Tip top is an above average bar for food.We got the full gay street salad and the tomato soup and cheese curds.The salad greens were fresh and the veggies crisp. The croutons and dressing are right out of the gfs case and do the produce a disservice.The tomato soup has a smoky chipotle flavor on the front but is missing a bottom note. It tastes like canned Campbell's with chipotle power and liquid smoke. The chives were a nice touch though.The pretzels were dry,over cooked and had zero salt. Definitely not worth the money.The bathrooms at 8pm were not in great shape.All in all not a good date spot.

Pretty solid for late night food and a reliable beer selection - highlight were the onion rings and house-made chips, but most everything else I would say was fairly average. I appreciate the vast array of sandwich offerings - the Monte Cristo was nice and bulky with a generous portion of meat, but was a bit too heavy on the bread for me. My friend enjoyed the open-faced roast beef sandwich - super heart, basically like a modified Thanksgiving meal in every bite. Another friend of mine got a fried fish meal that was a nice flaky texture and generous portion. Was a bit pricier than I'd like for a late night meal though. So yeah - my synopsis is generous portions, but you pay for them alright... and the side dishes were more impressive than the meals. Appreciate the fact that their kitchen is open so late though :)

I've been to Tip Top many times! I'm never blown away but I do seem to keep coming back. The sandwich is a sandwich, not much more to say than that. It's nothing mind blowing but I did scarf the entire thing down! Waiter and bartender were both really friendly, and I enjoy the vibe here. It's not a super polished place and I think there's something nice about that! I give 3 stars because 4 seems like a bit much but I would still recommend people come here!

Came in after a performance at the Palace. It's middle of the day- probably around 2pm. There were not a lot of diners. The server was so nice, very attentive and talkative. They were very accommodating for my child and what she wanted- Mac and cheese, side of corn and side of broccoli. Hubs and I shared the Italian shaved beef sandwich and pot roast on pretzel bun. Great experience and I will definitely be back.

Love me some Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails. Located at 73 East Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio, Tip Top is definitely a Columbus staple. Street parking is available outside the restaurant and the surrounding area and the ParkMobile makes it easy.Tip Top has great food, slow but friendly service, and a divey feel and atmosphere. Five of us dined here during Pride right after the parade and before heading back down to Goodale park. Service was super slow but it never really is too fast but I have never cared. Enjoyed the time to talk and catch up with friends.This trip the group enjoyed: -Philly Cheese Steak -Tip Top Patty Melt -Monte Cristo -Steak-N-SwissThis has become a annual event for this group though I enjoy eating here throughout the year. I definitely recommend the Patty Melt and the Meatloaf if you are looking for a recommendation.

I was finally able to try this local gem. After hearing nothing but great things about it. I got my hands on a Tip-Top Pot Roast Sandwich, which was absolutely amazing . Very flavorful . I added some grilled onions to the sandwich making it a 11/10 sandwich. The fries were on the money as well. The restaurant was very dark inside but clean. Our server was very nice and friendly. Very fast service as well. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend stopping in and trying some good food. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying more items on the menu!
