Very pleasant experience even though they were out of my first selection. Busy place but staff were up to the task. Brandon was efficient and friendly. Ate on the patio. Good beer selection although their main emphasis was on a wide variety of wines. Cranberry walnut salad was exceptional. Had the pork belly Cuban sandwich which was well made and very tasty. My wife had the crab cakes which were overdone on the bottom. The mini cobbler was average for dessert. Comfortable surroundings and atmosphere. read more

Great food, went once for lunch, and went back the next day for Sunday brunch. Drink specials every day. Nice setting, great for families.

We had a delightful evening at Blue Moose. The food was amazing! Our server was great, and he recommended our food choices. We will definitely return! read more

We were here yesterday afternoon for an early dinner of Fish and Chips.The french fries and cole slaw were fresh and delicious. The serving of fish was huge....plenty to take home. I had lemonade to drink, and it was an exceptional experience thanks to our waitress Liz. She was very attentive, energetic, and has a wonderful smile. Liz packed up our leftovers for us and did so very quickly. We will definitely come back again as the Blue Moose is close to where we live and where my wife works. read more

Had a great experience Tuesday evening. Warm, friendly greeting by MacKenzie and great great service by Paige S. The nachos were hot, very tasty and generous. Looking forward to our next time. read more

Ate here as part of my taste of Kansas tour that included eating dirt to understand the true taste of Kansas. While I don't think this fully matched up with the earthy tones of my first taste test, I would gladly recommend this over eating dirt. Great appetizers, and the wait staff was courteous and prompt. The wine selection was superb, and they packaged my bottle up in a to go box whenever I was done eating. I would highly recommend the chicken tender basket and potato skins, alongside some vintage Merlot. read more

The food was delicious and in ample quantities. The service could have been better. Overall, Dan our server, did OK. He could have smiled a little more and been a tad more attentive. Dirty dishes were beginning to mount up. I will eat there again. Their Tuesday specials have me intrigued. read more

We love to eat here but lately every time we go it gets louder and less enjoyable. Tonight when our food came out the fries were cold and we had already waited longer than normal and didn't want to wait on them to make more. The waitress sent the manager over and he offered to make more but when we said we didn't want to wait he didn't even offer take them off of our bill. Terrible customer service. Trust me I will tell everyone I know about my experience and it will probably be a long time before I give them another chance. read more

Have eaten there twice during visits to Topeka. Had stomach issues both times! I do not have a touchy stomach, but I think they do not keep their food at safe temperatures. Yesterday I had the artichoke soup which was lukewarm. My friend had the chicken fried chicken and also became ill. Cooks need lessons in food safety. read more

We had a great experience here. My wife ordered the burger, which was cooked the way she ordered it, with some amazing, crispy fries. I had the braised pork, I didn't even need a knife, it just fell apart with my fork, and went great together with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. They have an awesome selection of drinks at the bar and beers on draft, too include a beer from blind tiger. The fried pickles were also great, I read a previous review that the breading was too thick, but maybe they changed the recipe cause it was not the case tonight. We also saved room for desert and had the cheese cake of the day. It had a light brown top, was not dry in the middle, not too sweet and just sinfully tasty. If I had two stomachs I would have orders more food. All in all, the service was great and I'm glad we found this place. We will definitely eat here again. read more

Pretty good food. A bit expensive and loud, but generally enjoyed it!

Shrimp wontons are delicious, must try! I love the create your own Mac & cheese with a wood grilled shrimp kabob. Lots of tv's and a great outdoor patio. read more

High quality foods. A very fine dining establishment maybe the best in Topeka right now. Portions are a little slim but not bad, and the price is high, but that seems to be a tendency in many fine dining establishments. The mood is relaxed with dimmed lights. Great wine list! A great place for an important occasion! I would give 5 stars, but I still feel it to be a little too costly for the proportions. Still HQ foods & wines! read more

Participated in a luncheon of 20, ordered the short ribs, The picture was apetizing. What was served was not. a bit of beef sitting atop what appeared to be potato soup with some weak unfavored brown water around the outside of slimy potatoes (entry was cold). There were a few wimpy onion rings atop the meat, but nothing like the picture. Meat tasted ok, the rest was unpalletable, so I left it. Waiter was excellant. If I had not been witha group I would have refused or returned the slop. read more

Very good food! I had the spinach artichoke dip and the chicken puttanesca. Everything was excellent. And the prices are very reasonable!

Reliably good food and professional service. Nice wine menu and wide range of menu options. Sunday brunch is lovely too.

The Blue Moose used to be my favorite place in Topeka. I've been here a couple times with friends and had a great time. My wife recently joined me on a work trip to Topeka, and I was so excited to take her to the Blue Moose. I was quickly disappointed. It was wine Tuesday, so of course we ordered a bottle of wine. It took over 45 minutes to receive the bottle and the waitress had no idea how to open it. Meanwhile my cocktail was empty this entire time with no effort shown to refill it. We felt completely neglected by our waitress and when we complained to a manager, he stated that she's only been on the job two days and will have to be retrained. I believe her name was Lily. I've had bad service before, but I've never seen such blatant neglect and was probably the most upset I've ever been with a server. I told her she was a horrible waitress and should probably find a new job. I told the manager to fire her. Again, he stated that he will make sure she is retrained. How about you don't put people on the floor until they've been fully trained in the first place? On our second complaint to the manager, he offered to comp my meal. I explained to him that I wanted to pay full price, because I will never come back to the Blue Moose again. Their service has completely gone downhill and they have disappointed me so bad, that they don't deserve another chance. It's too bad I can't give them zero stars. read more

I went with my significant other to here recently for a date night. It wasn't super busy. We were seated quickly and greeted by our waiter right away. The food was just too good to talk about. I ordered a standard chicken Cesar salad which was the best I've ever had. And we ordered the shrimp wontons. Ommgggg. They were delicious! We couldn't get over it. And lastly had a cheesecake. It was a great experience. The food came out quick. Waiter checked on us several times. The only reason I didn't do 5 stars is the price. Could be a tad more affordable. But will definitely go back! read more

Blue Moose has classy food but is a comfortable atmosphere, and we enjoy the variety of food options on the menu. Some menu items are mahi tacos, steak, flatbreads, crab cakes, shrimp and chicken curry, salmon, hummus, sandwiches, and burgers. On Sundays there is a Brunch with special pricing for Mimosas and Bloody Marys, Tuesday nights are special prices for bottles of wines, and Thursdays are busy since they have beer specials! The bar has a great selection of drinks, fantastic bartenders (and you can also order drinks at the tables in the restaurant), and there are Happy Hour specials for food and drinks from 4-6pm Mondays-Fridays. We started visiting for the food, but we also now keep returning to see our friends...the staff is very welcoming and Blue Moose has become our "comfort zone"! read more

Love the atmosphere and the food. Great place to go anytime. We always request Joelle as our server, she is attentive, friendly and caring. read more

Service was fine. I ordered the artichoke soup, a bowl. Very disappointed. The amount of soup in the bowl barely covered the bottom. Six spoonfuls for $6.00! Pretty expensive soup. Flavor was negligible. Over rated and over priced. read more

Comparatively to what the rest of Topeka offers, Blue Moose possesses a considerably more diverse and nuanced menu. Besides their noteworthy pork, chicken, beef, and fish dishes they are one of the few establishments in town that offer legitimate vegetarian options and you'll basically want to betroth yourself to their various twists on macaroni and cheese. Their kitchen stays open later than most in Topeka and they do a fine job of providing an alternative to the generic franchise options that cover Wanamaker. When friends visit we always take them here and TupTim Thai. read more

The Jamin Salmon is by far the best salmon dinner around! I have lived on all the coasts and in Alaska also, I have never had a salmon dinner with the flavor that this one has! I have to force myself not to eat it ever time I go here and to try other meals! The rice with the fish is something that I initially was not sure about but the flavor is fantastic! Can't get enough! read more

We went here for my birthday. There were 3 of us & they seemed irritated that we asked to be moved to a quieter spot as they sat us right next to A very large loud crowd & we wanted to be able to visit. We ordered a bottle of wine that was marked up at least 100%, but since it was my birthday we splurged. We were not brought an ice bucket to keep it chilled as we ate our meal. The food was delicious, but took forever & service was poor. So all in all it wasn't a very good birthday experience. read more

It would be nice if they can honor reservations. They made me wait for 15 minutes while my companion was already seated.

Food is pricey and only so,so. Had a problem with my bill and the senior manager was very rude. The trainee manager was much more understanding. Won't ever go back. read more

Ate dinner here with a business colleague Had the chicken tenders, fries and blue moon. He had the pizza and blue moon. The place was VERY loud. Overall, pretty good unless the b Ed for a quiet conversation read more

This restaurant is hands down amazing. We came in last night and had outstanding service from our server, Kylie! She was great, the food was great, and our drinks were great! Definitely coming back again! read more

We sat at the bar and had a fantastic experience, love the shrimp wontons and the Blue Moose burger. Riley was our bartender and killed it!

Blue Moose is as good as it gets in Topeka for food!!! Fantastic all the way around. Worth the money and the time!!! We used the catering option for a birthday party and all the guest's raved about the food! Great service before, during and after the party!! I would use them again and will gladly go to Moose anytime the option came available. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant immensely. It has a very fun vibe, nice decor, and great food. Definitely one of Topeka's best restaurants. It was pretty busy on a Wednesday night, and I'd say that's a good sign! read more

After being seated it becomes an ordeal to find any staff. It was 30 minutes before orders were taken. The food is never consistent and does not even warrant the price. Steaks are always under cooked and quite possibly the most gristly cuts possible. The wine selection is fine however the wine is not stored correctly and results it horribly damaged product. You will be hard pressed to find service, and food that is cooked well enough that it won't make you sick. Locally this restaurant is known as the part of "The Iron Mile", which is a series of places that will increase your chances of food borne illness. In addition the management is far from pleasant. read more

We had lunch here yesterday and it couldn't have been better. Our server, Olivia, was spot on. We asked for a few changes and everything was perfect. it's a bit spendy but we knew that going in. read more

Second time there and both time it was overpriced for the quality of the food and drinks.. Come on - $5.25 for a bottle of beer... There were 6 of us and no one really ranted about their food. Had the Charred chicken with Andouille sausage and it need work. Dry and the Andouille was the mildest I have ever tasted. $48 bucks for 2 beers and 2 mediocre entrees is just too much. If you want an old school bar and grill with spot on good food and super prices stay away from the chains. Terry's Bar and Grill on west 6th is what a Bar and grill experience should be.. Will go there next time I have friends in town. Support the locals!! They are fast disappearing . read more

Beer selection was solid. The manager had to fix one of our meals because it wasn't cooked properly. The service was great and the food was average. read more

Upon walking in , we stood at the hostess stand for quite a while (10:30 on a Fri night) fairly empty. We got looks from some of the servers who shunned us. Finally one approached us and asked us "What do you need?" ......Well duh, I would like a table to eat at! Geesh! I had the wedge salad. Not too impressed. They added apples and golden raisins to a wedge salad?? The edges of the lettuce were wilted and a little brown. My husband ordered the pot roast and it was very tender and delicious. read more

If you're in the mood for something below fine dining, but above a casual dining experience, this would be it. It has the appearance and demeanor of a fancy place, but the food and vibe of a casual spot. The food is okay - overpriced for what you get. read more

Everyone in our party of four had an excellent meal. If it was food service, it didn't taste like it. I had carne asada tacos with rice and black beans that was fresh and delicious, others at our table had the fish and chips, the petite filet, and the kale salad with chicken. For dessert we shared the creme brûlée and the flourless chocolate cake and both were fresh and fabulous!! My only complaint is that it's a bit noisy and I was annoyed by our server's loose, long hair. read more

It's not the place to go for a business lunch because the noise level is too high for that kind of conversation, but for other occasions the Blue Moose is fine. Reasonable prices, friendly but not overly so wait staff, good service, fun atmosphere, and most importantly TASTY FOOD, make it a 4 star restaurant in my book. They also have a "Guest Rewards" club that gives you discounts and Tuesdays they have $10 per bottle wine. The Sunday brunch buffet is heavy on the breakfast entrees but not bad for $14.50. read more

The folks that worked there are nice but around the table it seemed no one was impressed. I had the roasted chicken, potatoes & asparagus. The thigh and leg were cooked fine but the breast was bone dry. The asparagus was undercooked and a bit too smoky to even taste the asparagus. Despite the food being so so we still had a nice family outing. read more
