The best hamburger in Topeka, Kansas is at Bobo’s Drive In. It was started by Bob Bobo (this is not a typo) in 1948 and I still go there as often as I can. When Alex comes to town, we go there as a mother/daughter thing, which brings me to my history with Bobo’s.

The original sign which is still there today. They still have carhops.

Photos of the grand opening and the price of a hamburger - $.25.
