Authentic, historic, family-run drive in. I got the Spanish hamburger with jalapeños. Delicious. It comes with a sweet ketchup type sauce. The fries are hot and tasty the service friendly. The drinks are cold and refilled. What more would you want from a drive in. read more

We are here from out of town! It was delicious!! If your looking for a good little burger joint you have found it!! read more

I came into town on a terribly rainy evening and needed some dinner. While a steakhouse was an option, something quick so I could hideout in my hotel room for the night was in order. I've been to a couple places featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and they've generally created positive experiences. This one was no doubt. It was closer to closing time but I got space without any trouble, despite the very small size of this location. The cheeseburger was very good, even though the format doesn't always lend itself to deliciousness. The patty is super-thin, which is counter to the trend of thick patties these days. However, the offering here has a crispy exterior but still isn't dried out inside. The cheese does make it as well. I was a little wary of the onion rings based on reviews but went for them anyway. While they weren't amazing, they were passable. The exterior is pretty crispy, but the rings are fairly greasy. The scratch-made apple pie is a definite winner, with a flaky crust and a nice apple filling inside that isn't too goopy or saucy. It was a little different having soft-serve ice cream for the a la mode, but it made for a decent accompaniment for the pie. The homemade root beer is pedestrian and nothing special, but if you enjoy root beer, then go for it. Service was extremely welcoming, especially since the owner's son heard we were from out-of-town. You can see evidence of Guy Fieri's presence here, and I'm not talking about his shades. read more

We were greeted within 7 minutes. The staff was great, very helpful, and quick to get out our food. We ordered way more than we needed but we were not upset about that. Everything was delicious, especially the grilled chicken sandwich. read more

My first real drive-in besides Sonic!! Haha, it was really small and humble place. If you go inside it could probably fit about about 30 ppl max! I wanted to try it out since it's been around forever and the locals swear by the place. I got the double cheeseburger with the onion rings! They're also known for their shakes and apple pie which a local couple recommended I get after overhearing my convo with the server. The cheeseburger was delicious, nothing terribly fancy or special but it hit the spot! The onion rings were for sure the crispiest I've ever had in my life! Taste was okay. And the apple was filling was amazing! Very fragrant and warm but the crust was not as flaky as I'd like. Overall, I'd go back for another quick bite~ read more

We stopped here because they were on DDD, the food was amazing, hamburgers were hand pressed on the grills, they were juicy and full of flavor. Fries were great, staff friendly and attentive! read more

This restaurant is a good old fashioned drive in restaurant. The food was delicious. I am a sucker for homemade flakey onion rings. The burgers are also very good. The staff there is friendly and the food comes out very quick. You can order from your vehicle, order to go, or eat in the dinning area/counter. The dining area is small though so, I hope that there is not many of you. So I recommend checking out this place. The drive in is a dying breed and this joint will have to going down memory lane and with a good meal to boot. read more

This place is a super yummy local spot! Make sure to get the strawberry milkshake The burgers and fries are amazing, and even though I haven't tried it, I heard that the apple pie is great as well! Staff is friendly and it has great personality inside. read more

We went here because the folks went here back when they were stationed at Forbes in the 50's. It's still got yummy, yummy burgers!

I have only been here once and I don't think I will return. Yes, I love the atmosphere; it's a total time warp and they have the old timey car hop. I thought the burger and fries were decent. My reason for the 3-star review is the service. I felt like the lady that served us was rather, well, unhappy. She wasn't rude but she gave us the feeling like she hated being there. With other burger options in town that are not only just as good for food, I will go elsewhere for service that is better. We felt rather unwelcomed. read more

We stopped at Bobo's on our drive from KC to Wichita. I have been to Bobos before, after seeing in on the DDD app, and remembered it was really good. Since I am on the search for the worlds greatest cheeseburger I thought I should definitely return! I didn't have much time to research prior to ordering so I just got the single cheeseburger and onion rings. The smash burger patty was enough for me but I could have definitely handled a double. The bun was fresh and the cheese was melted nicely and super creamy! My daughter had fries and I preferred them over the rings. Next time I would like to give the chili cheese fries a try but didn't want to attempt it while driving. The car service was fast and friendly! We hopped on the road and I didn't have a chance to get photos but definitely worth the stop! read more

Fantastic kettle chips! Great hustle by the servers to get to us as fast as possible even when they are busy. We go often and always enjoy it. read more

A topeka classic and a diner's dives and drive in face for a reason. Good local fair.

I've been going to Bobo's for many yummy years. It's literally within walking distance at 10th & MacVicar. Their Apple Pie is just like the ones that my late Grandmother made. Top it off with their home-made ice cream and their root beer, and memories come alive. This place was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. but I really like this place. Go. Just go! read more

Small dine in area, or wait in your car for a carhop. Tasty burgers, delicious homemade root beer, and awesome shakes. The onion rings and fries are good choices as well. read more

My experience here might have been better had I not spilled my root beer on myself but this is a solid four stars. Bobo's is a classic and nostalgic old drive-in that serves up tasty burgers, fries and onion rings. (I can't speak for the desserts because we were too full). Burgers are fresh and cooked to order but on the small side--I recommend getting a double. Our fries and rings were cooked in clean, fresh oil and served up hot. We were here after the noon rush so there was room to sit down inside and our service was great (she was quick with a pile of paper towels to help me clean up my spill). Bobo's is well-worth a visit and I just can't help thinking about what it must have been like on Saturday nights a few decades ago. read more

Can't beat a Bobo's burger! Service is outstanding and friendly and although seating may be tight at times that just proves how good they are! read more

It wasn't a bad hamburger. I have had better, but for a dive like this, it was pretty good. And they do have a globe in there. That says that they were on Diners drive in and dives For their good food. read more

Came here on a Friday for lunch with the boss and wow, this place was popular! Restaurant and parking lot were nearly full. We both got the steak burger with fries hoping our order would come out quickly as we had to head back to work soon but that was not the case... there must've been some kind of hold up in the kitchen because our orders along with orders from half the people in the restaurant took awhile to come out. Our wait ended up being close to 30 min and when our food finally came, we both finished it in less than half the time. I would definitely steer clear of this place during peak times. Their burgers are tasty but not anything to write home about or worth a 30 minute wait. Though the place has a "small town diner" feel so if you're into those types of dining establishments then I would recommend Bobo's. read more

Delicious burgers, fries, and rings. Superfast service. Probably the best hamburger I've ever had. Too full for pie, but it looked yummy.

I have always wanted to eat here a Bobo's and today we came back for seconds. We brought my Mom to try out home-made root beer float. Yesterday their home made onion rings passed the test. Today we tried their home made root beer oh my goodness, I want to make root beer again. Mom tried their chicken tenders with gravy. Every thing is sooo good. read more

Came to try out the famous Bobo Drive In. I was immediately greated when I pulled up. Waitress was friendly. I ordered a simple cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger was tasty. A bit crunchy at the edges. The fries were fresh and they gave me quite a bit of them. Only a little over $5, so not bad on pricing. I'll probably be back again some time. Quality food at a good pric read more

The food wasn't fresh at all, ordered a chicken tender (which only comes with 3 for like $5.99, which seemed to just to be frozen and fried, the gravy was brown gravy which was runny and bland. Fries were separate and were bland and old. The fish sandwich was basically a fish fillet like McDonalds, but was not fresh either. I went shortly after 11am when they opened, so maybe I was served the day before leftovers. The only thing that was worth it was the strawberry milkshake. Not sure on how this place has been in business all these years, you're better off going to Sonic for a drive-in. read more

Old fashioned drive-in.....excellent food ..... they don't try to load you up with empty calories like other burger joints. Hand rolled patties, well smashed on the grill, excellent onion rings (they're different), and the famous spanish burger. Also famous, and for good reason, the homemade on site apple pie with a side of soft-serve.......it alone is a reason to visit Bobo's. I've been going there since I was in Jr High school and I'm 84 !!!!! read more

Definitely stop in for lunch or dinner. Got a corn dog, fries and a shake - this lunch did not disappoint at all. Saw someone's onion rings and they looked delicious. It's everything you want in a little dinner - complete with checkered floor and a counter. read more

Wow, if you want a true diner experience you have to stop here! Incredible service and old school burgers. Onion rings are a must.

If you close at 7:30 you should change your hours to reflect that. Food is good and service has been great up until now. I don't think recent choice in help is going to benefit your business. Bobo's has a old drive on feel. read more

I wanted to give this place a try and for the most part it was great. Highlights: Great Root beer! Good burger & fries (not the best I have ever had but not too greasy). Fast/polite server & Great price! All this for $11!! Least favorite, the Apple pie filling was delicious but the crust was flaky and had zero flavor which I was so looking forward too. Additionally the parking situation is not ideal. I went when they weren't busy so I had room to sit down but seating is VERY limited and parking is as well. read more

Great service! It was pretty busy but the boys doing car side were very quick to get orders in and out as fast as possible. The food was so good! Highly recommend the steak burger and kettle chips (which were fresh when we received them). You can't beat the price! read more

Very good place for old fashioned hamburger place. Plus shakes and malts. I had the pork tender and chili cheese fries. So good!

Tiny little place, food was good though a little greasy. The lady that took our order kinda had an attitude but overall was okaY

Came here around lunch last week because I heard good things about this place. The burgers were delicious but the service was horrendous. A red haired lady took care of my wife and I and she was just absolutely awful. Seemed like she hated her job and would rather be anywhere else but there. The lady at the register was talking about personal stuff on the phone. We will not be dining inside anytime soon and we do NOT recommend dining inside if you want to receive good service. However I will be willing to give this place another try by using the drive-in option instead. read more

On the way back to my brother's house we stopped by because I had heard about the apple pie on TV. We took the pie back to his place and the family enjoyed it for our late night snack. The apples were tender and melted in our mouths! The special of the day was the tenderloin and a drink which we both purchased and LOVED! I think my brother got the fries and I got the onion rings which were good also. I can't wait to stop by and get another pie, it WAS that good! I will also be taking tenderloins back! read more

Perfect burger joint. Burgers from fresh local grown beef. Homemade chili is wonderful as add one to hot dog (also add the melted cheese) or just on its own. Someone else added bacon to their chili dog as well. The onion rings and awesome and home made. Save room for the homemade apple with soft serve absolutely worth it. Will stop every time I'm in Topeka. read more

We have not been here for many years, but we drive by Bobo's all the time. Everyone has heard of this place being featured, in a good way, on cable TV by Guy Fieri. So maybe we will go back again some day. Who knows. However, when you do drive by, it looks like people who don't fit in the three small booths are spilling out and getting squished in the windows. Maybe they should turn it in to a drive through only as the car service parking is pretty tight too. They might want to think about moving into a closed Sonic! Another idea might be to upgrade the food. What we did have was very home town drive in food, stale buns etc. I'll bet "Guy F" got something other than the Bobo special! And why in the world would the so called Spanish Burger be so dad gum popular, anyway....ole! read more

The double cheeseburger with onion rings is possibly the best meal in America. Burger is incredibly juicy and onion rings are always on point. I love the old school treys that rest on your window if you eat in your car and the carhops are always amazing! read more
