    Oversized tender intended!
    Richard P.

    A young man named Tylor, who I consider to be a very astute observer of all things superior, recently asked me if I have been successful in my quest to find the best pork-tender in America. I will admit that I am always open to accepting new nominees but as for now the offering at The Pad stands as the "Leader in the Clubhouse". For more than 25 years I have been enjoying their bigger-than-the-bun and deliciously crispy pork cutlet served on FRESH bun with Deluxe dress minus ketchup (ketchup has no place on a pork tender anywhere outside of Alabama). To give your sandwich extra liftoff, make it a Rocket Meal with a side of their fantastic Kurly Q Fries and and a medium drink. Be sure to ask for a side of Tiger Sauce (horseradish mayonnaise) for dipping!

    Great burgers and fries. Didn't love the beer battered onion rings but overall super neat throw back burger stop

    Frosty, small.

    See all

    It's a Topeka classic! I grew up coming here, and will continue to do so whenever I need that little bit of nostalgia.

    Honestly for me they have the best burgers in town. I van live without everything else if they keep the burgers and never change them.

    Burgers are greasy but expected from a fast food type place. Salad bar is always fresh and full of a wide selection.

    Oh Taco Tico you are so rare and precious. A staple of my childhood in rural Kansas and when I find…read moreyou I binge eat like I have never eaten greasy tacos before in my life. This location was great and the service was very friendly. It wasn't the fastest but hey I'll wait for a little piece of nostalgia Get the taco rito.....::drools as I am writing::

    Y'all have lost my patronage for food until I get some sort of response on your idiotic business…read morepractices. There is no nice way to say it. It is fitting to the definition of the words "stupid" "idiotic" and dare I say asinine? Service is never consistent. You may get a couple teaspoons of meat in all your tacos and a burrito that barely has beans in it or you may get what you expect. You should change your establishment to DRIVE THROUGH ONLY if your lobby is not going to be open CONSISTENTLY!!!! This is my biggest gripe. Guess what? Taco shop gives a consistent customer experience. Fuzzys, torchys, even TACO BELL gives a consistent experience. They don't taste as good as your products, but if I know what I'm going to get each time and know what to expect and can actually eat inside these places at ANY OF THEIR LOCATIONS because they have OPEN LOBBIES, guess what? They win and you lose. FIX-THE-PROBLEM. Or have fun going out of business. AGAIN! I don't know why I can't uncheck service and ambiance. NOTHING is good about this place unless you win your crap shoot or blackjack hand.
