With ample parking, you shouldn't have a problem visiting this eatery. We went during World Cup and didn't realize the Argentina team was staying at a hotel the next block over so the streets were busy with media and fans and security. Wednesdays they have half off bottles of wine (just saying)...I ordered a stop the suffering drink made with tequila, vanilla syrup and lime: refreshing! For appetizers we got the green fries which are green beans that have been fried in tempura batter and the mortadella & burrata which was outstanding! Grilled mortadella with ciabatta bread, and basil chimichurri? Yes please!! For the main course I got the bacon wrapped meatloaf which came with thin green beans and a mashed potato that was delicious and smothered and creamy. Dessert was a salted caramel cheesecake that was ok. But I'm only saying ok because the other stuff was delicious! We will come back and try their sandwiches and salads!! read more

Since Foxy Brown closed, I was excited to see Top Hat expand into dinner service, clearly taking some inspiration from what made Foxy Brown so special. As one of my favorite breakfast spots, Top Hat has successfully carried that same creativity and quality into its evening menu. The espresso martini and Old Fashioned were outstanding. I loved the romesco sauce with my chicken, and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his pulled chicken dip sandwich. The real standout, though, was the maple bacon chili-glazed wings--they were absolutely incredible and the highlight of the meal. I almost forgot to mention the sandwich--it looked so good I had to snap a picture before it disappeared! It was packed with flavor and definitely a menu item worth ordering. The service from Johnny was exceptional and made the experience even better. If you're a foodie looking for a great new dinner spot, this is definitely a place worth checking out! read more

Top Hat was on my to do list for years and i finally got to check them off. I had a lunch meeting and it was suggested we do it there so I jumped at the idea. I got the avocado toast amd an ice coffee. I switched the smoked salmon to prosciutto and had the eggs scrambled. Staff was quick, responsive, amd friendly. And the food was filling, fresh, amd tasty. read more

Ok- can I say I LOVE this place? The sandwiches are always packed with meat and good for a couple of meals, the salads are crisp and fresh, and the service is provided by people who clearly love what they are doing. On my most recent visit, Tais was our server and she was great. She had a big party of city workers at the table next to us but she didn't miss a beat. The decor is upscale deli so sit at a table or grab a seat at the counter if it's really busy. I had a giant tuna sandwich, and some clam chowder and my friend had the Mockingbird salad with shrimp. And if that wasn't enough food we shared a Brookie for dessert which is half brownie nad half cookie! Be still my dessert loving taste buds! What I always forget is that they have a bar so if you want your favorite drink you can add that to your meal as well. One of my favs in Fort Lauderdale! read more

I joined two friends at Top Hat for a Friday lunch. We love Foxy Brown so we thought we'd try another Be Nice restaurant. Currently, parking is messy at Top Hat. Two construction projects exist on each side of the restaurant. Our server was Tais and she was perfectly attentive and helpful. She is an asset to the restaurant. Surprisingly we each ordered the pastrami cheeseburger. The combination of tasty deli meat ground up with beef sounded good to me. Unfortunately we all found the burgers to be very dry. Even the wet coleslaw topping wasn't enough to moisten the dish. Tais rescued the day by bringing strips of delicious pastrami for us to add to the burger. It helped a little. We don't recommend ordering this burger. The sides were very good and generous. My potato salad had slices of fingerling potatoes with a nice sauce. The homemade chips were very crunchy. The sliced pickles were delicious like they should be at a deli. The place is very loud if you are noise sensitive. The wooden chairs screech on the floor when moved. This adds to the loudness. As we closed out, Tais offered to refill our drinks with to go cups. That was a nice gesture! read more

Absolutely Amazing! You can tell the manager of this place really cares about both the food quality, and the customer service. We were assigned a server at our table, but had our drinks refilled by numerous employees in the restaurant. The food came out of the kitchen fast and everything I've had has been amazing! The tuna salad sandwich and The Rachel. Both meals were massive and tasted fantastic. read more

TOP HAT DELI #1... Today I was super enthusiastic to try the reuben and their famous matzo ball soup for the first time. Located in east Fort Laud, so on my drive there, I endured a pain in my gut concerned about parking as most places in the immediate area. A sigh of relief upon arriving at the deli entering a massive FREE gravel parking lot with a clearly posted sign indicating "Top Hat Deli Guests Only". So far I'm very pleased. Noticed the deep dining area of the eatery with a display of oversized cakes and enormous cookies with one taking on the bizarre moniker "Chunky Monkey" which delightfully contained chocolate chips and cream cheese. Ordered two quarts of matzo ball soup with a warm reuben sandwich that came with two mini golden crusted potato latkas and a kosher pickle slice. The bathroom was spotless and adored the comical multi gendered, alien and "whatever" placard affixed to the door. The deli decor continued into the bathroom with a big picure of a shocked pickle ogling a huge deli sandwich. The soap gel dispensors were also well appreciated. Transported the food to my families house and enjoyed a wonderful feast split with the wife. My mother-in-law raved about the matzo ball soup, but I added salt. I will order two sandwiches next visit. FYI, careful with the sharp edges of the bread when taking a bite. Too Jay's is out and Top Hat Deli is now in! read more

Found this deli in Fort Lauderdale near Las Olas. The matzo ball soup is excellent with large plump balls and not skimpy on the noodles. The cole slaw on the Reuben was wonderful and the sandwich filled me up. The prices are steep but well worth it. Lots of free parking next to the business and pleasant employees. Loved this deli. read more

A real Jewish style deli in Fort Lauderdale that's got everything! We went for lunch and were seated right away. Nice free parking lot and it's spotless too!! Quick service. Enjoyed a pastrami with Cole slaw and my partner enjoyed a roast beef sandwich. The pickles and rye bread were delicious. Everything around us looked soooooo good. We need to go back. read more

I truly don't know how I never wrote a review for Top Hat until now. This is my favorite diner in FTL by far and I take everyone who visits! It can get busy on weekends but I have only waited maybe 15-20 min max for a table and the service is always quick once seated. All the waiters/waitresses are super friendly too and you can't go wrong with anything you order on the menu. Everything is tasty, though my personal fave is the pizza bagel. The restaurant is also spacious and can accommodate bigger groups. read more

Top Hat was an incredible find in the Fort Lauderdale area and if I hadn't gotten there at opening, it would have been difficult to get a table at this hopping breakfast spot. Absolutely the best avocado toast I have ever had, with creamy ricotta paired with hot honey and a delicious soft boiled egg. In addition to the full menu, the bakery case at the entrance has enticing cookies, brownies and treats. The parking lot is under construction so be prepared to grab a spot on the street. read more

Had this delivered via DoorDash at 1:30pm. Ordered chicken soup and deviled eggs. Noodles were gummy and undercooked. I should have not eaten the soup because it arrived lukewarm-cold. Within 40 minutes I was sick to my stomach. System evacuation. It was all I had eaten since 7pm night before. Not sure what this place has going on in their kitchen but i will not dine here again. read more

Heard a lot of hype surrounding Top Hat for breakfast so I decided to stop by to check it out. The restaurant isn't that big and has parking lots on both sides, although one of the lots seemed like a temporary one in a fenced in area. When I walked in, there was a wait, and I was in a rush so I decided to grab a couple cookies instead. They have a baked goods counter next to the doorway. The cookies were fresh baked, soft and delicious. I think I went with a brookie and a chocolate chip. I can recommend both of those. Will try again for breakfast another day. read more

It had been a while since I've been to Top Hat deli. I used to frequent there when I worked closer. Decided to check it out today for a late lunch. So happy we did! Our waitress Gina was incredible!!!she really too the time to educate us on the menu and made some awesome recommendations. She even gave us a sample of the tastiest chili. She was super enthused to share her favorites. I loved how excited she was for us to have our meals. I had the classic pastrami sandwich on a brioche bun with a side of refreshing cucumber salad. My partner decided to have one of the specials, which was an enormous chili omelette. The omelette was stuffed with chili and cheese over hash brown style potatoes and then topped with more delicious chili. I had a cappuccino and Bill had the salted caramel latte. We loved the chili so much we took some to go. Gina has some awesome tips on how to serve our chili at home. When we walked in the staff was celebrating a young boys birthday with a nice song and piece of dessert nd a balloon. The place was pretty busy nd the staff was friendly and happy to be working there. The restaurant looked fresh nd clean with good lighting and cool light fixtures. We already can't wait to go back!! I believe this might be part of our Sunday routine. Hopefully we will have Gina as our waitress again. read more

I took my Mom down to Fort Lauderdale as my sister treated her for facials today. Afterwards, we were all hungry and looking to grab something for brunch and close by down town, we went to Top Hot Deli! Going inside, it was quite the shpatzir as older gentlemen and people were eating jewish and breakfast delights! As for brunch, we ordered 1x corn beef hash, 1x nova salmon platter, 1x side of pickles, and 1x assorted rugelach to go. Moving on with my review, the food was pretty good. I'll start off that the corn beef hash was excellent! I've had corn beef hash many places that have a can tin taste and stringy hashbrowns. However, this one had nice diced chunks of tender corn beef and additional corn beef strips on the side! Also, the eggs were nicely creamy inside. The nova platter possessed fresh cured salmon and fresh vegs; although, the bagels texture was lacking as it was missing that chew and pretty airy. The pickles were simply kosher dill flavor, but were brined well and had a great snap with each bite! The rugelach all possessed nice flavors, but they could've been crisper and were a little dry inside. Moreover, our server was super friendly and attentive which is always great! Overall, with a few tweaks, Top Hat Deli has the potential to be a star or two higher from today's visit. We still had a nice breakfast together, but would give this a rating of 3.5/5 stars. read more

Great place, always crowded because it's that good. Outstanding service, friendly, explains everything on the menu. It's deli but a great deli. Everything is fresh. They roast their on turkey, very large portions enough to bring home. If you in the area it's a must stop. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

I love a good tuna bagel. This tuna didn't have too much mayo, was very clean didn't taste fishy, was pleasantly surprised. The bagel it was on was okay, wish it had a little bit more everything seasoning on it but other than that it was great. The pickles were awesome I loved the flavor of it, very light and tasted like no other pickle I've ever had. Fiancé got the classic and added coleslaw to it and he loved it. It was clean on the inside, pretty busy around 1pm had a classic diner feel to it. Service was good. Felt like everyone working really loved working there. Would come here again! read more

I haven't even left yet and I couldn't wait to write this review of how amazing the service is at this establishment. Our server was amazing along with the owner working together to ensure we have the best experience. He was active walking around clearing plates and checking if we were okay along with our amazing server. I don't have her name yet but she has some purple in her hair and I just love her!

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! read more

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. read 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! read more
