The Red Top Pit Stop is a charming little restaurant that offers delicious and satisfying meals. The friendly staff provide great service and recommendations. Customers particularly enjoy the flavorful brisket grilled cheese and the well-balanced chili. While the atmosphere is casual, the quality and quantity of the food make it a hidden gem worth visiting. The restaurant is known for its amazing customer service and delectable BBQ, breakfast, and desserts. The parking lot may be empty at times, but the quaint off-the-road BBQ joint is always bustling with satisfied customers. The waitress is friendly and ensures orders are accurate, with the food arriving hot from the kitchen. The brisket, whether in a grilled cheese or sandwich, is praised for its exceptional taste, even without any sauce. The sides, such as coleslaw and fries, are also well-received. The prices are reasonable, with most meals ranging from $11 to $17. The Red Top Pit Stop is a local favorite, especially among those visiting for the Tigers' spring training. While the menu may not always be ready for BBQ, the restaurant is consistently praised for serving the best in the area when it is available. The TRUMP THE BOSS BURGER is not named after anyone political; it is in memory of the original owner, Arika. The brisket is amazing, and the burgers are worth paying more for. The chili is the best ever. Brisket and eggs with hash browns and pancakes is the best breakfast ever. Judge this place for the food, not its appearance. The food is delicious. It is a favorite place to eat.
