Let's start with the food. The Hilltop, also known and searchable as Basilone's, is the best value in the area from New Castle to Youngstown to Sharon. Hilltop has Margie Dogs, unique to the area (although some say "uhh, Stanley Dogs?") and a short menu of local traditional favorites. Today it's about the first Friday of Lent, 2026, and the fish dinners associated with Lent in this area. That plate of deep fried haddock, with mac and cheese, and cole slaw, and the bread and butter was $9.00! Nine freaking bucks! And it came out blistering hot and delicious. I also got a couple Margie Dogs. You can't have Margie Dogs, because you think chili dogs are the best. You have to CRAVE a Margie Dog. And anyone who has ever HAD a Margie Dog, CRAVES Margie Dogs. So suffer. Margie Dogs are so much better than chili dogs, so you don't deserve them. (Hilltop does have kraut and chili dogs as well. And there's catsup on the table for your chili dog...) Anyways, the wife and I got two fish dinners, two Margie dogs, the sides and bread. Oh, and two Black and Tan pints. For $25.00. And I tipped a fin cause, man! Take care of your wait staff mang! I would bring my Mom here, lots of stuff to look at, pictures all over the walls, and a quiet and safe bunch of customers. In a quiet and safe part of Farrell, Pa. If you haven't been here, even in a couple of years, come back. Farrell is up and running great! read more
