50 Best American Restaurants in Topeka

“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.“

“Wow... 'da WINGS! are amazing!“

“Grate catering! I have used them twice and it is excellent!“

“In all my years of living in Topeka I had never eaten there. My son wanted to try it so we stopped in for lunch the other day. The guy at the counter was super friendly which is a rarity anymore in this town. The food came out quick and tasted great like a very good home cooked meal. A lady kindly took our plates and was just as friendly as the guy at the counter. They thanked us when we were leaving. I will begin to eat there more often.“

“Fabulous in every way!!! Great food, excellent service, amazing value“

“The food 🥘 is very good and the service comes with a smile 😃“

“PLEASE, please replace the barstools at the bar!! They are wobbly and I am afraid of crashing to the floor every time I sit on any of them. We love sitting at the bar to watch games so please do this for your regulars. Otherwise, the service and food is great. Give this place a try. Just beware of sitting at the bar.“

“we got gift cards and live out of town, but decided to give it a try and it was fantastic, the shrimp wonton was incredible and the chipotle chicken quesadilla was very good. even the side salad was really good. our server Kevin was really friendly and helpful as we had questions about the menu.we will be coming back soon .thanks for a great meal.“

“Fresh hot food! And it literally stayed hot the entire time we ate here! The chef was very accommodating to our requests amd the staff were amazingly patient and friendly! Atmosphere is like your neighborhood pizzeria! Will be continuing to go here for years to come!“

“I had the oxtails with a side of gumbo, and my wife had the shrimp and okra. Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Homemade pies with classic crust, made fresh daily. Classic American cuisine, home style, including excellent burgers, chicken-fried steak etc. Portion sizes are generous, too, so consider ordering your pie as an appetizer! We found Annie's when in town for the Mulvane Art Fair recently and could not get enough of it - a hidden gem in Topeka.“

“Fast service No waiting Quiet Good food No traffic...far from Wanamaker corridor.“

“We had a lovely meal at the White Linen. I enjoyed their eclectic menu offerings. It was one of the better fine dining experiences I've had in Kansas. I would definitely try their Chef's table in future for something a little different!“

“Culver’s caught me off guard in the best way. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss ButterBurger just to try something different—and now I’m hooked. The burger was juicy, buttery, and packed with flavor. The mushrooms weren’t the usual soggy mess either—they were legit. Honestly, I don’t get why this place isn’t more popular. It’s way better than most fast food out there. If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and pull up. It’s a sleeper hit.“

“Do not let this place fool you. They may be small, but they have a fully equipped kitchen dishing out delicious food! We spent 19 dollars and got 3 double cheeseburgers and two large fries. My only regret is that I didn't get another burger! It was so good!“

“Nice place! Cheese burger great! Will come again next time 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.“

“good easy burgers will be back again“

“This place is clean and they are extremely nice! I had the Tacos al Pastor! Omg then omg again! They are the best I’ve ever had! Rice, beans, guacamole and salsa all on point! Will go again! Thanks!“

“Tiramisu was the best Pizza is amazing Original crust is made with love“

“Love this place. The honey garlic wings are amazing. Drinks are priced well and the tables are top notch. I just wish I understood league night on Friday better and which tables are open and not. That's on me though for not asking.“

“This was our first ever visit to Longhorn. Have been to many a steakhouse but this was one of the best for many reasons. \nGreat decor and ambience and friendly from the minute we walked in the door. \nCharlie at the bar was welcoming and makes a great Old Fashioned. \nBut the star of the show was the food further enjoyed thanks to the great service of Sabryn. Lobster chowder was superb, Brussels very tasty with the perfect char, and broccoli perfectly steamed. Standing above all of it was the Longhorn Porterhouse—well seasoned and actually served rare with a great sear. \nNever felt rushed, service by Sabryn was timely with a great smile and friendly conversation, and noise level was well contained to allow easy visiting. \nDon’t have one of these where we live but will definitely return when possible.\nAnd to top it all off, prices were actually quite reasonable.“

“We stopped for the first time today. We live in the Wichita area, doing a road trip. Food was delicious, our waitress was great, the only one working, and at 3 in the afternoon they were busy!! She did a great job. We will definitely stop again.?☮?“

“Love coming to Abigail’s after working night shift. It’s peaceful for breakfast and drinks in the morning and of course, you gotta love Penny, my favorite bartender. I can’t decide if I like the food or service better. Either way, It’s an every week thing for me. My work crew thanks you Penny for starting our morning off right.“

“Was in Friday the food was good but I had been on their website and sure wanted chicken fried steak or taco salad which they had showed I have heard they changed hands so don't have any of these iteam anymore well they need to update their website“

“I am revising my review. This used to be my favorite place. This last time we were there was my final straw. The fries were cold and mushy my burger was dry and we ordered more fries and they never came. I love mushroom burgers and this was the worst one I have had in my life thus far. Definitely not the Red Robin I know and love.“

“The Food here can't be beat it's a little gem! Seriously, lots of fresh made food that is amazing. Great Prices, generous portions, and wait staff is always kind and courteous! Try the Super Nachos, yummy.

Parking: Tons of great parking. Huge

Kid-friendliness: We've taken our kids to plenty of events in Skinnys Party room, and it's alway nice and good food!“

“The customer service I received this sunday at Perkin’s was phenomenal. I went out to eat with my mother in law and my infant son. He is at the teething age therefore he is quite cranky. The entire beginning of us getting there and ordering was filled with him crying (which is not fun in a restaurant). Once our meals came, a sweet older lady who is a team lead there, came to our table and offered to hold my crying son so I can eat. She said that I needed it. Not once has this type of customer service been offered to me anywhere else. I will remember this moment for a long time.“

“10/10 food and service was great! Pizza is so good 😍😍 No complaints ☺️“

“Great steak and shrimp. Will be going back for more“

“After giving Blind Tiger another chance, I am happy to say the chicken fried chicken steak and gravy were delicious and piping hot. The coating on the seasoned fries was very good, too. My slight complaint is the fries weren't served hot but the chicken made up for it. Chicken fingers and fries were also very good. His fries were nice and warm. Service was solid. Great Pepsi with plenty of carbonation. If my fries had been hot, the review would be 5 Stars but I can say we are delighted with the improvement from our last visit. Keep up the good work, Blind Tiger, and thank you for a pleasant, relaxing Sunday meal!“

“I love Golden corral yeah all the food that you want if you have certain purposes then you can get what you want and it'll help with your diet or whatever you're on and stuff is good thank you Golden corral for being the good place that you are

Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy to get the wheelchairs to play something to be and being a disabled person on the cane it's easy to get to the places that you need to get to and the workers are willing to help you if you can't do it yourself 🙏 thank you Golden corral for being conscious about the people that are disabled“
