Nothing about this place is worth more than a one star. It's like they're intentionally trying to make people not want to eat there. Service and food on the 2 occasions I tried were absolutely unacceptable. read more

Delicious, but I knew it was going to be when I opened the door and smelled the cooking aromas. I had the sampler plate with ribs (perfect), brisket, and pulled pork shoulder. The Cole slaw was tangy, and I had t have a hot apple tart to finish off. It was all very good. We will definitely be back! read more

I would not have given this Tops location a single star. They are in desperate need of management! Food was not edible. It's a disgrace that we paid for food this bad. Deplorable! DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT GO THROUGH DRIVE THRU. read more

Tops Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

"Tried" them again maybe for the third time and once again the food was not good. This time I got the regular bbq pulled pork sandwich combo with coleslaw and bbq beans. The food was bland and had no taste. I am not sure who's in charge there. The customer service was not the greatest. Just hiring anybody. The "regular" pull pork sandwich was extremely thin barely any more. Not even any bbq sauce on it. Bbq beans was bland and coleslaw was alright 3/5... this place is not worth the price .. read more

We have been told how good the hamburgers are here. I will admit they were decent. My biggest complaint is with the buns. Mine and my wifes burger buns were dry and crumbly. The burgers could have been really good if it wasn't for the buns. I got a side of baked beans and they were really good. They had pieces of brisket in them. read more

We came around 6pm for dinner. The cashier was nice but it looked like she was face timing someone and was talking to them behind the counter. Not sure how or why that's aloud especially since they were out of sweet tea and the lobby was really dirty. read more

Dec., 31st at approximately 2:45pm, my grandson and I went to the Bartlett location on Stage Rd, serviced through the drive thru. On our way to my mom's house my grandson son said grandma there is a finger nail in my fry bag. He ordered the jumbo pulled pork sandwich, no slaw double fries and a sprite to drink ticket #157, I was shocked and in disbelief so I pulled the truck over and yes it was a pressed on fake finger nail in the fry bag, that meant that the employees were fixing and preparing food with their bare hands, we both were totally disgusted. We will never go to that location again. read more

Once again I've encountered a moron that thinks their primary job is to answer the damn phone. Right in the middle of the order the phone rings and the employee immediately ignores the customer, answers the phone, takes the order. I'm standing there and she completely ignores me. Pathetic!!!! read more

Haven't been to tops in a few years and decided to stop and get a cheeseburger combo earlier today . It was the BEST burger I've had in a while along with the sides. So juicy and cooked to perfection and also fresh. I saw someone with blue dreads on the grill . I'm coming back more often and I hope that person is preparing my burger again read more

Gets worse every visit. The worker was throwing food in bags like it was trash. The meat was crunchy on the pulled pork sandwich. Fries were old. read more

I write this before I even got the food. It's now 24 minutes since I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries..... and I sit here writing a review because no matter how the food is it will NOT make up for the service (or lack of). 25 mins now.... read more

This is at least our third time to eat at this location and I can tell you that the bbq was tasty but they made no attempt to sort fat and tough bark that I was inedible out of any of the meals we purchased. We had three different types of orders including a pound of pulled pork. If I had been dining in I would have complained and sent it back. We went through the drive through and after spending twenty minutes in line it was a real disappointment. I don't think we will be going back. These pictures show how much fat found found in two different meals. read more

Tops Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

See all

The service was horrible. I waited around for about 5 minutes as I stood in front of the register and 2 employees just paid me no mind. The rack of ribs was dried out. The table was dirty and I had to request it wiped down. Nobody was apparently cleaning nobody was in charge of the dining room. The place was not busy inside. I stopped by around 1630-1700 ish. I know Memphis is noon for barbecue and I wanted to get experience with my dad during this road trip. The only good thing I could say was the grape Kool-Aid. Also they serve your sauce in a bag. Never coming back. read more

What a great way to get BBQ man let me tell you my experience yesterday I came in. I was greeted by a young lady I believe her name was Katy She was very nice. She suggested a few things I got the half slab rib plate with mac & cheese and beans and it was excellent. The dining experience was great everything was clean food came out, hot and fresh. I will definitely be returning back to this location. read more

Waited in a very long line for some incredibly bad food. Topps has switched to a different slaw that is awful. The buns fall apart. The fries were too salty and I love salt! My daughter's nachos weren't good either. For this to be a brand new place, it was a big disappointment. I'll never go back. read more

The service and attitude are unbelievably bad. When I pulled up to the drive-through, I was told you'll have to hold for a minute. Rude as can be. The woman running the drive-through is very rude. I had a similar experience last time I was here. Why spend all this money, building a restaurant, and let people like this ruin your reputation. The food was good. But the people are a joke. 1/2 a star i read more

Bought dinner for ny family this evening....the usual...chopped bar-b-que, buns, slaw and beans. Awesome! Was waited on by the new Manager, Kaytie, and she was great! Very personable and accommodating. I will be back....sooner than later. read more

I come to eat a fire-braised chicken sandwich, fries & an apple turnover with a sweet tea every single night with my husband. The whole crew always greets me as if I am a part of their little family. The night managers Stacy and Josey always make sure our order is correct, hot, & fast. They all deliver service with a smile. The chicken always melts in my mouth & that's why I travel a little further to this location. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

My "go to" for a BBQ pork Plate! Always more than I can eat! The restaurant is very clean. Staff friendly & efficient! Thank you Tops BarB-Q !! read more

I got bbq nachos I received small broken chips, a little meat like small amount. Small amount of cheese. The worst

Definitely worth it to drive to the one in millington. The staff is apathetic, asked for mild sauce and sweet tea was given no sauce and unsweet tea. Definitely will not be going back to this one. read more

The beef brisket was soo bad, they sent us the driest hardest pieces they could scrape from bottom of the gutter. Not even exaggerating, we tried eating it and just couldn't . read more

I went through the drive through today and the young lady was not friendly taking my order first off. Secondly I originally ordered the brisket sandwich and was told they were out of brisket which was no problem so I ordered a rib sandwich. I paid for my meal and again the same lady that took my order was not friendly. In the service industry this should be a number one standard of practice. When I got home to enjoy my rib sandwich I'm very glad I didn't take an aggressive bite because my ribs were still on the bone. I couldn't believe it and luckily didn't break my teeth. I'm still amazed at the incompetence that they made the sandwich with rib meat, bones and all...absolutely ridiculous!!! I will not be visiting this TOPS again. read more

I came inside to eat today. I had a regular pork sandwich combo. It was the skinniest bbq sandwich I've ever had. They had several workers not doing much. I placed my own order. The phone rang off the wall and nobody answered it. Looking around it is the dirtiest place. Floors are filthy as well as table bases. Windows dirty. Flies everywhere. To be a relatively new place it's a shame. I came once when there grown men working in back and had a much better experience. You can't leave kids watching your business. read more

Tops has elevated their prices to match (and in some cases exceed) the elite, yet they've done nothing to elevate the product (all encompassing) to reach that standard. Tops was always known for good value, no frills. That was their niche. That was the market share they were after. Now, who knows? They've become the worst value available. If there's a market for that, they've nailed it. Two stars but only because I'm in a good mood. read more

Woman taking my order yelled at me to "roll up the window on my damn dog" when I pulled up through the drive through with my golden retriever puppy's head sticking out the back window. She was incredibly rude to me over the speaker when I tried clarifying that I wanted a single cheeseburger, not a double. I usually love going to Tops but this experience made me never want to go back. I work in the fast food industry and I would get fired in a heart beat if I ever talked to a customer the way she did read more

I have been to tops bbq several times and every time they do not get my order right! I wasn't the only one because several people said the same thing that their order was wrong. Why is this? and the drive through is so dang slow- what gives- Get some better workers or something. Very frustrating because I really like the food. But I give a place 3 times, and then I am out! read more

At this location I found out today that if they can get it wrong they will. Ordered a cheeseburger with mustard pickle and onion. Girl who looked about 12 punched it into the register and said "Cheeseburger mayonnaise pickle and onion." I corrected her and she supposedly corrected it. I also ordered a jumbo bbq with extra sauce on the side. Usually that means sauce on the bbq and a little plastic cup of sauce along with it I should have checked my receipt-- and my food-- before I left. The receipt said "ketchup pickle and onion." I was afraid to look at the burger when I got home. It's in the fridge for tomorrow night. I'm afraid instead of the ketchup I didnt order it will have tartar sauce on it. If the receipt is right, she couldnt even punch it in right on the second try. The bbq not only had no extra sauce, it had NO sauce. None. And it also had no slaw. None. But it did have two large pieces of fat that a blind man could have seen. The girl who took the order either can't read or can't hit the right button on the register. The cook? Who serves a bbq without sauce at all, with large pieces of fat in it? I went mainly for the cheeseburger. Brad's is a mile away. Never had a problem there, with the service or the great bbq. Goodbye Tops. BTW, this was at 4 in the afternoon. There were two customers eating in the restaurant at the time and nobody but me ordering, so they cant say they were busy, and with this type of service they shouldnt be. read more

Tops BarB-Q use to be one of my favorite Bar-B-Q restaurants around. However the Tops in Bartlett has me looking into other alternatives. There are four Bar-B-Q restaurants near me in Bartlett and I favor Fat Larry's above all of them and Tops drags in in last place. The food has went down hill steadily since they open. The service is bad and your lucky to get the right food when going through drive-thru. The employees almost seem to have an attitude when you request addition sauce or ask for some thing they were suppose to give you in the first place. The drive-thru use to have long lines but there isn't any lines any more. I think it speaks to the quality of the food and service that you get currently there. I have asked for slaw on my sandwich multiple times lately and got home with no slaw. The last sandwich had a few french fries in the pork when I removed the bun to add sauce. It makes me never want to go back. I have called and complained the management but they don't care just make excuse. And on top of that they are charging more and giving smaller portions. If the is the service and product that they are now servicing then they might find themselves without customers. read more

I honestly dont know why everyone says this place is so great. Long wait for a cold burger that tastes similar to a sonic burger. Little disappointed that everyone flocks to this place when there's an AMAZING bbq restaurant called Ty's Smokehouse down the road. But hey.. the potato salad was pretty good. read more

Placed an order for the fireman sandwich with just meat and slaw. It came with everything no big deal, carried it back to be corrected. They were short staffed so I waited, at about 20 min I ask to check on it. The lady and the cooks started arguing and he threatened to walk out. They begged him to stay, another 15 minutes passed and I ask again about the remake. A guy came out from the back and said he refunded my card. I ask about my lunch I were they out of it? His response was he was from another store and he couldn't deal with this crap. I took the receipt and left. In the 45 minutes I was in the lobby 12 people came in waited and walked out. The drive thru person hollered "Cheap ass ho" at someone leaving the window. What a great place to go. I gave 2 stars only because the older lady at the counter was trying and apologized for the restaurant. read more

Wow ! The bbq here was spot on. Every time I eat here the product has been consistent.The service was great and my orders have always been correct. I don't have to go double check anything. If you are around this location and have a taste for great food i highly recommend it. read more
