Had a great dinner at Hill Top Cafe! The place is casual, eclectic, and focused on serving truly delicious food. Our experience was a refreshing break from the Main Street dining scene. Everything tasted fresh and made with quality ingredients.
The chicken-fried steak was tender and genuinely special. My husband had the red beans and rice with shrimp and absolutely loved it. The veggies were crisp and yummy. We spent the whole dinner raving about how they take classic dishes and make them uniquely their own. We were stuffed but couldn’t leave without trying dessert. As expected, the cobbler was delish! The staff was friendly and provided quality service. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed our meal here and also got some olive oil. The shrimp muting was great. The Greek salad fantastic, the red beans and rice were good but could use some spicy and the catfish was nicely fried

Laid back spot to grab a drink and some good food. Food was flavorful. The burger tasted good but was a bit dense for my taste. I did not care for the truffle fries. The fried steak and gravy was very good

The decoration and history are interesting and fun to check out. The waitstaff are very friendly and attentive. They pass by often but are not intrusive and know the menu items and are helpful with suggestions.
If you come on a night with music, be aware that the volume is so very high one will not be able to hear any of one’s company; unless that is the idea- it will not be a nice night. Several of us left with headaches and sore throats.
They had nice appetizers. The bread and feta cheese were really good, but again the appetizers were a bit pricy for the quantity.
The food was tasty and had some interesting menu items. t was a bit overpriced for the quality, but definitely for the quantity. The burgers were small but good. Truffle fries were delicious. The stuffed peppers were also flavorful, however, the side was white rice which is part of the stuffing for the pepper- they could have used a garlic mashed or even zucchini or other veggies in a nice butter and herbs.
The outside areas were open and offered a reprieve from the loud music. The bathrooms were very clean and well kept.
Overall we enjoyed the food, but didn’t find the experience earth shattering.

Mark (spelt M A R K) took great care of us and definitely seemed to know what he was doing. He furnished us with a couple of delicious pizzas and insisted on pouring me a glass of wine before I took off down the hill with the bottle. Two cool dogs. Great outside seating. Dog friendly.

A good little place with great taste. Food was way overpriced for Red Beans and Rice with 2 shrimp and 2 very small pieces of sausage for $27. Server wasn’t honest to other server about substitutions and teied to charge when was told we could also left with out attending to our table. Music was good.

While in Fredericksburg we met a sweet gentlemen who recommended the hill top Cafe for breakfast. Let me say that we were not disappointed during our visit. The staff was ever so sweet. Mr. Nickles played live music on Sunday morning that was wonderful. It is about 10 miles outside of town but well worth the drive. We had a little of everything fried okra, eggs Benedict, Chicken fried chicken, a pancake, a mimosa and a bloody mary. The food was delicious. I will be ABSOLUTELY be back next time I’m in the area.

We went to see Bonnie Bishop and Linda Gail Lewis. Both fabulous shows! The food was excellent and the fried deviled eggs are to die for. It’s a nice drive, great music and excellent food! As Texas as Texas gets!

Iconic Texas hole-in-the-wall honky tonk and cafe located at an old gas stop at the top of a hill on the a country road 11 miles west of Fredericksburg. We had Sunday Gospel brunch today. Loved the music, marveled at the huge collection of Texas music memorabilia and ate some great fried catfish that melted in our mouths. Escargot and gumbo started our meal. The menu is grounded in Cajun staples and the service was outstanding even though they are still short handed. Check their summer schedule so you aren’t disappointed and best to call for a reservation if you want to be there for the music. They are typically open for lunch and dinner at least Thursday through Sunday but close midday. They’ve also got two dining rooms, a patio and a big following. We drive over from Austin and it is well worth the drive. There are very few places that bring back the memories like this one. Don’t miss it.
