My husband asked about a chicken friend steak, so I Yelp'd and low-and-behold, Cook's is really close to where we were. I was raised in a small midwestern town, and this, folks, is a quintessential midwestern diner! I didn't snap a pic of the menu, but ordering is done at the register and all the prices are very reasonable. I ordered a coffee & western omelette, which came with a side of hash-browns and biscuit. The coffee, very standard diner percolator brewed stuff, was fresh and the perfect consistency. The food was served quickly by a cheerful waitress who came by a few times to continue to check on us. My husband was very pleased with his chicken fried steak, hash-browns, eggs and toast. My breakfast was well-portioned; not a huge plate but definitely ample, fresh and tasty! The best part of the experience for me what the cleanliness of the dining room. Not fancy- utilitarian carpet, linoleum table tops- but so clean, fresh and well-tended. It seemed busy for a Thursday morning; more than half the dining room was occupied, and the low storefront of the building is easy to miss, but I was confident these customers were regulars. We don't live in Topeka, but this is now my fav restaurant there, so I plan to return!

Myself and my friends have eaten the veggie Fajita my sister had and she has been a vegetarian for a few years so she knows VEGGIE. She loved the Veggie Fajita. My brother in law had the Chicken Fried Steak and I had the Chicken Fried Chicken and our friends had a Build you own Burger and a Ruben. Everyone was enjoying their great food. Two of us went back two days later and I had the blackened fish street tacos (the absolutely most wonderful Fish Tacos I have ever eaten and she had a Philly Steak sandwich with and I quote "outstanding " sweet potato fries. The amazing thing about this place is the broad and varied choices for our meals and every one we have tried and liked and the menu challenges you to try something different every time. Just drafting this, I am ready to return and try another meal there yet tonight. Do not miss the opportunity for a quality above meal..

We tried the Indian Taco as well--it's a little too spicy for me, but my husband really enjoyed it. The food is consistently good, and the service has always been solid. The only thing I'd change is the hours--I wish they were open on Sundays! Other than that, definitely worth checking out.

It was good but just didn't blow me away, but was satisfying. The owners were very pleasant and willing to help out with the menu. The beans were rather lackluster and the corn bread was served cold. I felt as if the corn bread should have been warmed and served with butter. The sandwich was good and the bun held up nicely. If you're in the mood for BBQ this is an option to check out.

I arrived at 1:00 PM, which I learned is too late to get ribs or brisket, since the locals buy all of it for lunch. Also out chicken breasts. I didn't want pulled pork, so I had a dry chicken thigh and a juicy beef link, which was clearly the highlight of the meal. The sides could have used seasoning and the gumbo was too watery. The person taking orders should do a better job guiding people through the confusing ordering process. Repeating the statement, "If it has a green tag next to it, that means we are out of it" seemed to become a little rude. I watched an older guy spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what he could order. Two other customers walked out. All I could do was laugh at the comedy skit between the customer and the owner. Also, if the order allows two sides, why can't both of them be yams? There seemed to be a policy against getting two of the same side even when the order comes with two sides. Although not a big deal, but I smelled like a BBQ pit when I left. Felt unsatisfied, I so I went to a small chain BBQ place to get ribs and brisket. The lesson is to get there early for ribs and brisket.
