Combining two destination and legacy restaurants into one location is the goal of Chuck and Deanna Munson, Munson Angus Farms and Munson’s Prime steakhouse. The Munson family is purchasing the Brookville Hotel in Abilene, Kansas, and will reopen the restaurant as Legacy Kansas on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
Initially, the restaurant will feature the Brookville Hotel’s world-famous family-style fried chicken dinners, while adding in hand-breaded country fried steak from Munson Angus Farms. Within the next year, customers will also be able to enjoy Munson Angus Farms’ award-winning steaks, gourmet burgers, and homemade ice cream featuring a replica of Munson’s Prime Steakhouse’s iconic ice cream maker.
“It is important for us to reopen for the summer travel season,” said Deanna Munson, Legacy Kansas. “We will continue to work over the coming months to expand our menu featuring our locally-raised Angus beef.”
Legacy Kansas customers will also see familiar faces when they dine. Former Brookville Hotel owners, Mark and Connie Martin, are returning to support the reopening and new concept.
“Munson Angus Farms started in 1869 and the Brookville Hotel opened in 1870,” Munson said. “It is important for both the Munson and Martin families to continue their legacies.”
