Perfectly preserved old fashioned burger joint. Counter service or booth. Simple, great burgers. Homemade pie is well worth trying as well. Service could not be any better.

A must if you want to know what eating a burger was like in the 1940s haven't changed in all this timeParking: Parking is fine they have added a bunch of parking but the building is very small and hard to get into so handy capabilities are limited

Hole in the wall diner that has some great food. They've been in business for 75+ years serving Kansas City, so they must be doing something right! The servers behind the counter were all courteous and welcoming to us as tourists. Limited space makes it feel tight, but contributed to the experience. I highly recommend stopping by here for breakfast - the pancakes were light and airy!

Town topic has become very stingy I purchased two ham and cheese sandwiches and it’s two small thin pieces of deli meat a slice of cheese back in the day they actually served thicker meat smh 27 dollars for two grilled ham and cheese plus a strawberry shake. I won’t be back to expensive and overrated.

Pretty good nothing super special but it is super expensive for what it is. It’s an old classic joint in Kansas City but you’ll definitely think twice about going back after you pay 20 some dollars for a cheeseburger.

The food was delicious. Got burgers, fries, onion rings, and some pie. Every bit of it was delicious, especially after leaving a concert famished.

Town topic never fails. Patty is always full of flavor and their gator tots are crispy and deliciously potato-y on the inside.

One of the best burgers I have ever eaten! I 100% recommend the triple cheeseburger and onion rings. I got my order to go, and despite the late hour and several visiting patrons, we got our food quickly, and the orders were all correct.

I ordered a bigger cheeseburger and two double cheeseburgers since Lidia's was close by. I very much enjoyed the bigger cheeseburger and was one of the few times I've eaten a quadruple patty burger. I ate the whole thing and I'm saving the other burgers for tomorrow (my birthday). Highly recommend stopping by for waiting.
