39 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.“

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

“Wow... 'da WINGS! are amazing!“

“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!!!“

“The Pizza parlor in Oakland.
Is great food, wonderful place to meet friends and have a meal together. There's many options to choose from, but there's also a daily special every week.
I love to go on certain days for their special of the day.A must see and eat“

“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 have eaten there three times and the food has been amazing every time. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I'm visiting from Wisconsin. I love bar burgers. The Shack double cheese and chili fries exceeded my expectations. Well done my friends. I'll be back!“

“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!“

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

“good easy burgers will be back again“

“All of Annie’s place meals,food are very good!“

“Our Topeka Culver’s is the best - great tasting food, awesome customer service and the absolute best GM. Culver’s recently did a shared day for our Granddaughter Aspen’s reconstruction skull surgery and donated a portion of the sales to her. The outpouring of love from Culver’s and the community was awesome. Love Culver’s ❤️💜“

“Great little bar restaurant, ordered the fish and chips. The fish was great so was the cole slaw ! The chips / fries needed an extra few minutes in the fryer. The bartender/ waitress was awesome she waited 6 tables and 10 bar customers ! That lady needs a raise !!! She's awesome!!!“

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

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

“Danni was our server. Sorry if I didnt spell her name correctly. The food was brought out at the right times so we could enjoy every dish. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. Can't stop thinking about them. The meat was cooked to perfection! I like mine rare. Sorry I never can take a photo until I've enjoyed some. The lobster was not tuff and so delicious with the butter. Our server was a delight and didnt make us feel rushed even tho we came in an hour before close. It was our anniversary and we got a flat while heading to wanamaker for red lobster but the website said they close at 9. Longhorn took great care of us and made the evening wonderful.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“There are two times in my life where I haven't left a tip and 11/11/25was one of them. I and two of my co-workers and 3 of my special needs.Clients went to tailgaters for lunch. They were busy which was fine. My co-worker asked if they could wipe off a table for us.The waitress response was as soon as we can. My clients were well behaved and didn't cause any trouble. Later, the waitress came to our table and asked to take our order One of my clients was playing with the menu and laughing?She proceeded to put her hand on the menu and said enough of that.I already have a crying baby.Because there was a baby crying at another table. the waitress was very disrespectful and down right mean to us. she walked by her table several times did not stop to check on us , did not refill drinks and didn't even acknowledge that we were even there. It took forever to get our tickets and once we got our tickets.My co worker said we're ready to pay but the waitress proceeded to leave the table anyway. so we had to wait even longer for her to come back and take our tickets. We told another co-worker when we got back to the facility about what happened.He was upset and called the store. but our luck, the waitress who waited on us happened to be the manager and the owner.But we're wondering if that's even true. We were downright ignored and disrespected. I understand how frustrating it is work busy and shorthanded but that is no reason to be downright mean. We will not back. My agency had Tailgators on the schedule once a month but since this horrid waitress made us feel unwelcome and treated us like an inconvenience we will not be returning. A person shows their true character by how they treat the vulnerable.“

“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.“

“We had such a great experience thanks to our waiter, Ben! He was extremely friendly, checked in on us often, and made sure our food and drinks were perfect. It’s rare to find service that feels this genuine. We will definitely be coming back because of the excellent service! Thank you Ben!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food at a fair price“

“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.

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

“Since my first time at Townsite I have LOVED IT. Amalia at the register is so kind and the boys (&girls) in the back always cook up something good for the weekly special. I’ve never found something there I don’t like! Give them a try, and for convenience order ahead online!“
