What comes out of the kitchen is not nearly as tasty as it once was. It really lacks the BBQ flavor of years gone by. Meat portions are small. If you really love good BBQ you won't find it here anymore.
Good cornbread though.

I am a southerner. Born and raised in Alabama and lived in Florida for two decades. I recently moved to Topeka to live with my lovely bride. She raved about this place. So, as a Southerner, I had to see if this BBQ was any good. I got pork sandwich with slaw on it. Typical in the South. Oh my goodness, it was great. The BBQ beans really good. I really enjoy it. I do have to agree about service though. The tend to be very slow getting to you. I recently ate there on a Saturday and there were only three tables with people at them. It took almost 15 minutes for someone to come to my table. Then, I had to wait almost that long to get my ticket after I finished. Great BBQ,mediocre service.
good food, bad service

The BBQ is always good as with the cornbread but the waiters are not. I don't know if they are short on help all the time or if the help just doesn't care but have fun getting anything from them. On more than one occasion I have came in and went upstairs and had to wait over 10 minutes before anybody even came over and took our order, even with other people already upstairs!
Good, but not like it used to be

Definitely the best BBQ in town, but it seems to have dropped off recently. The cornbread is, of course, the best, but they seem stingier with it, I’ve had a lot of orders messed up and their servers seem to be perpetually rushed, even when it’s not crowded (too many tables per server, perhaps?). Not sure what’s changed but something seems wrong.
better than ever

Boss Hawg's is STILL cranking out the best bbq in Topeka. The legacy of Hank Lumpkin lives on in delicious, tender bbq with some of the tastiest baked beans in the country. Keep horrifying the vegetarians!
It was better when the original owner was still alive

The last time we went there, we were very disappointed. The food (ribs) and sevice were not good at all. It used to be better than this...back when the original owner was still living.
Great Cornbread ....and BBQ too!

"Topeka Eater" you hit the nail on the head. Yes their BBQ is great and you can customize it to your exact taste with all of their signature sauces within arm's reach, but I crave their cornbread. For those of you that like sweet cornbread, this place is for you. I have yet to leave there without asking for some of it to go....ever.

I know everyone loves the BBQ and I do too. I just can't get enough of the cornbread. I really like how the window seals are full of different BBQ sauces. It must have taken alot of time to collect all those.
Great Ribs

They do have the best ribs in town. I only wish they sliced their brisket instead of chopping it, but that's just me.
Good BBQ

Really good BBQ, esp. the ribs. Can get a little pricey, but Double Your Dollar has online gift certificates.

Everything I've had there has been good. Especially like Juan's Chimichanga and the flour tortillas with queso.
