Bradley 's has been open for a few years now... it 's a little gem hidden in North Topkea but word is getting out! <br/ <br/ My husband and I recently tried Bradley 's for the first time during lunch. We got there around 12:30 and the place was packed! Very busy and very diner ish feeling. We found a little table right by the door. (Kinda breezy and not recommended during winter months! It took a few minutes for the waiter to get to us but he wasn 't ignoring us it was genuinely busy! The menu featured classic diner fare burgers, sandwiches, a few salads, etc. The special of the day was Pan Fried Chicken. There is a whole separate menu dedicated to breakfast which I studied while we waited for the food to arrive nothing out of the ordinary on there but people rave about the breakfasts at this place and the Cinnamon Buns. So, maybe we 'll have to check that out too. <br/ <br/ As is my way with any new dining venture, I order something I know I 've liked in the past so I can compare fairly. So, a cheeseburger fries it was. My husband ordered a Reuben fries. The prices weren 't too high but they weren 't too low, either. About what you 'd expect, $6 10 per meal. <br/ <br/ It took a while for the food to arrive... but real food takes a while, right? It was worth the wait. It was plated nicely and looked very tasty upon inspection. The fries were delicious, the burger had a great flavor. The accoutrements were all on the side as is standard. The bun looked (and tasted fresh made and not one of the purchased variety. I 'd asked for mayo to dip my fries in and they brought little packets that, I could have done without, but hey at least they had it! I 'd of preferred a bottle or a little cup. There 's just something weird about tearing open little packets of stuff at a sit down restaurant. <br/ <br/ We wanted to try one of the pies that had been touted pre meal by the waiter, but alas, we were just too full. We decided to go back and try the pie on a trip of it 's own. <br/ <br/ The service was fine, no complaints there. What was kinda cool, is you actually have to get up and pay for your meal the old school way. Seems very few restaurants do things that way anymore. Mostly the wait staff does it for you. <br/ <br/ Lots of people rave about this place. I will certainly go back again, but I think they may need to expand soon. We watched 3 different groups leave during our visit because there were no more open tables and no where to wait. It felt very 'close ' and we each had to more more than one to let other patrons pass our table. That aside, it was a pleasant experience. It felt clean and REAL. Like the owner was back there cooking the food and he genuinely cared about you. (I think he probably was, truthfully. Good stuff but dieters beware this place is NOT your friend.

The sandwich and onion rings I received were terrible. Very greasy and bland. For thefood quality and price, I wont be returning.

Breakfast is their specialty but you can't really go wrong with anything you order. Get there early for breakfastthough as they do fill up quickly. And don't forget to grab one of their fresh and numerously varied pies before you leave. Always highly recommend!
