It was our first time here, we love trying diners, so far 22.of them. This diner has a very cool modern look, we went a week day and was packed, even a lot of people ahead us but it didn't take too long to be seated. They have booths and tables. I have to say that the tables r tiny for 2 people and for the amount of things on top of it besides the food ordered. There was a moment when l felt kind of stressed trying to deal with all the dishes on the table plus the extra 4 glasses, bottle of olive oil, ketchup, salt and pepper shakers and jar with water. We ordered appetizers plus a main course but not aware that the portions were big so we ended up leaving a lot of food on the table, which l hate. We ordered Mac and cheese, was really good, spinach dip, not the best, lil bland, fried green tomatoes were good with a lil salad on the side that was delicious and a side of sweet potato fries that they were a lil burnt to my taste. Main courses : fried jumbo shrimps and blackened grilled catfish. The catfish would have been better without that sweet sticky glaze on top. As l said, the place is cool ,clean and well cared but so loud that was kind of difficult to have a conversation across the table. I agree with other feedbacks, it is overpriced.

Since renovations this place has been definitely upgraded to luxury. The food is as always exceptional ! And the service and drinks are just as great. My server, Virginia was so sweet and very attentive to everything I needed during my dining. I’ll definitely be coming back. The portions are huge and everything is so worth it !

Honestly, if I could say where restaurants fail it has to be not having good food and a good vibe. Tops has both. Honestly the server was lovely and patient. Mine was cindy and she was amazing. She helped me make sure there were no onions in my food and i was very happy. She definitely deserved a raise just for being fun and someone that was nice to talk to! They had a live DJ and the music was good. If your looking for quite dining with little wait time dont come here. The vibe it amazing! Honestly it is loud but I can say in this case it was Honestly beautiful. They have a community here. Different people all in one place talking and laughing and I think tops has successfully made what I can say is a 5 star restaurant. I got the chiken pesto pasta with a iced tea. I cant say much for the tea but the pesto pasta was amazing. I would say it was kinda hard to find the entrance but still. Please make a reservation beforehand though because this place will be PACKED and the wait is long if you dont have a reservation! again. Amazing food, Amazing vibe, and amazing staff. If this place ever closes there legacy will be remembered as a place where everyone could come and be apart of the community of any background.

NJ is Diner paradise and Topps is definitely at the top. Service is always outstanding here. Attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Food is always solid to great, and the portions are huge. Best to come with a group so you can try a little bit of everything. Prices are closer to what you would pay at a restaurant than a local diner, but I would say tops food is equivalent to a nice restaurant so it’s a great deal.

Consistently ranked as one of the best diners in New Jersey and the country and deservedly so. The menu is extensive as one would expect, the food comes quickly, the coffee and water glasses are refilled often and the portions are large. The prices aren’t cheap but comparable to other Jersey diners. The dining room is large, clean and filled with energy. The space is retro chic but definitely modern due to the renovation so it’s fitting but definitely feels disneyfied because the ceilings are too tall the air circulation too good and the menus, booths and cutlery and utensils too new. Otherwise the food was good to great and well worth a visit. The fried chicken needed more seasoning. The sides needed more gravy or sauce but the chicken parm was great as were the triple decker sandwiches. We didn’t get the disco fries but they looked immense and tasty (seemed like every other table had them)!
