Finally go to the Tip Top last night for dinner and had a great experience. Great job with the remodel, and the outdoor patio is very nice as they put up a high enough fence to block the street and make it private, but it is lareg enough to be fun.
Excellent liquor and beer selections at reasonable prices. Food was way better than expected - huge portions, excellent quality, and nicely different than the usual Madtown fare.
We had fried pickles which were done with tempura batter so they were not heavy and the slight sweetness of the batter nicely offset the brininess of the pickles. Huge basket with a great home made dipping sauce ( a remoulade) as well. Then, thank God cause it is also big, we split a plate of two pepper mac 'n cheese, which was cooked perfectly and the jalapenos were offset perfectly by the poblanos for a flavorful balance.
Twelve taps, good cocktails, great service and a friendly atmosphere. Hope you do well Tip Top!
