Don’s Steakhouse in Lawrence still looking for a buyer

Looking to open a new restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas? Lawrence realtor Kelvin Heck — with Grubb & Ellis — is looking for you. Heck is listing the location at 2176 East 23rd Street that was formerly occupied by Don’s Steakhouse.

The building is now being rented out to antique dealers, but when the restaurant was in its heyday, in the 1970s, it was considered one of the best steakhouses in Lawrence, favored by sportswriters who traveled the “Big Eight” beat.

Heck says that plenty of people have looked at the location, “but no one is building new restaurants these days.”
