I wanted to try out this restaurant because I saw them on Worth it! I never had roast beef before so I wanted to check it out for myself. It does have a small parking lot but I took transportation, you can take the Metro 28 from DTLA. Customer service is excellent and nicely took my order. I had the roast beef with cheese and it was delicious. It was juicy and sweet and of course the curly fries were hot and had that crunchiness. I'll definitely come back to try other food items.
I was driving down Olympic Boulevard and felt myself getting hungry. Just then Top Round appeared and I pulled in the parking lot. From the outside it looks unassuming, but don’t be fooled, magic is hiding inside.
I ordered a Beef&Cheese , Curly Fries , a Vanilla Milkshake and Ranch/ Chipotle Mayo.
Let me Start with the Sandwich: Its like you’re biting into the breast of an angel. The bread is soft but not mushy. The Cheese is light but very flavourful. And, the king of it all, The roast beef is delicate and so soft. It tastes and feels like high quality short rib. The BBQ sauce is spot on as well - not overpowering the other flavours but doing its own thing and doing it well.
The Fries: Who knew Fries can be light and make you not feel like a 4 day old bag of garbage after? I didnt, until I ate these fries. The Ranch works really well with them as well as the spicy mayo (WHICH IS ACTUALLY SPICY! how refreshing!!)
The shake was really solid as well and
Staff was friendly.
I will 100% be coming back here the next time i’m in LA. Yes , its that good.
Their Tag line is Chef driven Fast Food, and I can tell ‘ya , they ain’t lyin’
Walked to a park to eat so about 10ish minute walk. I got the Horse and Hole which I really enjoyed! Roast beef was excellent and warning, only get it if you like horseradish cause that was a strong and dominant flavor! Hubs got the Buffalo Chicken which was not too bad but unfortunately, very soggy by the time we were able to eat it.
For sides, we got tater tots (delicious!) and Dirty Fries (meh, should've gotten the curly).
Loved their ice creams! We got Cookies & Cream Concrete and a Strawberry Shake - both were so yummy!
Pricey for what it is, but quite work the try!

Forget Arby’s. Do yourself a favor and never eat there again, but instead always go to Top Round. Make sure to get a version of the beef sandwich with horseradish as it’s just spectacular! They’ve got outdoor and indoor seating with the outdoor seating available during the pandemic so you don’t have to eat in your car. Food comes up fairly quickly even though it’s made to order and the milkshakes are good too although I did 4 stars because I don’t think the ice cream in the milkshake is custard as claimed and the sandwiches are a bit on the small side for the price charged. Otherwise excellent experience and we will be back many times!
I enjoy the Top Round Roast Beef’s Sandwich. I ordered The Beef on Wreck take out and it is really good. And I also enjoy the Curly Fries!! So I heard about this restaurant from the YouTube channel BuzzFeed Worth It. Because I heard they tried the Best Fries for a Cheap Price. You can try which Beef Sandwich look good for you. So I would definitely come back here to try a different Sandwich from their menu.
Fast food roast beef sandwiches and frozen custard. Came here for dinner before catching a show at the El Rey with the sis around 8:30, and there was still a short line. There’s outdoor and indoor seating, and you can order all your food either inside or outside (ignore the sign that says to only order fries and sandwiches that’s above the outside window). Parking is available in their private lot, but it’s small and spaces are pretty tight.
The food was tasty, albeit smaller than expected. The beef and cheese sandwich was filling, and I especially enjoyed the spongey buns. The beef was tender enough, and I don’t want to know what’s in the cheese whiz, but it was good. The dirty fries came in a curly cut, and had sweet, caramelized onions, beef chunks, and gravy on top. We got a concrete to top off the meal, and the food came within 5 minutes. They have water cups and a fountain drink dispenser inside. For your knowledge, a concrete has all the ingredients mixed in while the sundae only has them in top. They have standard combinations or you can mix your own, up to 4. Unfortunately they were out of hot fudge and don’t have a coffee flavor, but it was still good. It wasn’t as thick as I thought it would be, but there’s no emulsifiers or preservatives so it does taste homemade. The brownies we added in were really chewy and sweet, and we also tossed in graham crackers and Oreos into a vanilla concrete. Didn’t see any bathrooms, there’s no free WiFi, they do take credit card, and you can order to-go or eat-in and they’ll call your name on the intercom system.

Very friendly & attentive customer service. I ordered the roast beef with horseshire DELICIOUS! & an ice cream. & they asked me when I ordered & when they gave me the sandwich if I wanted my ice cream later. Now, that's attention to detail that make a good experience GREAT!
LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Arby's is a childhood classic of mine and this is a delicious elevated version that is worth the price!!!
I HIGHLY recommend the Beef on Wreck add Wiz
Top round means top quality in every item they sell. Small menu with items that are relative to their main product which is their roast beef. I will try the chicken next time as it is marinated in brine and buttermilk with pickle juice.
Excellent! Fast courtliest service, clean areas to sit and most of all it’s so damn good!!! So good I forgot to snap pictures of the meals. 😜 if I could give higher stars I would.
Very sad to see them temporarily closed down as I loved my first ever OG Top Round roast beef sandwich and curly fries.
I don't remember what they're called but their version of The Loaded french fries are amazing. I would go back just for those. The roast beef? It's okay. It's certainly better than Arby's, but that's just it it's a better Arby's sandwich. Go for the fries.
If You're Expecting Arby's or even Arby's prices don't come here. This is really good food with real roast beef that's not pressed or processed. It's not an expensive with tip a roast beef sandwich with mushrooms, curly fries and a soda ended up costing close to $18. But I've got to say it was worth every penny. They have vegetarian options and salad options and it's a fun atmosphere because you're sitting on one of the major intersections of Los Angeles and it's great to sit in there indoor or outdoor area. I highly recommend it.
The most juicy delicious roast beef sandwich I’ve ever had at a fast food place. Something special is going on here! House made fries, seasoning, insane combos for frozen custard. Unbeatable! Move over “other” spots. We don’t even talk about them anymore. We’ve got Top Round!
I had the Horse and Hole and Black n Blue. Each different but really delicious tasting high quality roast beef sandwiches. Some of the best around. Had the Kale slaw, too. Very tasty little salad. Definitely will come back for more. Drove past here so many times in the past 6 years and never stopped. So glad I thought of it tonight.
I need to try the food but the custard is amazing. Not too sweet, creamy and silky smooth. It's about the cost of the hip soft serve and ice cream shops. Definitely give it a try!
