Decided to eat at this place for breakfast when i made my road trip to California last week and I must say this place was pretty good. This place is located in downtown Topeka right across from a hair salon and right next to a brewery so if you ever want something nice to eat before a nice appointment with your favorite hair person or want to play some games at the local brewery then this place is for you. The place inside had a very small town old school vibe like one of the places I had gone to in my childhood with their written specials on the board that they had near the entrance with their specials and what not. They also have pies up front which is cool if you like it like that. For my entree I ordered the biscuit n gravy plate with some bacon and scrambled eggs and I must say they were so delicious. I loved how crispy the bacon was, the scrambled eggs were very nice and buttery and then I loved nice and flaky the biscuits were and all for a decent price. A few minor problems I had was that they gave me hashbrowns when I just said no hashbrowns and then also this place was a bit hard to get to due to the fact that they were fixing the roads so me and my dad had to take a lot of detours to get to this place. Overall, I would go back to this place whenever I am back in Kansas and kudos to the city for giving me some nice murals near the place too. Anyways thats all that I have to say for this place until then see you all next time. read more

My half Not Your Mama's BLT and tomato bisque with chips (also $12) was equally fantastic. details: This is a relatively small restaurant with choice of inside, outside, and bar seating.

This is an interesting spot in Topeka. I'm not that familiar with Topeka but there's not a whole…read morelot there except the capitol of Kansas. Searching out food gets interesting. The one question I have is why is it called The Wheel Barrel? I know a wheelbarrow, a wheel of cheese, a wine barrel, but I haven't figured out the name yet. If I make it back, maybe I can ask. The Wheel Barrel serves grill cheese/sandwiches and soup. I appreciate the concept and in this situation keeping it rather simple yet with some good selection for sandwiches and soup. I got a special wild rice and chicken soup with a half Baja turkey sandwich. It's a half and half for $12. I thought both tasted very good. I didn't eat quite all of it but I'd say it is a normal meal. Not a huge serving. I think most people would eat this in one meal. I think if I'm back in Topeka, I'll have to go back and do the traditional grilled cheese and tomato bisque! It was a busy lunch time meal. A nice size crowd was there. Service was still pretty quick. They have a rustic decor which is sort of like a wheelbarrow and a barrel. It's on a block that seems to be trying to add some art and culture to Topeka and I appreciate that a lot! If I'm back over that way, I'll stop back in and if definitely recommend it in Topeka.

You can purchase freshly baked and frosted cupcakes as well as pastries, pies, breakfast and lunch specials. Pie at Aunt Netters Cafe was recently rated as #4 in the nation just this Spring. We decided to sample some pie recently to see what pie in the top 10 of the nation tasted like. My husband ordered coconut cream and I ordered chocolate peanut butter. Let's start with the crust on both pies which was flaky and layered just like pastry crust should be. Now lets move to the whipped cream topping on both pies ~ freshly made by hand daily, nothing out of a can. The coconut cream pie had real coconut flakes in the center and toasted coconut flakes heavily sprinkled over the cream. Definitely rated #1 in my opinion. The chocolate peanut butter pie had a rich layer of chocolate cream and a layer of peanut butter cream, topped with the freshly made whipped cream. Deliciousness overload! In addition to the pie, we ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich with onion rings. I haven't had freshly breaded and cooked onion rings in forever! The fried chicken sandwich is served with pickles, a large slice of tomato and a crispy leaf of lettuce. The sandwich was so large that I had enough for 2 more small meals after our visit. (I didn't want to eat too much of the sandwich, because the pie was my number 1 mission, as well it should be for any diner. Arrive early. We arrived at 11:20am for lunch.

Unfortunately, after multiple visits, I can confirm: it was not a fluke. It was a pattern. A very salty pattern. The good first: Every single time, the staff has been fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and honestly carrying this place on their backs. The food also comes out hot, and the restaurant is clean, which I genuinely appreciate. Breakfast The sandwich with egg, bacon, garlic aioli, and brioche bun was actually good. The egg and aioli did their best to negotiate peace with the sodium levels, and somehow it worked. The cozy rolls, when served warm, are excellent. Emphasis on warm. Once they cool off, the magic leaves the building. The sides were overall solid and pretty consistent. Lunch The meats are always well-cooked, both in texture and flavor. The burger was also cooked perfectly every time, which makes what happened next even more confusing. The sides were generally great, though the cheesy potatoes seem to spin a flavor wheel before service. One visit they were rich and creamy, the next they seemed to have lost the will to live. Now for the rough part Breakfast The breakfast is, without exaggeration, wildly salty. Not "a little heavy-handed." Not "seasoned generously." I mean "did someone drop this directly into the Dead Sea?" salty. It was the only meal I had that day because I could still taste it hours later. I wasn't digesting breakfast so much as preserving it. The redeye bacon had a good texture, but any trace of pork or coffee flavor had apparently been arrested and removed from the premises. No syrup was served to balance it out, so what you get is not that classic redeye flavor -- just a full-force sodium uppercut. I don't know if it's the brine or the cure, but wow. The biscuits and gravy were a real struggle. I usually love biscuits and gravy, but this felt less like breakfast and more like a personal challenge. I couldn't taste the sausage, there was no hot sauce available on any visit, and the only real notes coming through were salt and grease. It had visibly separated to the point that it looked like the gravy had given up. My only suggestion there would be less salt, less grease, maybe unsalted butter, and a better stir before it hits the table. Lunch The burger was cooked well, but it mostly tasted like meat wearing a tiny decorative amount of coleslaw and sauce as an accessory. It needed more flavor and more of everything on it. One extra note For those of us who used to come for the Cup of Heaven back in the day: it's not on the menu unless you Frankenstein it together yourself. I understand there's an effort to move on from the past, and I'm not trying to compare the old place to the new one. But when something was that beloved, it might be worth keeping around. Some ghosts deserve to haunt the menu. Overall, I really wanted this place to win me over. The staff is wonderful, the restaurant is clean, and there's clearly potential here. But right now, too much of the food tastes like someone in the kitchen is being paid by the grain of salt. -
