Let's Do Lunch - Tops Diner

My treat - meet me at Tops downtown - just hop on a street car - you can spot me - I'll be the only one there not using a cell phone.

Thank you for putting Tops on the web. What wonderful memories, so long ago. Thanks again.

David - I loved this as I was truly hoping that I would find a photo of the Top's Dinner. Also maybe one of Top's Grab & Go...

You're killing me! I got off work at the Tribune at 9 PM and could go to Tops and have a burger and fries (covered in hot gravy in the winter) and still catch the 9:20 trackless trolley to Moxham.

This was in the late 1950's, and prices were actually a bit less than this menu shows. I was making ~$1.20/hr so could get a full meal for 30 minutes of work. Not bad.

I remember the french fries with gravy. they were great. what i time to grow up. the 1950s were the best. I then moved on to rock and roll music with the El Vistas and that led me to the Coney Island for hot dogs with secret sauce at 3 in the morning that the "best cup of coffee" in the world. It was a magical time. Paul Walker

Just found this by accident. Lived near Johnstown for a while when very young. I recall that Tops had a food truck sort of thing that would roll through neighborhoods during the evening. Anyone remember this or is this jsut another hallucination?

I too remember the fries with gravy. they were great. I have never seen fries offered with gravy anywhere else.
