Top Notch Burgers

Restaurants | People

Last week we lost yet another one of those things that you just rely on being there: James Stanish passed on. If your had ever eaten there, "Mr. Top Notch" surely either took your order and/or cooked your meal. Everyone seems to mention the Dazed and Confused connection with Top Notch as if that is the defining attribute. It's not. Top Notch has always been a place where you walked in and felt like family. We don't know yet whether they will re-open and try to keep going without James. I hope so but in either case we will have lost a part of our Austin family.

Update: the family has decided to re-open the restaurant and keep going. Give them your support.

Top Notch Restaurant

One of my fav places to eat and to cruise to in the 60's. Me and my friends would cruise from Holiday House North to the south location and then to Top Notch. I think I became a hamburger!
