Their Thursday night appetizer specials are a WIN. The Ahi Tuna and spicy shrimp are both amazing. Great atmosphere with an outdoor area that featured a good guitarist / vocalist playing acoustic.

Top Dawg is a new sports bar that recently opened. We gave it a try today and have to say we think it is great. The venue has a large indoor bar, plenty of seating, a large patio, a small dining area that can be closed off for a small group, and even a small indoor play area for kids. The menu is pretty large and a large variety of appetizers, chicken tenders, burgers, wings, salads, sandwiches and more. On Sundays, they also offer a brunch menu. On this trip I tried the philly cheese steak with onion rings. My wife ordered the Southern BLT, which is a croissant topped with bacon, pimento cheese, lettuce and fried green tomatoes with a side of fries. Both sandwiches were delicious, but we both agreed the BLT was the better of the two items since it was so unique. We visited on a Sunday morning and the place was packed, however we were seated immediately and the staff was very friendly and attentive. This is definitely a welcomed addition to the area and we will definitely be back often. I’m sure this place will become a favorite of the local neighborhoods.

Great family night on Wednesday’s with a projector and arts and crafts for the kids. It kept my very high energy daughter entertained. It would be a good place to chill and watch a game. Huge bar area. Bar style food for the most part. Fried pickles were good.

Had dinner around 6pm. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Ordered a pretzel, boneless wings and a Black & Blue Burger with bacon added and a side of blue cheese slaw. Food was great. Fries were fantastic. The texture reminded me of McDonalds fries but tasted better. The pretzel was delicious. The outter crust was thin and crunchy and you could pull it apart. Presentation was nice and the pretzel came with cheese and Dijon mistard. Service was good. Our food came out fast. Nice atmosphere for both kids and adults. Nice patio outside. There seemed to be a playroom for kids in the back but I did not check it out.

Love this place! Moved to this area not too long ago and I was saddened by the lack of quality sport bar options nearby. When Top Dawg opened down the street, I basically did a backflip in joy! Quality food and amazing service. Plenty of TVs to watch the games on Sunday, and a large bar that could easily fit 50 people. Great food and drink specials throughout the week, and the outdoor area is amazing as well. Oh, did I mention live music? Yeah, they got that too! If you love sports bars with a local but modern flair, look no further than Top Dawg!!

This is one of my new favorite places because of the food and especially because of the service. The twos times I’ve been there I purchased hot wings and fries and also purchased a chicken salad the second time. Both times Dana sounded pleasant and professional over the phone and in person. She was extremely accommodating making sure I had everything I needed so I can have a good lunch. She even made me an extra cup of ice because we all know sweet tea needs loads of ice! Lol!!! I will be back and also refer you guys. Forgot to take pics, next time!

Every time we've been here and no matter what size of crowd is there, we've always had excellent service! The patio is dog friendly which is great. The food is amazing and they have the best wings I've ever had! They also give a discount to first responders and military. The service is great, there's TVs to watch any sport games you are wanting to see. Love this place and always a place we come back to!

Great place to bring your dog! Beer, drinks and food was above what you would expect. Delicious and well priced. They also have a duck in the backyard and that’s pretty cool.
