40 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!“

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

“Don't sleep on this place, their food is all good, ALL OF IT! This is definitely a hidden gem of Topeka. Parking is limited but its worth the walk if you have to park at Apple Market across the street. The reuben sandwich was to die for as well as the fried mushrooms. They cook their eggs to perfection and the meat is phenomenal. The atmosphere is very fun, family owned restaurant and small town feel is addictive in this current climate where everything is go go go. Love this place and will definitely be back! 5 stars all the way!!!“

“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!“

“Best double cheeseburger (any cheeseburger) I have ever ate. I have been eating there since I was a child & have never been disappointed. Just the thought of their food makes my mouth water. All their food is so scrumptious. Prices are very inexpensive & staff is always amazing, especially the owner Suzy. Now my mouth is watering and im off to get my favorite a double cheeseburger, fried cauliflower and strawberry pop.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“good easy burgers will be back again“

“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.“

“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.?☮?“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and good specials. A must visit for the pool player!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks Perfect place to meet up with friends Relaxed atmosphere“

“I love Mom & Pop style restaurants. This place has amazing homestyle food. i m9ved out of the country for work, when I visit family in Topeka this is the first place I go.“

“I got a container of sauce that was amazing with my to go order, it was white and tasted like garlic and some thing, it was good, wonder what it was.“

“Great food the pancakes are huge. And the service was cery good and friendly.“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic service and food. Attended a large family event the waitress and service was excellent. Food was fresh, hot and served all together. The Vikings Grille will always be my favorite.“

“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.“

“My daughter and I have only been here for breakfast but we love the food. She gets the corn beef hash and we split biscuits and gravy. I’ve had omelettes. Great selection!“

“The prime rib is phenomenal! Go early to find a seat because it does get busy. The bar staff is amazing and work hard to make sure your experience is great!“

“I was an over the road truck driver for 12 years and have dined at Cracker Barrel is restaurants all over this great nation. I've never had a bad experience at any of them. Nothing but excellent service, excellent food, and excellent atmosphere at every one of them. And the Topeka location is right up there with the best of them.“

“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!“

“Up until a couple of weeks ago, it had been a Long Time, since I'd eaten at the Blind Tiger.
Two Weeks ago I ordered the 'Texas Roadrunner'... and WOW ! It was beyond scrumptious !! The BBQ Brisket had an amazing flavor and was so tender... the Chicken Breast could have possibly been a bit 'dry', but it was really hard to tell with the melted cheese and sauce, which more than compensated. The food literally melted in my mouth is was soooo good!
Because of this experience, when I was back in town, I had to swing by the BT again, and this time I had the Brisket Platter... which again didn't disappoint. In fact it was sooo good and filling, I had to take the loaded baked potato home and devoured it for lunch the next day.
If you've not been to Blind Tiger for a while, I HIGHLY recommend you go by and check it out! Y U M !!!“

“Wonderful staff and great food! Weekly specials are always a nice surprise too!“
