Specks Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Topeka

The gal who was 1 of the bartenders was so super drunk it was embarrassing. The crowd was just young drunken kids who looked like fools. It's really gone down hill. Shout out to the guy bartender looking after patrons who were so drunk & passing out at the bar for giving him water, being professional and SOBER! This was on Saturday. Also the 1st time my daughter & I went there to eat after Debbie sold it. The food was awful, fries were burnt, they forgot my daughters burger. So by the time she finally got her burger mine was cold. Not trying to sound like a Karen and I hope as time goes on they will figure out all the kinks. Even then the workers were just not friendly & even My daughter said it seemed like we were a burden to them even though all we did was oder food, the gal didn't write any of it down & forgot my daughters food. And I'm only frustrated because I know what this place used to be when Denise...

I have gave this place a chance multiple times recently and they have failed almost on all accounts besides getting you a drink. Even then they're not sure how to make many drinks. My food has been completely cold the last few times I've been there and it almost tooķ an hour to get our food. I just threw it away when I got home. The bartenders have no idea what's going on, and this place is an absolute joke at this point. All the bartenders had to do is go to the kitchen and bring our food out earlier or just go check on it. They told us it was getting cooked in the meantime, which ended up being an hour and they weren't that busy either and I tipped them well the whole time....

Always great food, service, and people! I feel safe coming to Specks and love that I can bring my daughter and feel comfortable in knowing I need not worry about being messed with and just have a peaceful great tasting meal. Sometimes she gets up to sing on stage on open jam night. Always cool! We love Charlie and Andrew on the nights they are present and perform as well. Thanks Debbie for giving us a home away from home, keeping the history in the family, and open for our pleasure to eat great food and enjoy live music and enabling new talent in providing a place for them...
