The Hillside Gastro Pub

I really want to like this place as they have great live music, but every visit is a struggle to get service! And this weekend 3 of 5 friend got sick after just drinking draft beer! We all said "it doesn't taste right" so maybe it's time to clean the taps or something. Great memories from the Dante's years, but needs some sprucing up!

I will say my husband and I only went for a drink on the deck. I sat down and asked the bartender to make me a sweet drink. The drink she brought me was really good. What was not really good was the price. They charged us $9.50 for that damn drink. How the hell can they justify charging that much? The guy sitting next to me was complaining about the drink prices too. He said when happy hour was over, Bud Light bottles go up to $4.25. The bartender had a bad attitude also. I won't ever go back there but I'm sure they will end up going out of business anyway.

This is an unusual type of place. It attracts a much older crowd. Saturday nights always feature live music that is usually quite good. The retirees bring their fans to cool off after cutting up on the dance floor. The drinks are good and there is a full bar. I don't recommend ladies come alone unless you want to fight off admirers.

Zero stars for Poppys. Save your time and money. Eat somewhere else.Overpriced, zero training, poor quality food.Feel bad for servers. They give their best effort, and due to every other aspect of Poppy's, they likely can't make much money.Now if you go next door to Zakura's, they get it right every time. Same owners I believe so odd that one can be so good, and one so bad.

I typically agree with the masses when browsing through Yelp for places to frequent. I'm not sure why older reviews are still on here from prior to this being the Hillside Gastropub. I certainly don't agree that this place is less than average. I've been here 3 times in the last 4 months and each time I felt the food was good, the beer was cold, and the service was great. Once we sat at the outside bar, once inside, and once out on the patio with live music. The food is good. Sure there could be more variety, but I'd rather have a limited menu that is executed properly than 40 options and none of them that great. My favorite food here are the burgers by far. The Pacific and the all American are my go to choices. The fries that accompany the burgers are plentiful. Give this place a shot. Sunset in the summer are great on the patio!

I wish I could give 0 stars. We went there last night because our favorite place was too crowded. Huge mistake. My stomach is still upset. We got the black bean nachos and fish sandwich. The nachos were dripping with that nasty canned orange cheese sauce that you get in a bowling alley. The fish was overcooked and served on a hamburger bun that was slathered with foul tasting margarine. The fries were underdone and rubbery. Gastropub? Really?

So we came in to hear Danny Frazier play. Always a treat. We ordered food and it was a little slow but it appears they don't don't get many orders close to when the kitchen closes. Skins were good but too much potato for my taste. Girlfriend liked them lots though. I got the Hawaiian burger and fries. Fries could have gotten to me hotter but they were hot enough and very good. Burger was excellent but they could have cut out the dang pineapple core! Other then that it was great. Drinks are honest you can dance to the band and they all were. By the way it is called the hilltop gastro pub for like several years now.

I went and ordered a burger with blue cheese and carmalized onions temped to medium. When the food came out the burger was overcooked had no seasoning or flavor the onions were burnt darker than the actual burger. Luckily I was extremely hungry, but I ate my food and left with 0 intentions of going back. Extremely disappointed and would never suggest to anyone. A $9 burger should have some kind of flavor. The pickle was the highlight of the meal.

Nice enough place with a decent beer selection and good service. Definitely an older crowd, but pretty chill environment even on a Saturday. Good prices and good food!

Only giving a star because zero is not an option. 45 minutes no service. I spoke to the manager and he much blew me off.
