The Shack Bar & Grill Reviews | Topeka Restaurants & Bars

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.

Food is always fresh and the beer is super cold! Best burgers in town but also really good sandwiches and dogs. Try the bottlecaps! The staff is extremely friendly, there's a reason this place has been around so long!

Love the burgers. Love the prices. The service is always great. It's a noisy bar, so don't expect anything fancy-pants here, just good, real, food. And, it's kinda in a hidden little place off of 29th, out by Lake Shawnee.

I keep wanting to try something else on the menu, but the burgers are so good, my best intentions are always swayed. My family and friends have ventured out of the "burger realm" and claimed "delicious" on the Pork Tender and the Chili too. And, I did once order some of the IWIG ice cream. Pretty good stuff. Oh, and the fries are always soft and steamy on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside.

This is a great little place to relax with a friend over some good grub and beer - or cokes, if you'd rather.

Our family stops at The Shack often to have an awesome meal. It's right across from the dam at Lake Shawnee. There are plenty of options to choose from at The Shack. It's right across from all the activities that go on at the lake (softball games, golf course, boating, etc.).

It's a great place to grab a meal and a drink. It's always busy! They have corn nuggets and jalepeno poppers to get your meal started off right. They have some the best burgers I've ever eaten. Plus, they have corn dogs, phillies, and wraps. Â Full bar choices as well.

This places should definitely be on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives!

Had lunch today at The Shack a family beer joint & sandwich place across from Lake Shawnee. Â We always hit this place when we are in Topeka. Â When I was a kid it used to be way out in the country, and it is still nestled in some trees next to an old dance hall. Â Nobody comes here accidentally. Â You have to know where to find it. Â But it's always busy. Â My husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich, which is about as good as the ones back home in TX. Â I had a cheeseburger--they don't even ask--it is automatically well done. Â We weren't hungry enough to order the onion rings but we recommend them, if you like yours good & greasy. Â This place is a winner & family friendly.
