My in laws introduced us to Tops Grill in Rotterdam. We love going there for breakfast and lunch, as anticipated there is was a crowd waiting to be seated. Luckily there is ample seating so the waiting goes fast. The decor when you first walk in is unique, with a full bar with seating and a full dessert case right in the front. You can get a typical breakfast or something unusual like the morning quesadilla. It was very good. Our waitress Charlie was great. Kept checking on us and refilling our coffees, she even anticipated who would need a take home container. I recommend giving Tops a try.

Recently met a friend to break bread & visit, lovely place!! We enjoyed a wonderful welcoming waitress who was patient, kind and attentive (big tip for sure). The place was busy and only getting busier, however we were welcome to stay and enjoy our visit. The food was delicious picture attached. If you love diner food like I do you will enjoy your time here. I got hash with eggs and English muffin, yummy orange juice too! I will go back when in the area. Bathrooms clean. Parking lot safe. Wonderful experience!
