Hillside Restaurant Downtown - DeKalb

I called ahead to inquire about this restaurant's hours. The young lady whom answered the phone informed me that they would be open until 8pm today. I replied I will see you shortly. However, when I arrived to the restaurant and proceeded to walk in witha party of 4. I was told that they reopen at 4pm. I was not given any of this information over the phone. This was my 1stexperience with Hillside Restaurant. I was unable to give this restaurant a try.

Every single time I order they miss one of my items. This time it was the apple pie. This is my last time trying to support and then the customer service sucks. If I ordered my food online why would I want to come in and get the ONE item you could?ve putin the bag and it?s Food! it?s not like it?s forks or spoons?? you have it CLEARLY written. I?m done with this place

This is a nice, retro, family restaurant. The food is clearly mostly homemade instead of just trucked in pre-prepared and reheated. The chicken parmigiana was much better than I expected. I normally don?t like meat spaghetti sauce, but there?s washearty and had a good beef flavor to it. Large portions. We also had friendly service. Check it out.

I love this place. It's the quintessential small town restaurant. Super friendly. Great, home cooked meal. It's our got-to place for special occasions -graduations, family visiting, etc. Don't go to Chili's (ours is gross anyway). Support a fantastic localbusiness!!

Just got back from Friday dinner out at Hillside. We got 2 entrees that came with a side of soup or salad and 4 pieces of bread with some butter. We also took home an apple crunch pie. my husband giving this restaurant 2.5 stars and I?m giving it a solid3-3.5. The food came out quick and there was no wait to get seated. Also, our meals were decent size portions, I could onlyfinish like a 1/3 of a meal. Flavor wise my pasta needed more salt, my chicken was chewy but the breading was good and meatsauce was on point. The best part was butternut squash bisque soup. It tasted homemade and was well seasoned. My husbandordered Friday special fish fry and I personally liked his fish more than him. The big piece of fish tasted great super juicy but the smaller pieces were somewhat overcooked. His meal came with a side of standard frozen crinkle cut fries and some sauté veggies. Veggies had a nice taste. I liked his salad but he wasn?t impressed as it tasted like a bagged salad. Oh well,it was still fresh and crispy. Now, I was super excited for this apple crisp pie and I am not a fan of it. I like my applescooked before they are put in a pie and I wish I knew besides classic cinnamon and nutmeg there is clove in this pie. Too bad webought the whole thing. I think I?ll try to cook it for a little longer to see if I can soften the apples. The interior of theplace is on the darker side. I liked the style of it but it could use some update. Also we were the youngest customersthere. Overall I?m glad we went because we always park across the street and pass this place so it was a time to give it atry. Paid $65 for all tips
