I had a great time at this biker bar twice now. Both times I felt welcome and had a great experience. They have several beers on tap and a large variety of food. My Philly cheesesteak was delicious! I was eyeing the chicken Tenders too! The locals ended up buying us shots while I played music on the touch tunes juke box! It was a great time! We ended up buying a round for the whole bar! It was so much fun. I'm sure we'll come back next time we're in town. Cheers! read more

Went for lunch today (1/17/24). Walked in and was met by friendly staff. Sat at the bar which is stocked with a nice selection of Bourbon & beer. Food was amazing & had nice portion size! Price is amazing! Love the style of the bar & the layout. Will continue to come here! read more

This is the most amazing bar/restaurant! It is a biker bar but so community oriented, so much more than other restaurants in this area. They sponsor a food pantry on Fridays, give food to the veterans on the regular, host Boy Scout and local groups for fund raisers and the staff is all in. It's not just the owner who is community focused, every person I have come into contact with is friendly and giving. Thank you Top Fuel for being open and clean and welcoming! I have eaten here and the food is good, the service is phenomenal. It's casual and they also rent out the hall for festivities and host a trunk or treat for kids at Halloween. Definitely frequent this place, you will be pleased. read more

Bartender was rude and demands a tip, please do not tip this lady! She must feel very entitled smh

We used to love taking the bikes here with our group of friends, however, after yesterday we won't be coming back. The bartender, I was told was the owner's significant other, was incredibly rude. Absolute worst personality for someone in the hospitality industry. Very disappointed because we typically do enjoy riding and eating there. She needs a serious attitude check and maybe a proper lesson on how to not be so rude to people that go out of their way to be kind even in those situations. Best of luck, get a new bartender!!!! read more

I loved the Bloody Mary bar and we had great service!! We will definitely go back soon!

I was told that the Top Fuel Saloon was just a biker bar, and I should avoid it... but I don't like to be told what to do, or not do... So I tried it out. Glad I did ! Biker Bar, Dive Bar, Whiskey Bar.... whatever you wish to call it, you owe it to yourself to visit this place ! I've been in for drinks and/or food many times... Freak (the owner) and his staff have always been nice and attentive to their customers. And yes, there are bikers there often, but this place is far more then what images come to mind when someone says "biker bar"... Bikers are generally good people ! I've seen all types and ages of people in there... (I've even seen a few pets drop by to say "hi"). Top Fuel Saloon is a great place to hang out with family or friends.... or even strangers. Food is excellent, I have not had anything yet that I did not injoy. Food and drink prices are about right. Freak is a very kind hearted man, he loves to give back to the community in many ways... heck, he even has a Food Pantry at the Top Fuel Saloon that is opened to anyone who needs it. So, if for no other reason, stop in to the Top Fuel Saloon for some good food, drinks, and good company... to support the man (Freak) who helps support the community!! Thanks to Freak and all his staff, as long as I live in the area, I'll be one of your customers ! read more

Eh. Food was good. Service not so much. Prices were high but portions were large. Wouldn't probably go back.

Very cool vibe and friendly atmoshere here! Great time at the rock shows that have played so far. Owner "Freak" WRXQ radio personality mingling with the crowd! Great location. Purple Heart Veteran parking space! Plenty of parking for motorcycles right up front! read more

Waitress was awful she was disrespectful super quick like she had tons of tables to deal with there was barely anyone there.. she was the overweight girl with long dark hair and the bartender had an attitude as well get rid of the entire staff and start over... read more

This place is amazing the food is so good. Fun place to go by yourself or with a group. The staff is great and when the owner comes down he makes the bar 10 times better everyone is so friendly. One of my favorite spots read more

This is a DIVE bar... you have to understand that first. Don't expect something fancy. With that being said the Food is fantastic, the beer selection is very good and the place was clean. The menu is fairly eclectic, including alligator and shark but still has burgers and fries. They do have a restaurant side with tables and chairs but we were there for lunch and ate at the bar. Service was quick and friendly. And they do take Credit cards. I will return! read more

Great quality and variety of food. We always have a good time when we come to top fuel. The owner is constantly involved in helping others through food drives and other charity events. Everyone is welcome here! read more

Food is always consistently great! My boyfriend is addicted to their nitro chicken sandwich and I love the hangover burger! Best pizza in the area also. read more

Good food, would definitely order food again. They're very welcoming, make you feel like a friend !

So our band played here. Amazing stage lights n sound. Staff was friendly and fun to be around. Food was good from what the guys told me, I didn't eat there myself. ( under the weather) I'll give you 5 stars alone for hosting original Metal Music. Please for the love of god put doors on the men's bathroom stalls.... that's terrible read more

Great bar! Bartender is nice. We have seen a couple of bands there and the space and sound are great

I was going to give 2.5 stars but obviously couldn't. I went here on Columbus Day 2016 with my two 12 year old boys. After we arrived I sat in the parking lot for a few minutes wondering if they would be allowed inside as it is a "Saloon" and served alcohol. I couldn't find anything on their site nor within any of the reviews I could find on short notice. Well went for it and were greeted by the bar tender as she was in the front of the restaurant having a smoke break. The place has very few tables and a bar with maybe 12 or so seats/stools. No way to identify this as a speed related "Saloon" as their was no associated decor. We seated ourselves and were brought menus by the bar tender we saw outside. The menu was just one piece of paper printed on both sides or maybe two pieces of paper inside a binder sleeve. The food was above typical bar fare with burgers, beef, sausage, combos, wings and other similar bites. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I asked for an iced tea and to my surprise she said they don't have iced tea. What kind of restaurant does not have iced tea??? My boys had Coke and diet Coke. To be honest I was ready to get up and leave at that point but we stayed. We ordered the Top Fuel Fries, two single cheese burgers and a double cheeseburger. The Top Fuel Fries were actually really good. The fries were hot, the bacon I believe was fresh and not from a shaker and the cheese was fresh and hot as well. The jalapenos added just the right punch without going over the edge. The burgers were done to a standard as we were not asked how we wanted them done. We all prefer our burgers medium and these came a very medium to almost medium well. Very little pink at all. They were good though and were fresh hand made patties and not frozen. We also ordered the fries and they were on the line of Gene & Jude's. Service was pretty good overall. The bathroom stalls do NOT HAVE DOORS ON THEM. WTF is that? I understand this is a "Saloon" but really??? I know that later in the evenings or when concerts are going on fights and breakages occur but really??? Also, what's up with the transmission in the bathroom??? Well our time was up and our bellies were full so the bar tender brought us our bill and I pulled out my debit card and she tells me they don't accept credit or debit cards. Once again WTF?!?!?! They just so happen to have an ATM in the "Saloon" that charged me $3 for my money. Well the bar tender lost on that deal as our bill was $37 and change and I got just $40 out of the machine so if you're wondering why your tip was squat, call the ATM owner and get my $3 surcharge and keep that as a tip. So overall the experience was not all that good and we will not be back until they square themselves away. Maybe a call to John Taffer??? read more

Hands Down, the best local food around!! Have been here 3 times in the past few weeks, and would like to eat here every day of the week! Awesome burger that the know how to cook medium-rare! Gator Taco's were delicious as well as the cole slaw! Wennie Wednesday Chicago Style hotdog with old school fresh cut fries get 3 thumbs up. Friends have been bragging about the Fish Fry too. Worth driving any extra distance to get to!! I also hear their Pizza is way good too. Next on my list!! read more

This is an awsome place for alligator. Better than any place we ate in New Orleans! Went here with a group of people and had a great time with Freak! read more

Bumped into a friend while riding. He said he was on the way to this Saloon. He said you are going to love it. So...we followed him. We had the best time!! All employees were great not to mention Freak talks to everyone, works the bar, delivers food, just does it all. Great band was playing! We had burgers and onions rings which were awesome! Thank you for such a great time. Sure to come back again and again :) Not to mention passed this on to all our friends. read more
