Bobo Drive-In has been operating in Topeka since 1948, making it one of the longest-running drive-ins in the state of Kansas. It appeared in Season 3, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives — “American Classics,” aired May 12, 2008 — as a genuine classic American drive-in serving the kind of burgers and fries that the format was built around. It remains open today, still serving from the original location on SW 10th Avenue.

About Bobo Drive-In
Bobo Drive-In represents the American drive-in at its most authentic — the format that Guy Fieri named one-third of his show title. Open since 1948, it has been serving Topeka with the same approach for 76 years: burgers, fries, onion rings, and the kind of food that tastes best through a car window or at a picnic table on a summer night. The current social media presence keeps regulars updated on specials and hours.
