Dear Friends:
Regrettably, due to unforeseen business circumstances, Lonnie Q's BBQ will close its doors for good Saturday, August 24, 2024.
Thank you to all the loyal customers that helped make this "Mom & Pop" BBQ restaurant a HUGE success over the past 24 years. We've smoked a lot of BBQ and made a lot of great friends. It's been a FANTASTIC RIDE!
Thank you, and may God bless you all.

We had lunch at Deano's at Deer Creek, which just opened on July 18 at 3150 Southeast 21st Street in Topeka, Kansas. This new restaurant is the creation of Alec Weaver, son of Lon Weaver who had the much loved Lonnie Q's at the same location, which closed a year ago. This is a new venture and Alec leases the building from its new owner. Because Lonnie Q's was a BBQ restaurant, some people are assuming this is as well, but while Alex is honoring some of that tradition with Cheesy Taters, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and the original coleslaw, He is creating a new restaurant with a focus on other items. Just three people total are staffing Deano's, and Alec is the kitchen staff, manager, and other roles. Monday's & Tuesdays he is prepping the food and they are open 7 - 10 AM and 11 AM - 2 PM Wednesday - Saturday. Everything is made from scratch. The menu is limited and we had most of their current lunch menu with a pulled pork/Tom's turkey sandwich, Stampede Smashburger, Cheesy Taters, and fresh cut fries. The smashburger is unique - a quarter pound patty with pickled jalapenos, American cheese and smoky slaw on a brioche bun. The combination of flavors worked well for me and I really enjoyed this burger! The friendly staff saw me taking photos and asked what they were for. When I explained that I blog about my meals I was invited to also try the Cozy Rolls which are cinnamon rolls made with biscuit dough and a lot of butter, topped with buttercream frosting. I thought of it almost as a cinnamon cake. It was served warm and it was very good. Deano's has a slightly larger menu for breakfast than for lunch and I am hearing great things about their house cured bacon. Look for the menu to expand, but not necessarily the BBQ options. There will be chili available as the weather turns cooler.
Have you tried our breakfast sandwich yet? Scrambled eggs, American cheese, house-cured redeye bacon, and garlic mayo on a brioche bun. Add a side of hash browns and a cup of coffee for breakfast bliss!
