Old Chicago

We went there on March 4 2016. We had a Hawaiian pizza it was good. The Irish nachos we okay. The waitress was excellent I forget her name but we never run out of drinks she check on often it was a great time. I would give 5 but nachos is the only thing we did not like that why its a 4.

Love the jalapeño pretzels. And they’re so worth it during happy hour! Of course they pair well with the ridiculous quantity of beer selections. At times the service can be a bit slow, and the World Beer Tour rewards are not always accurate.

Amazing food and service! We had cheese fries, ale crust pizza, and the make your own pasta. The ale crust pizza TASTED LIKE BEER! We both expected a sweet taste to it but it tasted like they brushed beer straight on it. The pasta was perfectly cooked and delicious. To top it all off, Amanda was amazing. We never got empty on drinks and she was super attentive and sweet. We will DEFINITELY BE returning SOON.

Mannnn hold up, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. I got a to-​go order for a thin crust small pizza, wings and fries. The pizza looked and tasted like some frozen ish I heated up at home. As I sat eating my sorry pizza in disappointment, I thought about how much tastier and cheaper a Dominos pizza wings combo would be. I rounded up this 1.5 star review because I believe the rest of the menu has potential and the waitress was friendly and brought out the order to the car.
On my 2^nd visit I decided to get the deep dish pizza in the hopes that it might be more robust, and it wasn’t very impressive either. I’ll probably stick with my chain pizza places when I’m picking up an order for home consumption.
On 3^rd visit. I got a calzone and it was pretty tasty.

If you go to this restaurant, don’t order anything other than water to drink. I ordered tea and had to wait a very long time for a refill. By the time it arrived, we were ready to leave so I asked for an empty cup to pour it in to go. It took 15 minutes and asking a manager to get the cup. The next time we went, I was only going to order water, but the waitress seemed better so I went ahead and ordered tea. Big mistake. Cup sat empty for a long time before a refill showed up. Lucky for us, the food was all right because she never once asked if it was all right. I don’t know that the food is good enough to put up with the crummy service at this location.

oh my spaghetti pie, OH MY! got it too go with marinara sauce and grilled chicken. so delicious! I wish I could make this on my own, it would be a hit anywhere. also got the chi town trio appetizer. garlic cheese bread was mediocre. Italian nachos were very tasty. the pepperoni rolls took the cake though! so good. courteous staff and speedy curbside pick up.

Great place. Was passing through and needed a late bite to eat. Had the pretzels with cheese and thin crust pizza. Both were awesome and they have a fantastic beer selection. Our server, Josh was great too. Really nice guy and great service.

Unexpectedly we have turned to this place tonight and had best of food, it was little bit of cheese but food tasted amazing and I had deep dish pizza which was so amazing I craved it for next few hours… friendly serving… I had Thai pai which was amazing but I didn’t feel spicy as it was mentioned in menu

I was in the mood for Chicago style pizza, every time I travel through Chicago we have to get some deep dish pizza! This wasn’t the same as native Chicago pizza, but don’t let that detour you, this place is DELICIOUS! Everything was wonderful.

I really enjoy the food here, and they have great pizzas and craft beer selection. They are open pretty late too, which is great for late night dining. The service is generally pretty good, but they can get fairly busy sometimes and don’t pick up dishes, etc. overall pretty good though for Topeka.

Unfortunately, this is the best pizza in town. Come on Topeka local businesses, let’s have a great local pizza eatery!

Clean, comfortable bar with decent appetizers. Lousy pizza. NOT CHICAGO STYLE. Don’t be fooled by the name. Just another lame chain restaurant, overall. We won’t be back.

I am a high school coach and we travel for competition. It’s hard to find a place that can seat 36 people, 32 of them teenagers. Old Chicago told us to call when we were on the way, and they would hook us up. They sure did! We had an entire section of the restaurant reserved for us when we arrived, and we were greeted with smiles all around. We were in a time crunch, but they had us out of there, fat and happy, within an hour. Pretty great, in my opinion! MUCH better than other Topeka experiences we have had, definitely.
As for the food, well, I think Old Chicago is a great place to go with a group because they have so many options. While I love their pepperjack avocado burger, their calzone, and their pizza, I opted for the avocado chicken salad. It was delicious and healthy. The southwest chicken salad is also delish, and that’s even when they hold the dressing! We come to Topeka two or three times a year, and this will be our go-​to place from now on!
Another plus, and a necessity for us.. .they are open late and serve a full menu past 10pm.

I really like coming here for some late night food and beers. It does however appear the selection of food and beers has been reduced. Such a shame. Still wont keep me from coming back. Food and service great as usual

Overall we liked this place. I would count us as pizza travelers, as in wherever we go we must try all the local and regional offerings.
Walking in was a bit odd. Three hostesses/​wait staff and not a single one actually greeted us or asked us how many in our party. One took some menus and said «follow me.»
Thankfully service improved after that. We explained we were newbies and after our drink order the manager came by and thanked us for choosing Old Chicago and presented us with two coupons for a future visit. Nice!
Pizza took a while, but was quite good. Our kids pizza was a pretty good size and not lava like hot. Drinks were readily filled. Had to wait a while after finishing to see our server, but not overly long. Will more than likely be back!

Old Chicago is just another overpriced chain. I used to work second shift so this was one of the only places in Topeka that I could go to after 11PM, have a beer and eat some food. Inevitably the staff runs my boyfriend and I out just about every time we decide to give the place another chance by playing the WORST music known to man. Sometimes it seems as if the bartenders are getting a little wild and tipsy themselves, as they serve coworkers that must be off the clock and bringing their friends for a cheap and fun time. Maybe that’s just bad luck for the folks who come in later at night, but it’s not really the best way to run a corporate business and loses business like ours.

The server was kind and passably cute. The beer list OK. Otherwise I have nothing to recommend to the visitor or town dweller of this horrid cardboard covered in grease and limpid vegetables — unless you’re a bulemic and don’t want to eat to begin with. Or on a diet. This food — will keep you on it easily. Because it’s awful!!!

My husband and I try to go out at least once a week for our date night and we have been probably everywhere in Topeka. Maybe we are partial because we have spent so much time at Old Chicago but not only do they have some of the best pizza there, the wait staff has to be some of the best wait staff in Topeka. I’m the type of person that if my glass gets empty, your tip has just gone down. Going other places we have yet to find any other place in this town that has such great service AND food. This place has it all!

My family comes here every week. Great beer selection, nice food variety, and good prices

I can’t help but love me some Old Chicago!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the artichoke app, you get a variety of veggies and their amazing garlic bread for dipping… but love me some veggies!
I am obsessed with the calazones and I get the Chicago Seven one… which is so delicious but SOOO much food. This EASILY can be 2 meals if not three!
Also — order the Caprese salad for $ 3.95!
