Basically the lady at the order counter was more obsessed with opening wrapped change into the money drawer than bringing out the food to us. I didn't see heat lamp so one burger cooled off.....rather than bring a partial order out.
I spilled my drink and felt obligated to wipe it all up. I didn't mind doing it but when the same person, mentioned above, there was no offer of help.

My father and my brother and I went to Top’s Bar-b-q at 5144 Poplar Avenue and it was phenomenal!!! Great ribs (mine had their famous rub on them), great baked beans, potato salad and Mac & cheese, and great banana pudding!!! Great service and laid-back atmosphere!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
