Bobo's Drive In Bobo's Drive In is a classic old drive-in that has been operating in Topeka, Kansas since 1948, and has been at this location on 10th Avenue since 1953. There is a small area with counter or table service, but half of their customers are served by the car-hops. The current owners, Richard and Tricia Marsh, bought Bobo's in 2007, but some of the staff have been there many years. The best items sampled were Bobo's cheeseburger and handmade onion rings. The French fries, Coney Island, chocolate malt, and pork tenderloin were also good, though the tenderloin did not appear to be hand breaded. Bobo's Drive In is known for its Spanish burger and apple pie, but I haven't tried the Spanish burger and wasn't that impressed with the pie. It had a good crust but it tasted to me as if the apple filling was out of a can. Bobo's apple pie is available by the slice or whole pie. I haven't seen the episode, but Bobo's Drive In was featured
on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show on the Food Network in December,
2007.
