" I've been to many diners, but Tip Top just does it right! Their breakfast offerings are a highlight, especially the pancakes. I also appreciate their effort to incorporate Greek specialties into the menu. Everything from the ambiance to the hospitality was beyond my expectations. It's the kind of place you can make a quick stop or enjoy a leisurely meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last visit to Tip Top. I ordered the French toast and they were not soaked enough; it felt more like plain bread. Service was good, but the food quality fell short of my previous visits. Not sure if I will return after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped here for lunch and got the gyros platter. While the meat was tender, I found the portions a bit smaller than I anticipated. The service was adequate, though my server didn't seem very engaged. The vibe is very casual and laid back, and I enjoyed my meal overall. I would likely return but might try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tip Top is definitely a go-to spot if you're in the area. I loved the extensive breakfast menu, and the coffee was consistently good. I was impressed with my server, who provided great recommendations. The home fries were crispy and seasoned nicely. I truly believe it stands out from other diners in town, and I'll make sure to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely meal at Tip Top last week. Their Greek specialties are very authentic, and I especially enjoyed the moussaka. The wait was a bit long, but the staff kept us informed, which is appreciated. Overall, a great choice for those craving both diner and Greek food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to Tip Top, and I have to say I was impressed! The tzatziki served with the pita was creamy and delightful. The prices are incredibly fair, especially for the quality of food we received. I enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, but the staff managed to keep things running smoothly. Will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot about Tip Top, my expectations were high. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food wasn't quite on par with what I hoped. My cheesesteak was lukewarm and lacked flavor, and my fries were soggy instead of crispy. Service felt rushed, and I would suggest they pay more attention to detail in their kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)
