The Hilltop

What a treasure Hilltop has in Blake! He is a gem of a person! Always friendly, always smiling, and always cheerful. We eat at Hilltop fairly often and enjoy the awesome customer service and staff. Hilltop is always a place we count on for a great meal and friendly service. Tonight, my daughter lost her airpods at dinner. We drove home to Mntka without realizing it. Once we did, we pinged the location back to Hilltop. Immediately, we called Hilltop and Blake answered. He stopped what he was doing and searched for the ear buds. We drove back to look, and shortly after arriving, I found the airpods in the parking lot. When I went into the restaurant to let them know, I found Blake, my daughter, and several people looking for the airpods where we were previously sitting that evening. It seemed so many people were pitching in with Blake leading the way. This is exactly what I'd hope to see, but I know few places would care enough. Thank you, Blake, for helping my kiddo look. Thanks for the small stuff that matters. Thanks for representing Hilltop in a way that will keep us coming back indefinitely. We appreciate you, including all the great and friendly staff. Thank you. We will be back!

Have been to Hilltop twice now and had things I liked about it. The area really benefits from having a spot like this for dinner out without too much fuss or fancy, or having to go "into the city." It's a nice family friendly spot with definite regulars. The food is a little pricey for what it is IMO but I suppose they can get away with it in Edina.Food I've had:French onion soup: It's famous for a reason. So much goopy, drippy, delicious cheese and croutons from definitely real bread. This was great- and it seemed like maybe a chicken broth base? I appreciated that the base wasn't the usualy beefy super rich style. It would have been too overwhelming otherwise.Tuna melt: Satisfying, flavorful, plenty of tuna. Good bread.Pear chicken salad: This was great, good dressing, the chicken was cooked wellWings: Have had dry rub and Asian (wet)- very good.Reuben: This was weird. I'm a reuben afficiando. This Reuben had tons of sauerkraut (which I typically love) but only when the ratio is a little more balanced. The reuben I had was like 80% sauerkraut and VERY little meat. It was disappointing. I really wanted to love it because a reuben is one of my favorite foods. But would NOT order it again.Margarita: Skip. Too much sweet & sour. Too sweet overall. Tasted like a Minnesota suburb margarita. I typically like a refreshingly tart margarita, more tequila-forward, with fresh lime. This was not that.Carrot cake- delicious!!!

My husband and I visited on New Year's Day for breakfast. It was a bit busy but we were seated fast, Denise was a nice server. There's a big free parking lot attached to the building. They play trendy music but it is family friendly and they have good food. I ordered the mimosa, yogurt parfait and the toast. I loved the French toast!! Touch of sweetness with the right texture. We're already planning on visiting again to try the dinner menu.

The Hilltop is a great bar and grill with friendly staff and good food. I got the 1/2 soup and sandwich with fries which filled the spot. Seemed like there were a lot of regulars here.

A great place for a quick bite and a good burger! They do have a lot of other fare but it's great that they have Guinness on tap! Service can be slow during peak hours, well because it's peak! Do reserve a table ahead of time otherwise it's a bit of a wait as this place is quite popular any day of the week (yes, I've tried it). Very casual, friendly people, and good food! What else can you ask for?!

The Hilltop is a neighborhood hot spot. It's great for groups, family-friendly, and a perfect choice for happy hour or meal before a night out.The service is great! Our server Laurie was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and efficient; exactly what you want when enjoying a meal at the end of a long day.The food here is tasty and fresh. While they have somewhat limited vegetarian options,the options that they do have are really good! I usually go for the Greek salad. It's really light and refreshing--zippy vinaigrette, chewy dolmas, and the usual suspects of tomato, cucumber, feta, and onion. If you're dessert-minded, you will be very happy. I tried the carrot cake and was most pleased. Highly recommend.One word of warning: this is a popular place, so it can get pretty loud. It's a great place if you want a lively evening, but it's not great for quiet conversation.

A great place for breakfast! Tables fill up quickly on the weekends so definitely consider making a reservation ahead of time, especially for larger groups (6+). When I visit the Hilltop with friends or family it is a requirement to split the French toast or a stack of chocolate chip pancakes - both amazing recipes. Other than that, their Benedict's, avocado toast, and steak & eggs are other great options for breakfast entrees. I love that their sauces, salsas, and desserts are made fresh in house. You can certainly tell! If you're visiting for dinner, I highly recommend a slice of carrot cake and an espresso martini to finish the night. The 4 season patio is a fun option for a mid sized group to rent out for an event - bridal/baby shower or birthday celebration. The patio recently got revamped as well - check it out!

My 6-year-old said and I went here for lunch the other day and sat at the bar. The bartender was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu and really helped us guide us in the right direction. They brought out my son's food very promptly, it was a great burger for a kid. I had the chicken sandwich, I enjoyed it but I think some other things in the menu I would probably like more. We'll definitely be going back though

Hilltop is great! It truly is that "meet ya there" perfect neighborhood spot. Whether it's grabbing a drink with a friend or a family breakfast, this place is fantastic. I've never been disappointed with any of my food choices and most recently got to try the salmon Benedict which was fantastic. The cinnamon roll was also soooo good. I've tried their salads which are also great. The atmosphere is cozy and I love the zig zag seating arrangement. I always look forward to dining here because it's a trustworthy establishment and you can count on getting good service and a great meal for a good price.

We had an Amazing Ladies Night Out for Our Book Club, The Real Housewives Of Mpls. A few of us arrived early and our table was not ready. Manager Carrie greeted us with a smile and set us up at temp table until ours was ready. The Hostess (I can't recall her name) cute 17 yo, was sweet and friendly. We were a large group of 16 and our server Lily was Phenomenal!!The Atmosphere, Staff, Food and drinks, 5 out of 5 Stars!
