4Top Hospitality

4Top Hospitality Group is a multi-concept independent restaurant group with 16 locations across the Southeast. Through partnerships with some of the region’s most dynamic chefs and entrepreneurs, 4Top has grown over 300% over the last few years. Our group’s establishments range from casual neighborhood Italian restaurants to upscale steakhouses to chef-driven hot spots to an award-winning seafood restaurant. The broad set of tastes and business acumen from the restaurant group has led to success in multiple markets with a diverse guest base. The primary partners of 4Top Hospitality are Doug Hogrefe, Paul Schramkowski, David Conn, and Ben Brock. The group formed in 2009, when they acquired the Amerigo and Char concepts. Having previously worked at those restaurants in almost every capacity before taking them over, the four partners now have over 90 years of experience with Amerigo and Char alone. While continuing to grow these concepts in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama, 4Top has expanded their footprint in Jackson, MS to seafood restaurant Saltine, showcased on Bon Appetit’s list of Top 50 Best New Restaurants. In Nashville, we’ve added etch and etc., fine dining restaurants from renowned, award-winning chef Deb Paquette, as well as Jasper’s, a casual eatery & market. Our group expanded to Huntsville, AL, in 2019.
