Two Biscuits With Sausage Gravy And Two Eggs Any Style
Klinton J.

I've been coming here for a while now and it's been pretty nice. The food comes out fast and hot just like if it was home made. The atmosphere and the staff is great and relaxing to come to.

Greek Omelet
Cole M.

Did I just go to Tip Top again? Hell yeah I did. This time I went for breakfast. Which has LONG time been there calling card to fame. I have probably only checked into this place 2 or 3 times but been here too many times to count. What more is there to say? Cheap food. Great service. Can't come here enough.

Flavorless chicken souvlaki.
Alex C.

Bland, underseasoned Chicken Souvlaki. Among the poorest I've had. Breakfast menu looked good, but avoid the Greek selections.

Greek Salad
Kate D.

Amazing greek diner! Has all day breakfast. Like a good diner, has amazing Greek food. The spinach pie is delicious! The crust is flaky yet moist. The Gyro and Greek salad are out of this world. Filled with feta cheese, Greek olive oil, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers. The service was less than idea. Donna seemed to tired, would be facing away from us sitting at a booth, so we weren't able to flag her down when we needed something. Most of the time service is phenomenal, so I believe this was a one off experience.

Much better waitress! Only seat ! available for two was at the kitchen! Waitress came to us after 29 minute wait that someone took our food from the kitchen ! This place is an institution for cville! Crazy and chaotic ! Waitress kept telling customers that their food was stolen! Quality of the corn cakes has changed! Less sweet and not fluffy. Sausage very small ! Eggs cold and slightly over cooked for a sunny side up ! We didn't get the mean waitress this time! Veggie omelet good , cheese extra !

Spinach salad
Richard H.

Great diner , breakfast served all day . I had a warm spinach salad which was excellent, wife had bacon & egg sandwich which was done exactly how she ordered it , home fries were very good , service was fast and friendly . When in the area I would go back in a minute .

Chicken Souvlaki Platter
Kathy S.

This place is amazing! It was so crowded yet the service was fast and efficient. My food was so good--definitely get the onion rings for an extra dollar!

Lani N.

Great diner with good ole home feels. Everyone was pleasant and kind. I loved the grits!

Roasted Potatoes
Ciji J.

My favorite breakfast/lunch dinner. Their Greek omelette is to die for! If you're visiting during rush hour - don't worry the wait is normally no longer than 15min!

Cheeseburger platter with onion rings.
Monica M.

Found myself and my friend starving after Sunday joyriding thru central VA. Glad I remembered seeing this place on previous travels to Charlottesville. My visit on 3/30/2925 at 1:00 pm was my first. We were seated in less than 5 minutes and this restaurant is busier than a beehive for good reasons. We were given our drinks we ordered quickly. I started with a side tossed salad with Thousand Island dressing. It was perfect to take off some hunger pangs. My friend and I both had the cheeseburger deluxe with onion rings. They arrived in 10 minutes. My friends mom's eyes bugged out when she saw and bit into the huge perfectly batters dipped onion rings. A huge smile ran from ear to ear on her face. The onion rings were cooked to perfection crispy and real onions inside were soft any yummy. The burgers were typical but tasty. It hit the spot. From looking around you to other tables the food was plentiful and devoured down quickly. Those waitresses sure were running around back and forth and you can tell they cared about you as a customer! If you're in the mood for really great diner type food definitely pull in to Tip Top.

Old Fashioned French Toast with side of country ham
Andrew D.

We were in Charlottesville for a Dr's appointment and my wife loves breakfast options, but we were around lunch time. Tip Top showed up as a top recommendation on Yelp! We went and were so happy we did! We only had to wait about 15 minutes, especially considering the crowd of people there and rolling in! Usually a good sign! Great menu options with breakfast all day. It is loud from the number of people there and talking, but that did not distract from our enjoyment. Our waitress was nice, friendly and prompt. So many menu options!! I ended up getting the hot Italian combo sub and my wife got French toast with a side of Country Ham. We each loved every bite! Definitely recommend and we will be back! Don't be intimidated if there is a line. They move people through but we never felt rushed in any way. Classic diner here!!

Typical diner. Quick service, but the waitress was rude. It seemed like they are in rush to get you in and out.
