tip top kitchen and cocktails

we had such a terrible meal. here, but i stilltipmy hat totiptop, because our mutual suffering turned into one of the most entertaining meals i've ever had. because the drinks were stiff, hilarity ensued. when we discovered the salmon was so old and un-fresh that it had started to taste like just-off hamburger, we could only laugh. so many service glitches and ignorings preceded this, it quickly turned comic as we motioned feebly to blind, deaf and lazy wait-people. my monte cristo was so deformed by its sogginess and under-doneness, there was only one thing left to do: eat it and pay for it, but vow to never go back. and we haven't! and you shouldn't either.

i would eat here every week if i could.... i love, love, love,tiptop! my only problem is that i live in delaware so it's a long drive for me, but completely worth it. i'm a vegetarian and they have tons of veggie options - my favorite is the veggie wrap, and their sweet potato fries are so good. i'm also fond of the veggie philly cheese steak sandwich.

i've lived in columbus for my whole life and it doesn't get better thantiptop. everything i try is excellent (especially the sweet potato fries).

the outdoor patio is nice when you can find a table and they usually have good beers on tap. i love taking people here for the first time!

met up with friends in columbus while attending an event that the ohio state university held for band students.  we decided to grab a quick bite attiptop before the performance.  i tried the pot roast sandwich with regular fries, my colleagues tried the same sandwich with sweet potato fries.  everyone enjoyed the food.  i thought the pot roast was good, but for me a bit dry.   i needed to add the dipping sauce that was supposed to be for the sweet potato fries to the sandwich.  when i did that - it was really good.   the bar had the feeling of pubs that i visited in boston.  very comfortable and friendly staff.  they also serve drafts pbr for $2 and rc cola! definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

i would highly recommendtiptop. the menu is extensive and delicious. plus they have a great beer and overall bar menu to compliment. this is a must stop place when in the horrible town that hosts the suckeyes.

surprised me. i'd heard good things abouttiptop for years, but never was compelled to go in, probably because of how it looks on the exterior. today friends took me in for lunch and i was surprised at the look the minute i walked in. don't let the black exterior fool you - it has a nice quaint look inside. the waiter was very friendly and efficient and the lunches were tasty. heck, i'll be back now - what took me so long?

too busy?. i've been totiptop twice recently and they were very busy. in both cases, it took more than 10 minutes to even acknowledge we had entered the building. it looked like several folks had a case of "not my job man." i won't be back for a while.

a cool little local favorite.... i've been to thetiptop a few times and have always enjoyed it. it's super casual, quick and inexpensive, with locally grown food when possible. i've always had great service there as well.

the eggplant fries are a must. even my husband, who is not an eggplant fan really enjoyed them. the goat cheese salad was incredibly simple, but outstanding. my daughter had the veggie muffaletta and loved it and their dark wheat bread is awesome.

first review it must be said.... the food is good but the service is lacking. i have been here four times, each time i have left swearing that i won't go back because of the service. first visit, table was wobbly---we told the server who asked if we wanted to move (while looking around at a packed house and never once acknowledged that having a wobbly table is a major pain) we told him to forget it and we attempted to fix the wobble ourselves. same trip we were chastised for attempting to exit the restaurant through the entrance by some staff member. "go out that way please" my friend and i were laughing but only because it was absurd to get yelled at when we had dropped some cash on dinner. second and third visits were just to the bar. the service both times was very, very slow. i hate chatty wait staff as much as the next person but is eye contact too much to ask for? i realize that i'm not a superfox anymore but jeesh. so, i reluctantly went last week for lunch and i think i'm done with top top. we went at 2pm---not a huge lunch rush so i was surprised that the woman who seated us tossed menus at us without any sort of greeting. the server was slow and the whole experience was unpleasant. now, i've never been overly fond of the food but the meatloaf was dry and chewy and what the heck was up with the dry bread? tasteless and boring food. now, i will say that i love the atmosphere but when i'm back in columbus, i'll opt out of thetiptop.

just ok. i've been totiptop a few times to meet work colleagues downtown for lunch. i just haven't been impressed. on the first visit, my salad was limp and old. the second time i visited, we experienced poor service (absent server). yesterday i dined there for lunch and ordered the salmon. it was overcooked and dried out. the veggies were soggy too. i am glad i didn't pay more than $11 for that entree because it really wasn't very good. i don't think i'll be back unless someone insists i meet them there for lunch.

i finally made it totiptop! everything on the menu looked amazing! i had the pot roast sandwich w/ sweet potato fries, my boyfriend had the breakfast burrito. they both were yummy. pot roast is not something that i would normally order, but i've always heard how good it was and it comes on a pretzel roll. the fries were really good, they came with a sriracha dip. the breakfast burrito was really good, it had their awesome red bean hummus in it. i can't wait to go back and try something else. we went on a sunday around 11:30 and were seated immediately, when we left there was a line of about 15 people waiting, so go early.

great downttown joint.tiptop serves food till close 7 days a week. it is always a go to place for a late dinner on a saturday or sunday night when downtown. the pretzel buns are amazing and the sweet potato fries are the best in columbus.

...one of the most popular downtown restaurants in columbus, and for good reason. the spicy vegetarian corn chowder is a real treat - it's rich and creamy, and packed with flavor. it's one of those vegetarian dishes that makes you do a double-take and wonder if they've slipped you something with meat in it (the flavors are so strong). but it's 100% vegetarian, and boy is it ever delicious! thetiptop may not look like much from the outside, but it's really cute inside (tin ceilings, beautiful wooden bar, and cute booths…not to mention the theater-themed art on the walls. the food and the decor are both a real treat!

if you order the fried green beans fromtiptop kitchen and cocktails in columbus, you’re going to get a buttload of green beans in a basket. my friends laugh at me when that’s all i order for a work lunch outing. but when they’re all grabbing and dipping

sensational!. i met up with some friends attiptop before going to see a film at the ohio theatre. i had the sensational salmon hoagie with sweet potato fries. it was absolutely delicious! i'll definitely return soon.
