I'll start with this first the wait staff were a 5 star group very energetic and just great ladies. I got the double dip wings while they were good they really were not spicy and being the second hottest on their scale I didn't feel like I should have to pay for additional sauce. The chips that came with the wings actually overwhelmed the plate look and to me they were stale and had a funny taste. I will try their wings again but with the size I'll probably need to get 10. I did get fried pickle appetizer they were good but could have used more breading and I'm used to a spicier breading but they were good. The decor was good several TVs and a wide selection was on them. Overall even with me hitting a three star the staff and general over all I'll try them again. read more

Jefferson's - Topeka - Chicken Wings Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

I came in to place an order to go. I was told to go to the bar so I went to the bar and waited here for 10 minutes. Finally went back to the hostess station and said you have no bartender to take my order. The lady said oh yeah she's there. She's just waiting on tables. There's only two of us so then when the lady came and waited on me real rude real disrespectful not engaging. The food looks good. Haven't tried it yet. Right now. I'm just so upset with the customer service And customer service is what will take me away if the lady can't greet me and can't be kind and respectful why would I give my service to them? So right now out of a 10 I'd probably give it a three just on horrible customer service and that is from the lady that is supposed to be bartending and helping to go orders. Also, the music is way too loud not that old 40s and to me the music is really loud. You can't hear conversation with your people that are with you or the wait staff that's waiting on you. Photo of the fries. I asked the so called waitress/ bartender to have these well done you can tell they're not well done. They're so undercooked so greasy so mushy and on top of that they have a taste like they're sharing the frying oil with other food. It tastes like onion rings and fish really kind of weird so I feel like they're sharing all their fried foods and one frying pan worst french fries ever read more

Jefferson's - Topeka - Greasy horrible fries. Has a taste to it - Chicken Wings Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

We were traveling and recommended this by our hotel. The burgers had no flavor. The only thing good was the fried tater tots. Service was outstanding. Waitress super friendly!!! We also got there just time for the Wednesday music bingo which was horrible!! read more

We have tried this place 5 times. It is my last time. The place was basically empty. To get service I had to track someone down. The food is mediocre at best. The only thing we have enjoyed are the oysters and they are frequently out. read more

The absolute worst service from a "manager." After receiving the wrong order, I returned the wrong food they gave me (15 minute drive each way). I asked to have the food replaced so that I would not leave with the order that had been sitting there for 25 minutes only to have the "manager" yell across the bar at me, "a please would be nice." The music was so loud it was hard to hear anything. So I went over to her and tried to talk to her but it didn't seem that anything was her fault. I typically enjoy the food and service. And other than the manager all was great. My initial server was outstanding. Food was good but it was hard to enjoy after the treatment. read more

The food is like a typical bar food. Service changes each trip with the new staff. Parking is good, off the street. Good place to watch a game while you eat. read more

First time trying this establishment. And probably the last. Ordered chips and salsa for appetizer. Chips tasted like old grease. I had chicken wings. I thought this was one of their specialties. The wings tiny and tasteless. The fries, like the tortilla chips, tasted of old fry oil. The person I was with had a chicken sandwich and said it was tasteless as well. There's an old adage in the restaurant business of "if you got time to lean, you got time to clean." Way too many stuff sitting around looking at their phones. Shows me poor management. Very disappointing. read more

Went with some friends and had an alright time. Was pleasantly surprised that they had an arcade for the kids in the basement with a monitor/camera broadcasting upstairs. That allowed us parents to keep an eye on them but continue our conversations upstairs. Service was attentive at first but started to slow once food was ordered. Appetizer came out quickly but the rest of the meal seemed to take a while. They weren't overly busy and the staff seemed to be hanging around in enough numbers that I didn't see a lack of help. Food was okay but nothing to "write home about." It's what you would consider typical bar food. I haven't tried the wings yet, but my chicken and pickle sandwich was okay if a little dry. My daughter enjoyed the Mac n cheese. May come again with friends but probably won't seek it out again on our own. Initial gaming tokens were complimentary but additional tokens were quite expensive. Just okay? read more

Server was wonderful and the food was delicious . They even set up a table for all 8 of us quickly.

First thing - the wings are done if the best I have had! Meaty and crispy! I like mine naked with sauce on the side and these did not disappoint. The buffalo sauce was great but I really loved the mango habenero (always my fave anymore) The salad was fresh & crisp - ranch is fresh too. All basic food stuff and done really well. The facility is interesting as it seems to want to be a bar but lots of windows & family-style. So I think I like it because it's not so 'typical' I want to try more, especially burgers. I will update rating once I get more sampling! read more

One Word: Lackluster Pros: We ordered wings and decided on the Asian Zinger for our sauce. This was pretty good. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich but it looked like nothing on the menu or website... I mean, nothing. As though they created something out of the blue in the back.... tasted okay. He asked for potato salad, he got fries. Simple fix, no biggie. The potato salad was good. We also had corn nuggets; I've had better. Cons: Too many people working and nobody knows what's going on. We were sitting near a couple that was sat at a table. They waited... they waited..... so after about 15 minutes, I decided to flag someone down to take these people's order and the guy looked annoyed that he had to help them. Ok.... I kinda felt like the service as a whole put a damper on the experience for me. The food was simply okay. I am not rushing back and frankly, I wouldn't even suggest this place as an option even if I am on this side of town. One of the biggest issues I see where most of the staff is between ages 18-22 is that few actually seem to care about their jobs. Overall this visit was meh. read more

The service was as always. The waitress' are always friendly and hustle to refill drinks As far as the food I am sure it will be okay once we get home and put it the microwave. My wife and I both ordered the two hot dogs and fries. The first hot dog we had was hot on the outside but cold in the center. We both checked the other one and it was cold on the outside and inside. Very disappointed usually the food is good read more

Absolutely the worst experience ever!!! Should be zero stars!! It took us 5 minutes to be seen at the front. The waitress asked us booth or table, I said it doesn't matter. She asked a waitress if she wanted us and she shook her head no. What?? Should have known then to leave, but we were seated. 10 minutes later our order was taken. 15 minutes later no food, no water, no drinks. The waitress came by to let us know that the Coors would be right out and that the bartender was new but was trying to figure out how to make a grey goose with tonic and lime. OMG!! After 10 more minutes with no food or drinks, we asked to speak to the manager. We waited 5 minutes and then decided to leave. Will never go back! read more

Stopped in after the lunch crowd on 10/23. A hostess handed us dirty menus and showed us to our table. We ordered drinks from the bar and 2 sandwiches with fries. After a couple of bites of my sandwich, I started on my fries. Picking up the third or fourth fry revealed a crispy critter on one of the fries. I inspected it closer and called the waitress. She apologized and headed to the kitchen. My husband, having ordered a fried chicken sandwich with fries, immediately stopped eating his as well. The manager came to our table, apologized and said he would take my meal off the bill, and take 25% off of my husband's meal. Wonder if the manager went back to check the frying oil or if he let them continue using it for the next batch for fried food. Wish I'd taken pictures. WE WON'T BE BACK. BTW. Not wanting to penalize our waitress, we tipped her 20% of what the full bill would have been. She was sweet and quite embarrassed by this incident. read more

This food was so delicious!!! The staff and service is fantastic. I am beyond thrilled and will be for sure going back!

Restaurant was dirty and food was mediocre. Best thing was we had a great server who was very friendly and attentive. Wings were small and over sauced. Burgers were overcooked. Quite disappointed as we had heard positive things. read more

Food was good, no wait time and the waitress was amazing and immediately refilled our drinks when they were empty.

Had a great evening at Jeffersons. A few hiccups on the food but it was handled quickly and professionally. The service was the best I've had in over a year. Drinks were good and great selection of beers and cocktails. Will be back. read more

I really wanted to love the Jefferson's in Topeka, but they have some work to do. Things there are definitely fine, but could be better. The service is on the okay side for the most part. Nothing to brag about, but nothing to complain about either. The food has been fairly mediocre the couple of times I've gone. Fries were underdone, burgers were way overdone, and the double dipped wings didn't really taste like they do in Lawrence. I've been a huge fan of the Lawrence location, so I have hope that they can iron some things out with this new location. Overall, a decent spot and worth trying if you feel like something new, but just okay overall. read more

Landed at Jefferson's after our regular round of Wednesday golf. We were greeted immediately and seated without delay. Our server was prompt and our initial drink orders were handled promptly. Our server was very helpful in offering suggestions and describing menu items in response to our questions. We ordered the Ultimate cheese fries for starters and enjoyed it completely. I had the Bacon Chicken Ranch Wrap with a side of Cole slaw. The wrap was well made with lots of chicken and an extreme amount of bacon, much to my liking. My playing partner ordered a Guacamole Bacon Burger with fries. He indicated that it was spicy but to his liking. For dessert I had the fudge Brownie and it was great. We also enjoyed watching the wait staff make a fuss over some children who wanted to post their dollar on the wall. Great fun and family friendly. read more

Fair food that's over priced. Front area worker should have a wireless POS, to where they don't have to run to the bar to take a payment

Delicious. Picky kids loved the food. Best wings I have had. Wish this was in Texas

We were excited to try Jefferson's, but were disappointed. The menu itself was actually dirty. That was a clue that we should have just headed back to the car. It didn't get better; only worse. There was dried food on the knife I was brought. There was dried ketchup on the outside of the ketchup bottle. The silverware they bring you has been used with your food, as my fork was slid under my Philly cheesesteak and when I picked it up it had Philly cheesesteak on it. Ugh! The food was good, but expensive. Service was ok. Waitress was friendly. Even though we liked the food, we will not be going back. read more

Food is just ok but management is rude. Watching the last two minutes of a Monday night football game at the bar and it was 10pm and the first TV to get turned off was the one we were watching. read more

I first went to Jefferson's when it was in Lawrence, so I was STOKED when they opened the Topeka location!! Tried and true, the fried pickles are AMAZING. They came out hot and crispy and never greasy. I was going to get my usual (the chicken strips because they're a classic and always amazing), but my favorite Regan talked me out of it and suggested the double dipped sandwich. I've sat at her bar MANY MANY TIMES but that was her best recommendation yet! As always, Regan did an exceptional job, making sure I never had an empty beer or water and that I left overly full. Highly recommend coming here. read more

My coworkers and I like to order wings on "wing wednesday". Today we ordered them and got charged full price because we ordered them online. The special only applies when you dine in or order on the phone (this is what I was told by the manager), this is BS because when you call the restuarant, the answering machine or whatever tells you to order online. The wings are usually alright but of course today they left a bit to be desired (soggy). My coworkers and I are done with Jeffersons and their purported "wing wednesday". read more

Service was okay but the food was horrible. McDonald's is 300 feet to the south. You'd be better off going there, and that's plain sad...

we've been to Jefferson several times food is fantastic. Atmosphere is wonderful. Every server we've had has been fantastic this last week we had Hannah and she is really good. We will probably ask for her next time we go the only thing I don't like about Jeffersons they don't have crab, my sister and I like crab love crab and the other person and a party always gets oysters, but we don't care for the oysters read more

Stopped in this new Jefferson's in Topeka to try it out, since we have never tried before. Very laid back sports bar family vibe. It is their soft opening, so really expected a few bumps in the road. Not at all. We were seated in bar high table area as the place was packed. The bartender was also our server. Great young man and very attentive. Wife had the Patty Melt and fries and I went with the Fried Oyster Basket and fries. Wife said her patty melt was delicious. The oysters were huge and fried perfectly. Fries are a large crinkle cut and really good. I also tried the mild wings bone in. Not a very big wing but good flavor even with the mild sauce. Came with Blue Cheese or Ranch. Overall great place to enjoy different menu choices to the area. And great service. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Service was good. Chicken is great in all the forms but the fried oysters were a little soft, like they had been in the window for a while. Kids had a great time decorating dollar bills for the wall. They are new so I'm sure they are still fine tuning the kitchen. Will for sure be giving them another chance if only for the chicken. read more

I've managed Restaurants for years, avoid this place. Use awful tap water that isn't filtered. Wife's item was okay. They didn't have what I wanted and I ordered fish and chips wouldn't eat them again if they paid me to. Won't be back. read more

Ok they are on a soft opening but shrimp were over seasoned hush puppies not cooked thru good service will try again small portions fry's we're good will come agin for fish and fried pickles after just returning from London someone really needs to learn how to make fish and chips using Cod or Haddock read more

Fast food feel with Sit-Down restaurant prices. Wings were small, overcooked and flavorless. Shrimp was way oversalted.. came in 1.5 hours before close and felt like we were in the way of them getting out of there for the night. Just not the experience i would expect when paying $50 for a meal for two. There are a much better wing places in Topeka than this.. super disappointed. read more
