The Shack Bar & Grill

I've been going to the Shack since I was a little boy and I love this place. The cheeseburger and fries is as good as you will find in this area. Beer is always cold, and now they serve Boulevard Wheat which is fantastic. This place is always filled with good friends and good people. Get here.

great burgers, great fries, Your food will be delivered hot and fresh to your table. If you order a beer or three they will be very very cold.
solid burger, easily the best most consistent burger in Topeka.
I am available to fight anyone that says otherwise.

The atmosphere is full of beer signs and neon lights. The tables wobble and the bar stools are occupied by regulars. The staff is very friendly and the TVs always have the big game on. The food is great and the beer is cold. The menu has plenty of good bar food including fried goodies as well as sandwiches and hot dogs. But the burgers are the real draw. When you place your order, you can get the works: lettuce, onion, pickle, tomato. Sides are a la carte but the fries are worth it.

This is a great place to meet friends, have a burger, get a beer, watch the game, play some pool and just have fun.

The Shack has an outside patio area that is perfect for those warm Kansas summer nights. I havent had the pleasure yet but I'm looking forward to it.

A few years ago, The Shack was sold to new owners. There was a lot of concern that the tradition would be changed, thus ruined. Fortunately, the new management understood was brings people to The Shack. They added a few menu items and a couple of beers (they also added the patio) but best things about this place are still the same.

So when you're on the east side passing by the lake dam, take a turn down the dirt road and stop in the unpaved parking lot. You'll be glad you did.
