Overview

Town Topic has been a Kansas City institution since 1937, when Claude Sparks opened the first location with a simple counter and five stools. This classic American diner is known for its small, griddle-smashed burgers, hand-cut fries, and all-day breakfast. The downtown location operates 24 hours a day and has become a beloved late-night spot for everyone from business professionals to bar-goers. The vintage neon sign and stainless steel exterior make it an iconic part of Kansas City's landscape.
