The bartenders where friendly and very understanding when we went in to tell them 2 days in a row. Looked like a clean, relaxed place to have a beer. Music wasn't blaring the nighst we went in which is a plus in my book. Would stop in for a drink when I have the time soon. They had drink specials posted for every day which is a good thing. I have heard many folks say they have some of the best bloody mary's around and are a special on Sundays. Thanks again Snookers!

This grilled cod was so perfectly cooked it should probably have its own fan club. Flaky, tender, seasoned just right not dry, not greasy, not pretending to be something it's not. Just confidently amazing. I took one bite and immediately questioned every other piece of grilled cod I've ever eaten in my life. Life-changing? Possibly. Life-altering? Emotionally, yes. It's the kind of meal that makes you stare at your plate for a second and think, "Where have you been all my life?" If you haven't tried the grilled cod at Symerton Tap on Fish Fry Friday, I'm not saying you're doing Fridays wrong... but I am strongly suggesting you fix that immediately. 10/10. Would let this fish ruin all other fish for me again.

We've been here before for their Friday Fish Fry (which is excellent), so we were looking forward to trying something different. I ordered the Mudbugs (crawfish) only, while my wife ordered the combo with Mudbugs and Meatloaf. The underlying motivation? She doesn't eat Mudbugs -- so I knew I'd be getting a bonus portion. The Mudbugs were cooked from live crawfish and seasoned with a classic Cajun blend. They varied in size but were served in generous one-pound portions. The flavor was fresh, well-seasoned, and exactly what you'd hope for in a good boil. Now, the real surprise was the Meatloaf. My wife loves Meatloaf but is extremely picky about it. I can honestly say she loved this one. After trying a bite myself, I agreed completely. It had a rich, beefy flavor, was moist throughout, and the ends had that perfect crunchy outer crust -- which is always the best part. We also ordered the Jalapeño Poppers. They had a nice crunchy exterior, and the pepper and cream cheese filling was creamy without being overcooked -- a solid appetizer choice. Top Fuel has that fun, laid-back dive bar atmosphere with lots of friendly people just enjoying themselves. It's comfortable, welcoming, and easy to settle in for a while. We'll definitely be back soon.

It's right along the river with a nice view and it's in the Heart of the City where you can see it all. This place is truly in the shape of a garage. This place was dog friendly too. Great selection of drinks and they even have non-alcoholic drinks as well. Prices on all the drinks were fair too. The bar features darts, a jukebox and a few other games. I will say the one drawback about this bar can be on this busy nights is the lines for the restroom. They are single star restrooms and the line for the men's restroom can back up we might just take a chances going to the women's restroom instead. Just because there is no line for the women's restroom on my visit but the line to get to the men's restroom was over a 10 minute wait.
