Had a birthday dinner here on 08/11/2013. Not many people in the restaurant. Quiet atmosphere. Manager stopped by and asked if everything we ok. Got our drinks and food quickly. Food was very good and the portion size was just right. Waitress was attentive, kept our drink glasses filled and did a good job. We would eat here again.

We stopped here on New Year's Day on our way back from picking up my son from Kansas Encampment. We were seated promptly, our waitress was super sweet and kept our drinks filled, and the food was outstanding. Way better than the BWW in my area.

Service was quick and friendly a real down home feel. The food was AWESOME. Their pickle fries are to die for. Burgers were GREAT! And fries were spot on.

Ok we've gone there for years and I mean the last 10+ years. It's usually a great place to go and we usually enjoy ourselves. But the last few times have been regretful. We had a family dinner so we had our younger kids with us and they were yelling as kids do. And there was a big group next to us taking shots and being loud. We didn't complain, but our waitress went up to our 1 & 2 year old and told them to use their inside voices. All while this group next to us was taking shots and being loud af. I don't think we'll return anymore. Not very welcoming to families.

We stumbled on Jeremiah Bullfrogs while staying overnight in Topeka. This is a nice local bar and grill, friendly service and cool rowdy atmosphere with pool tables and dart boards, lots of tvs going with many channels. Worth going to for a beer and some noise.

Had lunch here recently, and had the Hangover Burger. I've never had a bad burger here, but had not tried the hangover one, (I didn't have a hangover), but this is a perfect burger. Wow! This is the kind of burger you dream of eating . . . it was cooked to perfection, juicy, hot, with an egg and other yummy condiments. Service good, atmosphere is good. One comment about the appetizer 'balls.' They serve different flavors of 'balls'.' The ball part is hashbrowns with mashed potatoes and other ingredients to have different flavors, served with a sauce. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, GET THE ATOMIC BALLS! I eat really hot and spicy food but clearly this is not for anyone but those who like self-inflicted pain. The heat came through my teeth, my throat, my eustachian tubes out of my ears!! I couldn't taste anything for a number of minutes. I advised them to sell a 'first-aid' kit as an option for those who order Atomic Balls. Aside from the warning about their Atomic Balls, enjoy the rest of the menu.

I come here once a week for a burger and fries and the brewed ice tea. You can make all of this at home and probably just as good, but for 10 bucks and a tip my wife doesn't have to clean up the mess! The Shack has a comfortable small town vibe. They serve far more food than beer, and no hard liquor so it remains family friendly.

Though I live in Topeka, I have only been to the Celtic Fox on a handful of occasions. Twice we were there for family get togethers. The Celtic Fox has a great meeting/party room with no charge to reserve it. Recently they catered our Retirement/Birthday bash, with trays of Meats, Cheese, Veggies and Fruit; as well as Chips, Salsa and various Dips. Everything was presented perfectly and very tasty. The staff were organized, helpful and friendly. The Celtic Fox decor and menu are reminiscent of an Irish Pub. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff. Thank-you!

We visited on a Sunday shortly after their opening time. When our server found that we had never been here before, he sent over the manager, Dalton, to talk to us and answer our questions about the recently opened taproom and the historic building. I ordered the beer sampler (Four 5 ounce glasses for $7) since I had never had any of their beers before. My favorite was the witbier, and my least favorite was the saison. We ordered chicken chicharrones (fried chicken skin - actually better than it sounds) and a sausage plate. My friend loved the 3 kinds of sausages, and both the IPAs that he drank. They sell 32 oz Crowlers to go.

This is our go to place whenever we are in Topeka. We met with friends for dinner during our most recent visit. You simply can't go wrong with their Burnt Ends ( If you don't know what those are...believe me...try them and you will fall in love!!). My husband votes for their chicken wings. Both of us love their Chicken Fried Steak but if you don't have a BIG appetite....get an extra plate, an extra order of mashed potatoes and gravy and share it !!!! They also have some great award winning craft beers, if you are a beer lover.
