW as well! Haven't ever had the pizza, but I bet its quite good as well! We have been and will be back again.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!! The Howard restaurant was frigid! I was cold and uncomfortable the entire time. The food was overpriced, and the menu was inaccurate. We ordered the chicken fried chicken, and it stated on the menu that it came with mashed potatoes and green beans. We didn't get either. The salt and pepper shakers were covered in grime, and the wall next to our table had dried food splatter all over it. The only saving grace to this dilapidated joint was the delicious chocolate and freeze dried candy sold in the front. UPDATE: The owners' response to my review was unprofessional and rude, to say the least. A lot like their service. To clarify my review, the service was unfriendly (no smiles) and never stopped after delivering our meal to the table to ask how our food was or offer refills on our drinks. Our appetizer was delivered with the meal as opposed to before the meal. My fiance and I were able to see the thermostat above the bar on the wall by the restrooms, and it clearly read 67, not 70. I also didn't receive an explanation for the dirty salt and pepper shakers on the table or the visible food on the walls. The excuse for it being a 120 year old building is just that, an excuse. That being the case, those are maintenance issues that need to be addressed. And to answer your inquiry directly, no, this isn't my first disappointment nor my last. Corporate, private, small business, etc. In our economy, most of us work too hard for our money, so I leave honest reviews so customers will know what they're considering spending their hard earned money on before they spend it. The biggest disappointment in this whole experience was your comments, which were obviously made by someone who isn't able to handle criticism. If you can't handle the heat, don't own the kitchen.

We had a large party and the accommodations were great. The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were tasty too! We had the pizza, wings, and a variety of other foods. Everyone was extremely satisfied. It was also good as leftovers the next day.

Wow! What a fantastic little restaurant in quaint downtown Howard KS. An extensive menu with something for everyone. I am a vegetarian, had a lovely white pizza with tomato and onion. Others in my group had a seafood platter, hot wings, and fried chicken platters. They do feature a bar so enjoy an adult beverage if you wish, the beer is ice cold. Great dessert choices and polite servers and cooks round out this perfect stop. A+
