a lady was screaming on staff when i walked in, she said she's been coming there for years, but this was unexceptable. she said the food was cold and stale... and she was right. the bbq was old and cold, coleslaw was meh and baked beans slimey. seems like memphis is losing it's reputation for great bbq, especially since the 2 best tops (lamar, quince) burned out

We walked in to the smell of BBQ. That was a good sign. We were greeted immediately and asked for our order. The brisket sandwich was ok. The ribs were full of fat. The beans tasted straight from a can with BBQ sauce added. The macaroni was not good. The Cole slaw was sub par. I will not return.

Was so impressed by the young man at the front of the restaurant. At 2 pm the drive thru line was around the building so I went inside. Robert was taking orders, taking payment, waiting tables and was handling every aspect of the eat in side of Topps. Need more sauce at this table? Still waiting on your fries ? Want to place an order? Robert was doing it all with a smile and he was moving fast to help customers get what they wanted. He is a jewel and the I hope the management realizes what they have. It is a busy location and the lines of customers were around the building outside and to the doorway inside at 2 pm. But only a blind man couldn't see that Robert was giving his all with a smile. Thanks Robert. You are an impressive young man!

Food and service were both fantastic! My wife even made a comment on how clean the restroom was. Great place, though parking can be somewhat tight.

Now it was Saturday night a bit later, and there were only a few people there. We went into the restaurant and dined in. The waitress was quite inattentive and preoccupied with other things, including her cell phone. The place seemed a bit unclean and untidy all the way around. The restrooms were terrible and not stocked. The food was OK but nothing really special. We probably won’t be going back.

I bought a 6 pack and added beans from the drive-thru for a church gathering. When I got to church, there were no beans.
