Quinton’s Bar & Deli

While this place is a bar and I hear it has an ok nightlife in the evenings and on weekends, I have to admit that I’m a loser who hates hanging out in bars, so I’ve only experienced this place at lunch time. The food options are pretty decent, and definitely seem to be slightly above average compared to other «bar food» in town. The truffle fries here are amazing and totally worth the upcharge.

I’ve only ever been here when they host live trivia events. It’s a decent space and your typical sports bar type joint. The food is pretty mediocre and the service definitely caters toward the college crowd.

Quinton’s says they are a ‘bar and deli,’ and it’s exactly that. Don’t go here expecting anything fancy, but they do have a good solid menu of sandwiches, soups, and baked potatoes (not as big a menu as it used to be, however– they’ve pared it down significantly,) and a massive beer and shots selections– although they no longer have Stella Artois on tap, which makes me sad. They’re also transitioning into their Fall/​Autumn beers, so some of their advertised Summer beers are gone– but they still had Boulevard Radler, which is lemon-​ginger and sooooo yummy.
I ordered the half French Dip with a bread bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. They have potato bacon soup and chili every day, plus one extra selection. The French Dip was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the soup was delicious too, but the bread bowl was white, bland, and dry– I wish I’d saved those calories and just ordered it in a regular bowl.
The staff is friendly enough, and there’s tons of TV’s on but it’s not crazy loud.

Use to be my favorite place in Topeka. Took the Veggie sandwich off the menu and would not make me one. Such a shame because you know they could have slapped some lettuce and tomato on some bread for me. Please try to accommodate your non meat eaters.

God, what a dump. Came in for drinks and could not have been more disappointed by the dive bar atmosphere and the loud obnoxious patrons. We won’t be back.

Love this place! Went for lunch and had a great time. It was busy but the service was fast and friendly. Even the bar tender helped with table service when things got busy, nice to see. Love the truffle fries, really interesting. Everything was fresh and tasty. Will be back next time I am in town.

Bread bowl soups and burgers are great! Love the loaded baked potato soup especially (not sure if that’s what it’s called, but that’s what it tastes like)!

Probably the worst service I have ever had. Waitress was absolutely rude.

Quinton’s is a great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner. I’ve only tried their beef & brie, which was delicious, and friends have told me that the other sandwiches & burgers are great. I really didn’t care for the atmosphere, but other than that, I enjoyed it.

A friend and I ate at this place as a last resort because we couldn’t decide where else to eat… and we were glad we did. The staff is very nice and our orders came out quickly. The deli sandwiches are yummy. Will go back to this place in the future.

Quinton’s new location in Topeka is my new favorite place to go out to grab a quick drink with friends any night of the week. The staff is super friendly, the drinks — especially the specials — are very reasonable, and they make Long Island Iced Tea without the mix. Plus they have Guinness on tap and Jamison on the shelf which meets my requirement for a five star rating — ability to make Irish Car Bombs.
With a mix of tables, booths, and bar seats, its a comfortable place to meet up with a date or a large group of friends. The back half of the bar has darts set up and there are a number of televisions. The jukebox is one of those video ones that can play pretty much anything and the crowd is pretty mixed all round from age to ethnicity (this bar is in the same strip as Bullfrogs Live and The Jet but doesn’t seem to pull much of their clientele from either. Its friendlier and has a more mellow vibe.) I was totally comfortable sitting at this bar alone waiting on friends for over an hour on a Wednesday night. I would definitely recommend this bar to people visiting from out of town.
Quinton’s also serves food but I’ve never tried it (kitchen closes at 10p). They have a small fenced off smoking patio from which there is a scenic view of Gage Bowl and later at night, an impromptu floor show as people run out in traffic on Huntoon while crossing between Bullfrogs Live and Skinnys in the strip mall across the street.
