“ Great hospitality within an hour of closing. The same young man took, cooked and prepared my order. The food was excellent it consisted of a Jumbo BBQ sandwich combo w/double fries crispy and drink. Thanks ”
“ 6/10/25.. walked in and was greeted by 3 employees. One person was wiping down all the tables and cleaning. Smelled.good and felt good. BBQ baloney sandwich was great. Very good experience !! ”
“ This was my first time at a Tops and everything about my experience was excellent. The service was great and they were very friendly. I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich and it was the best I’ve ever had. I’m staying at a hotel 45 minutes away for a work trip, but I’ll gladly make the drive for lunch again. ”
“ First time trying Tops. We were coming through town in the ambulance, and decided to have something different. I'm pretty picky on BBQ and typically need to be in the mood for it. We had a good visit. I got the jumbo brisket sandwich with baked beans and potato salad. I can't speak for others issues, but my food come out hot and very good. The staff was very friendly. Was excited to see a kool-aid dispenser! ”
“ While the food isn't the same as when I was growing up (pork shoulder now vs Boston butt) it's still good. Service was great here, lovely young lady at the register Saturday May 17 lunchtime. ”
“ I was parked in Semi Truck near Tops off I55. To this restaurant. Very good food. Oh yea, banana pudding is jumping too. I'm from Alabama so had to try Arkansas BBQ. ”
“ I had a great experience at Tops to today. I was greeted with a smile and greetings from my Server. Sherrell W was her name In Marion AR. The food was great but the service was amazing. Thanks ”
“ I ordered the #2 with the hot sauce, sadly I was not impressed with the sauce, it was salty but not hot. I also got fries, banana pudding, and sweet tea. The tea was good, bit low on sugar but that is not a bad thing, the pudding tasted like it was made using skim milk, all in all, the food was filling and flavorful, I was hoping for a hotter sauce, but it was not terrible as far as flavor goes. The pulled pork was juicy and tasted very good, the slaw was great, tasted fresh. All in all, I am glad I gave them another chance, my last review gave them 3 stars, this one is 5 stars. Great comeback ”
