Food and service are always excellent. Today, Billy took care of me at the bar top. I had a "grand schlam." Also, if you're doing a drinking lunch, try a vodka with apple juice. :)

This place is one of a kind. We went for brunch on a Sunday and this place was packed. Staff got us seated under 10 mins followed by food wait time only 5mins. Everything came out fresh. Me and my wife got the brisket plate very savory & home style. Cheese blitz was phenomenal. Potato latkas were simple but delightful. This place also has a full bar and dessert. We will definitely be back to try the pie.

Starting off by saying you get what you pay for - portion sizes are huge and yummy. The avocado toast was spectacular and from now on I will only be topping my avo toast at home with hot honey. The ricotta absolutely made this!!! My sister is more of a simple girl as she has celiac but they accommodated her allergy and her dish was to her liking. She had been wanting to try this place for awhile and she will definitely be back. To finish, the doughssaints.... Oh my lord... melts in your mouth. So good. To die for. Will come back just for these!!

Jackie is a gem! Truly such a kind, attentive, hospitable human. I had brunch on a busy Sunday afternoon and didn't have the best attitude after a slight error with my order. Despite my poor attitude, Jackie was even more of a star. Truly killing it with kindness. She's a shining example of their "be nice" slogan. In addition to the warm and inviting service, Top Hat offers the best breakfast and brunch. My new go to order is no doubt their house made pastrami sandwich on rye! We also love their customizable grand schlam. Unbelievable value for quality and portion. Top Hat is a must try!

I absolutely love Top Hat Deli! I especially love their matzo ball soup and home made potato chips. I have also tried their huge amazing cookies which I cannot recommend enough. The staff is friendly and helpful as well. I can't wait to go back for this delicious comfort food!!

The mimosas are yummy, the food is great, but my favorite part is how they were able to create a modern deli. The built-in counter adds an old school diner feel, but the decor gives it an elevated touch. I walked over here after church on a Sunday & we were sat immediately. Their staff had on the dopest Halloween costumes, it was cool to see them invest so much time into the makeup/outfits. The kids dining in especially loved it. Our waitress was friendly, well informed & attentive. She quickly answered questions about the menu & provided great suggestions. For my drink, I had a passion fruit mimosa, a Halloween special I believe. I tried their popular deviled eggs & they didn't disappoint! It's an incredible union of flavors & the serving of 3 was perfect for 1 person. The relish they use is great quality & the everything bagel seasoning is a nice touch. For my entree, I ordered the Grand Schlam with scrambled eggs, bacon which is a generous portion, a latke & sourdough bread. Next time I'll add cheese to my eggs but they were perfectly fluffy & I'm picky with my eggs. The latke is flavorful but not overpowering & pairs really well with ketchup. The butter & jam served with toast are also fantastic. I appreciate them using good quality ingredients, you can taste it right away. My boyfriend was able to order a custom breakfast sandwich since he doesn't eat meat which was nice. The front has various deli items for sale which makes for a convenient pickup.

The entry way is a little chaotic with people waiting to be seated, ordering takeout, looking at the baked goods, etc. We put in a large group order-- we did not know where to stand and wait for our order. Most of us ordered sandwiches, which are a little overpriced for something so basic. I got the turkey club, but they did put a lot of turkey in there. They also don't package cups of soups to go, so I will likely dine in next time. Our favorites were the huge cookies-- like literally a few pounds heavy each. You can definitely split one cooking with a group of 4-5 people and still have more!

What to say besides delicious. This spot has been around for quite some time, and they are just so good. The quality of food, the service is fantastic and it's a welcoming environment. While I do feel some of the items are overpriced, I do enjoy going. I've always had lunch because I'm a sucker for matzo ball soup, but I went for breakfast this time and am so glad I tried the French toast. It was on challah bread, topped with berries and granola, and finished with powdered sugar. That will run you $14 by itself, and of course, I had to add a side of bacon, which was $5. One thing I am bummed about is they don't have decaf espresso, but they did have bottomless decaf coffee, which I believe was Argyle coffee. It was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. They were more than accommodating on a busy Saturday morning. No wait, good service, and good food!
