Great place to grab breakfast. Arrive before 9:30am because the place folks up quick. The women's bathroom has tiny stalls and there are only 2 of them. You're given large portions by attentive servers and only 1 payment for coffee yields free refills.

Best pancakes I’ve ever had in my god damn life and I don’t usually like pancakes. I had to write a review bc they’re just that good omg. And I got the veggie skillet and coffee and both are BANGING. 10/10 please give my compliments to the chef. Give them a lil kiss for me bc this was sooo good even the coffee was delicious

Stop in for a bite to eat me and my family we understand that it was busy. I’ve come here for years and never had a server that act like they didn’t want to do there job. We set at the table after our number was called about 20min. Then we had to ask another server to locate our server that should’ve been at our table asking us what we won’t. When she came to the table she act like she didn’t want to take our order. We were never asked if we wanted anything to drink. Like I said I’ve come here for years and I have never had this problem everyone have always been so nice and Pleasant.

I tried one of these a few years ago and I'm happy to say that this one is just as good as any other love their their omelets and pankings. They definitely have plenty of parking gets busy usually on Sunday mornings to suck any other place. Price is really reasonable compared to a lot of these other places

Order wasn’t prepared correctly. Ordered ham and eggs. Hashbrowns is not included in the meal like everywhere else and cost $5.50 to order it on the side. Ask for over medium eggs but it was scrambled instead. Also, order has diced potatoes instead hashbrowns. Paid for it $23 which is well overpriced. Not recommended.

On my last visit my server was extremely busy so service was a bit slow but she provided service with a pleasant, professional attitude.

I absolutely love this place! One of the most enjoyable things I’ve experienced over the years is their consistency across the board. My wife and I have been visiting for over 15 years, and they never disappoint.

These last few weeks, we tried another local restaurant because I had a taste for chicken and waffles and we hadn’t visited TOPH in a while, but my wife was not satisfied. She is very particular about her pancakes, and the only place that gets them right is TOPH.

We decided to go back for breakfast yesterday, and as usual our TOPH family was fully intact; except for one key person. For as long as we can remember, there has always been a mature African American gentleman who faithfully approaches our table with clean utensils, sets everything up with a warm smile, and says, “Enjoy.” When someone else set our table this time, I immediately told my wife I didn’t see “my guy.” She suggested he might be off, but I replied that I had never seen him off on a busy Sunday morning.

So, stepping outside of my normal routine, I asked our server where he was. Her perplexed look made me instantly nervous that something unfortunate had happened. Thankfully, she said it was nothing of that severity. However, after she shared the limited details she could, I was disappointed that more wasn’t done to understand his circumstances before he was released from his position.

That said, I still appreciate every experience we’ve had at TOPH over the years and remain grateful for the service we consistently receive. I am hopeful that Mr. Shay lands on his feet and finds a place where his kindness and work ethic are just as appreciated as we’ve appreciated him.
