"Hillstone in Upper Kirby falls somewhere on the restaurant spectrum between an upper-crust steakhouse and a fast-casual American mega-chain. The menu rarely changes, the food always arrives fast, and everything tastes exactly the same every single time. The cheeseburger is one of Hillstone’s best old reliables—whether you’re dining solo at the bar or out with your parents. The thick, cheese-encased patty arrives loaded so high with toppings you might need to make a few calculations before attempting the first bite. Crush one, along with the seasoned fries, alongside a house martini or two." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
