Restaurants near Auburn

“My FAV”

“Always love Gambino's, and the Auburn location was a nice treat after a long work day in the area. Thanks for a great meal and we appreciate your hospitality! Will definitely come back when we are in town again.”

“If you haven't tried it you are missing out! I am so addicted to their fruit bowls! They are amazing!! Extremely friendly, clean and relaxing environment! Must try!”

“I walked into Circle Coffee for the first time ( all bright eyed and not decaffeinated, and I totally forgot to ask for my coffee decaf ( or what my sister calls sad coffee). By the time I realized, they’d already made my coffee and I was walking out the door— but instead of giving me the “well that’s on you” look, they smiled, told me to gift the original to a coworker ( who now thinks I’m the nicest person alive) and made me a fresh decaf for free. Heroes are baristas apparently. The shop itself is a whole vibe — calm, great lighting and welcoming atmosphere—enough ambiance to trick me into thinking I’m the kind of person who journals daily or could write a novel. Also, do NOT sleep on the strawberry goat cheese danish. It’s seriously delicious. I took one bite and considered writing it into my will. Life changing and I’m probably emotionally attached to it now. This place has great vibes, great people, and even better coffee and pastries. Highly recommend.”

“This is the best place in Topeka.”

“I love this restaurant. Great Indian food. Tikka Massala is my favorite.”

“Are at the flying monkey tavern at the pennant. Have the chips and queso and a double bacon me crazy burger. Was a really good burger fries were crispy. The chips and queso was excellent as well. The whole menu looked great and was hard to choose what to get for my meal.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pineapple Dream is a Topeka gem! 🍍 Their Dole Whip is creamy, refreshing, and topped with fresh fruit that makes every bite perfect. Friendly service and a cheerful vibe — I’ll definitely be back!”

“I’ve only visited once so far, and they really impressed me! We ended up getting our cookies sooner than expected and you could even see how the cookies are made in the back.”

“The food is delicious, affordable and made with care. Great specials. So glad to have this place in Topeka!”

“Wonderful service, fantastic food, generous portion sizes. Best biscuits I’ve had in Kansas (I’m from the south) and almost requested another batch to take home. It felt like an insult to not finish all my food! But like I said, the portion sizes are VERY generous, especially for the price. The servers/hostess are so so kind! I so impressed by the customer service.”

“Everyone I bring here loves it, and I've been here about 7 times myself. With the dwindling selection of good food joints in this town, I think this place solid choice.”

“Wow... 'da WINGS! are amazing!”

“The pizza is great, love the baked potato pizza. Service is very good as well. Prices are a bit inflated, but I suppose that's par for the course for eating out anywhere anymore...”

“We love the food at Indian Bistro, the spices are spot on and each dish is unique and delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is well run and clean. My kids love it too!”

“Best sushi in town. Local business. The owners and staff are great. My wife and daughter love the hibachi. Extra points for an actual sake menu.”

“Food is some of the best in the area. Craft beer was good. Wish they had a stout though.”

“A Sanctuary of Warmth and Community – Café Quetzal There are places in the world that remind you what it means to belong. Café Quetzal is one of them. Step inside, and the chaos of the outside world fades into the background—replaced by the rich aroma of fresh coffee, the hum of friendly conversation, and the warmth of a space built on inclusivity and connection. The first thing you notice is the sense of welcome. A pride flag waves gently in the window, a symbol of the café’s unwavering commitment to community, acceptance, and love. It’s a space where all are embraced, where laughter spills across tables, and where a simple cup of coffee feels like an act of kindness. Outside, the world is unpredictable—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes absurd, like the shadow of a dinosaur stretching across the pavement. But inside, there is sanctuary. Here, you are met with smiling faces, vibrant art, and the kind of small but significant comforts that make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of reflection, deep conversation, or just a really good cup of coffee, Café Quetzal delivers on every level. It’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a refuge. A place where warmth, love, and hope are always on the menu.”

“The pillar of my lunch break for the last decade. Forgot my wallet one time and they covered my meal for me. Check out the weekly specials and the creamy potato soup. If it's goulash, I get it every day of the week. 10/10ths”

“Wonderful place for coffee & other drinks. However, they give you absolutely no time to order your drinks then when you want to look at the menu they just stand there impatiently while you choose something to drink.”

“Their decorations for holidays are so fun! Great atmosphere and great food!”

“Great food, coffee, and service!”

“We have been regular customers for years. The food is authentic, delicious, and served hot! Awesome service every time. My favorite is the Chicken Burrito Grande (pictured).”

“My fiancé, son and I decided to have lunch at Ta Co. today and it was delicious!! Servings are generous, food was ready quickly, service was excellent. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure!”

“My daughters and I had lunch at Piasano's today. The food was delicious and the service was a 10/10. If you dine there, ask for Marc (with a c), the French man, for your waiter. He was a delight. Thank you Marc.”

“Best donuts in Topeka Kansas”

“I was grateful to the staff who accommodated a family member with allergies. I asked the person who made the shrimp sandwich to change gloves due to a seafood allergy and the potential of cross contamination. To my surprise, not only did he change them but all the employees changed their gloves to keep him safe. I never like to have special requests but I was so thankful for their kindness and compassion. Plus the meal was great! Thanks Jason’s Deli!”

“This place is SO good. The BEST pizza and the best customer service. Emma is excellent remade a pizza for me with a smile.”

“Great home cooking 😋 Love the atmosphere "John Wayne" very laid-back and relaxing ❤️ Favorite place to eat 👍”

“Over due reviews: I did not make my own cake for my own wedding and decided to go with the next best thing in my opinion, Nothing Bundt Cakes! I ordered 2 of every flavor including gluten free and the flavor of the month. There was absolutely nothing left at the end of the night. AmAzInGlY delicious for my sweet dessert and was perfect. 🥰😍”
