Specks Bar and Grill

Speck’s Bar & Grill, nestled at 2105 SW Mission Ave in Topeka, offers a warm and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere where locals feel right at home. With an unpretentious interior, loyal regulars and friendly staff, the bar & grill succeeds in combining comfort food with neighborhood charm. Signature items like their homemade-bun burgers and hand-cut fries set them apart, while sports on the TVs and an assortment of beers on tap make it a go-to for relaxed evenings out.

• Homemade burger buns and fries hand-cut in-house.

• A famous three-pound “Speck Burger” challenge for hungry groups.

• Casual, friendly vibe where staff remember regulars and newcomers feel welcome.

• Longstanding family ownership by Deb Harrod, continuing a local Topeka tradition

• Frequent social and music events — from open mic nights to live bands — making it more than just a meal spot.

Since its founding as a family-friendly bar and grill, Speck’s has also embraced a lively social schedule: from Taco Tuesdays and burger-challenges to live music and open-jam nights, there’s something for both casual diners and the post-work crowd.
