great food, beautiful setting. best fried chicken & rolls i've ever had. lots offoodfor the money. good place to go with a large group as everything is served family style.

family reunion. we were camping at mccormick's creek and decided to make it to hilltop with my sisters who i only get to see every 3 years. we got the absolute best service and all thefoodwas wonderful!! we will definately be back in 3 years for our next reunion so don't go anywhere!! the bbq ribs were fall off the bone and the ribeye tasted like steaks used to taste with great flavor. we sampled all the desserts. the blackberry cobbler ala mode was my favorite!, wonderful experience and we highly recommend.

great food, great service. we went there on father's day 2014 without making reservations (it was between lunch & dinner about 3pm) with a group of 15. with what i'm sure was a big crowd for lunch they were welcoming, thefoodwas great & service the best. even tho because it was a holiday & you could not order off the normal menu they offered a variety of main courses & the family style sides were the best, they even accommodated a few of us that had special request. will go back again and again. oh, the only thing that is missing is more than a one toilet restroom. for as large as the place is on special occasions w/large crowds it is inconvenient to wait so long.

great visit!. i admit, i was leary about what to expect...i read over several reviews posted....
we went to hilltop to celebrate my grandmothers 90 birthday. we had a large party and made a reservation. loved the house salad with their dressing made in house. i added the garlic salt per the waitress suggestion....oh my! the dinner rolls, i loved. i sampled the orange marmalade however, i wasn't a fan. i even sampled a beet.
the service was top notch, good clean premises and large portions. i ordered the fried chicken, white meat. other dinners ordered were jumbo shrimp, catfish and chicken strips. everyone that went stated theirfoodwas yummy. we were offered refills on the salad, mash taters, green beans and corn. brought my leftovers home to enjoy for lunch tomorrow.
we all will return in the future.
if you leave this restaurant hungry, it's your own fault.

the new owners are great! the old owners were so rude to people and the only reason i came back was because of the new ownership. thefoodis 10x better. homemade rolls are to die for and their fried chicken was delicious. their location is beautiful. i highly recommend hilltop!

we haven't been there in years, but after reading in the ht, that dennis and chris grubb purchased it this past may, my wife and i decides to check it out. we were not disappointed! great atmosphere and food. thefoodis made from scratch and it shows. they have outdoor seating that overlooks beautiful scenery. it's definitely a good place to eat and worth the trip.

this changing w/new owners. we have lived in owen county all our lives and the hilltop restaurant was always an attraction but recently since there have been new owners take over it is a little disturbing. we had to wait on the hostess to actually seat us and then she did not give out any menues for at least 20 minutes and when the waitress came to our table, she then noticed that the hostess did not do her job but tried to blame it on the waitress. it took forever to get ourfoodand if we asked for 2nds on vegies or rolls, we barely got any. you could hear alot of yelling in the kitchen and it was very uncomfotable. again, back to the hostess, when we were leaving, we stood in line for another 15 minutes waiting for her to come and check us out at the register when all she was doing was walking around the dining room. unless things change, will not return.

we always leave full after dining at the hilltop. though thefoodis abit outdated and random (beets, tomato juice, orange jelly) it works. family style with good service.
