The Original location is on Walnut & Allen, near Pasadena City College (above Colorado). The 2nd is on Colorado Blvd, across the 210 FWY onramp/offramp- between Michillinda & Rosemead Blvds @ Merlon.
Best Pastrami Ever!!!! Not too much bread , not greasy at all. Plenty of pastrami . The Zucchini sticks are great too!
One final location is a Tops Jr in Alhambra. On Main St. Between Fremont & Primrose, near the Target store. I've heard this one is a franchise. Not the same quality but, still not bad.
Order the cheese fries . Small can feed about 5 people. Better than Johnny rockets and several other burger joints . Also, order the TOPS quesadilla .
If you order the chili cheese fries or tots , prepare your arteries and some antacid, you’re in for a good time
The pastrami is the best, lean, juicy. The zucchini fries are crunchy and tasty.
Excellent Burgers , sandwiches and salads . Portions are big. Try the sweet potato fries , it will change your world.
Love the zucchini sticks with homemade ranch . Hubs is obsessed with the chili cheese fries (and he's tried them all)!
The Original Tops Special and "small" chili cheese fries .
The small chili cheese fries is the size of a toddler. Order it!
Their quarter-pounder cheeseburger is friggin awesome. Long wait in drive thru though, but worth it.
Tops burger topped with pastrami is amazing.
You have to try the Tops Special and the onion rings . Really good.
A small order of chili cheese fries can feed a family. Afraid to see what a large looks like.
When u get a breakfast burrito ask for easy potatoes and get the green salsa
The breakfast burritos are amazing.
Monster Burger = Double-Bacon-Chili-Cheese-Pastrami Burger . And this is one of the best places to get it XD
Order your burger medium rare for the best taste.
Try the Sweet Potato Fries ...a meal in itself!
Try the Chicken Salad or Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger and fried zucchini
Chipotle Wrap is the Bomb! Try half chicken n half asada=p

Small Chili Cheese fries and a large Orange Bang is more then enough

Breakfast sandwich was pretty good. Fries were super bland though, even with ketchup .

Nice ReModel! Looks very clean. I like that they gave a big space at the outside tables for The Handicapped but, what about the space for the rest of us between the chairs and tables?? Tight Squeeze! - Joseph C
They constantly run out of bone-in chicken at dinner time! 😳 - P. Chunyi Hsu
This is a very bougie Target. The which wich inside versus the regular food court. There’s a also a really nice men’s grooming section. - Justin Ordoveza
So much more than just another mall!! This was an Amazing Experience!! Great shopping & restaurants, Indoor & Outdoor and easy parking!! - David Burke
