Old Chicago - Topeka

First I would like to say that I was here on Tuesday, not sure how a weeking audience would be. the hostess was really nice and polite and greeted me as soon as I went through the door! my waiter (avery) was very good and when I was asked for a recommendation what to eat, he could give some good suggestions. he was very at the top to check me and when I needed something. I decided to go with the cauliflower meat me pizza. it was very pleasant and tasteful. the andouillewurst was the kicker for this pizza.

We had a giant party in the dining area. The bartender was also our server and bartender and managed to literally run the whole bar and keep up all happy and glasses filled. Amazing staff. Food was good but nothing crazy, it's the staff that slays all day here

Our waiter was superb, but the food was not very good. I had a burger and the bun was so tough I literally had to eat it with a fork and knife, the burger itself was mediocre. Another person's food in our party sat so long before it was served that they actually had to remake it that's after waiting nearly an hour while there was hardly anyone else in the business. But like I said, the waiter was extremely efficient and friendly, I'd give him 5 stars. Hopefully things turn around for the restaurant, I've eaten there before and it used to be top notch.

When we first walked in we stood there for a good 10 min as employees crossed us back and forth trying to close the seating section down (it was 5:30 pm on a Tuesday)...we thought they may be getting a table ready for us. Then they eventually said Oh it's open seating you can sit where you want We sat down waitress came and was the rudest non approachable waitress I've ever had. Even my children and my boy friend thought so. They would say thank you for the drinks etc and she would respond with not a word before walking off. It took over an hour to get the food. They were not busy at all. Our appetizers came out with the entrees. The most disturbing issue I witnessed though was an older couple who walked in. Again were not greeted just as we weren't. She was in a wheelchair. It was clear there was NOT a single handicapped table for them to sit at. As they continued to be ignored and waited for help, my youngest son (10) even said Mom should we go help them After about 10 min of being ignored they left clearly frustrated. The waitress charged me wrong for an appetizer when I pointed out her mistake it was oh.. and then she walked off. It was just very uncomfortable there. There was no communication with the staff whatsoever and it was embarrassing to watch the older couple be ignored for so long. I can deal with food taking a long time and understand people being over worked. But it was slow. And more importantly there is never a time I will understand rude behavior. We will not be back unfortunately to that location.

Service was excellent, however the food was awful. Took my wife here for dinner tonight and doubtful we will ever be back. This was our first time eating here and was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the server who waited on us. I had the chicken bacon macaroni and cheese and that was ok at best. My wife tried the chicken carbonara and it was terrible. She are a few bites and left the rest. One plus other than the excellent server, very large beer selection!
