Hillside Tavern

Hillside Tavern offers a relaxing neighborhood dining experience that’s full of wonderful dining and cocktails specials for their guest daily; starting with fun happy hours, and weekend brunches. The staff guided by the watchful eyes and hands on management style of Melody and Stephanie assures each patron enjoys every minute you’re with them. The generous digital menu offers many culinary and drink options to satisfy a diverse audience, many whom live in the area. The outdoor signage could be better, the placement and illumination, don’t draw the attention the restaurant and patio deserve. Although a casual sports bar vibe is what you’ll experience, I expected more of the restrooms which don’t live up to the ambiance of the main dining and bar areas. You’ll have problem parking because the plaza offers plenty. I hope you have a great time and take advantage of their amazing specials. See you soon! Xoxo Lorenzo!

Went here for the first time. My burger and fries were delish. Was a little pricey though. $30 for just burger and fries - no drink. Atomsphere was nice. Wasn't crowded. Over all great experience.

My family enjoyed our recent experience at Hillside Tavern. They serve pretty standard bar food options with limited options for vegans/vegetarians. You seat yourself which can get hectic when the place gets busy. Overall, the service met expectations and the food tasted good. I view Hillside Tavern as a great place to grab apps/drinks rather than a full meal but, we will go back!

WOW! WOW! WOW! If you live in the area, get in your car, and go to Hillside right now. Food: DELICIOUS, flavorful, fresh, unique takes on classic dishes. - Tate burger was heavenly! - Rueben has a spicy, peppery, and Smokey take - Onion Rings: HUGE. Savory batter with a fresh herb style ranch. - Buffalo wings: Crispy, buttery, balanced, fresh. We will be back! I’m sad it took us so long to stop in, but glad to have another go to.

We just had the most wonderful experience at Hillside Tavern. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was chill enough that we were able to bring our 11-year-old niece to eat with us. The service was top notch. Chad and his team are doing an incredible job and we’ll be back very soon to try out the rest of that awesome menu!

Sitting here enjoying my Old Fashioned and bowl of French Fries watching the world go by on an amazing patio. I couldn't ask for any other way to end my long day of work and some stress, but at Hillside. Came here after passing it for a while on the way to work in Garland. So glad I stopped as from the door to the table to the bar everyone is so nice and boasts a relaxing atmosphere. With blues playing it is so easy to sip and enjoy everything they have to offer. Unfortunately it was a miss for me with the fried bologna sandwich, but the patty melt they brought instead was so amazing! It came on Texas Toast and was stuffed with tons of peppers and onions. Oh so melty, gooey, and good! And my waiter was so nice and kind about everything especially since I was so indecisive in the beginning about my food and drink orders. I definitely would come back for the chill atmosphere and food. Especially the fries that are house made and seasoned with heavenly sprinkles!!

Good entrees, service at lunch was OK not great. Our 2nd time here, prices higher this visit, but seems true almost anyplace you go. You should be able to have lunch for under $40 for 2 people with no alcoholic beverages at a sports bar/grill. BUT good food no matter what!

Originally we wanted to order the steak and they were out by 8pm, which isn’t a huge deal as we were mostly there for drinks. Decided to try the Katsu Chicken Wing special, it was mid at best. The fries were a bit over seasoned and the flavors were just a little off. Lots of garnishes, not enough flavor. Waitress was fast and nice and for that I’ll go with 4 star over a 3 star review.

Love this place. My favorite spot for lunch/dinner, grab a HH beer or meet buddies for a game. Great atmosphere! But the idea that the mortadella roll has any chance to replace the Hillside Grinder, is insanity. I gave it a try bc everything I've ordered here is great. Not terrible, but definitely a 1 and done order. Especially seeing as how it is replacing what I consider one of the best sandwiches on the planet. Let's go back to the drawing board team! Ps: nobody is reading sportscaster subtitles during a football game. All they are is a distraction. Turn those yellow letters off on the main tv!!! See you guys next week! Your loyal friend. Matt B

We were really pleased with how nice everyone was here. The service is amazing. I also really loved the interior as I'm very fond of string lights. Food is great too! Check out my photos!

Hillside Tavern has great food - the wedge salad is insane (maybe the best wedge ever?) and their fries are addicting. Drinks are solid too. Great spot to pop in for a chill dinner or to watch a game. Only complaint about this place is the prices. It's just a little too expensive for a casual dinner and for the type of food they serve. We would come back so much more often if it was more affordable!

With the unexpected beautiful weather in Dallas today, the couch at Hillside Tavern just inside the from the sunny patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine with a friend and celebrate the holidays a little more. Eventually, we ordered lunch. The Tate Farm burger was a winner on a nice gluten free bun. The quality meat cooked up well and was perfectly complimented by the onion jam and aioli. We shared some tater tots that were savory, fresh, and had the great mouth feel that you get with a crisp exterior and soft inside. My friend had the chicken quesadilla and said the tortilla was fresh and perfect with melty, gooey cheese and plenty of chicken. The guacamole and pico de gallo were fresh and tasty. Making the time even more enjoyable was the excellent service. So often, when you go to a restaurant at an off hour like the midafternoon, the rhythm is off and the service suffers. Not so here. The bar tender and busses kept everyone well taken care of with attentiveness without being overbearing. The kitchen was clearly in sync too as our meal was delivered in a timely manner. My only complaint is that I'm a bit limited in what a can order because of my allergies, but if I'm in the mood for a great burger, sandwich, or salad, I'm good to go. I'm pretty sure I'll be back soon.

It was really good and fresh but be prepared for the upscale pricing. Me and my girlfriend went for lunch last Sunday. I had single cheeseburger with fries and she had Caesar salad wrap with no protein and tater tots plus i had one draft beer and she had a glass of white wine and the bill was $72 bf tip. It was tasty but struck me as being very pricey for a lunch menu

Hillside was recommended by a friend. I'm so glad we gave it a try. We had an amazing dinner. The Hillside Wedge is off the charts. I've never experienced a wedge salad that looked so beautiful and tasted so delicious. My friend had the grilled chicken salad which she said was amazing. We shared the garlic wings and the onion rings. Both were very good. My initial thought is that the food is a little pricey, so I hope it's worth it. The taste and presentation matched the cost. They have a great happy hour. We took advantage of the wings on the happy hour menu. Melody provided great service. Looking forward to going back.

My friends recommended this place to grab lunch while we were visiting town for a concert. It's definitely a typical "tavern" vibe, but the food was pretty good as well! I really liked the queso and the Italian grinder sandwich. The server was also pleasant albeit he probably could have been a little more attentive. I don't necessarily see myself coming back here because when I visit Dallas there are just too many options that I haven't tried yet, but I can see how it would be a local hangout for sure.

Good food , great servers and fun Trivia nights. Love the place on Tuesday nights. Ambiance is warm and friendly and bathrooms are clean . Very important.

I felt robbed after leaving this place! I went with my 10yo daughter, and after asking for a kids meal the server suggested a hamburger and fries. We had not idea it was $14.00 just for a burger and no fries. The fries were an additional $6 and were not kid friendly. The server did not give any suggestions or entail on what we were ordering. My salad was okay, but the burger was terrible. I should have gone to Hudson House for these prices, and it would be good all around.

The General manager Stephanie has zero personality. Came in with my kids for a celebration dinner and had the poorest service ever. Not sure if she was on her phone or in the back drinking but she took forever to come ask if we needed anything. She is extremely rude and I will never come back as long as she is working there. There are so many nicer employees who could do a better job. I would fire her. Customer service is everything and she has the worst I have ever seen in a general manager. Not sure how you keep anyone coming back if she waits on them.

This place is a hidden gem. Food, drinks, and ambiance are all in point. This trip we opted for the cobb salad and chicken wings. The cobb salad was well dressed and flavorful. Only this i would do its sear or roast the tomatoes. The wings were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The bar tender Chris was professional and courteous. The drinks made were perfectly crafted and surprisingly inexpensive given today's costs. All under $15 at the time of this review. We will be back to further explore the menu.

Love the salmon salad and they have one of the best margaritas in town! Go there probably once a week.

Worst food. I wasn't expecting this. Over saturated crackers for the dry, maggot looking, pimento cheese. The queso has a sweet taste. Maybe sweet onions? The salsa left a red oil all over the top go bag. I've never seen a red oil from a salsa. And my wedge salad had peanuts, a sweet bacon, with a faint ranch with the blue cheese. Odd combo. Maybe just go for a beer & a game?

I was meeting a friend for brunch down in Dallas, and this is our go to. Easy to be seated, fun atmosphere. Good drinks list. And tasty tasty food. The service was great today, I got some bubbles, and we shared the tuna tartare nachos. We cleaned the plate, such a good mix of sauces. I then had the grinder. It was a super tasty sandwich. Pipes of meat on a super fresh roll. I ate it all!!

This place was packed so me and my guest sat at the bar. Our service was ... awful. The bartender that was waiting on us did none of the waiting. I ended up asking a guy in the back if we could order drinks and an appetizer. Later on in our visit, after making eye contact with the bar tender several times we still couldn't get our dinner orders in. Awful service with so-so food. My guest did say it was the best margarita she's had...

Amazing place that feels like a neighborhood bar except it has great cocktails and even better food. The service is always spot on here and all the food is killer. What chef Josh pushes out of the kitchen is magic. We tried the grinder (best sando I've had in years) and the Nashville hot chicken tenders. Perfect amount of spice and way too much flavor. We also ordered the elote and loaded fries. Both are a must try! They also have a good draft beer selection. Can't wait to come back!

Staff is very pretentious. Food is SALTY, coming from someone who puts salt on everything. I had the chicken Caesar wrap, $18.00 (a spinach tortilla, some lettuce and a chicken thigh that was totally over seasoned and not properly deboned, and I literally choked on the bone) and a 16oz Miller lite, $7. First of all, if you're going to charge me $18 for a "wrap" it needs to be unquestionably good. Second, $7 for a draft domestic beer is a little outrageous. I am grateful actually that the waitstaff wasn't attentive enough to offer a refill. I totally would've taken the bait without thinking to ask pricing. The place is fairly cluttered up with couples in their 50s sipping their overpriced Sauvignon Blanc and looking down their nose at you while doing so. I'm assuming a lot of what's detailed above is by design to keep the riffraff out, or to price certain demographics out of the equation.. Not saying they are racist, but not everyone can afford to go here and have a simple grilled bologna sandwich and a beer. Oh, wait. It's mortadella.... And champagne pricing on Miller Lite -_- So all and all $35.00 with tip for a wrap that I'd rate 3 out of 10 best case, and (should be) Cheap beer that isn't quite cold enough for outrageous prices. I think you guys genuinely suck.

Incredible place, bartenders were very kind and cool but I only have Apple Pay, which they don't take. But the manager let me walk out of the bar without paying anything trusting me. I definitely plan on paying. great beers, good place I will go again.

Their fries are some of the best like, ever. And their menu is really great but you might not be super pumped if you're a vegetarian. There are tons of TVs, both inside and outside and a lot of seating.

The atmosphere is fun and the food is not bad. We went there on trivia night and that was a lot of fun. We had the steak frites and split the entrée. It was perfect for two people that weren't very hungry.

Update: I'll never be back at this establishment based solely on the poor service. My husband, 2 friends, and I went for brunch today. The restaurant wasn't busy whatsoever. Server was extremely slow and didn't refill waters. She also didn't ring in my husbands food and blamed the kitchen saying they overlooked the second burger but it would be out immediately. 20 min later, husband gets up to talk to a manager. The bartender says there MIGHT be a manager there and my husband walks away back to our table. The bartender proceeds to come out and confront my husband saying there was a mix up since ppl at our table were sharing (we weren't sharing). We let him know the server told us a different story. He said his food was fired up as soon as it was noted. A 6oz smash burger doesn't take longer than 20 min to make. His burger came out an hour after we arrived. The bartender said again that he thought the chef and "Allie" were managers and continued arguing with my husband stating that since we are industry he should be more understanding. We are both 20+ year industry veterans and this is not how you handle your mistakes. The food here isn't good enough to carry terrible service. Turns out "Allie" was our server. Never once apologized, still never refilled waters, and didn't take care of the check until we pointed it out. Found this place on accident and surprised I've never noticed it since I go to a nearby restaurant frequently. As soon as my son and I walked up, I loved the laid back vibes. I ordered the espresso martini, which I loved and the doughnut sliders on the brunch menu. Holy heavenly goodness, those were fantastic! My son had the Belgian waffles and those were so hard that they were like eating chips. Our server was great and ended up taking that off even though my son ate all the fruit.

Neat neighborhood pub, great service and laid back atmosphere. Fish and chips are delicious

Great atmosphere and yummy food. Come for trivia and happy hour specials. The service is excellent.

The food was great. Service was quick. Atmosphere was really good. The bar looked well stocked. I will return.

Sitting here enjoying my Old Fashioned and bowl of French Fries watching the world go by on an amazing patio. I couldn't ask for any other way to end my long day of work and some stress, but at Hillside. Came here after passing it for a while on the way to work in Garland. So glad I stopped as from the door to the table to the bar everyone is so nice and boasts a relaxing atmosphere. With blues playing it is so easy to sip and enjoy everything they have to offer. Unfortunately it was a miss for me with the fried bologna sandwich, but the patty melt they brought instead was so amazing! It came on Texas Toast and was stuffed with tons of peppers and onions. Oh so melty, gooey, and good! And my waiter was so nice and kind about everything especially since I was so indecisive in the beginning about my food and drink orders. I definitely would come back for the chill atmosphere and food. Especially the fries that are house made and seasoned with heavenly sprinkles!!

Tranell's service is top tier. The food was definitely the cherry on top. 10/10 recommend

Great food. It would be a +4.0 but, sadly, we have repeatedly experienced it being so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. This seems to happen anytime there is a big game and also on their weekly trivia night. Both would be great if it weren't so loud that we couldn't hear each other.

I met a friend here by just luck of the drawl and, boy, was I glad we did! It was packed full, so we grabbed a seat on one of their many couches. We were greeted instantly by our server who go drinks out quick. They were well made and tasted great. We both ordered food and was it so very tasty! I got a burger that was cooked to perfection with fries I couldn't put down. Over all I have to give this place a 5 star rating and plan to be back!

Took my kids to this place and we ate good. The service was on point, beer was on point, location and vibe was on point. I had a delicious burger, fries, and Onion Rings. I did order my burger well done but it did not come well done so I had to send it back. When I sent it back they made it right and it was all good. Flavorful, juicy, tasty. Fires were on point and Onion rings were huge and delicious. I recommend this place!

The food is good, but VERY expensive for what you get. My sandwich was $18 and I had to pay separately for a side (and all their sides are approx $7-$10 each). I just wasn't expecting that at a local, casual tavern. The service was decent. I did really enjoy the vibes - good "tavern" atmosphere without feeling like a dive bar. I would go back for a drink but probably wouldn't eat there again only because I could get a really nice meal elsewhere for $30 a plate.

Hillside Tavern is a great vibe with equally delicious food. We split the burger and cheese fries and were stuffed. The burger is massive and the cheese fries were huge. I loved that they had Salty Lady on tap. There are large TVs making any seat in the house great for watching games. The manager did note that the only time they play sound for the games is during regular season games. The rest of the time they play trendy/relevant music. It is pricier than you would expect traditional tavern/bar food but I think it was worth every penny.

After months of drooling as this place was installed slowly inside this strip mall, it opened and we went! We delayed our hunger for a few days for the kinks to get worked out. There is a lot of parking, but there are some other popular venues, so be prepared to walk a short distance! As we climbed up the steps, we opted to dine inside instead of on the porch as I wanted to see in! (Not much of a view on the porch.) Once inside, there is a bar to the right, lots of tables and conversation pits surrounded by couches. We found the last open table for two towards the back. The tables are small and more for drinks than large meals. You'll get to know those on the tables near you! The AMI internet connected jukebox had a sign and said it wasn't ready, but they did have some decent music playing in the background. Lots of TVs with multiple sporting events to go along with nice decor. Even a couple of hunting trophies on the walls! The service was OUTSTANDING! Very attentive and very helpful. The menu is full of great sounding items! We started with a couple of beers. A Blue Moon (that was barely cool in temperature) and a can of Michelob Ultra. I do not like drinking out of a can as I taste the aluminum and think it flavors the beer as well. There are places for canned beer and a "not cheap" pub is not that place. I was eventually offered a cold glass. I switched to iced tea and my date had another nearly cold Blue Moon. We ordered a 3 Cheese Pimento Cheese Dip to begin. Not a lot of dip, lots of seasoned crackers and lots of delicious pickles! It was the best item we would order! The dip was really good but the consistency made it tough to stick on crackers. I ordered the patty melt with a salad and my date ordered the Muffaletta with onion rings. The Muffaletta could have used more olive salad/Tapenade. It was decent, but not full of flavor. The rings were plentiful but nothing special as the dark golden batter was somewhat bland. They were somewhat greasy and I was not fond of the oil's flavor. The salad was full of colorful spring mix. Very stem filled and I definitely got my fiber! Patty melt looked wonderful! The patty was small and almost lost in the golden toasted bread. The toasted bread was very moist/greasy (too much butter/margarine/beef fat?) and the cheese was outstanding! The flavor was good but way too much pepperoncini! We ordered a bread pudding to go. It was the worst bread pudding ever. A small expensive hard crusty slice with a berry sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The berry sauce was okay and the ice cream was pretty good. Somewhat expensive and not sure if we will go back. Maybe it was the newness, but this is from a restaurant group that has some other highly rated establishments that should expect better.

Staff is great.... food is good, great for a laid back time. Staff remembers you and we all love that! Love the location and it's really for locals!

The service is always bad here. It's disappointing because they're walking distance from the house and we love supporting local businesses. We came in on a Sunday to find that their patio has been enclosed in shade cloth and has about a dozed TVs playing the sports ball. So now they're going for the crappy sports bar vibe like I dunno, every other place in Dallas. Anyway we waited on the patio (sign says seat yourself) for probably 15 minutes and I haven't seen any other table get service while we're there. Then the 4 top that came in right before us gets tired of waiting and leaves. Finally someone ambles out and tells us the kitchen closed at 8, but we could order drinks. The only time I've ever heard of a kitchen closing early is when a place is open really late, but 8 o'clock? Never. Whatever. Plenty of other places to go with a sports bar vibe and bad service.

Steak frites was very good. I usually don't like fries but the seasoning was so tasty I finished them. Check out the daily specials.

Been coming here since they opened several years ago. Great neighborhood spot. Food is a little on the pricey side for it being more on the line of casual dining, but that being said it's top notch. My only annoyance is that post covid you never really know their operations-what time they open/close, if they have happy hour or not. Not always worth driving over to see that they are closed that Sunday.

Zero service. We had a group of 4 & all agreed if there's consistently not enough attentive waitstaff, then pivot to mobile/table ordering It's too bad because the food is actually pretty good if you get the chance to actually order something (although the salsa can use some tweaking). We noticed there was one person walking around taking orders so to make the rest of the night easier on everyone, we decided to order two bottles of wine so we could help by serving ourselves for the rest of the night and it took 20+ minutes waiting for that before we had to finally walk up to the bar & ask for it ourselves along with table waters that we also never received. Waitress still didn't actually bring anything- the bartender filled in. Checked on us probably once every 30-45 minutes which is not what you're looking for at a bar - we would have ordered much more but didn't trust it anymore so finally walked over and asked for the check so we could find a new spot to go for dinner. We were understanding and nice - would have been 100% more understanding on top of that if staff had stayed "hey, we're short staffed tonight so if I don't see you please flag me down" but it seemed biz as usual / apathetic

This was our second experience at Hillside, and it was not good. This review is 80% based on the fish and chips ($13.50) order that Jamie and I shared for a quick bite tonight (about 7:30pm on Wed, 9/25). The place was busy when we got there, with two tables open inside and about half the patio occupied- business is still good here. Now, about the fish and chips: - #1, first and foremost, do not order this here, ever - #2, crispy batter out-volumes the fish by a factor of 2-3, disappointing and borderline criminal for a premium priced bar entree - #3, the oil used to fry the fish in was dirty and rancid, and should have been changed last night, if not earlier - #4, fries were fresh and crispy, but tragically grossly oversalted. - #5, jalapeno tartar sauce was fresh and creamy, with no signs of jalapeno whatsoever Based on our experience tonight, I fear that a cost accounting mentality has taken over here, sacrificing quality and quantity for the sheer capitalistic goal of maximizing profits. It is possible (but highly doubtful) that we just ordered the wrong dish at the wrong time, tonight, so with that I offer a small crease of a potential "excuse" for this very popular, relatively highly rated establishment. Next time (later vs sooner, based on tonight), we will stick with known and proven entrees of chicken lettuce wraps and a double cheeseburger. If you want fish and chips, go somewhere else like Old Monk, who serves a good quality, good value local option for this gastropub cornerstone dish.

Place like no other, amazing food, great drinks, and service on point, simply put...excellent restaurant

Saw the Tate burger was rated one of the best 15 burgers in Dallas so we tried it 2 weeks ago - fantastic tender, juicy fabulous -even without the bun, I am gluten free). Expensive for just a burger but worth it. We were craving it again - but tonight - 1 star is generous. Both times we got the burgers to go. Tonight the meat was tough (and it was very under cooked) and sadly they forgot to include the garlic aioli (critical to the flavor!) Not sure what was up with the fries either - they were over seasoned (there was so much in the bottom of the container - and who puts sugar on French fries? We may try it again - but it won't be for a very long while. If it's better I'll update this review.

Where to start. The service is always great, the ambiance is perfect, the drinks are amazing! The fish n chips - best I've had. Onion rings are bigger than ya face. All the sandwiches are . The fries I don't even know what they season them with but you can't stop eating them. Not a bad thing on the menu. Perfect local neighborhood spot

Have you ever needed a map to find a location, this was one of that spot. It took about 4-6 minutes to find this location, and the font/sign did not help as much in showing the location. This place is at the end of the corner by a breakfast place. We came right when the place opened in which we were not aware of the fact that we had to wait for the kitchen to open. We waited 45 minutes in which we did get excellent service. My friend and I were able to talk and catch up despite being a bit hangry. The place felt very cozy and modern enough to feel like a dive bar/pub. I personally would not mind bringing a larger group for hangouts. So the mini issue was the food that we ordered. I do wish to state that the food was amazing and served with a style which you will see in the pictures. My issue was that I asked for bacon and no onions. They forgot the bacon which I had to wait for bacon in a mini container separately for about 5 minutes and then it did have mini cut onion. The onion did not bother me as much since it was not like they threw a whole onion on it, but waiting on the bacon as my friend ate her Patty Melt was a bit disappointing. None the less the food tasted well. My double-patty cheeseburger was on the heavy side, but that is exactly what I wished for. The patty melt, on the other hand, needs its own personal attention. I could not understand what I was going through when I even ate it. The audacity of the chef/cookers to make such perfect patty melt. This is possibly the best Patty Melt I have ever tasted, and the fact that it was light on the stomach made me want just to buy the Patty Melt once more. Whatever sauce and however they made that bread crispy and yet soft with flavor is surprisingly a genius in my sight. Please try the patty melt; you will not be disappointed. Aside from the burger issue, I believe the service is amazing, and the food is near great. The prices, however, can be fixed since other spots offer just as much plus more. Overall, I can appreciate what is being offered!

Went out for a birthday celebration, and wanted the best burger in town...this is not the place. Truthfully, the appetizers are pretty good. Good queso, onion rings were crispy and the cauliflower was decent. The burgers? Eh. Tate Burger? The award winner? Under seasoned, sloppily constructed. Very sweet "confit". Disappointing. Tried the special Utah burger, the chalk board did not mention onions, I specifically said no onions and was assured that it did not come with onions. Guess what, it did. Instead of an apology from the waiter I was told that it must have been in the remoulade. What appeared to be 3 tablespoons of chopped white onions on top of the sauce. Also had two salmon dishes with overcooked salmon and bad rice. So, the food is not good, the service is worse. Arrived at 5 pm took our drink orders at 5:15, they arrived at 5:30. Next time we saw our waiter (5:45) we ordered apps. 6:15 we finally ordered our meals which were either overcooked or not prepared as we requested. But it did seem like the wait staff test tasted lots of drinks. Pass

Really yummy food! Great wedge salad & wings! Will definitely be back & super cute inside.

The place was hopping with "new restaurant" buzz. I mean, that photo of the patty melt posted by the Observer made me need to go there. I may have licked my monitor a few times. The patty melt is good. I'm still undecided about the prevalent mustard flavor. Lots of pickley pepper too. Someone at our table nailed it--there's a lot of flavors going on here. Loved all the cheeses. I had a non-stop gooey string of cheese from my chin to the plate. We also had the Honky Tonk Fries which have cheese and sausage gravy and a fried egg. Those were delicious. There's a sweet taste going on that none of use could really figure out, we think it's in the gravy. Place is small, so get there early for a table. We arrived before 6 and had our choice of 3 tables. Service is good. Plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall. Inside is decorated super cute. They are going to have outdoor seating soon, which is nice. But really, the view is of Mockingbird Lane traffic. It will be nice to enjoy the weather, but sad on a view and ambient noise.

My family recently ate at Hillside Tavern and, overall, we enjoyed our experience. They offer fairly standard bar food options but, as expected, limited vegetarian options. You seat yourself and, because of the smaller space, it gets busy/crowded fast which can make finding a table a bit hectic. We needed to ask several times for a to-go box at the end of our meal but, overall the staff did a good job checking in on our table and making sure we got what we ordered. The food tasted great and we appreciated the recommendations from our server. I can see why it's a popular spot in the neighborhood! I recommend Hillside Tavern as a place to grab drinks/apps or a quick bite to eat. Ultimately, we will go back.

Don't waste your time. My husband and went in last night and sat at the bar. Never even got acknowledged one you g man working. He was too busy engaged with 2 customers and on his phone to wait on anyone. Piss poor service. Rude. Word to the wise. Do better. Hire better Never will return. When we left we told the hostess thanks for a great experience. She goes oh Thank you. Totally clueless like your staff. Pathetic Great food We will never know since we never had a chance to due to your staff. Stephanie S.

Love this spot! Just opened great staff. Started with Chips and Queso Blanco with my Knob Creek Great vibe. Excellent location with plenty of parking Excellent onion ring. Meal in them selves!

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Perfect weeknight spot tucked in the corner, everything is awesome.
