The Burger Stand Topeka

We had a smoke burger, the holy jalapeño made with grilled chicken and truffle fries. Everything was recommended by the gentleman behind the counter. The food was excellent we planned on taking some home but ate it all. The chicken was juicy not dry and many extra sauces available if needed. Michael was the very knowledgeable bartender who recommended a couple of local IPAs my husband enjoyed. I enjoyed the old fashioned. He just received a smoker machine and I was lucky enough to be one of the first ones to try a lightly smoked old fashioned. Oh my wish, I lived closer to the Burger Stand! I would be a regular!

We dined in, staff was super helpful as it appeared we didn’t know how to order etc. Ended up getting a chx sando (Barnyard Bash) and it was good. The bun was light and not like a greasy brioche bun, so that was cool. The chx was cooked well, delicious choice. Also grabbed a special, the El Royale..not like on Pulp Fiction, but this was a double patty (2x4oz), onion-bacon jam, thousand island love fest in between some bread. It was tasty, but I might have liked a full size patty in there next time. Also had some truffle fries, so rich and delicious. Compared those to the poutine fries, and the truffle fries won. Poutine isn’t easy to master! Great beer selection, lotsa local brews on draft..maybe if I had to complain, they should get a couple more blondes in the beer selection. I’ll definitely go again to this place; looks like it would be a lot of fun for a later dinner and even the trivia night.

The Burger Stand has an excellent location. A beautiful area in an easy to find shopping center with lots of seating inside and outside. Plenty of parking as well. Their fresh made food comes with a high price tag. I had a Brookwood burger and onion rings. Both were excellent! This seems like it would be a good, casual date place. However; if you're just looking for a quick bite, some burgers and fries, do not go here. I loved the location, decor, ambiance. I really enjoyed the flavors. The high prices are what keeps the Burger Stand from a perfect 5 star rating. Other than that, I really liked this place. #KCFoodie #CulinaryAdventures #ExploreYourCity #TopekaKS #NatApproved

Decent Burger and friendly service. Poor value. The burgers are made to order. They are good but for the price, there are better options. I ordered the lowest priced burger, the Classic Burger, priced at $10.50. This doesn't include fries. A regular side order of fries will add $3.50 to your bill or $4.00 if you want the cajun seasoning. I didn't really appreciate that they request a tip but don't bring your meal to your table, plus they add a 15% "Hospitality Fee". An explanation of the Hospitality Fee was printed on the receipt. It was very clear that " This service fee is not gratuity" It feels a bit preachy. We did go a bit early, so the restaurant wasn't too busy. I noticed several employees kind of standing around, hanging out near the ordering stand. Been there once, not worth a return trip.

I visited the Burger Stand for the first time last week since they moved. The first thing I noticed was the lack of customers. There was always a pretty good crowd when I dined there in the past but not this day. I think there was a total of maybe 5 people counting me. It could have just been a slow day but I'm guessing the pricing may have had something to do with it. I was charged $18.00 for a hamburger and a side of onion rings!! Of course that included the "mandatory" gratuity. I wish I had noticed that sign before I handed over the money. Your food is good Burger Stand but not worth the prices you charge. Not to me anyway. I won't be back.
