Tops Cafe

I had the the chicken tetrazzini, buttered corn, fried okra, salad and rolls. My food was very good. Especially the tetrazzini and the corn. My mom had the chicken fried chicken, turnip greens, broccoli and cheese, and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. She said everything was pretty good and she would order it again. The chicken crust was a lil hard and the greens were really good. We had banana pudding and peach cobbler for dessert and the peach cobbler was a lil dry and was not made with dough… I can’t put my finger on it but we didn’t eat it. But over all we will be back to try more it was pretty good and you get a lot for your money!

This place is a Great place to eat some good Soul food cooking & My Wife & I number 1 places to eat!!!

The most unorganized, ill prepared, mean and disrespectful place I have ever visited. The workers do not use gloves or wear hair nets. The food was utterly horrible, the atmosphere was chaotic as a summer storm. The price of food was grossly overpriced. The communication between the customer and the server was despicable and disrespectful. I will never visit this rancid, lowdown, ratchet, gutbucket establishment again!

A local spot with a lot of regulars nice quiet home style cooking at a very low cost food is very rich reminds you home

Tops Café, been going with my son, everytime I ask where do you want to go eat, it’s Tops Café, yes it’s very good food, yes there is always a crowd but what do you expect with such a great food is served! Love it best burgers ever…

$ 6.75 for an entrée and THREE sides. It also includes biscuits and cornbread before with butter and jelly. I had the fried okra, the mac and cheese, the mashed potatoes, and the meatloaf, which you can get with tomato sauce or brown gravy. Each day the chef makes something different. It was very heavy and very what you expected. Someone else tried the chicken fried steak. The chicken and the okra tasted, I’m not sure how you say it, frozen and heated up and put on the plate. This place is very affordable and fast, if you’re in a hurry, which we were. It’s sort of like the old Dot’s in North Austin. But I wouldn’t drive to Dallas just to check it out.
It is filled with Oak Cliff regulars, and it’s a bleu hair special type of place, sort of like the Nighthawk. They will be happy to see the low rating in order to keep randoms out of the establishment, I’m sure.
It did take three of us in order to flag down a waitress to get a second cup of coffee.
Suffice to say, this will kick-​start my new year’s resolutions to eat healthier foods in the new year.

Here’s a hidden breakfast joint that’s very well priced and filled with locals & regulars. The breakfast portions are a bit larger than average but they satisfy the taste buds. The staff was friendly but this place is hard to find if you’re not from the area. It’s had a long history so they know how to make a good breakfast.

I have eaten breakfast here for years. Love their omelets and the breakfast tacos. Lunch is good but not great

I couldn’t find much at the restaurant that I could get excited about. A dear friend took us here and it’s always difficult when a friend really loves a place and you want to be polite when they ask you if you enjoyed your meal … You say «Yes» and then come home and promptly thrash the place on the Internet.
The biscuits were industrial at best the gravy was rubbery! I ask you… HOW do you even DO that? The hash browns were tasteless. All in all I’ll never set foot in here again if I can help it.
On the upside — I did not see any bugs, nor did I get sick nor did anybody else we went with.

I’ve been here quite a few times. It can be packed at times, but that’s the same for any half decent place on a Sunday afternoon. So why Sunday’s??? Well, on the menu they have different choices for different days. The main staples are always available, but there’s some other dishes that come and go. I go for the Chicken and Dressing, side of mash, and mac. Before you eat, you get a basket of rolls and cornbread. Plus the jelly, butter, and honey are a nice treat. I enjoy some cornbread with butter and slight honey before my food arrives.
This dish is good. For those that have read my other reviews, you know that I won’t throw out the word great, even for places I frequent. Good is a compliment. I’ve had a couple bad experiences. One was the food was the chicken and dressing was lacking, not even the cranberry sauce that comes with it helped, and the other time was service related, as well as the food not being great. That time I tried the chicken fried chicken, but it wasn’t so good, just eh.
I recommend the chicken and dressing at this place, because it’s the only thing I order after trying a lackluster burger, and chicken fried chicken. ³⁄₅ stars from me on this particular dish. It keeps me coming back from time to time.
That’s all I have. Places I frequent usually get 3-​stars… I’m itching to find the first place that will get my first 4 and 5 star ratings. It’ll have to be great, because I’m not just going to give it away.
