    Onion rings
    April E.

    Stopped at Bobo's upon recommendation from friends who have dined there. I pulled in to one of the spaces and waited for a carhop to come out and take my order. They were busy shuffling orders out to cars and I waited maybe three minutes. Explain that it was my first trip to Bobo's and ordered a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a Coke. The carhop said that she was surprised I wouldn't order a shake on my first trip. So I added a Oreo/caramel shake to my order. Glad she made that upsale because the shake was delicious, and my burger was juicy and wonderful. The double cheeseburger comes with lettuce, pickle, tomato and mayo. The lettuce was crisp and fresh which can make or break a burger. The onion rings were lightly battered and delicious. Now, Bobo's will be a must-stop when traveling through Topeka!

    Bobo's is a cute local hamburger joint that has been serving Topeka for years. I really don't go there even though I drive by it daily. I decided to try it out since my mom was in the Hospital and I wanted to grab lunch nearby. It was delicious so now I add it to my list for hamburgers. I stopped in last night 5/21 with my lil doggy Hershel. They have a small quaint inside dining as well as a drive up/car-hop-they come out to take your order. I pulled into the Car Hop area and was greatly fairly quickly. I ordered a Cheeseburger and of course Onion Rings-theirs are delicious! I asked the car hop if they had a kids burger which I wanted to order for my dog. She said they did not but that they have Pup Cups, so I said we would take one snd then I saw a hotdog on the menu so I ordered a plain hotdog no bun for him as well. We waited maybe around 10 minutes for our food which was no big deal. I think for my meal a cheeseburger, onion rings and drink plus hotdog $ pup cup totaled around $17. The food was hot and fresh when I got home to eat it. I'm glad the car hop attendant told me about the pup cup because Hershel devoured it! Food/service/ is Two Thumbs Up! I'll get a pic of my food next time! I was so hungry I forgot

    Can you really add anything to 200+ reviews and a feature on DDD with Guy Fieri? No. Go. You'll love their burgers and homemade root beer floats. The team is smiling and friendly. And try the onion rings.

    We had an unexpected and unplanned tripped to Topeka today and after taking care of business needed a quick bite before heading back to KC. We could have hit the same ole same chain restaurant that we have here in town but I wanted to try something unique to Topeka! So, Bobo's it was! Every item we got felt like it was prepared fresh after we ordered it and highlights were the cheeseburger , hotdog, and tenderloin. You can't replace that worn in cooktop that has all that grilled in flavor. Everything else was good too, nothing unexpected. We also got their house-made root beer, this was good but didn't have any bite, definitely vanilla forward. The service was pretty quick and the server was nice! It was a pretty quiet time, around 2pm when we stopped in. So, nothing to crazy happening. If you are stopping through, definitely give the burger, hotdog, or tenderloin a try - hubs thought their onion rings were also worth a grab and definitely seemed breaded in house. Everything else was fine but you could also get elsewhere...anything from the grill is a shining star!

    Food, Service, Ambiance 5/5 Believe the hype. It's just plain good. I and my buddy ordered onion rings, fries, burgers, and pie. All good, flavorful and nothing was disappointing, but be sure to get a doble as the patties were thin. Overall, I will go again if I am in the area. Nothing much else needs to be said.

    If you are ever in Topeka, check out Bobo's Drive In for some local food. This tiny little restaurant has been around forever and has the sweetest lady that owns the place (Not Bobo, but I think she said 3rd owner.) My waitress who I think was the owner's daughter was super sweet and friendly too. The food is so good and they even make their own root beer! They talked me into a double cheeseburger with Spanish sauce and I couldn't eat it quick enough...

    Went to Bobo's Drive In as it is a DDD spot. It was ok. I had a cheeseburger, fries and the apple pie.

    The food here is amazing! The burgers are the star of the show! Service was friendly and fast, absolutely a must if you're in the area! Driving through to Tennessee, and glad we found this hidden gem!

    Stopped in for lunch, we went inside. They have 6 tables and counter service. You can also pull your car up and get car side service. Great burger and onion rings! Service was great and fast! Yes Diners, Drive-in and dives was here!

    When I think of a vintage diner, Bobo's fits the bill. First off, it's tiny with seating for no more than 20 people. It appears that a good part of what they do comes from the drive-in business. They've been open since 1948 with pretty much the same menu and all items made by hand (hand cut fries, onion rings, and the apples for apple pie). We chose to sit inside at the counter. Burgers, fries, a hot dog, onion rings, and milk shakes. That was pretty much our order. I'd say the Spanish burger and strawberry shake were the star items. The rest were pretty normal, nothing special. It's definitely a fun nostalgic place to visit. Hey, even Guy Fieri checked it out a couple of years back. 2022-9

    Bobo's is a great little diner to get a bite to eat and a whole homemade Apple Pie to go. In 2007, Guy Fieri filmed Diners, Drive-ins and Dives there and I can see why. I don't know what particular dishs brought Guy there but I'm guessing it had to be their Double Spanish Burger. This was not just some pre-formed round, flat burger, cooked to death with toppings. It was fresh ground steak, loosely packed and spiced up. It was super juicy and full of flavor. I wish we had a Bobo's here in Buffalo.. To top it off the whole staff was real friendly. We were there on a weekday afternoon between lunchtime and dinnertime so for a while we were the only ones in there. However, it's a small diner so during peek times, expect to wait in a line outside but do wait, it's worth it.

    This is a fluke find last minute as we were coming through town and we are so bummed that we couldn't spend longer here. We will be finding excuses to come back. The fastest service ever, with amazingly fresh food. I wish we had told them it was our first time because after we were done they recommended next time to get the onion rings and pie. We got a single burger, fries and a chocolate shake. You can tell it's fresh for sure. Highly recommend a stop if you like a legitimate old diner environment.

    Will update this review once I actually try the restaurant, or once the restaurants information has…read morebeen accurately updated. I'm not sure what was going on the day I tried to make an order, but based on Yelp and Google's information, the restaurant was supposed to be open on the Saturday. I called their number, someone answered without indicating their business name and then didn't acknowledge me at all so I ended up hanging up. I tried another number which was disconnected, so possibly an old number. I tried calling again after 5 and 10 minutes and each time it would ring and ring and then go to a "you have reached a text mobile number" message. Okay, so maybe they were just busy and couldn't answer their phone? So I asked a friend of mine who was on her way to see me if she would mind doing by to place an order for me. And I gave her the address, from Google maps. She called me when she was at the address and told me there was nothing there. I even tried texting, since the message said it was a text number. I said I was wanting to place an order for pickup and there was no reply, not even to tell me any information like "wrong number", "were actually closed". Is the business closed? Are the hours, phone number, and/or address inaccurate? Is this a food truck? If so, there is nothing on Google or Yelp or their website indicating any of this information, at least not as of Saturday the 29th. I was really bummed out as I was looking forward to trying the food here. It seems to be a cool and delicious restaurant and I think it's important to support small local restaurants, so I try to whenever I can. I was here visiting family for the weekend and I hope whatever is going on is clarified online so this doesn't happen to other willing customers. I am going I can try again when I'm back in town in a couple months.
