We stopped in for a late breakfast and the food was plentiful, filling and tasty. We did purchase a cinnamon roll to go and actually got four portions from it. That said - it was a bit doughy. Maybe bigger isn't always better. Will definitely return. read more

The dinner roll was amazing. Everything on the salad bar seemed fresh and tasted good and the service was great. Definitely will stop again when in the area. read more

Hilltop Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - L'Anse, Michigan

Ate here three times in two days. Had lunch, then dinner and then breakfast. I was with a crowd of coworkers for each meal and everyone was very happy with their meals. I had the ultimate grilled cheese for lunch with soup. Both were awesome. For dinner I had the fish basket, it was okay, I wouldn't pick it again. For breakfast I had the stuffed french toast that is made from their cinnamon rolls. It was amazing. I had bread pudding which is made from the cinnamon rolls as well and it was good, I've had better. Now, I also stopped on the way out of town as did ally coworkers and we all bought multiple cinnamon rolls. These turned out to be the BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever had. I have had many cinnamon rolls from many places and these are amazing. And they are HUGE. read more

This family style restaurant has a nice variety, and the service was very good. If you are a fan of bread pudding you have to try it here. They make it with their famous cinnamon rolls, and it is amazing. I definitely will stop in again! read more

Highly recommend if you're traveling in the UP! Food was great, especially for the price, and the staff were SO welcoming.

Gone downhill disappointment! We have given Hilltop several chances to improve. We used to order takeout almost every Friday. It started with their coleslaw. Awful like it is spoiled. Then cold potatoes, tasteless gravy or forgotten completely on the hot beef sandwich! Their dinner and cinnamon rolls are almost dough. Yuck! We have loved Hilltop for years. Last night was the last time until new owners and or cook. Everything we ordered was under cooked and soggy, fries that were white and soggy, fish, shrimp, doughy rolls again. The chicken and dumpling soup was white and tasteless! No visible dumpings could be distinguished. Is there no supervision or quality control? New owners are not cut out to run a restaurant and have given up. Ugh what a waste of a great restaurant. :( read more

Could be good but wouldn't know as hours only updated on a piece of paper in the window. Closed on Monday & Tuesday.

We stopped at Hilltop Restaurant for lunch after visiting Canyon Falls. The portion sizes were very generous. The service was good and they friendly. The house made soup was hot and tasty. Hilltop is known for their gigantic cinnamon rolls so we wanted to try it. It's huge - glad we shared it! It was pretty good. I personally prefer a cream cheese frosting. The "icing" they used was too much and dripping off the plate. The next time I'm in the area I will probably stop for a meal but will probably pass on the cinnamon roll. read more

Quick easy breakfast, their cinnamon rolls are huge, very very huge....especially popular choice.

Food was good, service was good. Interior could use some sprucing up. Would definitely come back. Looking forward to eating the sweet roll later tonight. read more

Food was good. Service was adequate. Masking is very loosely enforced. Most servers had masks but only 2/5 I saw wore them properly over mouth and nose and one wore here around her chin most of the time. Masking while not at your table seems to be optional for patrons. Likely will not be back here. read more

This place was busy even mid afternoon. That's how good it is! The portion sizes were HUGE! The service was top notch. Many items to choose from on the menu as well. On the way out we bought some homemade goods. The cinnamon buns are enormous and delicious. Four people had it for breakfast the next morning. The cookies and rice krispy treats (especially) were awesome! read more

A small town restaurant with good service and good food! They even have a cute little Michigan shop. Try their sweet roll!

A must stop for the giant cinnamon roll that is bigger than your hand. The roll itself is nice and soft with not too sweet icing melted on top with an awesome apple center. read more

Every time we drove buy, it was crowded. Decided to finally try to eat there but the wait was over an hour so we left. They only had one cook, and short staffed in all other areas. read more

This business has undergone a somewhat recent change in ownership. The food is decent and diners will be impressed by the size of the cinnamon rolls. Waitstaff were pleasant. The owner was an a**. I spoke with him on the phone a few days later. My bill was incorrect. He asked me for my credit card information and I apologized for having trouble reading the faded numbers, as I'd just had eye surgery. He replied, " I don't want to hear about it," and went on to find things to snarl and be additionally rude and socially inappropriate about. Btw, I'm not some little old person who whines and overshares about health issues. The guy was just simply an a**. I wouldn't spend money there again. Toni's Country Kitchen, not that much farther north in Laurium, has much better food, prices and attitude. read more

Just had amazing breakfast with homemade toast. They have amazing baked goods made there on site. The cinnamon roll is HUGE. A must have.

I'd go so far as to say Hilltop is THE restaurant for all of Baraga County. They have roadside signs promoting the world's largest cinnamon roll, and indeed it is enough to feed 2-3 people, or 1 person who wants a full day's caloric intake in a single sitting. Besides the famous rolls, they have a full menu of traditional sit-down restaurant fare. The steak-n-potato stuff, with salads, soups and such. Good sign for a restaurant is the number of old people dining there. Certainly applies to this place since the majority of diners I've seen are over 60. After a day on the Keweenaw Peninsula, come on back to L'anse and have dinner here. read more

Best breakfast I've had in a long time! Great UP landmark with the best cinnamon rolls that are huge! Home made breads and desserts. An absolute must if you're in the area. read more

Entirely deserving of all the rave reviews. I had the sausage gravy over eggs and potatoes; I asked for more gravy to enjoy it more fully. My companion had the Hilltopper with cinnamon swirl toast (as did I) and then surreptitiously bought a cinnamon roll the size of a loaf of banana bread. This place is a great reason to return to the Upper Peninsula again and again. read more

Great food very quick service and the staff was very friendly. The cinnamon rolls were huge and very good. Cool little gift shop with some UP gear I will definitely be back. read more

Food was good they were understaffed the waitresses were seating people and had full sections. I ordered the northerner and really enjoyed the sausage gravy they make for the biscuits and gravy. The hashbrowns were also yummy. We did not get a cinnamon roll there but they looked good so we bought two to bring home for our families. My husband really liked his stuffed trench toast and ate all of it! Good place to get breakfast in the area. The breakfast buffet they had was a really great price of $7.99 for all you can eat. They also had their worlds largest sweet rolls available on the buffet. When we got home we tried the cinnamon roll and it was fabulous! Stop and pick up the largest sweet roll to take home with you and enjoy.... we did! read more

Terrible service. Took an hour to get a sandwich. Customers seated after had their meal before us. Know they had limited staff but waitress should of been checking on our meal after a while. read more

Pretty good food. Servers were all very friendly. As I'm sure you've noticed reading through the information on this restaurant, they have cinnamon rolls :) I just returned from dinner and they have a decent salad bar and very good soup. Rolls served with dinner are really good - better than even some of the fanciest restaurants I've been to. Cinnamon rolls look good and I'm heading back in the morning to try some "sweet roll french toast". All in all, this is a great place to try out. Their menu has plenty to offer, service is great, food is good, and there's big cinnamon rolls. You can't lose! read more

What happened to the cinnamon rolls? They used to be ooey-gooey with lots of cinnamon swirls. YUM. Worth the stop. We picked some up this week (Jan 2022) and they were nothing like that. The cinnamon swirl looked as if someone drew a line in the bread with a cinnamon pencil. Not even any cinnamon flavor. We were all so disappointed. Please don't mess with a good thing! read more

Ordered a cinnamon roll and the lumberjack breakfast and split both with my wife. Both were great and we had leftovers! Great place to stop on your way to the Keweenaw! read more

Hilltop Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - L'Anse, Michigan

While this place is known for their world famous sweet roll, the rest of the food is just as good, if not better Like most family restaurants, their breakfast outdoes their lunch/dinner menu, but that's just because their breakfast menu is REALLY good For dinner, I would highly recommend their ribs or fried chicken. For breakfast, I would recommend showing up on Sunday for their breakfast brunch read more

I don't know the food was pretty good but what really threw me off was the over priced juice. I'm from Minnesota and I think this restaurant was over exaggerated. read more

Hilltop Restaurant - The over priced "Large juice" was smaller then a pop cup. Ridiculous, if you're going to way over charge at least do free refills - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - L'Anse, Michigan

Really good food. They are known for their 1lb. Cinnamon Roll. It is huge...it fed five of us I had the shrimp basket. Most of the time when you get a shrimp basket they all taste the same ...this one the shrimp was awesome. Everybody at our table got a different thing and they all loved the food. Good old fashioned home cooked meals. read more

I grew up going to Hilltop and have always enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. We always grab a few before camping to heat up over the fire for breakfast the next morning. The breakfast buffet is excellent, especially the French toast, and it is enjoyable to overhear, while we eat, the snowbirds during the summer talk about their winter spent in Texas. read more

We tried the famous sweet roll, it was yummy! We really didn't realize that it was a restaurant when we found it online. We just thought it was a bakery. We had a full breakfast and the pancake was delicious. They have huge cookies for sale and other baked goods at the register. We even bought giant dog biscuits for only $1 each and every dollar went to a shelter for the animals. Nice service and nice atmosphere. read more

I ordered the homemade layered meatloaf for dinner. The homemade meatloaf patty sits on top a pile of mashed potatoes. Neither are really visible or recognizable because loaded on top is sauteed mushrooms, homemade gravy, shredded cheese and a mound of onion rings. The combination of all of those sounds like something I would create at home when I had a hankering for four different things and couldn't decide, so they all get put together. It sounds on the weird side but it goes together perfectly. read more

We made a point of stopping at Hilltop when we were traveling in the area. My husband and our 16 year son are cinnamon roll fanatics. I heard about the sweet rolls via friends on Facebook. So we stopped in for lunch. Our lunch was so good and Miriam our waitress very friendly and helpful. My husband was too full from his lunch to try a sweet roll. So he got one to go. The guys shared part of the sweet roll the next day. Both the guys loved every bite. Sweet roll perfection! The guys are seriously considering ordering some sweet rolls by mail in the future. read more

Not open the hours listed. Drove over an hour out of the way to try the amazing cinnamon rolls only to find a hand written sign stating they were only open a few days each week. Very disappointed family! read more

Hilltop is very popular spot in baraga lanse area their cinnamon rolls are so good and very large. This place is so well known me and my wife haven't been able to sit and actual enjoy the restaurants. My wife and I plan on attempting to sit and stay any recommendations read more

We stopped by this restaurant for lunch on our road trip from Oregon to the east coast. The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich was amazing - pulled pork, cheese, fried onions, with a little kick. Also had an excellent BLT on homemade bread. We didn't buy any of their enormous cinnamon rolls but one customer said they slice them and make French toast at home. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Great place to stop, especially if you are very hungry. read more

The Hilltop is a very nice family restaurant with fresh, homemade food and cordial service. My family had a variety of soups, some items from a decent-sized salad bar, the French dip sandwich (very good!), fish and chips (good, but not spectacular) and enormous, fresh-baked dinner rolls. We purchased one cinnamon roll as big as my kids' heads for dessert later. The variety on the menu was surprising, considering the location and much of the food is made in-house, which is quite good. I'd love to try their breakfast sometime! read more

Breakfast was excellent.service was excellent. Cinnamon sweet roll was huge!!! Very good and tasty. Had to buy some to take home. Recommend this place. read more

The cinnamon rolls truly are as good as advertised. They are definitely big enough for 2-3 people. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A nice, clean restaurant. I was a bit disappointed with the fresh fruit. The waitress said it was all cut and placed in the fridge mixed together. It had a bit of a fruit cocktail taste. My daughter had the cinnamon roll French toast. It had a cream cheese filling. I think the plain cinnamon roll was the much better bet. read more

I had not been to the Hilltop for 20 years, but was reminded this morning why it is such a long standing landmark in the UP. Great food, great service and the most memorable cinnamon rolls available anywhere. You have to try these at least once in your lifetime. read more
