Jefferson's Restaurant
- 743 Massachusetts Lawrence, KS 66044
- 785-832-2000

Description
An exceedingly friendly place to land with all kinds of great grub you can't get in most other bars around town - crab legs, crawfish, shell fish, catfish. Their burgers are the chronic and at $5 with fries, they're the town's best bargain. If the food doesn't draw you, maybe the waitresses will: let's just say they've all been blessed with the babitude.
And for some reason, people post dollar bills on the wall here. Go figure.

Jeffersons is another of the local must eats. Family and friends request to eat out there when there in town, mainly for the wings. With burger and wing specials on different days of the week Jeffersons is always crowded. Game days and weekends Jeffersons is overflowing so dont get mad at the wait or the line out the door, you have been warned. Thier seating is limited to about 20 tables, a mix of booths, small tables, and large 6-8 person high tables. Service can lack a bit at times, but is usually really good. Jeffersons has been a favorite of almost everyone who eats there since they opened about 7 years ago.

Good place to grab snacks...I wouldn't recommend for actual dinner. Jefferson's is great for having a beer and watching a game...like Buffalo Wild Wings, this place is almost tradition among the KU faithful. They don't have the seating capacity as many of the other sports bars in town...but they have a nice friendly environment.
The dollar bill tradition is borrow out from the irish bars.
Of the few places that server oysters...this is the only place in town where I trust to actually eat oysters! They have awesome finger food, and the beer is always fresh.
