31 Best American Restaurants in Topeka

“Love the pop up shop “Charlie and the cocktail factory” Luis did a great job serving and the hot wings were fantastic. Fries were “meh” but those are hit and miss with a big family meal/timing. Overall the Mac and Cheese is always top notch and a family favorite. It was a birthday meal and kids always come down to pennant for those!Kid-friendliness: Our kids are 6 yo and autistic, 21 and 19. They love the games at the pennant while they wait for food and I love hitting all the set up spaces for selfies(stations?) either way we all love it and it’s definitely kid friendly with all the 80’s arcade games.“

“Had the Chili and cold plate sandwich. Nice to see the ol place fixed up. Chili was very hearty, sandwich was a heavy stack of meats along with hot and sweet pickles. Washed it down with a couple beers... Definitely not the same as before but darn good all on it's own.“

“My wife woke up Sunday morning with an urge for bacon, so I told her I would get up and cook her some bacon. I asked if she wanted some eggs with her bacon and she said sure, but then decided she wanted someone else to cook for her. I don't know if that is something against my cooking or what, but we decided to go to the Iron Rail for brunch. I had the breakfast bowl and she had the big breakfast with pancakes. Of course I had to get her the Pig Rig! Everything was just great. Food was spot on, the atmosphere was great and we had great service! Guess my breakfast cooking days are over! I would highly recommend the Iron Rail!“

“Visited and impressed by service food was good.a servicer Taylor C was very friendly and helpful“

“Warm atmosphere. The server Sherry was fantastic. Made us feel right at home! The food was delicious and the biscuits were incredible. We got a chicken fried steak bowl and a corned beef bowl. Both were awesome. Meals came out very quickly. 10/10 I would definitely come back when in town.“

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

“Such an amazing breath taking experience couldn’t be happier. This was the all around best dining experience I’ve ever had from every angle. This will become a new regular for me just wow Adam and his wife Kasie are spectacular and their entire team I can’t believe this is in Topeka, Kansas. They are not getting enough recognition for what they have done and are continuing to do daily.“

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

“We traveled from wichita for a appt. And im so glad we stopped here for lunch. It came highly recommended and it was 5 stars on the food and service. They even gave my little girls each a kaleidoscope. Hope to be back soon so we can visit and try some more things on the menu.Kid-friendliness: Love the lady who interacted with my girls. She was very sweet and made my girls day.“

“good easy burgers will be back again“

“Homestyle cooking at its finest! This place has excellent breakfast and the Chicken Fried Chicken/Steak are both delicious. Everything I've tried here so far has been good. Don't go to the national chains support local and try Cook's next time you're in mood for say Cracker Barrel go here “

“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.?☮?“

“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.“

“Great waitress and the food was delicious! Chicken fried steak with baked potato and green beans. Rolls with butter were perfect!“

“One the best Mexican restaurants in Kansas. Great salsa especially the Verde if you wanna spice it up. Some of my favorites include Chile Verde(only available when they have it on special) Ranchero Plater and Cartinas Plater, and Macho burrito which is smothered with queso and filled with choice of meat, rice, beans, cheese lettuce and tomatoes. Breakfast here is delicious as well the Chorizo burrito or Plate is the bees knees.“

“Always great food and friendly staff.“

“Great please to eat and great atmosphere wish we lived closer it would be our place to eat and hang out.“

“My husband & I stopped in tonight & we’re very happy with every aspect of this unique North Topeka establishment. Bartender was very friendly & went out of his way to describe the beer selections, which BTW are excellent. We had a great waitress & every bite of our Swedish sausage stroganoff & meatball & veggie soup was to die for but then we ordered sticky toffee pudding & now we’re in Heaven! Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“Imma be honest, some of my experiences with Red Robin have been rough. Last night was completely perfect, our waiter G was incredible from starter to dessert! G was professional and kind to my family especially my son, asking him what he would like and if he needed anything extra. My fiance and I shared an appetizer and split a meal. G brought our plates split perfectly, he kept us topped up on drinks and ranch the entire time. I can't process regular potatoes so G made sure I got sweet potato fries whenever I needed. My son wanted a sundae for dessert and when he declined chocolate syrup, G made sure to ask if he wanted any of the other syrups available, then made sure he got the sundae he wanted with the sprinkles and whipped topping he asked for. Make sure you tip well when you get a server like G!“

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

“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.“

“Always a great meal and delicious cocktails! Owners and good people and wait staff is attentive and polite!“

“They closed and reopened. For years this place had good bar food for really good prices. Now, half the menu is offered and everything is higher priced. The burger wasn't the same at all it seemed to me and yeah, pretty much everything that made me eat here is gone. And while I had lunch it was me, my friend, and about 12 60+ year old people creating a seriously geriatric atmosphere. Sorry but if I'm gonna bother with any reviews I'm not gonna lie. Besides the food and bar they got 2 whole pool tables.“

“It was 8pm this time, and kitchen closes at 9,Food, steak, Fish, wings, was all good as expected except the breading on the fish this time, it was not as crispy and delicious as usually.Service was super good as always.Regardless, we will be back, hopefully a little sooner than 8pm next time.Definitely appreciated being able to eat dinner ina nice place after a long workday.“

“It could have been 5 stars and I hope our next visit is. We arrived before the dinner rush but were set in a small section next to the bar....the table above us could look down at our table and so close we could each hear every word said. Just had hoped for more privacy. The ribeye meal was excellent and the chocolate dessert was even better. We had good service and the biggest fail was the appetizer we ordered was not brought out and when the meal came the server blamed it on the kitchen staff not preparing the appetizer or bringing it to us. Fingers crossed next visit we will get that appetizer!“

“A friend of mine had his 60th Birthday Party in the Party Room. There were plenty of high top table, booths in there to accommodate large groups. Our waitress Jess did great with drinks and food orders. I ordered the mild wings which came out fresh and hot. I usually order extra crispy but forget this time-they were still delicious!“

“great food, good service“

“First time here! It was very busy but the owner Billy took time to stop by to say hi. Great service, Great food, especially the French dip burger! Prices were so reasonable. We will be back the next time we are in the area. Thanks Billy for the hospitality!“

“Nice little taco/ Mexican spot in Topeka. Was up for the weekend and had good reviews so went and had "The thing", some really good queso and couple other things.
