Experience Through Their Eyes

I ordered the a double cheese burger at bacon no pickles add onion. The burger melted in my mouth it was so amazing. I also got onion rings witch are mad fresh daily best onion that have ever been put in my mouth. I also ordered the home made rootbeer. The drink was amazing the flavor profile was so good. The balance was there vanilla was not over powering at all. It has a wonderful healthy flavor. All the staff were supper polite. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing

My family and I have been coming to BoBos for YEARS. No matter where in the world we live, if we're in Kansas, we're going to BoBos. Literally my favorite cheeseburger on the planet. I'm also obsessed with their vanilla shakes. Their apple pie and satin is one of a kind. You need to stop here.

If you are in or around Topeka you need to stop in and try a Double Spanish burger and fries. Smash burgers come out perfect every time and the fries are crispy. If you have room for dessert try the Famous Apple pie with Satin Freeze on it.

Classic drive-in that's been around for over 75 years (opened in 48). One bite of their perfect smashburgers illustrates exactly why. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in ages! Also, the apple pie is amazing... on par with my mom's. And the service is top notch. The carhop was friendly and prompt and git the order exactly right (significant because I customized my burger ). We stopped the first time through Topeka because Bobo's was on DDD... We went back because it's worth a detour to get food that good.

Loved the park and eat aspect of it! The burgers are greasy and delicious, milkshakes hit the spot, and the chili cheese fries were a great add on! Overall the service was great, could tell the food is cooked to order. A great find if youre a local or traveling through!

Everyone was so kind and helpful. We ate inside but you can do car hops also. The root beer was home aid and super good! We took our 3yo and 1 yo who also thought this place was super fun! It is small inside so if you have more than a family of four you will need to split between tables. Also, they didn’t have bathrooms so for a potty training family it meant we had to take our little man to the car potty.
