Hilltown has definitely upped their food game! The wings are exceptional and we also liked the cheese steak egg rolls and all of the taco types. Very good. Also, they have several TVs - including one outside. The TVs are visible from any seat in the house. The beer selection is really good and the bartenders are efficient and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I came on a busy Thursday night for the eagles and I had an amazing time. The food was great. My sandwich had crispy chicken and Cole slaw with a side of Fries. The nachos were also really good. Even though there was an eagles game we walked in and was sat quickly. The crowd was also all there to watch the game. Would definitely come back on another game night read more

Different Cheesesteak #1225. Special guest eater Kevin(?). In the video I joke about kidnapping him. - sidebar - if he didn't make it back to Houston I am kidding about the kidnapping - We got the tavern cheesesteak. I liked some things. I didn't like some things. I liked that the bartender recommended the happy hour cheesesteak special. I really liked the aioli on the cheesesteak. I liked that it came with french fries. I liked that we made a new friend at the bar. I think the meat, cheese and aioli deserve a better roll. This particular cheesesteak was oily. Luckily we had the french fries to help balance the oil. read more

Was in the search for a simple Caesar salad, which is what drew me in here. I'll start by saying the service was so so nice, almost too nice. So overall super pleasant experience. Went with the chicken Caesar salad, which was just meh. The chicken wasn't strips but rather pressed slices, which was strange. Also there was an underwhelming amount of croutons and maybe no cheese that I can remember. The dressing was fine-pretty standard. Decently priced for a chicken Caesar salad but wouldn't go back here again for this. If you're in the area wanting a quick drink it's a fair option, though. read more

I was here with a large group for a 21st bday bar crawl. We took up a lot of space outside but the server was super kind and patient with our group (we were respectful, promise!) She checked on us frequently and our glasses were never empty. A couple of us got food and it was decent (including a cheesesteak that seemed to be pleasing). But I had the Buffalo chicken tots and they were almost inedible (I can't believe I'm saying this). The tots were few and the blue cheese was the main dish. The concept was there but I think maybe just poorly executed. Service = 5 stars Food = meh read more

Do not go for brunch! A 10 year old cooks better than this place. Scrambled eggs, how do you mess that up? Cold unbuttered wheat bread and deep fried potato sticks. The eggs come with the shells mixed in. My friend had steak and eggs, the steak was so salty, it tasted like the chef dipped it in a vat of steak seasoning . Service is good and so are drinks . Stop in for drinks and skip the food read more

Locals bar - 10/10. Very very good experience Hilltown is probably the best bar in fairmount. Staff is very nice, food is tasty, drinks are cheap and cold, and large TVs with flexibility to watch what you want. They make you feel like you are part of the family which leads to an experience better than competing bars in the neighborhood. We will be back read more

Hilltown is a good corner bar with decent food, good service, and a homey atmosphere.

Nice neighborhood pub with a good drink selection. Menu had lots of standard pub food and everything hits the spot. Many TVs behind the bar and elsewhere to watch sports and such. Great to sit at the bar or a table, or even outdoor seating as well. Have been twice and both times the burgers were cooked nicely, and good quality toppings on em. Fries are fairly good and decently seasoned. Pretty good hang out spot and nicer overall than some other bars in this neighborhood. Thanks read more

No, just no. I am a foodie and I should have known not to trust the Google reviews. Everything we ate... not good. The vibe is fine, as you would expect with dark wood and sports on the TVs. The service was okay. No real complaints about that, but the food was wayyyyy off the mark. read more

Was in the area and stumbled across this tavern. There are two entrances to the tavern and you seat your self. The service is decent and they check in on you pretty frequently. I had the Parmesan garlic fries and the Buffalo wings: the fries were on the greasier. The Buffalo wings were delicious. You get 10 wings and they are all fried and seasoned properly. I definitely would come back for the wings and to try other items on their menu. read more

Amazing food and a chill neighborhood spot. I always have a burger, French onion soup, and their wings. The wings are amazing, and there's a new flavor every month. Just had the honey lemon pepper, and it was amazing. The fact that this place doesn't have a 5/5 rating is insane to me. Can't suggest it enough. read more

Came to happy hour drinks with a friend SUPER hungry and knew a burger and fries would be necessary! Hilltown is a great neighborhood bar with no nonsense bartenders and a good pub-style menu. From fried favorites to flights and a great beer list of local favorites, it is easy to see how easy it would be to become a regular here. The Hilltown burger was the salty, savory end of day pick me up that I needed. Covered in caramelized onions and cooked to perfection, I love that it was served in a cute Irish "newspaper" and service was speedy. I look forward to the next time I get to stop by and would recommend for a casual happy hour or evening out! read more

We went here for the Chelsea Liverpool game. The place was open early for the game and also served breakfast. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The portions were large, seasoned well and good taste overall. We got the loaded tots and the Hilltown omelette. We also got the Irish coffee and mimosa which were very good! The place had a lot of seating and many tvs. The bartender was super nice and we had a really nice time here. read more

This place continues to be a go to spot for my boyfriend and I. We really like coming here for the games and grabbing dinner. My bf pretty much always orders the fish and chips. It is delicious and you can never go wrong. I wanted to try something new. Most recently we ordered the fried pickles and hilltown flatbread. Pickles we were not a big fan of. Overly fried and was just okay. The flatbread was delicious and I could not stop eating it. Loved all of the flavors and the sauce on top. Great portion size and a dish I would recommend! read more

There was a small issue in the beginning where we couldn't find someone so we could've a seat outside but that was resolved fast. The food and services were the best. They took our order and within minutes our food came out. Fast service and they kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything. Best experience and the food was delicious. Really recommend this place. Especially during football season because of how great the atmosphere is read more

Love the outdoor seating the food is pretty good. Prices are reasonable and service is fast.

Classic bar vibe. Bar was fine, the lethargic bartender couldn't care less if we were there. However, we ordered 2 orders of tots to go and were beyond let down, you see this? read more

We visited Hilltown a whim after going to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and we weren't disappointed. I have a toddler and I would say this place is not for kids that small, but that kids Mac and cheese was delicious. My kid crushed it and I'm not going to lie I had a taste of it and it was so good. It was real Mac and cheese! It came with fries and here is where the only food problem came in. The fries were raw. Like they touched grease for a second to brown and got taken out. The middle wasn't even remotely cooked. I also had fries as I had fish n chips, which were also raw. The fish however was cooked perfectly and quite frankly was delicious. My husband got the Sheppard pie and again no complaint just tender beef and perfect mashed potatoes and gravy. But the best thing I had was the Irish lemonade!! Yall go get a couple of these!!! It's an alcohol based drink that was so dang good. I had three. So good y'all! read more

I came here recently for lunch and ordered a Caesar salad. It took about 75 minutes to get because they said they were low on workers. I didn't have anywhere to be so I was cool with waiting. When my caesar salad finally arrived to my table it was a bowl of romaine with a cup ranch dressing. The server told me they didn't have time to make caesar dressing so they gave me ranch instead. So in the 75 minutes I waited they also apparently didn't have time to come tell me they were bringing me a caesar without caesar dressing. It was so awful. I just didn't want to wait 75 more minutes for something else so I didn't send it back. But I really didn't eat it either. I just won't ever go back after this experience. read more

Hilltown is our favorite local spot in fairmount. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! There's nothing on the menu that I haven't liked. I highly recommend the disco fries or the nachos. They also have amazing wings! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

I've been here a few times, often times to just drink. It's an ideal place for drinking and hangout at the bar. It can get a bit loud though inside. They do have outdoor space. Service is good. Food is limited and just alright. I do like the many options for fries. I'll be back to try other things on the menu, but it is not favorite in the neighborhood. read more

Whoever the manager is is dishonest. I've tried several times to make a reservation for a table & he said it's first come first serve. This is untrue as we have gone in October and November and seen at least 3 tables with a "reserved" sign on them. Our party is usually no more than 3-4 people for Thursday trivia. The first time we saw the signs, we assumed that maybe the person on the phone and myself had a misunderstand of what I was asking. When I called today to inquire about a reservation & noted that we have seen the reserved signs during trivia night, the man made a poor excuse that they only hold the table for a group that comes all the time at 1pm. He was rude and kept cutting me off after I tried to correct him that I was speaking about trivia night not an afternoon reservation. We loved the food options and the trivia host is fantastic! read more

My husband and I went there recently with our child. The waitress took forever to come over. She took out orders including a couple of beers. The beers never came out and our child's dinner came out with two chicken fingers. We paid $8 for two chicken fingers - what a ripoff. Out beers and food still hadn't come out and our child was getting fussy so my husband opted to go inside and pay for the food and leave. Finally the food came and we scrambled to pack up. The food was subpar and although the waitress was apologetic, it was not a great experience due to the lack of care and consideration we received. read more

This place is everything you need in a neighborhood tavern. The food, the beer, the service was all perfect.

I was visiting from out of town. It was very hot out so I came in for lunch and a drink. The manager came over to see how i was doing and the bartender that served me had a thick Irish accent and made me feel very welcomed and gave off a real Dublin culture atmosphere. I had wings and the Buffalo sauce was to die for! read more

Great local pub. Amazing food and service. Love the veggie burger and sweet potato fries. Guinness on draft. Fun, friendly atmosphere

My bf lives in Fairmount but this is the first time we've ever been here! Food came out SO fast! I'm usually not a burger girl but this is probably one of the best burgers I've had in Philly.

I have been back many times after my last review and thought they deserved more stars. In regards to my last review, I understand things happen and it's out of their control. The service that I have received recently has been great and the food that they serve is tasty. If you want the best fried chicken sandwich you've ever had, Hilltown is the place! I am not joking either - it's the best in the city (in my opinion). It's a great place to meet up with friends for happy hour, grab drinks, and catch up. Such a great neighborhood spot read more

Under new management! Kitchen is back in action. Before Phillies opening day our group had buffalo quesadilla, cheesesteak spring rolls and French dip. All excellent. If you were here in the past year or so try it again you won't be disappointed. read more
