Reviews Summary
Hilltop Cafe receives mixed reviews, with many praising its delicious pizza, wings, and friendly bartenders, creating a great local pub atmosphere. However, some diners have experienced slow service, inconsistent food quality (especially with salads and burgers), and surprisingly high drink prices. It's a place with strong highlights but also areas for improvement in consistency.
"I’m a long time patron of this business. Tonight I had to leave a review. My pizza onion & soupy and Buffalo wings could not have been better l. I understand this is not a complicated dinner. However when I’ve ordered the same elsewhere usually the pizza is undercooked and wings have also been subpar. Not tonight! Everything is perfect. The only way it could be improved is if I could’ve eaten it at the bar. Two young kids make that tough. Thanks Pod for great pizza & wings!"

"Had a large pizza, tossed salad, and a caesar salad.
Took 40 mins for the order. (Takeout)
Pizza is 10/10, totally recommend it.
Both salads were awful. Lettuce was wilted and soggy. Forgot dressing for tossed salad. No croutons on caesar.
$50 for a pizza and two small salads is unreasonable though."

"Waited 10-25 min for the waiter to take our orders, then 30+ mins for sandwiches, finally got the food when my friend went up to ask the waiter. The bread was soggy on one side and the meat didn't taste seasoned at all, if it was busy I would've understood but there was only 3 other tables. 2 groups were at the bar and it seemed like the waiter was more focused there. There was also no drink menu but we both got sodas and it came in small plastic cups that weren't even filled fully, when we got the receipt it was $3.50 each which I think is ridiculous since it was not only small but tasted like there was water in it and I never got asked if I wanted any refills. The waiter never came to check up on us once while we were eating and half way through eating our cups were empty. And I also think y'all should clean the bathrooms cuz when I was washing my hand there were pieces of black slimy things that just slipped out from behind the faucet and into the sink... And when we got the check we asked for seperate checks but the waiter was like 'well it's basically the total divided by two...' ok well I only had cash my friend only had card I don't understand why a restaurant would not be able to get seperate checks but whatever we won't come back again. This is literally my first time giving a bad review I would give 1 star but the waiter was ok the other times I guess and the fries were ok but not seasoned at all I had to sprinkle salt on it myself"
