They are well known on the island for their brisket. We attended a small party there the other day and among the snack offerings they featured 'pulled brisket' with slider rolls and it was very good, as were the humus, babaknish (sp?), ziti and wings. Does that help at all? Not a destination dinner spot but okay to grab a bite. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Toppers is OK, but nothing great. There are so many places in that same area with much better food! Greenhouse has a couple of good things, but frankly we aren't impressed with it either. Our favorites in that area are Marty's, The Palms and Byblos. Marty's is right next door to and behind Toppers, and the food there is much better. Palms is on the other side of the bridge, so not within walking distance, but again, much better food. Byblos is across the street and maybe a quarter mile towards Philipsburg, and again, fabulous food.

Ok if you have never been there. You can do better for the same or less $$.

We have experienced Toppers and Toppers by the Sea. If you are staying @ Flamingo, La Vista, or Simpson Bay Resort try Toppers by the Sea. Pretty much the same menu but I thought it was a bit better & it's on the beach!!

It's funny how everyone's personal reviews are so different. We thought Topper's was by far the worst meal we had on the island (there were 4 of us). Different strokes for different folks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Frankly we didn't finish it. 2 had the lobster special, which had to have been from the night before, the other 2 had pasta, dry with barely any sauce and no flavor. I also think our server realized it was bad as he disappeared after he served it and did not return until he quickly left the bill. He never inquired about the meal or even more drinks.
