Kitchen was spotless, recipes were memorized, staff was always hard at work, bosses were prideful, restaurant looked gorgeous, and the food looked simple, delicious, and perfect for the family. Bravo Tops Diner, honestly makes me want to strive and work harder in the kitchen.

Jim is a good guy. His dad was a legend. Always had a kind word and few minutes to spare. Great family that has provided amazing food for decades.

I always respect chefs who aren't afraid to talk about their stock recipes in detail

As a Newark native, this diner is by far the best most diverse and consistent restaurant I’ve ever been to. There’s a reason it’s ranked number 1 in the country and the line is out the door every day. In a city that has seen so much hardship tops has always been a bright spot in our community so to see how much effort and attention to detail goes into serving the often overlooked people in the place I grew up in gives me even more appreciation for tops, thank you for all your intention and mastery to every staff member that has ever worked there

I have so much respect for these people. Having a huge menu, and doing it from scratch is almost impossible. They do it like a well oiled machine. Kudos guys!

You can see from the way that the veal bone and marrow stock is prepared that this place has high standards and a commitment to making quality food. A lesser place wouldn't make their own stock, or, would cut corners on the ingredients. And, it goes without saying that the scale of this operation is hugely impressive, producing so many distinct dishes as well as baked goods, at a high level of quality.

I can attest and say Tops Diner is hands down the best diner I have ever been eaten at. Their Thanksgiving Everyday meal is top tier, literally Thanksgiving Everyday at Tops. The fried chicken is crazy. The cherry cheesecake and churro doughnuts are simply the best. The drinks are always tasty and bottles of prosecco can be purchased as well. And the most important aspect of Tops is their service. I mean the absolute best service in town. I go to Tops at least 1x a week and I can assure you this is where you want to go. 10/10

It’s true. I go to a university near by and Tops Diner is always the spot for us. It’s a little bit pricer that your normal spot but none of us mind it every once in a while because of the quality of food and experience! Extremely professional, clean, and friendly environment. The food is always top of the line exceptional. Tops is extremely unique in that regard.

You can tell a diner is doing well when the owner is wearing a Patek 😁 Looks like a great place - food looks awesome!

Everything they served looked delicious. Is it just me, or did their disco fries remind anyone else of Canada's poutine?

As I understand Diners are becoming rarer and a lot of them keep closing, which is a shame. It is good to know that there are still some owners who try to preserve this cultural and culinary history. A very interesting video, very beautiful venue with good retro décor and an appetizing menu.

A diner that makes its own veal stock for brown gravy?! I'd be more keen to call this establishment an upscale restaurant. This is an impressive place and all of the chefs and cooks seem top-tier!

Sad to hear about your father. He would walk around and talk to all the guests and even sit down at the tables cause he would love to to talk to everyone. I remember he brought over a new dessert to our table after my wife and I finished eating and my wife told him she loved it. We get in the car and our to-go bag was filled with cookies. Wonderful man. I’m probably repeating what others have said in the comments but this place is incredible. Not only huge portions but every single dish here is incredible. The bake shop alone probably better then any bakery you’ll go to. Try the crab bisque and cookie dough cake one of my favorites.

I've been to Top's Diner many times- it is the best diner in the world. It is a great restaurant- full stop. Imagine having such an extensive menu -breakfast to late night diners and making everything from scratch and having it turn out damn near perfect. It is a labor of love and a heroic effort. You will not be disappointed and I urge you to stop by and experience it first-hand.

This is a crazy. I am also in the restaurant industry as a fast food franchisee and our stores do very well. We are very prideful in how we take care of our staff and run our stores, but to see the organization and scale to which these people are running this place is wild. The amount of money to run this place alone probably has to be at least a million bucks a month. I would love to visit this place.

“This gravy is laborious, it’s a laborious sign of love & tradition.” That right there.
