Great food, excellent service. Would highly recommend this place to everyone.
Soups are always great. The steak on the breakfast menu is top shelf.
I just love this place! I have been coming there for years with family and friends. I love the old man at the counter that gives out bubble gum. Menu is great too, and generous!
Went here for lunch one day. We loved the sign! The place was spacious and clean. The waitress was super nice and after telling her that it was our first time she gave us suggestions and helped us narrow down the extensive menu. I had the spaghetti and loved it. It came with a salad and the portions were ample. The place had lots of regulars. The waitresses knew lots of people by name and customers knew one another. Would def go back
I went yesterday morning around 8:45 am, our waitress was an older lady. She was an absolute sweetheart and perfect at her job, she was patient with my questions and didn't make me feel bad for asking! I had a mushroom omelette with rye toast, it was delicious!!! They even had Louisiana hot sauce! The decor is still classic, but beautiful and very clean. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a happy start to your day!
Food tastes great. The pancakes and crepes were both delicious. The service was awesome. Our server was very attentive and welcoming. The food came out hot and fast. The food is fairly priced. It can get busy during breakfast hours on the weekend, and seating is limited. I would recommend this spot.
I had a great breakfast here. It's one of the few places open really early.
The pancakes were made just right. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Also, very good bacon.
The people are nice and friendly. And the place is clean.
When I'm looking for an early breakfast, this is the place.
First time here an the place was crowded for breakfast. Sat down an the waitress asked us if we wanted coffee. Checking the menu and we were ready to order. The waitress was very nice and service was good . The only down fall was we waited longer than usual to get are food. The waitress let us know the delay was because there was a large order placed in front of ours. Over all the food was good an we would come back.
Love this place and wish they were still open 24 hours...Ordered the turkey dinner to share with my boyfriend..Waitress brought it to us separated onto 2 plates without even asking...That was awesome! The portion were so huge on those 2 plates we thought she misunderstood us and brought us 2 dinners...That's how much food was on each plate. Food was excellent. Great service!!
Big Top is a mom and Pop place with a good and affordable menu. They also serve breakfast all hours that they are open. Definitely a plus in my book.
Service is top notch and they have a following of regulars.
I had the egg. Cheese crescent sandwich which comes with your choice of meat and hashbrowns for a slim price of 7.50!
Hubs had a poor boy sandwich which came with soup and fries for 9.50
Will definitely be back!
I go here all the time for the chicken fried steak or the breakfast skillet. Really good, reasonably priced diner food. Everyone who works here is always so friendly. Plus they're one of the few places in the immediate area open 24 hours (except on Sundays).
EDIT: Sadly, they’re no longer open 24 hours - they close at 9pm now. No more late night chicken fried steak. :(
Delicious Breakfast Joint! The waitress was the friendliest I have met in a Long time. She’s been there over twenty years. Go to the people who are Good at what they do!! You can’t miss at this Restaurant 👍
Good food, large portions for the money. Great go to place any time of day or night. Many items on the menu. Homemade soups. Nice, friendly staff. A neighborhood favorite. Overall, a nice place to unwind and enjoy a good meal.
