Great staff with real from-scratch cooking in proper sized portions at great prices, especially when you consider the quality. Last trip we had a pork tenderloin sandwich with veg beef soup. Other one had a pork loin dinner with mashed potatoes with white gravy, green beans and a roll. Highly recommended.

I had occasion to visit the VA hospital this week for an 8am appt, and wanted breakfast once the…read moreappt was done. My husband asked about a chicken friend steak, so I Yelp'd and low-and-behold, Cook's is really close to where we were. I was raised in a small midwestern town, and this, folks, is a quintessential midwestern diner! I didn't snap a pic of the menu, but ordering is done at the register and all the prices are very reasonable. I ordered a coffee & western omelette, which came with a side of hash-browns and biscuit. The coffee, very standard diner percolator brewed stuff, was fresh and the perfect consistency. The food was served quickly by a cheerful waitress who came by a few times to continue to check on us. My husband was very pleased with his chicken fried steak, hash-browns, eggs and toast. My breakfast was well-portioned; not a huge plate but definitely ample, fresh and tasty! The best part of the experience for me what the cleanliness of the dining room. Not fancy- utilitarian carpet, linoleum table tops- but so clean, fresh and well-tended. It seemed busy for a Thursday morning; more than half the dining room was occupied, and the low storefront of the building is easy to miss, but I was confident these customers were regulars. We don't live in Topeka, but this is now my fav restaurant there, so I plan to return!

If you're a first timer here let them know do you get a special treat. We had several varieties of their pizza and got the minis which has a crisp outside crust and soft and chewy on the inside. Piled high with toppings. Now I do suggest if you're ordering the salad get the half to start out with. These are huge. We added some mozzarella sticks and none of us went home hungry. For 6 people we ate for less than $15 each.

There is plenty of seating, including a private banquet room. They have Coke Products, beer, water, perfect for take out or eat in. I got here right at 5:00 pm, there was a mad rush to follow! It always makes me feel better about A place when you see the locals eat here! They do a lot of take out/ call ahead business! I will make a point to visit every time I'm in Topeka!

Oh my, my MY!!! I have to get stuck right in...GO lickety-split to this establishment!!…read more We went here on a Wednesday and it was luck of the draw! The interior is filled with murals representing Kansas and wonderfully done. The food a gastronomic delight...especially if you love BBQ and down-home cooking. My husband enjoyed his "Three Pigs" and the fried okra would make every southern Nanny proud! My smoked turkey was smoked and NOT laden with salt, as some that I have eaten at other places. Our server, Gabby, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! She was such a joy! So, as soon as your office or work from home is finished, gallop on down to the Brewer and see for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

Nothing can replace the experience of your first adventure down that blessed alleyway, only to be greeted by a projector movie or tv show and a stationary bastion of greasy appeasement. When the night has come to a close for you and your friends and the drunchies have set in, The Varsity Truck will get you exactly what you need to make your way home and settle down in blissful drunken sleep. The workers are always nice, the show is always good, and its a calm oasis away from the noisy raging in the rest of the Ville. If it is late and your liquor is holding you, consider shying away from the devilry of Fat Shack and D.P. Dough, and let Varsity take you into its sweet, greasy arms.

I've also had just the brisket by itself, and it was just as delicious. The Soul Fries can get a little greasy, but they're still really tasty and hit the spot when you're craving comfort food. We tried the Indian Taco as well--it's a little too spicy for me, but my husband really enjoyed it. The food is consistently good, and the service has always been solid. The only thing I'd change is the hours--I wish they were open on Sundays! Other than that, definitely worth checking out.
