The service, food, and atmosphere are all enough to keep me coming back. The price and portion that is served are an added incentive. The meals are definitely comfort food especially if you are a foodie. read more

Traveling through from Florida on our way to Colorado. We love little places like this, it is usually the best food. I'm a little confused as to whether it's called "The Hilltop Grill" or Burger something ??? The sign at the entrance says one thing and the other sign at the end of the building said something different. Super small place, strongly suggest you bring cash. The woman behind the counter was an absolute hoot, we were listening tentatively to some of the other recommendations that were made. read more

Stopped in here on the way north. Got a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger was very good, tasted fresh and the fries were fantastic. The only negative thing I have to say is the lady at the front counter was not friendly at all. Almost purposely unfriendly. Why put someone with a terrible attitude in that position. read more

The Hilltop Grill - Bacon cheeseburger - American Near Me - Union Springs, Alabama

This is a place you want to eat while you're in town. It's a local place that serves everything from bbq to hamburgers and salads. Everything is cooked to order and you can see the cook making the food as you order. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The inside quite honestly isn't something to look at kinda of a old school local place but let's face it your not there for the looks your there for the food and that's the best part of this place. I got a cheese burger that was cooked to perfection and really good and the fries oh my goodness very tasty. Don't miss out on this place just from the way it looks. read more

Small little quaint place. The food was excellent. I only had breakfast but what I had was very good. The only thing I didn't truly live was the biscuit. I believe they were probably frozen and when it cooled it became chewy. The pork chops was on point. read more

Since 1949...and not much has changed, I'd bet. I was beating the backroads of southeastern Abalama on my way home from a visit to Atlanta and got hungry around Union Springs. I drove around town a bit and didn't see anything, so I stopped at a convenience store and asked where a good place to eat was located. A couple of hundred yards down the road was the Hilltop Grill. The dirt/gravel parking lot was nearly empty when I arrived, but that changed in short order, as people arrived to pick up to-go orders or eat inside. The building itself is a low and small cinder block affair, in decent repair, but it could benefit from some upgrades. I ordered the $3 pulled pork sandwich (see pic) with a side of tater tots. The picture of the sandwich might not convey the mound of delicious pork installed on that bun. It was heaped up and brimming with lip-smacking goodness. The tater tots were hot and crispy, although there weren't a lot of them. There's a squeeze bottle of home-made BBQ sauce on each table, which was quite good...well-balanced between sweetness and vinegar. I also shook some Tabasco sauce on before I tore into the sandwich. Moving on from that appetizer, I ordered a cheeseburger ($3.70, IIRC...see pic). It was a fairly thick, hand-made patty, a bit on the dry side. I ran out of burger before I ran out of bun, but I enjoyed it anyway. Would have been better with a minute or two less time on the griddle. Self-serve Coke fountain drinks, sweet and unsweet tea. I had real lemon slices with mine, which was a nice touch. Those plastic packets of lemon juice suck. You order at the counter just inside of the front door, stake a claim to a booth or table, and they bring out your food to you. The menu is hanging behind the counter, so if your eyesight is faulty, you might be in the way of hungry patrons as you try to make a selection. A solid four stars for quality, quantity, and price. Glad that I stopped and asked a local for a recommendation and found Hilltop Grill. read more

Great find - thanks Yelp friends! Looking for lunch winding through Alabama on State Route 82 & we found this local gem. Pulled pork sandwich with homemade BBQ sauce & onion rings hit the spot. Teenage son mowed through double cheeseburger & home cut battered French fries. Tried corn nuggets which were deep fried creamed corn & tasty. Place does a lot of take out for the local crowd. Last minute splurge on fried cherry & cream cheese pie. Piping hot out of the fryer - best wonton ever. read more

I went to this resturant today and had the best service. The food was simply amazing. I had one of the best burgers I've ever had there! I live about an hour away but I would travel to union springs just for this resturant! read more

Giving it a 4 star because the grits are the best I have ever had. I had the country fried steak breakfast plate $5.95 and it was fine. People are nice there. I would go again if it was on my route. read more
