“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.“

“Grate hole in the wall fun place pool tables and live music, celebrating a friend's 22 birthday, was a experience to go and have a fun time and listen to a live band. Live karaoke, Caution ramp is slippery on the backside after rain. All good. There was a $5 cover charge when we went, was a fun experience. Friendly people there.“

“Warm and tasty. All good by the college.“

“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!“

“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 went there on a Monday night and it was a fun time! They had karaoke and that's always a blast. I'm not from the area so I just stopped in and everyone there was pretty welcoming. The bartenders were great. I went to another bar before this one just because it was closer to my hotel and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I would highly recommended this bar if you're looking for a bar with kinda that small town feel and looking for a fun time. Everyone was so laid back. If I ever end up in Topeka again I'll definitely go back.“

“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.“

“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.“
