The service was great! The staff was so friendly and it was so clean in the restaurant. Our food came out so fast. It was hot and so good. The pulled pork was delicious and so was the cheese burger! Definitely coming back. read more

Ribs were tough. Still had skin on back. Half slab uneatable. Waste of $20. Was hoping their food had improved. Not the first time. read more

Love tops but HATE this location! They put WAY too much pepper on the burgers even after being told no pepper. You can't even taste the burger at all because all you taste is the pepper. If a customer says no pepper and you ring up "no pepper" don't put it on there! read more

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

Always good food. Everytime we go it's pretty fast and accurate. One of the only bbq places my elderly mother likes. Kids love the burgers.

Idk what's been going on at the Millington tops, but recently they're taking 45 minutes to get people their food in the drive through. Many people pulling out of the line due to this and they're having you pay and then wait another 20 minutes for your food. It's unacceptable. This wasn't just a one time thing. I've heard others mention it recently. Y'all gotta slaughter the pig/ cow? read more

I got wrong orders smashed burgers and no fries in loaded fries with to much to pay for it try better service and more stuff in the meals and love and pride in it read more

Terrible first experience. I've never heard anyone rave over Tops but I was really craving BBQ and they were the only place open on Sunday night so I figured I'd give them a try...despite the fact that it's a 20 minute drive for me. They had an easy online ordering process, and the wait was only 10-15 min. That's where the positive notes to this operation starts and ends...the online ordering *appeared to be* effective and smooth. I show up on time and when I gave my name to the order taker, she immediately lowered her head, walked to the back to yell "-my name-" is here, then left out the front door in a hurry. There were nervous glances between the staff until the "manager" came out and asked "where is he?" At which point she approached me to inform me that they were out of brisket and ribs. Let's pause for a few seconds for a quick review: A BBQ joint...in the city that is supposed to be the birthplace of southern-style BBQ...that is open for business...out of the two main BBQ meats they serve...and they are still taking orders for stuff they don't have. I will say that the manager did indeed apologize and started off semi-cordial about my situation. However, she offered no compensation for my time and did not offer to "make it right" in any way. In fact, her demeanor and tone turned defensive fairly quickly. She was not coming across as customer-friendly or accommodating in the least. Another brief pause for a somewhat lengthy and admittedly shameless disclaimer: I *absolutely* understand that people have bad days, weeks, months, even years. And I am acutely aware of the pressures and maddening potentials of working with and for the general public. That does not mean you shouldn't have a *minimal* baseline of cordiality throughout all interactions with customers that are willing to pay your bills with their money, as a representative of the company you put a uniform on for, and especially as a member of leadership in said company. I asked the manager to cancel my order, which she promptly did without attempting to keep my business. I have yet to check the account associated with the card I paid with, but hopefully that issue won't add yet another stake in the heart of my opinion of this place (I have the cancellation receipt if needed, of course). To the owners: I suggest that you should first create a solid quality assurance program (which is lacking in a major way, especially in the customer service arena) or fix the broken one if one actually exists; then I recommend that you fix the broken online ordering system to show only items that you can actually produce and provide to paying customers. read more

First off tops smells a lot better than it tastes. I'm pretty sure they just pump good bbq smell out to lure you in. Than being said, it's not bad, but for sure not great. Actually I really love their bbq sauce, but I don't feel like their bbq is a good example of Memphis bbq. They also have good fries. Some people rave about their burgers, but a bbq place serving 'good' burgers should be a red flag. I don't care for their burgers btw. If you're in a pinch, Tops will do. But you better not rely on the drive thru... it can take way longer than expected. read more

Ordered food, brisket with ries, Mac and Cheese. First they were put of brisket so I got pulled pork. Then they came and told me no Mac and cheese so I got more fries. Order came and they had the wrong bbq sauce on there. There was no sweet bbq sauce at the tables anything. My wife and I could not finish our pulled pork taste was bad. They charged me 1 dollar extra for the Mac and cheese which I never recieved. I ask for my money back and they would only trade food. read more

This is my second time coming here. Last time it was about 4 years and last night nothing changed. Tops apparently has been in business since 1952 and personally I don't see why it's so popular, besides it may only be the only BBQ place in this city. Last night I ordered their BBQ sampler which includes two rib bones, Beef Brisket and Shoulder. All three of them are extremely dry, but the Brisket was very tough and chewy. Of course, adding BBQ sauce definitely helps and considering this is a BBQ restaurant one would think they might receive a decent amount of BBQ sauce for something that costs almost $20 with tax. However, you are only given a small one ounce container of sauce. For comparison purposes one ounce of sauce is about one table spoon, maybe less. This was a Togo order. Overall their baked beans and coleslaw are pretty good. I just wouldn't recommend this place unless you are starving. The ribs are mostly fat. The only thing here that is eatable is the regular bbq that's diced up. [Review #626] (16th Review of 2020) read more

Today I went and got me some food I ordered a jumbo pork sandwich extra slaw n extra sauce well behold the sandwich was regular with nothing extra on it. It took them 30 minutes to prepare the food I should've known better! To top that off I order a pint of beans they had large chunks of meat in them and some large bone gristles in it that almost choked the hell out of me! I call them and the young lady played on the phone because the manager told her to hold it until I hang up. The service is horrible for a small community. Customer service has really went down everywhere except chic fil a read more

This was the worst BBQ I have ever had! Slapping sweet BBQ sauce on brisket doesn't make it BBQ! Ribs were disgusting brisket was disgusting and tough! read more

Food is not as good as other locations. I had a pulled pork bbq sandwich delivered. There wasn't any barbecue sauce and literally a tablespoon of slaw on my sandwich. The barbecue queso fries were cold and did not have queso sauce only white American cheese that did not melt. The place is overhype. Disgusting food. Will definitely not order again. Service and ambiance are -1 read more

Never heard of this place until today. Clean looking inside and out. I choose the huge sampler it comes with ribs, pork, fries, and coleslaw. I decided to try all the barbecue sauces mild, hot, and sweet sauce. The coleslaw is very creamy and the fries very crispy. I kinda like the hot and sweet very tasty. This is a Military friendly location. I'm told the cheeseburger are awesome!!! read more

Three stars bc they have awesome burgers but for heavens sake. THE BBQ NACHOS ARE HORRIBLE. I will never get these again. Too much sauce. No cheese. The meat was tough. And I ordered before noon. I'm going back to get a burger. I'll stick to central or A&R next time. They have good bbq nachos. read more

I grew up eating Tops BBQ. I just moved to Millington from Memphis and I can tell you of all the locations, this one is the best! It's as I remember it tasting when I was a kid. The Memphis locations are doing something different with the pork because it just doesn't have that smoky flavor and smell. So happy about this Millington location. read more

The burgers used to be amazing but now they're cold and tasteless... what happened we used to go their at least once a week for lunch but not anymore until they get their burgers back to their awesomeness. This is the millington location read more

The costumer service was poor and they totally messed up our order and refused to fix it. We managed to get a refund though but had to fight for it. The food was looked decent but unappetizing. The ambiance was alright but I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

The quality of the food at Top's has declined. It's hit or miss with the pulled pork. Still one of my favorites & the service is always fast & friendly. read more

The food was good, I felt the portion size on the nachos could have been bigger, my daughter and granddaughter had cheeseburgers, my grandson had the nachos and I had the BBQ Bologna read more

For a quick bite right off the highway it's very good. Brisket nachos were excellent.

UPDATE!!!!!! Gave Tops a 1 star review with the below writeup. Finally came back to give it another shot and they fired the guy who was causing all the issues and the service and quality is back to well above 5 stars! Best burger in Town hands down! Have been coming here for lunch at least once a week for almost 2 years. There were a wonderful group of people who had worked here the whole time. Recently, a new group of workers showed up. Specifically a very large man with a spider tattoo on his neck. I have witnessed him wear the same pair of gloves while walking away from the grill and touching everything including receipt paper, the register, trash, dirty trays, and most disgusting himself who at the time was very sweaty. He would then go right back to over cooking burgers on the grill with the same pair of gloves on. This used to be one of the best places in Millington to eat. The service was awesome, easily the best burgers in town, BBQ was delicious. BRING BACK THE OLD CREW!!!! Will not be returning along with many other repeat customers. read more

The food is great and the employees are friendly and amazing! I have never had to wait for someone to come to the front counter here like I have at some of the other restaurants in the area. read more

Visited this location 2 more times during a late night snack run. After I was greeted in the drive thru I was told to hold on and no one ever came back. Me and 3 others left. After going elsewhere still saw people waiting as I drove by just as I have before. Tops BBQ is actually a decent place to eat but this location needs to get it together! read more

The burgers at tops are fantastic! It is always fresh and served like it should be. The burger experience will have you second guessing whether you want BBQ or a burger. The pulled pork BBQ is great, so much flavor. One of my favorite places in the Memphis area to get traditional style BBQ. Since the ownership changed a few years ago, the slaw and beans have both been changed and it is not a positive change. The staff, even in the drive through, makes you feel welcomed and you can tell they are listening to what you are ordering and care about getting it right. read more

I had brisket and it was not good, very tough. My husband had the sampler platter. The pulled pork was ok, ribs overcooked, dry, tough and again the brisket was not good. Slaw was ok, beans had no taste. Employees were not customer focus...very unmotivated to even be polite. Also saw the cook filling the french fry bag with his bare hands. read more

The one in millington was one of the best Tops around! New owners have changed the slaw and the beans and not for the good! I ordered a family pack and it was chopped and was mostly fat! Makes me so sad! It needs to ho back to what it once was! read more

Just finished up a round of delicious Bar-B-Que from Tops, Millington location. We sat outside, 3 tables available with a smoking ashtray post available at the farthest table close to the shrubs/bushes in the covered patio area. We sat with our dog out there, the patio is very pet-friendly. The staff offered to bring some a treat; not sure if they have a water bowl for your pet, so bring a container/bowl or ask for the styrofoam mini-bowl to get your pet hydrated. We picked out the pulled pork sandwich combination, with drink and Krinkle Kut French fries. The sandwich was chock-full of smoky pork, and did not skimp on portions! A layer of coleslaw topped the sandwich, and enhanced the hefty round bun. The slaw did not run gloopy nor overpower; it was the perfect companion to the pulled-pork sandwich. Hot fries and a 1/2 iced tea/lemonade rounded out the lunch. Staff were great! One staffer came out to greet our dog, and struck up a friendly conversation. Food is made to order and served with a friendly smile and demeanor. I'll be returning to another location, as they are located in quite a few places in the Memphis area. read more

Great barbecue but they have the best burger in town. It doesn't matter what you order, it's gonna be great. If you have a party event they have that covered, too. I ordered barbecue to take to my son in laws 30th birthday party. Everything we needed was supplied including plates, napkins, etc. the pulled pork was a hit and wasn't hard on the wallet!! read more

Half slab of ribs, sides of baked beans and potato salad, medium drink. $17.49 The ribs were very fatty with zero taste.

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

We tried the burger, ribs & the BBQ nachos. The ribs were a little dry. My husband thought the burger was ok. The BBQ nachos was just ok too. Too much cheese & the BBQ sauce & pork isn't something we'll be craving anytime soon. They do have a 10% Military discount & the portions are big. But next time we crave for BBQ we'll probably go elsewhere unless where feeling really lazy and don't feel like driving too far. read more
