Tops American Grill, Bakery & Bar

About

Tops American Grill, Bakery & Bar is a family-owned diner and restaurant at 351 Duanesburg Road in Rotterdam, run by a third-generation owner. The owner’s great-uncle bought the original rail car diner at Five Corners in 1953, uncle Peter Christou replaced it with a modular diner in the mid-1960s, and the family has rebuilt and expanded since.

The menu covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks, all homemade from fresh ingredients, and an in-house pastry chef makes every dessert, pastry and many of the breads from scratch. Online ordering is available.
