For just looking like a bar this place has extremely good food. The wait staff were on their game and a nice mix of casual and professional. Next trip to Gainesville is definitely going to include another dinner here

Great bar inside and outside to order or sit. We enjoyed sitting outside in the back. There was a patio heater to sit by and enjoy the open area. There was a good selection of beer on tap and some others available in bottles or cans.

I got cold fries but all in all they gave me new ones and everything turned out to be OK.

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Great server! Considering I got an appetizer with my dinner, and tipped well, I only spent 30 dollars. Will be back again!

The Top is popular in Gainesville and I was excited to try it. I went here with my family when they visited in town on a Tuesday around 6:00. It was kind of busy but we only had to wait around 10 minutes. The vibes in there are really nice, it is clean, decorated nicely, and not too loud. Definitely really liked the atmosphere it gives off hipster vibes. They have a taco deal on Tuesday and their menu has a wide variety. We ordered the corn nuggets as an appetizer and they were good it came with a lot. I got the good morning burger which was good but honestly not as good as I expected and I thought it was not filling enough. I did really like the sweet potato fries though. My sister got the San Diego chicken which she enjoyed a lot. For desert we got the chocolate cake which was amazing it was very rich. Our waiter was very attentive.
My only complaint besides what I mentioned about my burger is that our food took kind of long to come out. Also parking is kind of hard to find here

Waiting for nearly 1.5 hours for food after ordering seems a bit absurd. Not to discredit the food in any way which is always good, but the fact of how the wait for 45 minutes for a table turned in to over an hour was understandable. However watching people who were seated after us getting their food served quickly within 20 minutes seemed off. Our tables order was around 8:30pm and then the food wasn't ready until after 10:15 pm. If you have time to waste this place isn't bad at all, but just know that service is not their top priority, no pun intended.

We (7 of us) arrived at opening time, so organized and quick to get everyone in and settled. Bar service great, while we waited for our seating area.
Then we got seated and relaxed checking out the menu. Black Bean Cakes Appetizer.... OMG delicious,never had anything like it. Then the Burger and Sweet Potato fries..... Great experience.

First time visiting Gainsville, stumbled across this place while looking for some Good Food. Let's just say, it's called "The Top" for a reason. Drinks, Food, and Staff were all on point. All Drinks are made with Fresh Craft Syrups and Mixers, Most of the food is local and Everything was delicious! I highly recommend the " Garlic and Goat" Appetizer and any of their Craft Cocktails. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night cap or dinner!

The food was really good and there is something for everyone! Great for food allergies, lots of gluten-free and dairy-free options with plenty of vegan and omnivore choices as well. Great ambiance and decor. Two people recommended it to us when we were staying in downtown Gainesville so we are glad we tried it!

Sunset was beautiful. Nachos are really good. Bartender outside was on top of things and the beers were cold and perfect with the nachos. Really fun way to wind down.
