Absolutely phenomenal experience! Every dish was bursting with fresh flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was fast and friendly and our food came out in no time! We ordered the Munchies Platter and sampled the wings, burgers, and the Fat Maverick; each one was incredibly delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family. Highly recommend to anyone who loves amazing food and great vibes!

This review takes place on November 30th 2025 around 3:25pm, Our experience at this Fat Shack location was disappointing enough that we wont be returning, even though the food itself was good. My boyfriend, his mom, and I were on the road for a few hours and decided to stop here for the first time, the restaurant looked inviting and we were excited to try it. We were polite, followed basic etiquette, and even cleaned up after ourselves, as we always do to respect the staff and show them that we care about there time. We each ordered a sandwich, and my boyfriend got some cheese fries…. when he noticed that the fries didnt already come with bacon (which is common at many other places but no big deal) he politely asked if he could have a side of bacon there was no arguing, no rudeness, just a simple reasonable request. After finishing our meal I went to the restroom before we left because we had a couple more hours left on the road and I overheard our order taker talking to her coworker about our order, she seemed frustrated about the extra bacon, saying things like, “Oh a little late for that” and “You know its been a bad day when…” while cussing and making it sound like our request was a huge problem. This was especially surprising because this isn’t even fast food there’s no rush, no huge line of customers waiting, we were like the only ones in the restaurant so there was no reason to react this way over a small, polite request, I understand working in food service can be stressful, because I work in food service and know customers can be a bit irritating at times but even in fast food, Ive NEVER spoken negatively about a customer to a coworker even if there in the wrong. For a place like this, it felt completely unnecessary. We were first time visitors, excited to try the food, and unaware that asking for a small addition like extra bacon would be met with this reaction but the food itself was tasty, but the staffs behavior left a negative impression and we will not be returning.
(Edit: the bathrooms say there supposed to be clean but the woman’s bathroom was most definitely not clean and my boyfriend also stated he seen some suspicious hairs in the sink.)

Stopped in tonight for a quick dinner. The staff was friendly, especially the lady with the piercings who took our order! Food was great. I got the Fat Maverick and my husband got the Fat Bronco. We will definitely be coming back!

Comparing this Topeka location, to our Manhattan, ks location…
Our local Fat shack taste real good. The burger was great but the mozzarella sticks n onion rings could’ve been fried an extra couple minutes to get better crisp on like our local Manhattan ks location. Very nice friendly service.

I pulled into the parking lot greeted by delicious aroma of grilled Angus beef. Which had my mouth watering from the get go. We walked in and were greet promptly by a very friendly staff. They have a great menu. Best French fries in Topeka. The wings and burger and wings were excellent. The cheesesteak was a little lacking in flavor but still good. overall all i would say this is a hidden gem in Topeka. There is no kids meals for parents out there so keep that in mind.

Hamburgers were okay. They seemed like frozen patties. Fries, chicken strips, and mozzarella sticks were good. Definitely going back to try one of their chicken sandwiches. There is a ton of different types of chicken sandwiches. Probably good hangover food.

Got the Fat Maverick Sandwich. Sandwich and fries were great. Really good bread for the sandwich. A good amount of food for the price and you’ll definitely be full and want a nap afterwards. Staff was helping and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a great place to try and visit regularly.

I ordered two “The Singles” through Uber Eats. The hamburgers were GREAT! The packaging was great and sealed up nicely for the delivery. I know that restaurants are struggling with delivering food and keeping the presentation high. I’ve attached photos of the delivery. I would recommend the burgers and avoid the sides.
What I received as sides were really bad. The side of onion rings included 3 whole rings and pieces of others. I was shocked. Which led me to taking photos. The side order for the 3 onion rings was.$4.75. That’s a lot per onion ring.
The fries were cold. Basically they were inedible. It felt like they were cold left but overs from earlier in the day.
