Reviews for The Top in Gainesville, FL
Had a table of 10+ and was able to get a spot. Did not really have to wait too long for the drinks and food to get out. The... sweet potato fries were alright but not great. The sandwich was to die for and will definitely be back here again and again. Theservers were super friendly and clean restaurant Read more
For just looking like a bar this place has extremely good food. The wait staff were on their game and a nice mix of casual and... professional. Next trip to Gainesville is definitely going to include another dinner here Read more
I just discovered that the mushroom ravioli is now a special, not an every-day Pasta menu item, so I highly recommend it to you... if it is available when you go to eat here. It?s fire. Had a really good meal on a Sunday afternoon with local beers and shade.It?s really nice that the outdoor area is dog friendly and they provide bowls of water to keep cool. Read more
Love that this place has vegan options! The Buffalo tempeh sandwich is by far the best choice! Hubby tried the vegan Philly and... was disappointed, the texture is way off compared to others we?ve tried and it?s super oily. They did the right thing andremoved it from the bill. My mom is not a vegan and really enjoyed their Buffalo chicken sandwich. The atmosphere outside isjust what we were looking for ???? it was a gorgeous evening for it! Be prepared to wait it is a busy place! Staff is supersweet! ?? Oh and they allow pups ???? Read more
Fantastic Scratch Kitchen! The Sausage and Penne and the Smoked Meatloaf special were very good. Service was perfect. Love the... Vibe on the new outdoor patio. Read more
We went to The Top around 6:30pm on a Sunday during March Madness. I only mention this because it is not a big sports bar and... half of the people could have cared less. We sat at the bar which is all the way to the left as you walk into theestablishment. From there you have a good view of the place. There was conversation level music in the background and mostpeople at the bar and at the tables were not occupied by their phones which seemed to create a nice social buzz in theatmosphere. There were couples of varying ages from thirty-five or so and up. I wanted to show my friend from overseas a good,clean place with nice atmosphere on St Patty?s Day weekend and this was the place that he thought was the best. If there was adisappointment, it was less on The Top and more on what restaurants in the area are charging and that prices are not what theyused to be. Their $12 classic burger (chicken not beef, w/o Tomato, onion & pickle) seemed over-prices and a little small.Again, maybe not their fault but start getting used to what appears to be the new standard. That said, it was tasted good andcame out in a timely manner based on the crowd. It you are looking for a place to relax on a Sunday evening with some friendsand a little bit of responsible adult atmosphere, you should put this on the list. Parking might get a little tricky if youdon?t get lucky, but you can find a place not too far in a couple of minutes. Read more
Fun interior! Cool food menu! STRONG drinks! I loved the ambiance of the place and the staff member was super helpful with menu... recs since it was my first time here. The burger was cooked perfectly. Downtown parking is usually street parking, best to parkand walk to the location. Read more
Love this place! Terrific outside bar area. Inside really nice decor. The food was great! Our party of five each got something... different. But all enjoyed! And the prices! Amazingly reasonable! Definitely would appeal to a family as well as to a collegestudent! We will definitely revisit this restaurant the next time we're in Gainesville! Highly recommended! Read more
