on Citysearch Mar 18, 2009The Hilltop has been out of the control of the originally family twice, this being the second and probably last time time. The quality has plummeted both times. The quality is so bad now I doubt the corporation running... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 04, 2009Meat was good. Side dishes were very unappetizing. Our mashed potatoes were soupy and bland just like our server (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2009Went to the Hilltop on 2/14/09. I had been there about 5 years ago and had a bad experience (overcook meat, poor quality), but thought I would give it a second chance. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 04, 2008You will mmediately know you are at Hilltop because of the line going out the door. The food here is great but you will never find a time that you do not have to wait to get in. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2007Hilltop Steak House is an icon on Route 1 in Saugus, MA. People flock to this restaurant every week and it is filled to maximum capacity until late into the evening. The food is average at best. Not the best steak I have... (more)

on Citysearch May 15, 2007Visited the resturant on May 13,2007. Ordered steak tips and there was a little crawly thing about an inch and a half long with lots of legs, cooked into our food. If you do decide to eat there after this review I have one... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2007I hadnt been to the Hilltop in years until last night. The last time I was there I may have possibly been eating off of the childrens menu so it could be as far back as about 15-20 years but I do remember good food and long... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2006<b>The Scene</b><br>Both of Hilltop's suburban locations enjoy year-round, capacity crowds thanks to a dependable meat-and-potato menu and prices that are straight out of the '80s (a full steak dinner,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 17, 2006You might see long lines when you you drive by one of their restaurants, and upon waiting in one those lines (sometimes for up to an hour), you will find that the steaks are no better than one you could have grilled in your... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 18, 2005this place is not the same as it was before the food is horrible and it is not worth going to. They need to something to get themselves back to the status of best steakhouse because right now i would not even recoomend my... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2005Well it's been two years since I was at Hilltop so I thought I'd give it another try and I'm very glad that I did. I am pleased to report that the filets were generous and excellent as was the service. The three of us were... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 05, 2005The Hilltop used to be the place to go. The line was horrendously long, but only added to the whole expreience and the food was worth the wait. I have gone back twice in the last couple years as recently as Friday night. I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2004This USED to be THE place to go for a great steak. That is no longer true. Anyone who voted this place a 10 has either never HAD a great steak or is simply waxing nostalgic to the Hilltops heyday. For a REALLY REALLY... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2004This is the worst restaurant in the city. The steak is tasteless and tough, the "vegetables" are vegall from a can, a dried up potato and iceberg lettuce drowned in dressing. Even the drinks are bad, unless it is their... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 16, 2004Years ago this was the place to go. Things change with the times and some do not. The Hill Top Steak House is one that has not changed with the times. If you like to be pushed out of your table when you finish the last bite of... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2004Frank Giuffrida, the late owner, knew what he was doing when he opened "The Hilltop SteakHouse," in Saugus, MA, ideally located on Route 1 South. Over the years, this famous landmark, has attracted droves of... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 25, 2004The food was ok, the service was good, but the ROLLS were to die for. The hilltop has the best rolls of any restaurant ever created. I ate so many that i didn't even care that my food was average. I RECOMMEND THE HILLTOP... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2004This is a restaurant for folks who appreciate fresh, simlpy prepared food. The steaks are incomparable and the accompaning veges and/or salad fresh and wholesome. Huge portions let you re-experience the meal... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2004While I will agree that the food is better than average, I must say that the service is not a pleasure. It has nothing to do with the waitresses or waiters (though I don't think I have ever encountered a waiter) abilities... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2004Over rated. Good meat, lousy everthing else. How you can you rate a restaurant good when everything they do is bad exept one? Its like being in a Chicago stock yard. Herd 'em in, herd 'em out. Here's a nice piece of meat,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2004I've been across the country and I have never found the same (or better) food quality or value as I have found at the Hilltop. I have been going there for over thirty years and always make it a point to go there when I come... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2004You just cannot find better steak. You can't get better steak in Kansas City, Chicago, New York, Houston or Denver. This is just the place for big time steak lovers. Everybody knows so plan your trip to Hilltop around... (more)
