What Jana Jaeger doesn't like about Hillside Restaurant Downtown:
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.

The hidden jewel of DeKalb! Look at this place! I can't wait to eat lunch with my family in a few weeks.

My favorite place to get breakfast from in the Dekalb area! Lunch and dinner are excellent too.

Great place for breakfast. I love their biscuits and gravy!

Located in a quaint small town, Hillside Restaurant offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with a menu full of homemade dishes. With generous portion sizes and friendly service, this family-owned restaurant provides a meal that feels like home. Specialties like the Butternut Squash Soup and Heather's Lemon Moroccan Chicken receive high praise from customers. The Friday special fish fry is a hit, although some dishes, like the apple crisp pie, may not suit everyone's taste. Despite some hiccups with orders and service, Hillside Restaurant leaves a lasting impression on diners, making it a great spot for any occasion. A visit to this charming establishment is sure to delight with its delightful dishes and warm hospitality.

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....

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 m...
