    Attached a receipt on this review.!! Last place you can get a serious meal at a good price. Hope this place finds a new location soon before they lose their lease.

    Noooooooo! Tip Top Meats has lost their lease. It's over September 30. They say they're looking to relocate and it isn't 'over'. I'll hope for the best, but I'll make some extra trips to Carlsbad to enjoy their extra-generous breakfast deals before then. Best deal going today: $5 Brat & Beer - a single brat with a toasted roll and a pickle, plus a beer. The beer alone is close to $5.

    This food was just as good as it always was. I got the jagerschnitzel, which was really good. The potato salad tasted differently than in the past, which wasn't as good as I remember it. Maybe too much vinegar? I felt the waitstaff this time around was more rude than in the past to the customers. I also learned that they will be closing their doors come the end of September, which is a huge disappointment as I really love the food here and shop at the market for high quality meats. I do hope they consider reopening at a different location.

    I have very little experience with German food, but this stuff was good and the prices were better. They have tons of sandwich options, steaks and meat. It's in the back of a German grocery store that is also very well stocked with meat if you want to cook at home. Every meat entree comes with a roll, soup or salad, sauerkraut and or red cabbage, and a potato dish. All of that for an average of $12 is crazy. You will have two meals worth of food here. Now to be honest it's not anything life changing in terms of innovation or flavor. But if you want a huge meal after the beach or shopping at the outlets, this place is it. This place has been here for many generations, family owned. The unfortunate part is that they're closing September 30th because their lease is up and won't renew there. They're not sure if they'll try to move somewhere else, but if they do, I'll try to follow.
