Hightopps Backstage Grille

Closest thing to a dive bar along York Road. Huge facility. It has a large parking lot. It has inside dining, outside dining, an inside bar and an outside bar, and scheduled live entertainment. Thursday night Football gets you a pitcher of beer and a pizza for 15 bucks. This Thursday afternoon my wife and I sat at the outside bar. The server was great. My wife ordered the fish and chips, which was huge and I had their version of a jambalaya., All good.

I went here over the summer and would like to go back in 2025 with my kids. The playground area looks perfect for me while I enjoy a few cold ones. The bartender wasn't the most friendly, but it was during the State Fair, so I'll give him some grace. The ambiance in this place always reminds me of Ocean City.

really enjoyed my dinner at hightopps!the menu is large with lots of vegetarian options. prices are average. i devoured my chicken caesar wrap (and the sunset crush, highly recommend!) and the fries were well seasoned. it was a saturday night and we sat outside. there was a band playing with live music, cornhole, and also indoor seating with lots of TVs. our service was average, but it was not very crowded so im not sure how it would be on a busy night. would go back, but wouldn't write home about it.

Food & service was sub-par. Ambiance was that of a dive bar. 2 of the 3 orders were not received correctly. 1 of the 2 orders sent back, still came out wrong.

This is a great spot for food, drinks, and fun. There's plenty of parking and seating both indoors and outdoors. Lots of TVs with sports. Delicious food and large portions. The half and half soup is the best. Great service. We try to come every time we're in the area.

Came on over to high tops after an event at the fairgrounds. They have a huge lot with plenty of parking. It was walking distance from the fairgrounds and the lot is actually shared with them. The outdoor patio was closed since it was chilly and raining. Inside wasn't super crowded. Most people were at the bar area. I have been here many times before mistily when I went to school in the area. Got a seat at a high table in the bar area. Waitress was nice hard to make our order. We had the wings with mild flavor. On Thai night they had live music. Food wasn't that expensively we just had the apps and a couple of drinks.

The OG spot. They have great drinks and fun bartenders. The food is pretty awesome bar food. It's a big space with lots of indoor and outdoor spots, so it's great for patio drinking or enjoying the AC. They sometimes have live music which add even more fun.

Met some friends here from Maryland and they have been coming here since it was a wooden dive bar.....those were the days because it's not the case anymore. First impression this place is huge! Different levels, different bars, dining inside and outside TV's throughout it's so big that you don't feel like you are crowded despite a full parking lot. I can imagine how busy this place gets on game days. Staff was plentiful and nice throughout. Now the FOOD we started with Jumbo crab pretzels topped with the crab dip and Jack cheese OMG fantastic, a guilty pleasure I even could see myself hiding in a dark alley eating them out of a paper bag. Friends wanted the fried pickles and I'm not a pickle person but they enjoyed it. ENTREES I had the crab cake sandwich and it was fantastic! Nice size and flavor and the fries were very good! My partner had the salmon club and he loved the jalapeño bacon but didn't like it paired with the cilantro mayo...overall he liked it. Great place! If you can't find at least 10 things you want to order on their menu then there is something wrong with you!

LOL its always interesting to come back to places you remember from when you were younger. I def liked Hightopps in my 20s but when I think about it I was only drinking. I had actual food here recently and let me tell you. Never again.This is just an over large dive bar do not come here for anything but a drink deal

This was my first time at Hightopps and I visited with a friend who had been here several times years ago. She mentioned that they had done several renovations since she had last been. They also had a nice outdoor patio area that unfortunately, we were unable to get to since the weather was awful. We sat at the bar area and the restaurant was not too packed around 5. It did have some larger parties coming in throughout the night. We were greeted right away as soon as we sat down. There were several bartenders who kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good. We ordered the crab pretzel, fries, nachos, and fried pickles. The food was sub par with none of the dishes really standing out. The menu just has your typical fare. I do appreciate that they offer smaller sizes. I love pickles, but it was way too thick for the fried pickles. The crab dip was spread so thin on the pretzel. The nachos were ok with some of the chips already soggy when it came out not to mention the huge piece of ripped lettuce. Like I said, the service was good and it is a nice LOW KEY place for basic bar food and drinks.
