    Amazing Bar-B-Que

    You know the food is good when they are only open until the food runs out! This is the best Bar-B-Que in Topeka for sure!

    Loved it!

    Probably the best BBQ in Topeka. Come early, but if there's a line don't worry. Moves quick. Ribs are only certain days and when they are gone that's it.

    Lonnie Q's is about as consistent as consistent is. You can count on quality well flavored meats and generous servings of brisket, pork or smoked turkey, or rib slabs (Fri. eve. only?) along with choices of sides including cheesy potatoes, baked beans or slaw. If...More

    Nice Lunch

    I picked Lonnie Q's because it had some good reviews and the location is convenient if you are driving in from the east on I70. Even though we arrived shortly after 11am, there was a line. One of the reasons there is a constant line,...More

    Good Food. Odd Hours. I ate this as a business catering situation. I would recommend for business luncheons.

    The owner opened the door and personally greeted the people in the long line waiting for the restaurant to open. That “welcome to my home” hospitality set the tone for our visit. After greeting everyone, he went to serve his guests. This restaurant is clean...More

    Lonnie Q’s is a hidden gem in the Topeka/Shawnee County area. Just north of the dam at Lake Shawnee, Topeka, Kansas. Amazing BBQ, and trust me, choose the cheesy potatoes. The decor is professionally locally sourced. Heavy influenced from the close relationships of the Owner...More
