Southeast Kansas is known for its fried chicken and Barto’s is one of the best. The onion rings are good. Prices are extremely reasonable. Much of the food here is fried, so be prepared.

the atmosphere is comfortable, cheap drinks, awesome hot food, great staff and excellent service. love this place for a hole in the wall type resturant

this is the best chicken you will get in america. All the chicken places near by come in second and they are all well deserved but this is the top. Every where else is amazing, but this is THE BEST!

One of the best places for fried chicken anywhere and I have been to many places across the country. Love to go there on the weekend when they have a live band. Great staff. Might have to wait sometime but it is worth the wait.

I gave Barto’s Chicken 3 tries Within about 6 weeks. I tried the chicken and it was ok but not anything special. Tried the onion rings. They were ok also. I tried the burger. Ok. Potato salad. Ok. I know Barto’s has been in Frontenac...for many decades and I guess enough people like it to keep it going. It just wasn’t anything special for me. I can get better food other places. Probably won’t go back a fourth time.More

Ok chicken Bad sides if you don't like vinegar don't go there Potato salad was potatoes and vinegar same with the slaw

One thing Southeast Kansas is famous for is fried chicken and nobody does it better than Bartos! Come on a Friday night for great food, live polka music, good beverages and great people. They also have great steaks.

The décor is still in the 1970s but the food is fabulous. We started with onion rings then had fried chicken with german slaw and potatoes. The chicken is a light coated fried chicken as opposed to so many that the coating is so thick...you can't taste the chicken. Best cole slaw I have had. It's only open evenings but if you are in the Pittsburg Kansas area it is worth going to.More

Have heard about Barto's for years and finally made the trip to give it a try. Older building & decor that is family owned & operated since 1951. Felt like I was visiting Grandmas. Food was good. We were provided a basket of sourdough bread...while we looked at the menu which had a wide range of options but we wanted to try their chicken as that's what was continuously going out the door bucket after bucket. Onion rings were light & crispy, not greasy. Fried chicken had thick, crispy breading while meat was moist & savory. German Potato salad & German cole slaw sides were good basic fare. Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. Prices were very reasonable especially for the amount of food we got.More

This place has been around since the early 1900's it has evolved to one of the local fun spots in Southeast Kansas. Don't let the name fool you,their specialty is fried chicken. Everything on the menu is good but the chicken is as good as...you can get. Their unique blend of seasonings makes it the best around. This family owned place has been around for generations and has a reputation far and wide. Friday and Saturday nights include live music and dancing. It could be country or the oldies but none of that extra loud extreme rock crap in this place. You will probably share the dance floor with age 70's or beyond or a couple of 6 year olds trying to emulate what the see around them. I guarantee this place is fun for all ages.More

What a great place to visit. Neat place off the beaten path with top notch food and service. Not a fancy place but very nice. Live music and help was fantastic. Very reasonable and large portions. A must stop if your in the area.

Barto's is the best fried chicken in the area. You will never go wrong in what you order. From fried chicken to steaks, Barto's is a good place to eat.
