Had breakfast on a cold February morning and wish we went to Eggs Up instead. The room temperature was well below the comfortable zone and our coffee was initially served cold, as if it was in the thermo pot from the day before. Menu was expensive for what you got. Basic breakfast items were fair but not memorable. I see no need to pass by any one of the many other diners in the area to eat here. read more

Food and staff is friendly relaxing and have a live jazz duo on Sundays. As a feedback, if the place is not busy, why seat all the people together? the place is huge, and as a customers we wish we were seated somewhere where we don't hear other people's conversations. The only waiter in the restaurant had the people seated in only one road of booths back to back instead of spare some space in between people. read more

Tops Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Overall a good experience but with some caveats. We came in on a Saturday a few weeks ago in a group of 8. I had placed a reservation a few days before and they were able to seat us quickly. The service and the ambience was very good. Speed of the food came out very fast and they came up and checked on us pretty often and made sure our glasses were full. However the food was a bit questionable for terms of the quality. My friend's chicken fried steaks were overcooked and quite rubbery. Another friend ordered steak to be medium rare and it came out well done. I would have said something but they did not want to bother the server, however I may choose a different place to go to brunch next time. read more

Everything about our visit to Tops Cafe & Bar ..was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and super friendly. The staff made us feel right at home and were attentive without being overbearing. The drinks were spot-on--delicious, well-balanced, and served with a smile. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing! Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food, a fun atmosphere, and top-notch service.

Tops Cafe - Bloody Marry - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Really good breakfast! I don't know why this place isn't packed on a Sunday at noon, it's that good. The lox Benedict was delicious, highly recommend. Good coffee too. read more

Tried Tops Cafe & Bar for the first time. We came a bit late so no one was there. The food tasted pretty good but not like "Wow!". Steak was a perfect medium rare and blended well with the chimi churri sauce. The potatoes were also very crispy! The waiter didn't know what sunny side up eggs were so he served us eggs over easy. Overall, I likely will come back when I am in town. read more

This is a really cool café! Easy to find, LOTS of parking, and great staff that want your RETURN business! The menu is HUGE!! gorgeously prepared with excellent flavors! we spent as much time enjoying our meal as we did looking at all of the dishes coming out of the kitchen! They do know how to plate a dish! This establishment has a liquor license and they have musical acts that perform (didn't have for brunch when I was there, but who knows for the future). My chicken fried steak was a real steak with delicious breading. The gravy was good as were the home fries. The eggs were fresh and prepared perfectly! The pancakes were very tasty! All was at a decent price! read more

Tops Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Quiet little place with surprisingly delicious items on the menu. It was a pleasant surprise to get free coffee with my breakfast.

These people can cook! We stopped in for breakfast early on a Sunday morning, & it wasn't too busy. The staff were nice. Most importantly though, everything was cooked PERFECTLY. Eggs over medium... perfect. Bacon... perfectly crispy. Potatoes were seasoned just right, crunchy on the outside and soft & almost creamy on the inside... seriously the BEST breakfast potatoes I've ever had! The berry French toast was delicious. Such a great find. We will be back!! read more

This was a case of don't believe everything on TikTok. Came on a Sunday morning around 10 and the place was pretty empty maybe that should've been a sign. But we're here so let's give the place a try. And maybe they don't get crowded until later. *shrug* Greeted when we walked in which was nice. The ambiance was very "diner -like" and not too modern. They did have plenty of seating -booths, tables and seating at the bar area. Now...let's get down to it. Coffee: 2/10 While you can add your own creamer and sugar, the coffee itself tasted a little "burnt". Note that I'm no coffee aficionado but that's what my tastebuds picked up. Wish they had raw sugar but not sure if that would have impacted the flavor much. We both ordered the griddle favorite which comes with two eggs your way, two meats (note ham is an up charge), Nutella French toast with bananas and cinnamon French toast. Griddle w/nutella and bananas: 5/10 I was automatically disappointed when my eggs came out and the cheese wasn't cooked in with them as requested. I asked for cheddar cheese but as you can see in the photo, that's not cheeses and the cheese is on top of the eggs. The sausage was overcooked and the bacon was ok. The French toast didn't have much flavor so I'm glad I went with Nutella and bananas because there was no flavor. Griddle w/cinnamon French toast: 5/10 Same situation with the eggs but also there was too much cheese. The person I was with, enjoyed French toast, but there was a misunderstanding on the meat order and by the time they received the second meat, they were almost done with their meal. The ham was okay, nothing to rave about. read more

This is a great breakfast restaurant, the food is good and so is the service. There are several other similar restaurants in the surrounding area that have long wait lines on the weekend but this one is consistently available. Why is beyond me, come here if you want a quality experience without the wait! read more

My wife and I went to have breakfast. The single on duty waitress did a fantastic job. However, you can only do so much and her employer has not made her a manager per se. The owner is new to restaurant s and his full time job is an accountant. So he knows little the food business it is cash flow cash flow cash flow. They have been in business (new ownership) 3 months. The food selection is still limited and does not reflect restaurant style servings (make lots of item from same basic ingredients). His cook is NOT short order as was evident in the time difference of arrival between our two different selections of food. He can't master doing two things at the same time The eating area is simple and clean no loud music and ample light. However, he knows nothing about lighting as he has track lights pointed at outside windows vs down at tables and booths Portions were large. Actually to large and wasteful. Better off with lowering his prices and cutting sizes. The potatoes were good but too much. Salad on a breakfast plate was wasteful and did not add to the plates presentation Menu not well organized misspellings. Breakfast side had appetizers not normally associated with breakfast and the opposite (lunch dinner side) had breakfast items Prices to high for breakfast and lunch. Really hopes he makes it but need help in how to run and own a restaurant read more

My son told me this is a new restaurant. He has gone here a couple times. He wanted me to try it out for breakfast while I was in town. Son had a Veggie Omelette, I had the Biscuits and Gravy. (both were good) the gravy was the stick to your ribs kind. Omelette was fluffy. Restaurant was clean, staff were friendly, food was good. The staff (Jennifer) was talking to some of the customers on a first name basis, meaning they were happy returning customers. Give them a try. read more

Good food and service. Reasonable prices too. I would recommend for breakfast because that's what I ate

The good news is, it's completely remodeled. The bad news is, it's still the worst service in the area. You would think, for all the money spent on remodeling, that they would try to improve their service. They didn't.. read more

Got the Texas Brunch and it was absolutely delicious! Quality chefs in the kitchen for sure!! Perfect steak

I've been patronizing Tops Café since their original opening. They haven't he changed ownership. The menu has been expanded to include lots of appetizers and an extended bar menu. I almost can't express how I feel about the restaurant now. I do not like at all the change in the aesthetics. The windows have been blacked in and there's an inside bar now that has a black schematic. It's really dark and strange next to what was I really open in Bright diner feel before. So there's a black bar and the original fresh feeling mint green/neutral palette. It's dark and weird. It's almost the lounge feel which is not consistent at all with the food experience. That's sad. The people are nice. And the food is absolutely still consistent. I can see myself turning into a carrier customer but I don't enjoy the dine in experience anymore. read more

Tops Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The decor is farm-house chic--very Joanna Gaines-ish & I love it. This is the perfect spot to grab a delish bite or enjoy a cup of coffee and slice of pie. The menu is loaded with all your favs‼ From chicken fried steak and eggs, burgers and salads to one of the best eggs Benedict for the price. I read one review that says this place is overpriced... to what? If you drive thru any of the famed burger or taco joints, you'll pay close to ten bucks for a meal that's loaded with CRAP sugar, sodium, unnecessary fat and let's not forget the preservatives needed to sustain that type of food in storage for mo/yrs at a time--GROSS‼ I'd prefer to spend my $10 at a local cafe where I can see the cooks preparing my food. For me and my boys this place hits all the marks -- great tasting food for a reasonable price. On TOP you'll receive exceptional service from any one of the staff, especially the owner... she's upbeat, positive and does it with a gorgeous smile Come support this local business --they're open 8-4PM daily. Don't miss the daily specials, cake and pie selections ‼ read more

After a second visit, For a diner, I give this five stars! Went back for lunch today and had the Ruben sandwich one of the best Rubens I've ever had! And Samantha is the sweetest waitress! Please give them your your business so that they can stay in business! Tops is in a strip shopping center next to Kroger. My friend and I decided to try it out for breakfast one day because it's so close to our house. the breakfast burrito was so large that we could share it and so tasty their fruit is not the typical fare of watery cantaloupe and watermelon, but grapes and other assisted berries! So yummy! read more

Good quality food, very friendly staff. Modest but inviting space. Breakfast sandwich was very good!

After reading many bad reviews, I decided to give this place a try. I was greeted upon entering and promptly seated. The breakfast menu is extensive. I ordered one of the skillet offerings. It was very tasty. The service was attentive and friendly. When I asked about the bad reviews, I learned the ownership changed recently. Apparently, the original owner didn't know the business and was largely absent. This is a convenient location. I hope they can turn around public opinion. read more

Tops Cafe - Meatloaf - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. While the food itself was quite good, the service was abysmal. We waited about 10 minutes just to get menus or any acknowledgment from the staff, who seemed to simply ignore us. I had to get up and request menus and drinks myself, which felt awkward and unnecessary. After another 5-10 minutes, we finally had our drink order taken, but the server seemed disinterested and unfriendly. It took another 20 minutes for a different server to check in about our food, and then we waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our meals to arrive. At that point, we had been in the restaurant for over an hour without receiving our food or drink refills, despite there only being two other tables occupied. The lack of training and evident disinterest from the staff made the experience incredibly frustrating. We were patient and respectful throughout, and we were prepared to spend a good amount and leave a decent tip. Unfortunately, due to the poor service, we won't be returning. At the end we also noticed another table also complaining about the service. Do not come here unless you want to wait an 1 for service or food... read more

So the staff was friendly but there definitely was a huge language barrier. The food was good and came out fairly quick. The staff was very nice but had a hard time understanding a couple of people in my party read more

From the moment my boyfriend and I walked in there was no greeting. We have come here plenty of times before and have always received great customer service and really good quality food. Today we came in for the first time in months and the food was bland, it took the servers awhile to take our order and when we did order they took nearly 30 minutes to bring it out. The atmosphere used to be welcoming and friendly but the staff were just on their phones. No one came and checked on our table until it was time to pay. They just brought us the bill and walked away. We will not be back unless some changes are made! read more

Amazing staff Amazing food Amazing amazing amazing Definitely the definition of hole in the wall spot for sure!! There are tons of meals to chose from and breakfast served all day!!

brunch there recently. had cappuchino with a chorizo omelet; ate every bit. good food, great service. i'd go back.

My son and I went here for breakfast. My son had the waffle combo with turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. He also had hot chocolate. He really enjoyed the meal; the bacon was fried perfectly crispy and the hash browns had the perfect crust on them without being over done. The scrambled eggs were done right too. The waffle was brown and the right level of slightly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and served with hot syrup and whipped butter. I had the blueberry pancake combo with ham and eggs over easy. They asked if I wanted the fresh blueberries in the pancakes or on top, which allowed me to ask for my blueberries in the waffle. The ham was a thick slice of ham and the eggs were perfectly over easy (egg white done, egg yolk nice and creamy). The only thing that wasn't excellent was the coffee. It was good, but not exceptional. I am a bit picky about coffee, as I grind my own Sumatran beans at home, so my review may not be on target for a diner. For diner coffee, it was fine. My review rating is for the food and the friendly service. This would be a great neighborhood restaurant to keep around. They s aid all their dinner specials are scratch made. Looking forward to returning for dinner. read more

What a hidden gem in Far North Dallas on the corner of Midway and Frankfurt! We were intending on going to another well-known eatery for Sunday brunch, but it was packed. Instead we ended up going to Tops Cafe and boy are we glad we did. First, there was plenty of packing and an abundance of seating. We were seated right away and provided menus - what a massive menu, not only for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner too! I believe it was the owner who then came by; since it was our first time, he provided plenty of recommendations. We finally decided on the traditional breakfast and their Savannah skillet. Both meals were cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were just right (not the gargantuan sizes that you see served elsewhere which is a waste). Great coffee too! Every bite was delicious and the prices were fair! We had great service and we'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to others! read more

Food is really good, the ambience is nice, new, clean & bright. The service is usually good but today was terrible today There was only one waitress working and there were 30 customers in the restaurant. We waited for 35 or 40 minutes and finally we're getting up to leave and she came over and took our order. It was still a long wait because there were so many dishes ahead of ours. I felt sorry for the waitress because she can't help that. she's the only one here and she was apologetic and embarrassed and a little overwhelmed which I understood. My advice is to staff the place the way it should be because business was walking out today and there were a lot of people here walking out agitated! read more
