I had the brisket and ribs, and my wife had a rib plate. It was very good. The only reason I can't give this place five stars is because we have Country Tavern near Tyler, which has the best barbecue (especially their ribs) that I have ever had. Every other barbecue restaurant I have ever eaten at is second rate, at best, compared to Country Tavern. But Top Notch is quite good. I would definitely eat there again if in the area.

Sadly, the recommendation proved to be a dud. I had high hopes. When I entered, I noticed the restaurant was cavernous, with far more seating than spaces to park. I was quickly seated. When I scanned the menu, I noticed there was precious little barbecue on it. I looked around the restaurant and saw generous portions on other dishes and was hoping for the same on mine. Not to be: I ordered the rib special with moist brisket. Apparently, the cook did not know what moist meant as mine proved dry and stringy. The ribs were scrawny as if from an emaciated pig. It definitely was not what one expects from Texas barbecue. The side of beans was just a thimbleful. The best part of the meal was the banana pudding for dessert. Service was fine and it seemed like mostly a local crowd. If I returned, I would order something other than barbecue like most other patrons did.

A true Texas breakfast experience!…read more I absolutely loved having breakfast here! This is the kind of place that feels like a true, authentic Texas breakfast -- simple, delicious, and made with care. The restaurant was very clean, the food was freshly prepared to order, and everything tasted homemade and delicious. The service was also excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell that they take pride in what they serve and in taking care of their customers. It's refreshing to find a place that keeps things simple while doing everything really well. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a genuine, delicious, and welcoming Texas breakfast experience!

The parking lot was completely full but I found one space to park in. As we got to the door, several groups of people came out and we were able to get a table in a few (like 3) minutes. Leslie J got us started with chips, salsa, & cold draft beer. We ordered the Chef Plate and the chicken mole. My wife said the mole was good and a little sweet (every Chef makes it a little different). My beef relleno, cheese enchilada, & guacamole we're excellent. The decor is pretty average Mexican restaurant decor: bright colors, flowers, paintings, etc. An escape. I'll be back next time I'm in town. And I found out there are 5 more locations.

However once you get inside it's anyone's guess as to what is available for both food and drink. Today on a Saturday morning a couple walked in and walked back out. I went in after them and asked the lady at the counter what happened. They wanted coffee and she didn't make any because she said she had only had one customer. No point in making a full pot. Interesting logic. The only food was what was in the glass case. Donuts, kolache (only one kind a giant pig in a blanket), and croissant sandwich with eggs, cheese and options for meat - as long as it's in the case. Not a flaky croissant because it's in plastic wrap. Good thing is that she heated up the sandwich and kolache. Not sure this place will be around long so if you like donuts it might be a good option for you. Not sure about the coffee. You take your chance on that.
