There's another location called T-Burgers run by another brother on Foothill Blvd in Monrovia. It's between N Magnolia & N Primrose @ Acacia St. Prob the most fancy and very much a local favorite!

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.

Matthew Yang

Order the cheese fries . Small can feed about 5 people. Better than Johnny rockets and several other burger joints . Also, order the TOPS quesadilla .

Nathan Lee

If you order the chili cheese fries or tots , prepare your arteries and some antacid, you’re in for a good time

Josephine Chee

The pastrami is the best, lean, juicy. The zucchini fries are crunchy and tasty.

Larry Liang

Excellent Burgers , sandwiches and salads . Portions are big. Try the sweet potato fries , it will change your world.

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
