Steve’s Top Dog — Restaurant in Bristol

We went here for lunch and had a good experience. All of the staff that we interacted with was very polite. The gentleman with tattoos who I believe is a cook came out and asked how everything was. Our waitress and food runner was also on top of everything. Our food was fresh and hot, and was what we expected it to be.

If I was to give any “constructive criticism,” for lack of better wording because my review is 5 stars. It would be to add a TV or two. I could see this restaurant being a good place for family fun events too like a trivia night as a small example. My second would be the coleslaw. I didn’t mind it but I was surprised to see bright purple coleslaw. It was different. Maybe provide the option for traditional coleslaw or the purple slaw.

I did not have an experience at all like the reviews that provided 1 star about a month ago. That’s truly unfortunate because we didn’t experience anything like that. I’m definitely a customer and “reviewer” that speaks up about that and we did not have a bad experiences at Steve’s Top Dog at all! It was great. I feel that this small business likely hit a couple of bumps and otherwise is getting to smooth sailing waters now. I’d definitely recommend it for a filling...

I can’t believe there aren’t more reviews on here for this food truck; Steve’s Top Dog. It’s a staple and one of the hidden gems in Bristol, CT. When you are on the social media platforms, everyone recommends it and it’s easy to see why. When Bristol and surrounding areas have events, he’s usually there and it’s easy to see why. Food - Clam Strip Dinner. Everything was cooked to order, as usual so when it came out of the window it was piping hot and fresh. I don’t know if it’s because of the oil or the setting being too high so it’ll be come out faster, a few of the clam strips seemed burnt but they were still chewy as you would expect clam strips to be. The fries..were hot and had a great salt seasoning to them which if done right, you don’t need ketchup or anything to dip them in. Prices - are pretty cheap/average compared to other restaurants. They do have specials, for instance..today’s special was a 10 piece nugget with fries for $10. This clam dinner was $12 which at a restaurant, would’ve been 15-20. Parking - Plenty of it as it’s located in the parking lot of a park on Middle St in Bristol. Return factor - Most Definitely. On a 1-5 scale..4.75..On a scale of...

After multiple failed attempts to eat here, I realized a review was in order.

The first time, we received the wrong order and missing sides. All the meat was dry except the pulled pork sandwiches. The mac and cheese was horrible and I mean shredded cheese on overcooked pasta horrible. We went there at 1pm on a Saturday.

The most recent time we called to order for pick up and they were out of two of the three items we wanted so we said we would look at the menu and call back. When we called back just 10 minutes later they said they are no longer doing take out. It was 5pm. There is no excuse to be out of everything at 5pm. I give up.

And the parking lot is impossible. Fitting a truck in there is a mess beyond measure.

It’s sad because we are on a high protein diet and really loved the idea of having a great bbq place nearby. This was a true...
