Burgers, barbecue and pie are among the tasty foods served up by restaurants that users of the crowdsourcing website TripAdvisor consider to be Topeka's best. TripAdvisor's page that highlights restaurants in Topeka as of Sept. 30 identified the following eateries as being the capital city's seven best. 1. The Wheel Barrel, 925 N. Kansas Ave. The Wheel Barrel's menu "elevates comfort food to an art form," its website says . The restaurant, which specializes in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, has been open since 2015 in downtown North Topeka's NOTO Arts and Entertainment District.

Bobo's Drive-In, 2300 SW 10th Ave. Bobo's , which opened in 1953, is known for its burgers, apple pie and carhop service. The drive-in was highlighted in 2008 on Guy Fieri's Food Network program "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

The Blind Tiger Restaurant & Brewery, 417 SW 37th "Some come for the food and stay for the beer," says The Blind Tiger's
