Banjo's Cafe

Banjo's never fails. It's not much to look at from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The servers are attentive and handle their tables well. The coffee is good. I always get the biscuits and gravy because that's how I judge a breakfast place. Large portions of hot biscuits and gravy always taste delicious. I also always get the country fried potatoes. So delicious. So if you are looking for a hearty breakfast this is the place for you.

Friendly little diner with plenty of options. Good service and fair prices. Everything tasted like simple homestyle breakfast, nothing spectacular but still a good place to have a nice breakfast experience.

I've ate here a couple times now and both times the food was good. Service was great the first time and the second time wasn't the best. Although the last time my mom and I got there about 1:00 PM and they close at 2:00PM, so by the time we got our meal we felt like we were being rushed to get out of there. Just the vibes we got from our waitress. The first time I ordered pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Everything tasted great. Coffee was nice and hot, which the waitress kept it full too. I was there before the lunch crowd arrived. Although breakfast is served all day long.Second time was my mom and I eating there, which we decided to just split a meal. We ordered an omelet, fruit, and pancakes. All of the food was great except the fruit, but it's out of season. Fruit was only one option to choose from, so other choices are available. Service could be improved. It might be because it was towards closing and she just wanted to call it day? I still thought even splitting a meal that $20.00 was a bit pricy for no more then we got and $18.00 for when I ate by myself was pricy too, but inflation is horrible. The restaurant is clean. I went to the bathroom and the signs hanging up in there gave me a chuckle. I will say the restaurant is spread out with a lot of room for seating. If you are looking for some good down home cooking, this is the place. Be prepared because during lunch this place is extremely busy!

Finally tried this place and it was surprisingly good! Some of the BEST biscuits & gravy we have had! Pancakes were yummy & bacon was thick & crispy.French toast was cinnamon-y but just okay. Service was great, friendly & fast. It is showing it's age but don't look at the floors & just remember it's supposed to be a little divey.

Hubby and I stopped in on the way to the airport. Found this place on my trusty Yelp app. We generally like to try Mom and Pop locations for breakfast as we have usually found they provide the best be breakfast. Well Banjos Cafe is another hot spot to add to our list. When you pull up to this lil place it is off the beaten road. But don't let the location fool you. They are serving up some good breakfast food. I had the veggie omelette with hash browns and pancakes, hubby had the Corny with grits and pancakes. We both enjoyed our breakfast. Omelette well made and full of veggies, hash browns cooked just right and not over cooked or burnt, hubby said his grits had a really good taste to them. Definitely will add this place to my collections.

Stopped in for lunch about 12:45. It was not very busy maybe 1/4 occupied. Sat for eight minutes while the three waitresses were chitchatting by the register. Since we didn't have time to continue to wait. Not one ever came to the table. We have been there numerous times before and never experienced service this poor. We may try them again however if this is the new service standard we will not return. Money walking out the door.

Great service and the food was great! This is my 3rd time visiting when we are in town.

I didn't expect much, it was in a not very special part of town, just as a person enters Topeka, near the elevators. It fully overrode my expectations however. It was huge inside and pages plural of menu. I ended up getting a special, cod and fries for 9.99. They were wonderful!Only one or two waitresses but they were magnificent, reached everyone quickly and often checked on refills. It was a cute comforting type of diner. I will definitely return there.

Awesome waitstaff, clean environment and excellent food. Ham and beans, moist cornbread was better than grandmas! Burger, excellent and fries are best in town-crispy but dry and seasoned perfectly!

My husband and I came up to Kansas to see family for a week and ended up eating at Banjos almost everyday. Food is always amazing and the service is always fast and amazing. It has such a welcoming feel when you walk in and is always filled with people chatting and laughing. Great prices, great food and great service. What else could you ask for.
