Sitting here doing this review when I should've just called management, but that's my fault. Anyway, Cherry Top usually has pretty good food. I don't know if it's because it's the end of the year, it's up for sale, or lazy employees, but our food was not good and some of it not edible. I got the pizza burger and onion rings and my partner got the catfish dinner. The catfish was very muddy tasting and overall not good at all. In fact, he couldn't even eat most of it. My pizza burger was good, but the O rings were awful. They smashed them in the bag, which the breading wasn't staying on the O rings anyway, but combined they were basically to bad to eat. I ate 2 of them and decided it wasn't worth how soggy and smashed they were. The service was okay. She wasn't overly friendly, didn't smile or make small talk. I felt rushed. I asked for an explanation on some of their dessert options and she was able to tell me. She got the order correct, except forgetting one thing (I ordered an extra dinner roll). It was a disappointing experience for a $40 meal.
*Edit - In response to the owner's reply to my review - The shrimp basket I've never had and it was simply an error (accidentally hit). I never stated the employees were lazy. I was simply guessing as to why the food wasn't good. Again, I wish I would've called management, but I didn't - I shared that openly. I would think as a manager if you are put off by a review then you would actually try to reach out to the person doing it. Instead it was a critique of my criticism of MY experience at your establishment. I do not know why it tasted muddy to my partner, but I can assure you, I tested it myself and while I can't say it tasted muddy to me, it was awful and not edible! This is a missed opportunity to talk to me directly or to offer to correct my experience and I would've considered taking the review down. Oh well, I guess. I'll take this into consideration the next time I want to blow $40 on dinner.

I want to tell you it was the best local food I had in a long time. I can't. It was closed. Oops. I do eat there in the warmer months though and it is a must stop.

Still the best onion rings Ever! Pair it with a pizza burger and chocolate shake and I am in heaven!
I don't usually leave a bad review because I have work in retail and I know how hard it is with customers. But this time it got me good. I placed an order for 5 people but only got the order for 4, and when I asked the person that helped me. She was , you never order for yourself. Also, we were missing the onions rings and order of fries.
