The cuisine here is classic American comfort with a refined touch, featuring an ever-changing array of daily specials that keep every visit fresh and exciting. From the rich, caramelized depths of the Baked French Onion Soup to the tangy heat of Boneless Buffalo Chicken Tenders served with crisp celery and cooling bleu cheese, every appetizer invites you to savor bold, balanced flavors.

Love the food, the price and that you are helping students in the culinary field! Short window for it being open, but it works out just fine if you make a reservation and plan ahead.

Reservation only, everything I believe is prepared and served by the students . The prices were so low , and the food was very decent. They also had a great selection of food and big portions. The deserts were also huge. They do accept tips to help with training and field trips . Support the locals and the future work force . I will definitely go back

The Baked Stuffed Haddock Newburg was absolutely delicious! Generous portions of haddock along with tasty rice pilaf and seasoned vegetables are nicely paired as an accompaniment. The key lime pie was very fresh and tasted divine! I ordered chicken fingers and fries to bring home which were the best and most freshest chicken tenders and perfectly seasoned fries I had ever eaten! The service was very pleasant and I applaud all the students’ efforts and hard work to make this dining experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be dining at The Hilltop again!

I’ve been going 3/4 times a week since February 2020. The food is amazing & the portions are HUGE. I’ve tried everything from whole belly clams to Prime Rib to Veal Parmigiana. The rolls are a favorite as well. & don’t even get me started on the deserts. From whole cakes & pies to cupcakes & mouse. Delicious. The staff is amazing. I am so glad I listened to Barbara Houle
