    BB Burger!
    Jeff D.

    Big Hill is a big hit! I brought my parents here on Friday for dinner and it was a great call! The decor is a mix between modern and old school barn type decor. We sat ourselves and the only negative was no one came to take our order for about 10 minutes until I made some eye contact with the hostess and one of the waitresses. That was the only hiccup. I had one of their Manhattans which was very smooth and a great drink. Beyond that I did their BH Burger which consisted of beef, cheddar, onion, lettuce, special sauce, mustard, pickles, toasted brioche. I will say next time I'd get the secret sauce on the side. I seemed to get all over the bottom of the burger making the bun soggy. It was very tasty and the accompanying fresh cut fries were great! I can't wait to come back maybe for brunch on a weekend and check out their patio. Plenty of street parking can be found.

    Burger was juicy and tasty but the bowl was very underwhelming. The bowl lacked spice, flavor, seasoning, it all tasted like oily fried chicken and mayo. There was no heat, pepper, nor salt, the lime was dried out so lack of acid. Not picture, Buffalo wings, those were tasty, fried nicely and coated well in sauce.

    So Good! We happened to stop in for a quick dinner and they had just opened. The atmosphere was relaxed. I asked for a cucumber margarita and it was delicious. I also had the chicken bowl - a good choice. They were super nice and attentive. Hoping to see them again!

    Shot with a Lil Buddy

    On my first visit I enjoyed the relaxed tone ambiance of the bar. The seasonal and classic cocktails were all appealing. My partner and I tries the Good old Neon, Kentucky Buck and Shot with a Lil Buddy. All were very tasty and savory. Our bartender was great and had such a positive attitude. We plan to make this our neighborhood bar.

    One of their specials during the summer, Pimento Fried Chicken sandwich. So good!

    If you're familiar with Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club, then you should come here for dinner! They're owned by the same person. The food is delicious and they have a great selection of drinks. Never disappointed with the food or service. Take advantage of the patio during warm months.

    Poke stack
    Kelsey H.

    I tried this restaurant in North Park on a whim. The reviews were very mixed and figured it was worth a shot. It's definitely a bar, with food. When you first walk in, there's a beautiful bar places in the back and a few small tables to sit for actual food. Despite that, I wanted food. We started with the poke stack. Quite a few yelpers wrote that it was good and they were correct! It comes with three pieces of a cracker that tastes like Nori but is a bit thicker, grade A quality tuna, and a few other ingredients. I would eat it over and over if I could. Definitely impressed! I, then, decided to try something out of the blue and get their steak toast. It sounded super interesting: sourdough bread, steak, tomato, cottage cheese. I like all of those separately but was unsure about them all together, especially the cottage cheese. Be warned, you NEED to like cottage cheese to get this dish. Overall, it was a very interesting dish. All the ingredients actually worked- I'd definitely recommend. A couple of others commented about the price. It's not too expensive, it's reasonably priced a tad bit on the high end. The poke stack was $14, cocktails are about $12, the entree was $17. Nothing too crazy- especially for good food!

    A very friendly neighborhood place that offers delicious dishes! My friends and I ordered steak toast, hummus and BLT salad. The steak was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I believe they used white beans to make the hummus that was served with carrots, cucumbers and plenty of pita bread. I devoured my BLT salad because it was that delicious. My Kamikaze was a bit disappointing because it came with a cherry. There are only 3 ingredients in a kamikaze and cherry isn't one of them, not even to garnish. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

    Fried pork & vegetable wontons in a tasty sauce.

    We visited Big Hill for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. This place has great ambience and a lovely outdoor (dog friendly!) patio combined with tasty food and an impressive cocktail menu. My only regret is that we didn't try it sooner.

The entrance to the bar is located to the left of Lonesome Rose, which gives it a hideaway feel. The décor is lovely and the vibe is cozy and chill. I kind of felt like I was in a Western bar with the big bull head starting down at me. I would say that for parties of 2 to 4, this is a good joint to hang out in, but any larger groups, I did not see a space to accommodate more than 4 people. The night we were there, they had a cool 80s playlist going and that was nice to sit and chair dance while drinking my cava. The Doctor liked the fact that the beer was really cold. And I loved that they had sparkling wine. There is a small section on the menu for food: chips/salsa, Chile con queso, guacamole, Heartbreaker Burger (Chorizo Smash Patty, Grilled Onion, Cilantro, Chile Con Queso, Pickled Jalapeno, Shredded Lettuce, Jalapeno Ranch, Sesame Seed Bun) and Truck Stop Nachos. I got the Truck Stop Nachos (Black Beans, Queso, Pickled Red Onions, Pickled Peppers, Tomato, Crema). You have the option to add Picadillo Beef, Chorizo, or Carne Asada as protein. But you also have the option to have it vegan. I went with steak. Overall this was a nice snack but would have liked a little more steak added to it. I am not sure if you can order from the menu of Lonesome Rose, but the next time we go, I will ask about that. And I have to remember not to call Lonesome Rose, Lonesome Dove (the novel and mini-series). The selection of cocktails is decent, and it is nice that they have non-alcoholic beverages as well. For those that like hard seltzers, they have those as well as a "Toke Cosmic Berry", which is a THC seltzer. Service was nice, the bartender was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of happy hour places.

It was three of us meeting for dinner and some drinks. My friend had white wine, hubby had an Espressotini, and I the watermelon-cucumber marg. We ordered the cauliflower ceviche, the Cauliflower wings, and the Brussels sprouts as appetizer. Then as an entree, my friend had the Jalisco Burger, hubby had the Salmon, and I a Salmon Caesar Salad. I personally loved the salad and the appetizers were great. Everyone else ate ALL their food, so I assume they also enjoyed it. The location was actually having an 80s night and there was a Dj and space for dancing. There were some people there dress for the themed night and it was just a great vibe. Talking with our friend and eating made us lose track of time and then it was time to leave but before we did, we met one of the owners who actually recommended I come by and visit. (Shoutout to Marcos ) He is the most warm and sunny person, and he was so grateful we actually came by. We had a shot and honestly I'd come back because of him. He told us a little bit about him, his family and about the restaurant backstory. I truly recommend you coming here, you will have a great time. Oh, and almost forgot, they have outside sitting, so you know it will be a great time when you just want to have an outside patio vibe with friends and some drinks. P.s. As you can tell, there are only two pictures. I was so, involved in the moment with my friend's stories and then the appetizers came and nothing else mattered. We all lost track of time and just enjoyed the vibe, the beautiful night, and time with friends, drinks, and food. Oh and 80s music.

I've never eaten seafood and been vegetarian for over 30 years, but my boyfriend had a taste and also thought it was good and said they got the right flavor profile.
