Topsy's Corn Fritters

This goes back a REALLY long time, but there used to be a restaurant called Topsy's on Queens Blvd in Forest Hills that made the best corn fritters I've ever had.
It closed decades ago, but I can still remember exactly how they tasted- does anyone else know of these, and (wishful thinking) where you can get something like them now?

I don't know why I was thinking of Topsy's. But those corn fritters were the best. I think what made them great was the gravy they were served with. Never have been able to find anything like them. Oh, and the chicken was excellent too.

Try Seba Seba (acronym for "Serving Everything Baked Appetizing"), a Colombian bakery at 83-03 Northern Blvd. Ask for a torta de chocolo. You'll be happy.

Topsy's was a fantastic restaurant...it was really special dining...I remember it from the mid 1950's...and yes, the staff was black...guess it was a recreation of the old south...you used your best manners there!

I used to take a cit bus from The Bronx to Forest Hills with my parents to go to Topsy's. I thought they has the best fried chick in the world. If you remember all the staff working there were black. It was an amazing place.

I also remember Topsy's on Queens Blvd Forest Hills,my parents would stop with me on the way home from the theatre and I would order creamed chicken on toast,yum. Later when my future husband and I were dating we would dine here and have fried chicken etc. He liked their ham steak. I still have a souvenir made from a black baby nipple dressed in red and white mammy outfit. Remember the wooden settle benches and dripping candles? Ah for the good old days.

When Topsy's closed, Leroy (the owner?) opened a take-out place on Austin Street, and I worked there for a while. Yes, the best fried chicken and corn fritters in the world. - Mark

Sorry, correction.
Leroy's chicken take out place was on Queens Blvd., across from where Topsy's was located.
I worked at another place (a few years later) that was on Austin Street.

Rejoice. The best corn fritters I know are not far away from there.
