Tops Bar-B-Q

Their pulled pork was so dry I had to make it a BBQ pulled pork soup with BBQ sauce. The BBQ had an overpowering vinegar taste. I’d rather spend the time and smoke it myself.

The food really wasn’t that good and you didn’t get a lot for the money, the service was also not that great either. I would probably avoid this place if I were you.

Great customer service and food! A sandwich got left off at the drive thru and i didn’t know it until I got home. I went back to the restaurant and told them and they gave me the sandwich! Great service to fix the error and fix it quickly!

Their chicken was ok, maybe even good. But everything else was bad. I had the combo platter and the ribs were the worst ribs I feel that I have ever tasted.
The Brisket was a tad dry and tough.
But the ribs? I didn’t finish them. Very Fatty and just tasted bad.

Been eating at tops many years. they are getting lazy on chopping the bbq, It’s more like pulled than chopped. Past 3 times I request white meat chopped, but they want me to have the chunky meat,.you get bbq bean soup instead of beans. The lady that chops the meat needs to be retrained. she’s been there a long time and has gotten lazy, cuz she knows her job is secured.

Tea is sweet, BBQ is smoky and I didn’t have to tend a fire for 10 hours. Good service. There is out door seats but it’s raining today. Whole brisket for less than $ 50, I can’t make one for that at home. Wondering if it’s as good as mine. The butt samwitchs r good!

Last two times I’ve bought ribs they were tuff as nails…
Never again. The pork should come off the bone easily not with a knife.

I’ve had a lot of barbecue on my trip here in Millington, and while I like Tops okay, it’s not my favorite. I had the third-​slab ribs dinner, with fries and slaw for sides. The ribs were dry style; if you’re a big fan of dry style, I’m sure it’s good stuff, though I prefer wet style. The sauce on the side was tasty, if a bit too vinegary for me. So, really, this review should be, «If you like dry-​style barbecue and a vinegary sauce, it’s really good.» Not very helpful, I guess.

I have been eating at Top’s since I was a kid. I live in Chicago but my family all lives in the Memphis suburbs. In Chicago no matter where you go it’s not Memphis style. The sauce is the problem. In Chicago it’s ALWAYS sweet, sometimes honey and sometimes hot! Yuck! I love Tops sauce! My kids love their cheeseburgers and fries. Their baked beans are yummy too! I have been watching my entire family eat a pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw on it, like they serve here. I am told it’s delicious but I just can’t jump on that band wagon! LOL! When your in the Memphis area, check out Tops! Our food is always hot, correct and served with a smile. I don’t know their system for all the toothpicks in the cheeseburgers, because everyone orders them with different toppings, but they always get it right!

My family and I just ordered our food the cashier was extremely rude and seemed disinterested in his job. We got our food within 10 mins and the fries were cold, the bbq sauce tastes like mustard, and the pulled pork is really dry. Probably the worst bbq place I’ve been too. After eating here we felt like we should go to another restaurant in order to get our money’s worth and actually feel full after eating. Don’t bother wasting your time or money here.

I’ve stopped by this place several times on my way home from work. There’s been three instances that I’ve found hair in my food. Today I spent around $ 50 there to buy lunch for my coworkers. And wouldn’t you know it, my sandwich had a 8 – 10 inch strand of hair in it. I refuse to do business here again. The people are nice, the prices are ok, but hair is unacceptable to me.

Best place in Millington to get an awesome burger! Quiet casual place. They say they’re known for their Bar-​B-​Q, but the Bar-​B-​Q is not that great to be honest. The burgers are the best thing there in my opinion.

Tops, it is what it is. Middle of the road BBQ. They do have the best price in town, and, the older locations (Winchester & Mendenhall) have a great burger since their grill is ‘rightly seasoned’. My recommendation — go for the Memphis Perks coupon/​groupon, $ 30 for $ 15. Using that will get you a lot of food at a reasonable price. You can get better BBQ at most other places, but, not at this price point.

Fast and friendly service. The military discount will have me coming back. I had a half slab plate. The ribs were tasty when dry. I didn’t care for their sauce. The sides were delicious.

As someone who been raised on BBQ I feel Tops is one of the best. For the most part my family and I’s food has been good. There have been a few slip ups (which is why they didn’t receive 5 stars), but when I expressed dislike they have corrected it. There have been employees in the past that have had attitude though, but haven’t had a problem in a long time. I like that they offer 10% discount to military and have many coupons circulating that you can use to save money!

I hate to give a rating based on one bad experience, but this pushed me over the limit today.
I’ve had good and bad meals at this particular Tops. If you want a good cheeseburger, Tops is the place to go. If you want a «Memphis average» barbecue sandwich, Tops is the place to go. However, avoid the brisket like the plague.
First of all the brisket tastes like roast beef. You’re expecting some nice, smoky brisket with a bit of sauce, but no — roast beef. That would almost be excusable, but the price for it is ridiculous.
Stay away from Tops brisket and ribs. They do burgers and pulled pork sandwiches pretty well, but nothing else.
Oh, they also forgot to put my apple pie turnover in my drive-​through order today.

We tried the burger, ribs & the BBQ nachos. The ribs were a little dry. My husband thought the burger was ok. The BBQ nachos was just ok too. Too much cheese & the BBQ sauce & pork isn’t something we’ll be craving anytime soon. They do have a 10% Military discount & the portions are big. But next time we crave for BBQ we’ll probably go elsewhere unless where feeling really lazy and don’t feel like driving too far.

we like this place when we want to get some fast food BBQ at a very good price. This Tops is the only one who has BBQ nachos and that is are favorite item on the menu. The sweet tea here is also very good. We have had the BBQ sandwich platter which comes with two sides. It isnt the best we have ever had but for as fast as it comes out we like it.

Be sure you know what to order when you get in line. Also the rib sand which isn’t worth money and isn’t very good. The BBQ is decent and the reason it’s been a staple in memphis because of it’s BBQ.

Decent stuff! Fast, cheap and it’s a lot of food for the money!
Also offers 10% Military discount.
