This is a review from a 1985 visit to Top O the River when I was a lonely GI (from California) at Ft. McClellan, Alabama. On my first weekend pass I ventured out into town and wanted to try some real Southern cuisine. Well, my sergeant recommended this place Top O the River just outside the gates of the post, and, man, 25 years later, I still think about that great meal! I just remember that I ordered a bit of everything on the menu.... catfish, chicken, corn, greens, hush puppies... and it was all outstanding and different from any other regional food I had ever tasted. The catfish was so tasty, and it became the standard by which I judged all catfish thereafter. The service also was top-notch, warm and hospitable, as it usually was around town for us soldiers (who supported the local economy). Top O the River was my first real "taste" of the deep South and it greatly contributed to my fond memories and impressions of Alabama.
My wife and I always enjoy it. The food and service is the best !!!!
My graduating class came to the Anniston location for our annual dinner. We had about 20 people, and the staff was very accommodating. Our servers were wonderful; the food was cooked to exact order, and everyone's order was correct!
Cudos to Anniston TOTR for EXCELLENT service!
