    a menu on the wall
    Gary W.

    This small mom and pop's on the side of hill is a great hidden gem. We stopped in after passing the restaurant several times. We were not disappointed with the food or the service. We were a party of Two and the only draw back I could see if your party was more than 4. We plan on making The HIlltop Restaurant and tradition for breakfast when in the area.

    Delicious home style cooking. Small, homey atmosphere and friendly staff. We are staying in Middlebury several weeks and go there for supper frequently.

    Haystack and a cinnamon roll!
    Douglas S.

    We stopped in for breakfast this morning. There was a queue of people outside waiting to get in. When we said there was two of us, we were seated right away. We chose the Haystack and a cinnamon roll. It was super fast delivery and very yummy. Both were definitely big enough to split. Everything they walked past us with also looked delicious. We would stop in to try more the next time we are in the area.

    Was so happy with the interior of this quaint restaurant. Everything so nice and clean. Not sure if remodeled or newly built but tasteful done. Had a hamburger with fries and egg omelette with sausage and peppers. Both were good. Waitress was attentive with a good attitude. Would definitely recommend.

I forgot to take pictures cause I was chomping it down. Let's start off with the Apple Butter on the dinner rolls, delicious. The butter was creamy and very flavorful. The rolls were fluffy and yet still thick. Had the Grilled Ham with Mashed Potatoes and Veggie Beef Soup. The soup hit the spot to start my meal off. When that thick cut of ham was placed in front of me, my mouth was watering already. The first bite was juicy and crispy. Grilled just right. Add in a creamy with chunks mashed potatoes. And a great gravy.. I could not have been happier, I am still longing for more! The atmosphere was homestyle for sure. Cozy, felt like I was out in the country at grandmas. Will def be back when I'm in the area again.

The chicken and noodles were fine, but we thought the turkey had more flavor. We've debated both times if we should get the buffet, but on neither visit did it have roast beef nor pie. Pie is the main reason for us dining here and our appetites just don't warrant more than one plate of food (especially all those heavy starches) AND pie, so it isn't worth the extra cost for us. Although again, if the buffet included pie, we'd get it. Also...we were told a 10-15 minute wait but waited more than 30. The hostess claimed they called us on the speaker but we were no more than 20 feet from the hostess stand the ENTIRE time. None of the three of us heard our name. They took my phone number when we arrived but I got no call nor text. People entered and were seated before us. So I went up and asked. She claimed to have called us and rolled her eyes at me.

They had a special for "Irish coffee" being St Patty's Day. Sure why not one of my favorites! I get a regular mug of coffee with Bailey's. For the record Irish coffee is brown sugar, Irish whiskey (preferably Tullamore D.E.W.) and whipped cream. Typically in a footed glass mug. I should have known better I was in Middlebury, IN. We inquired about an appetizer having garlic and onion. We were asked it if was preference or dietary? Does it really matter? But it is dietary for one of our party. After being told it had both we made other choices to split. Well the pretzel bites came with this HEAVY garlic cheese stuff that was the consistency of mashed potatoes. We also ordered poutine (another of our favorites) what came out was curly fries! (yes curly fries) with breaded cheese nuggets (yes breaded) with some brown thin gravy! Our main meal; one wedge salad (that was cut into quarters) with steak. Beautifully cooked beef medallions with zero flavor or seasoning. Nothing, not even S&P. The guest with the garlic/onion dietary request, asked what cheese comes on the nachos. She was told shredded and it's melted. So when her nachos came out it had mashed potato garlic cheese! She asked to have them remade. Which the server kindly did, her reorder came with a little melted cheese (you know when it's over heated and not cheese anymore) with sour cream squirted lines. I had the veggie burger which was actually good! The green goddess dressing is super tasty. Overall the place was nice and clean with super cute wallpaper in the bathroom. The prices with very reasonable. Would I go back, probably not. I wish them all the luck, might not be for us but I am sure they have fans.

We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 pm and there was a 15-minute wait to be seated. After we were seated, we were served with fresh bread, Amish peanut butter, and apple butter. It was very much appreciated because breakfast was several hours ago and we were starving. We proceeded to order and share the fried chicken dinner with fries and the smoked ham platter with mashed potatoes, gravy, and bread. The fried chicken was a bit small, however everything else was plentiful. We were stuffed but we had a room for dessert. We shared the old-fashioned sugar cream pie with vanilla ice cream. It was a glorious way to wrap up the meal! Since we were concluding a road trip, I did not want to have to cook after arriving home. We ordered homestyle meatloaf with potato salad and country roast beef with sweet potato casserole for take-out. The waitstaff planned very accordingly and had the kitchen prepare it so that the take-out will be ready once our meal concluded. Everything held up well on our three hour drive. My one complaint is that the meatloaf was a tad dry and did not come with sauce like a classic one normally does. When you are in an Amish community, it is almost wrong to not pick up baked goods. We also stopped by the bakery and bought peanut butter, sweetheart jam, Dutch apple pie, and banana cream pie. Whole pies are approximately $16.99 each. They were delicious!

There's salad, bread, soup, entrees and sides too - all cooked Amish style. I loved the beef noodles, meatloaf, and broccoli salad. I sampled some other dishes, but had to save room for pie. There were some really delicious puddings too - blueberry with fresh blueberries in it and a warm bread pudding. Delicious! Service was quick and friendly and I think it's a good value for $22. It's best to arrive early and plan for a long walk afterwards (to work off the pie).
