From their reviews
“Very nice to hang out and get some good food. I will be back. The manager was very nice and helpful with everything I needed.”
“Top Hat has always been one of my fav spots! I've been patronizing this establishment since I was old enough to shoot some pool. I've had some fun date nights here. The staff does well with running this place.”
“Was surprised how many nachos they gave me because i wanted to eat something else other than nachos. But they were delicious hope to visit this restaurant again. Is kept very clean and organized Courtney was an awesome bartender!! I should have asked how many nachos I would’ve gotten.”
