With good reason, the Vikings is remarkably similar to The Landing in east Topeka. Both restaurants were originally established by the Reed brothers. The main dining areas are darkened for atmosphere, but the ambience is totally destroyed by the bad acoustics and noise level. Both...have lighted quieter meeting rooms that can be reserved with a returnable deposit. The Viking Meeting room is long and is suitable for large (~35-40 people) groups. Both restaurants are open for lunch and dinner, The menus are similar, but vary slightly. They serve in plentiful portions, and have a full service bar.More

The restaurant was very clean and the server was nice. I ordered the beef nachos though and the chips they make in house were very oily, some weren't even very crunchy and the beef had good flavor but it was also very greasy. The salsa...tasted weird. It had a weird tang to it. Kind of like if the tomatoes were going bad or there was hint of alcohol in it. I was bummed as I was looking forward to salsa. The jalapenos were from a can, not fresh. Their white cheese dip was pretty good though and they gave a lot of cheese with the nachos (which I ordered on the side). If someone invited us there again I would go but I would order something completely different and nothing that involved their homemade chips. My husband has been there before and after my visit he agreed that the tortilla chips are really greasy.More

This was the first time that I have been here since the place was remodeled. I loved the atmosphere and the roominess of the place. The appetizers that we ordered were fantastic. I liked the French Dip sandwich and the slaw. My wife thought the...meat was a bit too much like hamburger, though she loved the Sidewinder fries. The best thing on the menu is the homemade chicken and noodles on homemade mashed potatoes. This would be a good family place to go eat and the prices are pretty reasonable for a bar and grill. I definitely recommend itMore
